• The Only Man Kasparov ...
The standings didn't change after Wednesday's fifth round of the FIDE World Chess Candidates’ Tournament in London as all games ended in draws. Facing his own favourite Grünfeld, Peter Svidler (Russia) got a winning position against Boris Gelfand (Israel) but after wild complications the game ended in a draw. Magnus Carlsen (Norway) also played the Grünfeld and for the first time he was under pressure, against Vassily Ivanchuk (Ukraine), but eventually he held a knight ending a pawn down. Vladimir Kramnik (Russia) got his chances in a Réti against Levon Aronian (Armenia), who held an opposite-coloured bishop ending two pawns down. The last game to finish was Alexander Grischuk (Russia) versus Teimour Radjabov (Azerbaijan). In a 5.Bf4 Queen's Gambit Declined White also got very close to a win but with a bishop sacrifice the Azerbaijani held his own.

A draw, but at least, Ivanchucks king can ride back home and carlsens has to walk alone.

"so this is the position Carlsen saw when he decided to sacrifice a pawn" Me: *cough, cough* mmm, yes, naturally

[@manosmanjoy9885]

Ivanchuk is a pure genius if he has time he is able to win everyone

[@chrisding1976]

Manos manjoy yes, but to be a genius you also have to be able to play by the rules, which means you can’t just disregard time

[@danielosdinia4258]

It's great when one is so serious about what they do that they apologize for missing on doing it once :) great content!

[@heroricspiritfreinen38]

The picture of the two at 1:12 just makes me laugh for some reason, two highly dignified chess players sitting like they'd rather be doing anything else when realistically their calculating 10 moves ahead per second is funny lol

[@GaneshKumar-bv2td]

Shane Okakpu well said😂

[@jansnauwaert1785]

They are not calculating 10 moves ahead per second, not even 5 or 4, I assure you. Even during many minutes, they often don't succeed in calculating 10 moves ahead. It's a myth.

[@askpatrick]

You are from Craotia, the next time I'm in Slovenia I would have to come over and offer a match. Nastavi s dobrim radom. Bravo.

[@diorsesh]

Thanks for showing this game Antonio. It really changed my thoughts about the Grünfeld in a good way, i now know how to tackle it better with white. Thanks!

[@Andique1]

It is called: "Draw by insufficient material".

[@slowpoke126]

It's called a "dead position".

[@zayyh4294]

Actually it's called "this is a drawn position, uh neither side can win" - Agadmator 14:16

[@Caaro99]

no. A dead position is when there are enough materials to mate but you can't for example. the white pawns are on a4, d4, and g4 respectively and the black pawns are on a5,d5, and g5 both kings are on the same side as their pawns. This makes it impossible to get to the other side to free up their pawns. So in this case it is not a Draw by insufficient material as there are enough material to win but it is a dead position. Here is an even more complicated " dead position" Black pieces: Pawns on e3, e7, g3, and g7 Bishop on f8 king in h8 White pieces: pawns on e2, e6, g2, and g6 bishop on f1 a random bishop (white square) anywhere on the board King on h1.

[@slowpoke126]

Thanks for the annotations and indeed that is also a dead position.. I mean, obviously you can call any of it anything you want, but official rules are exactly what I've stated. I was just poking fun at the fact that people have somehow picked up chess site customs as objective, e.g. there are evaluation definitions for blunder or mistake. www.fide.com/fide/handbook.html?id=171&view=article

[@lastprophet9904]

stalemate

[@plinsavi]

Unlike many other times, this time I actually found the solution for the puzzle in a few seconds. But I'm most certainly not an excellent endgame player. Thank you for the compliment, nonetheless. I'm striving to improve.

[@maxkovalchuk8046]

ivanchuk is the boss

[@dertfert745]

The crazy thing about the 2013 candidates is that Ivanchuk had winning scores against both the 1st and 2nd best players in the tournament (both carlsen and kramnik finished with 8.5) but he finished in 2nd last. A very chucky performance!

[@mkl0073]

This is how legends play TILL THE VERY END even when they knew it was a draw.

[@delta_fox_one]

A nice one. Thanks agadmator !

