Deadly Bishops | Aronian vs Carlsen, Aimchess US Rapid 2021

[@baldingideas]

Hey Jerry, have been watching you over years, can't get enough of your commentary, any more titled arena commentaries coming soon?

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you. I don't know about soon, but there will be more. I like covering those events, mostly when the Doc is playing.

[@nathanculhane]

@@ChessNetwork Fingers crossed the doctor will play this evening in the titled arena!

[@redbutler751]

Yes please, more doc title arena commentaries

I was always partial to the bullet tournaments myself. Some truly epic moments in those. “Anton squared me!”

[@AlexWyattDrums]

Aronian’s position looked so strong, and then it crumbled in surprisingly quick fashion. Wow. Magnus was able to carefully prepare that f pawn break so that all the weak squares around his king were covered. It’s a great lesson, thanks Jerry.

[@FancifulBrian]

Thanks for the video Jerry :) long time fan

Thank you

[@bachianm2375]

Not only a great game, but - as usual - a great and instructive comment as well. Thank you, master Jerry!

[@johnfgibson17]

Great analysis of a great game! I watched this one live on chess24 and thought that Aronian would take control when the d5 hole opened up and he started exchanging and maneuvering a knight toward it. But I missed the subtler point of Magnus positioning bishops and rooks to take advantage of an eventual pawn break. It was amazing to see Magnus just take over after Qa8 and the knight retreat. Your video lays all this out so clearly! Thanks so much.

[@RussiJislakki]

Hi! Thanks for the video. I've really enjoyed watching your own commentated Rapid-games (where you always get in time trouble, since you spend too much time explaining the first 10 moves). Anyway, I hope I can see more of those!

[@sdavis9191]

Carlsen is a really elegant player while not being completely positional. His pieces never sweat.

[@KakhaBR]

Brilliant analyse. Make more videos like this, please. Thank you

[@JoseDownUnder]

Yaay !! Jerry is back with another GM game analysis (after 2 months gap) !! made my day !!

[@mattheidelbaugh4406]

Best analysis on KZbin and it’s not close

[@dandiaz19934]

What a beautiful position Carlsen achieved in the middle game!! All his pawns in dark squares, the way he coordinated the Queen with the White Bishop. They both played really interestingly! So cool to see a game where most of the game is shuffling pieces, with very little captures! It was a very elegant thing to see.

[@chaddoyle7719]

[@tljxedo3644]

Thanks for the upload, Jerry. Every time i see a new breakdown video of yours i know i'm going to learn something. Some feedback would be to go more in-depth for moves such as 9:10 and 12:47. At which point do you decide that you achieved what you wanted from the opening and start making positional improvements? And are those moves the best according to the engine? I'd love to see the evaluation showing the best move in the position or you explaining why it is the best move in said position. Also if a side makes a slight positional inaccuracy i'd love to see what the engine suggests otherwise. Some write off computer analyses as too complicated whereas to perfect our game we need to understand those moves better. Much love!

[@erikskov8759]

Just copy the PGN and put it into SF 14 on Lichess and you will get a perfect evaluation of the game. Btw. Magnus played a 100% accurate game!!! Levon didn't.

What happens if black plays 28…Bxa4?

[@julek94]

It was a good move - black gets a pawn and white gets some time (two tempi - Bxa4 and Bc6 back) in return to improve his position and play actively. Carlsen preferred not to give that time to Aronian.

I saw this match live on Norwegian television, (they show every games Magnus play). GM Jon Ludvig Hammer was commentating, and called this match an abseloutely beatdown by Carlsen! But then kept on to critized him for not sacking the rook, and trap his Queen😅 (that would have been more stylish he ment) Tough to be the best i guess😅

Yessss Jerry and Carlsen to start the weekend!

[@JacquesduPlessis11]

Not sure if you reply to comments, but if Levon had first moved his lightsquared bishop to d5 to exchange bishops and captured the d5 square with the knight, would that have made a difference in favour of Levon?

[@Dan-ul1hd]

Awesome video

[@locrianphyrigian3779]

Great work Jerry :)

[@h0rk3d]

whats wrong with nd4 on move 10?

