Magnus Wins Because He is Magnus

[@Shooshawali]

Nothing inspires me to play better chess more than a nice Agadmator video analysis. Well done as always!

[@fourtime7]

🇳🇴 format I like. More tournaments with this format would be cool.

[@DemolitionManDemolishes]

Agad, when you say "it's completely new game", does it include the consequent moves? Like, for example, if a player makes the same moves, but in a different order - do you declare a "new" game at first deviation, or at the last one?

[@agadmator]

Mostly last one

[@tomhejda6450]

It's super rare that a position deviates significantly to get back to the same stuff. Mostly happens via different move order in the opening phase in known positions.

[@RichardRennes]

No, he resigned 2.3 seconds left with handshake.

[@irregularbass]

I has to be very frustrating for Fabiano being always behind Magnus

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

Chess is a ruthless game

[@caius6019]

Yea it has to suck knowing you're probably a top 5 player of all time, being a super prodigy and one of the highest rated ever and never being able to taste gold. Espescially from a legacy sense, everybody knows Usain Bolt, very few people know Yohan Blake even though he's the 2nd fastest man ever

[@nicktomato7]

Imagine being able to take the World Classical Champion to 12 classical draws *in a row* - and still never getting it

[@chosen729]

I mean. A lot of people are behind Magnus.

[@rogerstone3068]

I borrow from The wonderful Ben Finegold: "Truth hurts..."

[@lourencevanderbyl5540]

Magnus wins every queen and pawn endgame. Me:Why? Agadmator: because he is Magnus

[@badimus]

It didn't finish perfect. But yeah, 100% accuracy for quite a while.

[@ChessJourneyman]

Perfect against competition below top 500. She wouldn't be able to win an average open tour as a 2500 GM.

[@ennuiarduous6446]

7:07 He could go for taking pawn on e3 and perpetual. I assume it was not enough to draw a game as you mentioned?

[@jeythegrey]

This magnus dude seems really good. Looks like he has a bright future ahead of him.

[@LazarimFernando]

Praggnanandhaa was 3 points behind. He only had chance if Magnus lost in the classical. With the draw in the classical, Magnus made 1 point, so only Hikaru could reach Magnus, if he won the classical against Praggnanandhaa.

[@yigalzemach9083]

I don't know if you meant to reference it, but the title reminded me an old quote of Bogoljugov. When asked how he wins all these games, he said: well, when I am white it is because I have the advantage of the 1st move... and when you are black? (came the inevitable question) - when I am black, because I am Bogoljugov (was the answer).

[@muhammadwasee9454]

Can we please a make a great Ding Liren video to send him our love? I have a feeling that this beautiful human being may be going through a depressive phase in life, and we need to pick our champions up. I remember that time when he resigned a game to help you understand the depth of a position.

[@spidermiddleagedman]

If he has a depressive phase he most likely won't watch that Video.

[@spidermiddleagedman]

If you are depressed the least thing you care about is praise.

[@muhammadwasee9454]

While there is no telling what a person may or may not do, I think those are the phases when one especially needs to be reminded how loved he is. The whole chess world came down on him this Norway championship, and I for one would want to remind him that he got himself there, and he is a resilient enough to hold that position.

[@irregularbass]

I hear he's not motivated to go that far, sadly.

sadly wasted talent.. he getting old and lazy.. won't make World Champion effort..

[@anthonyschlott916]

​@@GoodOldFella970 Why does he need to? Magnus has been WCC and decided he can do better with his time than spending months preparing for one match. I still remember the Nepo match. Brutal.

I don't think overall, anyone gets anywhere near MC in the history of chess, specifically in end games.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Behind every great man is a... ...nearly-was.

[@AkumaAPN]

The Chess Engine thinks everything is a draw -- It sounds like Engines need a new parameter, where it can evaluate the position in terms of the Rating of each player for the given position. Of course everything is drawn of it's Stockfish vs Stockfish. But what about if it's Magnus vs Fabi? Lol. I think that may be a fun alternate tool for chess engines, to see if the position has a slight favor for a better player, or if it truly is a drawn position with reasonable play.

[@permanentlybored195]

This would take machine learning and it would be very expensive

[@AkumaAPN]

@permanentlybored195 Maybe. Maybe not. It could just be like a filter, or quick math conversion, or a secondary figure that can be multiplied by the difference in player rating. At a certain point, chess engine position analysis becomes useless if it only takes into account the playing strength of the engine itself. There becomes a disconnect as the Engine says a winnable position for a human is "drawn," or that a position is winnable when no human would ever be able to convert it over the board.

[@hp7639]

There is no way Agad ruined or spoiled the outcome.

Nice effort by Fabiano he kept it close it seems a lot of GMs miss that crucial move when they need it like Qd3 credit Magnus and lack of time on that one Spoiler alert ‼️ Magnus has won the event not sure exactly what happened with Hikaru Pragg but Hikaru did not win all Hail the Goat 😅♟️

[@naldebol]

I am reporting you for cheating. It looked like you already had the video before Magnus even finished his game . WTF ??!!

[@YeahSureLetsGoSeeYamcha]

Maybe I’m a purist, but every high profile match coming down to Armageddon is becoming anticlimactic and boring. Less time for GMs to analyze positions means they’re utilizing mostly instinct, preparation, and memorization rather than finding interesting lines. Not to mention it’s a somewhat different skill set than classical, so having primarily classical competitions come down to blitz just feels disingenuous.

[@maht0x]

it's one tourney

[@moon4tzuyupokeonce41]

I hate how schools and colleges give students a year's time before conducting final (year-end) exams, the students who study more get more marks and it's quite unfair because even dumb students who work hard can get as many marks as intelligent/clever students, instead they should give only 2 weeks times so that students who can show their out-of-the-box-thinking gets benefitted...

[@nicbentulan]

Why don't Fabi, Nepo & Hikaru buy out Liren? Each pays 333,333 USD. (Or 499,999 USD or whatever.) They have a playoff. Winner faces Gukesh. Each of these 5 players benefit. FIDE & audience benefit from having a better match. Hopefully it's not that no one is doing what everyone wants just because of something written in some book. In fact 4 of the 5 players actually lose money, and no one's hiding anything. They get FIDE's consent.

"...I don't wanna trick you guys..."; After years of learning from you, I've come to the conclusion that you would never do such a thing.

You have significantly improved your English when compared to your first KZbin videos. Keep it up.
