Chesscom never fails to milk Magnus
But Wait.....💀
nah u dont get a say on this Levi
Magnus is literally your source of money and you milk Magnus like 90 percent of the time bro 😂😂
hopefully the ad revenue will still be great now that the candidates are over
The Irony
Next episode: Lie detector test with Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann...
or with Kramnik 😂.
@@TuxikCE hikaru and krammik
Machine will blow up
Hans dodges that shit like its an post game interview
😂
Magnus watches Hikaru to root against him 😂😂😂
I was expecting that tbh, not really surprising.
Haha, I'm glad that he said that. Makes me feel less of a terrible person for watching the Botez sisters only to root against them. 😂
I'm sure Hikaru takes that as a complement
@@englishmuffinpizzas either way Magnus is a fan. 😆
@@yigitkabaday3179 Why though? I can understand if it was in games where they were playing in the same tourney or if it affected Magnus. I find it funny he's rooting against him in completely random blitz games though. That's hilarious to me though, I love it.
Magnus hatewatching Hikaru streams wasn't on my 2024 bingo card lmao
That's hilarious he watches Hikarus videos just to root against him in random online blitz games. Omg that's so funny.
What a great fanfic idea he's given
Haters watching are technically considered fans
in a weird way, it's an acknowledgment, which can be reduced to a sign of respect. it's mainly funny though, because despite the overwhelming difference in their resumes, hikaru owns a little bit of property in magnus' head. whether thats truly due to jealousy, pure dislike, or genuine respect (since you would not want to see your rival win), it's hard to say.
@@be4st856Im 90% sure that Magnus dislikes Hikaru on a personal level
Magnus trying to control his heart rate to beat the test is such a Magnus thing too do !
the tester knowing that is impressive too. What a pro.
Danny said he figured he could do it, too, which is why he was amped for this content.
That why it wasn't accurate though. His heart rate was all over the place, and it was giving him inaccurate results.
@@billj4525 And that is one of the many reasons lie detectors are bullshit
@@billj4525oh really?
Nice.
Anish up next?
yessir
You happy he called you smart?
Hi gustaf
Hello Mr. 140 IQ
"Becoming one of the best chess players in the world is not easy, there are other areas where you can be worse at something and have an easier life" - Magnus Carlsen 2024 (17:28)
Words of wisdom
Being best in anything is always so hard!!
This deep tough
@@surajsahu5821 And on top of that, to maintain ur record for global legacy is even harder. Poor Magnus, why must we pressurize him so much?!
Ya.. that was rather profound. For Magnus, he really didn't have a choice though. The world's greatest in anything have something in them that allows for no other path.
"Magnus is trying to beat the test". I swear goat be doing his own things 😂
And it's not that hard either, much easier than being GM at chess. Polygraph is notorious in producing both false positive and false negative in large numbers and also highly manipulative by the examiner. The APA has very skeptical language warning about polygraphs being used for anything, and polygraph results are not admissible in most courts. Magnus is good at poker, and a good poker player should be able to consistently beat the polygraph with just a little bit training.
@@zxbc1 100% on the first part and mostly on the last part. A good poker player must be able to control their voice/tone, words, movements, gestures, show of breathing, and expressions - everything that is of face value. With a polygraph exam, more subconscious tells are introduced such as micro tics/twitches, heart rate, breathing rate, etc… things that can be harder for some to hide even with training/practice. Polygraphs are notoriously erroneous (as you stated), but unless you have one to practice with and even then… you might not be able to discover all your tells.
Levy never fails... oh no sorry, wrong channel
now he only commented that
🤣🤣
lol
😂
Relatable😔
14:24 "dont ask the question if you'll not like the answer" magnus is a menace 😂
Well the answer was a lie.
Magnus " The Menace" Carlsen
David getting punished for his lack of ambition and time management again here :p
14:10 That "Yeah ..." Don't need a lie detector to know that wasn't true.
So high-pitched.
Magnus at the end was very self-aware when he said sometimes he lies to himself. That means he gave answers that he thought were truthful, but they came out as lies - very cool that he was reflective about that.
How do you know whether it is true or not?
@@greenonions23 Some of his answers he had talked about before. You can tell that the test was pretty inaccurate on several of his answers. I mean that's to be expected. They aren't always very accurate, and sometimes they're way off.
I took it more like a "I managed to beat the test" sort of deadpan sarcasm. He told the truth but managed to confuse the machine enough for it to come across as a lie.
@@merluzacongelada5361 yeah yeah magnus always wins since he's the best at everything right?
@@frankhungch Uh? He's known for his deadpan sarcasm and it was stated that he was trying to beat the test, which is relatively easy to achieve if you know what you're doing. Now knowing all of this, if you still don't think what I said is at the very least reasonable maybe that's why you don't always win or are the best at anything.
