Being pragmatic is indeed fabulous !!!!!!

[@continuous5382]

You include both prag and fabi in one sentence.😂

[@elimlinrr6898]

That's what Pragg would say if he wins. "Being fabulous is pragmatic" That's what Fabi would say if he wins😊

[@allah___maadarchod]

@@elimlinrr6898 being fabulous?? That's the byproduct of the personality traits. Being pragmatic is one of the best personality traits. So "being fabulous is pragmatic" is an incorrect sentence.

The fact that Pragg managed to pull a draw in a 4 vs 3 pawn rook endgame against the current world no. 2 while Kasparov had lost while he was the world no.1 is crazy!!!

Chess engines bro , players can analyse multiple possibilities with much greater accuracy which is why quality of games are changing rapidly.

[@sherklokholmes-er4mw]

​@@plendafuture7451 your argument is completely flawed . This means the opponent also does have access to modern tech which makes the game even tougher .

I like seeing them play to the end. There is something poetic about seeing the two Kings face to face , and the two players having a conversation as equals, when all the dust settles.

[@6571hero]

Why fabiano not move the King to d4 at the end of this game where in fact he has a chance to win the game.? I was confused of his move

[@arvindverma155]

28:55 white can make a check mate

[@mozykhongsai]

Wonderful commentry..

[@redwanurrahaman8644]

The endgame with the commentry is really interesting.I lost so many games being down a pawn,Only because I am impatient and can't play those waiting moves with rook.I always find ways to exchange the rook and lose the pawn endgame.

[@indianfan1029]

A simpler solution could be to go in the end game with two extra pawns, to avoid all this. Ofcourse its not entirely in our control to do that. But still an alternate method you can say, for agressive players who dont like those waiting moves

[@samle9131]

Caruana such a Chad. Instead of repeating moves with the king guarding the pawn into a known draw by repetition he just say F the pawn and moved away from it to end the draw quicker.

[@creativezone8072]

Great game

[@lifequotes4158]

Where to watch next ? Pls tell

Superb Prag to play world no. 2

[@primedevil3883]

Fabi moving his king away from the pawn at the end reminded me of a King running from battle leaving his last solider.

[@prasannajagtap7547]

PRAG LEGEND!!

[@SaiKrishna-ww9by]

I didn't understand why it was a draw because fabiano could have easily promoted his pawn at the end of the match Can anyone explain y

[@elawchess]

Fabiano couldn't have promoted his pawn without it getting captured or stalemate. That's why it's a draw

[@dr.pradeepkumar2209]

Since Pragg is his opponent, Caruana cannot do it. He can do it against a weak opponent.

[@swapnapaul5070]

If fabiano tries to push his pawn even further it won't be a check and black king would not have any squares to move.. so that's a stalemate

[@deshmukhbest7622]

Hard to believe! Can someone point me to a KZbin video that demonstrates this?@@dr.pradeepkumar2209

[@HareemAnsari-nm7eg]

What do they write on the paper 📜 after playing the move

[@pollymathic4118]

Each player keeps a score sheet where he records all the moves of the game, by both players. From this list of moves, the game between the two players can later be reconstructed/replayed in full, thus it serves as a historical document, but more importantly, with both players keeping track of the development of the game, it prevents claims of cheating, or conflicts over what the position is. At the end of the game both players must turn in to the hosting authority a copy of their signed/certified score sheet, making the record official. Think of what would happen if both players were not recording the moves and someone accidentally knocks over the board-these things can happen; not all games have video with thousands of observers and tight security around the board. Can each player remember all the moves? Do they both agree what the moves were? What if an unscrupulous player had a losing position and knocked the board over himself, and claimed it was an accident, and then disagreed, on purpose, about the position of the pieces? If there is no record, then how can the organizer / judge decide what is the right position? And if only one player recorded the moves, what keeps him honest but the other player independently recording the moves too? Of course, in the modern age with computer chess that auto-records and annotates the game and a bewildering number of alternative lines, many games don’t feature players using pen and paper, including lots of blitz or bullet games. Nevertheless the score sheet is an important part of chess and chess history.

[@user-cp9xn2xd4n]

Can anyone explain if Fabiano is 1 pawn up at 29:58 then why he didn't advanced it to the end? Wont he be winning

[@gsasikiran]

He will either lose a pawn or will be a stalemate, when played perfectly. Either way it is a draw

[@vishzx]

if i step off a physical board in an ongoing game, i won't know what move the opponent made when i return 💀