[@mohamadadamdanialbinshahri2309]

[@richardfeynman5560]

Coming late is also not an uncommon thing for trains in Austria ;-) I was already wondering yesterday evening, why is there no new video coming, and hoping that agadmator is ok, but now the relief: The train was late.The game shown here is really very instructive, especially in the endgame. I'm looking forward to more of that...;-)

[@alexrozenbom3430]

Another great game shown. Finally, grand masters finish a game, instead of draw with half their paces left.

[@thesanerepublicofcommonsen5057]

Love your vids agadmator

[@ericsbuds]

awesome. thanks for showing the photos, too.

[@ericmol5698]

There was an artist competition depicting the final piece position on the board. I'm not sure who won the artists contest rendition of this game because that was very close too but I heard that it was drawn.

[@EricStenson]

Please make more Carlsen videos! Even if they are casual games. I love watching his playstyle combined with your commentary! I've watched every Carlsen video you've uploaded.

[@willbollman6246]

I would love to see Ivanchuk as world champion...he deserves it. Such a brilliant player

[@joshtheegotist]

If Ivanchuk became world chess champion, then he couldn't be the player to hold the world champion's feet to the fire.

[@duggiefresh8170]

When he is on, Ivanchuk is a badass M Fr. I think he has more creativity than anyone.

[@forearthbelow]

@jr birdman, completely agree my friend. We all know Magnus is a superb player but when Chukkie is in the mood chess becomes an unequalled dynamic beast. Such a shame that, in his prime, he got into SO much time trouble, probably stopped him being world champion.

[@avab4035]

Ivanchuk seems to be your all times favourite. He is ours also.

[@moda8509]

I am just happy to predict the first couple of moves in the game

[@iskender1327]

Don’t worry about yesterday man, your upload schedule is better than the majority of KZbinrs anyways

[@dominicfenix2201]

I hope someone answers, on 11:31, Agad said Ivanchuck "Almost grabbed his king...he picked up his king", so, did he touch it or not? did Agad misspoke or why Magnus didn't called the Touch-move rule?

[@arthurv.a2710]

DOMINIC FENIX yeah its strange i think agadmator misspoke

Use #suggestion

[@quickNir]

At 7:33 looks like white can win a pawn with Nf6#, forking the king and the pawn on h7 which is now double attacked. Seems like there is time to defend the f4 pawn later. What am I missing?

[@Kuronichii]

why at 10:18 Ivanchuk didnt want to do the threefold repitition to draw? because earlier he offer a draw because he is on time trouble right? is it different to draw by offering rather than draw by threefold repitition?

Any interesting games from your tournament that you might review?

[@scottcarlass8887]

I like capturing black's d-pawn with my c-pawn for move four so as to advance my e-pawn to e4 on the next move. Tell me what could be wrong with that?

[@connorthompson1789]

Even with a queen a knight and all of those pawns surely must be able to create a fortress

[@TheMafiaAtackz]

Ivanchuck is like Mikhail Tall, ones of the most creative, impressive players! But never quite had enough to rule chess live Magnus or Mickhail Botvinick. I really need to know if Chucky or Botty wrote a book. Please lmk(:

[@ThaAlkaholik13]

Chucky was in trouble on move 45? He was in trouble 5 moves after move 40???

[@markzucc4480]

At 10:41 Ivanchuk should have brought his knight to c6, it would get him a queen

[@anthonydavtyan1989]

Of course you don’t want to capture the knight, because you can’t, as it’s defended by the pawn. 13:57

[@chan8772]

What??

[@Orion-zq8jf]

Did touch rule not apply here? Did he say Chucky touched the king but then moved the knight instead?

[@Life0fPablo]

How come I’m just interested in Carlsen games lately

[@shreeyamittal1771]

I can really not understand why Carlsen declined the draw Ivanchuk offered him, its not like he had a better position or more material, and didn't end up getting anything out of it. Plus when Chucky offers a draw, you take it.

[@D3ND]

4:55 why queen to e6 wasn't played?

[@Kuronichii]

Nf3 can jump to g5 and attack the queen again. and i think its either a queen run and make the queen misplaced or even worse trap the queen. idk thats the way i saw it since im not really good at seeing couple move ahead lol

[@eddie_0584]

13:18 Ivan could have also played g6

[@johannes5219]

Brilliant, would result in an instant loss because of h6

[@awm8158]

such is the way of chess :)
