Peter leko really appreciated Praggu's mindset.. Instead of yesterday's painful loss he tried something creative didn't go for something solid, hoping to make draw with black pieces.. He came with fighting intention and what a game it was..

[@ndnd7614]

opposite of hikaru

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Yeah, they are burning preparation and becoming tired by playing among themselves to favor the Slavic federations that control FIDE. The best the Indians have going into fighting with Indian Players. Talk about having the foot in the balance to crown Nepo. Nepo may win, but he will never be after this trickery the world champion.

Incredible game by Prag!! Takes serious nerves to play a dubious opening in the Candidates and see it all the way through the end to win the game. Congrats to the young man! Cheers!

[@gffg387]

Fucking Svidler is teaching Prag all these nasty openings. He's creating a monster.

Pragg took a bad hit yesterday and bounced back big today. Man Vidit had them daggers looking at Pragg like he just killed his favorite pet.

[@SimBol1216]

Naturally; Vidit is scared Dina Belenkaya is going to scold him when he returns home. (jk)

[@BalkanDadChess]

Pragg shocks the world!

[@nedmerrill5705]

Craziness in the Candidates 2024 openings! The Schliemann! Kudos to Pragg, answering Vidit's opening surprise yesterday with another today!

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Yep FIDE forced the Indians and the Americans to burn the best of the preparations and all the innovations playing against it each other to favor the Slavic federations. Probably want to turn Nepo into the world champion by puting the foot in the balance.

[@sarmadkhan9638]

Prag playing with fire 🔥 in candidates , and definitely gonna burn some candidates. 🙊😶‍🌫️

[@RazequeChess-ls3zs]

Pragg activated the smoke extractor

[@dazefe3167]

Waking up and watching candidates first thing in the morning gang

[@vblueice]

What is the point of watching this live?

[@jayaram2u]

Suddenly the game went into chess960 mode!!!

[@jesterlead]

When I watch the tremendous complications in classical chess it confirms my distaste for what bullet/blitz have done to the game. Call me a traditionalist....

[@davidcopson5800]

I totally agree with you.

[@SK-hs4fp]

Kinda like test cricket vs ODI and T20

[@AnasKhan-ud4ol]

Well. I think the game is a perfect example of how classical chess has evolved to be a matter of memory and work with engines. It's the same reason Fischer and Magnus stopped playing and encouraging the game and format.

[@SK-hs4fp]

@@AnasKhan-ud4ol I agree. With the prep work and the opening prep etc, almost every game has at least the first 10-20 moves played by "rote". There doesn't seem to be much of the "brilliance" that used to be associated with the game 20 or 30 years ago.

[@vik24oct1991]

your argument makes no sense, whatever wins you the game is always the best thing to do, boring or otherwise is irrelevant, unlike in other games like football aesthetics is not significant in chess.

[@user-tf4iw3wh1j]

I’m in Australia, it’s 10 am in the morning!! And was just waiting for Agads video as usually I wake up to his Analysis videos😁

[@fredflint3998]

Much respect to young Pragg for playing such a ballsy move in the opening. Vidit was not ready for that as he seemed quite annoyed by it. That must’ve thrown his preparation out the window lol.

[@narayanans2636]

#Suggestion Arjun Erigiasi becomes world no. 5 at 2762 points. Please show his game from Schengen Masters . His achievements are dwarfed by attention to candidates

[@dhrubaganguly7758]

As it should be

[@Perugia-qv7ke]

The Candidates Tournament ranked no. 1 tournament in the world. World's best players are fighting to be the best. And you are comparing that with a normal invitation tournament being played in China.!!!!!!??????

[@TheJayman760]

Great prep by Prag and Svidler. I think Svidler has played the Schliemann in tournament chess.

[@dark_magician_sdy]

So happy Pragg won ! 🎉❤😊 My fave Indian player for years now, thanks to you Agad

[@teom2547]

I think the Women's Candidates also deserve a look, specially Tan Zhongyi vs Lei Tingjie from R1. #suggestion.

[@chauhanashish143]

I think Pragg got Mikhail Tal's Soul 😂. That's why he is doing such crazy Moves 😎.