The world wants to see the Hans Niemann lie detector test. "Did you cheat against Magnus?"
He says "No" then the other guy says "He's lying" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@artistejiro "Are the beads in you right now?" "No" "He's lying"
Chess organizers and magnus would lose face so they will never do it
😂@@Maxtor-ve5nu
"he's telling the truth, but I sense there's something more inside him"
16:35 hikaru hate watcher
I love the Bromance between Magnus and David. I wish they would do more segments like this. Imagine if they had a podcast 👀
Really? I feel we are seconds away from watching them make out in front of the fire.
Howell is so damn likable that even Magnus is charmed by him. Makes me happy knowing there's genuine friendship between these two boys.
Remember...Maggie still holds a 22 years old grudge against David
@@Zonnymaka Sharks are like that.
Yeah, they hang out and get drunk together and play chess.
He’s literally one of Magnus’ seconds
@@Tateygb Thanks for the newsflash! Being a second doesn’t necessarily imply close friendship.
Nah I feel for David these questions are way too brutal 😭😭😭
He got bodied from QUESTION 1! lololllll Levy and Danny were much more wholesome. :D
and this is why we love Magnus, pure 100% dry honesty lmao
Magnus is, and always has been, a jerk. Kindness isn’t required of a world champion, however.
@@footballuniverse6522 Polygraph results are absolutely garbage. That's why they're not admissible in court in vast majority of places and even when they are, both sides have to agree first. Also the examiner basically has a huge discretion in interpreting the result, it's literally him deciding arbitrarily within a very large range of readings. I can't believe how many people take these results seriously.
@@zxbc1 Learn a thing or two about polygraphs. if done properly, the results are over 90% accurate
Somehow you get the impression that Magnus is playing chess with the lie detector. Towards the end the professional really seemed to have a hard time interpreting his reactions. Amazing - great content!
I think in some he lied on purpose 😂
@@diwataluna true!
@@diwataluna It was all over the place. He was lying on purpose, and it was misrepresenting what he said multiple times. It was so inaccurate with Magnus in several ways. I guess that's Magnus playing with it to some degree.
There is a reason lie detoctors are banned from almost every court. They are completly unreliable.
David took advantage of this opportunity to get all the answers he always wanted to have on the way Magnus sees him 😂
Magnus " I don't care " Leavy : magnusssssss 😂
Coud you please explain why he sort of hate levy? I don't get it!
@@ilmirko he don't hate it's just they have fun banter, like teasing each other, people accuse leavy for milk magnus for views haha
😂😂😂 thanks for the reply!😊
What’s the time stamp?
@@timepass4783 12:09
I suspect Howell may be reading this, so I want to say you’re not vain for thinking you’re the best commentator, if you truly do. I think you’re the best, too.
I think Naroditsky is and most people probably think alike, but he is close.
Weaker than Giri/Svidler, less opening knowledge than Jan, worse at explaining than Naroditsky, and I personally prefer Hess. And then you also have Leko and Yasser. Nothing wrong with Howell, he's definitely a good commentator, but probably more like top 5 imo.
But he is vain for trying to beat Magnus just because he said he doesn't respect his game. He's a lower rated player, that's just common sense.
@@guckax7730 it makes sense to have no respect for a top 50 player?
@@GEM4staif you're number 1 then maybe...
Magnus: *asks any embarrassing personal question* David: "SuReLy EvErYoNe dOeS iT"
Let’s be honest, we all pee in the shower though
If you hold your pee in the shower you are a psychopath.
At least a lot of people do it
I appreciate Magnus' childish humour xD
@haydenarratoon4841 peeing in the shower is really nasty
6:49 "who doesn't tho?" *solemn voice* "that's the truth"
“I root against Hikaru, generally, almost all the time.” LOOOOLLL Magnus is so game for this and I love him for it 😂😂😂
If Hikaru took the 5 seconds required to get to know you, he would dislike you more than you dislike him. But he would not be inclined to use 5 seconds of his life that way.
@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar I love hikaru you witless dishcloth.
@@rxw5520 you love your right hand more. Then when it gets sticky you switch to your left.
Bold move to put a lie detector on the one guy in chess who's most likely to be able to beat the lie detector...
Definitely. Biggest cue here Was "trying to Beat the lie detector by Controlling his heart rate"
do you think magnus is sherlock from the bbc series? Wow
@@kickdoesdamage4365 He's pretty good at poker. Towards the end, the guy notes that Magnus is framing his answers in a way that the lie detector can't really draw accurate conclusions.
