The Côte d’Ivoire Rapid & Blitz is the 1st stage of the 2019 Grand Chess Tour, with World Champion Magnus Carlsen heading a 10-player field that features 7 tour regulars and wild cards Wei Yi, Veselin Topalov and Bassem Amin. The event takes place in the Pullman Abidjan Hotel in Abidjan, Ivory Coast from May 8-12 and has a $150,000 prize fund.
The rapid section is a single round-robin with 3 rounds each day on the first 3 days. The time control is 25 minutes for all moves and a 10-second delay from move 1. The final 2 days are a blitz double round-robin, with 18 rounds of 5 minutes + 3-second delay blitz. Rapid games count double, with 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw.

Hi, you're really big.

[@adnan4688]

Carlsen is just in a mad form,he will get 2900 in classic this year I am sure of it now. Its like Carlsen at age 22 only with 8 more years of training, knowledge and experience!

[@kasparov9]

I really hope so, but Norway chess has always been Carlsen's achillies heel, I hope he doesn't tank there like he did for 2 years. He would need 8.5/9 to hit 2900 there. Unlikel but he could say hit 2890 if playing well.

[@itze_]

This year?

[@khadim717]

Really glad to find that u actually read the comments and follow the suggestions, U are an inspiration to all of us , Keep going with the wonderful work, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SniperMonkeh]

His all-time high in rapid is 2919, so he has broken the 2900 barrier before.

[@kasparov9]

I know right? Haha

[@james64ibm]

Also, Ding Liren didn't break 2900 in blitz, it was Grischuk (who arguably ever only plays blitz) and Karjakin.

That's what I thought because last time when he was as playing the championship I saw that he had a 2 2900+ everything except classical

[@ScottZimmerman2021]

There is an interesting spot in the final hypothetical sequence you played after Yi's timeout. See 12:49 in video. After black king to d3, white can pin the queen with rook to F3!!! But after the exchange, its not a draw since black pawn would queen.

[@rohitdinakar2800]

Did anyone else feel that agad was just having fun playing/analysing that rook and queen endgame that never happened? :D

May I ask a ... maybe rather stupid question ... but i just want to know : do you remeber all the moves or do you have some kind of a help somwhere? because sometimes you fast forward the moves as if you know them by heart looking only on one spot (which is probably the mouse ... since you drag the pieces yourself)

Dear Agadmator, out of curiosity, why didn't the guy with the white go for the Nyezmetdinov-Rossolimo variation with 3. Bb5 in your opinion? The line he started with offered Carlsen too much activity it seems.

is it required to play speed and/or blitz to be ranked? because i am usually a very slow player by these standards. thanks to you Agadmator, and playing my merciless foe the computer, i am finally seeing the board after 60+ years. i notice that most of the GMs are fairly young. are there any old contenders? do i have a chance?

[@gustavogroeff4600]

i guess the oldest player still active in the top is vishy and he's 49. Kasparov has retired from the game, and kramnik too. The thing is, all these players started pretty young playing chess, around 10 years old or even less.

[@gustavogroeff4600]
