The rapid is a single round-robin on the first 3 days with a time control of 25 minutes for all moves and a 10-second increment from move 1. The final 2 days are a blitz double round-robin, with 18 rounds of 5+2 blitz. Rapid games count double, with 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. Official website: grandchesstour.org

It's rare that I would offer a comment with Petrosian in mind, but here is one. Petrosian had a reputation of being defensive and boring, but it was games like this that made him world champion. Strong defending against fierce attackers. Petrosian deserves his due and Fabi paid him a tribute.

[@marcconnelly5652]

Good on Fabi. In the comments one of the guys explained the way out by asking a question. (Isn't it interesting smart people are so hesitant?) I perceived Chess as a creative smart sport, till I found there are these if/then/unless flowcharts being retained as patterns, and in a bigger picture are described as scenarios! You just wait for human errors to go wow! That's not my piece of cake but thanks for letting me learn these patterns. No one could have explained it better.

[@vampireducks1622]

It's not really a question whether Firouzja mixed up his lines or gave Caruana the edge on purpose, seeing as Firouzja says himself in the interview that he messed up the move order by playing d4 without B×Nc6 first. After that Caruana had a clear advantage and was always the favourite to win. This is not to belittle Caruana's play - we all know he is a great player - but it's just a fact that Firouzja blundered out of the opening here. Caruana himself described the game afterwards as a "gift". And Firouzja said he had "lost against [him]self" as Fabi "didn't really do anything special, because he didn't need to" [edit: though actually B×f2 to defend the position was a bit special]. That said, Caruana did well to defend against Firouzja's onslaught which smacked a little of desperation.

[@lawdogwales5921]

[@amjan]

I had no idea it was possible to be a fans of chess and not know Agadmator's channel. Come one, do you live under a rock? BTW, Lex didn't do a great job asking Magnus all those generic chess questions. That was a very poor interview. Perhaps Rogan could do a better job.

[@hoomanov]

FYI: mr Firouzja already stated that he lost to himself this game as he messed up the move order in the middlegame.

[@nunomacuacua]

In the opening ;-)

[@Me-fm9zk]

FYI: he only said that after he lost the game. He would not have said that if he played against another player and won. He lost to Fabi, he did not lose to himself.

[@nunomacuacua]

Chess aficionados nowadays, about Alireza, love him or despise him saying is overrated. I don't get it. In one hand he has clearly some flaws in his game on overall strategy. We don't need Kramnik to realise that sometimes he pushes to hard and struggles a lot to convert technical positions with small advantages. On the other hand what he has been accomplishing is extraordinary, and the numbers are there to confirm. Ali is a beast but I don't know if he's going to be the best (Abdusatorov? Gukesh?... Let's see). Of course it is interesting to observe that the only video (so far) shown from the tournament leader is the one he lost -- the draw against Shankland was a game much more interesting, for example. But ok, this is perfectly fine. I love Agadmator videos 🙂

[@anthonyschlott916]

He is extremely talented, but so many people want him to be the next Magnus which is putting the cart before the horse. Not to say that his accomplishments aren't impressive, but they keep feeding into this notion when, as you pointed out, there are also players like prag, abdusatorov, and gukesh vying for it. They're all still so young and have a lot of time to improve.

Very curious what you use as your database for games? 13...dxc3 is the actual novelty. d4 has been played before in 2018. Here is the game...Denes Boros (2445) vs Hua Ni (2670). You must only use OTB as your criteria for mentioning a novelty. Guess that's why I always notice a difference in our mentions of a novelty. I include online tournaments in my consideration for a novelty. Nice analysis though. Always interesting to see someone else's analysis on a game I analyzed myself. Best wishes.
