In a 30-minute discussion Magnus will share his thoughts on strategy and applying lessons from the chess board to real life.

Dr. BoJangles we don’t deserve you
You're too good to us
Thanks dude....
the scary part is most of them didn't realize they got checkmated until Maguns extends his arm for handshake.
RoyalFlush168 they obviously chose under 800s to make him look good
@@Gruesome_j i don t think so
Johnny R you can choose people up to 2000 and still make magnus look good
@@Gruesome_j Although, some of them come close by their age.
@@lmm6665 Vs 2 over 2000 will be hard.. what about 3,4, or 5 players over 2000...
Gotta respect the ginger kid. magnus had five seconds left on the clock but he resigned since he knew magnus won fair and square
At 50:05 the kid knocks his king over and puts it back to the wrong square. Almost like a Maurice Ashley "magic trick" in the park lol
" I Just Kept on Learning"...."I never stopped learning!" Brilliant, humble, and handsome....wonderful.
He's really humble, I noticed. The fame isn't getting to his head.
He is the cockiest guy right up there with sergey karjakin but that's part of thr charm
that's just a gambit
True. Magnus doesnot look proud and egoist and cruel like fisher.. kasporav etc.
He literally talked about calculated bluffs. Were you not paying attention?
True.
He is as what he is.
He doesnt act
The sanest world champion ever
why were the other world champions not sane?
Magnus is so sincere. Not fake gut at all. Awesome!
First of all I love chess, I’ve played tens of thousands of games online and over the board, and I love Magnus’ play and approach to the game.
However, this interview really demonstrates how wrong anyone ever was to think there are profound lessons to be learned from becoming good at chess. It’s an idea that’s persisted for centuries but Magnus’ sweetly honest statements that he just doesn’t know whether it’s even good to sleep well, for instance, shows how he’s got no general insight even though he’s arguably the greatest player who’s ever lived. Being good at chess doesn’t mean you have great and dazzling insights into the human condition, it just means you’re good at chess. It’s still brilliant though! :)
If you spend all your time becoming chess world champion, what other areas of your life are you able to develop? Have any chess grandmasters gone on to do anything noteworthy outside of chess?
I agree. It is not always that one can explain his/her own mind.
@hutch1979music Very good comment. I find I learn very little from hearing him talk, as opposed to watching him play. People who are able to combine their talents for playing with the talent for teaching are very rare indeed. Svidler comes to mind.
A lot of naturally successful people don't really know what they did exactly to get where they are. For them it just comes naturally and the aspects that have played a role in their success run in the backgrounds of their mind. That's why I believe most books on success are by those who didn't know how to get to the top and in that way they learned to tell us what they did.
I would say that the one thing that Carlsen did tell us which people overlooked is he has a deep interest in chess. He wanted to learn everything about chess and he enjoyed every second of it. He's spends everyday thinking about chess on different strategies, all the different theories, what works and what doesn't, how he can win, learning how to get better, playing out all the different scenarios even while laying in bed before falling asleep.
48:12 The announcer talked about how chess can be used to improve cognitive function though. I think there's probably some merit to that. Or is it nothing? Balance is the key to life though of course. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
45:55 LOL the kid changed the pawns position
obviously not on purpose tho
@@paul81491 how was it obviously not on purpose? maybe he just doesn't want to lose
Great guy! World Champion, while being humble and natural.
You just know Toby is going to be telling anyone who will listen that he almost beat the world number 1 until he's an old man
Man, what an annoying background.
It's horible.
Was about to comment on that
I'm getting sea sick real fast
@@LeVezz I said, before looking here in comments, 'I wonder how many people decide this is a horrible background?'
That is why I am reading your comment instead of watching the video!
The guys relentless commentary during the games is really really grinding .
Congratulation Magnus you're so amazing. Though you used to destroy your opponent you have humility to respect them.
"The best computers are simply too strong" well I'd say that Magnus app 16-18yo is quite enough

Great interviewer. A couple awkward moments but he succeeded in getting Magnus to open up a bit.
Magnus is the modern day Capablanca. When they asked Capa how he did it he answered the same way. I dont know. Reshevsky was also gifted and again didnt know how he did it.

