Magnus Carlsen says NO to castling | Blitz Titled Arena, April 2021

This is a 3-hour blitz chess tournament (Lichess Titled Arena April 2021) I provided commentary on. I followed the games (beginning 4 minutes into the video) of World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen, who played under the account "DrGrekenstein" for the first time ever. Magnus Carlsen decided to have a little fun by not castling in any of his games. I streamed the tournament at twitch.tv/ChessNetwork. Lichess's Blitz Titled Arena, April 2021 is held for titled chess players only, namely Grandmasters, International Masters, FIDE Masters, National Masters etc... Its $1,000 prize pool goes to the top 5 players, with 1st - $500, 2nd - $250, 3rd - $125, 4th - $75, and 5th - $50. This tournament began on April 3rd, 2021 at 3:00 PM EDT.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
