Gukesh, Pragg and Vidit all the same rating at 2747....😮

[@sankalps17]

Not same but it's close, including arjun

[@TheMultiLibra]

Arjun crossed 2750 recently, and vidit has dropped below 2730 in the live ratings.

[@SimBol1216]

It's settled, then. They need to break their ties through MMA fights.

It would have been amazing, if it was gukko steel.

Yes. But sadly not all draws are equal. I think Gukesh was gonna win the Tata Steel if he hadnt drawn against Pragg.

[@soson001]

What a brilliant game by two immensely talented gentlemen .

[@rg7535]

The best thing about the Italian opening is you get to keep pieces on the board, and that allows for some fantastic games, such as this one. You don't always get to see a monster bishop pair against a monster knight pair, as we got to watch in this game.

[@user-gr3tg2yk6o]

02:23 I have never hear Agadmator say "Anand has the same position in a game and he played this and lost the game"... it is so surprising to see how many games anand has won in how many weird, out of preparation positions .. The man is a legend ... Anand I mean , not Agadmator !!

[@divyanshusingh6473]

Agad too. In his own way!

[@BlckJack123]

I suspect that the reason that the best chess players can't beat the engines is often due to mental exhaustion. Engines never get tired or feel under any pressure, unlike humans.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Engines are built for calculations humans have to concentrate to calculate of course a machine should win

[@sparkydogsparky2992]

But the human players have imagination. I think that makes them equal, at least for the time being.

[@jayaram2u]

Rare to see a drawn game featuring in Agad's channel. Just to show how intense the game was..

[@michaelmassaro4375]

He has shown drawn games before if the game is relevant enough Agadmator will show it Great Game

Gukesh and Pragg are like Goku and Vegeta of Chess for the future of Indian Chess. Appreciate Gukesh more because his defense is as sharp as his attacks when he wants it to be so.

[@StarPlanet56789]

No Tamil's No indian chess. The pride of India .

[@ajaybhimani8945]

I have been watching your videos since last 2-3 years, and first time I found the right move #PauseTheVideoMoment #FindTheBestMove

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Was that the King move ? I made same mistake as Pragg going back to hide behind the pawns

[@user-gr3tg2yk6o]

the reward for finding the best move is to take a black eggplant in your bass whole....now go and put a cucumber is your bass whole

[@amoldivo]

Wow that pawn sacrifice in the endgame was absolute gem!! I would play it in puzzles but would definitely hesitate playing it in real games! 😂 Because I'm not sure how to properly draw the endgame (I might know if I actually play it but can't be sure lol) and there was another connected passed pawns on the other side of the board! Crazy game that ended in a draw! Nice save Gukesh!! Might be rooting for him and Nodirbek in the candidates!! The two absolute beasts who completely crushed the 2022 Olympiads!!

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Prag has the correct formula for beating Gukesh. This time he lost the advantage in the tricky endgame. It was one of these "don't be afraid" moments when all your self-preservation instincts are telling you to hide, but your general knowledge of chess is telling you "there is nothing going forward".

Crazy moves that Gukesh had to find, really impressive defense

[@daviddurbin7682]

Fascinating

[@agpaok0704]

I found both the move with the rook and the king for prag. But I only look for attack. Later when gukesh had to put his rook behind the pawn, I was only thinking a move with the king forward.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

That was awesome seeing how Gukesh said ok you want to take my Rook but I have two of them 😅I’ve seen that many a time and have done it myself

[@amosc768]

I'm looking forward to the Vidit/Magsoodloo game but I respect that you want to leave it a few days

Please cover Parham vs Vidit sooner, cuz it's ok Vidit will understand, and we all know Vidit is a great player even if he loses 3 games in a row

[@romalmohamednazir8448]

Beautiful by Gukesh, with those two extra pawns, to find all the correct moves.

Comment 4. Thank you for interesting game.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Incredible game It looked like a Pragg win up two pawns excellent resiliency by Gukesh I’m Glad Gukesh was able to make a Draw out of it Thanks Agadmator Enjoy your Day

[@oliverangermuller9827]

This was only a draw because White had f and h pawn. With for example the e pawn instead of the f pawn it would be winning. Maybe you could make a video explaining the diffrences. #suggestion

[@michaelmassaro4375]

You are saying because they were not connected ?

[@oliverangermuller9827]

@@michaelmassaro4375 No. Rock endings with f and h pawns are special. I don't know exactly why. One hast to look up the books. I would like to know the differences. Maybe it has to do with the distance between the pawns. If one has e and h pawns it is winning. There a lots of books especially about this ending.
