Magnus Carlsen Explains How the Knight Moves

[BWeManX]

"The horsey generally moves to capture the juicer."

-Hikaru, probably

[carl]

Generally moves like an L but in blitz games moves like a W

[gonzalotapia]

Magnus himself told Andrea to ask this question as a joke, and Andrea delivered. This is why Magnus looks so surprised.

[zada]

Thanks Magnus this helped my games out

[amannov]

Andrea-"How does the knight move?"
Magnus - "that's a good question"😂😂

[aaronjohn]

1 of the best questions at the press conference better then the usual predictable stuff.

[jjmcn]

Kind reminder that when this happened people were calling it disrespectful and horrible because they dared to have a joke at the press conference, and people wonder why most people have the impression of chess being elitist

[Xbotto]

Unironically a better question than the other ones being asked

[domhyrule]

Love his smile there, its always fun wyen friends show up to your things

[theleafsbloodyflash]

It's even funnier if you know that Magnus asked her the exact same question while he was playing with them (Botez sisters) to help her find a difficult move, and then people go on to throw a hissy fit in the chess community...

[philosophiabme]

This moment started a domino effect that reaallyyy loosened Magnus up publicly. I for one like it a lot

[bobeyay]

Ian be like: I could have also answer that difficult question

[Avicenna]

I see. So THAT'S how the knight moves...

[r.davidsen]

Actually, it's a horse. A knightless horse, in fact.

[OnionasHell]

“That’s a good question“

Common Magnus, Seriously 😂

[niernguyen]

'that's a good question' 👽

[slosher]

Remember how hysterical people were over this?

[bruhmovement]

"Thats a good question, it generally moves like umm the na-"

[jorgea.]

Wow, now I understand why is he a Grandmaster

[wavemaker]

We learn something new every day. Tomorrow, I will learn how a bishop moves.
