- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2015
- While in NYC for the Play Live Challenge & Chess Works, Magnus did a timed, blind simul in front of thousands of people. There was no order, and Magnus had 1/3 of the time. Watch and see how it all went down.

Next difficulty level Magnus takes a Tequilla shot after every move.
OUTSTANDING MOVE. Can't play if he's dead from alcohol poisoning
Nah hes a viking, this would only buff him
Playing on 3 boards
He usually plays drunk in lichess tournaments
Chessbrah approves
He had more issues with the language barrier than beating his opponents
Ya, having 5 of the 8 letters sound similar with an "-ee" at the end does not help when you're blindfolded.
@@aprophetofrng9821 not sure why they didn’t make use of the phonetic alphabet
@@christiansmith4735 seriously, any soldier, marine or veteran off the streets that knew nothing about chess could have been taught the grid calls and clearly and succinctly announced each move in a quick and concise manner. Or the reverse, teach a random grandmaster the phonetic alphabet.
Even with these issues he still excelled, he really is something.
😂
There was zero language barrier. He speaks better English than half of USA.

HAHAHAHA TOO
I can see Mags mentally adjusting each piece in his mind before the games begin.
That was probably the difficult part! That and having to arrive on time!
He's just built different. I can't imagine doing this with checkers on a single board, nevermind chess with 3 boards. You're a legend my friend.
3? Haha he normally does it in 10 people but without a clock
I like how the opponents lost in three different ways: getting checkmated, resigning, and losing on time.
copy comment you piece of shiz
@Quessalini it's so fun
that was very creative of them!
@@phantomx3902 Good boy! You want a treat?
It's not very nice to resign in this type of exhibition. He should have played on of course, only to give the guy on board 2 a slightly better chance. I once offered a draw in a simul (not blindfolded) and my teammates were not happy with me.
When you are unable to track the 3 boards that are displayed on screen, but Magnus is doing it blindfolded.
I thought it was just me who cant kept track on the moves made on those three boards displayed. This Magnus man is really a monster in chess regardless if he's blindfolded or not.
@@marmieacot3551 can't keep*
But to me.if i try to play it with blindfold..i just see the dark and i can't think anything accept the dark and imaginable the chess board only..if any chess player can play it with blindfold is a extra Gifted.
dude....hate to tell you but the old chess masters back as far as the 1800's...played blind fold chess with up to 40 boards...go look it up if you doubt it
Jade Zee i thought up to 50 chess boards. Go sleep dude for real, too much dreaming
16:50 "It's more relevant that the position is lost." LMAOO that joke was gold and the silent crowd who didn't understand just made it better 🤣
the board 2 player really kept up well, when his time ran out the position is eveluated close to 0. The move he makes after (fxe6) puts magnus .9 up but still really impressive.

“Are you ready for this?”
“I’ve never done this before so I wouldn’t know”
That’s exactly how I’d expect someone extremely intelligent to answer a question
he's also a dry humour kinda guy anyway
This is pretty much impossible with this amount of time
Hes never done it with a time limit. But he has played against 10 people at the same time multiple times before and won on all boards. One time was against 10 of Norways best junior players in 2007, very good players in other words! And he also did it against 10 lawyers from Harvard a couple weeks before a big tournament in 2015.
well it is safe to assume he in indeed ready in relation to a normal human being, which was basically the question- on absolute terms it is indeed impossible to know if you never tried it
when tf did he say that?
I have all 3 boards playing on their own in my face and I have trouble keeping track of what's going on ... And he's playing them blindfolded... Legendary!
One thing is to remember his own pieces, but he also keeps track of all the opponents in addition to that. Just wow.
For anyone that doesn't know, the guy who introduced Magnus is also a Chess grandmaster. I hope that explains the size of his head.
And the lack of eyebrows
Bruh
he's the best player to ever play the game
I was thinking about that, constantly...

