Magnus Carlsen’s Strategic Mastery Over a 3000 Rated GM in Blitz Chess

[@emerj101]

Lmao, that Hans clip is GOLDEN 😂

[@Shadow-7295]

yeah, it is amazing. I almost get what he is trying to say

[@johnproton259]

I like the glint in his eye when he says it. Hans has a good sense of humour.

[@quirkasaurussaurus2896]

i know not to play the french if i ever play hans.

[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

WTF he is talking abouth 😂😂😂

[@elbasta]

I hereby apologize for Rook C2. I understand how disappointed you might all be, I'll try to do better.

[@epicchess2021]

😆😁

[@bbjygm]

Good. Admitting you are a disappointment is the first step in becoming the opposite, an appointment.

[@tomwright4450]

Your chess commentary is the best out there..I am sure you will have 1 million subscribers 12 - 18 months. Why? Short, to the point and entertaining and only 10 Minutes. For most chess players who are between average and good, this is perfect, Deep dives analysis, is great for those going for tournaments for the most part. Congrats!

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks very much appreciate it!

[@BasvandenBerg]

It's also great for people like me who don't really know any chess. :D

[@revenantronin8377]

Hans was yapping about the French only to say, "...that's why this is the greatest course of all time" lmao.

[@chipsafan1]

He only said that to make you think he thought that you thought it wasn't the greatest course of all time... I think

[@revenantronin8377]

@chipsafan1 The logic checks out!

[@AndrewKeifer]

@@chipsafan1 the word salad speaks for itself.

[@nathanielreichert4638]

Wait was he selling a chess master course or something? Oh brother 😂

[@kaiserk91]

Magnus Carlsens games will be studied for generations to come. His chess is truly out of this world, just like your commentary. Keep up the good work.

[@jordanw1643]

Kramnik: "This not positional chess, this procedural chess."

[@TheStealthDawg]

Magnus is this generations Mozart of chess. I truly don’t think we will see another one of his level ever.

[@mauijttewaal]

Gukesh is coming...

[@MordrinNaeblis]

Gukesh is not Magnus level, lol.

[@TruthSurge]

@@mauijttewaal please, this is a PG rated channel!

[@wolfebel6927]

7:30 great

[@wolfebel6927]

Best chesschannel

[@TheBlinto]

That hans clip at the start is ridiculous, i burst out laughing from the cringe. The guys a triple whopper extra sauce, hold the fries.

[@darthkek1953]

First there was Eric Bristow. Then there was Steve Davis. Now there is Magnus Clarson. It's like John Lowe and Ray Reardon all rolled into one.

[@lordcoco_]

You should know every time I play, there’s always some point in the game where I go “ahh, the banana hammock”

[@snobby_lobster]

You too? Every time I move the bishop more than two squares, I go "Whoosh" like a Grandmaster.

[@nickfazzio5277]

LMAO. That French Hans stuff was hilarious

[@LifesBetterNotGambling]

That Hans clip is literally the scene from the Waterboy.. “he fakes the fake… no he thinks about faking… he pretends to fake”

[@BWOOHAHAHAAA]

At my chess club people look at me like I'm a weirdo, when I move pieces with a woooosh or when I attempt the king safety fist bump. I point them all to your channel, so they can learn the basics of chess etiquette.

[@epicchess2021]

hahaha glad to hear thanks :d

[@Elwyn_the_Weird]

Hans’ saying about the Jobova is so helpful

[@TruthSurge]

as soon as I heard "Vishyanan's" I knew what was coming. hahah They used to catch me off guard. Now, not so MUSHROOMS much.

[@epicchess2021]

🤣😁

[@markharris5794]

I really respect how you never chose sides in the whole drama situation 😂😂

[@maximecharbonneau2516]

I know nothing about chess but this commentary is just too good.

[@billporter2731]

I have a saying about this position [Performs an Inspector Clouseau monologue]

[@renhansen1246]

3:21 Not to mention the masterful _word_ play by the Commentator, wielding the English language like a sword!

[@epicchess2021]

thanks a lot!

[@arkzbh]

Hans Nieman : "The missile knows where it is..... "

[@IndigoBassNotes]

Ive seen it b4 but the whole double reverse reverse psychology Hans explains is so amazing as GM Nakamura clearly confirms.

[@bernaridho]

Great play. Thanks for showing.

[@mikestaff3042]

Ok you got me good with the rook move, I actually put my hand up, then got roasted for it 🤣🤣

[@epicchess2021]

Haha 😄

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

What a beautiful, clean game. It does remind me of Karpov, whose positional play I came to appreciate.

[@Napolean71]

Thanks to that instructive clip from Hans, I can honestly say that I am happy in the French, even though I have minimal idea what that means.

[@matthebert007]

3:26- did he just say banana hammock?

[@magefreak9356]

Not the first time he has said this lol

[@matthebert007]

@magefreak9356 I know, I just wanted to say banana hammock.

[@joshpinchuk7061]

I Definitely would have played rook to c2

[@cloudforest4087]

That sure as hell was a "clean and positional game".

[@Hbmd3E]

MenuGarden must be Drunken Magnus

[@alexhidell663]

Epic Cheese is currently eating a kebab, mushrooms, c-prawns and a bucket of croissants

[@epicchess2021]

🤣🤣

[@sorryforbatenglish]

Hans is entertaining, I'll give him that.

[@jevitigre]

What is insane is that Danya is a very strong player and yet Magnus treated as if he were a rookie!

[@gmnotyet]

1:03 "I knew that you knew that I knew that you knew that I knew that you knew that I knew you wanted to play the French. Did you know that?"

