The Candidates Tournament 2018 is an eight-player double round-robin chess tournament, which will be held in Berlin, Germany, from 10-28 March 2018. The winner earns the right to challenge the defending world champion, Magnus Carlsen of Norway, in the World Chess Championship 2018.
The tournament will be contested as a double round-robin with each player playing 14 games. This means players will face each other twice (once with black pieces and once with the white pieces). Four rest days will take place: after rounds 3, 6, 9, and 12. The winner of this 8-player candidates tournament will be the challenger of Magnus Carlsen at the World Chess Championship 2018.
The prize fund (Regulations 3.8.1) is 420,000 euros, with 95,000 to the winner, 88,000 to second, 75,000 to third, down to 17,000 for last place. Prize money will be divided equally between players on the same score.

"It's better to be weird on photos than over the board" -agadmator

[@maxnullifidian]

Well, it's famous now! LOL

[@yugioh8810]

I literally went to the comment section to write this exact comment. This is a next level joke I laughed so loud that my roommate woke up xD

[@anranseverac660]

Rohan Chadha ii

[@longball756]

That is the funniest thing agadmator has ever said!!!

[@yukinoshita9373]

I don't get it can anyone explain

[@pttn3912]

Lessons from the game: 1. Better be weir on photos than over the board 2. Never get scared of actually winning the candidates 3. Never let someone infiltrate you from behind!

[@longball756]

Phương Trung Thái Nguyễn 😂😂😂😂

[@Stephan8989]

The second you said "Infiltrate Fabi from behind" I knew the comment section wouldn't disappoint. :) Great video.

[@omarabuhammour8396]

stephan ermel haha exactly, i paused the video and went straight to the comments

[@mayankbhaisora2699]

I thought the same bro 😂😂

[@saamspam6127]

3:43 Fabby got scared of actually winning the candidates. Damn what a roast

[@ramkoushik_vlogs]

6 fth i didn't get the roast actually

[@paulcue8618]

PUVVADA RAM KOUSHIK he was saying that by moving there with his bishop Fabi was just playing for a draw instead of trying to win.

[@malta3angwa]

Well, the winner has to meet Magnus afterwards. No surprise Caruana got scared. Anyone could got scared of playing with MC.

[@PaterTenebrarum1]

6 fth And it actually rings true.

[@eg2821]

Lmao “infiltrate Fabi from behind” 😂😂 never lose these glorious lines Toni!

[@JonathanPerez-mk3hp]

6:30 “infiltrate Fabi from behind” Lol I’m childish.

[@DevonDuke60]

Jonathan Perez it really didn't sound right 😂

[@zoltannosurname82]

I was about to comment this, Im happy im not the first to think of this...

[@stt5v2002]

Went to make this comment, but already too late lol.

[@martinprieto9713]

Lol i was gonna write the same!

[@egregiousarts6080]

Jonathan Perez Sodomy!

[@longball756]

Damn I’m excited to tell Mom my weirdness in photos just means I play good chess

[@robertjack4329]

you are the 5h17 man. been doing homework for the last 8 hours. Flip on to see what happened today in the candidates, see results of this game. immediately go to your channel. sure enough you have it covered.

[@agadmator]

It's how I roll :)

[@billbrandon5936]

[@arpit9180]

Monster of the match award goes to :- White's Light square bishop # Amazingly placed😍😍

[@ytubid]

Thank you, Antonio for your great game analysis... The photos in full screen are fabulous too!

[@nguyenthiminhchi985]

Thkssssss for covering the gameeee. Love from Vietnam.

[@valantonio7233]

d4 fischer said after his retirement... because d4 is protected bythe Q

[@MrSupernova111]

Phenomenal comeback from Karjakin in the tournament so far!

[@gillrowley7264]

I think I said this on a previous game, but your analysis seems to get better and better with every video. Thanks again.

[@kilimanjarno]

agadmator shows again why is he such a fantastically popular chess channel. Fantastic commentary. So good that each time I open the channel looking for the next Tal Botvinnik 1960 game, and I don't see it and feel cheated, then I watch what you post from the candidates and I forgive you!!

[@leslassiter6378]

Just watched this game earlier on The Chess Puzzler. Your presentation is vastly superior. You even considered a line that I would have played and showed me what was wrong with it. GOOD JOB!

[@M.E.D]

Best chess channel

[@kanhaiyakumarcse]

I was waiting for your commentry on this game.. beautiful game and a beautiful analysis.. thanks a lot #SergeyFan #Agadmator

[@richardfeynman5560]

Another excellent game from an exceptional tournament and the tension is still there!

[@MohamedAbdelrahmanMD]

Andrew Tang is the next world champion! I really enjoyed the commentary on this agadmator, thank you!

[@Humanprototype-wh8qr]

Love ur channel awesome stuff! And the dog is the best!

[@LavrencicUrban]

I'VE NEVER LISTENED TO YASSER, BUT ANTONIO IS NOW MY FAVORITE CHESS COMMENTATOR!

