Comment on When do "brains beat brawn" in chess? An experiment

Comments

There was a period where Magnus Carlsen would drink on his streams and be drunk while outperforming his peers. So, even drunk Magnus would beat you at chess - most likely.

Drunk Magnus carlsen can easily beat anyone below 2000.

Drunken Magnus taking over technically lost position with the 2400+ opponent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Kz7bo5tKE It's hilarious to watch

But the 2400 blunders the queen in the opening for seemingly no reason? Then Magnus gives it back to be nice? I don't know what's going on there, maybe they're both hammered.

I knew about this video but didn't notice opponent is 2400+

Below 2000 is not exactly what I would call "his peers" though.

More like 2650
