Why do you keep using Magnus and Hans to support your KZbin enterprise? Have you no shame? I guess the clinking of gold coins is louder than dignity.

[@waxoncrypto9524]

The bit with castling in game 4 reminded me of my own thought process when I'm playing online. If I the opponent loses the ability to castle: "Haha look at that dumb king who can't go anywhere. I'm so smart for finding that move" If I lose the ability to castle: "Whatever man, screw you. I wasn't going to castle this game anyway."

He ruined that legacy by wrongfully accusing a guy of cheating against him following a loss. Unfortunately we will remember the drama rather than the games. Same with Bobby Fischer, people gloss over how much of a genius he was because of the drama that surrounded him.

[@ozansahin3596]

Hope he never gets a Shitflix documentary. World should understand this that Netflix sucks. They started good and created a culture that people call ''Netflix and Chill'' which is more about doing ''Netflix and Chill'' now rather than watching a quality production. I mean in a possible Magnus doc on Netflix, we might see that Magnus in fact is a transgender black Asian-African Norwegian and at the end of the doc they might mention about his little chess career.

Levy- 46th request for the video where we see Fischer and Korchnoi, some of the TOP players of their time, go at it. They had almost all their wins with black, and Korchnoi went against Karpov twice in WCCs, but never Fischer. So it can be a fantastic idea for a historical and INTERESTING/FUN video, bro.

[@amosdraak3536]

And please, man. Just because people aren’t giving these comments likes doesn’t actually mean anything. Literally the comments making jokes take up the top and more serious comments get buried. But a lot of people like historical content on your channel, and have admitted it, and this video idea is I believe never done on KZbin before, bro. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Shoutout from the Faroe Islands your work is getting better and better. I'am very strong bridge player, I guess my Elo if converted from bridge to chess would be about 2650 to 2700. My first love was chess but I stoped playing when I, was 16 and took to playing bridge. I still love chess but I would not be above 1800 Elo that would be on a good Day now but my love for the game is still there. Levy the vids you keep uploading Day after Day that keep me hungry for more you are amazing bro. A fun fact, norway have the strongest chessplayer by a country mile but they also have the strongest bridge player in the world, I mean what are the odds? There are approx. the same number of chess players as there are bridge players. And the fact that Norway with it's 5,5 mil people top the list in chess and bridge just blows my mind🖤

An average GM has rating between 2.5-2.6k, an IM 2.4-2.5,an FM 2.3-2.4 and an SGM 2.7-2.8. So its natural that a SGM has a bigger gap than GM, than GM to IM since there is an extra 100 points of elo difference. Theoretically GM-FM and SGM-GM have an equal skill gap. Potentially even bigger because of the threshold of 2.7-2.8k (too few higher rated players). So yeah, there should be an official title for SGM since 2 titles seperate GM from FM. And honestly this makes it even more amazing that Magnus has been able to stay above 2850 the majority of his career even when almost nobody reaches 2.8k.
