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

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
@@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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
@@callmetanishq the first board probably takes more effort though. The guy was playing completely random for most part of the game, it probably takes more effort to memorize the position and lines without theory.
After he said that you can see him afterwards looking around smiling waiting for the crowd to start laughing but then it never came and he went back to concentrating xD
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!
Im watching this at my bathroom and can't remember what I need it to do. So, I'll finish the video sitting on my toilet sit.....and go back to bed😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
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!
20:05 is just so stunning how he is blindfolded remembers all 3 Boards in his Head and also cracking Jokes on Stage about how his opponent is Check mate on next move :D
They made this as difficult for Magnus as possible. Too much stuttering. Mentioning a board, and then correcting themselves as they miaspoke.

Yeah these guys really are unbelievable. It's not uncommon for a game of 2 grandmasters to resign 3 or 4 moves away from mate because they both know it's coming. Without a word they'll just shake hands and stand up leaving everyone else confused...
This is a forced mate sequence to be fair. Unless I missed something black only had one move. Not taking away from the fact that Magnus is incredibly skilled haha
people often say that about famous people. It makes me cringe because it is poor preparation for a speech. could also be because of nerves. still ok overall though but its an area a lot of public speakers need to improve on imo.

qwertyqwery5511 he is expecting the laughs of the audience...his reaction after realizing the silence couple of moments after is pretty funny though haha
You have a crush on him because you want to be with a "talented" wealthy popular (positively popular) person, so that any positive gesture he does is a positive sign for you
That is incredible. In my prime I could play ONE game blind, against another player also without a board. It actually isn't too bad when you are 20 and have been playing all your life. But three boards? And he made a different opening on each one (I assume to challenge himself.) At the speed they were playing, I barely could keep track of the games when they were showing them on the screen. Magnus truly is a wonder.
I also struggled keeping up in the beginning because it was messy. Plays on Board 1&2 then board 1 replies without doing board 3 as I had expected. Mid and end game was easier than the beginning because they started doing rotational which they should have done in the beginning.
Honestly, the dude in the middle played VERY well. Obviously lost on time, but otherwise is dead even with Magnus when the clock ran out. That's pretty amazing.
Man, what a huge compliment he gave board 2 at the end while shaking their hands. If he just had more time he probably could have held on a bit longer.
Yeah his position was hopeless. The only real move he had Kc8, because if he try and block with the rook, Magnus will take with the bishop and blacks rook is pinned from retaking, while magnus bishop is defended so he cannot retake with the king. But even after Kc8 Magnus will trade Queens and then win the Knight with Rxd6

6:56 This still blows my mind. Magnus didn't tell him to play c4 on board 2, "board 3 c4." And yet he somehow either figured out where his pawn was and played with no problem, or in his head he had already played the move and just got lucky. It's just a pawn, but it did allow the recapture with the pawn.
I figure he must have thought that is what was played as his opponent moved (so he must have moved/missed a turn) and from his move he must have figured out it was a queen's gambit?
@@emilsadykhov123 nah it makes zero sense for it to be scripted as obviously Magnus is incredibly skilled either way and if it were to potentially leak that he cheated in a mere exhibition match or staged in any way that would look awful for him.

They were about level until 23:35 when Magnus was well in the lead (+2,3) but again a bad move by Magnus at the last move got them back on level terms. Could have been a good finish had they played on.
16:50 "It's more relevant that the position is lost." Genius.
rafael709 can someone explain?
@@TheElloatmatt Magnus was referring to Maurice Ashley stating the time left for black on board 3. In other words, "I don't need to know how much time board 3 has left, he's already losing".
It was funny that he seemed so ashamed when no one laughed
@@kynanyan8223 ikr? It's surprising that nobody in the room appreciated that brilliant nugget of dry humor trash-talk.
@@kynanyan8223 I know he had such a visceral and physical reaction, putting his head down and the tone of his voice changing. Maybe people didn't understand him, because I didn't even after replaying several times.
20:07 “ mate with the next move “.! he’s ridiculously insane !!
Yeah these guys really are unbelievable. It's not uncommon for a game of 2 grandmasters to resign 3 or 4 moves away from mate because they both know it's coming. Without a word they'll just shake hands and stand up leaving everyone else confused...
@@soundoholic2490 very well explained!
This is a forced mate sequence to be fair. Unless I missed something black only had one move. Not taking away from the fact that Magnus is incredibly skilled haha
@@soundoholic2490 thats true but sir u need to remember that hes blind folded, how the f does he keep trackin on all boards??? Whaaaa

