I know Magnus speaks English well, but could there possibly have been some translation/expression mix up. Great delivery for a standup deadpan comedian, but I'm not sure humor was Magnus' intent.
Rather than smiling and laughing, trying to act like some woke and politically correct smart ass type of guy who goes and swears by the studies, why not get your head out of your ass and just agree with what he's saying. At least Magnus himself is better than everyone else, especially during the date of this video recording.
Job interviewer: "What would you say is your greatest strength?" Magnus: "I would say my greatest strength is just that I'm better than everyone else." Job interviewer: "True. When can you start?"
no matter how good you are there will always come someone better than you. Magnus is very badly prepared to accept that reality. It is not a matter of if but when. Stepping away from Chess to avoid that realization is how he is currently handling that.
i dont follow chess but it seems these guys are basically the goku and vegeta of the chess world. they push themselves hard, terrified that the other will surpass them.
I think he was going to say "we see tactics others don't and make good moves faster" and then he realised that is the same as "just better" so he said it first. I like his bluntness. Mincing words would just be saying the same thing in a more foolish way. Well played honestly.
Im pretty sure what he means is that they are both more well rounded because they are both incredible speed chess players too whereas the rest of the top classical players don't play bullet or blitz as well.
I know people think he's arrogant, but he isn't, he's just correct. Listen it's very hard for people to comprehend what level they actually play at, but at that level there are maybe 10 people in the world that can truly appreciate how much better these 2 are than everyone else at chess. So it's not arrogance, it's just a statement of fact.
Yuji and todo be like
He just wanted to put into kindest words "guys, we just are build different" how humble of him
Dude house is tiny
played chess for 2 years and beat him in unraked, pff xD
well this did not age well for hikaru
My man here saying they are the Gojo and Geto of chess

Carlsen was shocked to find out Hikaru was good at chess.

He is right
Job interviewer: "What would you say is your greatest strength?"
Magnus: "I would say my greatest strength is just that I'm better than everyone else."
Job interviewer: "True. When can you start?"
He is 100% correct. Now question why you find this strange..
I can beat them
He's not wrong
gg skill gapped
skill diff
love how straightforward he is.
this didnot age well
From Magnus the most obnoxious shit ever is in reality just a fair point.
no matter how good you are there will always come someone better than you. Magnus is very badly prepared to accept that reality. It is not a matter of if but when. Stepping away from Chess to avoid that realization is how he is currently handling that.
chess should do best 2/3 each match. Then you get to see how players adapt and strategize after losing/winning
Vidit showed him true path
So you’re telling me all I need to become a super gm is to be “simply better at chess than the others?.”
Translation: Get gud.
Capablanca was better at chess than Magnus.
He's not much of a wordsmith but i think he's just saying they are more naturally gifted with talent.
I don't have a problem with this. It's the truth.
i dont follow chess but it seems these guys are basically the goku and vegeta of the chess world. they push themselves hard, terrified that the other will surpass them.
"We just built different"
"Were not like the rest of you Were stronger Were faster Were better, we are BETTER!"
Who are the others? Just everyone in the fucking world?
AI: hold my Nvidia latte.
Is his name really Hikaru? He doesn’t look Japanese
He just said Git Gud? That's fair

They both look a little downsy..
Hikaru probably got an erection hearing his crush talk about him like that
White supremacy is quite difficult to hide
I mean they are probably 10 steps ahead whereas the rest can hope to be one step ahead of them.
Im pretty sure what he means is that they are both more well rounded because they are both incredible speed chess players too whereas the rest of the top classical players don't play bullet or blitz as well.
Abbott and Costello, meet Magnus and Hikaru!
just be better bro
"I AM BETTER! I am better."
such a magnus thing to say
A giant dwarf and a bearded asian walk into a bar…
Vegeta hairline. Princes of all chest player.
Translation: Real recognize Real

Best chess player in the world and his mic is backwards xd
Our main strength is we are better than everyone else 😂😂😂😂
"My strength and his strenght is that we play better, and he was playing faster and better than me".
The hell kind of new brain malfunction is this?
