ChessAnalysisChess Personalities
We are now diving deep into the legendary rise of Magnus Carlsen as he became World Chess Champion. And for those who want a dedicated focus on this fascinating journey, I’ve created a special playlist that highlights the key moments that led Magnus to the top.

Magnus Carlsen's Road to World Champion – A New YouTube Playlist

For fans of Magnus Carlsen, I’m thrilled to introduce a brand-new YouTube playlist, Magnus Carlsen: Road to World Champion – a dedicated series covering his incredible journey. Starting with his triumphant performance in the Candidates Tournament in March 2013, we will relive every critical match and highlight the pivotal moments that led him to his historic victory over Vishy Anand in November 2013.
In this series, you’ll see how Magnus showcased his incredible tactical genius, including the unforgettable moment when Anand, in a bold kingside attack, allowed Magnus to calmly promote a queen on the queenside – a defining moment that secured his place as world champion. It’s a must-watch for anyone interested in the psychology and strategy behind the success of a chess legend.

Lichess Study for Game Analysis

For those who want to dive even deeper into the strategy behind Magnus’s gameplay, I’ve created a Lichess Study that mirrors the games I’ll be analyzing in the video series. This is an excellent opportunity for players at all levels to explore the positions, evaluate key moves, and learn from one of the greatest chess players of all time.

What’s Next? Covering Gukesh’s Challenge for the World Title

After I finish covering Magnus’s world championship journey, I’ll be taking a short break to prepare for my next exciting project – a new series focused on Gukesh’s rise as a challenger to current world champion Ding Liren. Gukesh, one of the fastest-improving players in modern chess, has experienced a meteoric rise from a rating of 2500 to over 2800 in just a few years.
Starting on November 20, I’ll be covering the Gukesh vs. Ding Liren match, where we’ll witness whether Gukesh’s remarkable talent can lead him to the world championship title. Gukesh’s climb is truly unprecedented, and given his rapid improvement after COVID-19, he’s poised to make history as one of the youngest and most successful chess players ever.