I'm as good at chess as that lady at blindfolding
Lol at this little punk and anyone who looks up to him. I don't even play chess but I'd crush this fool. If I studied this game for a year I could do this too, and I could do it better than him.
@@Valkhiya Lul :D
😂 and look at the reply of jay D 😂😂😂😂😂
Jay D temirlan or magnus
Jay D sure
I like that all three games had completely different dynamics and Magnus dominated all three nevertheless. Board 1, he dominated a player who played too passively, resulting in a brutal attack that eventually would result in mate or heavy material loss. Board 2, he played positionally and wound up with unstoppable center pawns. Board 3, he saw a nice tactic to provoke weakness from black (who had played well before that) and then mated the guy.
The fact that he just didn’t do one board but 3 is just simply insane
Imagine two chessmaster playing chess without board and pieces
It's been done before
That’s called blindfolded chess
its called mental chess... thts pretty normal...
that is fucking madlad

@@Knee_Ghast No, bomb has been defuced, Counter-Terrorists win
Yeah..that's why Magnus told him.."that was risky" as soon he has made castle

You know why the board ends at “h” and not any further? Cause then opponents could go “i1”
This guy is the greatest chess player of all time. Bobby was good but this is just insane

Carlsen: Mate in 24 moves
Hahahahahahahahahha
It is practically impossible for me to believe that he and I are of the same species. Beyond impressive
That's the power of the subconscious mind
His memory capacity isnt even human. He is a monster at chess. Im starting to think that he isnt human. He has to be a robot to have this much of a memory capacity
who the black guy or magnus
You see, he can see their moves in a blindfold
@@myguitartwerks7825 3 at a time isn’t even that impressive compared to what others can do, in fact, most international masters can do that. Some people can do tens of blindfold games at once, (Magnus probably could do 10 or so as well) but some can do like 50. Go watch those people.
i can happily remember about three numbers. I can imagine the clarity he must have remembering stuff
The best chess grandmaster ever had. The extraordinary chess brain. Mind-boggling experience to watch his majestic moves in three different games simultaneously and put the opponents in deep thought.

It actually sounded like a genuine compliment. He was telling him that he played pretty well and that he (Carlsen) had a more difficult time with that board.
@@johnjsal a true gentleman.
Board 2 played well. He had counterplay on the Queenside and forced Magnus to abandon his Centre attack. He somehow blundered his b5 pawn, I have to think that’s time pressure because he strikes me as at least a 1600 elo player, though putting his Knight on h5 for the entire game didn’t do himself any favours. Instead of taking the pawn on e5, I thought he had a try with Ng7 and reroute to an outpost on f5. But once the central pawns started rolling it was hard to even have drawing chances. Board 3 just got crushed. Didn’t develop the light squared bishop for so long and allowed the position to open up. Board 1 didn’t play too bad but was just so conservative. H6 was a bad move early after the fianchetto of his bishop and didn’t allow him to castle kingside. But when you create an imbalance with opposite side castles, he has to storm the kingside. He gave Magnus all sorts of time with b4, a4 and a5 without any kingside or Centre counterplay. Overall, I would say only board 2 played a reasonably structured game and tried for counterplay. Good for him not to be intimidated by the world champion!
this is really one of the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life
I had my eyes on all boards and even then i saw magnus take pieces i wasnt aware were even vulnerable its amazing how good he is
I cant remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday
Magnus could the day after that...3 amateur chess players while blindfolded
Me neither

The guy placing Magnus moves could say he beat three people in a row
Big brain time
@The Deathless You have to play rated tournaments, to become a GM it takes years and years of hard work. It’s just like a person with PhD in chess.
I think he's a GM so he's probably beaten more than three in simultaneous exibihitions
@The Deathless Only 3% of players became Great Masters. you can become masters but to be Great Masters you have to be INSANELY TALENTED

I can play blindfolded to 3 people too
winning is another question though
i can't win even by staring at it for 2 hours straight.

Hard to wrap my mind around what I have just seen. The memorization and focus is incredible. I am inspired to try one blindfold game 😊
10:51 board 1 is the most passive position I have ever seen in my entire life
This is crazy... I cant believe he was able to memorize all pieces on all boards like that. Probably the most impressive thing Ive ever seen. Its challenging enough to be blindfolded for one game.
also memorized opponent's
really ?? have you followed the achievements of the old grand masters? they played many more opponents simultaneously. also blindfolded.
Forget about pieces, how do you hold 64 squares in your head? It is impossible. Try imagining a chess board with 5 pieces placed all over the board and ask yourself which squares which piece controls and how can one piece make a reroute without being captured. Everyone seems to talk about memory and stuff when it comes to blindolf chess but how do you hold the chess board in your mind in the first place?
It's hard enough to play chess un blindfolded
Welp if thats impressive he did it vs 10 people
