Alireza's style of playing is the most exciting to watch. He doesn't start with the best moves sometime, but goes for creating complexity that most of the time pays off and sometime backfires. Love his games!
Agad 2023 “He is the The One” Alireza vs Abdusattorov Agad 2024 “You were supposed to unite the Force, not leave it in Darkness!!” Erigaisi vs Alireza Agad 2025 “I will become more powerful than you can ever imagine” Alireza vs Magnus Agad 2026 “Ding, I am your father” Ding vs Alireza - Alireza Adopts the World Champion
It's very interesting that for most of the middle game, Alireza was actually at a slight disadvantage, and Magnus came in the studio for an interview (his match vs Hikaru finished early) and said that he thought Alireza would be very happy with this kind of position where he's slightly worse than his opponent, because it will give him the space to use tactics to create chances for a win. And it was exactly how it turned out. That checkmate threat that led to the white queen's capture was just incredible.
Alireza showing the difference between him and the other youngsters . Nordirbek is extremely tricky and puts up obdurate defense in inferior positions and manages to draw or even win . But Alireza didn't give Nordirbek even a sliver of a chance and took home the full 3 points .
The one match that I have seen Nordirbek defeat Magnus was not a speck of genius from Nordirbek it was more like mistake from Magnus by trading Bishop for a rook with no compensation. Magnus was insane.
@@Dr.Rae-101 a good chess player will tell you that exchange sacrifices was necessary.. And for that matter magnus didn't lose the game in the middle game, he was outplayed in the endgame... He played well, he was just outplayed, and it is not like it was the first time Nodirbek beat him. Watch chess
Also Gukesh did best him... All of this guys are just almost at the same level, on a good day anyone can beat anyone... Unless magnus is at his best and we know what happens... The goat
This is one of the nastiest chess attacks I have ever seen. Wow. If Alireza can continue to ascent to playing this level of chess, no one is going to be able to beat him. I just don't see the consistency yet though.
i think losing a few more games will push nodirbek to the next level , people comparing him to alireza forget alireza has been around for a few years , nodirbek just now starting to play the highest level of opponents
Alireza seem always in control and in a potential winning position, although I couldn’t explain why it was a winning position. But to win with Black without too much ‘sweat’ shows really dominance. Thks Agadmator, excellent guidance !
@9:35 Pause the video! Consider Knight to d2. Then if rook captures the Knight, Queen captures the rook, or if the king moves then knight to f3. Checkmate in one.
The white knight in a4 did exactly nothing for all the game. Alireza even didn't defend it, but he didn't get time to take it. It was a huge blunder for this position
I’m back @agadmator… I was hooked on Gotham for awhile, and he may be entertaining but you’re def the higher quality analysis for educational purposes. Someday when I’m good enough maybe I’ll graduate to Danya’s 2 hour videos😝
This was the first chess channel to pass 1 million subscribers on RU-vid. He deserves to have 2-3 million subscribers now. But most new comers only subscribe to Gothem, Hikaru, and Botez.
Of course. It's the same reason why we watch human chess instead of computer chess. We watch superGM tournaments over IM, NM, FM or WIM tournaments not because superGMs are better but because they're better but still human. This is why superGMs are more popular than computers. Stockfish, Leela et al easily beat Wesley So & Magnus Carlsen. Yet we don't watch Stockfish, Leela, et al except the occasional game recommended like when Leela beat Stockfish in chess960. (Is Leela the Wesley So of computer chess?)
I've been saying this for while now, but I honestly prefer not being spoiled about the match before I even view the video. I like to watch the match unravel before my eyes, but these days it's so difficult on this channel.
I've started liking alireza, unlike other young talent his style of chess grew on me slowly After his somewhat bad performance in candidates I thought he'll go the route Aronian, ie a strong GM who can beat anyone, but never really a world champion. Hope he becomes world champion one day, but compitition is tough specially the guy he today is really good, Nordirbek Abdusttarov eats Indian talent for breakfast 🥵🥵
Given Firouzha is also looking into a career in fashion, I don't know. It's a heavy investment in chess with months and months of preparation. It could happen. It could not. Either way I'm not one to put the cart before the horse. Just enjoy their chess regardless of whatever happens.
#suggestion Xue Haowen recently defeated Hans Niemann with the black pieces in a Sicilian. Hans Niemann engulfed the chess world last year with his win over Magnus and the scrutiny over his suspicious rating growth. This year, he was defeated by a player who was rated 2128 a year ago and 1928 two years ago, and has swiftly surpassed 2400 in live ratings. The game is too fitting of the narrative
Last vid i wrote a sentence if you could bring back 'pause the vid' link. Few minutes later I thought you are so busy, I deleted text to not bother you. Not sure if you read it but big thanks for adding this again 🙂!
He was the one two days ago, Today Ali is just an also ran. This event is brutal. Impossible to go undefeated. I expect my man, Fabi, to falter soon, but there's no shame in that. The competition is off the charts. Keep watching Antonio's channel for the next chapter in this insane Norway 2023 saga.
Please revision. White plays after Qf2; Rh1, g4+; Kxg4 (if Kh4, Qh2+ wining) g2; Rh2 (if Nxg2, Qxg2+ and picks the white rook in h1), g1=Q winning Is that the line ?? Thanks
Hi, Why is not good for the black queen check the king taking pawn on b2 wich is protected by the knigth on minute 9:00?. I think is chekmate on 2 Thanks
