I love the possible checkmates you find, I like it when you mention the player may be low on time so didn't calculate it, or he knows no opening theory so he missed it
Hello Agadmator. Thank you for this fantastic video and also for your other previous videos. I’ve been watching your videos for the past few months and I’ve learned lots of things from your videos in this channel, especially the middle games ideas like pawn breakthroughs, majority and minority pawn structures and especially spotting weaknesses and key squares. I watched them in preparation for a tournament I just played in. It was a group/team tournament where our team used your videos to learn and practise. We actually ended up getting second place. We were only 1 point behind first and that is quite frustrating since my teammates blundered their major pieces against the winning team when we played them. Although, it was individually my best tournament as it was the first time I ever won all my games in a tournament. For that, I would like to thank you for your amazing videos and hope you gain many subscribers in the future.
Hello everyone! After captures, captures, we have king captures, queen captures, pawn captures, pawn captures, rook captures, knight captures, and it was in this position that Magnus Carlsen resigned the game. If he had tried, say king f4, we would have had bishop captures, pawn captures, knight captures, queen captures, and after captures, captures, captures, white is in a much better position. Carlsen played a very nice game, but going against Antonio Radic on the white pieces ... it's just not a position you want to be in.
Caruana needs to develop his endgame more. He had these same opportunities against Carlsen in the World Championship but he always finds a way to blunder. Not really blunders but at this level you need to find the right move to become World Champion. To his advantage, he has really mastered the theory, also why he is difficult to beat.
I don't know I spent 5 minutes looking at that and couldn't find the move... and by the endgame you are very low on time. Otb is way harder than looking at the game though table bases
@@Figgy20000 I think it's more than a move the clarity of mind. You need to know at that point in the match that the only way to convert the winning position is to prevent perpetual. Caruana instead chose to keep attacking and it ended up costing him because he had no king safety of his own whereas black had a pretty nice little castle.
Thank you again agadmator for another awesome video! When i started watching your videos i was rated under 1100 on lichess, ive since studied some opening theory and watched every one of your videos, my rating is now just over 1400 in 5+0 blitz. Its not a great rating compared to some of your subscribers i know, but its all inspired by your videos! Thank you again for reminding me my love for the game of chess!!
@@rhythmc3230 You are a bunch of gutless internet wimps hiding behind the anonymity of your keyboards. They probably have not or never will reach even 1% of the achievements of Fabiano Caruana. They fail to understand that chess is not a three ringed circus that manufactures games for their viewing pleasure. It is a highly intellectual addiction that can be tedious to watch at times and even if every player was a clone of Tal, Paul Morphy or Bobby Fischer they would still complain about something. Chess is about a variety of players personalities, playing styles, calculation skills and problem solving abilities. It is this variety of playing styles that provides the rich diversity of games. People should just watch and enjoy and enjoy the light and dark moments plus the highs and lows. If you all ate rich cake all the time you would soon get fat and bored. You people are the pimples on the arse of chess critics.
Thanks for the Video! You are the hardest working chess video commentator on RU-vid! And mad props on the fact you are not a native English speaker! You are far beyond everyone else in this no matter what their native language is!
11 dislikes 1 from caruana 1 from his girlfriend 1 from his mom 1 from his dad 1 from his coach 1 from the spirit of Mikhail tal 1 from Grischuk (you didn't show a photo of him) 1 from vast knowledge, you didn't gave it 3 from random dudes who don't know about chess
Hello Antonio, I love your channel! Did you ever think of doing a video about Nabokov ? I actually came to like chess after reading his novels. The Luzhin defense, of course (still didn't watch the movie yet), but I especially remember a book of him (poems and problems), the title itself show what conception of chess Nabokov, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, had. One of the rare footages we have of Nabokov is him playing chess with his wife, Vera, in Montreux Palace hotel in Switzerland where he lived (with the money of Lolita, his hit :D)
#Suggestion will you show a game with Grand Prix opening. These games are insanely exciting Gerard welling vs kappler 1983 Terry furley vs Moses Kawuma 2004 Anand vs Gelfand 1996
Well there are many ways. If you want to talk about sponsor then you should directly call him or email him. If you don't find number in his website then just email him. He will answer. And you can also get noticed by sending him tweets. Or in the comment section of his instagram you can mention him and tell what you want to tell. He will definitely notice
Only Magnus would talk shit about how bad a player is with twelve draws against them in WCC. That's like trying to break a stick, not being able to break it then calling it weak.
Thanks for the report. A tough blow for Caruana not winning this game. I think Carlsen was happy that Caruana had a longer streak without win as himself. He had 21 draws in a row until his win in January in round 5 of the Tata Steel against van Foreest.
The saying was to "play the end game like an engine", not the opening and the middle game like an engine, and the end game like a blunder machine. If you think chess is just about memorizing winning boards, then you are watching too many Caruana's games.
@@SuperAWaC Gross oversimplification. Memory is an important factor but so is visual-spatial pattern recognition, playing principles and calculation ability. If it were just a memory game then wouldn't a player play equally well blindfold?
