My hope was that by watching enough of these I would, by osmosis, absorb some of his skill. It hasn't worked so far, but I'm keen to continue.

[@Eorzat]

@Okaro Shinn It does well for improving basic positional play actually. I've noticed that I tend to play a bit better if I play immediately after watching some banter blitz. It all tends to go back to shit eventually, but for a slight moment I play pretty well.

[@TheSoulBlossom]

Lol, even Magnus wants Messi goes to Manchester City, jajaja, It was the best thing of this boring and lazy banter blitz session, full of too easy games without any interest at all because it seemed that Magnus wanted to be relaxed and zero waste of energy, but he chose too many weak players this time, only Pepe Cuenca made a decent game, playing a bit like Fo in the middle game but Magnus saw the trap at time and Pepe fade away once he realized that he was worse.

I find it amusing that these higher rated players cannot play defense half as well as 11-1300. Or the endgame exchanges. I suspect computers aided in achieving thier ratings (obviously). If I offended someone with this I’m not sorry. It’s illogical given thier ratings and in the manner in wich they crumble given thier positions in comparison to lower rated player like myself who are used to playing against engine cheaters. Magnus as an opponent aside I won’t take back a word I said.

[@markstabenau7229]

Why is anybody watching this? It's like Federer against my neighbour or me or whoever. The insights of 3200 against 1400-2500 and 2800 against 1400-2500 are basically the same. This is just a waste for "magnus time". Let him play only above 2800, pls. I get it. I'm 1900. I'm tempted to subscribe to play only once against him. But i think this is immoral and makes me think less of him (although i'm a big fan).
