Carlsen is so refreshingly honest. Great stuff, thank you both!
@@srt-fw8nh that, or a spot of Aspergers. Either way it makes for great interviews.
@@baoboumusic I assume you are an idiot, my life always turns out better with this assumption
@@skdkskdk it took me a while to get what you were doing, but now I remember that was a direct quote from Carlsen. Next time maybe include some quotation marks ;)
This is one thing about the Chess world at the moment, the top level players and those just below the top level also, seem to be quite accessible to other players and fans.
With interviews like this , the personal streams from various titled players, those banter blitz type things, where anyone can get a chance at the top players.
Coverage of tournament from various websites. I 'm sure there are other things that I've missed.
Its a good time to be following and playing chess at the moment
Yes we are lucky
It's simply fantastic. Chess24 is for chess what Brazzers is for porn.
@Viki M Why are you here then?
@Viki M I'd be upset too if I was a guy named Viki.
Viki M Are you intelligent enough to understand what the game is about or just one of life’s losers?
"My opponent is an idiot until proven otherwise". - Magnus Carlsen.
I love that approach since I do it the same way.
I also agree with that. If you have to much respect you will play scared and thats never a good thing!
Magnus doesn't know English that well, and has a hard time expressing himself 100% in English, which is why he uses such phrases. I would not read too much into it. Very happy Magnus is getting back to being the best player in chess history. It's good for chess.
@@raylopez99 "doesn't know English all that well"?? He speaks better English than many native English speakers and is more or less fluent in English.
@@raylopez99 its seem you don't know Magnus really well. He has very vast english vocabulary sometimes even better than native speaker. You just made that assumption because you thougt his comment was not appropriate to say. But its true, and nothing wrong with that. That is the correct approach for playing chess.
did you seen yesterday Lichess titled arena?... he is monster
More banter blitz with Magnus!
Yeah come back!
Jan seems to need sun glasses -.-
MC's approach , how he sizes things up , his view point is wonderful , refreshing. May the Chess gods bless his champs heart.
OH MY LORD @50:37 "Svidler allowed you to checkmate him on the board, do you appreciate that?" Magnus without even pausing, activates thuglife.exe and responds"No." Hahahahah go Magnus! Such a stellar competitor and very entertaining as well :p the man is a legend
I agree, it was an unnecessary piece of schmoozing. Carlsen is intelligent enough to see through that. It also seems contrived since Magnus may have business interests in chess24 of which Svidler is a director.
Boys, boys Svidler was having just a bit of fun with his obvious loss and Magnus' mini-masterpiece. Magnus clearly didn't mind as he did smile at the antics...though as he doesn't mince words, he was honest: it wouldn't be his style if in Svidler's shoes...they're all basically friends after the battle's over...thought it was great.
@@mwangikimani3970 Come on, chess is for the spectators. We enjoy games played out if it can be done quickly.
Svidler wasn't going in expecting to win so he wasn't so cut up about losing as Magnus would have been in the same situation. Essentially he was saying he'd rage quit before getting mated.
46:13 The word you are looking for is "smooth"
You compare Magnus against Bobby Fischer in terms of his attitude about himself and others, and Magnus is so refreshingly approachable, modest, and down to earth. Thank you, Magnus, for not being a primadonna.
It seems to me Magnus has more than anybody, transformed chess into a sport of the highest caliber: Creativity, artistry, endurance. Thanks and congratulations, Magnus Carlsen.
Marc James Levesque Hikaru is more available
chess is not a sport
@@damned1313 And a Volvo is more available than a Rolls royce..
The Giri trolling is just hilarious. Love their silly online feuds 😂
I think they need to raise the stakes and make it more Hollywood/WWE.
Some smirk on the interviewer
The first time i have seen "the champion" is so revealing about what was he thinking about the games...so...that means "if you push hard enough when the time comes you got the right answers"
Magnus has a lot of respect for fabi
Of course, he's the biggest threat to his crown
As he should, the Italian Stallion is clearly the closest #2
because fabi is no idiot, I guess :)
3:48 my favorite dubious 😋😋
Magnus is just -- GREAT! Good thing it's just chess, or we'd be literally bowing, lol. Thx Jan great interview.
Ps. Interesting that Jordan "unleashed" Magnus on this streak, 2 of -- or 3 including yourself Jan -- my absolute most favorite chess players ever! Thx again.
The stronger magnus of all time is now... ... he s a machine ... probably 2900 soon
He always has been. This is nothing new lol. Actually I believe the magnus of 5-6 yrs ago is the best magnus of all time
DEAN PAULO VIANA OLIVEIRA wait, let me see if I understand you correctly-
You are arguing that a given tournament performance rating is more relevant than playing games over a large timespan of years? So, hypothetically ,someone can have a single flawless tournament going 12-0 with a 3000 performance, and then play terribly the rest of the year...and according to you that would equate to being considered the strongest ever? Bravo. Brilliant argument sir.
