What is the point. It is better if there was Abdusattorov or Artemiev or someone like that

[@cosmovg9955]

@@bhagyaakalanka2433 🫠🤦‍♂️ they didn’t qualify….abasov was a world cup semifinalist. By ur own logic anish giri and wesley so should have been a part of the candidates. But, get this They Didn’t QUaliFY. if abdusuttorov or artemiev were semifinalists they would have made it to candidates but get this they Didn’t. Candidates aren’t decided randomly the slots are announced well in advance and players have ample time to aim for one of the slots if they couldn’t get one they weren’t able to perform when they needed to. So the point is that despite abasov getting a slot which frankly should have been for Magnus, he has drawn half the games he played. the games he lost weren’t all blowouts either, except his game against alireza he has lasted 50 moves in all his losses one great game where it took 80 moves with gukesh. If you dont get how that is very well done for someone rated a 100ELO lower you dont understand the difference btw their capabilities. Its like asking a freshman to take a sr. yr. course and he doesn’t completely shit the bed

Really enjoyed your breakdown of this game Agad that was quite the move from Gukesh spotting he could push his a pawn and if Abasov tried to prevent with Bishop Gukesh would be able to Fork Abasov Bishop and King with his knight in an interview with Levy asked Gukesh which format Chess does Gukesh prefer he noticed he doesn’t see Gukesh playing much Blitz or Bullet on line Gukesh says his preference is Classic over the Board he definitely seems right at home in his games he’s exceeded all expectations Rooting for him today with the White pieces

I'm still not seeing any remarkable Candidates chess compared to the 1970's Candidates bouts or Spassky vs Fischer final, not to mention the World Blitz Championship, etc. Can anyone explain this to me? Best regards & a superb posting!

[@turtle752436]

1600 "brilliancy": When Gukesh "goes after the weaknesses" ard 9:50 in the video, yes White would need the bishop to counter Blacks knight defender, but why not Bc4?. Its an excellent place for the bishop. If the rook goes for the pawn on c3 *and* threatens the developing bishop, Bb5 as black no longer has two rooks on the b file and the rooks are getting cutoff from each other by a bishop-pawn pair. If Black then threatens with a6, Bxd7, well supported, or even Rxd7 threatening Blacks Queen. If Rook does not take pawn after Bishop develops to c4, them perhaps d7 pawn could go for it, by moving to d5, but then en passant capture of the black pawn again threatens the queen and the capturing pawn, white's e pawn, becomes a passed pawn defended by doubled up rooks. Fishers bishop (at c4) is defended by the white queen. Where can the black queen go? Update: Engine line does take the pawn with the rook and if the queen is threatened can still retreat to c8 and white is in trouble. So yeah nothing there it seems Good review and recap Agad, thank you. We are at maxQ indeed, or thereabouts, two seasoned players and a young gun tied for first place with 2 games to go! What more could we the chess minions ask for? Exciting stuff indeed.

[@ZeCroiSSanT950]

Bc4 leads to Rxc3 and Rb3 is coming

[@stellartoast4587]

I'm so sad the Nh7 didn't get any recognition in this anayalsis, was looking forward to it 😢

[@davidanderson2357]

No brilliancies this game; just solid positional play with a few straight-forward tactics thrown in for good measure. Funny, though, how agadmator said early on that White's doubled pawns shouldn't be a problem when in fact they were Abisov's primary weakness.

[@DelonteJones]

At 3:53 I would’ve planted my knight on d4. Either the bishop ignores it and become ineffective or he undoubles my pawn structure

[@subrayahegde5370]

[@SadaguruPandit]

At 9.51 why not play Bishop B5. It breaks doubled rooks and puts pressure on e7 pawn.

[@James-ik1vh]

Very nice win Gukesh. 😊😅 Daniel, I thought that was really interesting that you said outside passed pawns are more valuable than inside ones. I think it's because it's harder for the king to get to them. What do you think?😊

[@jodymccullough5891]

White had the two bishops but in the end, the black knight totally dominated the position and the threats on both sides were just too much for white.

'Forcing the Queen to capture'! Why?

[@amitraohuman]

Antonio mentioned it - the white rook on f3 is weak. So if the white queen does not capture but tries to move somewhere, then the black queen would capture the white rook on f3 with tempo on the other white rook on d1.

[@GeraldM_inNC]

Watching the livestream, I was surprised that Abasov didn't resign at 13:40. White's position was so hopeless that even an amateur like me could win for Black. I would be surprised if any of your regular viewers missed RxR. The principle of overstretching a defensive piece (in this case, the White King) is one of the principles I learned from Agadmator that have so improved my play. Just the other day I had a very satisfying win against Lichess level 5 where the engine and I had equal resources in the end-game. I asked myself what have I learned from Agadmator that could win me this game, and overstretching a piece came instantly to mind. Very similar to this game, I realized that I could force the engine's King to commit to defending one impending passed pawn or the other but that it couldn't defend both.

[@IlyasDamila-jz8ru]

Sorry to say, but how abasov got through fide candidate with that low rating

[@dstreetz91]

I think it has to do with Magnus not participating that Abasov got in, but I'm not 100% sure on that as I can't recall the various ways one would qualify for the candidates tournament.

[@nickr.4120]

He got fourth in World Cup and the top 3 finishers in the World Cup make the candidates. Since Magnus dropped out and Magnus won the tourney, Abasov got in for placing 4th.
