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
