Magnus Carlsen Invented A New Chess Opening

Magnus Carlsen Invented A New Chess Opening – The Plough! Magnus Carlsen repeatedly played pawn to h4, which I’m calling the plough, in Titled Tuesday Chess, 7th November, late tournament on chess.com. Alireza Firouzja was his opponent in this epic game of chess.

  1. 7:35 why that f7 pawn didn't move to threaten White's knight?

  2. That fake ending got me. Haha! I think I gasped out loud

  3. So you lied he did not invent any opening because oh yeahthats impossible LOL

  4. I could also beat Alireza with the Plough …

  5. That's Mr Plow. That's my name. That name again is Mr Plow.

  6. I thought a/h4 was the quintessental bad move with no saving grace, is this really a thing i feel more like hes doing his usual trolling like the bongcloud

  7. “Pro” is also a Greek root. It’s the preposition for “before” in Koine Greek.

  8. Love when grandmasters steal my strategy

  9. Bored with the norm so he makes a storm liken two a woman's scorn!!~*

  10. To end up with the Royal Fork😂😂😂

  11. It's not possible to invent a new chess opening, all thinkable openings are already there – they simply just need to be discovered.

  12. @epicchess2021 am I wrong but at 6:35 in the video, instead of moving the pawn to H5 you could just move your queen to F7 and have checkmate right?

  13. I got my 1st win, 1st time using the PLOUGH… Like the COW for some reason when you don't play a certain way it throws people off for some reason and they make mistakes.

  14. This opening is not new, we use to play since my first game from 97

  15. These were the types of games my dad and I would play… really mixed up, tight board with multiple hot points of coverage. Reminded me of trench warfare a little. Also he loved opening with rooks, but knights were the ones to watch out for. I have always been a bishop and pawn kinda guy.

  16. i did that first😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🔥🔥🔥🔥🐺🐺🐺😎😎😎😎

  17. Reportedly he came up with this opening after a night with your mother.

  18. I enjoyed the video but at 2x speed

  19. Dude that was my opening move when I was first playing chess LoL he didn't just make this move up.

  20. Hey. You got to upskill your Greek and Latin or not make comments like the one at 3.35. There is no Latin in "προφυλάσσω" it's all Greek. Great analysis by the way.

  21. thank you for changing the color of the chess board when you are discussing hypothetical moves so my smooth brain can follow along

  22. I don't play chess but an entertaining channel is an entertaining channel

  23. just move the pawn after the opening or?

  24. I invented this opening and I don’t even play chess.

  25. TFW you've accidentally played a "new" opening without realizing it because you also didn't have the knowledge to take advantage of it. 🤣

  26. "it's called the plow"
    pushes pawn and then castles

  27. Guys like Magnus can find prophylactic moves but I only make the amateurphylactic ones

  28. Lol The Plow vs The Cow 😅

  29. this is one of the most brutal finishers I've ever seen. That was crazy backdown; he shoved him in the cabinet

  30. I have been using and developing this opening since the 90's, and so have many, many others.This isn't even close to being "invented" anytime recently by anyone.

  31. hmm with h4 early it would look like some of Kasparov's h4 moves except his h4 comes mid game. with the h4 in early the classic response is to play in the center when your opponent plays on the wings. strange that a GM did not already take the center until mid game.

  32. Prophylactic is entirely Greek "pro" in Greek means "pre" in english (the Latin pro has the same usage as pro in modern English e.g pro life ) and phylaxis means guarding so guarding in advance /preguarding

  33. Great video. My only gripe 🙂 prophylaxis comes from προφύλαξης. So nothing roman about the pro part… as much Greek as the rest of the word means before/fore etc. Sorry for this somewhat pedantic comment but I could not resist 🙂

  34. The funniest part about this opening is that for decades people were saying its the worst move to possibly make.

  35. I always read the advice that if your opponent opens on the outer 2 no matter what side, you play like you're white.

  36. "Plus it rhymes with cow"
    Me thinking that was the point.

  37. I do this except with the knight out as well

  38. I am reminded of the "Buzz Saw"

  39. Check out your classical languages. προ (pro) is a very common Greek word — Latin & Greek are cognate languages, but mixing Greek & Latin morphs in a word is frowned upon.

  40. What good did opening with H4 do? One wud think that its purpose was to get the castle into the game. But he ended up castling & not entering the game by the H file. Let's see if we can find a standard opening sequence following H4 (best moves).

  41. First time here really liked your content delivery ❤you just earned a sub

  42. I don't play chess. Why couldn't the king move down to g6 at 10:53 ? He would be safe and could take those two horses
