Magnus Carlsen's FAVOURITE Game From The Queen's Gambit

Beth Harmon’s game against D.L. Townes was my favourite game in The Queen’s Gambit. See me break down this nail-biting sequence for @NetflixNordic. #TheQueensGambit​ #MagnusCarlsen​ #chess

Magnus introduces himself at the beginning of a video like my grandma does when she calls me

“Hi I’m Magnus carlsen”

Me: doesn’t see the rook is trapped

Video length is π. Good times.

I love that they made the shows chess so realistic, to a point where actual chess players could follow the chess's storyline and that the producers didn't just move around random pieces around. Just makes me appreciate the story even more

Damn this guy is smart, he should be a professional chess player

When you realise Magnus is the best queens gambit player of all time

I love how he sees the game as simply lovely…almost intimate, shy. I just see chess pieces, but I appreciate that at the Magnus level, it’s all about art.

I was wondering how the show's producers came up with such authentic looking games until I read that Kasparov was involved in it then I understood. :-)

[@midievel8479]

it's insane how the rook is literally trapped!! My mind has been blown

Fun fact: this was composed by Henri Rinck and in 1927 was featured in “700 Fins de Partie”. It is also

Its so cool, when I started working as an extra on the set I never expected the series to explode like it did! Was a grat time there, and now I am even more proud that I was a part of it (even though a small part)

[@chrisgk7494]

Yes you added the board! That was the only thing these videos were missing.
