    Magnus the type of guy to forget how to forget

    I honestly think he sold his soul for this

    Did you know that Google is actually Magnus in disguise

    Something doesn't stricks me as a good fella from this Magnus dude.

    Good thing he still remembers to breath, dress and speak eloquently

    Impressionante. Realmente é um gênio!

    I dont remember what I had for my lunch today

    How did he deduce Zapata Anand with only the Ruy Lopez on the board? There's like 50,000,000 games played with that opening. Did I miss something?

    Who was the genius to put an azerbaijani flag under Kasparov? He had to flee Baku in the 90s to avoid being killed for his Armenian origins and never went back, nothing to do with that flag

    Would’ve been interesting to pick some random, insignificant game. Almost all to players would know the games here.

    Krikey! He probably has some form of hyperthymesia.

    why are there known setups? why arent they all unique? is a random move really that hard to make its own? this is crazy and i love it

    My brother has a memory like this, he remembers every game of every World Series, Superbowl, concert he's seen, everything we did as kids. He triggers original memories from when I was 5. He's a concert-level cello player. He has perfect pitch and is the kindest, most humble person I've ever met, He's also full-fledged paranoid schizophrenic, voices and all.

    Scientists just have to analyse his brain cause he is the chess player with the best memory and also the most creative one.

    HOW. HOW CAN HE KNOW WITH 4 FCKIN MOVES BRO. It's M-E-N-T-A-L.
