Be Afraid Fabi, Be Very Afraid | MVL vs Carlsen | Biel Chess 2018

[@soonlaypale]

"stop offering me photos of Jessica Biel" jesus, I had to explain to coworkers why I was laughing so hard...

[@UCreations]

And after you explained it to them, they laughed at you and Agad...

[@PushyPawn]

If Magnus continues to increase the pressure with which he squeezes these rocks to get everything last bit out, he will end up either igniting it into a fusion reactor or turning it into a black hole. A world chess champion winning a Nobel prize, now that will be a first.

[@guts7179]

Wouldn't mind some photos from Jessica Biel tbh

[@PascalWings]

MVL closing the position before the game started

[@outerdimension7276]

0:09 MVL's face when he found out Jessica Biel wasn't playing the tournament.

[@kingcarisma]

Magnus just sees wins no one else can.. "Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see." - Arthur Schopenhauer

[@TheKrostiman]

All the respect for MVL that was damn close but Magmus always grinds out a result.

[@jonfeltman2314]

No matter who Magnus may face, the Biel is in his court...

[@ToGetToTerrapin]

Ok, you win

[@GigglesMcMuffin]

I swear he gets funnier every episode. I'm so glad I came across this channel and it's vast knowledge!

[@Rombizio]

Carlsen is a machine. Very scary to see that all his endgame moves were the first pick from the computer.

[@coltlange2894]

By far best chess analyst channel on KZbin. Very quick, to the point, explaining critical positions, and ideas. Your also always posting regularly. I think what you do for the chess community deserves an award

[@Blahblahblahblah5679]

As a novice player it's amazing how close both their exposed kings move around the opposite pair of rooks!

[@filipmanov8951]

"If putting a rook behind a past pawn is good , then obviously putting 2 rooks behind a past pawn is even better! " you are killing me man :D

[@terrancereid3367]

I've seen many Carlsen games here (thanks to agadmator) and while I wouldn't say they are Tal or Nezhmetdinov-level exciting, it is amazing how Carlsen exploits the tiniest of opportunities to his advantage. I feel like I'm watching less of a human and more of a computer. There's something magical about the sacrificial chaos that Tal pulls out of his hat...but I also appreciate the machine-like precision that allows Carlsen to turn seemingly drawn games into wins and if not then at least profitable positions.

[@neiladri]

What an endgame! The way Carlsen built his strategy around those bonus tempos was really impressive. I'm rooting for Fabi, but this is going to be tough...

[@technowey]

Thank you for another great video. This is my favorite chess channel on KZbin.

[@eswing2153]

Best intro ever! “As you can see, Carlsen is wide open...”

[@tommeyer3871]

watched this on the chessbrah twitch channel, and have to say Eric Hansen's calculation of Rh3 and all the following moves was very impressive. The game itself and Carlsen's precise moves, however were even more impressive to me, obviously.

[@siddharthjain8526]

Happy birthday -Judit polgar

[@raikasupasayjin4549]

That one time when agadmator say try to pause the video and find the correct move and you really find it ! 😂😂 was so proud of my self xD

[@abitconfused]

I think I've found my new channel to be obsessed over.... The Jessica Biel comment had me in tears 😂

[@robertbentley5604]

FANTASTIC ENDGAME LESSON!!!! THANK YOU!!

[@Hesed6]

Fantastic chess channel. One of the best.

[@lllllMlllll]

I really really enjoyed this game .. oh man .. you can feel the tension through the recorded commentary of the game!

[@maxwelljann5462]

That's the best chess game I've seen all year. To win as black against maxime in that fashion was very impressive. To sacrifice the queen was awesome too. That wouldn't have occurred to me. Just the subtlety of moves that carlsen plays are amazing. Water from stone.

[@W.E.]

04:28 20. Nxc6 Bxc6 21. Bd4 Bb5 22. Kd2 h5 if 22. Ba7 Bd3 Would put Black up a piece ... wouldn't it?

[@gabornagy6637]

Why draw could not be reached with 14:56 Kc3 instead of Ra8?

[@theaveragegenius1376]

3:30 ahh h4 by carlsen,Yes it is Maxime Vachier Lagrave Carlsen.

[@ravenr4898]

Watched it live , was a great game

[@Pinchfire]

Most of Carlsen opponents fail because they lose a pawn at some point in the game. After that they can never equalize and Carlsen just exchanges pieces till the very end. And a pawn is strongest indeed in the "end", not in the beginning of a game. Another standard win for Magnus...

[@anom3778]

Best chess channel on the tube right?!

[@xxAutoFlowxx]

My boy Fabi is saving his strength for November

[@ldeans5620]

Excellent game, excellent commentary.

[@raygoshay4096]

Jessica Biel est mon fond d'écran en ce moment! Ce n'est pas un mensonge.