[@circles3446]

Anand made a point : deferred Schliemann is actually something that Surya (VD’s second) is playing recently - so being unprepared for this response by Pragg would be hurting VD (and his team) a lot!

[@tushar_ranjan7]

Interesting

[@sabujdeeptudu6215]

Who is Surya

[@morgoth8815]

​@@sabujdeeptudu6215surya ganguly was Vishy's second for 3 world chapionships, 2 of which Vishy won. Now he is the second of Vidit. His openings are very dubious. Opening against hikaru was an example of that.

[@francoispitre6292]

Schliemann way better than people think , but you have to be insanely prepared to play it .

[@Abhishek-150]

Pragg knows Vidit is very goofy in complicated type of positions. Vidit really shines in simple positions but pragg got advised by visi to go wild against vidit.

[@rtt1961]

Great game by Pragg.

[@elpollolocoman119]

The old school chess. Nice game. This does stop the bleeding, he had to let flame breath.

[@percybyssheshelly]

Yeah playing f5 is kind of a shocker at this level.

[@khann2159]

Why Vidit didnt capture the bishop as soon as possible with the knight ? It was obvious even for me (2200) that Black pushing the pawns on the King side while keeping the bishop was deadly

[@MrSupernova111]

You should take his place in the next candidates.

[@BadAssBlackOverlord]

I know pretty obvious move for me too an I'm ranked 2666.

[@vinitgkd]

It was his only piece with some activity and of course very very low on time

[@alexanderstoyanov7464]

I wanna see you play the move with 4 mins on the clock on move 32 and in the Candidates...

[@dmitripogosian5084]

Yep, he strangely waited for couple of moves for pawn to advance ////

[@Greatermaxim]

f5 by Pragg is World Champion material. Magnus probably jumped in his seat a bit over that. When we Queen pawn players go tactical there is no hope for you. ;)

[@p382742937423y4]

Those indian players are amazing.

[@nirmalsuthar2671]

Thank you for being quick!!

[@davidcopson5800]

That's what my wife said last week.

[@billagap3213]

So happy for pragg. To clarify im greek not Indian 😅the guy went for a super complicated and attacking position with black after having lost with white. Very nice bounce back win.

[@ChristianHegele]

Great. The deferred Schliemann is one of my pet lines and now everyone will know how to counter it (Pragg was playing the top engine line).

[@gerhardmuller-pw4bx]

...well this was the most brutal black-response in the candidates I`ve ever seen...

[@scottwareham6987]

Wow...amazing mind games by Prag! Great game

[@houseofleaves126]

[@vikramkrishnan6414]

I will show this game to my friends at the bar and the library.

Wow! Pragg threw caution out of the window in this. Pieces flying all over the board with wide open king.

[@davidcopson5800]

Great!

[@jamesterperez5691]

Waiting for this sir...

I've been enjoying Pragg's play for the last year or so. He will definitely be one of the future contenders for WC.

[@tarunrathitra1158]

Isn't the photo the position at 2:50 and not immediately after f5?

[@davidwillacy4796]

Even my uncle didn’t know much about this opening so Vidit must have got a hell of a shock!!

[@beksatibek]

Hello guys. I have a question:) How can I find the games that’s happening in Menorca open chess. Is there a website where I can the games of that tournament?

[@IndranilFromIndia]

PRAGG is always my man.. My favorite chess player

[@Axiomatic75]

Pragg the OG. Indeed not a line I expected.

#suggestion Candidates Round 3 game - Lei Tingjie’s game against Aleksandra Goryachkina - EVANS GAMBIT!!

[@billagap3213]

Meh really boring game. Yeah it was the Evan's gambit which I love, but black didn't allow anything

[@FranNDR]

Let's go!

[@davidwhite2949]

Already, a bruising candidates tournament. Aggressive play!

[@joylife428]

Pragg brought something new in the early stages by moving a pawn upfront 😂. Surely this game was not going to end up in a draw after the first 10 moves 😂

[@axeluchiha5831]

#suggestion Lei Tingjei vs Aleksandra Goryachkina. It was an Evans Gambit.

