Fight to the end - Carlsen vs Grischuk | Shamkir Chess 2019 

AlphaZero sacrificed pawns to get pieces on better squares. Carlsen did the same.

To be fair if you don’t accept them it’s probably even worse. A pawn up you at least have something to suffer for!

Hi Sagar, is there any rule that you can watch only one analysis video? :). Quality takes time, my friend.

Ah but just like the best food the wait is always worth it. Please Daniel continue to publish when you are ready .. the wait is a joy and the result never disappoints

@VA Hemskin So the comments, let's say in this thread, is any "deeper" than those over at Aga you mean? The question is, why limit yourself? This two channels often analyzes moves/games different, in that way I get an even better insight into to the game in focus. Also, apart from a chance to learn great chess history over at Aga, the various "chess themes" like the on going Capa series, is also nice. And, it helps to have some humor as well. I can only speak for myself, but I don't limit myself to one or two sites to enjoy chess on various levels.

@@raghuveermukkamalla783 yes!I agree but imagine you watching Mr Kings video without knowing the result.That is my point ! Just a suggestion though..I feel bad that he isnt getting the recognition that he deserves.The passion with which Mr King presents chess is unmatched.So he can try this if possible:)

People do not want to get brains involved. Beautiful lines that we can see here just burden them. Quick and shallow is in fashion.

King's analysis is vastly superior, but give agadmator credit. He puts a ton of effort into his videos in terms of researching photos, stories, and presenting daily challenges to his audience, and presents stuff at the level that casual chess players can learn something from. And he does it consistently every day. All that earns subs faster than the occasional analysis that King provides. If King were inclined he could up his production and grow faster too.

agad has a dog

Quality over quantity

@@abj136 Agreed. im subbed to both and i use agadmator's channel as a "chess highlights" channel. his consistent output means you can always see the latest games in any tournament

He never got joy from computers. He got joy from over the board chess. I do think he slumped into sadness from the computer analysis. And though I do not think he studied AZ much, I think he has taken to heart how the "human" (though inhuman) way AZ plays - and how it breaks the brute force calculations by sacs for space. The other interesting thing in Carlsen v.2.0 is that he seems to have stopped over-reaching. If harmony was a thing at peak v. 1.0 it is even more so now. Thirdly - his joy with online rapid - and now even "banter-chess" is so clear after the WC match. One can sense the joy being back. And, the curiosity coming back. As if the pure talent is somehow freed again. It reminds me of scientific talents (that I have witnessed a lot). Flying through the lower grads- and getting a depression/lack of motivation during the PhD when one must hunker down and just learn the hard tools. Forever thrown towards oneself. Feeling every bit of creativity being drained from the soul with exams and thesis. Until - suddenly it is freed - the joy coming back - and one can feel inspired and finding creativity back - when the tools of the trade and the talent once again start to work together instead of just being a "memory-bot".

@@glacieractivity That was my thought exactly.

@@glacieractivity You make some good points. But regardless of the reasons behind it, Carlsen's chess has certainly had some new life breathed into it.

Definetly yes. it is a good source.

well, carlsen is in good shape, not caruana. that's all

To be honest, Caruana and Karjakin have never played at "Magnus" level. Magnus at his best is simply a cut above every other chess player. Currently, I think that Aronian in peak form is probably the only player that comes even close.

@@zxb995511 I think Ding Liren can be a tough customer for Magnus, as well. He rarely loses and seems to be able to play any type of game at the highest level, also in time scrambles. (Obviously all top grandmasters can play all kinds of positions very well, though not all seem to be as "all-round" as Ding.)

Ding is the draw master to end all draw masters.

@@AlonsoRules He went on to win a rook versus knight endgame just 3 days ago. Many other players wouldn´t even try that.

it reminds me Richard Réti. he once said, he was deeply studying Capablanca´s games, and his own play was elevated. Source Richard Réti - chess thinker by Kalendovský.

He is a genius no doubt. But still behind Bobby Fisher. Bobby maybe, is the last legend, no doubt.

@@chessever5046 Bobby Fisher wouldnt even come close against this magnus. Give Fischer a computer and 5 years to get prepared on modern theory and maybe he'll be a match against carlsen. Though, I suspect magnus still would crush. There has been no player more precise than Carlsen in the history of chess. Just look at his average chess accuracy.

I invit you, to watch the move 22, game Fischer vs Petrosian game 7, to show well that even Carlsen at his top level cant play it. Carlsen learn from computers, but Fischer is pure genius.

@@chessever5046 Comparison of chess achievement cannot be defined by one game or even one tournament. It has to be sustained for long periods against high calibre opposition. Fischer no doubt had an unbelievable run in the early 70s, but could not sustain it long enough to be placed in the same league as the likes of Kasparov and Magnus.

Carlson is a textbook player, just like the russians back in Bobby Fischer's time. Fischer played such unusual moves that the russians didn't even understand what he was trying to do until it was too late. That's why Spasky lost the title to him. He was just pure genius. Our generation will probably not ever see another Fischer. Bobby is a legend and one of the most imaginative players ever lived on our earth.

Carlsen needs a good rival, he loses motivation quite a bit. There isn't anyone quite at his level anymore.

I think is better if you analyze a golf match.

he could throw the (chess) pieces up in the air and they would fall on the right squares." (Miguel Najdorf). The only rivalry that Fischer cannot defeat is Bobby Fischer himself! Best ever in all time.
