The Most Overpowered Chess Opening Ever Invented

21 Comments

1. I don’t like chess. It seems like an entirely deterministic game. Am I wrong? I genuinely would love to be wrong because it would mean that I could just develop my skills more. But as far as I can tell, chess basically punishes any single mistake and negates any opportunity for redemption, save for the opponent making an equally foolish mistake, which doesn’t really satisfy the problem

2. I play a variation in 3 min 1000 rated where I push h4, h5, and if they push kings pawn in response I go d4 and premove c3 nxc3 with ideas of bf4 similar to a London line. Black tends to overplay into the pawn on the right allowing me to castle queenside, trade off the dark bishop, and generally be just hard to attack

3. Magnus just gets away with stuff. Cheers James.

4. Not even a good game ,let alone "the most overpowered chess opening"…game full of blunders

5. Manganese is the goat

6. So many blunders….

7. "the plow" actually even confuses some of the bots.

8. Levy is somewhere mad he didn't eat off Magnus sooner

9. I think black played quite well most of this game, although perhaps she was a little slow, so she blundered in the end. At the end the position became so complicated you need at least a few minutes to calculate all the lines properly.

10. I don't mind the constant Magnus videos, but you need new screenshots for the intro. It's getting repetitive.

11. Thank you for this content. Another great chess match covered. The way you explained the opportunities available to black versus what was played, kinda shows how the mind reacts to alarm and pressure. Magnus, as always, cool as ice.

12. "They're coming down like Space Invaders." Crap's sake–you owe me a coffee and keyboard!

13. knife f5.

14. KG8?? 😂

15. Like merciless Army Generals of the past, the end justifies the means.

16. It is called the boomerang opening by Carlsens team (since the pawn is thrown out to the side but comes back to haunt the opponent in the end game – just as a boomerang comes back for the "kill" after throwing it to the side). A plow would be something like an inverted V-shape. You are probably thinking (since to are showing the B-roll video) of a blade? Plows and blades are totally different.

17. how can this be epic when magnus made so many mistakes? his opponent just made more…

18. That line was so incredible more precisely I should say incredibly instructional in a readily asorbable fasion ❤

19. In reality, this was very poor play. His opponent could have won.

20. No first move is a bad move, things go bad after that 😊.

21. I'm a simple man, i see epic cheese i click
