it isnt hard. When a kid is young,they know nothing. You can teach them anything from sports to quantum physics,theyll be attentive. Its also the age period where brains absorb most basic knowledge like being able to speak a language.

[@TWHowl]

A young child can focus obsessively on something if they associate joy or excitement or intrigue with it. Unfortunately, so many skills or subjects are framed negatively to children and they simply cannot associate positive emotions w those subjects and they will reject them.

[@madafaka8784]

Why they gotta do Kasparov like that? “When he finally did arrive, he didn’t even say hello” *Shows Kasparov shaking hands w him as he sat down*

[@disturbeddemons1]

That's not a nicety, it's a tradition. That's how the beginning of a game is signified. It's like bowing to your opponent in martial arts. It is done regardless of circumstance or kindness. To not do so would be extremely disrespectful and would likely incur a lot of hatred and loss of respect for the player who acted that way.

[@siphillis]

The whole section with Kasparov is misleading. In reality, Kasparov was quite enamored by Magnus' skill, and flew down to Norway to spend some time with his family. Years later, Kasparov would coach Magnus for a year, ironing out some of his aggressive tendencies, while sharpening his instincts for piece dynamics. Kasparov has stated his approval of Magnus as the ambassador of the game, and feels he should absolutely be in the conversation for best ever. The insinuation that Kasparov feared or reviled Magnus is a fabricated storyline by CBS.

[@rg1809]

@@siphillis I did not get that interpretation from the program. Kasparov simply offered the draw and time running out, Magnus accepted. Kasparov then simply got up and walked off, taken by the youngsters play (as evidenced by the head shake during the game). At the time, Kasparov would not fear anyone sitting across from him at a chess match, and would not give a child enough thought to revile him.

[@josiahbrush4324]

Magnus has no danger of becoming ill in the way Bobby Fisher had. The issue is that Bobby lacked the supportive family and the integration with friends and other interests. Magnus has a more solid footing in the world, which shows in his humility and thoughtfulness towards others. Madness does not come from playing chess at this level per se, but from anything for which an individual has poor coping skills exposing them to more chronic stress. Bobby had not achieved the necessary internal internal integration to understand where chess fit into his sense of self in the world of people.

[@AcceleratorUlz]

this is a very well thought out, well worded comment. good job.

[@mikkoj.heikkinen8181]

Most probably genetics. Bobby's mother was diagnosed as "stilted (paranoid) personality, querulent [sic] but not psychotic." His most probable biological father Paul Nemenyi was a genius but had mental issues. He would always carry soap with him, always washing his hands (OCD). The Jewish family services considered Nemenyi somewhat of a paranoid type. So Bobby inherited genius and mental illness.

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

Only criticism I have of this video is how they portrayed Kasparov as this cocky disrespectful player who showed up, lost and then left. First of all, he and Magnus had played before, this was just the first time it ended in a draw. Second of all, Kasparov actually went on to win the tournament, having won all games except for thr draw against Magnus. Shaking hands and leaving is standard Chess behavior. He is concentrating, so Is Magnus. Its an exhausting game especially at that level they play. Its not that he is treating Magnus with Disrespect. Its that He treats Magnus like a tough opponent. Not a kid but a player. Kasparov also went on to Coach Magnus for about a year and to this day speaks incredibly highly of him. Similar to the actual clip on youtube about this match, Kasaprov is played out as this smug, arrogant player who cant beat the underdog. Which is done solely for dramatizing Other than that this was a great video! Especially the interveiwer was great

Simple correlation, more likely. Geniuses are neurally atypical, and neurally atypical people are vastly more likely (though not guaranteed) to also be neurally dysfunctional (in some ways if not others).

Other than theyre both chess GMs

[@aytansafarli7701]

Similarities: they both played simultaneously, both stood up during a game, both were beating adults at a very young age. I really do think the writers were inspired by him

[@lucasscott8516]

If you look up Bobby Fischer the similarities are even more significant. Both American who successfully upended the Russian dominance in chess during the Cold War period, both a little crazy, etc.

[@CaptainBenjamins]

"He is the star, as celebrated in this world as Eli Manning is in his" Kind of a random person to compare to Magnus. Eli is not even the best QB in his own family

[@ShakenBake145]

This looks like it was posted in February 2012. Giants had just knocked off the Pats in the SB for the second time, Eli had 2 rings and was still young.

Magnus in Latin means “Mighty” or “Powerful”. Coincidence? I think not.

"The number of possible moves: infinite." Yea its a very very big number but it certainly isn't infinite.

[@aexuus7733]

waverleyrocker Well if there are only the 2 kings left, draws weren't considered, and the 50 move rule wasn't a rule, than yes, the number of moves are infinite.

[@Bormeir]

...but chess does have these rules, so there are finite games

[@harambeisthenewpac8174]

The number of possible moves in a game is around 10^120. So for 10 games: (10^120)x10 =/= infinite. But i think he was talking about the number of possible combinations (moves) on all 10 games Carlsen was playing at the same time, which is (10^120)^10 = infinite. I might be wrong tho.

[@dsjoakim35]

And now you multiply that by whatever you want, lets say 2. Is that now two infinities or still just one?

Wow Kasparov treated him like shit. He should have hung out with him for the day and discussed chess for a little bit maybe taught him a secret trap or something. That probably would have meant a lot to a young kid.

[@Rayyning]

911Gameover Kasparov trained Magnus for some time. He also did spend time with him as a child-- showing him a few tricks. There's a video of it.

[@feignit]

Kasparov is all about the mind games, arriving late, being rude, trying to tilt opponent. Magnus too good to completely fall victim to it.

It's crazy because it's not just chess. The guy has the insane talent to have 100% focus for hours on something.

But now he could be on that danger?. Man generaly is not just good taking only praises and fame and wealth,. I think he has somekind of minor asperger/ authisim form; maybe he could put up with these things more but usually people in the end fall if they get everything,. Also motivation is needed he said he has lost it long ago, I think he manages because unique memory and talent,. Now in the chess Pro series they get to be in the groups spending time together it may be good or bad,. but always some danger where people are closely in the groups, and some partying / drinking :)

He'll never go mad like Fisher. He doesn't have the temperament. Even as a kid you could see the darkness in Fisher. Magnus is an easy going genius.

You know you don't need to call every genius "The Mozart of X", right? Carlsen's personality as a chess player is nothing like Mozart's.

[@DexterHaven]

You sound like the Pete Best of chess. j/k

[@nickr4837]

i think it s an apt analogy in this instance. both child prodigies that realized their goals in adulthood. both known for natural ability as opposed to someone who struggled to achieve greatness.

[@piasecznik]

Sure, but there's a lot of people like that around. Mozart though is known for his playfulness and easy-going compositions, while Magnus is known for fairly dry, error-free play that will suffocate an opponent to death eventually. If we're looking for a Mozart of chess it'd be more like Mikhail Tal, not Carlsen.

[@piasecznik]

Cliff Yablonski Excuse me? Carlsen's MO is to suffocate people in long games because he concentrates much better than them, especially against older opponents. He's said so himself in lots of interviews. This isn't some sort of original analysis I'm doing. It's not even a *negative* comment about Carlsen. It's an extremely effective strategy.

[@jjr8364]

Mozart created compositions. Carlson creates- what? Magnus is a master player, though, and a comparison to other players (NOT composers) would be more apt. How about "The Lang Lang of Chess?" Not as dramatic as "Mozart" but far more apropos.