[@nik0096]

Excellent analysis of the game !!!

[@RolfyOlbap]

#suggestion Ding Liren Mamedyarov from Today. Requiem for a Giri.

[@fuzzylogic6646]

Rolfy Olbap I hope both Liren and Karjakin win the next round as they'll be facing each other in the last one :)

[@RolfyOlbap]

Fuzzy Logic Yeah !!!! The tournament has taken a good turn and what you mention would be a more interesting one, for me at least. We'll see what Caissa thinks about it. I hope the same as you.

[@edmt2165]

LET´S GO KARJAKIN!!!!!!!!

[@cygnustsp]

Very cool game, you do such a good job explaining how strategy and lines I would have used are terrible and would totally fail

[@Alex19781986]

I feel bad for Sergey...he played well and people are not happy with that!? I know the previous Carlsen-Karjakin match was somehow "boring"(I wouldn't use that word...)due to few decisive games and similar openings, but...it's a match and you just try your best to win! And It was such a close match! Karjakin even won the first decisive game and took the lead! I'd say that this candidate tournament is almost historical in chess, no matter who wins, he is the challenger! We just watch!

[@kasparov937]

Alex19781986 There werent many wins due to Sergeys amazing defense. Its not about wins but the quality of the games.

[@rickelmonoggin]

You really have to admire Karjakin's single mindedness and ruthlessness. A rematch of 2016's WC would be fascinating. I'm not sure I would bet against him either. I think he would wear Carlsen down.

[@kasparov937]

Richard Hunter Probably the toughest opponent for Carlsen, that 2016 match went all the way. Candidates not over yet though. Sergey should try not to lose from here. Yes he is ruthless, cold, calculating with nerves of steel. Exactly whats needed to win an event like this.

[@PaterTenebrarum1]

Richard Hunter To be sure, Carlsen actually got extremely lucky last time around. Karjakin let him get away in a game by blundering at a decisive moment.

[@AM-sp6je]

What a day it was today. Karjakin defeats Fabi, and Ding wins!

[@ailderwitha5591]

The Great White Shakh literally beat the Giri out of Ding.

[@stt5v2002]

Spoiler alert?! Lol

[@ailderwitha5591]

No, but he did force Giri out of Ding. Well, the result was horrible for him.

[@Just1Humanoid]

karjakin infiltrated fabi from behind you mean? :D

[@adityaaswal5164]

Just1Humanoid 6:30

[@user-uy2kw8od7t]

You nailed the General Zod look.

[@cygnustsp]

Best "hello everyone" yet

[@tiggerwoods8829]

Glad you are happy, #agadmator! When you are happy, your followers are happy.

[@Lazy.y]

Thanq Antonio ~

[@WantedReward93]

the variations of "Hello everyone!" get me everytime!

[@sniffableandirresistble]

Karyakin will be world champion!!!

[@zacharywoodford8530]

Infiltrate from behind lmao. Good for you for keeping a straight face sir

[@solosaroman]

Sergey is just great.He is the strongest of them all.

[@maxnullifidian]

This tournament gets more exciting every day.

[@user-bm9cv9vn2k]

14:35 In 2016, after Round 13 both had same points and Round 14 was Karjakin vs Caruana. Winner wins the tournament. 14:53 More like Big balls in candidates...

[@sameetkhadka8438]

well said agadmator well said

[@marcussinclair290]

Keep up the full screen photos content :D

[@H4something]

what a exciting energy 👍 what a lovely night again

[@seantayong6481]

The tactics are awesome..

[@vijayendramartin8608]

I m trying to text you on FB that where is today analysis of Sergey nd fabi but got the notification of your channel

[@epomeni-ekpompi]

very nice video very nice game

[@sampro454]

Cover 'Mr. Ding's' game?

[@sujaykherdekar7541]

Karjakin is back in form

[@Squirrelschaser]

Please cover Ding Liren game from today as well.

[@vitakyo982]

What is the best opening ? _ Bobby Fischer : e4 ...

[@UnXPLO1Table]

Sergey does have the strongest nerves and a level head. In the round 9 press conference, he said he was 'going step by step' and would 'have some chances' if he kept playing well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqLclWCAZpadp7sm35s That's when I thought that the guy was prepared to challenge Caruana all of a sudden. Perhaps he got a confidence boost from Kramnik's boycott of the conference, a flashback to Carlsen's boycott during the 2016 match when Sergey was in his prime. I'd still prefer Fabi to win, but he might indeed lose the tournament to Sergey (or Shakh, or Liren, or Alex - wow, how dense the top of the leaderboard is!).

[@matej0909]

when did kramnik boycott the press conference?

