The sound of the device rubbing on the surface is so grating. Reminds me of polystyrene pieces rubbing together.
That sandpaper sound is too much. Can’t do ittttttt
from 3:33 wasnt there Bh8 into Qg7 possible for a couple of moves? i mean its not instant mate but black has serious troubles defending that or am i missing sth
There is a set up for blindfolded, there could be a set up for this type of play. Suggestion for name: "checkers"
Why you always does with magnus, i think hikaru is underrated champion player 😊
Are y’all going to delete any comment criticizing the product like last video?
they have both high memory
this blindfolded chess but you can semi see the pieces
the second match was more of a moving-fast-on-an-oversized-chessboard competition than an actual game tbh. Even though they sure could've made it a game if a certain person moved quicker, but sure that time increment often is brutal.
"I know you're guessing but sometimes you guess right" is such a flex lol.
Please use foot pedals for the clocks next time. There was more chess to be played, but they're wasting precious seconds getting to and from the clock. The go pieces are ingenious though.
Now we know why chess players lose calories
As far as I have understood David actually won the second game not Magnus…
Watch the clock, at one point it moves closer to Magnus' side..
At 3:33 isn’t white just winning with Bh8? The eval bar doesn't seem to reflect it…
now do hikaru please. he's talkative, must be fun.
They can play blindfolded… They can even play blindfolded 960! What sort of challenge is this?
STOP UPLOADING THE VIDEOS AND FIX YOUR SERVERS FIRST . THEY LOOK LIKE SHIT … FIX IT ASAP
What I’d like to see is him try to win a game without his king.
For those saying everyone can play blindfold chess over 2000, try doing it against another super GM… and winning.
0:28 move 1, oh no
I am 1200 i can beat up to 800 elo bots Blindfolded i think Magnus can play 2000 rated players blind folded with ease
David Howell is such a wholesome person. It's always fun when he is around.
no way, one of the lichess pieces design but in real life
These airthings guys are smart man whoever is in charge of the marketing is awesome and brilliant!
I might have been able to follow the position if they didn't constantly cut away from the board every move..
David is such a fun person to play with
as a lower rated ELO I don't understand why 2:27 is a blunder
But… it doesn't change anything for Magnus…
'Chess isn't a physical sport'
Chess: 4:55
I thought it's gonna mean that Magnus will have his pieces randomly shuffled like in the Fisher game except he won't even know which pieces are where. I don't even know if it makes any sense the way I got it, anyway this one I could even do and I'm barely 1500 rated.
7:29 me everytime i play chess.
I feel like this is exactly how normal people see the game. The don't understand anything really.
This must be much much easier than blindfold.
Its always David and Magnus doing buzzard stuff like these, they should marry at this point
Ilove how magnus isn't the world champion anymore and we are still looking at him as the world champion
David, you should be playing in the British Championships instead of clowning around with Magnus!
Yes. This is significantly easier than blindfolded Chess, and most GMs can easily do that. And Magnus is way better than most GMs…
Bh8?
"I really wanna win" and so do many grandmasters, but you're playing against Magnus so that's not an option
The big board was definitely more of a challenge than the pieces all looking the same.
buddy, he wins chess games without half the pieces.
so this is essentially blindfold chess except you get the benefit of seeing the board and piece positions…Carlsen should find this quite easy.
David Howell trying different gimmicks to beat Magnus and fails
They burn't some calories in that game
For a dude who can play multiple people while blindfolded, and win, this game is just a damn inconvenience of having to move around so much. SMH.
I don't understand what is going on at 3:33. Seems like Carlsen is checkmate or close to lost after Bh8…
This is literally such a stupid video… Magnus can play 10 different people all blindfolded, — and this is about playing 1 person, — with seeing where pieces are on the board?…
Silly title.
Dude played checker pieces in chess
Howell is a beast
