Magnus Carlsen shows how to calculate squares in chess.

[@ich2712]

Calculating the line is no problem, most of the intermediates can do that. But actually recognizing, that you are winning there without spending at least 10 minutes is insane

[@robertrodes1546]

Where he just says "and I should be better in the rook ending"! I followed it to the point that I could see the position, but no way I could just evaluate that position as better. Amazing to get to watch him clean up in the ending that he visualized.

[@darkhunterc7]

The Secret is experience (obviously), the amount of positions you can remember at once and playing lots and lots of finals... Carlsen's level is so high hw achieved this kind of position milions of times apparently, so he could handle things like he's doing his every morning coffee, with one hand tied behind his back... We also can achieve this level... by training and gainind experience you can shoot as high as your determination permits

[@johnstahl3256]

@@robertrodes1546 I think the easiest way to tell that his position is winning is that his rook keeps the black king pinned at the back of the board, whereas Magnus's king is free to simply walk up and eat stuff. Obviously Magnus saw more than just that, but I think that's the gist of it.

[@dagifelner9298]

actually no. not at all. cause you can easily calculate, that your pawn is gonna go trough.

[@vegeta4693214]

He knows he's better in that position because it's an endgame and his king is closer to the center, every intermediate player would see that. One impressive thing is he anticipated his opponent would play Kf5, but maybe he was just calculating that just in case. The truly impressive thing is how he casually walked his king though the board to promote the pawn, he didn't even had to calculate that, I'd spent a lot of time wondering what's the best square for my king to avoid checks and losing material.

[@maelstrom57]

* Magnus simply calculates a line.

[@3AdaptationAcademy3]

lmao, so true

[@agustin1204]

He makes it look sooo easy 👏

[@AhmadJustin]

The magic is not the calculation part (which in itself is very impressive), it's the part where Magnus can conclude "I should be better in the rook ending" in a heartbeat after he's done with the calculation.

[@robinburkart6445]

He is or at least used to be the best lategame player in the world, no? So of course he thinks he should be better in any ending.

"She will play Qd4, this will trigger a synapse in her brain that will cause her in the next game to pre-move incorrectly Rd8. I will take advantage of that and she will resign. In our 3rd game she will want to play a line she is most familiar with to prevent another blunder. Unfortunately for her, I am more familiar with that line."

Awesome technique there....very strong player bossed.

[@Hector_10305]

Yes, he should dedicate himself to this, it seems like he has a lot of future.

[@CapAnson12345]

Interesting how he instantly sees and plays the winning endgame plan once she makes a mistake. I might find that but I'd have to think about it for ten minutes. He just does it immediately.

[@colddeath37]

Tons of experience makes it see every possibilities in seconds. To make a different line of speaking, you need ten minutes because you are calculating a line with your pieces meanwhile magnus just remember various aspects that he saw thousands times before so he just put those puzzle pieces into the game

[@Raymart6543]

That's how GMs play chess. It's no longer a game but rather a series of memorization that goes through their heads. Calculation only goes second. I dare not to say that a single person can actually memorize the Shannon's number but the realm of possibility is close if you have an eidetic memory. This is why most GMs chess battles always result in a draw because at the top of competition, the battle is between your opponents psyche and your own. In short, you wait for the opponent to blunder or if you have a higher state of mind than your opponent, you can force them to take a blunder because it only takes a single major mistake to turn things around in the game of chess.

Magnus looks like hes just been out jogging. I think he really enjoyed this casual game as hes not competing in tournaments.

[@GrouperGames]

@4:47 - why was it a bad pre-move? Might she have played the completely illogical Rc8 (or Ra6)? Is that it?

[@MrSupernova111]

I'm guessing Kf7 to e7 and it acts like a blockader. In the game the e-pawn was able to run freely because the lone rook on e8 was no match for white's pawn, rook and king.

[@MilesHemingway]

No, the line would be Rf8 followed by Ke2 and Rxf5. This stops white from getting his passed pawn in the centre (for example after Rxf5, Rxe6 Kf7 Ra6 Rxe5+)

[@depressaoforte]

there is no way he thinks these pieces and their colors are ok,even the board, absolutely terrible
