The craziest thing happened today. I was at the Albert Zero Park, just playing some chess,
and all of a sudden, Magnus Carlsen comes in, the current world chess champion.
I could not believe it, but I was able to get one game against him. So, guys,
this is my one game against Magnus Carlsen. Is there any chess I could play? I'm streaming right
now. Yeah, sure, you can play. All right, guys, we're gonna do this. Do you want to say hi to
the stream? No. Okay. We've had so far Radiabov and Anish. They're the two super GMs. We did say
hi to the stream. We did, yeah. Yeah, that's true. It was different. I'll say hi if I win.
If you win, you will say hi. Okay, we'll get a hi, guys. Okay, good luck. Good luck.
Like this? There we go. I'll play d4, my main openings.
Yes, good. I love d4 too. Oh, Catalan. Nice. Okay. Wait, was it b5 now? No,
why am I playing a super theoretical line? This is not super theoretical. Is it not? Okay, good.
Thank you. Wait, how does this go? Can I do this? Yes, you can. Okay, it's castle.
Oh, boy. This is not easy. Go here.
I'm trying to play in style. You are playing in style. Oh, nice.
This is not in style. That's very much not in style. You said now that you play d4,
but when I asked you in the World Chess Championship, you said e4 was better than d4,
now that I'm thinking about it. No, but if I was only going to play one move, no? Oh, okay.
Yeah. Even if it's your main opening? It's now, but it could change.
You're doing a little bit too well for my liking.
Okay. Don't be scared. Yeah, don't be scared.
Let's go here. Okay, no. Now, no? Maybe this? I want to be able to say I got an endgame against
Magnus, okay? Now I'm safe. That's okay. Yeah, for you it was the opposite.
Play bishop b5. Oh, bishop a4. I was going to go king h1.
Just not loose. I'm going to try and win on time now.
But I have more time than you. Tactics, tactics, tactics. Look for tactics.
Okay, look for tactics.
Okay, so you can't take there because I have check.
Wait, did you say this that I was going to lose on time?
Okay. Okay, now. I'll just, I'll just keep it safe.
Not looking for tactics, yeah? I did not. What was the tactic?
Ah, because 6, the rook is hanging. There's page 3, there's rook e8.
Yeah, okay. Which I initially missed.
Oh, wow.
No, is this losing if I just go back? Yeah, but it's also losing if you do other things.
Clearing up.
Oh, I want to go up, but I can't do that. I like what I see.
Can I do this? No.
You can. Always safe. There were other moves, but I'm just going to stay safe.
Okay. Okay. Oh, that's pointless, actually.
Yeah, this is a good defense.
I don't like my rook there.
It's fine. It's not attacked at the moment.
No, not at the moment, but...
Your knight is worse than the rook.
Oh, this I like.
Now my pieces are finding some good squares.
But still, there is no mate.
Yeah, no mate still.
Oh, there is a mate.
Oh, yeah, that's the mate. That's nice, okay.
I'll let you do the mate. Good game. Thank you.
Will you say hi chat now that you won?
All right, thank you.
