I was watching Jeffery's stream the other day (raided from watching Hikaru stream) when he played a 10 game blitz run with SinisterMagnus. jeffrey lost like 7.5 - 2.5 or something but jeffery used his personal contacts trying to figure out who it was. Jeffrey was amazed how good SM was the whole time. The only thing he was fairly sure of is that it was not Magnus himself. Mostly had to do with the fact that jeffery's contact knew where he was at the time and was not playing chess. Not solid proof I guess but interesting though..

Yeah, it’s really possible that it’s magnus after few drinks, he even mentioned in lex fridmans podcast, that he would play more creatively after few drinks
@yossarian nahhhhh hahaha I get my ass whooped when I’m high too. It’s more fun to play UTI but I get my butt kicked by anybody with 8 brain cells between their ears
I feel we Norwegians drink like most people. I personally like most beers, some spirits. I know that wine is pretty popular, and the moonshine is incredible
am i crazy ? what is happening? earlier the thumbnail hhad 2 magnus with devil horns and now its just magnus on a white background Levi is this a ploy to make us go insane? am i already insane....i don't know
Carlsen is an Eminem fan and Eminem has a song called "Evil Twin" and refers to Slim Shady as his Evil Twin. I'd wager that account is Magnus alt account when he's drunk. LMAO.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Magnus on an alt account that he likes to use for more attacking fun games. He seems to play solid positional games for competition but going ham with nasty attacks just seems like a nice way for him to cut loose and let off some steam lol
Maybe he wants to try different play style, or studying Alphazero style games. I got that Alphazero vibe in opening, sacing a pawn for attack, and going down after the king, whoever this person was, it was pure savage.
Prediction. SinisterMagnus will be a full functioning human imitating engine and this is how the creator is telling it to the world. They'll wait until they get more hype and release it as the best cheat detection machine ever
@Tom Van 't Hoff what if magnus and sinister also played using incog (one on incog the other one on normal chrome/whatever website) very good tactic to throw people off
We drink beer, a lot of pepsi max, drinks mixed with red bull, and whatever wine our state alcohol monopoly store sells (Vinmonopolet) given we made the tight opening hours. Also our tap water is clean, well tasting and probably always a better choice than any Magnus water sponsor
Was just curious and waiting for gotham to upload my day doesn't end without seeing a gotham content thanks for entertaining as well as educating us man big fan from india❤️❤️
You got me with the math. I was immediately like "25!" and you said "27" and I just double-taked staring at the screen for a hard second and made me doubt myself.
For the first time in two years, I'm here in 10 mins Lots of love from India. Enjoying your Caro... You're my favorite, Levy. I literally watch your every video night at 2 after all my studies and work is done! You're absolutely amazing ❤
I want to believe it's magnus exploring different antagostic play styles to set off early imbalances rather than his typical squeezes to gain a slight advantage into an endgame. Like a boxer attempting grappling or something to up their game. Let that story be true.
@YT7 yeah athough I'd imagine you're discouraged from playing against yourself since you can inflate your stats so it's _likely_ someone else but that's not conclusive I guess
@flak Yes i’m pretty sure that’s what they meant (the two accounts played each other). That being said, even if that were the case it wouldn’t disprove anything
@GothamChess has positively converted couple comments regarding him being negatively judgemental on low-elo players, into helping those low-elo chess players via his new Instagram campaign. #geniius #appreciate 👍🏻
While on the topic of sounds/no sounds I'm a big fan of the brilliant/good/inaccuracy/blunder stickers, but not of the more "weird" ones. Love your stuff.
I feel like no matter how lopsided the game may seem at times, if there are enough pieces on the board, there is an equally devastating series of moves on the other side of the board, the problem is just to find them. I think they are usually called brilliancies ? To me they are just turning the position around at the best time. Like in this game , the pieces and placement were favoring Keymer, Magnus understood this and traded off the main pieces linked to his attack and turned the board into one that favored the placement of his pieces. Of course it helps to have a thorough understanding of pawn structures and the optimum ways to use minor pieces together ie bishop +rook or knight +rook. I am going to name my next child Magnets Gnarlson. just because I can!
I think someone should make an analysis of SinisterMagnus games to see if he truly did cheat by comparing his plays to chess engine accuracy. Like how people did for Hans.