[@user-svqmbiv]

After Nd4, I think white just trades knights on d4 and doubles your d pawns. Your d4 pawn will probably be a little weak and the structure is just a bit awkward I think. I just don't think it really helps black at all and it might give white something to play against.

Please make a video about alpha zero vs alpha zero(no casting game) Edit: Please like this so that he can see

[@wirelessbaguette8997]

Another interesting aspect of the early game is how much white moved his bishops in the early game. By move 15 white's light square bishop had moved 4 times, white's dark square bishop moved 4 times, while black had only moved 2 pieces more than once (3 if you include the bishop recapture on f6): the queen knight and the b pawn. These early tempi enabled black to get a crucial space advantage on the queenside that would not go challenged for the entirety of the game, culminating in the b pawn taking away one the the white queen's squares leaving her with no convenient way to escape the bishop pin of the knight on e3. I'm not sure that any of those early bishop moves were necessarily inaccurate per-se, but I do wonder if white had found some way to challenge black's furthest advanced pawn on b4 how the game might have gone. Thanks for the analysis as always!

[@ScottBub]

Thanks jerry.

[@amir_forooghi]

thumbs up if you want Jerry to update his beginner to chess master playlist. :)

[@stacithompson1853]

Was Aronian's Exf5 a gross blunder? Seems as if he could have done a productive move in the position like Qd1 or Qe2 and then forced Carlsen to use another tempo to play fxe4 and then secure the knight with dxe4

[@somewhere6]

The problems white created for himself by ExF5 jumped right out when watching the game. It plays right into what Black wants. The alternatives have to be considered even if they allow F4.

hey guys I didn't get the idea at 18:20, or it's me only?

[@amosdraak3536]

Just you 😅

[@phenomePaul]

Why is this opening so popular? White bishop just gets pushed back

[@tongpoo8985]

Because it gets pushed back to a square that's pretty favorable anyway. Pushing it back costs equal time for both sides, one pawn move = 1 bishop move. White tries to prove that the pawn pushes become a liability because of the squares it weakens, and that the beautifully placed light-square bishop and black's weakened squares on the queenside are more of an advantage than black's queenside space.

[@chriszod]

insane explanation

[@rumalf18]

And people say agadmator is the best chess comentator of all, all he does is blitz out the moves and then use some computer lines. His understanding of chess is much more limited than Jerrys.

[@GrosserHund87]

quite unfair towards agadmator tbh

@@GrosserHund87 how else he makes the videos so fast, i can literally count the same words he uses and when he adds something new, its something a computer found and he just plays them out.

[@KurtGodel-po3zl]

Oh yeah Jerry is miles ahead of the opposition. Agadmator is lazy and shallow in his analysis compared to Jerry.

[@UCreations]

Agadmator is different in style and still useful for many players. Jerry is probably more useful for elo 2000+ players (I'm not at that level, so it's guessing for me).

Finally first

[@giordanobruno9106]

You're not explaining enough. 28. Rae1 Bxa4 is playable. You should have shown those lines as they were arguably the most important in the game. If 28. b3, then Qa8 is strong because white has to walk into a pin with Qe4.

[@wreynolds1995]

I disagree, he's explaining plenty. He pointed out that the Bishop was pressuring a4, but said that in his view, the point of ...Bc6 is to control the Knight. After 28.Rae1, yes you could take a pawn, but why bother looking at the consequences of the pawn grab when the immediate 28...Qa8 is decisive? The a-pawn is worthless and putting the Bishop on f3 decides the game.

[@JimmyJJJohnson]

I guess Giordano's point is more that we could explain this a little more from white's perspective too? Once white plays 28. Rae1, yes, it's well explained why black proceeds with ...Qa8 instead of capturing on a4. What's missing is a look at why white cannot comfortably play 28.b3, and why white is willing to offer the a4 pawn with 28.Rae1. examining the lines after ...Bxa4 is less about why black didn't go for this, it's more about explaining why white was willing to allow this, as this is why 28.Rae1 was chosen.
