I honestly feel like John is the perfect bridge between Magnus and lower rated players. The way he explained to Magnus what lower rated players think of Qe8 was right on the money and I think Magnus didn’t understand that at first.

The biggest thing I got from this video is the difference between someone who has a lot of coaching and teaching experience vs someone who is the world champion. Magnus here really struggles to dumb things down and explain the smaller things that more basic players and viewers need to see and hear (like John explains about why Qe8 is temporary and has its plans). Magnus can show you moves but not explain how the moves and ideas tie in together. Just because your a fantastic player, does not mean you can be a good coach/teacher!

Its a treat to hear the champ talk about his thought process. Thanks!

The sveshnikov is a sicilian that I use a lot, And although I don't know all of it, I was most of the games starting well in the opening when I had the chance to play it, now I'm sure this video will help me understand it better and learn more, thanks!

I feel like this is a cameo appearance from Magnus and John on a Star Trek episode.

It's good white had to run the opening theory up until knight B4 quickly, at this stage it's crucial for white and does promise an attack. Which is the best way to attack blacks position might be Kasparov queen side castle variation much risk for black I suggest.

Wait, you telling me Magnus Carlsen isn't born with 2800+ ELO rating?

In 10 years and Magnus isn't anymore the Mozart of chess, he will be the Elvis of chess! ❤

What do Danes and Swedes typically do in the Sveshnikov?

[chenzenzo]

Why wouldn't you immediately attack the king and support your position.

Hey Magnus!! I've been corresponding with your father and trying to plan a trip to Norway to watch a tournament, such as the Scavanger tournament this year, ... Are there ANY tournaments where you do a MEET AND GREET!!!!????

[greennin]

[TGx]

Magnus is just too intelligent to explain Chess to the lower rated players 😂 he’s the man though
