It Takes 2 to Party || Carlsen vs Anand || Croatia Grand Chess Tour (2019)

It's quite rare for Carlsen to enter the endgame with a one pawn advantage and then draw the game. Well done by Anand!

Let's just take a moment and increase our vast knowledge by enjoying this quote 18:23: "What you will have to do here? Well, you'll not have to do anything here." (AGADMATOR)

Very instructive final, everyone can do a chess game analysis actually using chess engines, but you explain the things very well for every player no matter his level is and you stop in the main playable variants wasting only the necessary time but no more so you don't bore or annoy the audience.

@@Icanttakethisanymore No, I was watching the live stream. it was 30 seconds to 13 minutes 30ish seconds, pretty sure.

[@jaswanthkrishna1091]

So Anand blundered by going for the queen? He could have dragged the game and let Carlsen's clock run out.

[@hituldesai7174]

@@jaswanthkrishna1091 First of all, there was delay of 30 seconds involved so that wouldn't have happened because playing that endgame to a draw for Magnus with 30 seconds each move was more than enough. Second of all, these are World Champion and former World champion we are talking about, don't you think that is too cheap and disrespectful for their taste? No Anand wouldn't have done it

[@Ayoub-sk8dj]

5:28 can someone explain to me why white didn't pkay knight d5 kicking away the rook and winning the night

[@mitchellvalmonte2937]

Rook c5

[@colinjava8447]

Cause Rc5 gets the rook out of the whilst still defending the knight

[@aceofspades7460]

2:27 cant black just go qc4 with check then trade queen’s with check then knight to a6 ?

[@mikemcculty2933]

16:21 why not Qf3 check. Trade everything with a 2 move advantage of the white king on the queen side?

[@mitchellvalmonte2937]

I believe it would still be a draw

[@ramakrishnank4887]

After Qf3+ Qxf3, Nxf3, black need not capture the knight at f3. He can instead move his own knight away from the White King. Not a clear victory from there for White.

What if he promotes to a knight at 15:47

[@rockingttalent3666]

doesn't matter. Though you probably got the answer yourself

[@dreggory82]

Now that is a satisfying draw.

[@kingsleyokechukwu127]

Some powerful game we have here. Phew!

[@merlinthetuna]

So in those positions like 18:22 where Carlsen promoting to a Queen would immediately lose it... what about promoting to a knight to prevent the fork? I know that two knights can't checkmate on their own, but with pawns still on the board, is it viable to push for a win that way?

[@concealedinrainbows]

At this point I'm sure Morozevich has played every chess opening

[@TomTomxJ]

What would happen if you underpromore to a knight then he can't fork queen and king

[@studysingh4553]

how is q c4 check in starting...after knight of white captures white b of black.

[@Itsmooonbeam]

The last move by carlsen was just gorgeous! Yes gorgeous!!

[@avonacolyte]

15:40 If black pushes h3, then this variation is still winning for White. The White king can get to the pawns on the a-file sooner than the Black king, even if it ignores the knight. To take advantage of the blunder, Black has to immediately rush the king over to the a-file to eliminate the White a-pawn and defend his own. Or am I wrong? Can a better player comment?

[@ranganathparankusam991]

Mind blowing game! Both played until the end . A some what rare ending now a days with no pieces on the board and only opposite Kings being there .

[@Samir.Hamoud]

2:27 , what about Queen in C3 with check ?

[@_craig_]

At 18:15 ...why not king to e6?

[@michaeljanapin9528]

King *rushing* to the queenside is a sight to behold🙃

[@Jobyone2]

Actually at mark 3:05 he can capture the knight because he has this knight D4 to B5 attacking black queen keeping his knight

[@young_dan_kee]

At 2:13 I cannot figure out why u don’t capture the bishop?

[@DariusOfPersia]

You do. That's what was played next. At 2:13 he is simply pointing out that if black were to capture the pawn on c3 with his queen it would be a mistake for the reasons he mentions (discovered attack from bishop, leading to the loss of the rook).

[@drutgat2]

That was great. Thanks to Magnus and Anand, and to you, Antonio.

[@FloydMaxwell]

Superb. As always. Thank you, Agadmator.

[@hniksic]

12:53 - "The position should be winning" (for white) - interestingly, the end-game tablebase shows it as a draw. Apparently the 2:1 pawn advantage is insufficient in that pawn arrangement; with just one pawn at a more advanced position, the position is indeed winning for white.

[@md.farhanabrarhossain5669]

It is analysed by Sesse the supercomputer. Agadmator used Sesse the supercomputer to analyse

[@maniseokand]

@agadmator Why would carlsen queen the pawn at 18:28... he should underpromote it to the night so that when anand gives a check with night he can capture with the night and have two nights against the king

[@saurabhkaushik4323]

Two Knights is a draw.

[@Censeo]

[@jasonebarola8133]

13:27 why carlsen not move his knight to f6? He could have a free knight or a free pawn and have that f4 pawn forward and win the game

[@tusharsharma1363]

So it would be like White -Nf6 Black-N X f6 White-K X f6 Black-K f3 White- Kg5 Black- K X g3 So Now white king is at g5 and black king at g3 And two cases occurs 1.)If white kings take h5 pawn Then black king takes f4 pawn Now actually black is winning Coz its closer two the queen side pawn White a4 Black a5( pawns stopping each other) Then White Kh4 Black ke4 Then black king will go d4 c4 b4 and finally Xa4 and end up getting a queen 2.)If white moves pawn forward So would black and both will have queen in 4 moves
