Depends on how you want to define “game of the year”. From a skill standpoint, the game is pretty bad. From an entertainment standpoint, it’s amazing. I’ll say that I PERSONALLY value high skill level games more when defining GOTY candidates, but to each their own ofc. Again, I’ll admit, the game is super entertaining.

insane game and was not expecting that finish at all watching it live

[@rosscatlin8868]

Agad's analysis nailed it. For it was Magnus who took the risks to gain some sort of initiative. Also, his queen's rook did nothing except to become a sacrificial lamb, which lead directly to the two passed pawns and the undoing of Richard's position. Awesome entertainment.

I don’t watch chess much but I understand that Magnus is a MASTERMIND. This was the time for defeat, he was at the brink of loss so many times and in the worst of times he somehow managed to find a solution. That is intense… genius.

[@Navin4061]

Crazy game! The bar was going crazy and even the engine was like "what the f**k are guys doing" lol. And no way Magnus should've won this and his reaction after the game said it all. But he tricked Rapport from an almost certain winning position into losing the game. A wild game indeed.

[@MrVsaby]

goes to show that with only a few seconds on the clock even the best players can win or lose it all. Rapport would have won this with any other time control 100/100.

[@carlodave9]

I think It’s more like Rapport tricked himself.

[@Ben-vg6ox]

More like rapport turned his brain off, Magnus himself said in the interview after he won the blitz championship that he did not prepare a 2nd queen promotion because he didn't expect Rapport to give him the opportunity to promote a 2nd queen

Bonkers game, brilliantly described.

Thank you, Agad for this game. I play this sort of position but, even though my opponents don't know what to do, I don't either.

Of all the powerful queens and sacrificed pieces and rooks, the strongest piece in this game was the a6 pawn.

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory…

[@the_potmo]

It might just be my style of play and lack of familiarity with modern chess, on the highest level, but watching the game, Magnus's moves seemed a lot easier to find. So many of the missed wins for Rapport were just ridiculously unnatural looking to me. Even though there were plenty of missed wins, the quality of the endgame play, when the smoke cleared and Magnus had 3 dangerous pawns for a rook, with best move after best move and no time left on the clock, was really impressive. Finally, he takes the rook, which, in a blitz game, is really the only move. The win the computer finds is almost impossible to find in a blitz game if you are human and before computers. I think a group of GMs analyzing an adjourned position would have trouble finding but maybe I am just dim. Really enjoyable game. I love your videos. Your choice of lines that you show and your explanation of the key positional ideas, rather than just drilling through some of the engine's crazy best moves. Reminds me of how chess was back in the day when I played seriously when I could beat all the computers most of the time. At least at my (1600ish rapid) level, the play doesn't seem that different from what it was, and thinking like a human beats humans, so we come up with a plan and execute the plan rather than coming up with a new plan each move, like computers.

[@james_wasson]

On these very short games I would, in certain positions, love to know what the computer thinks given very little time to see how accurate the players are.