This comment needs no reply. *replies*
people often say that about famous people. It makes me cringe because it is poor preparation for a speech. could also be because of nerves. still ok overall though but its an area a lot of public speakers need to improve on imo.
I did not know who Magnus was before this video.

You have a crush on him because you want to be with a "talented" wealthy popular (positively popular) person, so that any positive gesture he does is a positive sign for you
I couldn’t do this playing Checkers against a child.
Truly one of the most special humans ever known. Ever.
That is incredible. In my prime I could play ONE game blind, against another player also without a board. It actually isn't too bad when you are 20 and have been playing all your life. But three boards? And he made a different opening on each one (I assume to challenge himself.)
At the speed they were playing, I barely could keep track of the games when they were showing them on the screen.
Magnus truly is a wonder.
Nobody asked, but ok.
@@bryan9587 you jealous??
I also struggled keeping up in the beginning because it was messy. Plays on Board 1&2 then board 1 replies without doing board 3 as I had expected. Mid and end game was easier than the beginning because they started doing rotational which they should have done in the beginning.

@@Ronnie9P Yeah, I'm sure you would try fried liver vs the world champion...
Honestly, the dude in the middle played VERY well. Obviously lost on time, but otherwise is dead even with Magnus when the clock ran out. That's pretty amazing.
ye he is definitely high rated
Because they put board 3s move on board two at 7:02
He did not play well what happened was they said C3, but he thought he heard E3 and he lost his pawn early game.
ya i kno magnus told me in a skype we did
Man, what a huge compliment he gave board 2 at the end while shaking their hands. If he just had more time he probably could have held on a bit longer.
haha they lost by different methods. Checkmate, no time and resigning.
board 1 was gonna get checkmated pretty soon if he didn't resign anyway
Yeah his position was hopeless. The only real move he had Kc8, because if he try and block with the rook, Magnus will take with the bishop and blacks rook is pinned from retaking, while magnus bishop is defended so he cannot retake with the king. But even after Kc8 Magnus will trade Queens and then win the Knight with Rxd6
@@Chillypuwn 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.

I found that funny and I actually had imagined that the audience laughed, had to replay a couple times, stunned at the silence, that I perceived it so incorrectly, now I'm worried about myself
I mean it wasn’t really a joke it was more truth than a joke. But I agree no one noticed
Whtt was the joke.. i didnt get it
this is really one of the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life
You can see how even the people editing the digital boards are lagging behind, and yet Carlsen can literally memorise all of them.
No these are special electronic boards that transmits the position to digital. You can see they're all plugged in

@@lolaboots7028 I mean, I'm not the chess grandmaster so naw chief.
My favourite part was when said “Its Magnusing time” and Magnused all over the place, Truly one of the moments.
6:56 This still blows my mind. Magnus didn't tell him to play c4 on board 2, "board 3 c4." And yet he somehow either figured out where his pawn was and played with no problem, or in his head he had already played the move and just got lucky. It's just a pawn, but it did allow the recapture with the pawn.
I figure he must have thought that is what was played as his opponent moved (so he must have moved/missed a turn) and from his move he must have figured out it was a queen's gambit?
Makes you wonder if all of this was scripted.
@@emilsadykhov123 nah it makes zero sense for it to be scripted as obviously Magnus is incredibly skilled either way and if it were to potentially leak that he cheated in a mere exhibition match or staged in any way that would look awful for him. It wouldn't make sense for him to take that kind of risk for a match that isn't even a professional competition.
@Shadow Dream only on on the board 3 but they left the pawn on c4 on board 2. I cant understand how he managed to know it was there
