He had such a disgusted expression that Magnus would execute the bongcloud in a tournament where a lot of people came to see the highest level of chess
@@thisrighthereofficer4818 you can see highest level of chess every day in tournament somewhere, and a lot of matches go into lines that force draws anyway so who cares, enjoy the oddity
@@thisrighthereofficer4818 He was upset that they repeated moves and drew quickly. If the double bongcloud game was played out, he wouldn't have been so upset
ELO points are like positions in car racing, right? The higher you are the lower the number. Which means my ELO 150 outqualifies all of you here. Keep training or you'll never catch me!!
Magnus endgame is scary, but his middle game is even scarier to me. Endgames are always more direct, to me the way he sets up his midgame to give himself an advantage in the endgame is just incomprehensibly high level.
Ah yes and also his opening is just perfect, don't forget the way he Lift piece and move it to another square is just Unbeatable, and dont forget the way he breath God alike.
18:48 I always feel my endgame has improved enormously after watching these Magnus videos. Since it is well known on Agad's channel that Capablanca didn't bother much with opening theory, it seems all I have to do is find a way of avoiding the middle game.
The reason why Carlsen offered the Queen trade was the fact that after that, his Knight would jump to d6 and become the octopus knight; and as someone said that a knight on sixth rank is more powerful than a rook, then he decided to force Nakamura to trade that way.
10:03 even a super GM like Hikaru knows En Passant is always forced even if you know you’ll get mated in the next move. A chess player of culture I see
there was a game in 2016 that lasted over 120 moves.... the endgame was drawn, but naka pressed for the win and blundered by giving magnus the passed h-pawn.
*Riker to nakamura* “What happened to all those millions of calculations per second?” *Nakamura* “I can still win or at least flag” *Riker* “no you can’t don’t even try!”
First ever chess game I watched I think was Magnus versus Vishy TaTa steel like 2018?? Where he won a drawn knight endgame and it was the day I fell in love with chess
No easy Berlin draws for you Naka. This is why the majority loves MC, the dude is almost secured to win the whole tourna but still gives no easy draws. The hell, he even tried to pre-move trick Artemiev's queen yesterday just to see if he could tie the match and go for blitz. MC wants to win everything.
Hi Antonio. It would be great if you could remind us what the time format of the game is at the start of the video or in the description. Can I make a polite request? Thanks for the great videos.
Funny how Nakamura hasn't developed as a chess strategist since he broke out years and years ago. Still plays normal chess like it's blitz, just doesn't work against Magnus but the again what does?
Not only that, but what if instead of Ke5 he played Ke4 previous move? It seems like he lost three moves between his earlier rook blunder, that King move, and the early capture on a7...
2:35 Obviously Hikaru only lost because he broke Ben Finegold’s rule of “never play F6” lol In all seriousness though, did Nakamura only lose because he played the single inaccuracy at 12:56 where he wasted a tempo by putting the rook on c7?
