If you thought Magnus was just chewing food like an Orange cat, think again. He thought about 4 different opening ideas and 5 end game tactics in that time frame.
The cut to Magnus slowly eating his food is honestly so good. Let the hilarity build up for just long enough while also having some progress as the thumbnail creeps into frame is genius. I'm genuinely impressed to the point where I'm over-analysing the comedic editing of a chess video. Someone save me.
Magnus is so cute. All of them are so cute. Wesley’s positive, love-it-all energy, Maxime the food critic, Alireza being hesitant about every dish, and all the others and their entertainment value. This kind of content is my lifeblood.
this is genuinely one of the funniest videos i've seen in a while, love to see this side of Nepo, the editing is also topnotch, and everyone is just vibing. Hoping for more like these soon
90% of current norwegians haven’t even eaten all of these dishes before, and tbh it makes this video kind of weird when i’m norwegian myself, only thing i’ve ever eaten from all of this is the dessert 😅
@@starvick26 a lot of norwegian traditions come from relatively isolated communities along the coastline, so despite 'short distances' there's a lot of variety, some huge, some minor. Fish featured quite heavily in this video, while many regions focus more on other foods. There's quite large variety in cold spreads (to eat on top of bread), desserts and cookies, there's some variety in 'main christmas meal' but that's more like a few big contenders (lamb sticks, pork ribs or lye fish being the main 3) with some variety in side-dishes. So some norwegians will have eaten almost none of this, but eating a full set of 'christmas traditions' nonetheless, while others eat some of these, or many/all of these.
People always overrate things, to the point that the average rating isn't 5/10 or 2.5/5, but its 7/10. To Magnus 7/10 is a good rating, to others, 7/10 is below average or an insult.
These dishes are not common in Norway at all anymore, most norwegians are quite picky when it comes to food, why that is the reasen I have no clue, but i’m no different, i’m picky and norwegian as well 😅
this is such a peak meme video...kudos to you guys also it was funny like Alireza was the young open one to new food stuffs and MVL goes to old fashion RIGHT way of being French
Wesley showing such genuine respect and thanking them for the food at the end was classy af. Seems a very nice man. Sidenote, can't tell if it's his accent that makes him sound kamp or if he just is😅 not that It matters ofc
Wild how Magnus did not know Gravlaks, it is THE "finer hotel nordic dish" staple that he must have been exposed to thousands of times both when traveling abroad and in Norway.
I think Magnus has lived abit of a "city based" life and had his interests elsewhere then exploring Norwegian cousine and traditions. Alot of Norwegians enjoy these dishes in some form. But we also has alot more xmas food in various forms and it also depends on what region of Norway your'e from. Its a complicated topic xD
Shocked because a lot of these are "hotel breakfast/lunch" staples, prepeared in this exact manner as in this video. Gravlaks is almost mandatory in finer hotels internationally ( I travel a lot). I have met Magnus once during breakfast at a hotel, where there was for sure both Rakfisk and Gravlaks, in Norway. What the hell. I think Magnus mind might be 100% focused on Chess to the degree that any other information is blocked out.
@@a.bastianwiik5592ye I've only ever seen gravlaks as a word on a menu. Never knee what it was or ever tasted it. A lot of these I've never eaten, seen or hears of 😅 It veeeery much depends on where you're from in Norway for sure
Norway is split between fish people and meat people. For fish people meat is something you have in-between all the fish and for meat people fish is something that should have stayed under the surface and never have been bothered because if god intended us to eat fish he would not have hidden them in the stuff that drowns people.
This video is so awesome! It’s nice to see these chess stars doing and talking about something other than chess! Plus I love discovering new foods to try! Bravo! Well done!
So cool that they liked Norwegian Christmas food, but to be Norwegian and not even know what these dishes are is borderline treachery. I've had all of these, of course, and more. They missed a few, like lutefisk (fisk stored in lye), juleskinke (ham), ribbe (pork belly/ribs), medister (spiced pork meatballs), julepølse (sausage), juletorsk (cod), pinnekjøtt (lamb ribs steamed on wood sticks), smultringer (doughnuts cooked in lard) and the other 6 traditional Christmas cookies.
Although all of the dishes they served are Christmas foods, I definitely think they should've served the most common ones like pinnekjøtt, ribbe and lutefisk!
Wesley So should do commentary! I mean, "...than working fur Gukesh" and "Magnus might need a board 2" is the type of humour I want in the chess world!
this food commentating by these grandmaster really is wild and cant be seen anywhere else. so the reason that magnus always come to board late because he was chewing his food really long time. this kind of content is really fun to watch. should do more of this content.
As a person obsessed with chess in childhood and whom fate has brought to Norway, I find the video utterly satisfying to watch on Christmas Eve. I was looking forward to Smalahove
No smalahove? No lutefisk? No pinnekjøtt? No blodpudding? 1. basically a sheep's head cooked whole 2. fish conserved with lye that needs to be watered for days to not poison yourself 3. lamb ribs so salted that they need to be watered for days before being edible 4. spiced blood slowly cooked into a kind of loaf You are welcome
80% of the comedic value of this video is because of the editor, give this man a raise ASAP this was hilarious
Dumb raise comments continue
@@grph1t3z ull get the job next time
Thought the same thing!
And Magnus = the Goat of Scepticism
Yes, because MAGNUS with the big and sad lower lip is trembling for 40 seconds.. And that is basically the jist of it. SAD
They really made us watch Magnus chew food for 50 seconds straight 😂
7:47
Fourteen million, six hundred and five - That's how many chess moves he thought of in his head while chewing
If you thought Magnus was just chewing food like an Orange cat, think again. He thought about 4 different opening ideas and 5 end game tactics in that time frame.
And now we know why he is late for the games so often
Is it ok to chew the food 50 times 😮
Here's the dis--
Nepo: everything is good 50/5
Actually we have kinda similar dishes in Russia, so don't be so surprised
@@МихаилБудылев-г6з Yeah he seemed to imply that everything was pretty familiar but sometimes with different ingredients

