wouldn't be great to have agadmator comentating in the events? he is my favourite chess content creator

[@yukin2344]

i dont think he can do live comment

[@PaperGrape]

It takes a very high level player to do live commentary. You typically want GMs for live commentary. I don't think he would presume to do that.

[@derekbaker4763]

By a lot. He has brought more eyes to the table than any other content creator out there.

[@jimmylaporte370]

When you have a slow motion it's a wild game ^^ How is the armageddon side pick ?

[@hapeenes2927]

no clue about this particular tournament, but often the players will bid with time. Say i want to have black pieces cause i just need to draw i bid 8 minutes the other guy says he will take 7 minutes i say 6 he passes and i get to play with black pieces with 6 minutes vs white who has full 10 minutes.

[@pantlko70]

In 90,s there used be toss. One player will pick our blindfolded piece from the box and which ever Colour it comes out be his playing pieces

[@bigdaddy20272]

excuse me but...after 8:12 Q:f7 , instead of white trading queens on f7, Re7 looks like winning, threating to take the queen or deliver checkmate on the seventh rank. isn't it? :) not really because black can play Q:f2+ and then Kh2 Rc8 saving. still, after Q:d5 Q:b2 Rh7 white looks somewhat better than the trade variation with some winning chances.

[@akashgupta-ly2ps]

[@Vikinginvietnam]

Great game! OG of chess on youtube

[@abhishekjain3148]

7:50 Did anyone else thought of Qd7? it doesn't do anything besides of being a trick move that can win a rook, but it is probably too easy for players of this level to fall for it.

[@markn.7914]

That move wastes a tempo cause nobody will fall for it. That's a fatal mistake when you're attacking

[@abhishekjain3148]

@@markn.7914 yea ineffective at their level of play

[@ericsbuds]

thanks for the video :)

[@meysamghalyani1515]

in minute 8:06 , what about knight goes to d7 then the black rock takes knight then white plays rock to e8 . forces black to capture and white can bring the another queen and have 2 queens! or the black gives up the queen and loses !

[@skya6863]

I thought so too, but it loses to rook goes back to d8

[@toxicpony3381]

At 8:11 after 1. Nd7+ Rxd7 2. Qxd7 Qxf7 instead of trading I would play 3. Re7 with double attack on black queen and c7 pawn, threatening mate.

[@ClounKing]

At the pause the video moment, why not go knight d7, d8 rook takes, e1 rook checks king, black rook must take then pawn takes and queens, what am I missing ???

[@ClounKing]

7:40 is the time stamp, thanks.

[@sprfede]

black's D7 rook can go back to D8 and block the check

[@harshamnitj]

7:31 what about queen to d7?

[@ronniejmusic1284]

I read this as "Magnus Sacrifices The Rock"

[@farahibrahim4905]

8:09 ROCK e1 to e8 check then the black rock takes rock e8 then the pawn takes the black rock on e8 and then pawn becomes queen then you win tha game

[@Jonathan-ec9pp]

Black doesn't have to take the rook. After Re8+, black's rook on d7 goes back to d8 and blocks the check

[@nicbentulan]

Fabiano Caruana, Hans Niemann & Bobby Fischer are Jewish American. Coincidence? In 2022 Oct, oprocyona told me: 'Many decisions in tournament chess are made to favor the player that brings in the most sponsorship dollars and views, which is undoubtedly Magnus. There's also no doubt that Magnus generally dislikes americans- he said so on one of the Magnus effect podcast episodes' Hans is American like Bobby, Wesley So, Fabiano Caruana, Maurice Ashley, et al & is Jewish like Bobby, Fabi, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Sergey Karjakin, et al. Coincidence? Magnus' worst defeat was to Wesley So in the classical 2019 wfrcc finals. Magnus lost 3x classical games in a row. When was the last time in fide or pca wc finals a defending champion or higher rated player lost 3x classical games in a row? Also, Wesley So is American. Coincidence? Hans Niemann is like the last straw for Magnus Carlsen who has been fed up with Americans / Jews. I imagine Magnus thinks as follows: (Bobby Fischer would agree with me.) 1 - 'I couldn't beat American Wesley So in the 2019 WFRCC and again in 2020 St Louis 9LX. Damn that nobody "w"esley "s"o who got only 1 win in the 2018 candidates but then next year beats me in 3x classical FRC games in a row.' 2 - 'I couldn't beat Jewish American Fabi or Jewish Sergey in the classical portions of our WCCs.' 3 - '9LX, which I SUCK at, was invented by Jewish American Bobby Fischer.' 4 - 'American Eric Rosen beat me in 9LX.' 5 - 'American Hikaru is overrated and is really just "DECENT".' (Note: Hikaru became rapid WFRCC after betraying the US for Magnus. So never mind.) 6 - 'Canadian-American Andrea Botez doesn't know how knights move.' (Note: Alex & Andrea, unlike their dad, side w/ Magnus over Hans. Guess they're traitors too. So as w/ Hikaru, nvm.) 7 - 'Jewish American Danya almost beat me in lichess. Good thing I cheated.' 8 - 'Jewish Nepo almost beat me in the 2021 WCC. Good thing I cheated.' 9 - 'So far in WFRCC (2019) and St Louis 9LX (2020,2021), there was always an American in 1st place and a European in 2nd place.' (Note: This extended to 2022 for both. So more reasons for Magnus.) 10 - 'American Maurice Ashley was rude to me in the 2017 Paris GCT.' 11 - 'Some aren't even REAL Americans. American Rex Sinquefield is buying all these foreigners to be "Americans". Like I said, the US is "buying nerds"'. 12 - 'The Queen's Gambit is about an American ey? Well because I got only 2nd place in the 2019 WFRCC, NetflixtheQG gets only 5/6 from me! Beth Harmon is just a copy of Jewish Judit Polgar & Jewish American Bobby Fischer. Also, Judit's sibling Susan is Jewish American.' (And then all of a sudden it blows up in Magnus' face like...) 13 - 'Now, this Jewish American Hans beats me with the black pieces. Wait Hans has a history of cheating? Right, I can use cheating as an excuse to be a sore loser. Damn American STLCC for their poor cheating detection. Or STLCC was probably helping Hans cheat. In particular, Chris Bird. I wouldn't quit Tata Steel or Norway chess if Hans beat me there, but I would for the Sinquefield Cup.' . . . . . Source: zs4zpf P.S. Please help get American Wesley So on Jewish American Lex Fridman's podcast. See xcdhgq

