300+ Elo Lower Rated Than Magnus!

By the skin of his teeth is the expression you are looking for.

[@ronilevi7558]

⁠​⁠@FuriousMosesthey don’t. So the idea of ‘escaping by the skin of your teeth’ means to escape by nearly no margin at all

[@Ennar]

@FuriousMoses "Origin: This phrase first appeared in English in 1560 in the Geneva Bible, in Job 19:20. It provides a literal translation of the original Hebrew. Since teeth have no skin, the expression refers to the smallest possible measure." I would cite the source, but not just direct url, but any no matter how hermetic reference to any web site is forbidden black magic for this platform.

[@zebra3stripes]

Ah, now I understand why Agadmator reaches under the table and adjusts something at the beginning of a video. He has a memory knob down there. The expression popped into his head.

[@mrnemoid]

The level of preparation and just overall ability from 2500s/2600s this year has been insane to see. Like genuinely shocking, and not just against Magnus

[@user-hj7be8rg4k]

It's so amazing how authentic Agad is. He doesn't find the expression not even a minute in the video and doesn't record it again. Others have a cut every second when they don't say anything in the way intended. How often did the postman drop by or a call interrupted? Not sure but definitely more often than somewhere else. Keep going Agad 🙏

[@YourTravelDreams]

Im always amazed by how many colorful native English phrases Agad knows

[@Ennar]

I'd say quite like lots of users on Internet, you just don't ask yourself when you are talking to a random person if they are a native speaker or not, while you know Agad is not.

[@ChocolateMilk..]

The phrase he forgot is not English.

[@עומרעומר-ד9ח]

This is a phrase taken from Hebrew.

3rd : This guy beat Wesley So in the 2022 rapid WFRCC but didn't have a chance to play Magnus, Hikaru & Vladimir Fedoseev. Meanwhile Hikaru never won a classical 9LX game and Magnus lost the most classical 9LX games, specifically 4 games including losing 3x in a row to that nobody 'w'esley 's'o.

[@lmartins5776]

thanks for the video, excellent

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Magnus opponent with the two knights they didn’t seem to be doing much Magnus didn’t have too much difficulty navigating his pieces into great position

[@nimblesheepvenomous3811]

his pawns were somehow in the perfect spots to negate the knight jumps, and even though it was a closed position, the bishops just had great diagonals

[@jimskea224]

6:13 "I'm gonna be down a pawn and maybe I can defend this against Magnus". I think we all know what happens.

I'm convinced that Magnus only strives for completely new games as mentioned by Agad!

[@SaltyGrub1475]

People keep saying he's in a slump. I think he is tired of lines and wants to throw out madness and try to overcome it. It started with the bong cloud a few years ago and progressed into what we are getting now. Unexpected moves. So I agree with you.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Magnus' march toward that mythical 2900 rating seems to be of the "two steps forward, three steps back variety". I doubt he will ever return even to 2850.

[@jeromebranchetti6002]

Your doubt is all he needs to get back to 2850 😂

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

@@jeromebranchetti6002 I look forward to being astonished.

[@Mandolatron]

Every single player that goes against him will bring their absolute best focus possible. The margins between Grand Masters is not great and if Magnus is at all unfocused he can lose like anyone else. If I were him I would just disappear for a couple of years then have a great comeback story.

[@niagra898]

What he said ☝️

[@tobi4812]

Why should he disappear? If anything he should play more

[@dodekaedius]

Disappear in the era of online chess.... What else would you do if you disappeared for a few years? This doesn't sound logical or reasonable.

[@networkgame]

he just already won everything, it's like CR7 in Saudi now (which is also why Djokovic's right about superstars being overpaid but that's just for the sake of being narrative). He's like Elliah he's walking with God. If he didn't have strong opponents nobody would look except for the meme

[@ChocolateMilk..]

@@networkgame Not the same at all. CR7 hasn't won everything and is not considered the best simply because he's not.

#suggestion @Agad I love your channel but you need to fix your audio. It is clipping and it is hard to listen

[@Devastator411]

Idek how that expression makes sense, but when you hear it “by the skin of his teeth” it sounds like it makes sense.

[@nicktomato7]

i think it’s a saying specifically cuz it doesnt make sense - since teeth dont have skin it’s like you’re making it through by the thinnest margin there could ever be
