How I Beat Magnus Carlsen

The World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen challenged me to a friendly match while I was streaming. To make it fair we played with time odds: 5 min vs 30 sec. Drop a like and let us know in the comments if we should give him even less time the next match!

[Andrew-ssjd]

The fact that he always plays with two cronies behind him like some kind of mafia boss never fails to make me laugh

[MagisterVeritas]

I was once paired with Magnus in a game but he just left without starting so I won.
I proceeded to scream around the house, I called everyone and told them I beat Magnus, I appeared in the village tree billboard, I signed everyone's cow, I wrote a book about dealing with the pressure of being better than the world champion, I sent Magnus a chess set with my face carved on all the pieces, refused the world chess championship trophy, put Kasparov on hold for a week, accepted a diamond membership for me and all my descendants in perpetuity from Danny Rensch, got a special intrusive gift from Hans Niemann and declined a foot massage from Agadmator.
Then I woke up and saw that Magnus had opened with his knight to f3 so I threw my laptop out the window

[MegaClank]

The fact that Alex actually taught Magnus the rule of the square is amazing. He’s always learning and humble enough to admit it

[Blue-jsqw]

Honestly being called "Tricky" by Magnus means you are pretty skilled ngl

[colingames]

The fact that Magnus can come back from almost every situation is astonishing to me.

[MarkWilson-ijjd]

I'm glad you won one, but Magnus' ability to play chess is a pleasure to watch. The guy is an absolute menace.

[devyanikaswankar]

His reaction was so cute after he said the 2:25 “c’mon Alex, take my time”

[wariocheats]

This guy is good. A master is screaming beating him when he only had 30 seconds and they had 5 mins. And it took them like 6 attempts. I’m not slighting Alex.

I’m just appreciating how gifted his mind is. Like wow

[kiwimemes]

botez: *intense thinking and breathing*
magnus: *laughing and talking to his friend explaining why one is more handsome than the other*
me watching: what on earth is going on-

[connormccartain]

17:50 "I do have more time, but If I think he's gonna think on my time." *Magnus just memeing with his mates*

[ddannoso]

That endgame in 13:00 is a beautiful one.

Alexandra is a solid player and it shows you how much knowledge magnus has about chess to have that much defense with the few pieces that remain

[Lena-znre]

7:18 Are you telling me Magnus Carlsen, arguably the greatest chess player of all time and the person who has studied literally every move in chess, legitimately learned something from Alex Botez? That’s a W on its own right there tbh.

[TonyStark-vxqz]

Magnus learned the square rule from Botez and telling everyone about that just shows how humble Magnus really is.

[w-w-w]

Alex is not joke. She is really strong. It is almost impossible to beat Magnus even for some grand masters. It is only single win with difference time limit but totally worth it.

[ashimsarkar]

Despite having only 30 seconds, there is always smile in his face, but sometimes having 5 minutes can make a person nervous all the time in every game.
It really proves how great player he is....

[boombbassa]

Bravo to Alex and Magnus, this is some of the best content I have ever had the pleasure to watch!

[ajays]

What did it cost to beat magnus?
Alex: everything

[liquidis]

Something alot of people don't know: the trick with having more time isn't to stop and think about your move it's to play just as fast as your opponent because the time you take to think is the time your opponent uses to look at the board but if you playing just as fast as your opponent at the end of the game you might be a couple minutes up.

[ohiorushbaby]

We need a GothamChess breakdown of this game.

[jukkahamalainen]

This felt like watching a superhero movie. Just incredible emotions all around. Was expecting Alexandra to go full Gladiator with "are you not entertained!" in the end 😂