[@enzorocha2977]

Magnus's game fits the phrase, "when the smoke clears," or "when the dust has settled, only one man will be left standing" ...and his name isn't Danya.

[@wayneheaton7020]

silky smooth delivery as always - great game well explained!

[@doggushead3825]

Magnus clearly an EC fan with a name like MenuGarden

[@Feverstockphoto]

The MenuGarden raises a glass to French Toast.

[@julianzvidzai3954]

not puzzle chess... just sublime positional chess. u cant see that coming

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

That was as usual brilliant from Magnus plus funny and insightful from you. Thanks James.

[@bmomosaik]

the son of carl strikes again

[@Kermitonwheels]

That was a beautiful game and fun commentary as always.

[@chipsafan1]

Really incredible game. Thank you for another great video 😀

[@ianstopher9111]

Magnus playing kiss chase with the queens.

[@OjaiBonsai]

I’m Norwegian and love to drink but am like 1400 rated on a good day WTF

[@BlueRaja]

I don't know what you're doing different, but this video has no English audio on the Xbox app. The one from a few days ago had the same issue, but your previous one did not.😢

[@daviddurbin7682]

Niemann has taken far too many critical thinking courses 😂

[@infiniterer287]

The "Rushin" school of chess 😏

[@wanttoread5]

Little known fact: Hans Feingold is French.

[@electric_crickets]

I think hans might be kamala's speech writer.

[@krishrao2778]

Reminiscent of Ulf Andersson at his best.Just wrap the opponent in white linen roll.

[@folarinrasaq9258]

Great commentary 👍

[@jasonsteverson4609]

JarJar Binks has never been to London

[@paulbloemen7256]

Quite amazing: Carlsen makes his top grandmaster opponent look like second rate. Well, compared to Carlsen he is, apparently. Quite a fluent, natural game, I like that: thank you for showing!

[@Truffle_Pup]

Always a headache listening to Hans, but it did crack me up... In the French. Edit: yeh that was naughty, Magnus's awareness of light and dark squares into the end game is absolutely nuts.

[@jacquessinclair3056]

Quality as always

[@jaysonrichwine6921]

“He didn’t go for any of these moves”…arrow points to king on g1 taking the undefended rook on a8 😂

[@aaronbaron3155]

Sounded like a word salad there hans

[@nathanielreichert4638]

I for one am very uncomfortable with going into the French 😂

[@obrianfrancis8957]

French French French 😂😂😂😂😂

[@PeterKahoun]

Not sure what has happened with this channel but the last 3 videos including this one suddenly do not have any english audio. Closed Captioning is in English but the audio languages keep cycling through a small group of foreign languages making them basically unwatchable. Has there been a change in how they are uploaded or somthing? Would love to be able to watch your videos again :-S

[@epicchess2021]

Sorry stupid KZbin doing it I’ll fix

[@ThundercloudDonkey]

Magnus was just toying with him

[@SeunAyodele-li2ns]

1:53 what was hans yapping about

[@HungryHipbo]

*E4* yea he's definitely a positional player

Rc2 wasn't a candidate move for me after I spotted Kxg2 (!)

[@epicchess2021]

😁

[@tobs9955]

I'm surely not playing the french, walking into the classical they knew I was playing the french but don't know the french and still went anyway.

[@morphyox6453]

Did Kasparov actually say MC is the combi of Karpov and Fischer?

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah

[@gmnotyet]

MenuGarden even sounds like Magnus Carlsen. ROFLMAO

[@bradmodd7856]

you''re not from around here are you?

[@zacharysherry2910]

Go Menugarbage! 💪

[@terronescyril8494]

Finally, I found your video on KZbin, ouauuuuuuu ;-) Great, as usual ! Bonjour James hope you are well, 1.55 pm in Viet Nam and la vie est belle ;-)

[@epicchess2021]

❤️

[@neumannickname]

2:15 Isn't this an advantage for white instead : knight b5 -> queen exchange -> knight c5 check -> knight a8 eating the castle?

[@epicchess2021]

Maybe right I forget details sorry!

[@trafyknits9222]

It must be hard to be Magnus and remain motivated to play against everyone else who's not really even close to his skill level. It's why he refused to defend his world title. A la Alexander the Great: "And Magnus wept, seeing as he had no more worlds to conquer"

[@jgarris0577]

Is magnus a military experiment?

[@matthebert007]

4:40 I like Kg1xRa8

[@snobby_lobster]

My rooks finally made it to the gym for some lifts because they were tired of being made fun of, but yes one of them definitely tried to go rook c2 there. I apologize to the whole community. I raised them better than that. I'm trying not to dwell on it but then I saw that my other rook downloaded the Will Smith Aladdin on his iPad and frankly they've shamed me worse than Prince Harry. I'm about to cut them off financially.

[@epicchess2021]

Hahaha

[@ehmkinator6597]

I also would have gone Rc2... but then I'm not rated 3000+

[@joan4p704]

Mushrooms - can't laugh and follow the game

[@Killswitchpulla]

Stoctopus!!!!❤❤

[@5inghster]

Heman's Jojo course! haha! I'll never play e6 again. Though wud have played that rook to C2 move, damn!

[@superfisto]

thanks for the cheese

[@paulmitchell5349]

French letters might be more useful for Hans .

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Great game Cagnus Marlsen this is what separates players like Kramnik and Magnus Magnus just plays and wins Kramnik plays loses than cries cheat he should’ve followed Magnus’s lead he’d be more respected Thanks James

[@michaelcook2290]

I would've done rook to C2 but in all fairness I was thinking of the French.