[@goncaloalmeida7029]

The engine says that after Kf2 at 11:49 the evaluation jumps from -2.1 to -5.7 so that must be the "loosing" move. The engine suggested Re2 instead of Kf2 to keep the evaluation at -2.1

[@shantodas8184]

"google should really take note that the biel chess festival is currently being played & stop offering me images of jessica biel" 😅

[@StahliCell]

What an entertaining game!! Carlsen shows his endgame brilliancy once again!

[@mustafamuhammed4883]

Please keep uploading I absolutely love it

[@gheffz]

Brilliant, brilliant game... every time I see Carlsen play the more I believe he is fit to be World Champion!

[@dhanarputra555]

Rh3 is the most intuitive attacking move. I found it instantly because as an amateur, that position happen almost in every endgame. Carlsen didn't outplay MVL here, but give him some onboard puzzle-like position. Just like Lasker did in his prime.

[@aldenalcanse9766]

agadmator back at it again with the chess psychology

[@ScoopexUs]

Sometimes the difference can be as small as gaining a tempo at the right time, I suppose. Magnus made his rooks active all over the board, but Maxime sort of kept his at the outskirts, lowering their power. But of course it was finding the only move that didn't give a draw that gave the chance for a nice win.

[@naijuwandawson1587]

Awesome video, Carlsen is unstoppable

[@ChessHistorian]

That tempo snatching one-two punch was so cool!

[@72bigroj]

At 12:40, can't you also put the C3 rook to C2 and force a trade then bring A3 pawn to A2?

[@AlwaysAudacity]

When I think of mating, I often think of Biel.

[@TheHigherSpace]

I keep saying this in every video, Carlsen is the best endgame player of all time ... In this game, the fact that Svidler said it's a draw speaks by itself ... PS : please do not respond to this comment; it's not a discussion, I'm just giving my opinion. EDIT : PPS : If you disagree, please don't jump from the highest building in your neighborhood.

[@ericsbuds]

would you care to dispute that claim?? jk jk

[@heroricspiritfreinen38]

TimelineUpdates He's a strong player

[@jackmuller5478]

i will just respond out of principle here even tho i have nothing to say

[@michaeltrumph121]

Ever heard of Capablanca ?

[@cyberdragon3889]

If you are not interested to have a reply you can keep your opinion for yourself mate, no one asked for it!! Btw i agree with you, like agad said some time ago, 6 times out 10 carlsen is able to win a drawish position against top players

[@karim-yf9or]

very nice video,by the way where is your dog? I no longer see him,He usually used to lay on the couch.

[@tylerstrand4122]

At 7:12 would rook to e2 be mate for black?

[@hemanthkotagiri8865]

What flew over the camera at 15:37 in the video?! Mosquito?

[@mahmoudsayed4739]

That endgame is like a horror movie for Fabi lol

[@aletrnate24]

can someone explain why is king to g2 stronger at 13:17 rather than taking the rook with rb2? yes im aware of the check incoming and then getting rook but MVL could then move the king to the rook resulting in a draw. am i missing something?

[@christianbachtold2533]

12:45, why not rook c3 to c2?

[@movdqa]

All Aaron Nimzovitch? How about some games from My System?

[@zyzzmirincomeatme]

"The engine pretty much agreed with everything Carlsen did" - No surprise here :D

[@elegomeskin]

The champs' game is in top form. Carlsens' end game is the best. He will be heavily favored against Fabi.

[@perkkie]

when you said "that's unlikely to happen, so let's enjoy some photos..." i was expecting you to go "...of jessica biel". can't say i'm not disappointed

[@waiyanoo1102]

Before you said to pause the video to think of the next move, I was actually expecting the move Kc7 to be played. Not really sure if that works, but the e2 rook is pinned so it can't check the black king and this puts the black king one step closer to the a-file. Any chess masters can tell me why that might not work?

[@renx81]

What's wrong with images of Jessica Biel? :S

[@christiandrechsler3186]

agadmator's gay! I know it!

[@AcidicDelusion]

Ra usually she's wearing clothes

[@Curiumx]

At 12:25 why not rook from c3 to c2?

[@Attlanttizz]

Add _-jessica_ to your Google search

[@christiandrechsler3186]

wow such magic much voodoo

[@pranshusrivastava8353]

At 13:27, why didn't white simply capture the pawn? Then black captures and it's near impossible to checkmate with only took and king

[@tao44]

Rook and king is a very easy checkmate.

[@Lequee]

12:30 wouldn't Rcc2 also be a good move? If Rook takes pawn then rook c2 takes rook e2 check and you have two rooks against one.. and if rook e2 takes rook c2 then rook be takes rook c2 check and after king moves, push pawn.. and it should be winning for black right? Or am I missing something??

[@Lequee]

Sorry for the long explanation, am not too good at writing chess moves

[@FryThatBacon]

any chance RC2 works as well as RH3?

