The Cow opening is so advanced Magnus can't even comprehend it.
@@songoku-jx3cbbro it’s a joke opening and everyone knows that so just like allow the fun
🤣😂😆 Great comment.
@@danbrown7994keep studying your joke recognition charts. 😜
@@danbrown7994 The irony of this comment...🤦♂
@@R3dCol0r it was a reply to a guy writing a 3 paragraph essay on the opening not the original comment
I love how the question wasn't even about the Cow Opening, but at the mere mention of it he had to stop to brutally dunk on it
The cow is about content over chess. Magnus says it regularly- he is not a streamer. He is a chess player. To wit- he's also not a fan of the "botez gambit" (which he sometimes prefaces saying that he thinks the botez sisters are great, just their gambit is bad ;)
@@JoshuaFranta Yet he's happy to play the Bong opening?!? The Cow is a fun opening that he himself knows could play against many players without too much of a disadvantage.
@@JoshuaFrantawell of course the botez gambit is bad, isnt that the point?
As far as im aware the botez "gambit" is just sacrificing your queen for nothing
@@scottspeigWell magnus plays those openings to troll his opponents. But here Anna thinks her cow opening is a good opening and takes it seriously 😂😂😂
@@JoshuaFranta wdym he literally plays an opening where he sacrifices his rook lmao he definetely cares about "content" or whatever
Magnus: This is without a doubt the worst opening I've ever heard of.
Anna: But you have heard of it!
Sounds like a dialog from Pirates of Caribbean
@@manasuniyal2897 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Anna Cramling is the definition of fail forward and I love it
@@manasuniyal2897 he he .... now I cannot unhear Johnny Depp saying Annas answer. You have put a worm in my head!
I would have responded, "are there any openings you have developed & named?"
As a farmer i can utterly confirm that a goat doesn't fancy a cow.
Lmaoooo best comment
underrated comment
You mean you can "udderly" confirm that, right? 😅
@@Thund3rstorm you are such a party pooper😂
Maybe The Cow just needed a sexier name. I mean, why???
It is hilarious how simultaneously Anna was overjoyed and saddened that Magnus dissed The Cow.
i tried the cow opening in checkers. wins every time.
Comment of the day :D
Works very well in tennis also!
That's so funny that even Magnus knows what the Cow opening is now! 😆
Just because he thinks it's a stupid opening doesn't mean he'll never use it. We're talking about a man who's played the bong cloud and danced knights around the board with his opponent just for the meme value.
Magnus's inability to effectively play the cow opening is holding him back from true legendary status. 😞
you win the internet today - lol
Says the man who loves to play crazy and abnormal chess openings.
The hypocracy!!
Magnus Carlsen
Tbf its really not. Cow opening is just bad lol @@inoderlulzer5163
but he knows they are absurd; that's the fun of him doing them
But he wins with them
There’s Pain in those giggles:(
Magnus is keeping his cow prep under wraps. Just waiting for the right moment to unleash the moo-sic 🐮
You're the best Anna. We will convince Magnus to reconsider.
when is he streaming next...i can spam shit in chat
Please, create the Cowlsen opening!
I could hear the heart break in your moment of silence. Fight for the Cow, Anna!
Kinda like when my high school crush told my friend that she thought I was a nerd. "So, you're saying she knows who I am!"
A story related to me years ago:
A girl came home from school one day, behaving very oddly, including being rude to her mother. This was most unlike her. Upon cross-examination to find out what was going on, the daughter finally said, "he spoke to me!" She was obviously exhilarated.
From that, her mother deduced she had a crush on some boy she'd been admiring for some time, which explained a lot. So, accepting this, she said, "well, what did he say?"
Her daughter replied, "hi, slob!"
Good for Anna for putting this on even if it is a negative comment on the "Cow." It makes me trust Anna even more (and I'm not even a chess player. I just enjoy watching her play.)
The cow opening is like a soldier on the front line running towards the enemy army!
It's an opening only for warriors!
It takes real bravery to roll with the bovine. They'll all come around eventually.
He knows Tyler1 is coming for him.
That's because Magnus hasn't played against the big tonka himself, Tyler1.
It is therefore clear that Anna will go down in chess history with her Cow Opening.
Look at you Anna you're kicking butt
I love how positive you can be about everything. It's refreshing.
