Gelfand's Immortal Bishop | Gelfand vs Aronian | Candidates Tournament 2013. | Round 9

[@jeremiahdaniel7604]

Instead of preventing your opponent from achieving his plan, rather you should allow it. You should allow it if it doesn't work. -Agadmator (2018), A Valuable Lesson from Boris Gelfand

[@Wolfeson28]

Basically the same idea as the quote often attributed to Napoleon: "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

[@xalywero331]

Come for the chess, stay for Gelfand photos

[@lebareslep]

10:26 Qh7 is checkmate already, the pawn covers f8

[@josephinavomit8189]

you are an excellent checkmate player then

[@ghazwan2568]

find someone who doesn't give up on u as many times as Geldand gave up on his Bishop.

[@EsportsGod777]

Ghazwan Aliesh get a friend like aronian who won’t take your bishop no matter how much you ask him to lol

[@NiceBot724]

Find someone who looks at you like gelfand looks at levon

[@pthiago_s5075]

Gourish Biradar search for "deboche meme" from Brasil haha Deboche is a verb which means like "wtf/who u think u are?" Something like that, it's hard to explain 100% correctly in English

[@toara]

definitely rick astley

[@PH34RB]

New badge: I'm an excellent Sunday-haver.

[@mihailopavlovic2172]

I am glad that there are people that publish stuff like this! I am even more glad that it's someone from Balkan, keep on going man, your channel is pretty educative and good for us chess lovers! :)

[@landwolf00]

Came for sexy Gelfand photos, stayed for the chess.

[@travis5125]

(PM me if you like racy Gelfand photos.)

[@ajkonz]

Just blasted some Megadeth before watching this video and forgot to turn down the volume, you just said hello to my roommate and my two neighbours. Epic =]

[@nellateea3238]

sweet :D

[@teemusa5846]

I bet your room mates were like ”wut?”

[@Sakurajakaj]

I study law and i have an exam in 3 day. Still cheking every video you upload. I think i'm gonna resign this position

[@Marcineska]

Congratulations, you are an excellent learner

[@abdelrahmananbar6286]

Lol

[@erikouwehand]

[@realeyesrealisereallies97]

Loool I have finals ffs

[@Borzacchinni]

[@2596mr]

Paused my ad blocker just for this channel!

[@2596mr]

as you feel.

[@sivertkind]

Since i started watching your videos where you analyze matches and give advice about endgames, my chess rating has risen from 800 to 1000 in 2 months. Thank you so much

[@sivertkind]

I know its not much but you've given me a huge interest in chess and i might even consider it my new hobby now

[@nottoday3817]

I started playing again after 4 years after some guys in my class were playing at school. I usually play on Chess.com. After reaching to 1000 or something thanks to weird algorithm-Basically, I got 80 points or so per game because people kept resigning the games so I was catapulted into a higher league without any practice My rating dropped to like 700. I got back to 1000 in like 2 months thanks to this channel. Antonio is doing a great job.

[@sivertkind]

Omega Alpha yep. I love how he asks us to find the winning moves at the end of the games. I usually dont get them, but when I do I get so excited and feel like a GM because its like im the one who beat the opposite player

[@dan_s4916]

Agadmator: I hope you had an excellent Saturday and are having an excellent Sunday. Me: I had an excellent Sunday and Monday! (Probably because of Aus time zone)

[@wrthh]

Hello everyone 😀 The pitch of that word getting higher and higher every videos

[@frosty6989]

Thank you for making my sunday a great sunday! :)

[@awumbe]

One of my favorites game so far, just impressive

[@huaweiandroid125]

This game made my sunday! Awesome game, thank you, Antonio.

[@dan_s4916]

10:30 Qh7 is already checkmate as the pawn is guarding f8

[@richardfeynman5560]

Brilliantly played by Gelfand, he shows here why he is one of the very best!

[@bellal009]

i don't have much time these days, but if a gelfand video comes up i gotta see the amazing photos :)

[@goldenrooster7295]

Just got home from jogging-(new video from agadmator) Me:noice

[@RolfyOlbap]

Man, you have right. If you find the critical move, truly you starts to feel great.

[@sinisamilisavljevic8833]

At 14:24 on h7, instead of b4 could go R:h7. On white K:h7 comes black K:f5 and so on. Unfortunately, the white g pawn is still faster than the black b pawn so this comment doesn't make any difference... :( ~~~~~ "Life is like chess: you should always learn more about how to live." ~~~~~ I like your series a lot. Especially because I play chess since I was 4. (But I was never disciplined enough to play it really good.)

