Imagine working nonstop for your entire life to perfect this incredibly complex game. Tens of thousands of hours. Scholastic tournaments. Books. Lessons. Staring at endgames and tactics puzzles until you fall asleep. Learning dozens of openings out to ten or fifteen moves and constantly updating your theory. You progress to the point where you are stronger than over 99% of anyone who ever picked up a pawn. Then Magnus gives you eight moves and still beats you while drinking and listening to music. I know bullet and classical aren't the same thing, but this is an absolutely mind-blowing display of how good Magnus is.
@Schism Circle no, grandmasters recognize similar positions from previous matches and games they've played so therefore they don't have to calculate every single line because they've seen the position before.
Or be like me and just read the rule book along with how the pieces move and trounce everybody based on that knowledge alone. Theory is overrated and intuition is completely useless when one has knowledge of pure logic. Chess is just like tic-tac-toe to me. Just make the right move.
Magnus joking around with ridiculous troll openings in several games and still wins the tournament over the likes of Andrew Tang who's one of the best online bullet players in the world. Gives his 2800-rated GM opponent 6 free moves and he's winning by move 20. Just unreal.
@@babyshoesforsale.neverused9440 nykter is a perfectly suitable word to use for sober from alcohol, but with the meaning of permanently/semi-permanently sober, like "clean" would be for drugs. Edru is more used as a current status, not past or future.
This is just a personal preference; it is easier on my eyes. I like that you too are using the dark backgroud on lichess. Keep it up the great chess content, man :). I have told will tell everyone your my chess mentor.
Almost all of the actual strategy and tactics at such a level of play flies over my head, but watching these videos and hearing you talk about what's happening with this much care for the game makes me want to keep learning and improving!
Actually, this was quite instructive. If nothing else, it demonstrated how most of the top GM's rely so heavily on opening lines and theory. I was amazed at how Carlsens "knight shuffle" completely flummoxed so many GM's. How is it possible to give a grandmaster 6 free moves at the start of the game, and still win ? So, in the final analysis, the question needs to be asked, that in the modern game, is memory often more important than tactical awareness ? If you had the memory capacity to remember millions of positional solutions, then theoretically, you wouldn't even have to know the rules of chess at all to win. So often in tournaments today, we see top players look away from the board, stare at the sky, and then make a move. We all know what's going on. Rats in a maze. As long as the maze stays more or less the same, the rats learn the maze. But when a new maze is introduced, only the genuinely smart rats find their way out !
Magnus HAD TO HAVE thoroughly enjoyed that. To go into a tournament with mostly other masters and play ridiculous openings and do so well had to have been thrilling.
Can someone explain to me how they're moving so fast in that game that ended around 13:00??? Like I get they can pre-move and all but geeeez it's still insanely fast. Are they on computer or tablets using both hands or what?
I love watching Daniel Naroditsky aka RebeccaHarris work on Magnus Carlsen. He is a very sharp GM and he gives Magnus a workout. I've seem him adopt Magnus a few times on lichess.
As long as your opponent has anything besides the king on the board, it is theoretically possible to checkmate them with only the king and a minor piece (although it can usually not be forced). This is, because that extra piece can blockade the kings escape route and thus, checkmate in the corner becomes possible.
The best part about the first penguin game is not only did he play the crazy opening but Carlsen didn't even use his A1 rook the entire game and still smacked penguin around!!
Carlsen on stream during this: "I play so much better when I'm bullshitting.". It also probably helps distract his apponents doing weird things to screw up their normal play, and let's their guard down.
Artwork as excellent as always. It's funny, is Magnus really preparing this and becoming more and more a emcee or is it just Jerry's presentation? Maybe both… Somehow it looks like a golden thread that there is always a new hook by circus Carlsenini.

"Who's that guy? I don't know, some grandmaster. Let's give him 6 moves in a row".
@Schism Circle yea there's no way your beating a gm like that though
Schism Circle you beat GMs without ever studied theory? Yea right

I love Carlsen because of stuff like this he does. People call him arrogant but I think he just enjoys himself.
This is why I love Carlsen. The game is fun again! He is the champion that chess deserves.
They told me to study carlsens games. Look at me learning strong openings
LOL

Magnus feeling real confident after crushing Caruana at WCC
Not sure how drawing every classical game counts as "crushing." Winning in tie breaks is as narrow a win as it gets.
Nykter means sober in norwegian.
Nykter means more sober from drugs. The Norwegian word for sober(alcohol) is edru.
@@babyshoesforsale.neverused9440 nykter is a perfectly suitable word to use for sober from alcohol, but with the meaning of permanently/semi-permanently sober, like "clean" would be for drugs.
Edru is more used as a current status, not past or future.
@@Whiskypapa Let's agree to disagree:)
@@babyshoesforsale.neverused9440 You're wrong tho :p
there is no way this kid drinks heavily or smokes weed anyway. Probably a few drinks from times to times in social setting and whatnot, but that's all
Jerry would be able to draw all this games
Against alphazero in classical
Lol
I like that this has become a new running gag
I love that the world championship has created this new meme.
lol
Dr. Soberstien? Nykter means sober in Swedish and Norwegian and Swedish are close in terms of pronunciation.
@@coosoorlog Cool to know! I love learning about language and culture
Soberstoned.
Magnus has previously used a name Dr Drunkenstein
@@ARedGinger Ah yes! This makes sense. He was drunk. Now he's sober!
@@jfumusic1 Crushed it while drunk, almost lost while sober... Seems odd to me
Looks like Magnus really loves the si-silly-an openings
this DrNykterstein guy is actually pretty good! If he works some on his openings and such we might have a future world champion?
You’re drunk and High at the same time hahaha
Nykterstein vs Drunkenstein incoming
Gotta love how Magnus is so good that he just styles on other GMs with knight shuffles and mirror king/queen swapping.
carlsen playing the transvestite opening my life is complete
So can we all vote to name that opening “Magnus’s Triangle”?
"Transvestite Opening" copied from the comment below.
It's a Bongcloud variation, a Norwegian tradition
@@derais_music I think I heard something about one of these Bongcloud variations being called "Improved Bongcloud, Hotbox Variation" 😂