[@jodhweijoundica3453]

4:38 you can't capture on h7 because the light squared bishop is hanging, the pawn protecting it is pinned to the king by a rook

[@PublishVide]

why not hook to c2 in “12:55”?

[@upenditv731]

Idk if I'd describe his style of chess as surgical or musical. Either way it's certainly gorgeous.

[@clemepi]

14:56 what if white plays Kc2 or Kc3?

[@alexanderehrentraut4493]

Wouldn't be Rb2 - c2 also winning?

[@flatearthpond3625]

Haven't played chess in 27 years, since I was 10 or so but 2 weeks of watching your play throughs of these games let me challenge Stockfish 1(lmmfao) and checkmate it in 40 (1st time I ever played against it) so I'm 1-0-0 for stockfish 1 (1350) Thank you

[@magicaryeh]

nice i still cant beat my dad lol :D

[@flatearthpond3625]

motormanek... my dad was a challenge too he taught me how the pieces moved them whipped my ass for 5 years or so lmmfao never let me win (thank you dad you did me right) I'm stuck on stockfish lvl4 (1600) lol stockfish eats my London alive... add me on Lichess- FlatPlaneChess we can practice together lol

[@nickshtenikov1261]

Look like Fabi's win in candidates have awaken the beast

[@pttn3912]

"It's ok to have an active king, but it's not ok to have a TOO active king!" - Agadmator

[@maxwelljann5462]

completely amazing

[@samuelcolmenares4964]

Awesome videos, i love your channel. However there´s a mistake in one of your analysis, Bxa7 cant be played not because Ra8 but due to Bxd3 and black wins a piece. Thats why Kd2 was played.

[@mamamamamamamable]

Haha, that google comment killed me

[@vladimirmendoza2645]

legend has it that the real reason Magnus Carlsen plays like a super computer at chess is because of his power stance he takes while at the chess board

[@RFmath_]

By mvl not using the queen bishop battery ram and pushing for e5 instead - it gave carlsen a slight advantage (according to stockfish) and carlsen played pretty much a perfect game. Hard to play chess against someone that good.

[@reesemiller8193]

Agadmator, what country are you from?

[@JJ-kl7eq]

FYI According to the computer analysis from the Biel site the losing move was 70.Kf2

[@RexNunc]

you put the pause move in the thumbnail

[@IORI7x]

i was thinking about Rc2 Not work ?

[@Z3us333]

13:12 move Rc3c2 doesnt work?

[@mcdpmalddonald8118]

correct me if im wrong but shouldn't MVL have played this at 13:11 he could have had his a6 rook take blacks a3 pawn. here black probably not fall for the bait and take the rook, but instead check by playing h2 then proceed to get your rook, so then black is up a rook, although maybe MVL could have made a draw even still. Because even then it would be 1 rook vs 2 for white, but that's better than a rook plus a queen for black, eliminating the pawn as your only drawable option.

[@OldmanNix]

Who's Jessica Biel?

[@woohoo273]

This is the first grandmaster chess game I could comprehend 😀 my blitz games look a lot like this one ... chasing the kings around the board 😆

[@W.E.]

13:54 76. Ra4 Rh2 77. Ke3 Rh3 :) is quicker! 78. Kd2 Rh1 :)

[@davitdigmelashvili617]

damn this guy is a real machine... and thank you for these wonderful videos

[@samardas-zy1vu]

I am eagerly waiting for November

[@TheViciousVince]

i would enjoy you showing some photos of jessica biel as well

[@maraiste8596]

the photos next to the chessboard are great

[@SylarTheBest]

After 13:07 - what's wrong with capturing the pawn, for a draw?

[@JokerExperiment]

Not a draw, if you capture the pawn black will capture the rook in front of the king first, checking it. You will capture the rook (so material now equal), but after the king captures black can capture white's rook for a king-rook vs. king endgame.

[@SylarTheBest]

JokerExperiment I see. Thanks for the explanation

[@ex0duzz]

Pirc defence is pronounced purtz or Piertz and not pirk?

[@juliusuus]

I saw the endgame live, great game 💪😎

[@MrSupernova111]

Hilarious psychological interpretation of the photos before the game analysis. haha

[@OverlyHonestGaming]

Magnus Carlsen needs to play against alpha zero. I wanna see that game!

[@taylantorin]

Magnus is the most formidable human player, but he will be very easily crushed by Houdini 6, which is crushed by Komodo 11, which is crushed by Stockfish 9 which, in turn, is very easily crushed by Alpha Zero.

[@jerubalares4477]

Truly an amazing game

[@Mrius86]

Who is the quickest singer? Immediate Piaf

[@electricmaster23]

@1:56, did you mean to say that _White_ can have a very good game?

[@bigbucks0692]

Why not b3?
