The Côte d’Ivoire Rapid & Blitz is the 1st stage of the 2019 Grand Chess Tour, with World Champion Magnus Carlsen heading a 10-player field that features 7 tour regulars and wild cards Wei Yi, Veselin Topalov and Bassem Amin. The event takes place in the Pullman Abidjan Hotel in Abidjan, Ivory Coast from May 8-12 and has a $150,000 prize fund.
The rapid section is a single round-robin with 3 rounds each day on the first 3 days. The time control is 25 minutes for all moves and a 10-second delay from move 1. The final 2 days are a blitz double round-robin, with 18 rounds of 5 minutes + 3-second delay blitz. Rapid games count double, with 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw.

[@beyondlimits8159]

He lost

We now enter to the "Room exchange variation of Agadmator chess channel"

[@romariosalas2649]

that is a really sharp line, mostly favourable for white

[@TheHigherSpace]

I don't know what's up with Carlsen this year .. he is crushing everything and everyone! He is not just winning like before, he is really bringing the pain here!

[@leerobbo92]

I think his World Championship prep must have been on another level. Wouldn't surprise me if they took advantage of Norway's Sesse supercomputer for at least some of it. Between the world's most naturally gifted player doing months and months of detailed preparation and study with some of the world's best opening experts, and the pressure of the World Championship being lifted from him for the foreseeable future, I think it's left him in an awesome place mentally. It's a joy to watch.

[@shreyasrajapurkar3816]

@@leerobbo92 just goes to say how crazy strong Caruana is as well

[@BenignViewer]

@@shreyasrajapurkar3816 Oh yeah, Caruana was seriously brilliant last year, he had a year that would top almost every other player who's ever lived, and would be a champion any other time, except in Carlsen's. Carlsen has seen off the greatest competition he might ever have I reckon, and has grown because of it.

[@leerobbo92]

@@shreyasrajapurkar3816 Absolutely, but I think it shows that Caruana's biggest strength by far is his preparation and openings. He just can't compete with Carlsen when it comes to faster time controls or unbalanced positions. To be fair to Caruana, absolutely no one can at the moment.

[@amjan]

@@leerobbo92 Nah, I don't think Carlsen's preparation was anything better then everybody's elses in today's world. It's just that for once he actually DID have some thorough preparation, when most of the time he goes by shere talent. So know he's got both the supreme talent and prepration that he often didn't have.

[@abdalla6732]

Everything was perfect except the sound .. it was a bit difficult to hear you without maximum volume.

[@goranbandic9387]

Yep, the sound could be better, but as usual agad rulez

[@mahdivaliyev5483]

Even with maximum volume I hardly hear

[@Quotenbrtchen]

Thanks a lot, buddy. Your channel makes my day.

[@tomrender89]

Appreciating your videos. I enjoy hearing the analysis and why certain moves are possible or not. I also liked that you gave chance to solve the game at the critical moment. This for me as a beginner was a really useful moment :).

hello agad! sempre sul pezzo a cazzo duro, alla grande!!!

You make very good job ! Keep going.

[@SMail_stats]

You are a professional just for posting this video. Very much appreciated! However I wouldn't mind if you posted these video after you return home. Keep up the great work

[@puremercury]

It really is a treat to see Carlsen playing at such a level. Extremely sound, pressing every advantage no matter how small, controlled aggression. . . Very much like Fischer in 1970-71.

[@danielj4000]

Man he is crushing it. His ideas make chess look simple. It’s like a fundamental approach to the game that only he see’s.

[@Varvitski]

For clarity, I think that the *quality* of the audio is very good. I agree with others as regards the volume, the level of which is just about adequate only whilst listening on headphones. However, a little tweak up on your mic setting, and all will be well. Thanks as ever for your videos. Glad to say I found the winning move!

[@gunnardale4518]

Excellent video, Excellent sound

[@blacksnake186s]

Love your channel. Would like to see one of your own games 😀

[@SebastianVazquezFerrero]

I had to turn up the volume for this one. Best wishes to you in the tournament! When will we see more of your own games? :D

[@pabloAT98]

Agadmator!! Excellent setup, the only recommendation I would give you is to increase the volume!! Cheers from Chile :)

[@shirishsharma8372]

Agadmator is the reason i use youtube today.

[@margefrugal9037]

Great new background huh

[@yanoushky2565]

**SUGGESTION** Hi Agadmetor, i'm a casual player and i like your videos. Sometimes you explain what could have happened if one move were played and i find it confusing to know if thats the moves that was played or if you explaining a possibility. I suggest that you put a marker , like a hue on the board, so it would be evident whether it's the real moves or a possible one. Thanks for the good content!

[@roherian7203]

It is so nice that you review all those GM games. Is it possible though that we see one of your games Agadmator?

Ding liren did not win 100 games in a row. He did not lose 100 times in a row. Just a clarification. Thanks for another great video.

[@jessemccarthy1893]

That would be outrageous if Ding actually did have a 100 game win streak!

[@emre12978]

An excellent video as always but sound is a bit low.

[@skebess]

Pronunciation of "Côte d'Ivoire": "Côte" is simply pronounced like "coat" (the clothing). "d'Ivoire" is pronounced "dee-vwaa-rrr", where "dee" sounds like in the word "deep", "waa" like in "waaf" (a dog bark), and "rrr" like in "grrr" (the sound an angry dog makes). #GrandChessTour

[@patmaschena9651]

its pronounces coat di vua

[@skebess]

@@patmaschena9651 No you're missing the r, *vuar. The r at the end is very important. It's not a silent r. Btw, it's French, in case you didn't know.

[@SanyaJuutilainen]

I'd say "Côte" is closer to "caught", only pronounced shorter. "Coat" has an extra vowel in it when pronounced.

[@Caaro99]

Nya-chan Production it more or less depends on your accent, French is spoken in dozens of countries and they each have their own unique accent but it’s all the same

[@skebess]

@@Caaro99 Of course it depends on your accent, and that's why usually when you're teaching a language to someone, you try to teach it with the accent of the country(ies) from which the language originated. You don't teach Arabic with an american accent, nor do you usually teach English with an Arabic accent. In the same way, you don't teach French with say a Chinese accent, you teach it with the accent of the country from which it originated, i.e. France. In the vast majority of France, "Côte d'Ivoire" is pronounced similarly to what I described.
