I wish I had a dad like that, a good family makes all the difference.

[@bonganimazibuko1901]

This is the type of dad im becoming

[@Brian_fooking_Ferry]

Lol

[@marianserra8371]

It sure does. I shared this clip to my son in law. He's a terrific father and my little grandson plays chess. I couldn't gave asked for a better Dad for my grandson or husband for my daughter. ❤️

[@williamwallace4080]

Yep, he makes tonnes of money so I was always good financially. I just wish he'd show me he loves me instead of buying me clothes (that I appreciate but i do not ask for). He hasn't spoken to me since may 2021 even though I've seen him several times since then. It's because he's disappointed that I haven't graduated from uni yet. He doesn't know or think that not talking to me isn't going to improve my happiness and mental health.

I bet there are quite a few more magnusses out there, who just dont have a good father to help them develop

[@moshmosh26]

Loved that story. Interesting that his parents didn't raise him to be a pro player, and he took this path on his own. I would guess that's rare for a top skilled player

[@Spaxcore]

I think that's the difference between pushy parents and supportive parents. I'm sure if Magnus had wanted to be a soccer player then he would have recieved the same amount of support.

[@marianserra8371]

Love this, thanks Lex, I shared this w my son by law. 👍

[@markmorris7123]

@@tnaf4950 losing is how you learn..I went through a phase where I was working from 9 till 5. I 'd get home and play chess with my jobless friend until one in the morning..Then the same the next day, and the next and the next ......

[@giacdeg]

Sorry I'm very much an amateur and I've been playing that move or a variation using that exact pin for years. Strange to hear someone so good comment like there is something unusual about it.

[@Ausnapify]

Lmao

[@EricDodsonLectures]

Dang. Was that chess set caught in a mud-slide at some point?

[@noThankyou-g5c]

overlaying a digital board would make it a lot easier to follow than a pov shot of a real board (in my opinion. especially since nowadays the vast majority of chess is played online)