And ‘gg’? You seem quite confused. This not a chess game. This is a discussion within the comments section.
this was to be expected when he became a GM at 13
Hey magnus congrats on grenke tournament!
Thank you
Grischuk has been always my favorite player but now I am in doubt
Alok Kumar They’re both likable and good players :)
He’s gonna make it the whole video without dissing Giri? ... Just under the wire!
56:15 he's trying to hold his laugh
Anyone noticed in this particular interview Magnus mentioned Garry many times? like he was thinking in the actual games what Garry would play in that situation/how he could activate his bishop etc etc...
I believe it is the first time we see Magnus saying that.. what do you think guys?
Also.. thanks Jan and chess24 for the awesome content! absolutely loving it!
Agree - I can't recall hearing him referring so directly to Kasparov as an influence before, not only in a general sense, but also quite concretely, in terms of playing style or even specific themes or move sequences.
@@eyolfos Exactly.. and to be honest I am not sure but I feel like it is kind of "revived" (if that's the word) appreciation for Garry's game.. maybe because he was missing some chances here and there (mostly tactical K.Os)
@Anon • you are absolutely right.. but it is the first time I see him trying to see positions from Garry's perspective.. maybe I am reading too much into it xD
Very few chess players in history had a playing strength comparable to Carlsen, Gary is one of them.
56:00 Interesting... When Ding had his 100 game not losing streak how many of those games were wins?
2875 booyah!!
Hmm.How did you guess the 2875?I thought that ratings came on 1th may...
The official ratings come start of every month, but 2700chess.com shows live ratings day by day.@@Stefan0v1
When is the start of this next rapid tour?
8th May Cote de ivory
His performance at the least tournament was just INSANE.
yes this is incredible. the other superGMs of the tournament looked like patzers
When you reach the top level in any craft, you reach the level where you do it for fun and consider your opponents idiots from the start. So happy to get to see Magnus’ vibe and humble but confident thought processes.
54:42 nice mic glitch :D
Magnus.. Awesome and humble as always
Indeed
@@roydondsa a bit of a straight shooter as well
Most likely the best player of all time
is the best
Compared to Kasparov????
@@tonyannicelli9365 Compared to Fischer????
@@tonyannicelli9365 It is difficult to compare from different eras but we know that modern games are of higher complexities and accuracy. So I cannot comment on talent but on performance.
When is the next tournament Magnus Plays?
He will play the africa one, but its not classic
@@thefranciscomosimann, Do you happen to know the next classic?
today - Lichess Titled Arena
Michel Willems Norway Chess in june, I think
@@michelwillems50 i think the next classical is norway in june
Jan, the next time you have Magnus on the line, please ask him what his thoughts are on AI playing chess. Does he use AI as a tool for practice? Are there any strategic concepts to be learned from AI? As a poker player, I use AI when studying that game. I would love to hear his and your thoughts on the subject. Thanks for all the great stuff you deliver! Prost!
See 56:45. AlphaZero is AI in case you didn't know.
@@Ulven89 Thank you, sir. I did know about AZ buy honestly I didn't see the whole clip. Thanks!
Please do more Banter Blitz, Magnus. You're a great teacher.
Carlsen "Never say die attitude”
Jan got a bit of lemon juice fall on his eye.
A huevo quiere saber de donde aprendió a jugar ajedrez. No se da cuenta de que él es el elegido de Dios para ser el mejor jugador de ajedrez de nuestra era.
Does Jan have a different outfit? - The hard knocks of being a GM as a profession I guess.. Lol ❤🔥🔥
Jan’s face is cracking me up.
My favourite chess player!!!!!!!!!!!!
the checkmate in the carlsen -svidler game is insane. svidler is a 2750 elo superGM and he is checkmated in 33 moves. wtf !!
The game was over many moves before that, Svidler was being generous giving Magnus the opportunity to checkmate.
There wont be a better human player than Magnus Carlsen for the next fifty years.
A long, long time ago, when I was 14. A grandmaster...Before I became a Chess God.
if carlsen were my math teacher . maths could be an interesting subject.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets pissed during games sometimes.
magnus the GOAT of chess
Or in Greek: μεγιστάνας την κατσίκα του σκάκι ;-)
“My default thought process is my opponent is an idiot until proven otherwise. I’ve always played my best when I underestimate my opponents - it’s much better than overestimating them. Always going for what I believe in and not suspecting that my opponent has set a trap for me seems to be a good approach.”
go magnus.
Magnus‘ outfit looks like thor
Vincenzo Fabozzi Thor on a day off.
Always hope for someone that questions his crown seriously up there otherwise it is too boring see him win forever .
I'm curious what the situation is in about ten years. Then Carlsen is 38, and the Firouzja - Abdusattorov - Sarin - Pragg - Gukesh - Keymer generation will be 23-25. Maybe one of them will eventually take the crown.