[@ashutoshskelkar]

Antonio not covering Evans Gambit is a crime

[@hueguy]

Incredible defensive play by Pragg. Besides from the bold f5 defense, overall I think he played very patiently and solidly.

[@Velvet-ni6pu]

Pragg is spectacular! Winning with such bold fashion after a heartbreaking loss yesterday is a true testament to praggs world champion mentality. He's always going to be my fave chess player, will root for him till the end!

[@81freewilly]

I think a mix Richard Rapport and Daniel Dubov has got into Pragg.. Creative and Fearless.

[@nicholastocco6058]

please show the standings at the end of the video!!

[@sakketin]

What’s the difference between the white dot Pragg has and the red dot Vidit has? I think I’ve only seen the red dot before.

[@tamdoduc]

Yes you could capture the g2 pawn but if you do that, you run into checkmate.

[@ashoksafaya5397]

Really a different Ruy Lopez, thanks.

[@maheshpalaskar6332]

Hi Antonio , I wanna know why Vishy Anand is not second of Pragg , Vidit or Gukesh?

[@blrrich1051]

Prag has been my favorite to win the candidates for some time now. I know his chances aren't as high as some of the others, but I'm rooting for him nonetheless.

[@Mik3sCT]

Dubious moves works better than top engine move in the opening at this level because these players probably memorise top 5 engine move till move 10. In a particular lines, they even memorise beyond move 20! Chess engines are the real enemy because it ruins the beauty of chess.

[@harshrajjadhav940]

The candidates has made me interested in theory. Can a program be made which goes thru millions of lines of openings and find moves which have a large evaluation difference by a 2750 elo engine(artificially reduced to mimic what a gm might think over the board) and a 3600 elo engine to make traps. Then maybe filter those lines with your team and make opening traps for your opponent. Make this is already done or I'm saying absolute bs.

[@tinojokic2102]

agad struggling with saying that pawn to b4 was not a good move made my day ^^

[@stevenSTRAT1991]

Yesssss

[@claytonbenignus4688]

It's the Schliemann Deferred, an extremely dangerous opening for Black. Not even Tal would have been crazy enough to play it.

[@robertdominguez7629]

Legendary!

[@donsurlylyte]

i like young prag, i think he is going to be wc sooner or later

[@preciousamaechi5887]

That Prag has some nerves! Good player

Insane Game

[@rdeoshakya9]

# Suggestion , Game of Vaishali, round 3.

[@jessejordache1869]

When Prag played ....d5!? in the Berlin, my first thought was "I wonder if he'll pull out the Jaenisch Gambit". Of course he did.

[@Soul0890]

Vidit got lost in the forest. Pragg can be scary

[@TheMarksT]

[@liljackypaper]

Anyone here play the Schliemann defense (or the deferred version seen here) with black??

[@leeball4585]

Nxf5 is already a mistake - simply castles puts all the tactics in white's favour, the pawn is irrelevant.

[@aliensconfirmed3498]

I think d6 was not even on Vidith's radar. It was real star move.

[@jmc597]

Incredibly complicated game and definitely fun for viewers.

[@insaneyoungster6223]

What's the verdict on the Schliemann variation by the way

[@ottolehikoinen6193]

Ah, a reason to open an older book checked by Kasparov. The not-delayed Schliemann was deemed slightly inferior for black in the 90s. A couple of sideline footnotes are marked as unclear.

[@ottolehikoinen6193]

And please don't ask why bishop on a4 is better for black😂. Anyway the deferred Schliemann was considered slightly better option to get a draw even back then. So, Pragg did well even by Kasparov's standards, is my take.

[@mchauhan4]

#suggestion.. please do cover some interesting games from the women's candidates as well.

[@dravey9128]

Why does live chess 2700 shows win for vidit and loss for pragg ????

[@kanha1599]

#suggestion Alesandra v Lei

[@pritampaul4186]

If vidit is the shark then pragg is definitely the orca and that's why magnus respects him so much ❤

[@mrbucy]

Could you add the computer projection for who is up in the match during the replay? Would be really helpful in following along in where the match is won or lost.
