Carlsen: Makes a standard opening move. Kasparov: Aw shit, kid’s good.

@Danilo Valadão because thats how ridiculous it actually was

Well there are 20 diffrent moves for your first turn but you dont see more than 5 of them in pro chess.

@Jan Snauwaert I once had an opponent like Kasparov (in demeanor, that is, i… whilst I’d like to say I’m quite proficient I am not the kind of guy for world championships I’m afraid) Anyway, we sat down, did our customary handshake and off we were, and he looked like he was about to shove the checkered board down my throat. It was absolutely incredible. Didn’t say a word, had his head resting on his hands most of the time, glaring at me with his almost rage-filled eyes. I’m pretty sure it was some form of tactic, because truth be told, I was pretty intimidated. Not because of any immediate threat, it was just… pretty uncomfortable sitting there, and I actually ended up not winning because of it.

@Jan Snauwaert Magnus caan lose his temper pretty easily too lol

He was just concentrating before start lol

Y’all gotta understand that Kasparov as a grandmaster has everything to lose here and Magnus a 13 year old boy still has much ahead of him and no pressure would be on him at this point.

You don't become number 1 if you can't handle pressure. Pressure is out of the equation here.

@Josh H so what's more impressive? a kid that is just as fast as usian bolt or usain bolt himself? its the kid and now that you have that answer just apply tye same logic here.

@Ian Cassady That kid is still a chess GM, plus Kasparov managed to win as white and draw as black. Is that not good enough? Not to mention, Kasparov was only a year older than Magnus when he was at the same elo as Magnus here.

@Rakurai Kasparov was rated as 2830? at the time compared too the 2550 Magnus. Checking win probabilities, Kasparov only had a 50% chance of winning both matches and there was a 25% chance a game would end in a draw. Seems like a very likely conclusion, no?

yeah, ya'll gotta understand that!

The way Magnus didn't start the clock was very respectful and badass. He knows he doesn't need that advantage.

@Simply Oh you are positive? The kid knew chess openings and endgames like few to none at his age. He knew tactics and read a lot of books, but sure he wasn't aware of this basic concept of when you can start...

@phoenix21studios it’s the opposite.

Kasparov: Chess is my Life *Carlsen makes first move* Kasparov: Checkers is my Life

Carlsen: Donald Duck is my Life

@ Bluemoon - Black chooses on which side of him he prefers the clock, in the same way that it is 'fair' for white to make the first move. Rules of chess. Where would you have placed the clock?

@ Ryan Flanagan - I didn't see any gnomes playing chess in the video. What is this comment about fairy tales and barbaric tribal delusions here for, exactly?

@Bluemoon . . . do you believe in afterlife?

3:15 the fact that 13 year old Magnus is not even looking at the board he is looking behind him and on top of that he gets up and walks away is legendary. To top it off as soon as Kasparov plays he comes back and plays back right away. Many would say that it was the highest possible disrespect to Kasparov butt i call it simply genius 😅

Since Kasparov arrived late there couldn't have been a better response...

@EaglePicking I doubt that

I mean, Kasparov paid the first disrespect by being incredibly late

Maybe. Or he's just playing how he likes and staying relaxed, which keeps his head in the best possible space.

No hes respectful for doing that! Its to relief pressare on kasparov!!

Wow, that Kasparov guy actually managed a draw with Magnus Carlsen

So sarcastic

@Rondo2ooo Maybe they did and are sarcastic or trolls. Never underestimate. XD

Interesting how many people don't get the original comment in this thread.

Brus kasparov is on of the legend of chess

Obviously Kasparov had an immense pressure not to lose to a 13yo and #700 in the world. BUT... damn did Magnus as a kid made him shit bricks during the whole game. The amount of confidence at 13 years of age from Magnus is outstanding. 3:13 I think Kasparov did that move on purpose since Magnus wasn't looking at the board at the time. Little did it work when the kid came back running to make his move knowing exactly what he had moved and making Kasparov even MORE nervous. Kasparov was terrified of 13yo Magnus!

