Yes I agree he played very well with the pieces he had minus his Queen Ding Chilling like everyone say 😂

Amazing game! These are two masters who can calculate precisely even in a rapid game! Praggu's ability to do so at his young age is just astounding. Chess coaches should use this game to teach youngsters how to accurately play an endgame!

[@MooneLightEntertainment]

I think anyone other player would've lost this endgame against Pragg, except, maybe Magnus. I wasn't expecting Ding could still draw the game, again he proves why he belongs up there. This was such a battle

[@unslaadkrosis3489]

Ding is one of my favourite players and Pragg is so young but he’s on the same level as people twice his age! Incredible. He’s going places.

[@ramachandra776]

Ding showing why he deserves to be in the candidates and Pragg showing he belongs at the elite level 🙂 . The formation of bishop , knight and rook against queen is useful to know . Maybe call it the "Agadmator phalanx" 🤔 . But if you have a queen against rook , bishop and knight in a blitz game and low on time , eliminate the rook . Chances are the opponent wouldn't know how to mate with bishop and knight . he may need to watch the Agadmator video on that . 🙂

[@pineapplesareyummy6352]

Good point. The bishop and knight will also have to deliver the mate in 50 moves so the player has to be efficient.

[@kaiserauthoria]

We can find the first recorded instance of this and name it after them.

[@upsidedown9823]

Agree

[@lolvideos1712]

Agreed for casual games but I’m pretty sure that, in this case, Pragg knows how to mate with bishop and knight 😅

[@richardsanderson5670]

Antonio: When commenting on moves, you often speak of what "the engine" recommends. I think it would be great if you devoted an episode to your thoughts about chess engines. What engine do you use? Do you run all the games that you discuss through an engine analysis before deciding on your presentation (what to emphasize, which move to select for your "pause the video" moment, etc)

[@meshackomariba1110]

if you watch some of his old videos..a few years ago he used to mention the type of engine he uses and the normal depth he uses with the engines..Sometimes mentioning how he had left the engine to go to deeper depths through the night...i think videos made around the period he made alpha zero videos

[@GrabnarMyers]

Wow i cant believe knight bishop rook vs queen is a chessbase draw

[@ex0duzz]

With pawns it's probably a win for 3 minor pieces since the King can hide behind pawns and use those pawns to promote while also using those 3 pieces to gang up and win the opponents pawns. But in a pawnless open position like fhis the queen is too powerful and can check nonstop and generate too many fork threats if black pushes too much to attack white King instead of defending his own king from checks(and/or vice versa, aka using his King to defend his pieces and make sure he doesn't get forked and lose a piece).

[@ramkrishnakandari7515]

Excellent chess draw.

[@leoli1859]

analysed Qd4 with the engine for like 10 minutes and still don’t understand how one can find that move - I guess the point is to prevent the knight from helping block the passers + discoordinating black’s pieces.

[@pineapplesareyummy6352]

How did Ding hold this? I thought a queen against a rook, bishop and knight should be losing (though I understand it's also difficult to force the win because white can find so many ways to keep checking).

[@ex0duzz]

Maybe with pawns on the board, but on open board like this it is extremely hard to block against checks and to also create mating net. One wrong move and queen will fork your King and piece and then you could even lose. It's too much calculation and requires perfect play and a mistake from the opponent also since engines confirm it is a draw with perfect play
