@@MMABeijingYes thats true if you are low elo and learn from a couple of videos some tactics about anything really you can win based on some basic knowledge that maybe the other low elo player doesn’t know completely or you win because the opponent blunders before you, I am low elo and that’s most of my wins but as i go higher i always fall behind again because there is a knowledge gap the opponents know more advanced tactics and what to do they already went through it , you have to constantly self reflect and learn mistakes from your game and study the enemy that you just played against it just takes time just like anything in life you cant cheese it especially chess where there is a million possibilities
Calculating the line is no problem, most of the intermediates can do that. But actually recognizing, that you are winning there without spending at least 10 minutes is insane
Where he just says "and I should be better in the rook ending"! I followed it to the point that I could see the position, but no way I could just evaluate that position as better. Amazing to get to watch him clean up in the ending that he visualized.
The Secret is experience (obviously), the amount of positions you can remember at once and playing lots and lots of finals... Carlsen's level is so high hw achieved this kind of position milions of times apparently, so he could handle things like he's doing his every morning coffee, with one hand tied behind his back... We also can achieve this level... by training and gainind experience you can shoot as high as your determination permits
@@robertrodes1546 I think the easiest way to tell that his position is winning is that his rook keeps the black king pinned at the back of the board, whereas Magnus's king is free to simply walk up and eat stuff. Obviously Magnus saw more than just that, but I think that's the gist of it.
He knows he's better in that position because it's an endgame and his king is closer to the center, every intermediate player would see that. One impressive thing is he anticipated his opponent would play Kf5, but maybe he was just calculating that just in case. The truly impressive thing is how he casually walked his king though the board to promote the pawn, he didn't even had to calculate that, I'd spent a lot of time wondering what's the best square for my king to avoid checks and losing material.
The magic is not the calculation part (which in itself is very impressive), it's the part where Magnus can conclude "I should be better in the rook ending" in a heartbeat after he's done with the calculation.
@@t-love8351 does he though? there's a clip on GJ_Chess from 9 days ago where he says engines are good for noobie players to get over the initial hump of learning. based on the way he's talking he sounds like he doesn't, but if you can link something that indicates otherwise i'll read/watch it
Amazing how easy Carlsen makes it look! I'm roughly an expert level player and its mind boggling how quickly and accurately Carlsen comes up with strategic ideas and calculates the relevant lines. Thanks!
I think a lot of it is probably being able to actually visualise the pieces clearly after all the exchanges (Queen's Gambit with the pieces on the ceiling kind of thing). I still find this kind of hard because what I see on the board with my eyes, before the exchanges, interferes with trying to imagine where the are _after_ the exchange.
I do wonder how much of a disadvantage having aphantasia (inability to visualise it) causes with chess. I've been learning and it feels like seeing the board in your mind and future moves must help an awful lot.
"She will play Qd4, this will trigger a synapse in her brain that will cause her in the next game to pre-move incorrectly Rd8. I will take advantage of that and she will resign.

Interesting how he instantly sees and plays the winning endgame plan once she makes a mistake. I might find that but I'd have to think about it for ten minutes. He just does it immediately.
Tons of experience makes it see every possibilities in seconds. To make a different line of speaking, you need ten minutes because you are calculating a line with your pieces meanwhile magnus just remember various aspects that he saw thousands times before so he just put those puzzle pieces into the game
That's how GMs play chess. It's no longer a game but rather a series of memorization that goes through their heads. Calculation only goes second. I dare not to say that a single person can actually memorize the Shannon's number but the realm of possibility is close if you have an eidetic memory. This is why most GMs chess battles always result in a draw because at the top of competition, the battle is between your opponents psyche and your own. In short, you wait for the opponent to blunder or if you have a higher state of mind than your opponent, you can force them to take a blunder because it only takes a single major mistake to turn things around in the game of chess.
I wouldn't be able yo call the while end game line, but I would have been able to break it down onto junks over more turns and far slower if that makes sense.
"Magnus shows how to calculate squares in chess" *Watches video to end* Magnus: "There you guy. Just draw arrows and then it happens in the game" Me: Genius.
I'm guessing Kf7 to e7 and it acts like a blockader. In the game the e-pawn was able to run freely because the lone rook on e8 was no match for white's pawn, rook and king.
No, the line would be Rf8 followed by Ke2 and Rxf5. This stops white from getting his passed pawn in the centre (for example after Rxf5, Rxe6 Kf7 Ra6 Rxe5+)
The world chess champion and, probably, GOAT freely sharing his insight so we can analyze how he thinks, is such an amazing privilege. I think next generations will study videos like this and build upon that. As for me... I suck but enjoy watching games like this.
4:14 Yeah that wasn't difficult for me to follow but only because he showed the line it to me. Also because there are less pieces pieces on the board: only a pair of knights remaining (minor pieces). So that's why they suggest less experienced players to practice calculation in the endgame; it's much easier on the mind.
I always love the vids where Magnus goes into the current game with analysis Also, calling the exact line of the endgame so quickly is just awesome, ha. Wow
I love and find find very interesting is the fact that he backed up in the middle of the game away from the left he knew what to take after he backed up pieces. I need that skill 😊
One can see that a big boost victories come from understanding the finals, because Carlsen could instantly see that he was going to be better in the rook ending.
5:11 - Can someone explain how his king was able to move 3 squares behind the rook. I thought the king can only move 1 square at a time so should be behind the pawn.

Okay, complete noob here. It took me awhile to understand why she resigned. I love it when chess people verbalize their thoughts as they play. It makes for a great learning experience for beginners like me.
Magnus appears like a normal man. Which is very sympathetic. I didn't expect him to say words such as "perhaps", "apparently", and "maybe" when thinking loud about a move...
I heard that he can just see positions in his head and never forgets them. He is by far the best Chess player in the world and it is cool to be alive and see this stuff for free basically.
Watching those arrows drawn is like when Jeremy Brett playing Sherlock Holmes explains his method of deduction. It seems so simple when explained but try to do it yourself! 😉
I'm low elo and that was pretty simple tbh. She didn't actually expect that to work, did she? You'd think she would have looked at that line herself before moving. Also left a pawn hanging.
u could but one line that I see is 1)e7+ K*e7 2) Re6+ (wherever king moves) 3)R*e8 K*e8 4)Kc5 Kd7 5)Kb5 b3 6) K*a5... and just win from there so its winning either ways
Why is Magnus exchanging knights on f5 instead of talking the pawn on e6 and getting a +1 lead? Is he afraid of the black pawn moving forward to d4 with the black knight covering it? Is that black pawn too dangerous and not worth the +1?
Black rook kills white rook, white king kills black rook. He just skipped those moves in the video because he explained them previously with the arrows (notice how the black rook disappears too) .
@@370freeark he doesn't skip them in the video, he actually premoves, which means giving the chess engine the instruction to play those moves ahead of time. It's a time-saving thing in online games.