@@kickdoesdamage4365 I said "most likely", not "likely", meaning we don't know, but if anyone in chess would be able to do it, we'd probably bet on Magnus. Also, is just joke, why you haf to be mad
He was trying to beat it, but his results were everywhere because of that. It was saying he was lying when he wasn't even really lying on so many different questions.
Magnus was trying so hard to trick the machine. This is the level of curiosity of the goat of chess. Just enjoying discovering new things.
Reminds me of when he tried to trick the mentalist performer at the freestyle chess dinner
Yes i was expecting the same from him
The machine definitely was inaccurate with Magnus.
All this test is junk, just a show btw
hop off man jesus
"Kinkiest stuff I've done in a while" "That was a lie"
Lmaooo
87% sure Magnus would win a chess boxing match against Hikaru
i would say im 93 percent sure. hikaru assumed a karate stance when he was in a real fight against the chess brah lol. the 7 percent i gave hikaru is because of magnus' walking posture lol
This content is the type of stuff that’s really going to help keep pushing chess to the masses and gain in popularity! Bravo!
the lie detector guy is 3000 elo in stirring the pot
😂😂
AHAHHAHA
What a time to be alive, seeing the GOAT of chess sitting there with a lie detector answering stupid questions :D
nope, thats Gary, keep crying kiddy
Finally they're posting the video....
Lmao Magnus watches Hikaru's stream regularly and roots against him. I'm dying. 🤣
The handshake at the end grabbing Magnus fist. It's proof they are actual chess players. I've would've done the same 😂
This is actually some of the best content I've seen on this channel, I had a smile on my face the whole time
Amazing format !! Genuinely enjoyable - hope to see more of this ! And credits to Orjan Hesjedal (the examiner) who is just perfect in his role.
magnus: "do you consider yourself... the BOSS in your relationship"
I rarely comment on videos, but this one was probably the most entertaining chess related video I have seen so far. Great idea!
this was actually really entertaining and well produced. well done
i love magnus hes so calm and cool
David makes it so much fun to watch! He has a fun, lovable personality, much like Peter Svidler!
Best interview ever. Kudos to Magnus for doing it.
12:00 Hikaru’s going to love that one
Magnus's face and seriousness clearly shows whether he's lying or not
One of the best Chess-related vids, hope we get more of these!
Awesome video and just in time I was feeling really bad and this improved my mood significantly.
That guy is saying in the intro that he's mostly using lie detectors for serious stuff, which is funny because it should only be used for not serious stuff
?
@@allan.carvajal They are pretty easy to fake
@@hmm7258 Yeah, they're bs. I mean it made so many mistakes just in this video. Pretty obvious to see.
Lie detectors are not used to prove someone is guilty, they're used to make the interrogatee more stressed and thus more likely to confess fully or partially to whatever they're accused of. Works wonders in criminal cases
and none of the evidence is admissible in court
They're both really cool chess players ngl i love this series
This was incredibly entertaining! I feel like they may have overrepresented the accuracy of a lie detector test, but still great work and editing.
That was so awesome do more of these with others!!!
BRO LEFT US HANGING ON SO MANY QUESTIONS
That was far more awesome than most chess content. amazing to get real insights, instead of drawing them from what they do.
Very cool, I always got the impression that Magnus gives truthful interviews without unnecessarily insulting others, and it was true for this as well. Very level headed.
Hans Niemann, bring Hans Niemann. I want him here.
This is the best 22 minutes i watched on youtube by far. David and Jovanka are the best commentators in chess, and Magnus is the best chess player of all time. this is my unbiased opinion 💕💕
Would’ve loved to hear more of an elaboration or detail on many of these questions. Or even an extended length version of this!!!
I loved this video ! So cool to see these guys be open or being forced to be open about themselves !
Make this a series!
happy to see magnus so animated and happy. its been a while
That was such a wholesome video! Kudos to both players!
WE NEED MORE THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS
I most want to see Hikaru take this lie detector test and all his i dont care BS. But i know he will never take it.
Cause it's not true. But it's a great coping tool that helps him perform better so I understand it
It helps him with anxiety and frustration I guess
but why do you so much if he cares or not ? lol , it tells me you at least thought about it couple of times to come up with this analysis that he will never take it , its kinda embarrassing lol
@@fsdfksdkfoplsdjfasdf3262 caring enough to reply to people who are commenting to stop caring, you've nicely played yourself...
@@boohoohoohoo well i wouldnt care usually but i did care now because i saw an easy target , when i saw you use "BS" and "he will NEVER take it" i just felt second hand embarrassment and came to tell you about it lol
Thank you gotham chess
they following his footsteps
Ohh wait, now when I think of it. this all makes sense, they just wanted Levy to promote the trailer of this video so that it reaches more people than they can reach themselves
@@siddharthsinghjadon7252shhhhhhh
I can’t believe someone with your username actually got the creator like
lol
Anish is gonna be so stoked. I agree that he's razor sharp.