I really think GM Carlsen is humble and it's like GM Fischer ,he said he had beaten all the Russians,GM Spassky was a little stronger,.It's respect given, everyone lighten up.
@@cgyphan3uf u do realize that hew the world champ and highest rated player right. Also he never whines like a baby. Hes just defending himself. And u wont even be of his caliber
Carlsen's comment was childish. The World Champion (whether he likes it or not) is a role model for younger players. Mean spirited tweets aren't something he should engage in.
@@michaelvanzyl9418 Just like in real world Too many fake people trying to look good in the front of everyone Luckily,Carlsen is not one of these fake people
caruana is an amazing player in opening and middle game, he is probably one of the best at comfortable positions, he channels the game to a slightly winning endgame most of the times, but when things get sharp, he misses so many winning lines that makes me sad
gregorio canepa tricky but with the help of the engine it says: ... Bxc6 b4 Bxa8 bxc3 bxc3 Qxa8 And in the end, white gains a rook and 2 pawns while black gains a bishop and knight as well as the queen being on the excellent a8-h1 diagonal slicing all the way through the board - the engine slighty favors black (-0.4) and is, like you said, probably too big of a commitment for so early in a grandmaster game.
Is there more context about the tweet from Magnus? Is it meant offensive? Or do they like each other and it is a joke between friends? However, I wouldn't like it, if I were Fabiano
Hi Antonio, hi all! First of all, thanks for this great channel - donation sent ;) I have a question - sorry, if already answered. Can't help myself, have I overseen sth? Why not the following moves? 36. Ra3 Qa3 37. Nd6! (threatening f7)...g7 38. Nh6 ...black can't hold it...........while typing realizing that 36...g6 could prevent it. What do you think?
@10:31 it seems that, in the analysis position, after 1.Qf3 Qd5! 2.Rxf7 Qxf3+ 3.Rxf3 Nd5! Black's centralized knight will anchor his passed b-Pawn. So, better for White was to play the immediate 1.Qb7! Qd5+ 2.Kh2 Qxb7 (forced) 3.Rxb7 and black's passer will be captured by the rook next move, leaving White the exchange up in a won endgame?
I keep getting an annoing popup espesially on this channel asking if 'I am experiencing Internet slowdowns and stoppages. Find out why.' At the same time the chess video stops and can't be started without going out of it. Has anybody else had this problem and how were you able to stop this malware thing.
At about 11:00 not Qf8 but Qd5 defends by pinning the white queen and forcing the exchange, no doubt why the line was rejected and the king removed from the diagonal.
What do you guys think about grandmasters with drawing tendencies like Fabi, Ding, Giri- is it that they play too solidly and they do not go for wins or risky decisions, or they're too computer prepared that it's hard for them to see natural moves, or what??
I’m not sure what type of relationship exists between these players. The tweets and “controversy” between them may all be in good fun. Or, if they are not friends, may be quite rude.
@@lifeofjoyandcreation lol fabi also trash talked with anish when he was drawing but u like fabi so he is HUMBLE 😂😂😂😂 when fabi talked trash at sinq cup 2018 to magnus fabi is humble 😂😂😂 STFU kid
Hi! I've always been a fan of chess but I'm not really good at it. I've recently had a change in work schedule which significantly increased my time in pursuing other things I want to do. Do you have any recommended chess classes that I can attend? I hear that Kasparov's Masterclass is meant for advanced players (which I'm definitely not- at least at the moment) so I'm not sure if it's the best for me.
On the 2nd quiz, I dont blame Fabi Qa1 looks like the most natural move. Expecting Rf7 is godlike stuff. In the first I picked Nef6 after all its not my pieces, in a real game is a different story, I would see it sure. Would I play it? i dont know.
Dominguez is the strongest Cuban GM since Capablanca, he recently changed federation and now plays for USA, he's ranked 4th in USA and I think top 20 in the world.
14:23 why not move the tower to e7 instead? That way when the queen moves to e4 to align with the tower you also deliver check and gain momentum (free move).
They better move was to capture the black rook directly and move the queen away. Then sacrifice the knight on F6 and then knight to H6. The moves are pretty much forced leading to a quick check mate.
This particular kind of insult is called a "burn" rather than a troll, since it's based on the target's actual shortcomings instead of fictitious or implied ones. Either way, it's not in very good taste, but hey, it's Carlsen after all.
As others have said, I don’t think it was very gentlemanly to tweet that to another chess player... especially after just beating him in the worlds... Agadmator, I would never tweet something like that to you, always know that! 😂
Of course, theoretically speaking there's no reason to believe tic-tac-toe and chess differ in terms of having a dominant strategy that prevents losing. Caruana and Ding Liren are particularly familiar with this strategy.
I am not a strong chess player but even I instinctively saw NeF6 as the best continuation without knowing the outcome. For someone like Caruana this is simply not acceptable. I am really glad he did not become world champion. Caruana's name next to Bobby Fischer is simply a disgrace to Bobby Fischer's memory.
