Watch Magnus Carlsen Destroy the Caro-Kann Defense!

[@sinking1902]

The casual calculation is outrageous!

[@jaybingham3711]

Seems unreal that he's 6-8 ply deep in his analysis less than a second in. And after about one more second he's intuiting a couple of variations. But that's what's possible with an eidetic memory.

[@jutanboy]

makes it look so easy...

[@sliceserve234]

so f'g true

[@markhathaway9456]

Magnus has tremendous evaluation skills and that's largely developed after a zillion blitz games. There's little time to pick a position apart in detail, so one has to judge more wholistically. How good was White's Ne5 and Black's Re8? How good was White's Qh4 and Black's ...Qe6? These are the same kinds of comparisons Kasparov discussed. He called it "quality of the pieces".

[@CBFW_KO]

Love when guys like Hikaru and Magnus show their strength against lower rated players in exchange games

[@britkasablja007]

5:00 this is why chess masters are chess masters! They see 5 to 10 moves ahead... meanwhile average person can only see 2-3 moves

[@CashTeam1]

I don’t understand how did he “destroy “ his opponent. The opponent put up a good fight no ?

[@kingmarin5820]

Clickbait

[@Nulrom]

The opponent didn't put up a fight. He played well but one whole minute more. It seems all correct until you go into the end game and THERE in 2 secs he DESTROYS the king fortress with a genius sacrifice of the rooks supported by the pawns structure on his left side. The opposite king had nowhere to go and he saw it in monuments 4 or 5 moves before. It is like being a martial artist then you meet the ultimate kungfu master that keeps up with your moves with one hand and then crushes you with a super fast secret unbeatable technique the first mistake you make. He crushes you.

[@CashTeam1]

@@Nulrom I’m no chess expert but if someone “destroys “ your defence you should lose. They were equally match and ended up drawing. Magnus is obviously a better player but in this match he did not destroy his opponent.

[@Nulrom]

​@@CashTeam1he did lose, dude. He ran out of time with the option of sacrificing the queen and losing or doing anything else and getting mated in 2 moves. Magnus was a minute ahead. This IS being crushed.

[@KF1]

Yeah, full clickbait. Magnus was worse but won in time pressure. Still impressive, but considering the title, not what I was looking for

[@imdanielmartinez]

Offering magnus a draw is wild. lol

[@tomphillpotts]

[@contactdavidfair]

Hardly "destroyed" the CK - very misleading caption

[@thevoid5868]

Destroy? Pretty clickbait i would say if that is a regular game and his opponent isnt in time trouble he might have lost this… kinda clickbait

[@mhqa_]

Why would he lose this? He was winning all along. Did you miss the part where Magnus checked with the engine and white was better after the exchange sac?

[@trident7996]

you are talking as if time control is not a part of the game , plus computer analysis gave an advantage to white

[@thevoid5868]

@@trident7996 thats all fine guys - but destroying someone looks completely different. was a normal game where the odds werent in magnus favour - he won all good but that is nowhere near destroying someone

[@Ingenius_]

⁠@@thevoid5868"where the odds werent in Magnus favor" lmao, what? Have you seen the position the game ended in? The only move for black to stop immediate checkmate here is sacrificing your queen for a bishop, everything else loses on the spot. Even if you do that, with the positioning of the knight and the queen after it’s likely mate in a couple moves later. He was definitely crushing him at the end, whether that was due to time trouble or not.

[@nikhildawani2913]

You sound foolish man,just shut up

[@Kreal_n]

Where's the destroy? It was equal until the end..

[@lazydog5065]

Wdym equal? That final position was immensely winning for white.

[@nicovanderwilt7502]

Both of you are right. Black could have done way better in the endgame. Actually it was dead even. But Black got in time trouble and messed up. In the whole game Black actually dominated. Only the end was shakey. My quess is Black used a bot.

[@Kreal_n]

@@lazydog5065 When you name your video "how to crush ... Opening" it is supposed to show real domination over the opponent right after the first few moves. Not winning at the endgame in opponents time scramble

[@jimmdavis8197]

At 14 seconds, how is the "stiff caro-kann" legal? I'm new to chess and cannot find how moving two pawns in the same move is legal. Thanks!

[@Ploeppsel]

that is called a pre move and it only works in only chess. You can tell the computer to make the next move directly after your opponent moved. Since both off them moved so fast it looked like he made 2 pawn moves in one turn but his opponent made a move inbetween those pawn moves

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

Those calculations are insane...

It is not destroying the caro-Kann. It is better playing the middle of the game. Magnus is one of the best player ever (with capablanca, Karpov, Kasparov, Alekhine or Fischer of course). It is not surprising that he plays more creative game that any of his today's opponent. It has nothing to do with the caro-kann.
