He Just Wins By Doing "Nothing"

I'm one of those uncles watching. Thank you for explaining why capturing the B2 pawn.

“There are a few uncles watching” LOLLLLL. Man, agads humor is fantastic

[@G1stGBless]

why is that funny? feminist humor= oxymoron

[@DefaultDimension]

I got it! @1:11 is the legendary game where Magnus sacs his queen and beats Anish in the 2021 meltwater CCT finals!

[@rajatawasthi8339]

Just astonishing complexity of Chess. Thousands of games played over time but still just as of move 8, a completely new game.. Amazing❤

[@JBfromFL]

As a somewhat lower-level player I appreciate that you take a small amount of time to explain the obvious moves because they aren't always obvious to me. thank you,

Magnus is soo good because he remains ice cold and calm under any sort of pressure. That's why he's the goat 🐐

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Actually you can tell when Magnus gets tilted he expects the best from himself but when he messes up he takes it very hard

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

I’ve seen him titled after winning 😅

[@mao-janlin6751]

For those who is thinking Bg4 to skewer white rook and queen, there is Rxf6 reply attacking the black queen. If Qxf6 Qxg4, white has two pieces for a rook. Otherwise Bxd1, Rxb6, Bxc2, it's an equal trade.

[@marthadunkley6758]

@ 6:57. Yes I thought ..Bg4. Thanks for the extra branch of analysis 🙂 (BTW it is a pin, not a skewer which would be having to move the higher value to give up the lower not this)

"Just play simple moves and win, always works for me." - Magnus, 2024

[@jacobwatson1818]

Got yo cover that game two comeback from Magnus. That was spectacular.

[@clivethereddevil3178]

2:36 8...Nc6 is not a new move. Magnus himself played it against Pawel Teclef (2553) in the world rapid teams in August 2024.

[@jessejordache1869]

Look at you with the Hans Neimann level research. "You prepared for a variation in a line that Magnus has never played?" "Actually, he played it in [misnames the tournament, gets the year off by one, but correctly names his opponent -- Wesley So.]" And the innovation that Niemann prepared for was 5.a3. In a 4.g3 Nimzo-Indian. Which is kinda "duh" -- like it had never been played before, but it's totally in the spirit of the position. Neimann's a polarizing figure, so to be clear, I'm complementing you.

[@omare7475]

Can't believe you chose to show this game and not the one before that everyone's talking about!

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I think it was the game prior to this one Wesley had a huge advantage on Magnus right from the opening but proceeded to choke his way to a loss . It’s definitely a great tournament many great players of course Magnus the favorite to win

[@jeremywilliams5107]

When your opponent is making errors, do not interrupt him.

[@cloudtheavegner1000]

"This is for ruining my birthday and Valentine's Day that one time." - Magnus Carlsen, probably.

[@eBud1977]

8:09 completely disagreeing with the assessment. Bxb7 and also the black a6 pawn cannot be protected. Three passed pawns in a battery and this needs to be analyzed further.

[@rajasaha354]

Excellent 👌 play , Magnus Carlsen

[@GLOBETROTTER2024]

1:38 anyone noticed Magus time 😃 may be this is just replay to Wesley at Tata steel India comment 😮😮🥶

[@animes3205]

Game 2 was the best game. That should've been the one agad analyze

[@mayankita91]

Agreed

[@primeobjective5469]

The GOAT wins. Flawless victory. Fatality.

[@xethnyrrow]

And it was in this position, upon wanting to play Qxb2, that I was called an uncle by agadmator, as there is nothing more to be done.

[@MrShabbaaaa]

Carlsen after the comeback against So - "Honestly, if we played this tournament in another country, I probably would have resigned"

[@danielviana5776]

The second game between them was very good, you could bring this game for us

[@Don_Kacperro]

The description says Carlsen vs Nepo and the moves are also wrong. Great video tho.

[@jl8217]

"all of the beverages" :)

[@jessejordache1869]

g3 may be a sideline of a sideline, but if Magnus transposes into his favorite Taimanov Sicilian, it's suddenly a main line. And if So swaps pawns in the center, the position gets kind of anti-Tarrasch/Rubensteinish.

[@KelseyOConnell-z3d]

I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@SebinMatthew]

People praising gukesh and rightly so. But its just to take the title seriously when magnus is so dominant. I hope he returns and plays another title match. Or fide changes the format appropriately to accomodate carlsens preferences. A true chess championship must have all formats

[@quirkasaurussaurus2896]

i don't know. i think a simple round-robin classical tournament with the top 16 rated players would be good. Everyone plays everyone. Highest score wins. If there's tie on top, it's sudden death; with a coin-flip to decide the color.

[@edoson01]

At 7:02 why not bishop to g4?

[@aloobaloo68]

people wanted the second game, where Magnus comes back out of nowhere

[@kaueadm]

@@Sinriel thanks buddy hihihihihihi

[@jessejordache1869]

I want to study this game, but I'm too lazy. But surely Magnus knows that in general, if you've got the iso you want to avoid minor piece trades, and I didn't see anything concrete in the position to ameliorate that rule. Plus, he'd have been happy with a draw. Ugh, chess is hard.

My first expression of concern appeared early in the game when Wesley put both his knights together on b3 and c3. It may have been insignificant but a pattern I haven't seen. Any comments will be appreciated.