[@thefunnysmoke1526]

I got depressed this week but I still watch your videos❤

[@FloydMaxwell]

An amazing game and my respect for Gelfand grows. A very crafty player, very versatile in his responses.

[@b.ozgur.b.]

Can you make a video that all position that we can analyse at one, like in all your video that you said "you can pause and analyse"

[@ledieuducarnage7177]

Idea: maybe it would be cool to show the pictures at the moment in the game when they were taken.

[@mikechambers9129]

The reason I really enjoyed seeing this game was not just Gelfand's creativity with the bishop, but also Aronian's insight in not falling for the sequence of traps. It's a shame Levon doesn't seem to do well in the Candidates: I think he would be the strongest Challenger to Magnus.

[@siddharthjain8526]

I think I am really enjoying my Sunday.. Rook captures on c4 was easy to find.. And what a lesson gelfand teaches us

[@arlekin1976]

Now when I play chess I keep hearing agadmator`s voice commentating on my moves "And after knight takes, then peon a4 stopping any ideas of bishop to b5...."

[@f-oh-ex1964]

Same! The question I often find myself asking is "What would agadmator say"? So far the most often recurring phrase if "black has this beautufil bishop on...".

[@arlekin1976]

I can tell you what he wouldn`t often say if he was commentating my game....."and now a brilliant move..."

[@Yanzkieteevee]

Gelfand is the sexiest of this candidate he got a lot of media attention :D

[@djfahed3002]

12:55 rock to f7 check, king moves rock captures rock, white loses the pawn, but he is up a whole rock?

[@MatsMatsuo]

white just loses a pawn,as white rook on h7 is hanging

[@priyanshuraj7590]

Most modern immortal games were played against levon 🙂

[@ianson3]

Finally an explanation of what he's doing with the sound. I still don't hear any difference.

[@phil_the_bench_presser532]

Absolutely love Gelfand

[@adarshagrawal8068]

Most poisoned Bishop in the history of Chess🔥

[@alahiri22]

Beautiful game and nice video, Antonio

[@vinodshinde4610]

at 9:13 rook to e7 wins the game for white, please sir check this

[@jefferyverburgt4342]

I need your "hello everyone"'s That's all I need lol

[@DimitrisAndreou]

Near 12:10, Rf6+, why did black okay Kh7, allowing white to consolidate the pawn on e7? It was a nice puzzle opportunity to see what happens after Kh5

[@MatsMatsuo]

cause after Rg6 you're just getting mated in a few moves

[@jogzyg2036]

"Let me just mute the sounds" You know its an oldie when "sorry about that" isn't in the position.

[@heikeljdir8251]

Can you make a video of Raul capablanca game?

[@fpjmalabanan]

@12:57 why not check king with rook to to blacck rook?

[@tametheruckus]

If you find out please tell me

[@tametheruckus]

Oh cus king to G7 wins the other rook

[@cygnustsp]

Thank Saturn for agadmator Sunday videos

[@grapeshott]

Plz make some videos on junior level matches too. They are also fun

[@georgejenkinson8927]

I'm kind of new to high level chess. Why do these players seeming randomly move their king? For example Aronian played Kh8 at 3:17

[@dimitriskal2960]

To protect them.Notice that white doesn't have a dark square bishop but he does have a light square,so moving the king to a dark square helps a lot from future troubles :)

[@alienrenders]

Amazing game!

[@brbcrew9957]

Very beautiful game

[@fpjmalabanan]

@12:57 why not chek the black king pinning kind and rook

[@lightningprowess6031]

Kg7

[@hiimboosted649]

Nice video señor Antonio

[@DraoxxMusic]

hi boosted

[@kamaltrivedi2818]

13:00 ... Rxe7 is possible right? Because after that move they both have equal material and the dangerous pawn is eliminated

[@MatsMatsuo]

just loses a rook, black insta loses

[@duncanw9901]

Doesn't RgF8+ win a rook for gelfand? 12:55

[@puremercury]

Duncan W you mean Rf7+? You can take the rook on f1, but your rook on h7 is hanging after Kg6. Also, it would be impossible to protect the e7 pawn after that.

[@vinayvashisht6497]

Gelfand's moves are deeper than Challenger Deep!!

[@josephinavomit8189]

0:37 did you just step on my feet?

[@niladribiswas7068]

Please make a video of carlsen vs ding liren blitz in 2017 exhibition where carlsen sacrifices his queen

[@dark_magician_sdy]

Love it thanks agad

[@Smith_Jnr]

Excellent. Very enjoyable.

[@joenorsworthy]

When Gelfand gives Aronian that "look," it appears to be the position at 1:27 in your video.

