"THE OVERDOG" || Magnus vs Nepo || Champions Chess Tour Finals (2024)

[@coolguy2060]

Magnus defeated Nepo to became 5 time world classical Champion, and now he defeats Nepo again to became 5 time CCT Champion !!

[@murkhuddindalal]

if you are already a champion, it does not count as one more time.

[@kuldipmahto6820]

​@@murkhuddindalal It does count

[@dimitriosdoulgeris4659]

​@@murkhuddindalalOf course it does. He defended his world champion title by defeating Nepo.

[@ballsmasher3000]

Nepo has such a unlucky career. By far most unlucky one in this generation

[@monarch585]

@@ballsmasher3000 why u feel nepo has unlucky career??

At some point Magnus will decline, of course, but I'm so happy I can still see him play in his prime. It's like Federer in tennis: it seems unbelievable that it could happen but it will, so I'll enjoy this for as long as I can 🙂

4:40 " You guys would win this against Magnus easiliy " I think Agad is as usual greatly over estimating the strength of his subs. I am will to bet most subscribers have never played in a otb tournment and perhaps 2% are titled players.

[@guptayush179]

6:22 ah yes, the move was bad it was anti-positional as supposed to positional.

[@shahrukhswati]

“Even you guys can win against Magnus at this position with 2 pawns.” What? I can’t win Magnus with a queen vs king! His king will beat my queen’s ass. 😂

[@amritawasthi7030]

Game 1 here where magnus gives the queen for two rooks reminds me of game 6 of ian vs magnus match of wcc

[@SmilingIbis]

Nepo relived the trauma, played the weak dodge of Ra8 and ended up in a lost position anyhow.

[@kuba7968]

I like little trick at the end of 1st game, if rf6 with check you can not take it with Queen or its a draw :) so in blitz i believe some lower rated player than gm could fall for that

Good battles! Congrats to Magnus and good tries to Ian.

I hope Magnus changes his mind about the WCC and WCC is a bit more flexible regarding formats.

[@BigBadVVolf22]

Nobody can even compete with magnus in its current format

[@teslaa108]

In Bundesliga magnus's new team will play against gukesh's team on January I don't if gukesh can play there because of the wijk dates but magnus will play two matches of Bundesliga

Nepo is an odd player. He can be brilliant in 2800 level chess and then lose to simple errors that even lesser players wont make.

[@Maxferreira78]

5:57 I didn't understand the joke, someone could help me?

[@jantorejohansen8547]

Regular viewers know Agadamator favourite respons in these positions is white pawn to B4, a pawn gambit/sacrifice. Thats why he didnt explain the joke...

[@Andrey.Balandin]

I'm not sure either, but perhaps it's because Giuoco Piano is considered passive and too balanced to pose any problems for black, particularly if you need to win.

[@monkeydjam3276]

The move he is referring to is B4 which would transition into the Evan's Gambit, something Agadmator is a huge fan of. It seems to have been a very popular opening in the early days of modern chess but became less so over time.

[@shuvro40]

He was referring to Evans Gambit. Agad loves Evans Gambit and always mentions when someone does not play it in that position.

[@Maxferreira78]

Thanks guys!

[@michaelmassaro4375]

It is incredible how Magnus finds the best moves and consistently outplays anyone he faces . He is the best player in world without question . Many people try knocking Gukesh because of Magnus superiority . I’m sure Hikaru Fabiano and the rest of elite GMs know Magnus is the final boss of chess . But of course Gukesh is a target for people that have anti Indian sentiment and whatever other reason . I find it irritating . But ok Great video Congrats Magnus have a great day Agadmator

Ya as saying goes.. Dogs keep barking whereas elephant continues its Royal walk..

[@afterneet4421]

Same goes for other one also ...people has been mocking magnus when fabi came to his peak , alireza came , pragg came, and now gukesh and others its both way ..successful people always get hate from jobless patzers

⁠@@afterneet4421 no very few mock Magnus that makes no sense I know for fact anti Gukesh sentiment is expressed on the regular especially during chats of live events and in comments of streamer .

[@KamaalAbdullah]

Magnus winning, if Neppo won it will be "underdog"😅

[@ottolehikoinen6193]

Chief or leader of the pack, i'd wager.

[@PS-mh8ts]

it's an informal word which means "a person who is successful or dominant in their field" (this is what google showed when i searched 'overdog' 🙂)

[@sakismoutsouroufis7588]

One of the reasons, correct me if I'm wrong, Magnus stopped playing in WCC is because of not worthy or strong opponents. Now he's winning every tournament. Isn't that controversial? Not judging just noticing. Cheers from Greece

[@cincilloYT]

Officially, he just didn't feel motivated enough to play the match. Unofficially, he didn't want to spend months for a time consuming preparation for a match that would ultimately give him nothing more than what he already has

[@alexpopa5436]

No. WCC takes months of preparation for playing 7-hours classical games that are just memorized computer lines till like move 30. The tournaments he plays now consist mostly of rapid and blitz with the occasional classic games, but it takes far less preparation. I don't see any contradiction or controversy, even if it's against the same field of opponents, defending WCC is a completely different beast.

[@asterisk6715]

1. Magnus wanted to become the first 2900s in classical 2. WCC cost months of prep and it happening from 2 years each to anually just cost too much time 3. In WCC people takes less risk, each draw is a ELO loss for Magnus, imagine 14 draw games like Fabi case then he will just be further away from ever reaching 2900 So even if he won WCC by tie breaks it would still be a loss in terms of achieving his goal of becoming 2900. There's so much to lose and nothing much to gain at all. There's no need to defend the title when he can take it back anytime he want (refering to how he might come back if new generation like Alireza become the new WCC)

when magnus reject queen trade, is he already know the end games? what a jenius...

[@LiMus7991]

Game 4? I believe it's because Magnus was attacking Ian. Both bishops and queen target the king side, both knights ready to jump, so you dont want to trade your attacking pieces. Ian tried to eliminate bishop but it wont stop the attack
