I watched the endgame stream, their quickfire moves were inspiring MVL Carlsen games are always fun to watch since so much emphasis and exploration is done around the middle game
Had never seen any game of MVL before his recent matches against Carlsen. Gotta admit he gives a tough fight! Excited about seeing more games of his...
I definitely recommend you one of his game from 2007 to understand more his style. A masterpiece : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kjxpQ4-EMmc.html
Awesome game! Incredible how MVL can beat Magnus in rapid, and Magnus going once again into MVLs preparation just shows how he is fearless and and is always up for a challenge.
a few weeks! Svidler and Jennifer had him on the phone for Anand's deciding game from the Tata and he said he didn't really care, already a good season etc.
agad is a very competent salesman...he uses so many checks with emphasis in order to get to his viewers subconscious mind...so when he emphasizes "check my videos" this "check" is very powerful, it is like giving a direct command to his viewers to check his videos
Both you and Jozarov did this game and it was such a good one what I had no problem watching it twice. In fact I like to do that because the two of you give such different perspectives.
Every time agad paused the video, Magnus didn't find the best move generated by an engine with plenty of time to calculate it. Magnus so often DOES find that move with very little time, it was painful to see him miss it repeatedly here. All applause to MVL, who was beat at several points, for slugging away.
12:34 Magnus is up 2 pawn 20:18 Magnus is left 2 pawn What a game by MVL, I don t think a lot of player would come back like that especially against the strongest player in the world.
MVL - Carlsen is becoming a match to always watch for. Since MVL's win in classical in the 2017 Sinquefield Cup, their matchs has always been so complex that every commentors are struggling to analyse their games.
I wAtched this game live with St. Louis Chess Club and the annotations was insane with so many GM’s analysis too. Absolutely no disrespect to this analysis.
To be more specific, he uses the entire database with a rating cutoff of maybe like 2400ish, so that the moves are only ones that basically GMs/very strong players would even consider. E.g. If a 1900 player played it in the database, he would usually omit/skip it since the gap in knowledge between a 1900 and 2700+ SuperGM is so large. If that makes sense.
@Newton ka padosi He referenced one game I can recall with a 2100 player (which was only after someone suggested a larger database of use), but besides that he sticks to pretty much only stuff grandmasters play
If you found checks at 20:28 and 20:36 , congratulations you are an excellent finder of checks and for those of you who just want to enjoy the show it’s king g3 check and knight f4 check respectively 😂😂😂
I'm glad MVL won. Like Hikaru, I've never particularly liked Magnus's style. Hikaru called Magnus's style "dry" and I agree. In the replay of the game by Agadmator there were numerous sacrificial attacks for Magnus and he never went for any of them. Magnus is a grinder but MVL is much more fun.
I love your commentary. Since you use the word prophylactic again, I remember you made a comment once about it. I believe the word prophylactic technically makes sense, yet it is primarily used in the medical field. My question to everyone, would you think, about "preventive move" instead?
QUESTION: At 7.05 in video, Magnus captures with pawn on g6, MVL uses knight on e5 to immediately capture that pawn on g6....but why not use the knight to capture white rook on d3?
Yes, as it "if" MVL captures the knight, he can just move the king and now the knight is under attack by the pawn, pretty sure both of them being super GM's they've anticipated it
