Magnus LEARNED THIS CHESS RULE from BOTEZ

[blueberryoatmeal]

The Botez sisters taught him the rule of the square. In return, he taught them how the knight moves.

[bamboozled]

And in this stream David was roasted hard by someone from chat ..

Saying : I learned the rule of Square just by looking at David's Forehead . 🤣

[treeman]

I knew something magnus didn’t? That’s a first

[melzz]

Magnus become the greatest endgame player without knowing the square rules...

Well maybe for someone that can calculate move really fast they don't need

Maybe it's like someone that knew mental arithmetic doesn't need calculator?

[jasonuerkvitz]

Magnus understood it from looking at it, but hadn't heard it articulated in this way. I think he was able to simply count and see who was faster, pawn or king.

[yujirohanma]

He doesn't need it tho. It was rule that was created to easily identify your chances of winning in the end game, something Carlsen didn't really need. His intuition and instinct, his calculation are more than enough for him to dominate

[rowangawne]

Who else subconsciously warms towards David Howell?

[LL_FTHR]

Square rule = Square
Magnus "I was making it a circle"
Funniest stuff ever

[anonymous_FoX]

Magnus knows that, but he didn't know that there's a rule for that

[evanthegrate]

He may be good but he could never beat sinister magnus

[mikki]

When your IQ gets so high that it's low again

[aaronbarlow]

Botez taught me how to sac a queen for nothing.

[luciangv]

multiverse where Franco Escamilla is friend of Magus

[gabrielbarros]

It's not a rule, just a trick to make it easier

[vladmatei]

From time to time it becomes obvious the minds of champions are wired differently.
"It was the rule of the square, but I didn't know it is an actual square".
Funny thing, the minds of the weak and the minds of the smartest seem at times to be similar, the huge difference is in actual results. Some can't do anything right, others do everything right.

[benfooled]

yeah, and Berry Bonds didn't know to hit the ball hard for home runs until his 3rd year in the majors

[milandjordjevic]

What king must to say if he want to take a queen🤔🙄😎😀👍🏻

[dwdqifm]

Perhaps magnus doesnt like to draw, that why.

[scrumpymanjack]

I'm stunned. I wonder if Magnus knows about "en passant".

[sjay]

The guy doesn't know the rule of the square, in chess...Who is he anyway? Next thing you know he'll step away from beating up on the Botez girls and get a real job.