That was genius 🙂
Great catch!
Kramnik is a God of Chess. Cracked 2800 at the age of 25 back in 2001. Sad to see him getting clowned like this.
Oh lol I missed that one, thanks!
Levon: Chess players usually eat very fast because they need to rush for the game or prepare.
Magnus chewing one bite for 50 seconds. Perfect editing!
Magnus’s lack of familiarity with his home country’s cuisine is quite amusing.
I don't blame him
Yeah he even said he didnt used to eat traditional christmas dishes probably travelled so much in his life😂
Maybe because Norway is so large so food differ because of that?
> Norway is so large
🤣🤣🤣💀

Not stockfish. Meat from pig that has been boiled with spices and then cooled and pressed.

start the procedure
never seen nepo this happy
Nepo loves everything
So does Wesley hahaha they were both quite excited with the food
Because he only gets potato soup in Russia I guess 🤣🤣
He was hungry, that's why probably xD
Nepo is the person you want at the table when you cook. He’s enjoying the meal so much ❤
7:00 is wild i cant stop laughing
Best part.
Like why did they use such a sensitive microphone lol
Omg the eating noises are killing me

Magnus reminding all of us to take our time and chew our food properly, but forgot the "Always be on time kids" advice
6:33-7:21 Magnus analyzing carefully the position of every atom of the food before giving the evaluation
Apparently, all GMs enjoy Norwegian cuisine -- except for Norwegian GMs.
Wild how Magnus did not know Gravlaks, it is THE "finer hotel nordic dish" staple that he must have been exposed to thousands of times both when traveling abroad and in Norway.

"Norwegian delicacies that we often eat in the Holiday season". Magnus: "What is this??"
I would definitely hang with Levon Aronian. He seems so chill
6:59 magnus calculating a line while eating
Wesley is really just a chill guy that clearly hasn't been fed in days

As a fellow Norwegian, I wish to upvote this comment!
Magnus called gravlaks "marinated salmon". It's literally "buried salmon". It's fermented, not flavoured.
Although all of the dishes they served are Christmas foods, I definitely think they should've served the most common ones like pinnekjøtt, ribbe and lutefisk!
Magnus's favorite traditional food is beer, French fries, crisps, he doesn't know any other 😂
6:02 MVL: Combines very well. I like it!