Other players will study his games and will get closer to his level. So all in all Carlsen will only increase the playing strength of the field. Imo its not boring to see him win all these games against super gm's. Its good for chess that Carlsen shows that its still possible to surprise and win against super gm's. Maybe other player will try to play for the win more often now too. Its better than seeing tons of draws when everybody has roughly the same level.
I think Carlsen is capable of outlasting Garry. But in the meantime, I want to see Caruana steal it from him a couple of times so we can have a long Carlsen-Caruana rivalry. Chess always needs that 1v1 drama.
thats why i love magnus, a humble world champ, if he was american, you will see, gold chains, mtv crib house, cars, high fashion clothes...etc hype all hype...long live magnus
el che That is not an attribute of Americans but a social class. Get over yourself douche bag
Bobby Fischer never wore gold chains
@@tomscott904 the truth hurts you dumb tv slave
@@niqwalshensemble9164 thats why he moved to Iceland, he understood how rotten,fake and media slave the american society is
@@tomscott904 ok pc warrior, come say those words to my face, you dont dare, pussy chicken
Carlsen is the best.
Jan is a typical forever sad-mad person. 😂
WCMC on world no. 2... 'an idiot until proven otherwise'...ouch
hi Jan, it is amazing the way you built rapport with the world champion but please (I'm a lover ok?) don't forget to make interesting questions!!! Ok like,, what do you think chess and life has in common? or, Could Tal guess some moves that are currently impossible to compute for modern engines? and a bit more about A.I. and that crap...
Jan is asking Carlsen about Artemiev as a challenger? Artemiev is 21yrs old and 2750 (very respectable but not world champion class). Carlsen was 2815 at the age of of 20yrs 8months.
Carlsen was 2826 at the age of 19
Yeah and in some years when Magnus is still world champion artemiev may be a reasonab!e challenger.....artemiev is a monster
@@srt-fw8nh I am scared to say that just look at esipenko, alireza, Wei yi, dubov, Giri, praggn
3000 !!!!
GOD of chessssssssssssss magnus carlsen
This guy is a little bit fucking strong. He is going to crush it at the Ivory Coast GCT!!! Just crush it!
Ya lo dijo. Anish es mejor que Artemiev.
Why do they target Anish Giri all the time ?
Because Giri dishes it out as much if not more
They don't.
just banter
They are actually quite friendly with each other. Magnus is jost joking
@@ciprianchirilov1039 Anish trolled Magnus couple years ago on twitter (that Carlsen is afraid of challengers in challenger tournament, that Kramnik understands chess better then all and so on) and Magnus responded to Giri that he doesnt afraid of him at all and he (Giri) should win at least one tournament and then other players can consider taking him seriously. So as I understand they are not friends 100%. They just competitors on top tournaments and shake hands during the chess game as we all do in otb chess.
Talking about winning with black im such a matter of fact way. Scary Carlsen.
12:55 gay
magnus got a scare playing caruana..who he COULD NOT BEAT.....and realized his title was at stake unless he stopped being so lazy......that is why he is playing this well..he obviously has been spending lots of time getting his game together...for fear of losing his title.
simple as that
What world you live in? That wasn't the tittle shot, just another tournament round. And afaik, last year Caruana had his chance to win the world tittle, where he failed to win a single game after they had played 15 games in a row. "simple as that"
So youre telling me fabi couldnt win a single game in the world champion ship against a lazy magnus carlsen who wasnt conpletely trying?
@@micky6633 Yes sir, you got it right!
Tal the best
Kasparov performes 3008 elo just before quit, btw Magnus is nowadays
Two weak two slow
interesting
Magnus "genius" Carlsen. Look up at 32:00
I liked how around 33:10 Jan asks about the Adams game, Carlsen looks in the mental database for 2 seconds, and remembers a 12 year old game. D*MN.

Short answer magnus give us the short answer
Fiuuuu
Umm... Uhh...
Who is here after carlsen won norway chess 2019 xd
Gus sucks with his question. He misses the opportunity to ask good questions
Alex, I totally disagree ... , many questions show Gus's serious preparation ...
I do not envy his life. Seems endlessly frustrated, must be an exhausting career
Are you delusional ? The man reached the highest title in a respectful field and enjoys every second of it.
Odd statement Tom Scott
This is what Carlsen's life looks like - totally miserable and exhausting: www.periscope.tv/lichessorg/1rmxPewpywDKN (Lichess Titled Arena)
I dont know Magnus Carlsen sounds like a good pornstar name.
Jan is the less motivated interviewer ever
:D
only jan who know how to talk to magnus properly
@@kasurusak5168 Exactly, Jan makes Magnus talk, thats whats matters. He doesn't need to show how smart he is himself, his interviews are just unexited and relaxed, and always respectful - great.
He seems really tired, but he's a really good interviewer imo. I think the main thing is that he asks questions that magnus likes - reasonable and well thought-out *chess* questions.
He's not unmotivated, he's just chilled. Jan interviewing Magnus is the perfect example of how you gotta be to get women, and Magnus happen to be that hot girl who gets bored if you are too nice to her. I guess this went well.