Always look to sacrifice. It can be the pieces or the game

True that it can get someone discouraged to lose a piece but sometimes it can definitely be overcome and end up winning

[@aitordominguezcomin9147]

Did anyone else read the title with Levi’s voice?

[@nikoskoeln]

Not Sure but i think knight to e8 works also. After black rook Takes then White rook comes Up to the back rank. Then probably black Queen would Block. But then White Queen Takes rook and tha black Queen can Not Take the White Queen as pinned. Missing Something?

[@mohammadomarfaruk825]

[@rabbegmaher2290]

Rook to E7 isn't the best move in 8:12 i hope someone reply and elaborate why it's not possible to play .

[@ericfleet9602]

I assume you mean after Qxf7 then white play Re7 threatening the Queen and mate. If so, black pays Qxf2+ and is able to use the tempo to get the Queen back on defense.

[@alekhinesgun9997]

Qxf2 Kh2 Qc5 and white lost a pawn for no compensation.

[@vipuln99]

And he sacrified THE Rooooooohkkkk!

[@ronniesapp4469]

But being a novice can someone explain what it means when he tells its now a new game ? Ty.

[@alejandrotoraya7167]

New game because the position has not been reached before in high level chess I believe. So as of the moment he says that, it is uncharted territory for the players, outside of theory.

[@ronniesapp4469]

@@alejandrotoraya7167 ThankYou. It’s a great education in chess listening and watching his videos.

[@sofienkhamlich3564]

what about Qd7 defends the pawn and if rook takes, Knight takes back on d7 recapturing the black queen ?

[@stevenmilos6585]

Antonio: I thought that Queen to E8 would also have worked. I didn't calculate it all, but I think it would have worked, and what's better than a rook sacrifice? Of course, it's a Queen sacrifice :)

[@icecreamguy553]

I saw it immediately and was proud but then he said the move was Re3 and my spirit got destroyed

[@willpenman8892]

Me too! Rook takes, pawn takes and promotes, other rook takes the new queen, knight to D7 with the fork, king has to move, capture black’s queen - you’re up a whole rook it seems like

[@drugdje914]

After Rxf8 you are losing unfortunately...

[@willpenman8892]

Where? There’s no capture on f8

[@willpenman8892]

I guess after that sequence rook takes down on e1 and then you’re actually down material

[@Retube_StudioEsposito]

At 8m and 8secs, you have eatten the black rock with the queen? why instead, you didn't move rock to e8 check? it would be a force check mate :)

[@skya6863]

Rook d7 goes back to d8 after rook e8

[@Retube_StudioEsposito]

​@@skya6863 ok, rook back to d8, white rook e8 eat black rook on f8, now, you have to captcher or I am up a piece. If instead, rook d8 eat rook f8, bring up the queen to e8 check, with queen sacrifice.

[@TORALOLA]

Hi, where is the dog?

[@Adreiaun]

Please me analyze to see if this works. After Nd7+, Rxd7,Re8+, Rd8, Rxf8....What would white do? If Rxf8 then Qe8+, Rxe8, fxe8 promote to queen with check... I can't write notations well but hopefully someone follows
