Guys thats obviously the Pinkies Up opening
Magnus understands those pawns better than any GM. They are tricky to everyone
How about calling it the “Troll” …
I think he got bored so played a terrible position for the lolls
I think Magnus' plan is to sift out all the 'book-learners' who just memorise historical games and openings, and find an opponent who really understands the nuts and bolts of Chess like he does
I think I invented that opening when I was 7, and didn't have a clue how to play chess. If only I'd known then that I was thinking like a world champion…
The A and H pawns are usually advanced a square in most games anyway, so Magnus just got that ritual completed early. He temporarily lost some initiative.
Magnus opponent seemed to miss a lot of opportunities and he had such a great position you can tell these other GMs feel that Magnus pressure it looked like even the engine would say he was better at points but even before watching the end I know he’s going to blow it Magnus the end game master with his passed pawns Thanks for the Game James and of course I was right 😅
Your videos are great thank you. Like the speed of your games, not too slow or too fast and pausing at right moment

The 'Space Invader Drop'
I think I know why Magnus is playing dubious openings. First, he is bored and wants to have fun. Second, he wants to take his opponent out of book lines.
It’s called the Space Invader after the classic retro game
Maybe it's just me but I'm not actually excited about games where Magnus plays poorly in the opening and gets dominated and only draws or wins after that by sheer luck that his opponent missed the winning blow.
I'm more excited about Alpha Zero or Leela games where they teach us deep and strong things we haven't really seen in chess before.
Magnus is what you get if Karpov and Kasparov made a baby.
12:05 "you make a baby girl" 😂
everytime you say "make a baby girl' I LOVE IT- mans pioneering proper & respectful chess lingo 😤and yeah- Magnus simply CAN keep getting away with it- love the vids as always king makes me happy watchin your channel grow- DESERVED, just chessbrah & this bloke for me ❤️i watch levy in incognito sometimes too…… 😉
It's called the Carlsen defense
At some point in time, AI will just default giving advantage position to Magnus 😂
a6, h6 are cat ears. a5, h5 are bunny ears.
"The Viking ship" I have to say this was more daring than usual from Magnus. The eval bar thought he was dead lost.
It looks like a bull´s horn
I like the name 'bunny ears' lol
banger game, banger commentary.
Should call it the "Devils Horns"!!!
“Devil Horns” sounds more appropriate
Bro you should be on commentators panel for chess games
Just amazing review 😂😂😂
Should call it the 'Ant Opening' for black and the 'Termite Opening' for white.
Its more about getting the opponent out of what they know. Love this style of play.
No talk about toes today, James? Poor man toes, rich mens’ toes – does it really make a difference? 😳
Magnus could have potato chips for half his pieces and still win!
This recent series of Carlsen videos are niche and seriously entertaining. Sincere congratulations – there is not another chess commentator covering this ground, and certainly not in the way you are covering it. Maximus Decimus Meridius: "Are you not entertained?". The answer is "No" – i.e. we are, in fact, entertained.
I had a drama teacher at school who used to let us swear in our performances if it was authentic and appropriate, but he always said "Learn to use the language properly, then abuse it at your leisure".
Magnus is now abusing chess principles to gain an advantage because he has mastered the game.
I don't think this rewrites the 'Principles' as Magnus plays openings that probably only he can salvage. It's like he intentionally handicaps himself so his opponents have to play from intuition instead of preparation. Bad news for them especially in rapid games.
Bad opening and bad early game from Carlsen ends in a couple of missed plays and eventual capitulation from Pranav. Carlsen is just toying with these people and seeing if they crack
The infamous “Dinner Plate” opening
Magnus appears to be doing what Bobby Fischer should have done. Bobby eventually hated chess because of too much hashed-over analysis of standard openings and too little playing chess. Magnus is breaking things away from analysis and simply playing chess.
the Bat'leth opening
The opening is called the AHC
The interesting thing about the opening is the pronunciation. Leave it open ended to have each person determine for themselves how to pronounce it.
Always happy to see a video from you man! This recent string of lateral openings by Magnus have been very enjoyable to watch.
Namesuggestion:
the devils crown
Because it is a devilish opening, no matter If you fail or success. And jt looks Like a crown on a head.
If you fail you can blame it on trolling, If you win, you just underline your dominance.
Call this opening 'The Maggie'
How about "The Horny toad"
Yes. We get it already. You are impressed by his opening moves. Can you move past that now?
How about "The Goat Boat" ?
The Creepy Crawly should blates be called the "AH!" opening.
When one has mastered the rules, one can break them.
My 6yo daughter watched her first Epic Chess video ever! “That’s why they call it epic – this game is crazy!” 🤣❤️
Epic > Mr. Beast
THE PARENTHESIS – we don’t see that singular noun often
