Levy please bring back the awkward stare in the beginning, it feels so weird to just start talking (I mean it)

No clickbait? Fine I’ll give you a like

[surajitdas]

Bro need good audience. Every one is roasting him on comment section.

[fadisaadi]

[MrGary]

Goth, once you've become a GM, Gotham City is no longer safe because everyone will then know who is the Dark Knight

[RobertSela]

Fun fact: Carlsen is also the highest ranking player that has ever played the Italian, Sicilian, Ruy Lopez, Dragon Sicilian, the Bentoni Brother Variation, the Slime Fox, Hedgehog defense, Rhino, Bongcloud and a little known chinese opening called the Ming Bing sacrifice.

Whenever I hear "this opening is played at the highest levels and Magnus plays it" I actually hear "the gameplan of this opening is to kill all fun and get a 0.1 advantage in a really long endgame and if you're under 2000 you're more likely to blunder than not". Thankfully the Catalan seems to be the exception

I love when the video is just uploaded and people spam first 😂

To become a grandmaster, a player must achieve both of the following: Favorable results (called norms) from a total of at least 27 games in tournaments. With some exceptions, to receive a norm in a tournament: The player's performance rating at the end of the tournament must be at least 2600. There are also Grandmaster titles for composers and solvers of chess problems, awarded by the World Federation for Chess Composition. refer to the world's elite players. In the past this would refer to players with an Elo rating of over 2600, but as the average Elo rating of the top players has increased it has typically come to refer to players with an Elo rating of over 2700. Super GMs, the number of whom has grown considerably over the years, have some name recognition in the world of sport and are typically the highest earners in chess.

Magnus breathes.
Ladies and gentlemen magnus just inhaled some O2 in a different style

[matteoairaghi]

I'd say it's much more likely for Magnus to crush people with my favourite opening

[paularized]

The Catalan is easy to get yourself in trouble if you mess up. Intermediate players like to go for a quick king side attack with black. If you misplace any of your pieces, it can be really hard to defend.
