This is Magnus Carlsen, the number one chess player in the world and five-time world champion.
He is so good at the game that he almost always beats his opponents easily. Sometimes, his wins
take hours, but in this video we will look at his fastest wins ever, where he destroys his
opponents in seconds. This is Sergei Karyakin, a super grandmaster from Russia. In this game,
Magnus was playing with the white pieces against him, and he opens with one e4. He develops the
knight and bishop and the game quickly becomes a Ruy Lopez. Magnus has played this opening many
times and knows it well. He develops the knight and already has a slight advantage, but now,
the game will become a bloodbath and Magnus will go straight for the black king's throat.
They shuffle the pieces around until Magnus has had enough. Magnus retreats his bishop,
and Sergei uses a lot of his time. But when Sergei moves, it turns out his move was a mistake.
Magnus attacks Sergei's bishop, and Sergei's best move is to just capture the bishop.
But instead, Sergei retreats, which is another mistake. They shuffle around the pieces and
Magnus gets ready to launch a huge attack on black's exposed king. Magnus puts his rook on
the open file, and you can already tell Karyakin is going to lose. They trade a few pieces, and
Magnus gets his queen into the attack. It's already over for Sergei. Magnus captures a pawn
and a few moves later, he wins an exchange. And, after Magnus plays f6, Sergei resigns,
because Magnus was threatening queen g7 check and then queen e7 mate. They shake hands,
and Magnus only ended up using just over a minute of his time. In the next game,
Magnus plays against fight master Espen Eggdestien. Magnus opens with 1 g3, and it becomes
a king's fianchetto opening. Because Magnus has 500 more rating than Espen, Magnus only starts
with 40 seconds on the clock to make it fair. Magnus develops his knights and strikes at the
center with c4. Espen spends a lot of time to think and Espen retreats his pieces and Magnus
takes the center with his powerful knights. Magnus is locked in. Espen makes a mistake and
Magnus brings his queen into the attack. Then he brings his rook. Magnus is ready to slaughter
black's king. All of Magnus's pieces are lined up against Espen's king. Magnus sacrifices his
knight to bring his queen closer so he can deliver mate. Espen thinks a bit and tries bringing his
to defend the king. But Magnus puts his rook on g6, and there is no hope for Espen. Magnus takes
the pawn on h6 and after the rook takes back, Espen resigns. When you look at the clock,
you can see it took Magnus 18 seconds to win, which is very impressive. If you are enjoying

game, Magnus takes on Bill Gates, one of the richest people in the world. To make it fair,
Magnus starts with only 30 seconds on his clock, but what he does next ends up shocking everyone.
Bill Gates is playing with the white pieces, and they start the game by developing their pieces.
Bill thinks for a while and defends his pawn with his bishop, which is a mistake. Magnus brings out
his knight, and they trade on d5. Magnus's queen is now active. Magnus starts shuffling his pieces
towards the kingside to start an attack on Bill's king. This position is already scary for white,
and Bill makes the mistake of castling straight into an attack. Magnus places his bishop on g4,
creating a double pin on Bill's knight. Bill is already losing. Now, Magnus brings his knight
into the attack, and after Bill takes on g4 he can bring his other knight as well.
Finally, Bill takes the knight, and Magnus mates Bill on h2.
He managed to defeat Bill in only 9 moves, and it took him just 11 seconds.
In conclusion, Magnus Carlsen's fastest win of his career was the win against Bill Gates,
while only using 11 seconds to mate him.