One of the best videos seen for a while. Would like to try it my self. Think you can learn a lot of you self.
One of the best videos ever (like every Magnus one)
This was incredible. Magnus made me laugh so many times. Also the analyst was incredible.
levy really said "Chesscom never fails to milk Magnus"
Pretty sure he's being funny and implying he does it too.
It’s clearly a joke how do you freaks not understand sarcasm 😂 get off the internet for once in your life
Hes joking man
He s joking about what? About the fact that the biggest chess creator out there built his fame on nothing but milking and no real educational chess content, without any remorse? Ah…ok cool joke bro @Al-fm8kh
@@alexenache4216 he does have real educational chess content, and the joke was that he’s very aware of how much he milks magnus’ name. It’s intentionally contradictory but idiots like you don’t understand sarcasm
awesome concept, and awesome video. You guys rock
Having Jason Statham monitoring them makes it 100x better
WE NEED MORE OF THIS
Pretty funny. Could tell over the years that magnus likes watching hikaru. The way he would talk about him in interviews when asked about him and magnus love for chess. Hikaru said too Magnus would be watching candidates absolutely because his love for the game
Damn!!!with Magnus every content is fun !!!!"""it just hits different
„Don‘t ask the question if you don‘t like the answer.“ … so true!
This is way brutal than any celeb lie detector video in youtube
Vsauce?
0:52 Bruh the contrast.....
do more of these, this was very funny
one of the most entertaining videos ive watched for sure lol.
I actually love a lot of the top players. Anish, Fabi, Hikaru, Ian ... would love to see segments on them all as well.
Want more of such content with Magnus ❤🎉
This is really good. Very insightful.
I love that the guy can actually tell when the person really doesn't care. Imagine if they tested Hikaru with that.
14:04 He says thanks for the compliment completely degrading the lie detector guy 😂😂
The lie detector guy very likely isn't a chess player, I suspect the question was specifically worded to exclude him.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't deeply follow Chess but this was an amazing video. Watching 2 intellectuals tied up to a lie detector test being blunt and honest, it was hilarious. I liked that they didn't hold off with weak questions and really asked hard hitting stuff with fun questions. I also would respect Magnus much, much less if he answered "No" to not resenting him or not thinking he's the GOAT. When you reach the 0.001% strata of enough competitive field with males, if you don't have that mindset, you will never become a multigenerational talent like Magnus. Eg: Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Magnus, etc. These people are *obsessed*.
No question is tough for Magnus, Magnus is tough for the question
Got me smiling all the way throughout the video, epic content!
Great video. DO MORE OF THIS...
There are a few polygraph examiners that float around youtube for these types of videos but this one has got to be one of the better ones from a viewers perspective.
If ‘have you ever cheated in chess?’ Was asked, it would ruin their entire chess career 😂
0:52 Once Magnus heard "murder cases" he knew he was guilty for killing Alireza. His face 😂
I love the fact that they don't use John Grogan as the polygraph examiner. Nearly every KZheadr uses John and he's already outed himself as being a fake. He'll change his answers for content. So I'm glad these guys are able to make genuine content
“I wasn’t talking about your professional career. I meant when you were a junior”. Wow. Take a moment to appreciate the elegance of David Howell, in a charming manner he wanted to make clear for the public that these embarrassing moments happened when Magnus were a kid. I love this guy, true gentleman!
Anyone who thinks magnus peed his pants as an adult or something similar is kinda delusional tbh.
Wow you really can’t understand any bit of that joke huh he was joking that magnus did it when he was an adult not a kid
Would be better if this was done after the Candidates. Also want to see more of these with other top 10 players😉
This was brutal.....Admire how brave they both were.. Kudos.
gotta admire his self-assessment. his answer on his world championship decision is very satisfying to see validated (even if the accuracy of polygraphs is mainly an entertainment conceit at this point)
Can relate to the slang term question. My friends often use the term gaslit or something for a while now and I dont even know what the heck it means. I just often nods when I hear it 😂
Gaslit? That's not a real word lmao
It means that you are deliberatly decieving someone or many people either by misrepresenting something, leaving out important information, framing something in a dishonest manipulative way. You get the drift.
It's okay! Victoria Coren-Mitchell didn't know how to ride a bike either. She learnt it in one day when filming Taskmaster :D
Magnus’ terminator like reactions to certain questions he knew would elicit a lie were amazing
I might watch this 20 times, Magnus laughing is the cutest thing thing ever 😭
Lie detector test of hans nieman would be great.
He wouldn’t agree to it lol