I love that Magnus has his orange juice by his side as he smashes the world champion

@Raishin Kasparov drawer with him

@Adani safira most 13 year olds are having fun doing what they love. Some are getting through messed up childhoods and the others are doing something productive. Please don’t act like a 13 year old playing chess like this is anything special. It’s impressive and likely can’t be done by ordinary people but doesn’t change the fact that chess is a dying game

@Dingus If you draw against a kid you got smashed. Rules of life.

@Gingnose A 13 year old kid. Garry Kasparov. Don't downplay what just happened here.

@Raishin  Does a tie against a 13yo when Kasparov is a legendary GM count as "beat him handily" to you?

The fact that he was able to stand up and check how the other games went in the middle of his match is such a power move.

@lusteraliaszero You're a person of sense.

@FrostedLogic it's not about him being 13 though, obviously him being in the situation he's in is impressive, but his behaviorism is just like any other pro might behave in front of kasparov, it's totally normal chess pro behavior, so to deify it in this already established as amazing context is stupid

@lusteraliaszero i can tell you know very little about chess nor the people at the top of the game to make this statement lmfao. this is a 13 year old looking away from one of the best players in the world to watch other games. please do tell me the last time you were facing one of the top players of a game and were able to just watch other people play. at 13

@walking every youtube comment about some kinda popular public figure will be filled with them worshipping every little thing they do no matter how mundane

@Deepak Bisht i thought i could see good info about this game in the comments but just finding people who never been outside praising everything 😐

The fact that magnus move around look at other player's game and as soon as his turn , he just put his next move, meaning he already predicted his opponent's movement, mans a genius

Well, unless it's a situation where there's a relatively obvious default response, but Kasparov was hoping he could find a better response, but didn't. Not that Magnus Carlsen isn't very good

@Peter Griffin i understand chess well enough. played it in my childhood and now online every other day

@A mediocre rocket league player I'd agree, but he's also like 8 here sooo

@RangerBubbleGum you CLEARLY don’t understand chess.

@A mediocre rocket league player Predicting perfectly the #1 ranked when you’re a #700 13 year old. Yea that’s pretty good.

The fact he stood up to watch other player’s game in the middle of his game is a BOSS MOVE.

It's all good

That's a kid move being too bored to sit

@Иван Hi.

Fun fact: One day before this game and one day after this game there have been matches between these two as well and kasparow beat magnus in both of them. He also ended up winning the entire tournament.

@Christian Bowes why?

Not a very fun fact

Why wouldn’t he win the whole thing? He was the best at the time and drawing even once to a 13 year old nonetheless was surprising and an impressive feat by Magnus

At 3:13 an hilarious signature move was in the making And Kasparov shaking his head in shock is one of the most epic moments in any chess game I've ever seen

This was edited really well and I appreciate how they used sounds/music to tap into emotions. The chorus singing in the background on a cold and rainy day as Magnus peers out the window over a clouded city...Kasparov lion roar... Magnus Hands folded.... All the facial expressions and body language were captured perfectly. Love this video.

it was actually edited really bad, the video made it seem like it was gary who was taking a lot of time to make moves but look at the timer lol, it's completely the opposite

I loved the embellishments of magnus reading donald duck

That lion roar started me, twice.

3:38 Karpov casually analysing the game. The man who Kasparov dethroned as the world champion.

@Juan u an agent? (Fbi and shit)

@You pick the wrong guy fool All good at home?

But he drew 1 game and lost 2.

"Dethroned"😱😳😢🤓👍

I just love how Magnus casually went from table to table to analyse the games because he was bored :)

He wasn’t bored! He was trying to clear his mind and relax for a minute.

Magnus: Makes common opening move Kasparov: *Hears boss music*

The edit makes it look like Magnus wasn't even thinking about it, but in the end we see he is actually down to 3:30 minutes while Kasparov still had 11:50

Yikes

@anas wassim yikes

@anas wassim yikes

@Durain Leska I'm glad I made your happiness !!

