Hello Agad. If you have not already, can you feature the crazy game between John Nunn and Igor Nataf played in 1999? It is one of the greatest king hunts I have ever seen. Thanks!
@@ndnd7614 true, he should have at least drawn but at the same time if we see he is not playing best moves. He is kind of resisting himself from playing best moves.., may be don't want to show preparation. Let's see how he plays candidates.
Do chess grandmasters know that "its was at this moment a completely new game " ? Do they immediately know that they are facing a new game ? for example at this game at move 11
At this level, and in classical, I'd say white usually knows, as they prepare their lines based on these huge databases. Giri is considered the best (or among the best) GM in preparations, so he's almost always aware. To black is normally harder, as there is not much space to propose stuff at the begigning of the game. They have studied tons of lines, and know when something is unusual or rare, but I imagine not necessarilly to the point of "never been played before".
can someone explain me, on "12.h3 Ne7 13.Bf1 c6", at this moment, he said not to exchange the bishop, as white bishop is awesome, but then tucking it on the backrank. Is that bishop still awesome ? (if yes, how?)
What I like is how Agad casually inserts that line into any video where its played but not in a way that tries to be funny. This means that only true initiates get this ^^
Radja went 4/14 in 2013’s Candidates. He is now 1/5 in the Classical portion of Norway Chess. I’m not sure what to expect from Radjabov in the Candidates anymore, I hope it won’t be worse than his 2013 performance.
@@P.sherman45 Unless I’m missing your sarcasm here, hiding his prep by losing is certainly an “interesting” move. There are ways to not show preparation without losing, btw. That said, Fabi did have a terrible Tata Steel in 2018 before winning the candidates. I guess you could say he was also “hiding prep” back then. We shall see.
2013’s Candidates had interstellar line-up, and I would be far from interpreting it as bad performance. But, nevertheless, I don't think he has will to win nowadays.
In this tournament, he is testing the other players, their preparations and lines. In an interview he said that he had to play the last elite tournament before the candidates just to see how different things has become in the other players' strategies
I say again the c6 knight should be allowed too stay on the board against the Berlin because the e pawn still can't be captured by back for the the same reason it can't be captured against Morphs defense
No, I don't enjoy the "pause the video" moment, because I hardly ever (maybe 5% of the time) can guess the correct move. It's humbling and discouraging!
Lol but more seriously, it's a pity Anish is not a candidate, I like Radjabov but the difference of level in classical speaks for itself... (Karkajin also a beast, but it doesn't seem as he is going to play)
I wouldn't call Karjakin a beast. He qualified in the candidates one time and lost in classical to Magnus, when almost every year after the classical portion was all draws with the exception of Nepomniachtchi.
@@dstreetz91 Are you okay bro? Fabi was the only guy who drew all the games against Carlsen. He faced Vishy twice whom he defeated in the Classical section itself. Karjakin was the closest to winning among all the 3 challengers Carlsen faced and was the last person to beat Carlsen in a WC match.
I think radjabov is not preparing well for this tournament.So, he is loosing now. But he is naturally best player for ever... 😎😎😎 Good luck to "radjabov" for next matches... 👍👍👍
