I don't get it - what masterpiece? The guy is just making standard moves with basic attacking ideas and Magnus isn't responding to any of them. There is a wilful blindness to Magnus' play, or, another way to explain it, Magnus wasn't interested in playing someone who might be cheating.

Is it not possible to lose to an inferior player ever? If the claim of cheating is analysed, the moment Qb3 was extremely crucial, so Alisher could have found f4 using his watch.

And so what you call standard attacking moves, Agadmator calls a 'tactical headache', was played over the board.

⁠@@antarath517 Most definitely. It would be very strange if his rating didn’t go way up if he had access to information like , for example, how the Kings Indian was completely refuted by Alpha Zero. I think conversely a lot of young Grandmaster’s rating would be lower if you’d taken away their access to Stockfish when they were growing up. It’s much easier to become a master now if you have an unusually good memory because you always have access to (in human terms) the perfect moves when you are practicing. Masters of the past only had their talent and previous games to rely on.

That's what I realized,even in the previous Tournament he played passively against lower rated players, trusting that he is the strongest and will catch them in the middle and endgame...as for his whining that's funny.

[@morapelimokokomali7907]

Agreed 100%. To be honest, I don't know what's in it for him in classical anymore because if he plays solid stuff, his opponents are so well prepared for him it's likely a draw and he loses elo. So he plays stuff that he thinks opponents are not prepared for and occasionally he will lose like this. I remember Fabi crushing Magnus recently in a rapid game. So if he wants to get to 2800, he'd better prepare his best because it's not like hrs keeping prep for a world championship or anything. Basically he should either take classical chess super seriously or risk getting annihilated like this every now and then

[@Apostolnixx]

I had seen with my very eyes that one person was immediately got disqualified in the middle of the game and the point was awarded to the opponent. Same thing happens if a phone rings even if placed at a distance.

Please add the accuracy rate for both the players at the end of the game. #suggestion

[@kolleivory2422]

I like that!

[@BigGeorgeCostanza]

I like that!

[@davidbennett9543]

Great idea, would love to see accuracy of both players after he shows us the game.

[@reddd-77]

Idk how he hasn't been doing this already

[@dennis9944]

@@reddd-77me neither. every chess youtuber does it nowadays

[@JellyMonster1]

What an amazing game! I especially liked it when you covered some of the lines (and there seemed to be plenty of them); crushing.

[@askthepizzaguy]

Magnus felt like he was playing down a queen and a rook... and a bishop. That traffic jam on the queenside missed the defense of the kingside and stymied black's development pretty badly.

[@raqig7511]

amazing analysis! thank you very much, very impressive game

[@IkEisawesome7]

What a brilliant game. Alisher got a truly wonderful position

[@PJJ196]

Are we ever going to see your next saga?? Really like the history, facts and story you take us through.. current games are getting kinda tired.. fell in love with ur content during the Fischer saga.. common man

[@mutanology4912]

Surprised that we didn't see a Morphy head awarded. Great game!

[@jh_esports]

My dad gave me a newspaper article about this game because he knows I started playing chess, but I‘m not good enough yet to follow it just from chess notation and images of a few chosen positions, so I came here. Amazing video and amazing game!

[@eternalbattle1438]

That was a MASSACRE!

[@pbarany]

"His final form" - I loved it, along with the game

[@bikasmohanty2221]

The knight move preventing doubling up pawn was a mistake. The knight literally blocking two rooks and queen from kings defense.

[@serbach]

“…on the receiving end of this big stick!” Pure eloquence, Antonio!

[@ganapathyshankar4420]

Often i end up positions like this 🥳 Proud to felt like Magnus 😎

[@MarioAndradeCursoExcel]

This guy will not sleep for a long time 😂😂😂😂

[@joediditde]

Honestly Magnus needs to make statements like these at different occasions. Why is there always a cheating measurements complain after he got stomped by a young player? This now makes the Hans allegations look even more suspect.

[@kfcsoldier1]

The goat getting absolutely demolished is always gonna bring suspicion, especially VS someone rated 300 points below them lol

[@jebespolitiko]

Maybe he should stop playing so many H4 openings and be more serious. Or at least take the L when someone beats you.

[@theman12833]

if youre 33 most players are going to be younger than you since being a gm is usually in teenage-years and maintaining it as a career is hard. it could also be just that he happened to lose to two younger kids. i think magnus' concerns are fair

[@tougherguy]

Yeah, Magnus embarrassed himself with such a comment.

[@zambot264]

​@@tougherguyum no

[@tennesseetremain5186]

Love the addition of “b4, the strongest move in any position” 👌

My man really pulled a quote from Yasuo 😂

[@rama_lama_ding_dong]

Congrats Alisher! When I saw the word crushed in the title I assumed clickbait: the kid just played well and eeked out a win. But I was wrong, this looks like it should be reversed.

[@0wenfox]

Amazing, added to my best chess games playlist 🎉ty!

[@KennedyMister95]

This is winning with style! Very surprised to see Magnus at the recieving end 😮😮

[@p.jhodeflea789]

Underestimated his opponent

[@richardlindquist5936]

I can’t recall when Magnus was tossed around positionally like that. And so early on. Morphy esque is the right word. Oh, and watches are back in. Big analogues.

[@Kgothatso_Masimene]

"Brilliant brilliant game."

[@sgazzz]

Great job for the young GM, definitely his immortal!

[@korpilombolo0068]

The watch speaks for itself.

[@dawidcloete6268]

Magnus usually finds the counter play, but not even he could save the position.

[@andaristal]

Mr agad, love your videos. I got to ask you why the sudden interest in samurais? if you are interested in miyamoto mushashi's life read a manga called vagabond, it's pretty amazing.

[@howardchan3244]

I'm not good enough to judge the position but what I noticed is the *Space and Mobility*. All the black strongest pieces sat at the corner away from their king while letting White controls almost the whole board. Of course GM level skills are still needed to finish such a brutal game.
