[@DaRealPielover1987]

I've come to understand that Magnus is the only person alive actually playing the game. Everyone else is memorizing board states and recalling to the best of their ability. Edit: Obvious oversimplification. And yes - memorizing board states and theoretical lines is a skill.

[@hypercubemaster2729]

Exactly.

[@GhostShivsOfficial]

don’t disrespect me like that.

[@JackHarb89]

I think of all the Super GM's Hikaru is doing that as well, of course not as good as Magnus, but Hikaru tries to play of prep a lot. Deviates a lot to play chess actually, because all of the new GM's are so well damn prepped, it's hard to play the real lines. So Magnus and Hikaru early deviates to actually play the position not something they memorized.

[@mcronrn]

Gosh, I thought I was playing chess… especially since I can’t remember anything…

You said that Nepo forgot that Magnus could take en passant but there's no way Nepo forgot about that. I'm 1100 and could never forget that. Nepo did crack though, probably felt like he had to try something.

[@bmomosaik]

this Magnus is really a Up and coming star i hope he plays some real top level talent to see how he ranks

[@ChocolateMilk..]

Nepo is definitely top level talent, but I think Magnus is too old to achieve anything substancial in chess. That's the crux of being a late bloomer.

[@opus5770]

when Carlsen played Rh3 why didn't Ian kick him away with Ng1? it would have meant undeveloping that knight but it would have been worth it to get a little space back for his h pawn to move and breathe a bit. it there something im not seeing?

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah playable maybe tho at some point the knight would need to re enter the game anyway I guess , also very unnatural move in bullet never mind longer time controls

Your videos on Magnus have made me go for way more end games, instead of conceding something just to keep pieces on the board. And then, I realize that I'm not Magnus, and that I have no idea on how to judge who is better in an end game, and also no idea on how to play them. My precious rating points. They stole them from us.

[@segercliffhanger]

For an Englishman, your French is quite suave, if you care to hear. It sounds pretty suave to me. Carlsen is not a man of repertoire if you think about it, at least not anymore. He is a man of board memes, something like that, in a distinct way. Very man to man, guy to guy, in your face. And unbeatable at it. Every once in a blue moon someone does it, and then that becomes pandemonium, obviously. He needs a wife. That may cure that endless chopping up of other guys. Nakamura is looking suave lately, for instance.

[@epicchess2021]

Haha true I don’t know his relationship situation and my French isn’t good but I try at times 😁

[@bigjimstream]

Have to say, even for a chess novice, it's obvious Carlsen is the best chess player alive. People keep posting videos about how good he is and trying to analyze his every move. "that was a master class, that was a brilliant move, Carlsen is changing chess". It's like watching Michael Jordan tie his shoe and trying to figure out how his crossover got by you for the dunk. At that moment, why did he choose to dribble that way? In that moment of time there may have been hundreds of reasons collectively. Wait, he chose not to crossover, he went behind the back instead 1 second later. In that moment, there were a hundred different reasons why he chose that move because 1 second later everything had changed. Chess is the same. One move changes everything. One move introduces new human cognitive incalculable outcomes but Carlsen's mind is capable of seeing farther into the future than anyone else alive and by no trivial amount. To make matters worse for challengers, his mind is capable of storing thousands of past chess games/moves so he not only can calculate the best move farther in the future he can remember more past moves than anyone playing. These are skills you are born with or not. No amount of practice gives you this ability.
