Chesscom never fails to milk Magnus

Next episode: Lie detector test with Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann...

Nice.

Magnus trying to control his heart rate to beat the test is such a Magnus thing too do !

Magnus watches Hikaru to root against him 😂😂😂

Magnus hatewatching Hikaru streams wasn't on my 2024 bingo card lmao

"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)

14:24 "dont ask the question if you'll not like the answer" magnus is a menace 😂

Levy never fails... oh no sorry, wrong channel

The world wants to see the Hans Niemann lie detector test. "Did you cheat against Magnus?"

"Magnus is trying to beat the test". I swear goat be doing his own things 😂

14:10 That "Yeah ..." Don't need a lie detector to know that wasn't true.

16:35 hikaru hate watcher

Howell is so damn likable that even Magnus is charmed by him. Makes me happy knowing there's genuine friendship between these two boys.

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.

Nah I feel for David these questions are way too brutal 😭😭😭

Magnus " I don't care " Leavy : magnusssssss 😂

Magnus: *asks any embarrassing personal question* David: "SuReLy EvErYoNe dOeS iT"

I love the Bromance between Magnus and David. I wish they would do more segments like this. Imagine if they had a podcast 👀

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.

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...

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!

David took advantage of this opportunity to get all the answers he always wanted to have on the way Magnus sees him 😂

“I root against Hikaru, generally, almost all the time.” LOOOOLLL Magnus is so game for this and I love him for it 😂😂😂

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.

6:49 "who doesn't tho?" *solemn voice* "that's the truth"

87% sure Magnus would win a chess boxing match against Hikaru

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

"Kinkiest stuff I've done in a while" "That was a lie"

Amazing format !! Genuinely enjoyable - hope to see more of this ! And credits to Orjan Hesjedal (the examiner) who is just perfect in his role.

Lmao Magnus watches Hikaru's stream regularly and roots against him. I'm dying. 🤣

I rarely comment on videos, but this one was probably the most entertaining chess related video I have seen so far. Great idea!

This is actually some of the best content I've seen on this channel, I had a smile on my face the whole time

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

The handshake at the end grabbing Magnus fist. It's proof they are actual chess players. I've would've done the same 😂

this was actually really entertaining and well produced. well done

magnus: "do you consider yourself... the BOSS in your relationship"

Finally they're posting the video....

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.

i love magnus hes so calm and cool

What a time to be alive, seeing the GOAT of chess sitting there with a lie detector answering stupid questions :D

BRO LEFT US HANGING ON SO MANY QUESTIONS

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.

They're both really cool chess players ngl i love this series

12:00 Hikaru’s going to love that one

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.

Thank you gotham chess

Magnus's face and seriousness clearly shows whether he's lying or not

This was incredibly entertaining! I feel like they may have overrepresented the accuracy of a lie detector test, but still great work and editing.

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!!!

That was far more awesome than most chess content. amazing to get real insights, instead of drawing them from what they do.

0:52 Bruh the contrast.....

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.

That was such a wholesome video! Kudos to both players!

I loved this video ! So cool to see these guys be open or being forced to be open about themselves !

levy really said "Chesscom never fails to milk Magnus"

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*.

happy to see magnus so animated and happy. its been a while

That was so awesome do more of these with others!!!

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

No question is tough for Magnus, Magnus is tough for the question

This was incredible. Magnus made me laugh so many times. Also the analyst was incredible.

One of the best videos ever (like every Magnus one)

Make this a series!

I actually love a lot of the top players. Anish, Fabi, Hikaru, Ian ... would love to see segments on them all as well.

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.

WE NEED MORE THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS

14:04 He says thanks for the compliment completely degrading the lie detector guy 😂😂

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!

I love that the guy can actually tell when the person really doesn't care. Imagine if they tested Hikaru with that.

Anish is gonna be so stoked. I agree that he's razor sharp.

WE NEED MORE OF THIS

This is way brutal than any celeb lie detector video in youtube

“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!

Want more of such content with Magnus ❤🎉

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.

I might watch this 20 times, Magnus laughing is the cutest thing thing ever 😭

If ‘have you ever cheated in chess?’ Was asked, it would ruin their entire chess career 😂

I love the fact that they don't use John Grogan as the polygraph examiner. Nearly every UKpostsr 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

00:54 Magnus: do you really think murd3r cases are more serious than chess?

awesome concept, and awesome video. You guys rock

one of the most entertaining videos ive watched for sure lol.

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

Would be better if this was done after the Candidates. Also want to see more of these with other top 10 players😉

Everyone talking about Magnus, but can we talk about how HUMBLE AND HONEST David Howell IS???? It takes a lot of guts to admit I LOVE THIS MAN!

0:52 Once Magnus heard "murder cases" he knew he was guilty for killing Alireza. His face 😂

Life's too short to openly pretend your wife isn't the dominant one between the two of you 🤣

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 😂

do more of these, this was very funny

Major missed questions are 1. Who do you think is the second best chess player in the world now? 2. R u and hikaru friends? 3. Do you think you are the chess goat 4. Do you follow gothamchess? 5 which is ur favorite youtube channel? 5. Do you think world number one in ratings is greater than being the reigning world chess champion? 6. Who is ur least favorite chess player in top 20 chess players. 7. What do you think of garry kasparov as a person 8. Who is the toughest opponent sing could face in the world chess championships. 9. Do you think u think the world chess championships winner should be directly seeded to the next year candidates? 10 do you think candidates should have playoffs? 11. Do you think fischer is mental?

The lie about beating hikaru in a chess box match had me rolling, lol

The first question Magnus tried to outplay the Lie Detector, sadly was caught 😂😂

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)

He is trying to beat the test...This Guy 😂

You could have done this without the lie detector and it would have been the same interview