@anas wassim You're just doubling down when someone pointed out you're wrong. I have nothing to say in this argument by the way. I'm just pointing out you're acting like a child and you made me happy.

The fact he stood up to watch another player’s games against one of the greatest in history of all time is Bad Ass, like Gary said Magnus is the combination of Karpov and Fisher.

After losing the first 2 he probably got bored

#CarlsenSC 🤘

Very interesting buildup and moments from the game itself. Kasparov was obviously impolite by showing up late for the match, and then K shows a variety of facial tics and quirky behaviors as he puzzles over the board at various times, trying to figure out how to defeat this young boy who is frustrating him with such stellar play.

The kid is such a badass. He deadass just stood up and walked away from the table lmfao. I'd be having a literal panic attack.

@ThinkingBud No you don't say! Who would have guessed?

*LITERAL*

No u wouldn't

Yeah first i wonder he would go to restroom lol 🤣.

Did you see K's eyes when he got up. The camera man did....that has never happened to K before. *OHHHH SA-NAP!*

The fact that he was checking other tables,already had planned the next move even before opponent play ,,,,pure talent

"already had planned the next move even before opponent play" That's how you play chess lol

Badass! He stands up and walks away, didn't watch the board. When he returns to the board, he knows which piece was moved and counter it so calmly.

Magnus was very sophisticated for a kid, and that’s all it took to know just how great he would grow up into the genius we know and love today, no doubt.🙏

The amount of focus he displayed for an 11 year old is even more phenomenal..... ask any parent.

This kid is good, maybe someday he will become a grandmaster in the future. Who knows

@Rosabel Tabares aww guys stop bullying him! hes just a baby :)

The kid was great. He must be international master by now

Yes, he was almost a grandmaster at that age. But what old fart, whatever his name was, isn't that bad either, being able to draw against Magnus.

These Chess die-hard fans sure are very funny at parties Sheesh!

@IrokoSalei r/woooosh

more than 3 years has passed since i saw this for the first time, magnus is the greatest player of the last decade/(s)/of my generation, a war is ongoing, and 13 yr old magnus is still insanely impressive

This is what I felt like in my 5th grade chess tournament

@You want My name? adult magnus has said that he choked this game which is even more impressive and the analysis checks out, he was winning, he tricked k in the opening and was building advantage until he let it slip even tho it was within his ability, it makes sense, he didn't think he could beat k in the first place

Since this is verified, I suppose it's going to explode, so This a 3 game. Kasparov won 2 games against Magnus, this one Magnus managed to make it draw (which is impressive for a 13 year old against world champion)

Bruh this is so relatable 😂

Exactly

The fact when Carlsen gave a small smirk realising he got into his head was the best part of the video.

Excelente Gabs, gracias por tu generosidad. Abrazos y bendiciones.

He didn’t even need to look at the ceiling...

(Mathew McConahay voice) woulda been way cooler if he did

Borgov

Haha

😂😂😂😂😂

@Deshawn T yep😂

What hasn't been shown is that Magnus Carlsen lost to Kasparov in a blitz game before this one. And he lost to Kasparov in the very next rapid game and was eliminated. Although very impressive draw against the greatest considering he is only 13!

" Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted." Sun Tzu, The Art of War

@Pnume Kin Cope. It makes him look scared (which he was). The kid didn't care.

It's not a physical conflict and not really relevant. Kasparov was playing mind games. He choose to start the fight at his convenience while Carlsen was already fretting, being drain by the wait and the doubt that maybe his preparation would have been wasted. Even his antics are mind games. Quite a show of respect that he resorts to that against a 13 years old.

the fact that even after this, Kasparov coached Carlsen for a long time

Truly a player whose skill will never be met again for decades to come.

Magnus was preparing by reading comic books what a madlad

@CrookedNose2131 He's a chill kid. Like, less antics but more care. Like, being chill is da key man

@Skooby HD Yes and by the way, it's not 'quiet' it's 'quite'

Quiet observant, aren’t we?….

