About

I'm a 2,000 Elo online chess player from the United States. In 2024 I got back into online chess after a long break from the game, and went from 1,100 Elo to 2,000+ Elo in just 7 months. Now, I help serious online chess players destroy their old rating plateaus, learn how to think like a top 1% online player, and skyrocket their online rating to 1,000 - 2,000+ Elo (just like I did myself). On this channel I share my insights from: -Analyzing hundreds of professional chess games featuring Magnus Carlsen and other top grandmasters -Playing thousands of chess games at the 2000+ Elo level, including how I actually "think" during my games -Teaching hundreds of online chess players who often gain 100 - 400+ Elo in their first 30 days with me ...And more. My mission is spread the joy of chess with as many people around the world as I possibly can, and to inspire others to reach their true potential as online chess players - just as I strive to do myself.

This game took place in the 2022 Miami FTX Crypto Cup, and in the game Magnus plays his most disrespectful opening yet vs Hans! In the game Magnus opens 1.a3, and then continues to make a series of bizarre choices including Kf2-g3, g3-g4-g5 attacking on the kingside, and more! Hans does his best to maintain his composure and the solidity of his position against the never-ending onslaught of Magnus Carlsen’s bizarre brand of attacking chess, but in the end it was too much and Magnus tortured Hans Niemann into the 5th dimension! Make sure to watch till the end of the video to see the insane conclusion to this unbelievable game! 🔔Thanks for watching!
