Levy: "Notice how Magnus did all the damage without developing most of his pieces."
600's watching: "Maybe I am Magnus Carlsen?"

[NicoDavid]

"Keeping him a little bit nervous for at least 8 moves was a minor victory."
that's pure comedy right there.

[_cuentos]

plot twist: Carlsen is also an extreme learner who has been extreme learning chess since age 6

[jonicaushllari]

Max: I decided to practice MMA
Max: I will challange Khabib
Max at the hospital: I kept Khabib nervous for the first 10 sec

I think the reason why people give him so much hate for this video is it’s fairly insulting to chess. Like, another one of his 30-day challenges was “learn a backflip” it wasn’t “beat Simone Biles on a floor routine.” But when it came to chess he begins by saying he can design software to solve the game as if there haven’t been actual programmers and chess players refining exactly that sort of software for decades. Then he pays however much money for the greatest player alive, maybe ever, to play against him and be nice to him afterwards so he can feel like he wasn’t being a total clown the whole time. The entire thing just reeks of cringy, entitled arrogance.

So summary:
Max: "I will beat Magnus at chess"
Max: "Fuck, chess is hard, imma make a computer"
Max:"Fuck, I couldnt make a computer"
Max: *hangs all his pieces, loses the game*
Max: *Incomprehensible mumbling to Magnus*

[jshooa]

"Alright, so I heard you got paid a lot, very understandable."

No idea why I laughed so damn hard

[wasp]

“i had him nervous for the first 8 moves” lmao magnus absolutely shaking in his boots watching this guy go into main line ruy lopez

[KurtHugoSchneider]

he played well if he only learned 30 days before the game, but i really don't get what his plan was here... like if his 'algorithm' was actually 'ready' was he going to... memorize all of chess??

[brigaider]

"He is a self-proclaimed 1100" fucking killed me lmao

[DouglasCarter]

“I would consider myself an extreme learner” how are we supposed to not make fun of that Gotham?

[RainingArtillery]

Max Deutsch is proficient at reaching the point of the Dunning-Kruger curve where you know nothing, but are confident because you don't even know how much you don't know.

[ST-gdeq]

BREAKING NEWS: Magnus has said that he likely won't pursue his championship title unless he goes against Max Deutsch in the championship.

[aryanmaheshwari]

The fact that he thought he made Magnus nervous within 10 moves is enough reason to mock the life out of this man xDD my God.

[ravecrab]

Magnus before the game: "I'm genuinely curious to see what he can do in a month."
Magnus after the game: "Well, that was a complete waste of my time."

[traplover]

Only problem with Max was his goals. Solving a Rubix Cube under a time limit is not equal to beating Magnus Carlsen

[tmsoens]

It's disrespectful, let's be honest. You can learn new skills in a month. But becoming the best in a game which is played by people who dedicated their life to it... It's delusional.

[James-vckc]

Didn’t max deutsch end up defeating Magnus forcing him to retire from chess and give up all of his champion titles?

[melchormendoza]

the problem with his "algorithm" plan is, even if it worked and it was the best chess computer of all time, he still has to memorize every line for every opening that magnus will do against him. to make it "believable" lets say he memorized 30 moves in for all possible black openings against his opening, and after 30 moves hes up +5.00. magnus will still destroy an 1100 down +5.00 blindfolded pretty easily while singing macarena.

[ludwigwittgenstein]

As an “extreme learner”, the guy sure “learned” something with this.
