00:00 Hello Everyone!
The 2022 FTX Crypto Cup sees Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja, Levon Aronian, Anish Giri, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Liem Le, Hans Niemann and Praggnanandhaa gather in the Eden Roc Miami Beach Hotel in Miami, Florida for the 2nd Major on the $1.6 million Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. $210,000 and a $100,000 Bitcoin bonus is at stake in the 7-round all-play-all tournament. Each match consists of 4 rapid games on the chess24 Playzone, with the winner earning $7,500 (3 points). If the match is tied there's a blitz tiebreak, with 2 blitz games followed, if needed, by a single Armageddon game. The winner earns $5,000 (2 points) and the loser $2,500 (1).
For each rapid game the players have 15 minutes for all their moves, with a 10-second increment after each move. For blitz games it's 5 minutes and a 3-second increment, while for the Armageddon game White has 5 minutes to Black's 4, but a draw counts as a win for Black. No draw offers are allowed before move 40. Official website: chess24.com/tour

[@shreyasherale]

I have always wondered why Agadmator's videos are so engaging with the commentary and analysis. Now I realise its because Antonio speaks for himself.

[@ragavsn01]

Praggnanandhaa = Praggna (Brillance) + Anandha (Joy). Hence the title of the video.

Like b4 is your favorite move in any position, 0-0-0 is mine. I love that this game became completely new after 0-0-0

[@theotries]

10:14 why can't i capture bishop f6 and promote it Into a Queen? How will black stop me from it? Edit: 1 min later i think i found why, so: Bishop f6 falls, King takes rook, pawn to f7 and NOW Rook to f3. Pawn promotes Into queen and rook Takes on f5(with Check)...queen takes rook and King takes queen. Black now is a pawn up...

[@justarandomanimegirlpassin5341]

Lovely game.... both are great players

[@NocturnalNick]

kid is obnoxious, but I think people aren't giving him quite enough credit. The fact he won 1 game against Magnus is incredible. He had a 15% chance of winning based on ELO alone, and then you take into account his age, lack of experience, no second, and it was his very first time against Magnus? That aside, the L speaks for itself

I dont normally comment but its 6am where I'm at and I cant sleep so thank you for the video

[@deathscyther4530]

Damn chess spoke for itself once again.

[@gravyholicbear]

At 10:13 you can absolutely capture the bishop. If black captures the white rook, just push f7 and black has no useful checks and no way of stopping promotion.

[@marcinkryczka7044]

at 10:10 fun variation to show, would be that if you as white igore the fact that rook is hanging and go Bxf6 gxf6 Kxe4 f7 then Rf3is the only move that wins bacouse after quinning rook takes on f5 with check forcing trade with queen and black pwns on the queenside win

[@MikeWal2]

Thanks. This saved me some embarassment as I’d missed the forced exchange of queen for rook! (So a very quick delete!)

[@tonybernard4444]

@@MikeWal2 Same here. I always think promoting to queen equals game over, but that's why I enjoy watching chess more than playing it.

[@JoshuaKim1997]

Yeah he should've highlighted this, I was a bit stumped why the immediate f7 after Kxe4 didnt win. Rook trades on f5 and the queenside pawns run.

[@FyreGaming]

"Saw some weirdos on the beach, playing chess in the heat." 🤣

#suggestion everytime the thumbnail says who the winner is. Try to give same space for both the players in the thumbnail so that there will be no spoiler till the end of the game.

[@user-gn2hp1fq4e]

10:12 Isn't pawn capture bishop and pushing the pawn is just wining?

[@cptnoremac]

10:12 After Nxf6 and Bxf6, you can give up the rook and capture the bishop because if black takes the rook, the pawn can't be stopped. Edit: Okay, I see the problem. You don't need to stop the pawn, because at the end of it all, Rxf5 is a fork and white can't keep the queen.

[@memo-sn1gu]

Thanks for the edit, I was looking for this

[@richardsanderson5670]

Antonio's obsession with the square b4 is easily explained: it's the only square whose name is a homonym of an English word--"before." Before what, you ask? That is the true mystery.

[@francescos.7573]

The b4 square once again spoke for itself

[@FloydMaxwell]

Great quote above the board, lol

[@anubhavdixit1686]

Praggo : "The finisher".

[@shorshe4442]

Actually in the pause the video moment, we can just capture the bishop after Nxf6+, as if Kxe4 taking the rook, we simply push f7 and the passed pawn cannot be stopped.

[@Galadr34m]

I thought of that too

[@nikhilbadsheshi7109]

It doesn’t work because black rook takes pawn with check after promotion

[@garyhughes1936]

I also thought that, but Nikhil came up with the correct response.

[@amitmishra7150]

At 10 :15 we can sacrifice the rock and adopt the recapturing the bishop on f6 because after capturing the rock pawn will be unstoppable to be a queen

[@WgCdrMadhusudan]

I think the f4-e5 was a positional trap to render the bishop enfeebled for the rest of the game.

[@arnavrawat9864]

This game was beautiful. I can feel the brilliance of both players. Hans is absolutely incredible

[@osterlaich6395]

Before is a nice tile to play around. You think it's the most important one? Might be. Should be more balanced tho, depending on opening. would be an interesting study.

[@walterwhite5689]

In the hypothetical, alledgedly winning Nf7 variation, what about after Re2 by White, Rxd4 for Black - is that a win for Black?

[@EternalHappElements]

Hans is so resilient like Nakamura in some way.

[@crieliocriel]

10:15 how come bishop capture is not winning?

[@nishitd]

I love how agadmator always pronounces Hans' full name, Hans Moke Niemann, for some reason.

[@GouravSharma-wp9tq]

Kid crushing the big boys!!!

[@polillaWins]

10:14 if g x f6 and King captures the rook, then f7 and white wins

[@carlosgaspar8447]

at 4:24 the white knight can move to a2 and challenge the bishop with a pawn discovery?

[@TheRaspberryFlavored]

from the thumbnail/pause the video moment, can’t you recapture the bishop? The pawn you capture with looks unstoppable if Prag sacs his rook

10:19 after gxf6 kxe4 can you push the f pawn and it becomes unstoppable? how is that not winning

[@laurencecahill7560]

That’s what I was thinking as well. I assume you just don’t take the rook and play against white’s worse pawn structure and play Rf3 or something

[@cookie1739]

Rf3 because then after promoting there is a check and you have to give up your queen for the rook and the pawn endgame is winning for black

[@nathandidier5709]

After kxf6 and bxf6 (9:30 in video), why not recapture with the pawn and allow the rook to be taken by the king? Next move would be f7 and there's no way to defend against promotion. Anyone else see what I see???
