@@ChessManiac99If you look at the win rate at the beginning His opponent had more wins against mangnus than magnus had on him. "Destroyed" is a incorrect term in this situation
Vasquez Schroeder’s rating for blitz and rapid is 2582. In this game Carlson outplays him so effortlessly that ‘destroys’ seems reasonable. He is a whole piece up!
@@franciscoespejo767 H7 then h6 when the knight. Checks is available a perpetual I think.but yeah I didn't notice that. Hard for me to see if he would lose with the king in that awkward spot.
If he takes the bishop, it's checkmate in 3. Q forks rook and king, king hides but knight moves into check and queen mates. Only way to stop would be sacrificing queen for knight.
People are missing many things with this video. Carlsen is 3160 in blitz as opposed to his opponent's 2924. Secondly, before this game, Kastor (his opponent) was leading the match by 5 to 4.5, it was a tough match and not an easy win for Carlsen. A better title would have been "Carlsen edges ahead with the Catalan against a strong GM in blitz"
wasn't this titled Tuesday? Its' not like they were playing a 20 game match against each other. That's why Carlsen says, "we are being matched up again'
Lol and you missed the fact that his opponent was not leading in a match at all as this number simply points to the points they accumulated in titled Tuesday so yeah the better title is the current one with ’’destroys’’
It is true and ridiculous that 2900 players are so easy for Magnus to beat. Of course a 2900 FIDE rated tournament player does not exist in human form. Such a player would not be easy for Magnus, who is rated in mid 2800s. But he’s about 3300 in blitz online.
@@ronbirnbaum1968 His official rating was not, but that is because he didn't play much, he didn't play at tournaments or he played played some of them, and in all he played 700+ games in his professional career at chess. That is the reason he wasn't rated as his real strength was, and that is 2950. I read somewhere that at some tough tournament he crushed everyone and that his playing strength was around that. He was just bad, he didn't win against others, he crushed them. Many of them stopped playing after him, like Larsen.
@@Lamcuyp572L I am talking about that Fischer would crush Carlsen if he played today. Fischer was by far the most talented player ever. Carlsen is the best player of his generation, no question about it. But he was lucky because he didn't really have a real challenger throughout his career, the one who would question his concept and understanding of chess. Like Capablanca had Alekhine, Botvinnik had Bronstein and Tal, Karpov had Kasparov, you don't have a player of that calibre along with Carlsen, whose concept of chess is pretty shallow and positivistic. No real creativity in his play. Chess used to be much better in the days of open analysis. In 21.century, chess is totally computerized game, even Carlsen himself admitted that he watched AlphaZero play and picked up some new ideas. So what is the point of chess today? Learning moves from computer? There is no more space for creativity in modern chess. It's all either computer moves or theory. I just don't understand who finances chess and for what cause? Why does someone pay top GMs to play chess? For what?
6:09 if rook takes black's bishop, then knight takes rook and there's a fork with knight D7 which takes back the rook. So why he didn't take that "free" bishop ?
correct but you forgot a detail. When the knight takes back the bishop the night defends the rook so after you fork and take the rook the knight recaptures. Basically you traded down pieces without winning material.
@@ChessManiac99 🤦♂️ the catalan is vs the queens Gambit setup If u play the catalan Vs The Slav Or the Kings indian u cant call it the Catalan Those Are completely different Things
@@mrpizza6503 yeah you can call it the fiancetto against the kid for example but it is still the catalan setup. Also it can be called the catalan when played against the slav
Around 1:30 i guess? You dont want to give up your fianchetto bishop for a pawn you probably cannot hold in the long term, as there are maybe 1.... Bxd4 2.Rd1 c5 3. Nc5 ideas to get the pawn back, leaving you with weak dark squares around your king, also the catalan bishop becomes active as its no longer staring at the b7-c6 pawns if you were to play c5 as black
To be honest "destroys" feels a bit unfair: K_A_S_T_O_R played a very good game.
Man. Magnus sacrified and got to his king and made it look so effortless.
But yeah Kastor is such a strong player. Way stronger than me at least
yes his first 5 moves or so were good
Look at black's knight and bishop, that is a strong gm? 😅😅😅😅

his opponent was fighting very well but seems playing against a senseless machine
When Magnus said "It doesn't make anything", I knew, Magnus watched Boston Mike playing chess.
4:49 why doesn't KASTOR take the bishop? The risk of the passed pawn is too much?
i asked the same question myself
Queen E5 destroys the position, together with the knight and the pawn., No counting the rook.

