[TreeCamper]

just the fact that you made him stare at the board for more than 10 seconds is an achievment.

[MultiRavenclaw]

Magnus is such a “finals-boss-character”. Multiple games, in-game interviews, signing boards for fans, watching other games, and trash talking — all while smoothly dominating the board into a winning endgame.

[rafthegoat]

Whenever a GM is staring at their board for more than 10 seconds, you know they're calculating every move in the universe before they castle

[freddypalencia]

Love how magnus is smiling whenever he signs the kid’s board and goes back to playing with eric with a serious face. Shows the respect

[GothamChess]

Solid game. Next time would you mind winning though?

[israman]

So humble Eric, giving a fan the opportunity to win an end game

[AdelSweezy]

1:06 "you can play it's ok" hahaahahahahaha i love Magnus 🤣🤣🤣🤣good game guys

[Fifi-pgrp]

Magnus’ eyebrow raise at 5:36 when Hans said “chess is always speaking” is hilarious

[hanfpeter]

There is no greater disrespect than him passing by your board, looking down on you, making a move that crushes your poistion with no hesitation, then just walking straight off to crush the other 4 peasants.

[-darrell]

You know you're in trouble when your opponent is signing autographs between turns! Great game Eric.

[dannyhelser]

19:10 "Magnum, Magnum, can we ge-" "-it's Magnus" lmao

[yannaedc]

He just walks by, relaxed af, insta moves a piece and continues to walk away like some ancient kung fu master
I'm no chess player but my mind was going "OMG HE LEANED FORWARD, HE LEANED FORWARD"

[Clemiiiii]

Damn. This girl was playing against the combined power of Magnus and Alireza.

[andrew_owens]

Every move, I'd be going: "I castled against Magnus Carlsen. I took the pawn of Magnus Carlsen. I shook hands with Magnus Carlsen - after I resigned."

[everminenow]

"Coz its only the highlights on the youtube" fvcking savage Magnus 9:35

[comm_gt]

the fact that Eric lasted to the endgame, while also being equal in material is an accomplishment tbh

[seanmichaelbrady]

Can’t believe you almost held a worse endgame against Magnus

[jashepoon]

Petition to retitle this: "I almost held a worse endgame against Magnus"

[tsgv]

16:56

“You played well, just the one blunder”

very kind

[alexthompson]

The most insane part is that Rosen would beat 99.99% of the people that watched this video and Magnus is casually walking around and playing several games and winning them all