Possibly one of your best commentaries. Can we get more of these? Ive seen them all twice or more. Great vids

Very well put! Would love to see this play in real tournament. (or at least see someone test it).
Thanks for the upload alphajerry
thumbnail on point as always
Loved when he charged up to f3 with his king to inspire his pieces with a very short speech.
What a treat! Thank you as always, Jerry. Love you work
11:30 Qxg5+ would've been a nice follow-up to a very strong sequence of opening moves.
Carlson is just taking them out of thir comfort zone with some surrealism.
Magnus HAD TO HAVE thoroughly enjoyed that. To go into a tournament with mostly other masters and play ridiculous openings and do so well had to have been thrilling.
At 1:05:13, couldn't he pick up the exchange with Nb6?
why nakamura isnt playing titled arena?
18:35 best game ever
Please add "ever"
@@ragilmalik done (:
@@BattleFieldGalaxy nice 😂😂😂 thanks man
Why wizard in 35:00 didn’t do Bf4?? Isn’t it check and win the queen?
17:43 Was there something wrong with the Nf6 fork on move 34? I guess probably Re5 would be the counterattack...
Sneaky Bishop on the rim - takes Knight.
Jerry! Thanks for this! I really enjoy all your content!
Rebecca Harris bongclouding Magnus in response to his king queen swap was fantastic
The only commentary worth waiting two days for. 😁
Can someone explain to me how they're moving so fast in that game that ended around 13:00??? Like I get they can pre-move and all but geeeez it's still insanely fast. Are they on computer or tablets using both hands or what?
they have insanely quick mouse clicks
1:15:42 Please someone explain to me why Nh5+ !??
True Entertainment! We should all try the Queen King switch variation against 2800s.
13:00 I watched Carlsens stream live, and he mouse slipped and screamed out loud.
Jerry when are you going to post videos of you playing?
Thank you for sharing this video Jerry.
I love watching Daniel Naroditsky aka RebeccaHarris work on Magnus Carlsen. He is a very sharp GM and he gives Magnus a workout. I've seem him adopt Magnus a few times on lichess.
Jerry switched to a black background damn, 2018 ending on a good note.
He's really playing for the fans in this arena. he knows he owes his fans a bit of fireworks after the world championship !
Thanks @ChessNetwork I enjoyed it.
I love these. Keep em coming.
I just noticed how sublime your arrow making is
Wow Jerry ! You're predicting so many good moves. You must be IM strength!
Anyone got the link to penguins feed? It's always exciting to watch chess with Jerry.
Oh man!! You born for giving Chess commentary... love it😘
Don't kissy face another man.

What does the wing next to the player's name mean?
Jerry have you ever played Grand Chess (with “Chancellor” = N+R, “General” = N+B)?
Love Jerry's commentary - keep it up.
13:14 come on play a real opening now
*Nc3*
ok...it's better than the other ones...
*goes back with the knights*
ahsudhasduhasduhasduahsduh
Fisher used to play like this. Just random moves to get his opponents out of book. You don't beat Carlsen on having to think for yourself.
I like at 5:30 : Bishops are bees
Considering knights are horses and rooks are pigs, I really like your interpretation of these pieces
Hi Jerry, what mic are you using?
The first couple of openings were the fabled bongcloud opening, invented by Grand Master Hikaru Nakamura.
I would love to see you play in a few of these games!
I don't understand why in the last game, white won that? there's no possible way for white to win with just a king and knight?
As long as your opponent has anything besides the king on the board, it is theoretically possible to checkmate them with only the king and a minor piece (although it can usually not be forced). This is, because that extra piece can blockade the kings escape route and thus, checkmate in the corner becomes possible.
@@IschmarVI interesting. Thank you!
How can they play so fast ? I can barely see the pieces moving... amazing
Jerry is a lovely dinosaur
yeah, i was waiting for this, thank u jerry!
Anyone looking for the bong cloud game, 31:32
Hey jerry could you do a chess analysis on the TCEC season 14 games?? That would be amazing.

Carlsen being a cheeky boi today.
What an era to be a chess fan.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
Just noticed this, but the outro music is c'mon c'mon c'mon by Switchfoot
Carlsen just does not give a single care in the world. The Queen/King switcheroos had me ROLLING
That oppening increasesd my ranking by 100 points. No body had any clue what happening its awesome
Watched on another channel since your upload took some time, even though I prefer to watch with your insights.
I truly love your channel!

Jerry's having so much fun with this
'As long as the pawn is about you are going to one day promote to a knight and I'm going to weave a mate'
Anyone know who is "wizard98"??
How come your lichess looks so clean and updated?
How does yours look like?
The thumbnail is golden 10/10

Don’t count your penguins before they’re hatched.
Why does Rebecca always kick Carlsen's ass?
yea. why he struggles for a draw
Maybe we're just underestimating how good Daniel will be in the future.
You are the Bob ross of chess
57:09 Jerry pointing out a knight fork on e5 with Nxe5+. Problem is: it's a white knight taking a white pawn! :)

Opperwezen. Forgot the players name, but he is definitely playing on GM level.
I see, Carsen is playing sober tonight. Scary
