Having Magnus teach someone who has never played is hilarious
Teaching the London System before "how to move a bishop" is one way to do it
That 850 ELO bro was having the moment of his life! Imagine booting up an online game, playing the London and losing your queen on Move 8, then your opponent writes in the chat: "yeah, Magnus taught me that line."
Now do Uno reverse: - Hello, I'm Starcraft 2 world champion. - Hello, I'm Magnus, I've never played Starcraft.
This is a 10/10 format. I hope it gets the views it deserves to encourage more of these
That first game is literally the widest gap between ratings of players facing off over the board in history.
"I'm not a chess teacher"......Proceeds to teach beginner through advanced chess.
The rtz magnus combo I never knew I needed. We teaching magnus how to play sf mid next?
Arteezy is like: if you play e3 before f4 your carry bishop has no space to farm and will flame the supports for the rest of the game.
I wish Hikaru was one of the people he had to teach
This is the best video that you guys have published so far, MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE!
That 850 guy really knows his squares. When I was that Elo I didnt knew squares had names lol
I mean this in the kindest way possible, when Magnus says he's not a chess teacher, it clearly shows. He doesn't check the guys knowledge of basic chess moves and his explanation of the concept is very much all over the place because he just doesn't know where to start. As the video progresses, he gets more and more comfortable and does way better with the Master player as this is what he is used to deal with. This isn't by any means a critique of his ability, it's obviously superb, but rather an appreciation of teachers and the skillset it takes to teach. It shows that being a master of your craft doesn't make you a great educator. Much love to all the teachers out there who dedicate their life to other peoples progress! Great video Team Liquid!
Carlsen explaining the whole basics of London system just for the guy to ask if this is what you call an opening is hilarious
Finding that checkmate immediately during the 1940 Elo guy was insane
Magnus is actually a much better teacher than I ever gave him credit for. This is an awesome video
This is great, but please keep the virtual board up on screen at all times. That will make the lines much easier to follow. Cheers!
rtz in front of a chess board against magnus is something that happens when a time traveller moves a stone
What an honor for Magnus to meet Arteezy. One of the Dota goats.
How lucky these guys are to be given a chess lesson by the greatest player ever