@CrookedNose2131 thanks brodie

Eyeye

I love the fact that Garry Kasparov passed the torch to Magnus Carlsen & decided to train him in order to make him the absolute GOAT of chess. I hope one day that Magnus Carlsen will pass the torch to Mikhail Osipov ("Misha") and he will train him to become possibly the ultimate GOAT of a chess player of the century to say the least.

This young kid has just won 5th world chess championship!

This might be one of the greatest sporting achievements in history

Chess is a very old game with a long history. Also you're including every sport, ever. So maybe top 100 moments?

Jajaja maravillosa jugada 3:25 con eso dejo atonito a krsp y luego regresa y lo desafia jajaja...esa partida se gano con coraje, cosa que otros rivales nunca tubieron la determinacion de magnus

Let's be honest, the pressure Kasparov has had his entire life is insanely unhealthy. No-one should be subjected to the expectation to win every time he plays.

No one? Aren't we all?🤔😢🤓👍

@nick troiano The point he's making is it's a terrible thing. Doesn't matter if you're world champion, you're still human. Everyone gets burnt out.

@SageX98 I can see where you're coming from because yes you are right, having the expectation from others to win every single time you play is not a healthy lifestyle to surround you in. That being said. You do understand that they both very much enjoy playing and winning in chess? They have other hobbies and that aren't competitive or maybe even play for fun where it's not about winning. also im fairly sure that if they go to tournaments and win, they don't go home with a feeling of ,,another day, another win. god I wish I could just lose for once! " -no, they go home. celebrate another victory with friends and family. it's a matter of perspective. and don't take this the wrong way. but it's sound like you're reflecting some coping mechanism due to some personal losses; telling yourself its okay to not win every single time every now and then. which it is. because it's all about perspective.

Oh say that to Muhammad Ali the boxer then....

4:01 a moment never again seen, where they had to shake with each hand so the draw would be accepted. Once with the left and once with the right

By getting up in the middle of the game to look around is a great psychological move. It keeps himself calm by showing himself and others, you can compete and don’t have to be intimidated by this guy.

I like how in this video everone seem pay more attention to the fact that Magnus drew against Garry and not the fact that Kasparov was already ahead in the tourney and a draw was all he needed to qualify :)

Props to Carlsen, but even as a kid, I often wondered how much pressure Kasparov would be before every match. I mean, in my first tournament, I often got stressed in game while thinking if I should start with Giuoco Piano or Ruy Lopez xD

That extra loud click from Kasparov when Magnus was walking around tho 😂

@ycee LMAO🤣🤣

I wondered about that, I thought it was his parents.

Lmao I thought it was a bit extra

Hahaha. I noticed that

😂

We can see Kasparov aligning all of the pieces here, something Magnus does now all the time! :)

Magnus menino monstro é campeão mundial eterno 2021

Most badass move in history. Magnus is so bored that he gets up and thinks he should play all of them simultaneously because this old guy needs too much time to move.😅

The emotional cheering at the end is heartbreaking

My dumb ass thought the comment section was being sarcastic about this kid being world champion, turns out he really is the actual world champion 💀

Bro LOLOLOLOL

@Eternal Extrapolations Taking one for the team, respect

@Satyam 12A aa why are not proud of your country??

And at this very moment he is leading another world championship match 5-3 against Ian Nepomniatchi. Magnus first earned the title against Anand in 2013, and defended it by beating Anand again, then Karjakin, then Caruana.

Очень странно, что кто-то этого ещё не знает. Может быть в России шахматы популярнее, чем в остальном мире, но, мне кажется, Карлсен это мировая суперзвезда.

and now a 5 time World Champion he did it again, congratulations Magnus Carlsen!

3:31 this part wins for me what a legend

Favorite part is Magnus getting distracted, walking around, Kasparov heavy hits the timer, Magnus hurries back and makes a move immediately.