Bro is intimated by caw
The opening of the cow is very defensive, but on the other hand, it is very late in spreading.
Anna, I think you are milking the Cow!
Magnus wants to mince it and make a burger. He just needs to ketchup on the theory, then he would beef in favour. 😂
But he has heard of it!
The way he said: ''It's just Stupid'' as if he knew Anna was watching 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Magnus: the cow opening is just STUPID.
ANNA's body language: /MeltingEmoji
Magnus knows nothing about chess
🤣🤣🤣
A wise man once said, "all I know is that I know nothing".
Compared to all there is to know about chess, Magnus really does know nothing... but we know less lol
Magnus is honest as always 😂
"mooOOoooove!"
I bet he'll play it at some point. He just doesn't want to reveal that it's in his plans...being sneaky! :)
If he does he'll be a huge hypocrite. He best never play it.... ;)
Anna, I think you cow opening was a lot of fun and we need more humour in this fked up world. You are a gem. The tournament where you had the whole row playing it was hilarious. OMO, the guy who gets you for life will be one lucky fella.
The Cow opening is the best marketing move I've seen for self-branding. Bravo for figuring it out on your own! The fact that most don't seem to figure this out, makes it even better!
*tyler1 has entered the chat*
This calls for only one solution... you've got to beat Magnus with the Cow
Don't feel bad. Magnus is just out there giving you content.
When I feel bad I just come watch this video and I for some reason feel a bit better.
The Cow 🐄 Opening is far advanced beyond its age. It is a time less testament to the courageous to go forth and conquer the chess 🌎 world.
The GOAT Magnus: You are rejected.
Ms. Cramling: He noticed me!!
To be fair, the cow opening is always a thing for beginners to intermediate players in blitz, everything is so closely kept together you can’t possibly blunder, which means the opponent likely would. From a guy who has never played blitz
Wow Anna congratulations ur opening has got very far
Magnus is a very highly calculated Offensive chess player, he is so damn good at bringing the pressure and well I am no adequate chess player but the Cow opening is really a highly defensive opening far outside of anything Magnus related strats and vast majority of Pro chess players would consider playing as they know the best ways to win typically require offense over defense. Especially in the field of the top Players out there. It is a very strong/conservative defensive opening, the Cow, at least can be viewed that way, but they all know no matter how strong the defense if allocated correctly strong offensive pressure can and will be applied and majority of times wins the match. The Cow may win few but Magnus wants to win them all. High percentage openings over low percentage, which sorry to say is where the Cow lands.
But plays the Bong opening... Literally move your king forward and back on moves 2 and 3...
@@scottspeig yes aggressive fun and a spit in your opponents face, lol
Magnus:
the Cow is stupid
Tyler1:
I am coming for you
Cow opening is super passive opening. But banned opening can turn game into a super aggressive game!
Tyler1 beats Magnus with CowOpening 2025.
He is afraid of the cow opening, he hopes nobody will use it against him.
Stockfish doesn't even seem to think the Cow is that bad
Stockfish but not to a human its hard to play. It has an easy shaped to play against it's not like a banded gambit which make your opponents nervous to play and if you are +3000 you will crash them in speed chess ....
the thing about magnus is he sometimes plays really crap openings just to keep himself interested, and usuall still wins
At least its confirmed, he knows of it and has prepared a defence against it
Funny thing is, despite people's initial reaction you see people have result with it left and right, instead of it dying an immediate death. That in itself is telling. I'm a noob, but I always liked how you don't box yourself in.
Someone should run Leela Chess Zero always playing Annas cow against Stockfish or another Leela and get some stats
No Christmas card for Magnus this year. One of these days he'll lose to the COW opening, probably not in my lifetime. But Ana, you are in the conversation. Chess Princess
"Watch this, Lisa, you can actually pinpoint the second when her heart rips in half"
Anna slowly gets redder and redder, then goes on to correct Magnus on where he's wrong
Anna did say she'll do some variations on the cow opening in future videos. We need to petition her to name her favorite one the Magnus Cowlsen. Then ask for his response.
Cow opening is also, never played by Anna… So, thanks Magnus for your honesty
Well nobody is perfect. I'm sure Magnus will see the light someday 🐄🐄🐄
I think it is that thing, like when they show pictures of unusual food to Gordon Ramsey, which he hasn't even tried, he just shits on them.