No sound for commentary is fine. I personally use them for playing, but in this scenario I think no sound is best. Many others do commentary with no sound.
What a wonderful surprise. On the world chess champion's bday, he found his long lost brother. Carlos Magnussen
@DaSportsFan 212 oh lol, youre called dasportsfan
@Kotsos Manolis that’s why I said it lol
@DaSportsFan 212 kevin magnussen is a danish f1 driver so i agreee
Magnussen is more of a danish last name so I would say Magcarl Nussen
On the other hand i don’t know
The Brother speaks for himself
Have you seen SinisterDanya?
Hahahaha😆
@thatfunnyguy💀 Thanks for keeping the bots alive. 🤦🏻♂️
Fr
Thanks you for keeping a 2 month old saying alive for like whom you clearly crave.

@Jakob Roggy “I mean, it said I wouldn’t believe it.” -Thomas
Lol
I guess it's just matter of time when he adds stuff like 🤯😱👀 in the title.
Guess he doesn't make fucking enough money with his content.
Lmfao
When you are so sure of something then you suddenly have doubts perfectly describes this
Yeah, it’s really possible that it’s magnus after few drinks, he even mentioned in lex fridmans podcast, that he would play more creatively after few drinks
SinisterMagnus doesn't have the GM title so maybe it's Levy combined with the beads.
I love when Sinister Magnus said "it's sinisterin' time" and sinistered all over the board
@zAlfredo "It's Morbin Time" comes from a tweet making fun of Morbius, it's been modified as needed since
I HAD ENOUGH OF THESE
STOP
@Fernie Canto 😭😭😭😭
I love when dead meme said "it's dead meme time" and deaded all over the memes.
I really love the addition of the icons over bad / key moves. Thank you!
Great video man, it felt like watching a movie. Congrats and thanks!
I like to think it’s someone who started getting extremely good but didn’t want to play competitively so he just decks everyone for the memes
I'd love to imagine it's Magnuses drunk alter ego.
I thought of Cagnus Marlsen almost instantly. Truly humorous.
Hbday for Magnus. The monster of the chees!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGNUS
as a german i love how you pronounce "Zwischenzug" and "Zugzwang" (not in this video) it somehow sounds cute
I just want to say that I've never seen Magnus and Evil Magnus in the same room
😧
Magnus probably made an account when he only played drunk haha. #1 worldwide is sober magnus and #2 is drunk magnus 😂
@yossarian nahhhhh hahaha I get my ass whooped when I’m high too. It’s more fun to play UTI but I get my butt kicked by anybody with 8 brain cells between their ears
drunk magnus is the funniest to watch
@Nick V cope
Im not a great chess player by any means but I have an account to play on when I'm drunk/high too. Normal account elo is around 1600, drunk one? 200.
You'll have seen SinisterMagnus have you seen SinisterDanya?😂
Kh2+, Kg3 are moves that I'd normally play lol but dang sinister Magnus is indeed sinister!!!
That's not the evil twin, that's Drunkestein
No it's Carlos Magnusson
@Wayne Humphries
But... but Stine is a girl's name. At least in Norwegian.
@Wayne Humphries I didn't spend eight years at Drunk University to be deprived of my title 😂
That’s Doctor Drunkenstine 🤣🤣
18:37 “He didn’t go Black Friday shopping in time… that’s checkmate”
I feel we Norwegians drink like most people. I personally like most beers, some spirits. I know that wine is pretty popular, and the moonshine is incredible
am i crazy ? what is happening? earlier the thumbnail hhad 2 magnus with devil horns and now its just magnus on a white background
Levi is this a ploy to make us go insane? am i already insane....i don't know
there should be a mistake in move order at 8:14, black should play e5, if black plays a5 he bludners the d4 pawn
Can you do coverage of the scc, I've been holding back from watching because I thought you'd cover it eventually
This gotta be Magnus's drunk alter ego
Imagine that's Hans Niemann 💀
Carlsen is an Eminem fan and Eminem has a song called "Evil Twin" and refers to Slim Shady as his Evil Twin. I'd wager that account is Magnus alt account when he's drunk. LMAO.
studies and work is done! You're absolutely amazing
You videos really helped out just did my first brilliant move afther the guy insulted me and call me hacker in German 🥲🤣
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Magnus on an alt account that he likes to use for more attacking fun games. He seems to play solid positional games for competition but going ham with nasty attacks just seems like a nice way for him to cut loose and let off some steam lol
The account is closed now. SinisterMagnus closed him himself. However there is SinisterDanya too now😂😂😂
That was my first thought, that it could be him trying out alternate approaches to the game.