World’s best two chess players ever.

Carlsen: Plays one of the most common opening moves Kasparov: Already sweating

@Ardhi Utama It takes one to notice one

Because he has more than a dozen options to choose from

@Mobin92 you don't play chess do you. It's d4 it's not even an opening and it's the second most played first move in chess

2:40 carlsen was running out off time

Probably because he knows who he’s going up against 🤣

There are several instances where a young chess player later to be world champion beats or draws against the current world champion.

That Carlsen guy is pretty good, he should be a grandmaster.

I LOVE that Magnus did not bother to get up from his chair to shake Kasparov's hand. Beautiful. BOSS moves from day one!

What ppl don't know is thr was a practice match before this where Magnus lost and since this match was a knockout match, thr was a round 2 which Kasparov won. Kasparov went on to win this tournament

This boy has potential, keep up the good work Magnus Carlsen. 20 years later: *ZZ Top - Sharp Dress Man* Footage of Magnus walking, Footage of Magnus eating a hotdog, Footage of Magnus scrolling through his Spotify playlist...

Magnus father taught him to play when he was 5 years old, entered his first tournament at the age of eight, his father would also play against him and make Magnus not allowed to look at the board but his father could, he would always win, he become a grand master when he was 14 years old, some people are just born different, I and my friends were both shown chess at a young age and we took no interest in it at all some people just get so invovled and into something they become obsessed and this is what he has done, very cool when it happens.

@Lauris That's it, anyone in history that has been the best at something as always been like this.

Yeah, its like an addiction. But in a good way.(mostly) Better play chess all day than videogames or even worse, do drugs...

Can anyone explain to me why players opt to draw well before the end of the game? If you had the upper hand like Magnus did in this instance, wouldn't you try to go for the victory?

Not worth the hassle.. likely the match would still end in a draw

Showing up late and lacking respect towards other players.. Good retirement, Garry. Ok you played good. And in the end, Carlsen is the champion we deserve, genuine, respectful, never blaming others for his losses.

Magnus getting up and wondering about during the game was class. Was payback for him showing up late and showing a lack of respect.

Magnus lost two games lmao

This is what you ended up saying after you edited it?😬

Appreciate what you what, be are the make you appreciate what you dad

Agree nuts are great

Snow reap is what you see.

You know your watching professional chess when the game ends and you dont know who won

Little Magnus roaming here and there and looking others playing chess 😅..such confidence that too against kasparov and then coming back and playing the next move so quickly . I cant believe my eyes.

There is an insane amount of pressure on kasparov because if he gets beaten by Magnus then peoples will say oh he got bitten by a young boy and if he beats Magnus then people will say oh he is a young boy Magnus is a young boy so much pressure on kasparov

I love the psychological warfare Gary played on Magnus. Takes no chances.

Magnus had nothing to lose, and on the other hand, Kasparov had everything to lose.

@Geronimo Silva he was already a Grandmaster. if I'm not mistaken, the game was played in May 2004, he became a GM just the month before.

@Magician idk, i would say kasparov had more pressure since he was going against a kid. he is expected to win. if he loses there will be a tremendous amount of embarrassment. this does not include the traction it would gain on social media. magnus wouldn’t be looked down upon if he lost to the best.

@Metube Magnus did as well. He was an IM, he wasn't a new player

Kasparov had experience

You took that from Seto Kaiba didn’t you

The day a legend came into light

When the current champion faces the future champion. 😊

Magnus is the Beethoven of Chess

Magnus had no idea his behaviour caused kasparov to overthink literally every move

Can't imagine how embarrassing it must've been first being late to a game against a 13 year old and then not being able to beat that 13 year old lmao

@Gald Fieldren Chess is not easy and very dizzy 😂🤣 for some people like us.

@Tommy O Donovan Exactly

Being late in the Scandinavian culture is considered very bad manners. And little Magnus really rubbed it in when he casually got up from the match.... to stroll around. Very Scandinavian of him. I guarantee you....every Scandinavian knew exactly what Magnus was doing when he did that.

