MAGNUS IS PERFECTION!!

Levy never fails .... oh wait wrong channel

Welcome back to the “WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE”, everyone.

0:01 POV you just played E4 blundering mate in 51 moves

5:53 me when I need more words for my essay

that stare in the beginning 😮‍💨

I really like how your recaps always include really tactical sequences that go on for several moves, but also really simple one-move tactics such as the knight moving so the rook protects the pawn; both are explained really clearly and it makes the recaps really easy to follow.

"at the end of the day im js human" hits hard

*falling asleep Hikaru: "After a move like... White can sac the ROOK!! 🗣🗣🗣" Me: 👁👁

6:00 love that he played the game out. Obviously saw what was coming but was a good sport

5:30 Kudos to Andreikin for letting Magnus play out that gourgeous combination to the checkmate!

The stare at the beginning and "welcome back everyone" gets me every time 😹

Hikaru: Magnus is perfection Me as a Magnus fan: Hikaru is eqaully a perfection, hats off. Best wishes in SCC🎉

Magnus magnussing as always

loses to magnus, proceeds to respectfully remind everyone hes the first person to achieve 2 perfect scores please never change

All this talk about computer moves got me thinking. It's a new skill that separates GMs from Super-GMs: Knowing what to look for, what to expect and what the opponent will most likely calculate. There will be lines that, for a computer, are losing, but might succeed because a human opponent would not consider it in his calculations and/or would spent huge amounts of extra time if he does. It's probably what Tal did back in the day before computers were good: Creating situations that are uncommon and where the natural looking move is the one move that loses. In many of his games he started attacks that would be defendable by computers but he could bet on humans not being able to find the correct answers within the given time limits. In other words he played suboptimal moves that became superior by acknowledging the human factor.

Hikaru is clearly the most iconic character of digital chess ❤

love the respect between Hikaru and Magnus

i like how he stares at camera for 2 seconds and then suddenly plays the goated intro

"We all wish Magnus the best. Or do we?" Vsauce music starts playing

Bro thinks he's levy💀
