Why is he good? Because anyone who beats him must be cheating so he won't lose.
I don't understand how Levy has a fucking Eastern European accent when he grew up in New York.
Levy – very good explanation. You are an ambassador for the game
I like this podcast but I think it's too slow sometimes, get some coffee guys 😅
Magnus has an eidetic/ photographic memory combined with the analytical skills of a computer and then top that off with the finesse of a Super Grand Master.
Isn't magnus gonna get like 80 million for his app. Lol Money
Amazing convo
Short answer: he doesn’t depend on vibrating anal beads. He uses a cock ring.
fu magnus. talk to putin lex
I also play like that, after 5 moves no more database moves! 😉
I like how levy deliberately speaking slow…. that must have been painful 😆
His brain
he is cheating ofc, and he accuses whoever wins against him a cheater :))
Magnus is a Complete Genius
Neo swallowed the right pill.
Outside the system.
Above all, Magnus is creative
I would say it's his ability to be over the age of 30 and still mentally have not matured over 10 years of age. The guy is a narcissist who cant even handle a bad loss without committing a crime. He is weak, he is pathetic, he is maggy waggy
Hans Nieman goat. The only player who beat Carlsen on move 1.
because he doesn't just calculate, he assesses and brainstorms. Weak players think strong players are stronger because they calculate faster, which is dead wrong. Also is wrong that strong players are stronger because they memorize more opening theory.
Lex there is more to chess than opening theory.
Levy is a great guest!
GOTHAM IS WHAT YOU CALL IN A REFINED LANGUAGE : "A NOOB"
Carlsen has an eidetic chess memory, as well as just being a creative genius. It's hard to beat someone with either of those things, he's the greatest at both.
There is always an agreed-upon platform to measure who is the best in a sport. Regardless of monetary compensation. Great point.
Well done Levy!
I like Levy more and Lex less after this video
I hope someday you get Vishy Anand too!!
Lex “hello hans, how are you today?”
Hans “the chess speaks for itself”
Podcast over
so magnus has anal beads in his brain?!
It's incredibly rare to see a champion dominate his sport so much as magnus has. Especially when there's as much competition in the sport as there is.
Vibrating anal bead stock has jumped 1000%
Carlsen looks at the board and sees it in 3D
Is Lex on opiods…ask a Levy the same question after question ignoring the previous answer
Not good enough to beat hans
Mostly because he's a whiner…
Levi is really good at explaining complex parts of the game for the average person. He has the best YouTube channel to learn from.
The reason why Chess's prize pool does not increase, is because you cannot cheat a player without them noticing.
Take online esports for example. FPS games in particular. They are very sophisticated pieces of software with one purpose. And that is, to make you think you lost legitimately.
I think the reason why chess is not as popular as it should be, is because it takes a lot of mental constitution to play just one game. I code 24/7 and that is like writing a math paper for 8h every day, but pales in comparison to just one chess game. One complex chess game can drain you completely. Fascinating really.
Lex looks like a rendered character from a game with excellent graphics.
Magnus: It is better to be human.
The interviewer mention he lost interest of the Olympics. It is just aging you lose interest when you get older, on things you were crazy about. The. Chess world is too amateurish to generate big money. Also fide is corrupt
I think it's his brow.
Lex seems drunk
Jon Jones left the light heavyweight strap to go to heavyweight.
Love the UFC too.
Magnus will make a move that improves his position by .0001% where stock fish saw no real opportunity.
We love Levi! Gotham is our chess translator! Thank you for having him on the podcast!
Hans is better!
I remember one interview of Magnus (I don't remember with who) when asked how he creates a strategy and he said something to the effect of: It's not so much strategy but when a move "doesn't look right" I somehow try to make my position look right. He also said he doesn't know how he does that, he just is able to when something doesn't look right.
This was good…. didnt expect that
So Magnus spots them a couple of dubious moves, just to get past theory into wide open unknown spaces. FischerRandom.
Magnus knows something about how to play that you often see in blitz games. His opponent will go for some time with no progress whatsoever while Magnus runs circles around them. He gets these free times too often for it to be random luck.
His offensive play isn't spectacular. It's so ordinary nobody can believe he will win with it. But give any GM some free moves and see how amazing they suddenly become. It's very Botwinnik-Petrosian chess.