@Nick V he told me its him actually
Maybe he wants to try different play style, or studying Alphazero style games. I got that Alphazero vibe in opening, sacing a pawn for attack, and going down after the king, whoever this person was, it was pure savage.
@Nick V ok bro we get it, chill
have we seen Magnus and Sinister Magnus in the same game together? :P
Magnus can also be named as "MagnAssasin" :D
I like the thought of Magnus playing weird and agresively when drunk
Lmfaooo that Alex Caruso joke was underrated
Pretty sure it actually is magnus when he's tired of playing endgames and just wants to be as aggressive as possible.
It’s probably magnus expansion account where he plays without worry of elo as much and takes bigger chances.
25:09 i waiting for Argentina match to start, thanks for great video
Prediction. SinisterMagnus will be a full functioning human imitating engine and this is how the creator is telling it to the world. They'll wait until they get more hype and release it as the best cheat detection machine ever
I would guess it's Magnus; Another GM probably wouldn't be allowed to make an account with Magnus in the name.
If it is magnus on another account, he has truly begun his villain arc after withdrawing from the world championship match
@Máximo Fernández and why is that-
Mate, he can blindfold simul multiple individuals, he could handle 2 screens/games. We cant comprehend how good these guys are.
@Tom Van 't Hoff different devices? Simul?
@Lololololol I do not think that Magnus Carlsen can be in two different browsers at the same time!!!
@Tom Van 't Hoff what if magnus and sinister also played using incog (one on incog the other one on normal chrome/whatever website)
very good tactic to throw people off
23:42 “I shove the knight backwards” Levi is Magnus evil twin confirmed
@Qwerty and Azerty HAHAHAHA
Donkey!
Leela
Larissa
Lyve
probably slowly but surely he will immediately target it
Magnus with a third eye 💀
I really liked the sounds but if other people hated it that much that's okay lol
The Alex Caruso shoutout made my day!!!
Props on the advert I almost bought it
I am a bit new to chess, so can someone explain how could an A4 pawn take B4 pawn at 8:29
@Rob Thanks!
It's called en passant, and its when a pawn moves 2 squares from its starting position and ends up side to side with one of the opppnents pawns
We drink beer, a lot of pepsi max, drinks mixed with red bull, and whatever wine our state alcohol monopoly store sells (Vinmonopolet) given we made the tight opening hours. Also our tap water is clean, well tasting and probably always a better choice than any Magnus water sponsor
I wonder if Cool Magnus has got a stream.
Magnus is the Wilt Chamberlain of chess. Sinister Magnus is him playing left handed.
Pretty sure that was Larry Bird that would play left handed
Oh it's like DrNykterstein (sober) and DrDrunkenstein in lichess, both accounts of Magnus Carlsen. Magnus likes to get drunk and play online chess.
I like the sounds. Maybe you can have them but make them a bit quieter?
@John Slinningbut.. then I don’t hear levy
@John Slinning They wouldn’t be able to hear him at all lol
@John Slinning That's the smartest thing I've ever heard
I think he should include sounds. Those who don't want them could just mute...🤫
My theory is that Sinister Magnus is just Magnus after he's had a couple years to develop the crazy
Magnus looks lost and afraid in all his pictures now. Like a pretentious bully that is insecure inside.
Was just curious and waiting for gotham to upload my day doesn't end without seeing a gotham content thanks for entertaining as well as educating us man big fan from india❤️❤️
You got me with the math. I was immediately like "25!" and you said "27" and I just double-taked staring at the screen for a hard second and made me doubt myself.
@Query 25! And 25 are two very different things 😂
@Query R/Woosh
@Verlax ? 25 was right
@Verlax i hate you.
25 factorial is so far off dude
"Something strange is going on in the chess world." Who you gonna call? Levy!
But here’s the question have you ever seen evil magnus and magnus in the same place?