I wouldn't be surprised if Magnus doesn't even know the moves of the cow opening and is just thinking of some other opening.
Anna, keep up your inspiration and creativity on Chess openings! If you know you are right, believe in yourself and the world might see it differently!!!
Anna vs Tyler1
I mean, noone thought we'd be here, yet here we are, so anything's possible, really
["Only Time" by Enya playing in the distance]
You're now on the opening repertoire history. Books will talk about you for centuries.
"This makes no sense"
Usual reaction to Magnus Playstyle.
She is not wrong the full cow is only like -1.6 while loosing a rook on move 2 for a bishop is like -2.6
Best way to convince him will be to beat him using the cow opening 👍
Her hair🥲
What
Magnus slams Anna Cramling, Magnus slams Eric Rosen… two of the sweetest people on chess… does he not like content creators or nice people?
you dont lose the rook. you exchange it for a bishop
That explains the thunderous shattering of glass I heard last weak: it was Anna's heart breaking.
Anna, you should develope a advanced version, called stampede
Damn she seems like she's on the verge of tears
Sad tears or happy tears lmao
@@muhtasimmahin5057 Probably a bit of both.
Anna, what amazing confidence you have. Your reaction to this is just one of the many reasons I watch you. You handled his condescension with grace. You are a real icon for women everywhere who have to deal with attitudes like this. Rock on gurl!
He's in the mind of play it safe and needs to call it stupid to avoid it's risk
5 years from now Magnus Carlson invents the WOC opening, is this the best opening ever(which is essentially the Cow opening but backwards)
The Tahw openning.
It means I did not understand how this openning works but backwards ( unless you just ment that WOC is the name of it)
@@ronflypotato4242 Yeah WOC is the name it is COW backwards. I was saying he is going to come up with the same thing years later and have to name it the WOC opening LOL
Isn't it awful when you have to explain weak puns to your audience?
@@CrowPal it is not a pun I was saying Mangus was going to take the idea and just change to slightly and everyone will be like NOOO WAYYYY a pun is a play on words like..
Talking about a good car brand and saying that car brand has a lot of DRIVE
thats a pun, what I said, was not a pun
isnt it awful when you don't know what a pun is?
Saving the reputation of a Cow Opening is like patching a hole in the Titanic with toilet paper
Magnus is just trying to hide his prep. He knows how dangerous it is.
I feel the cow is great under 2400elo. I really have no idea above that. I play it a lot because you can stay defensive and play slow for the first 10-15 moves. Which I like.
I like the Cow opening. It is only because people don't play other openings professionally that they find the Cow detrimental to a victory in the game. The Cow is strong against some rare openings and that cannot be discounted.
"In order to change Magnus' mind on the Cow, I had to become a GM ... faster than GothamChess"
I came up with an opening called the Dog Opening. You start with D to K9.
I want to see Hikaru beating Magnus with the cow 😂
Looking forward the Cow Opening, Magnus variation...
Yeah Magnus thinks its stupid to play cow but goes on to play 1a4 followed rook by a3 the other move on Titled Tuesdays 😂😂😂😂😢
I like that you invested the cow and when you say the word “move” I think it sounds like Moooove 🐮
All I heard was Magnus Whatshisname underestimating The Cow.
Imagen cow opening vs magnus carlsen gambit
(All both are trolling openings)😂
She was about to cry at a point 😂😂
Someone played that opening against me and were completely dominating me. I won by checkmate.
Anna: "He doesn't like the cow opening but we will make him change his mind." Also Anna: "I never said the Cow opening was a good opening."
I cannot remember reading that he ever invented any opening. Well done for inventing the cow. Everyone knows it's an amazing opening, I have won many times with it. Looking forward to the day when you are a GM.
Reminds me of Pirates of the Carribbean... "You are, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of"... "But you _have_ heard of me!" Good job, Anna!
To paraphrase The Pirates:
-"The Cow opening is the worst opening i've heard of"
-"But you have heard of it"
Awe, that's kind of harsh. Guess I have to go back to the drawing board on my Pepé Le Pew opening...
I see Magnus is aligned with your parents.
My man magnus didnt see the Holy Cow !!
Don't worry, when Tyler1 becomes super grandmaster Magnus will have a different tone.
