While in NYC for the Play Live Challenge & Chess Works, Magnus did a timed, blind simul in front of thousands of people. There was no order, and Magnus had 1/3 of the time. Watch and see how it all went down.

  • He had more issues with the language barrier than beating his opponents
  • If this was a movie, no one would've believed this was actually possible.
  • "Without a clock I can do a lot more than three boards" this man is a beast
  • (Me playing chess) stares at board intensely for 90 seconds “Is it my go or yours?”
  • 24:36 When Magnus told player two "you had excellent position, this board was difficult," the guy said thank you like he got reduced to a little boy getting a gold star for good behavior 😂
  • It makes me wanna cry how smart he is. Absolutely a living legend!
  • @chetanaik
    When you are unable to track the 3 boards that are displayed on screen, but Magnus is doing it blindfolded.
  • For anyone that doesn't know, the guy who introduced Magnus is also a Chess grandmaster. I hope that explains the size of his head.
  • @Raventooth
    I can see Mags mentally adjusting each piece in his mind before the games begin.
  • He's just built different. I can't imagine doing this with checkers on a single board, nevermind chess with 3 boards. You're a legend my friend.
  • I like how the opponents lost in three different ways: getting checkmated, resigning, and losing on time.
  • @azure8490
    16:50 "It's more relevant that the position is lost." LMAOO that joke was gold and the silent crowd who didn't understand just made it better 🤣
  • @Wawawa60
    the board 2 player really kept up well, when his time ran out the position is eveluated close to 0. The move he makes after (fxe6) puts magnus .9 up but still really impressive.
  • @LLPTV
    "Board 1, c4." "Bomb has been planted."
  • Imagine two chessmaster playing chess without board and pieces
  • 20:05 is just so stunning how he is blindfolded remembers all 3 Boards in his Head and also cracking Jokes on Stage about how his opponent is Check mate on next move :D
  • I like that all three games had completely different dynamics and Magnus dominated all three nevertheless. Board 1, he dominated a player who played too passively, resulting in a brutal attack that eventually would result in mate or heavy material loss. Board 2, he played positionally and wound up with unstoppable center pawns. Board 3, he saw a nice tactic to provoke weakness from black (who had played well before that) and then mated the guy.
