#suggestion let‘s call the b5 opening move the Carlsen Variation!

[@MarioSepulcra]

Very nice!

[@michaeljanapin9528]

The AlphaCarlsen Variation😀

[@spectre3671]

haha genius

[@jimlang7461]

It's just there

[@jeffsvilleusa]

lets call it the Dr. Drunky variation

[@JayHemzz]

Agadmator is fast becoming a religion. Captures captures, I'm converted.

[@georgeakridopoulos3299]

Hahah

[@Pablit0Games]

Its so bad why he cannot explain, why after b5 white cannot move the knight and Attack afroamerican rook on a8, even after c6 the b8 knight is stuck guarding that and all queenside development is delayed, so adgamator is not analysis games, he just show them and sometimes saying best evaluation of engine. So sad that hes not giving as much hearth as he does and he’s not spending too much time for preparation himself to proper analysis

[@sujoysengupta2734]

After c6, the Knight won't be stuck guarding the pawn as the fianchettoed Bishop will guard that and black will proceed with his normal development while White's Knight will be awkwardly placed. Don't expect spoon feeding, man.

[@zeekltk9893]

I thought Kc3, but then I realized the bishop was there.

[@ericanderson8676]

Some strange and inaccurate claims about Meier's time in the comments. Meier had 1:25 left on his clock when Magnus made his last move Qe4. Meier did not immediately resign. He wisely used the time available to see if there was anything he had missed and any way out. Thought for over a minute. Offered his hand in resignation with 4 seconds left.

[@sediqsadik3385]

Meier had 6 seconds on his clock, just for your vast knowledge :)

[@agadmator]

Thank you :)

[@ericanderson8676]

I had been refreshing all day for another video

[@Dr_stogie]

You and i both man

[@stevesoldchannel]

jesus. one small inaccuracy and it's muthaf-n curtains. e3 was the death knell. insane. meier seemed to have such a good position, too.

[@MarcioHAM]

I simply love your videos. Or do I? Yeah, I do!

[@twizzted3656]

At 7:05 after the knight to c6 from white, why not go castle to c8? You can take the knight with the castle after that and it will still be protected by the queen and if white then moves the knight somewhere else, black gets a free queen

[@jutscrowned5222]

Hey Agad, would you do a video with the board flip? So black is on the bottom. And white is on top so I can see proper openings with black!

[@TSgitaar]

I can't understand these kind of games. It seemed to me that Georg had the better position and all of a sudden its Magnus dominating again. I didn't see any obvious mistakes from Georg.... Its just very impressive stuff from the world champion.

[@cheya111]

The mistake: he was almost down a piece the entire game with the Knight stuck on G2. Also he was unable to support his 2 connected passed pawn.

[@TSgitaar]

@@cheya111 His 2 connected passed pawns did look very dangerous, but you are right. For a weaker player like me, its still mind-blowing to see a game like this.

[@arunh3]

"knight here, knight here, knight here, knight here" - Agadmator

[@lollycopter]

12:12

[@sasubpar]

He resigned with one second left on the clock. Magnus played Qe4 instantly and Meier knew immediately that he was lost.

[@marcjohn9404]

I did not see that King G8 to D6 move coming, what a monster King!

[@rkrmtest]

Carlsen is simply magnificent!! Truly a master at work..oh yeah, "captures captures" is appreciated again! :)

[@meeeeeeauuuuuuuu]

Thanks to Grenke Chess Classic for such awesome series.

[@MaKooRR]

17:35 why didn't he consider knight c3 while explaining? It seems like a nice move?

[@ronjamac]

I thought that, but then after 59.Nc3 Nf3+, White has two options 60. Kc1 or Kd1. In either case it follows ......Qe1+ and whatever white plays next, he loses one of the knights.

[@Qxoi90]

Hey Agadmator! I just started playing chess and really like your videos. They are entertaining and educational. So thanks for that ! :D As someone who started playing chess, it's pretty difficult to see all the moves you show. Will you ever do a video about the thought process behind some matches or moves? That would help! Anyway. Keep up the work, I'm really enjoying your videos!

[@nirolf12]

Watch interviews or pro analysis for that

[@heliocruz416]

12:18 after Nd4 it can go straight to f3, there's no need for those additional maneuvers

[@robertpesevski1641]

Great game! Congratulations for both of theme! Thanks a lot!

[@Mati-zc2ym]

4:10 How about 7.Ne5 dxe5(d5)? Winning an exchange or having nice knight on e5 and 8...Bb7 looks just weird

[@vatsalshah7983]

Hey I am begineer, why not at 14:30 after capturing the bishop, black gets queen, white can go for backrank check, king moves and white knight can capture 1 of the queen and give back the piece. Pawn down will have the possibility of draw lot more than losing! @Agadmator

[@jacquesbezuidenhout]

the newly promoted queen can also move back, defended by the knight. i.e black moves Qd8, blocking check, and has two queens now.

