Magnus Carlsen's Secret Weapon vs Sicilian Defense

[@vampirechicken]

Come watch the whole Magnus match: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJrEZX-JnLaYg7c

[@mikebaker2436]

Mamedyarov: "Do you even rook lift, bro?"

[@SyromerB]

"This should be a draw" But Magnus is playing, there is no drawn Endgame

[@giakhangdeptraivocungtan]

Same with me. Every endgame is a loss

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@giakhangdeptraivocungtan Magnus Carlsen new secret weapon when he loses.... resign from tournament and make thinly veiled reference to opponent cheating!

[@JaretDawson]

I came here to see an interesting Sicilian and ended up watching Risk for an hour, well played

[@AndrewVM11]

Always enjoy your analysis! Thank you for the fun and informative content.

[@kalistadrake5226]

Great video, as always! Thanks for showing us the "good stuff"!

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

Great upload thx!

[@Matthew-he3jw]

So in the first game, what was wrong with Rxb7+ ?

[@n0xure]

I believe h4 is also interesting in the Caro Kahn Advanced; it's only "drawish and therefor bad for white" in theory.

[@zelandakhniteblade5436]

After 4...Nd5, white can throw in 5. c4 before h5, giving them an improved version. German FM Marco Riehle has 2 games in the database in this line, both wins.

[@StygianStyle]

This is gangster pawnstorming stuff

[@albertlouisseize.]

Such a pedagogical video, Sir. Thank you so much.

[@pullupterraine199]

In the exact same position, in a classical game over the board, I also played 3. h4, but my opponent (200 points higher rated, well above the Élö rating of 2000) played 3... h6 with the intention of playing g5 if I further push the h pawn. He got me completely unprepared, and honestly, I hardly found 3... h6! in the database. Practically, this move killed my game and I lost. I later analysed this 3... h6, and black is already better.

Thanks for this video. Funny lines. 😁

[@originaljungle]

extra dubious you say 👀somewhere Eric Rosen's eys light up

[@seancrow6967]

Veary cool and unorthadox. I think it has a lot of potential for bullet and blitz.

[@jamesodis1]

I would like to thank everyone of you who checked out my King’s Row videos on You Tube. And for those of you who have not, why not. King’s Row is a uniquely different strategy board game. It is as challenging as chess but far easier to learn and become competitive at it. King’s Row allows new players to have challenging games and as your skills grows the competitive nature of the game grows with you, so you will never outgrow the game.

Finally! Day 14 of asking for a video on my funny English lines

[@giakhangdeptraivocungtan]

This is amazing!

[@jameslockhart2223]

It's hard to believe that what looks like a patzer's opening is playable. I don't understand chess any more!

[@brianbanks703]

vampire chicken, what?! Are you people for real?

[@НиколайШерстюк-ы7е]

And then he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@richardkeller4892]

I heard Magnus learned that move from Alphazero.

[@gregorymorse8423]

Magnus' other secret weapon is beads :)

[@cronosx6174]

Cool and superior opening by having a clear advantage after move 50. lmao

[@user-m8k9d]

The a3 sicilian is awesome, there is tons of tactics and in some lines even an early exchange sacrifice that black is most likely to accept even though it's not the engines choice: 1. e4 c5 2. a3 e6 3. b4 cxb4 4. axb4 Bxb4 5. Bb2 Nf6 6. e5 Nd5 7. c4 Nb6 8. Ra3 Bxa3 9. Bxa3 Qc7 10. Bd6 Qc6 11. Qg4 g6 12. Nf3 f5 13. Qg5 Qe4+ 14. Be2 Qxb1+ 15. Bd1 Qe4+ 16. Kf1 Qxc4+ 17. Kg1 Nd5 18. Qh6 Qc1 19. h4 Qxd1+ 20. Kh2 Qa4 21. Qg7 Qf4+ 22. Kg1 and checkmate is unavoidable. If black doesn't take the rook, 8. ... O-O 9. Rg3 Nc6 10. Qh5 adds serious pressure on the king side.

[@kalistadrake5226]

thanks! I'll try that!

[@tabby7189]

Remote Chess Academy has a video about this gambit

[@gyddamargrethe]

Serbian attack against English opening.. Reversed

[@eudesgeoffroy8416]

Yeah but what secret weapon can he have against a cheater who uses a comp? There is none. He lost to cheater niemann.

[@joeyxxx8848]

Great game! Usually enjoy dude's analysis, but what's with all the giggelys? Nerves or something?

[@НиколайШерстюк-ы7е]

And then he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