Thanks to all parties involved for making this high-quality content so accessible. I started watching with the intent to peruse and skip around, especially when I saw the length of the video. But from the very first minute I was drawn in and couldn't stop watching. Instructional, motivating, awesome.
The Stonewall is a Great Opening . I play it all the time.
" I don't stop learning". "I haven't run out of inspiration".
Great interview, great games, and great commentary
the grandmaster's hair!!!
Talking about readiness, meditation and so and so, the interviewer needs to know, they guy uses chess to get energetic, it is his meditation, and probably he is blessed with the best possible meditation, Winning!
30:35 "Dude, you are not helping!"
Really nice event and very professional conduct by Daniel Rensch
chess genius against weak players. this is allways funny to watch
thank you Magnus for being open hearted an d answering with honesty and truly
Excellent interview all around.
Great interview and simul! And of course, Danny is great moderating
Looked like a great chess event. Chess is on the upswing!
Great Show, Guys!
It's wonderful to see some of my Heroes on here!
Lol I couldn’t stop laughing when he starts playing everyone. Also loved the quote of his at the end, “he was in good position, but it all fell apart when there were no other boards to play” lol
Great watch thanks !
Magnus had a disadvantage because he had to keep fixing the kids mistake of illegal moves. He lost too much time on that. He lost 1 game on time but still really amazing!
Great guy. Humble and very cool.
Magnus would be a very good mechanical engineer due to this ability to visualize the machine and its mechanics.
@1:44 Magnus was not the youngest player to win the World Chess Championship. That honour goes to Garry Kasparov.
His brain's like a computer, he's really blessed to be able to do this. I hope he stays sane though, as usually genius goes hand in hand with insanity. It feels easy for him to do all this, its impressive though.
Very evident that Magnus simply doesnt want to be put in the spot at that period of time.
Nice interview and legitimate questions
Can we get the movelist for the Google engineer? His expertise was really hyped up compared to the rest so I'm interested to see how well he really did.
Excellent interviewer.
Magnus, you are up to your name. Just brilliant
This is chess gold. So inspiring Magnus is truly amazing
Thank you for a interview!
WORLD CHAMPION 2018...WELL DONE MAGNUS
Only just. Held to a drawn match in the classical games.
The epic music when they started to introduce the chess palyers xD
Badasser than wrestlers
Very nice boy.I wish him the best in life.
fantastic questions.
Feel almost the same way playing against another human. You have nobody to blame for you're own mistakes or stupidity when you play chess seriously.
Really a good video, thanks for sharing.
Almost believed you, but Rice goes with everything.
thank you. Magnus plays like a computer without even thinking. very impressive
Danny Rench did a good job
Great interview!
55:19 USCF rated player moves his King into check
Really Interesting talk!
The concept of the computer was inspired by an 18th century chess playing "automaton" known as The Turk. It was what gave Charles Babbage, a mathematician, the idea that a machine could be made to think. He went on to invent the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine.
seen this i think
38:00 but what a line up
nice presentation
mr. rensh
awesome
lots of respect
Thanks
Magnus has acquired the habit of pushing his specs from time to time. Somehow this reminds me of Anand. :) This is, of course, an excellent video
Amazing.
he should try to sholars mate them all
Yeah, he should have done that to the guy from Google. Would be funny to mate him this way :)
Great!
Pretty sure Kasparov would have scorned at the guy moving his pieces with both hands .. not Magnus
59:10 The best questions were from IM Danny Rensch
6 or 7 .. Show us...
boem,, 6 moves needed :D
Being able to focus for a long time! That's what I took away from this one.
Thanks for this :) Always interesting to hear Magnus' thoughts.
The audience poll at the start that he did really does not translate well to TV if you don't show the results.
great video
51:09 weird handshake
😂😂
Hi five? Nah, shake.... he's the event organiser so he's not a stranger, hence the playfulness
24:39 what an artist
He IS absolutely my hero! ;O)
smooth
Lol, I like it when the interviewer joked about Magnus being only 26 and talking about his "younger days" (which was completely complimentary, btw), and Magnus fired back kind of defensive about the fact that he's been a "professional" for 10 years.. Kind of shows his age with that comment. In another 10 years he will hear the same thing and recognize/thank the comment. We've all been there. :) No judgement, just an interesting observation.
I don't think he was being defensive at all, he was just explaining why, as a 26 year old, is talking about "younger days".
Chances are that a majority of the audience don't know too much about high-level chess, and won't know that there are full-time professionals that are 16, or younger.
A lot of sportspeople are lucky to have 10 years as professionals at the highest level, and it makes sense to clarify that he has had a fairly long career already, and experienced significant stylistic development since his teens.
I like how he debunks all these regimen myths...
Also: political scientist Yascha Mounk asks a question around 31:00...
Simplesmente o melhor jogo da minha vida, e é incrível ver o Magnus jogando
Magnus found chess very interesting and was able to concentrate on it for sustained periods of time without that interest waning. That's why he's good. Perhaps he's better gifted than some or has found better ways to think or something but I think the only useful take away is interest plus time on task plus good instruction are the only ways to train yourself to do something well. It may be useful to try things you're not good at - I throw a frisbee quite well right handed but put it in my left and it took me hours to learn to lob it 5 feet with any accuracy to even within a few feet. I'd miss by as far as I was trying to throw it!
Very nice
Good stuff
the background is fking my eyes *-*
Danny is the consummate "host/announcer" and a great Cat !
would love to see rapid tournaments always played with some jogging in between moves. bet nakamura would love that..
The background could cause an epileptic to flip out! Wtf is up with that screen?
Hardly. You’d need to be extremely sensitive to be affected by that screen. And if someone was that sensitive, they wouldn’t be able to go out in public without having their epilepsy triggered.
amazing
Good stuff.
39:32 what kind of human plays damiano defense against magnus? Well he does have to take but.....Knight sac on move 3
focusing fr long time, exacty the same as enstein !
too good
The legend himself
Respect
Very cool. The questions were great. Well prepared interview. But the games... he's playing sub 1000 players: e4 e5 Nf3 f6 Nxe5 fxe5? Qh5+ g6 Qxe5+... easy even for a beginner.
The spectator who asked the 2nd question should be narating a Nat Greo or 30 for 30 documentary his voice is so Good+
that little ginger kid lastet the longest lol
He also had the mindfulness to resign instead of playing out a forced mate. Honestly I think he was the best player there, most the other guys couldn't tell when they were in check halftime, much less know when they were checkmated till they saw Magnus' hand lol.
When an interview asks the audience a question he should indicate what the answer was to the TH-cam audience
i love chess
Omg, he is one of the most sober people I've ever seen, that's awesome
Why are you numero 1 ? I don't know .... ;) Such a great stratege .
nice commentating by danny
