Magnus Carlsen is a Norwegian chess grandmaster who is the former five-time World Chess Champion, reigning four-time World Rapid Chess Champion, and reigning six-time World Blitz Chess Champion. Arguably the greatest Chess player of all time, Carlsen has held the No. 1 position in the FIDE world chess rankings since 1 July 2011 and trails only Garry Kasparov in time spent as the highest-rated player in the world. His peak rating of 2882 is the highest in history. He also holds the record for the longest unbeaten streak at the elite level in classical chess.
He became a grandmaster at the age of 13, the second youngest in history at the time, and quickly established himself as a rising star in the world of chess. In 2013, Carlsen won the World Chess Championship and has since defended his title multiple times, solidifying his position as one of the greatest players of all time.
Carlsen is known for his exceptional skill in the fast-paced bullet chess format, where he regularly defeats other top players in high-pressure matches. He has been compared to legendary chess players such as Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer for his strategic abilities and quick-thinking, earning him the respect and admiration of his peers. His greatest rival in the chess world is American Rapid & Blitz specialist Hikaru Nakamura, against whom he has had many intense battles.
In addition to his impressive track record in competitive chess, Carlsen is also known for his willingness to take on challenges outside of the traditional chess world. He has played chess against artificial intelligence and has even competed in the World Blitz and Rapid Championships, where he won multiple gold medals. In recent times, Carlsen has turned to playing Poker, of which he has had limited success. With his natural talent and dedication to the game, Carlsen continues to be a dominant force in the world of chess and a true legend in the sport.

“So why am I playing it?” 😂

[@manny2092]

Magnus is secretly a great chess educator.

[@petarpetrov1977]

Magnus is NorwayFish Chess-Engine!

[@Andrei-bl5ic]

at 0:23 why doesnt white go d5 to push the knight away instantly?

[@kabuky1256]

Magnus was confused for the same reason 😂

[@slowfreq]

If Magnus were playing me, and I played 1. d4, and he responded with Nc6, I would think "He probably has something crazy in mind for if I push d5."

[@paypig919]

good endgame

[@adrianmansilla6292]

Excelente lección para aprender como jugar un final de juego y ganar la partida! Gracias Campeón!

[@user-hn8pv7dz7v]

0:46 Magnus’ knight is trapped by pawn b4, am I right?

[@abdulbasitkhan3146]

No, becasue if he plays b4, his night of c3 is hanging while his rook is under attack as well

[@user-hn8pv7dz7v]

I see, thanks. This is my unique style in chess - blunders here and there to shock the opponent

[@JSE4]

At 1:20 his knight is definitely trapped with b4 though isn’t it?

[@Barfyman_362_]

⁠@@JSE4his C5 pawn takes

[@sniffableandirresistble]

It's funny that the #1 player in the world isn't the World Champion.

[@abwexposed9890]

He's been world champion many times

[@sniffableandirresistble]

@abwexposed9890 and isn't now obviously, but he is still playing so well he is #1 in the ratings

[@randeutch7866]

Magnus knight wasn't trap for about 2 turns?

[@sandipansarkar3717]

Yes I thought also the same

[@ismaelvolf4759]

Why this man gets so often lucky and wins so many games? It baffles me.

[@kahwigulum]

He moves out of theory and into a new realm that other players are taught avoid. Chess has become a game of rote theory and prepared moves while Magnus plays on inspiration and creativity. It's not luck. He reads the position and isn't bound by what he ought to do. His whimsy is his strength.

[@Relaxguy777]

​@@kahwigulumThis is why Magnus and Tal are my favorite players of all time

[@Tx66]

Consistent luck is called skill my friend

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

LISTEN to what he says at the end in the Knight vs Bishop endgame - what you hear is a description of technique as a world class chess technician grinds down a weaker player.

[@TurdBoi-tf5lf]

Skill

[@uragonkadi356]

Black missed B4 to trap the knight

[@Anfield_the_place_to_be]

No, because if B4, BXC3, KXA5, BXA1😊

[@late8641]

How can the score be 5.5 - 6? That should be impossible.

[@togireal]

i guess those scores are of a online tournament consisting of multiple players, probably magnus has just started that's why he has comparatively low score

[@late8641]

@@togireal Ohh, I thought the score was between Magnus and a specific opponent. I Meant that in that case, the score would've been mathematically impossible.

[@suryahr307]

@@togireal Your first answer was right but Magnus joining late is wrong. It's not that much of a difference. Just one draw compared to the other guy's win.

[@togireal]

@@suryahr307 oh my bad, thanks for correction.

[@PredragCrnkovic]

How come the environment around him is always smoking free? Doesn't he ever have to fight against tobaco- addicts?

[@hallu6666]

This is chess addiction. Magnus is neither contributing anything to chess by playing all these random games, nor is he enjoying the drill. His bored face reveals that he needs daily doses of chess to remain high. It is a pity that chess has been reduced to this pathetic state of wood pushing by the world's strongest player against the clock.

[@duanearcher7576]

He's probably GOAT but I think he's very bored with chess at this time and in my opinion not doing the game any favors. He is still young, has money. Maybe time to do something else?
