EXCITING STREET CHESS Magnus Carlsen vs Anish Giri

World Champion Magnus Carlsen and Dutch #1 Anish Giri go head to head in a blitz game in the park. 

Employing a modified version of the Sicilian Grand Prix Attack with a3, Carlsen gets himself into a bit of trouble early on…but manages to save the game. See how in the video.

It's really cool they can just have a friendly game like that, just these two behemoths chuckling in a park

[mikecroke]

It’s nice to hear the back and forth banter. The playfulness is refreshing to see

[AshA-wwhc]

4:53 Amazing how he immediately says "now I am winning" after the engine showed a white advantage with that move. He is a living human engine.

I wanna see chess through Magnus’ eyes just once. I think I will reach enlightenment 😂

[Keyakina]

no clue how Magnus even knew he was suddenly winning

[lteoot]

Love to see the respectful in-game analysis and banter. Good stuff

[ericgilmore]

You should challenge Hans Niemann to a trial by combat

It is always so much fun watching gms play chess in a non serious game

[justinherbert]

Magnus has been pumping iron - GOAT is super strong mentally, physically -- enjoyed watching the game and hearing the banter in a park setting!

I really love to see Magnus play, the world's best chess player ever to have lived, and soooo relaxed and friendly. Bravo!

[schaga]

so unique to see this time, when a world chess player so ahead above even top gm players, playing chill in a park, joking and entertaining. It s so refreshing and unique.
Never kasparov or fisher would have done that i assume

[prodnothingtodo]

this was one of the coolest games ive ever seen
theyre so chill and the match was so clean

[Norwegian]

4:56 The engine is not sure who is winning, but when Magnus says he is winning - it jumps in his favour.
😁

Fun to watch. Such skill such back and forth. Such great chess. Washes away all the losses in my own games. Makes me want to play again and get to games like this

[theking-irgj]

This comic chess series need to be continued on this channel

[kudzem]

A true pleasure watching the GOAT win a drawn position against the drawmaster

[jryer]

That was really cool, watching these 2 go at it. Props to both players for letting the people enjoy great games, that normally are only available at tournaments, at this level! Magnus really is the peoples' champion. Well there is that other guy on Youtube that basically beats everyone in fast games. I think he uses beads!

*I'm sure park chess is a lot more fun for you than tournament chess. You look a lot more relaxed.*

[fierypickles]

I love the anime-esque dialogue. Someone should animate this with a mix of yugioh and jojo styles. Im shocked theres no chess anime

[janhansen]

Nice to see how top chess players respect each other and having fun.
