At the Sohn Investment Conference in New York, which raised over $4 million dollars for pediatric cancer research and treatment, Magnus Carlsen defeated three challengers simultaneously while blindfolded and timed – first time ever attempted. Check out the full video here:
[SHORT VERSION] Magnus Carlsen Blind & Timed Chess Simul at the Sohn Conference in NYC
Magnus is the best!!
Short version.. that was risky
The long version shows off his exceptional talents much better.
It's not fair, he had white pieces in all games!!!
WoW … pretty cool. Very impressive. Good job.
That's insane.
This was amazing. Bravo!
1.14 'Board 1: black played b6'. Magnus be like 'lol wtf?'
the narrator sounds a bit like chessnetwork doesn't he ?
long version better, by far…
1:36 "That was risky"
1:47 "Mate on next move"
Magnus knows what charity efforts are .
Any thoughts on timing out the bots (cheats) on chess.com? Gets old when people use programs to play rated games online. Chess is a practice of ethics.
Nice video! Im Josh and I just thought I would share this video with you. I have been trying for almost 4 years to start a nonprofit organization that will determine the cause(s) of mental illnesses, which is present in nearly 20 million Americans, including myself. This is very personal to me and has been a dream or "calling," if you will of mine for a long time. Please support this dream by sharing and/or donating. My
YouTube video contains three additional sites for complete information and how you can help. Thanks so much for your time and have a great day. Oh and can you subscribe to my YouTube channel. .I'm working on doing a bit like every week where I take a topic and dissect it to show people if it's fact or fiction, if I get enough subscribers. Thanks a ton! Joshua

Hi Chris Flowers thank you for playing a Variation of "The A.R.B Chess System" Nearly 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDnJJYqCtHw …
vilken jävla kung du är Magnus!!! Helt otroligt herregud altså.
Una causa que valió la pena jugarse sobre un tablero de ajedrez.
cool vid. its always risky to castle queen side
I am not so bad in chess, but playing blindfolded seems like a science fiction to me. Does he actually "see" the pieces sort of materialized in his head or is it some kind of different mental picture?
Najdorf play 45chessboard
Amazing !

Estimated rating of the three challengers?
Very impressive! Glad this was done for a great cause!
The way the blindfold was placed is suspicious.
I love you Magnus!!! <3
Jerry! my favourite chess mentor 🙂
this is the most amazing thing i have ever seen. and i've participated in a simul against Vivek Rao vs 30 people. but he sure as hell wasn't blindfolded.
he looks like annoying orange

Dear chess community: Please stop supporting doctors. Cancer research is FAKE. Doctors ignore the soul reasons for sicknesses.
Very impressive! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx-1qSOhWFo.
Film "The Game" by Maria Bondar (kid's chess)
why that stupid lady can't even wear the blindfold on him properly
I can fuck a woman blindfolded
Wanna know how?…. Wopner. Yeah…. Yeeeeeeah…. Wopner.
Actually, why would he turn his head all the time like that if he was blindfolded? Would be more impressive if he just sat there looking bored, especially looking down.
i thought magnus was the black man bcoz of the head
IQ200
That was sick
Masha Allah
When exactly will matt damon be cast to play him in a movie about his life story
absolut crazy and not real
Fucking insane
I feel like a chimp knowing that people like Magnus exist.
How is this possible