[@LJLMETAL]

Great game! I saw the R×c4 move

[@bharatrathi5205]

Bro cam v have a game i know Gonna loose it but would have a good experience of a LIVE GAME ....PLZ ITS A REQUEST

[@ultrainstinctshaggy669]

Again, Gelfand needs to have his chess modelling career started. He'd make a great ambassador

[@TheFlanker47]

Stockfish 9 also make Bishop to C4 after the white Bishop take the pawn on f5.

[@kilimanjarno]

a near-brilliancy by Gelfand.

[@ninesrodriguez6641]

On 10:33 there is a defence Kf7

[@TheOnlyThrasher]

only very temporarily, after Rf1 the king can only escape to e6 and then rook captures on g6 forks the queen and black goes down to two rooks against a rook and a queen whilst still needing to deal with the passed pawn on e7. I think you're right that it doesn't lose immediately though

[@puremercury]

White can still play Rxg6. Black cannot capture with the queen, as Qxg6 is met with Rf1+. The queen is not protecting f4 anymore, so you cannot block with the rook on d4. If you do not take back, it would be a quick checkmate. If you take with the queen, Rf1+ wins it as the black king must move and leave her hanging. The best move for black would be Rd1+, forcing an exchange of rooks and buying time so the king can take on e7 and possibly escape.

[@ivcha007]

Immediately clicked 😁

[@JA_BRE]

Ivan Grobler Hahah!

[@ericsbuds]

very nice. quite the finish.

[@cygnustsp]

Just curious why dark suit coats are the preferred style in these tournaments

[@nottoday3817]

I believe it is the prestige of the game. People try to look serious, unlike so many games(well not just games) that became much of a show off in tournaments (like poker, bridge, pool)

[@michaelcooper6765]

when does carlson defend the title

[@punyashilshahare2152]

The wow game 😵

[@Jonathan-ec9pp]

#suggestion Every Gelfand's video should finish with that amazing picture of him (you which one I'm talking about)

[@jdfromparis6230]

12:57 Why not Rook F7+ winning the F1 rook?

[@lightningprowess6031]

Kg7

[@skyray3335]

Any tips for 900 rated player

[@Meliodas-wo3df]

Nice game👍

[@Whoo_Whoop]

My Saturday went well, I fell kind of sick today, but I did get a new puppy. How are you agadmator?

[@piotrczechowski8552]

So that's what he reaches for under the desk in the beginning of most of his videos! I always thought it's some kind of weird joke

[@MegaVauX]

You have mentioned drug tests a couple of times in the last few videos. Do chess players often use drugs? And if yes, which drugs are present?

[@linznsmith]

Johan I actually had the same question and fell down a pretty deep Google hole... It's actually interesting to read about it. www.inverse.com/article/27054-chess-performance-enhancing-drugs-doping-vassily-ivanchuk

[@rawwdawgg4801]

Aronian with the "Immortal" hidden thermos bottle again....... #Classic

[@debbieibrahim725]

I’m literally watching this on a sunday

[@12jswilson]

I also offered a bishop that couldn't be captured but my opponent captured it anyways. After I shook off my shock, I played #1

[@jeanlevantis7250]

Hello , first of all , good work for your amazing videos !. I play chess in a team . i started before two years . i am 15 years old , do you think i can be metre or if i work hard , GM ? Also , if i dont have chess lessons , i am reading book and doing exercices about chess ! It s my dream 😂👌

[@Toothmother]

Finally Gelfand WINS!

[@BoruchYehuda]

nice game

[@pthiago_s5075]

Damm I can't believe I founded 7:30 😱😱

[@davidelederman7337]

Wow! Aronian was destroyed with tattics there

[@magic8jorden]

Gelfand is genius

[@nathanjxaxson]

Go Gelfand!

[@ABHAYCHETTY]

Who is more suspicious,Gelfand or Levon? Neither Gelfand or Levon,its the thermos bottle.

[@DraoxxMusic]

Please change the channel's name into "Boris Gelfand Fan Club" #suggestion

[@ytmndman]

Agadmator, I challenged you on lichess last night but you ignored me :(

[@thesens8]

Boris is the best!

[@douglasquaid7550]

You have made Gelfand a sexsymbol!

[@cloudforest4087]

The anti-sacrifice.

[@ryczardpetroo2458]

Gelfand is an extremely dangerous player.

[@ThaAlkaholik13]

BORIS THE BEAST

[@leonidus181]

Nice 👌👌👌

[@alexpastor6188]

It seems every aronian game you show he s always loosing. What’s up with that

[@alkostach]

Damn, I though it was Gandalf's immortal.

[@iamgroot3615]

Gelfand really doesn’t like his light square bishop :(

[@sabipanalam8526]

Feel like seen a tal game
