The Pro Chess League is a $150,000 16-player team tournament taking place on Chess.com, featuring Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Anish Giri and many more top players. The first five weeks are a Swiss tournament that will see half the teams eliminated before the Playoffs, which are an 8-team knockout.
Each team has 6-10 players, but only 4 play each week, with an average rating cap of 2550 and at least one woman in each line-up. Each member of the team plays each member of the opposing team at 10+2 rapid chess. In case of a tie the players play another round of games at a faster time control.

[@Barbutt]

I also puzzled up before breakfast and didn’t notice my favorite coffee had been replaced with Folger’s Crystals!

[@user-de2gr8vu3w]

No one even can describe how it is funny always to see How Antonio is convincing us that B4 is the strongest move in chess history

[@daarom3472]

I mean if you can play it you should play it. In most cases it's winning.

[@joshuanoble2754]

It's a good tip, works a lot.

[@tuddgrimley8532]

The strongest move is pawn to b4, but the hardest to find is the move with the knight back.

[@Squatsheldon]

He has never been joking. It's literally the game breaking OP move in all of chess

[@michaelsdenney]

The "We can learn from Nodirbek" comment because he played b4 was priceless!

[@guillaumelagueyte1019]

Do at least 20 puzzles before breakfast Always bring your chessboard to the pub or to the library If b4 is available, always calculate it, chances are it's the best move in the position Agadmator's rules for life

[@jalureswara2719]

Felt like I was watching the old masters play. Truly an art.

[@VrishankPandey]

The fact that as of February 18th Abdusattarov has a rating of 2741.7 in classical chess, and his world rank is 14 which is just insane on how far he has gone now!

[@pineapplesareyummy6352]

I had Firouzja, Abdusattorov, Gukesh and Pragg as contenders for World Champion in the post-Carlsen era. Two of them are currently doing very nicely moving towards the top of the Elo table. Now we wait for the other two. I think Gukesh has been moving up too.

[@Wagefreedom]

Love your commentary, really brings the games alive for me.

[@landwolf00]

Abdusattarov is quickly becoming my favorite player. So many unique and exciting games!

[@djinnmagik]

Agadmator should go for World Chess Champion!! His alternatives in his videos are getting sharper and faster seeing all of the variations. My own chess games greatly improves watching his videos. Thanks for the awesome content, Antonio! ♚

The quote above the board is attributed to Kasparov but I actually read it years ago in Logical Chess Move By Move by Irving Chernev. Despite that, this channel is brilliant.

Esipenko rating decreased. He was 2730 when he played fide world cup. He played amazing chess with carlsen in world cup. These things happen in chess.

[@Axiomatic75]

There are always fluctuations. Not as wild as ours though, I'm bouncing around in a 200 point range

[@LordElwe]

His coach passed away in summer 2021 and then the war started at the beginning of 2022 so he has not had the best of times recently.

Nodirbek is just insane. What a player.

He could beat anyone, although he doesn’t always win. The potential is always there.

True magic. Still new and fresh play. Love it.

I guess Hikaru is trying to do what Antonio does ( with ease ) and is frustrating people. It’s not as easy as it looks Hikaru.

[@elyas4637]

Nodirbek is on the same league with Alireza, Hikaru, and Magnus. He just has this extremely good killer instinct and competitiveness. He and Alireza are the future of chess.

[@vinvintoday]

Dont think Alireza is still in contention, he wants to pursue fashion design. Hard to reach the top when you split your focus

[@sunset1394]

@@vinvintoday i know right, that's a bummer,but whatever he thinks.

[@elyas4637]

@@vinvintoday Depends really. He's kinda at the top already. Magnus has football, fantasy football, and poker and he's still good at chess. Hikaru has become a full-time streamer and is still a monster. If you're built differently than the rest he can pull it off. If he did quit chess then that's another matter. Kudos to him for whatever path he choose.

I dont Get the hype About alireza, the last few years he sucks

Instead of knight-e4, i was waiting for c4, but black went after eliminating White's dark square Bishop. I'm sure Bishop h7 check came as a complete surprise.

[@NONO-hz4vo]

This game was brilliant. I love when players turn a principled position and bait you into a bad position where they will get to play b4 and win the game.

[@MrK623]

The Nodirbek games are good because he plays unconventional moves and demonstrates another dimension of chess.
