​@@ericastier1646I watched a video a while ago where someone got Magnus to play some of their endgame puzzles. He had to know if the end game was winning or a draw and the move to play. I distinctly remember several times after Magnus solved it, he would say something like "yeah, you know about the knight square" and Magnus is like, "no, I have never heard of it, but now hearing the game that makes sense He just knows the game at an instinctual level. He's the guy that shows up to the wrong class and passes the test because the answers all made sense.

@@adamestes9745 no, there is no such guys. the guy who pretend to sleep in the class is good at hiding how hard he listens and he works his butt off at home. Magnus is so into chess that most of his emotions are from chess, not social life. That is why he looks debonair and so relaxed. There are no guys who shows up the wrong class and passes again all of them are deceiving you.

That's the thing! Magnus have the best sense of how to beat players, not computers. Reason why most of the time everyone fails against him. Because they take the computer trainings too much. Not optimal for a human play. I remember the game 2 years ago against Anish Giri, where Magnus sacrificed his Queen for 3 pieces. And play the best Endgame I have ever seen. Anish said later, that move took him completely out of ''book'', because the engine never suggested such a move as a variant to consider in his opening preparation. Also you can see it on the evaluation bar as a ''bad'' move. The question is, bad for whom? It's bad between engines, not humans. So, many people are training as a computer now days with so much tech, but not as a human. And that! makes Magnus succeed. He knows how to beat people. And that's what matters on tournaments. Basically, his mind works just for winning, not on how to win perfectly. PD: Reason why he also have the skill to spot a cheater better than anyone else. IMO. That skill is also visible in some other Top players. But apparently there are some other without a clue. Cough cough, Kramnik.

Puzzles in the video just test their memorization rather than tactics. However, the way Magnus and Alireza executes the puzzle perfectly once they find the pattern somewhat shows they are more of strategy based players rather than memorization. Magnus is not even paying a lot of emphasis on it. Just as Fischer said, Chess turning into a memorization game.

The last puzzle, Bxe6 works too because the threat is to play Qc3 followed by Qe3# and there's nothing black can do to prevent it. For exemple if blacks play: -dxe4 Qc4# -Kxe4 Qe3# -Bxh4 + Kh3 Rf3+ Qxf3 followed by Qc3 and Qe3#. Black can't do anything. -Bxc5 (to prevent white from playing Qe3 after Qc3) Ng5 and then Qc3 mate, unavoidable.

@@JoeJoe-uh5rp there are much older videos of him solving much much harder puzzles, it is clearly common sense that he did not care enough to solve them, on the second puzzle he said 'at glance' so he looked at it and maybe after a few seconds he solved it, so yes magnus does not care enough to solve the puzzles

For most of the comments, not solving it doesn't mean they're bad. They literally only have 10 seconds. In Hikaru's video solving puzzles, he has the time he needs to solve them, and just like Nodirbek says it, if he had an hour he'd prolly get it. As for Magnus, he makes his own brilliant move, I remember a time he made a brilliant move for humans where engine says otherwise, but brilliant for humans. I think it was from Magnus vs Anish Giri from 2021. You can search it up. There is also a difference in playing from the start than going straight to the position. Playing from the start means it was your plan anyways to get into that position, unlike looking straight at a puzzle where you don't even know how did we get into that position. MVL was a beast though, he knew every puzzle no sweat.

Chess beginner here. Solved the first one. I was shocked because for some reason the sequence just jumped out at me. So when they kept saying they couldn't see it, I had to pause the video and pull up a chess board to see it in action. I also tried the other puzzles, but I had to give up. Guessing the first one was just a lucky find. Fun stuff!