He’s no match for a few ounces of vibrating plastic placed in the right spot.
😂😂
Magnus is almost invincible when he plays the Catalan as White.
Typical Catalan!
I feel that too!
@4:52 - why not just take the bishop?

4:50 Bishop on c6 is undefending!?
If tye bishop is taken then Qe5+ is very strong i believe
❤❤❤❤
@@ChessManiac99 yeah it's either M3 or they lose a rook I think
If it captured then black should give up the queen for free or he should ready for forced checkmate.

Fischer at his prime was 2950 playing strength, not FIDE rated that much though, but I think Fischer would crush any GM in any era.

Excessive stiffness
At 3:52. Would Bishop G2 to C6 take pawn and put pressure on the rook be a good move? Better one?
I mean, that Kastor guy's pieces weren't even on the best spots, they were on the sides of the board.
6:09 if rook takes black's bishop, then knight takes rook and there's a fork with knight D7 which takes back the rook. So why he didn't take that "free" bishop ?
correct but you forgot a detail. When the knight takes back the bishop the night defends the rook so after you fork and take the rook the knight recaptures. Basically you traded down pieces without winning material.
You are right@@magnusbane9862
Because the knight recaptures the black knight at the end. As @magnusbane9862 Said, you trade down pieces
He sees that within a second but this only wins a pawn but here he won full bishops by defending that square first
if u run that sequence and know how to count u wouldnt asking that question here . but i guess not
Excess of stiffness
On what platform does he stream?
Why black queen didnt take the white bishop at 5:06
After exf7 the attack is winning for Magnus. Analyze with the engine
At 5:49 knight G4 to E5
Anyone have the link for the original video/stream of this game?
Hey can anyone tell me why The Black Resigned ?
Cause White only had 10 seconds left …. he could’ve won
both had low time and Magnus could easily premove the win.
@@ChessManiac99What does that mean. Just he would push pawns to queens in under 10 seconds? I would be too slow
Yeah exactly. 10 seconds is way more than enough to win that position@@TimandRene
Thanks for the answers 🙏
Search ultrabullet chess its 15 sec without extra time.
Where can I watch magnus stream?
I took this clip from an old stream i found on youtube, but try searching magnus on streaming platforms
What hairstyle magnusson is wearing😅
5:04 why didn’t black take the bishop??
The bishop cannot be taken because white's attack is too strong after Qe5+ and exf7. Put the position on the engine fore more analysis if you like
Bro titled Magnus "DESTROYS" for views
A youtube channel is made to attract viewers right?
Btw kastor can give a tripl3 fork but he lost it
He’s looking round
5:05 - why didn't blacks queen take white bishop? Literally hanging. Black takes pawn instead. Someone tell me what I'm missing.
Because after exf7 the attack would be deadly. put the position on the engine and analyse it and you will find many winning variations for white
Low rating detected...
@@KublaiKhan2025what’s your rating champ
IT'S ALL FAKE ENDLESS RETRIBUTION ❤
Honestly playing chess and then seeing your playing magnus must just suck. 😂 Like thank god i aint good enough to get matched with the goat.
Kastor has beeaten Magnus more times than Magnus has beaten him in online Blitz.
I'm new to chess, cheers!
Chilean Kastor ;) 🇨🇱
Good job!)))
Enough with the word "destroy" all the time.
Please forgive me
Where does he stream?
I think he streams on twitch but i am not sure
He was dumb, he could ve declined the gambit and play safely
It look so simple 😮
Lol This isn’t the catalan
This is the Catalan

This opening Is most certainly The Catalan
the Catalan is the g3 queens gambit system. This is most defiantly that
Dammm bro!!!
Kicking ass...
I wonder if Magnus can beat a 2900 GM with the Bongcloud
try watching the magnus carlsen gambit
He did it against Wesley so
2nd
1rst
Magnus assesment is wrong. Why can I not take on d4 when the pawn was hanging?
Which move are you talking about? Can you plz refer to the time in the video
i think it was because of the pin on the queen then magnus would end up winning a piece