@hans hans actually, Magnus could've started the clock when Kasparov didn't arrive on time. There's a rule where a player can start the clock if his opponent doesn't arrive on time.

now he officially became the god of chess

The kid will have a bright future in the chess game. I bet He will become a champion one day.

Way too many people impressed by Carlsen walking around. Here’s the thing: they played two games. Carlsen lost one of them. And In this game he only managed a draw, and it’s a shame because at a certain point In the game he had a pawn advantage. Now of course Carlsen is young so he has a lot of energy, this is probably why he stood up so often. Had he done it because of the whole “power move” aspect you are all talking about then it didn’t work because he blew a winning position. He never officially played Kasparov again, so it’s a shame he didn’t beat him when he had a clear advantage. But I personally believe this is because he was young and had a lot of energy, not because he was trying to be cocky like you all think.

@Luke Strole yeah, but people act like Magnus crushed him. Magnus had a very difficult game, sure its very impressive for someone this young against the world champion. But it's not like the game was easy for him.

“Only managed a draw” my man it’s kasparov

Kasparov: Comes like a boss Magnus: Exits like a boss

The GOATs going at it. What a moment.

@The Bookworm Club do you believe in afterlife?

@Vlad this is the gospel the greatest news you can ever hear we broke God’s law, the Ten Commandments written on our heart by our God given conscious (lying, stealing, using God’s Name in vain, looking with lust which is adultery in the heart, hating our brother, our neighbor, anyone, is murder in the heart etc.) Jesus paid our fine on the cross with His death and shedding of blood. He took our punishment on the cross, God pays us in death for our sin and while Jesus did not deserve to die He did so willingly to save us from sin and death and hell and give us life forever, He paid our sin debt on the cross in His life’s blood to save us all. Jesus rose again from the dead and by His blood our sins are forgiven. Jesus is alive forever as He is King of kings and Lord of lords and He saves all who put their faith and repent of sin, confess and forsake it genuinely and in Truth. God can legally let us live forever, we broke His law Jesus paid our fine, He can do what is legal and just and right let us walk on judgment day when we all give account to God for our lives. in response to what God has done you have to put your faith in Jesus to save you and repent of sin turn from it and deny self pick up cross daily and follow Jesus. when you put your faith in Jesus and repent of sin, confess and forsake genuinely you have God's promise you have life eternal as a free gift, God promises this, God Who cannot lie. God will also give you The Holy Spirit to abide with you forever to guide, help and comfort you in life as well as God will give you a new heart and spirit that loves righteousness that is a personal miracle for sin loving humans, so if you want a personal miracle seek after God with a whole heart and you will find Jesus, follow God’s ways and watch His work in your life He will never leave or forsake you and never let you down. read your Bible God’s perfect Word ask The Holy Spirit to guide you as Jesus is The Living Word, ask The Holy Spirit to guide you in all confidence and God will in Jesus Name we pray amen always remember Jesus loves you that is why He saves us all! ✝️❤️ when you have put your faith in Jesus, repented of sin u are born again and are saved u have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into The Kingdom of Light, from death to Life, the path to hell to Life eternal in heaven with God and Jesus in Jesus Name we pray amen obey Jesus, His Word, He and God will make His home Their home with u, God with you always in The Holy Spirit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixyuvdo_Sjg when you are born again, when you put your faith in Jesus and repent of sin (confess and forsake) God will give you a new heart and spirit that loves righteousness instead of sin and corruption. that is a personal miracle for sin loving human beings so if you want a personal miracle humble yourself before God seek after God with a whole heart and you will find Him. Jesus said if anyone desires to come after me let him deny himself and pick up your cross daily and follow Jesus, to obey His Word in for God and Jesus to come and make Their home with you, the power of God through The Holy Spirit. God is knocking at the door and it is your choice to open or not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZdv-TtiMkg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgzD_yNdacA