It's totally Magnus, thats what he lives for
45 seconds online. Here we go, love u Levy 🙋🏻♂️
Happy 32. Wait until Magnus hits 64.
Hi Levy, doubt you’ll see this, but a typical alcoholic beverage of Norway (besides beer/wine etc.) is akevitt. The water of life!
Well looks like me and Magnus share the same birthday :D
As a Norwegian i can say that most of us drink beer as a normal alcoholic beverage.
Sinister Magnus is making the sounds on your computer. Also, I would love to see real Magnus dance.....
6:20 what happens after a5?
That's drunk magnus for sure !
Sinister Magnus = Hans Nieman :) Wouldn't that be beautiful?
For the first time in two years, I'm here in 10 mins
Lots of love from India. Enjoying your Caro... You're my favorite, Levy.
I literally watch your every video night at 2 after all my studies and work is done! You're absolutely amazing ❤
Levy, we know it's you 😀
16:40 in this condition why don't you do rook to c7
No human on earth wins this game. Except magnus carlsen . That line is cold af
Does levy have a twitch stream ?
Watch it be hikaru doing "beat magnus Speedrun"
I actually prefer the piece sounds because it helps me pay attention to the video
Magnus is the Alex Caruso of chess 💀 Gotham never change
I want to believe it's magnus exploring different antagostic play styles to set off early imbalances rather than his typical squeezes to gain a slight advantage into an endgame. Like a boxer attempting grappling or something to up their game. Let that story be true.
Could be
@Jimmy cool people above said otherwise and I haven't looked at their history. Thanks
@flak That account never played against Magnus. It did play against Wesley while Magnus was in another tournament; so it is not Magnus.
@YT7 yeah athough I'd imagine you're discouraged from playing against yourself since you can inflate your stats so it's _likely_ someone else but that's not conclusive I guess
@flak Yes i’m pretty sure that’s what they meant (the two accounts played each other). That being said, even if that were the case it wouldn’t disprove anything
Hey levy, I like the new style of including the symbols. It really helps my brain stimulate.
We want more from sinister magnus
Happy birthday to Magnus!
Oh yes the evil brother, Carlos Magnussen.
Carlos Magnuson
Carlus Magnossen
Imagine the account being owned by Hans
@GothamChess has positively converted couple comments regarding him being negatively judgemental on low-elo players, into helping those low-elo chess players via his new Instagram campaign. #geniius #appreciate 👍🏻
0:34 Alex Caruso is the only appropriate match for Magnus. Truly goat vs goat.
Yesss no move sounds!
Sinister Magnus = Magnus + Tactical Beads
While on the topic of sounds/no sounds I'm a big fan of the brilliant/good/inaccuracy/blunder stickers, but not of the more "weird" ones. Love your stuff.
@TheNintenBits If you dont like the sounds for some reason, atleast everyone can agree the check sound is fantastic.
I'm exactly there with you
Agree with all of the above
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I like the chessboard sounds.
When you mean by "sounds" ur talking about when a piece moves right? Because i prefer it tbh.
Slowly but surely he will immediately… 😂😂😂 I love this guy
aww i loved the sounds, made it feel more like chess, as they're sounds we're all used to
Speak for yourself. I mute sound on every chess site. I hate the sounds.
Totally agree
Now this is the type of thumbnail-title combo I can get behind. Well done!
That "Happy end of November folks" caught me off guard 💀
7:45 it’s your cursor clicking we can hear
I feel like no matter how lopsided the game may seem at times, if there are enough pieces on the board, there is an equally devastating series of moves on the other side of the board, the problem is just to find them.

I am going to name my next child Magnets Gnarlson. just because I can!
Sinister Magnus should be an animation series.
16:00 we drink beer, lots of it😅
If the account suddenly disappeared it was probably someone using an engine and just trolling everyone.
I think someone should make an analysis of SinisterMagnus games to see if he truly did cheat by comparing his plays to chess engine accuracy. Like how people did for Hans.
12:10 Double checks are really powerful, why wouldnt you want to be one?
lmao
Happy birthday magnus
Magnus is definitely the lebron or chess, because there’s debate of if he’s the best but he’s no doubt top 2
No sound for commentary is fine. I personally use them for playing, but in this scenario I think no sound is best. Many others do commentary with no sound.
