“The Trent line, named after a terrible player” - Carlsen vs joppie2 (GM Jorden van Foreest) #4/8

Chess videos with explanatory arrows!

Carlsen is trolling Lawrance Trent in this one. Those two have a long history of trolling each other :)

In May 2020, the World Champion of Chess Magnus Carlsen played a series of blitz games on chess.com under the username MenuGarden during a free Twitch stream session.   / maskenissen  

Due to storage limitations, recorded videos on Twitch are removed after several days, but you can still find parts of this stream on YouTube:

This stream was meant as a prank and Magnus is obviously trolling a lot, which makes the games even more entertaining.

The entire session has deliberately been streamed with the chess24 overlay covering the chess.com clocks and players usernames. That’s why we can only see the usernames of Carlsen's opponents at the end of each game.

Magnus Carlsen: "This was a one-time thing. The plan was to make this account the highest rated on the site and then delete the account"
