It’s no secret that Magnus Carlsen has virtually no respect for any of his fellow chess “rivals.” From Hikaru Nakamura to Fabiano Caruana, none of the other top players even stand a chance against Magnus when he is playing his best chess. But there are some players that Magnus has such little respect for, he’s willing to open with “troll” openings designed to mock and humiliate his opponents. And this perfectly describes how he feels about GM Vladimir Kramnik!

In this shocking game, Magnus Carlsen opens with 1…h6, 2…e6, and 3…a6 vs GM Vladimir Kramnik. From there he actually continues to push exclusively his pawns for several more moves, before finally being forced to play a more “normal” game! This strategy worked to perfection in this game, as by move 8 Magnus was already in the lead, and from there he sunk his teeth into poor old Vladimir and crushed him with his trademark 100% machine accuracy!

Make sure to watch until the end of the video to see the incredible conclusion to this unbelievable game!