[@hollypeng1277]

then black queen can block

[@vatsalshah7983]

Thank you so much for clarifying. Great insights from you gentlemen!

[@Dante20321]

0:00 fast knowledge 3:02 first move

[@tonysang4462]

13:00 I would play queen to c1 cuz pawn can take if queen takes and you take the knight if the horse doesn’t move after the pawn

[@furratbahadori9103]

4:19 This is the first time I hear you say Fianchetto and it was great

[@jacquesbezuidenhout]

he's used it in a couple of videos already :-)

[@Snarkbar]

At 7:07, why not rook to c8?

[@dayyanzahidkhan2028]

If Rc8 then Ne7+ and it forks the king and rook.

[@sschneider9044]

Thanks for the video! Great!

[@jetharry352]

Congratulations, you are an excellent sipper of waters

[@augustinmat63]

[@KM-fl5jq]

Any comments from Grischuk on that new "no increment" FIDE rule? xD

[@matsyamakoshi8220]

Agadmator's Chess Channel: Great Chess, even better Mathskills like 100% minus 55%. Just Joking

[@alexandruepuran]

I find the new regulation AND the taking charge of the WCh quite of good common sense. What I’d suggest to FIDE right now is honoring Agadmator aka Our Antonio with a trophy of some sort and also a special prize for doing more for Chess than ALL the National Federations combined. Making chess more popular, better (if possible) understood and a lot more attractive and accessible. The vast knowledge of noobs also greatly improved. IF they are excellent subscribers (and they are) of course. And this is not a joke.

[@merlinthetuna]

Really starting to appreciate these "find the interesting move" segments now that I'm at the point of "Clearly it has to be bishop captures, but I have absolutely no idea why"

[@bezzlebedeviled4756]

7:34 -- Be1 is a poor move. Better is b4 immediately. (The bishop cannot be saved, as Carlsen can force the exchange anyway, as seen with the played Be1, and Bb4 is disastrous after Rb8. b4 followed by N/B exchange leaves White's queen nicely positioned on d2 -- and obviously there won't be a Black rook on c3 bringing down the property values.)

[@indramaniarora7901]

4:05 What about white plays Ne5?

[@mohan_hamal]

What happens if white plays Qa4 at the end?

[@wevertonveloso3638]

If was very hard to beat Carlsen in the fomer world championship format with time increment, in this new format will be impossible.

[@lollycopter]

The new format is mathematically the same. Both old and new formats start with 2 hours for the first 40 moves (100 minutes + 20 minutes of increment), 1 hour (50 minutes + 10 minutes of increment) for moves 41-60 and 15 minutes + increment for the rest of the game.

[@davejackson2390]

Yes but as seen at the shamkir chess tournament player struggle really hard against carlsen without the increments early on. He likes this format better, because it seems like he has no problems with no increments as he handles his time better and his opponents struggle much more often.

[@msalty2823]

What a tough loss. It seems that Meier had a good plan and was able to create connected passed pawns, only to lose in the end. Perhaps he made one or two slight inaccuracies which is enough against Magnus but he played so well and still remains without a point in the competition which has to be tough. I salute his fighting spirit.

[@Supware]

I'm curious: what about repetition before 40 moves, if draw by agreement isn't allowed?

[@anthonymendoza1327]

The rules say offer a draw. Draw by repetition is automatic. There is no offering involved.

[@michaelsolomon8871]

4:10 Why not 7.Ne5, threatening the rook?

[@cvpartners2423]

why @19.31 its a lost for white QxNa5. somebody please explain 🤔🤔🤔

[@Blue-nt3uy]

it was at this moment that the time stamp did not work and Carlo Viaña had to resign his trick

[@jangtheconqueror]

No increment seems like it was to reduce the draws that everyone is complaining about. At their level though, does it matter? All they have to do if they want to draw is go into a well known line of a well known opening and they will probably both know exactly how to draw the game.

[@YasserS19]

[@kimgysen10]

10:05 Couldn't Carlsen not just have grabbed that pawn on a4?

[@dioshin6530]

What if Meier did push the pawn after 13:53 and traded the bishop and the pawn? Thats an equal endgame, no?

[@dodekaedius]

How dare you to suggest moves, when Magnus Carlson plays in a tournament with so many other strong players. Just don't say "what if...?" Better ask yourself: "what do I miss, if...?"

Doesn't matter because Nc3 only hangs the Knight. After Nc3, Nf3+. The King has to move to c1 or d1. Doesn't matter which because Qe1+ will follow and White loses a Knight no matter what.