[@UnXPLO1Table]

Kramnik was so upset by his round 9 loss to Karjakin that Vladimir didn't attend the press conference after that particular round. At the start of the conference kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqLclWCAZpadp7s when Mrs Karlovich announced that she was hoping that Vladimir would join later, Sergey couldn't help grinning, as he knew that wouldn't happen :D Nastya's deep sigh just before she started talking was very telling too :D

[@AbhishekNayar]

Yes sergey karjakin is gonna win the candidates.

[@carlosdealcantara_]

When?

[@user-gj1zp3tg1i]

Thank You, Legend, Can you please let me know What's happening out there in the world? Jai Hind, Long Live Croatians

[@juliusuus]

Where is the close-up photo from Fabiano 🤔😳

[@armaanmalhotra9042]

🔥🔥🔥

[@nguyenthiminhchi985]

Woahhhhh Sergey is dominating

[@draganbozilov5268]

nice dog man

[@senatorsiu4610]

6:30 "Infiltrating Fabi from behind."

[@Spandex08]

what a few videos ago you said you hope you dont see karjakin vs carlsen again

[@user-fn5ip6tt9f]

Just wow

[@maxnullifidian]

I don't think any of these guys can beat Carlsen, but it'll be fun to watch one of them try.

[@mustafabahaj9832]

"Trying to infiltrate fabi from behind" LOL

[@jinks6dmosher]

It would be nice to see Karjakins revenge against Carlsen...i doubt it would be anything like 2 years ago...

[@kasparov937]

jinks6dmosher Will be interesting for sure, Sergey is very tough.

[@Dubickimus]

"...had... had like... the best second half of the tournament like... like... in ever." your loss for words says it all.

[@evankhan8257]

Lovely 🌹 games 🎮

[@mlgbblade5221]

Sergey is on fire

[@joesmith3829]

It’s ok to root for your guy Agadmator... win or lose

[@spencerallbritton9459]

I haven't kept up with chess in the last year as much as I used to. Can anyone tell me why Nakamura didn't qualify for the candidates tournament? Or the games he lost to keep him from entering?

[@Marlboro100sfan]

trying to infiltrate Fabi from behind 6:28 xD

[@mohammedbouchcoucha890]

#suggestion Ding Liren Mamedyarov from Today

[@nguyenthiminhchi985]

I'm againn agad

[@stinic4263]

Yo agadmator, explain how can white king advance at 13.41 if rook is covering whole lin?

[@vineetmoghe976]

Bg4 was described as fine move by Sergey. He even expected it. Also, it was one of the top engine suggestions. f5 was an option but in video you describe Bg4 as a panicky move. I don't think that is the case

[@MagnusAnand]

Karjakin is playing beautifully. A Carlsen-Karjakin rematch coming??

[@greg55666]

"As they say, it's better to be weird in photos than over the board." :)

[@abtking91]

The Candidates has now become truly fierce. I still want Fabi to win it, let's see what happens :).

[@alanreno]

one of the few videos I did not become distracted by the dog lol

[@WantedReward93]

Niki Riga is from Hellas!

[@da96103]

6:27 and trying infiltrate Fabi from behind. Notti Karjakin.

[@gireenlaw8374]

I have come for that dancing doggie, now I can sleep peacefully.

[@mihneaneacsu769]

4:20 The bishop on d5 is not a monster. It is pinned to the queen.

[@whenbored1725]

That intro was loud.. Haha

[@knuw3250]

didnt u say in a privious candidates tournemnt video that u dont want to see karjakin playing against magnus again coz it was boring ?

[@gdounito]

Ünal Cetiner regardless if he said it or not...ut was indeed very boring. Karjakin played not to lose.

[@knuw3250]

didnt want to criticize just recognized it. love ur channel agadmator, keep doing the good work :))

[@longball756]

He did say that!!

[@Juventinos]

Karjakin is very underrated.

[@ugurceliktas]

10:27 Agad could you explain why wouldn't it be a good move to take f7 pawn with bishop ? i'd consider that as a strong move and would probably play it,if queen captures you can win the queen with discovery,if not you can capture the rook on e8

[@ugurceliktas]

After recognizing my failed attemp at the move i decided not to remove my comment,remembering im playing agains a gm simply he'll capture my bishop and i lose a piece,but....Maybe after Queen f4 and then doing that move could work

[@benmichaels27]

Best hello everyone yet, give it a quick rewind if you missed it

[@inikous58]

"You know as they say its better to be weird on photos than over the board" I am pretty sure you are the first one saying it :D :D :D #highlight

[@TheNashwanaziz2000]

That's sergey the invisible beast that could kicked many big asses in this tournament

[@yashrajpal3637]

infiltrate fabi from behind😂😂

[@sk5940]

@Yash 😂😂😂😂😂. i think agdamator is saying it deliberately.

[@shantoreywilkins651]

Yash Rajpal 🎤🎤🎤🎤😍🎤🎤🎤 🎤🎤🎤🎤😍😍🎤🎤 🎤🎤🎤🎤😍🎤😍😍 🎤🎤🎤🎤😍🎤🎤🎤 🎤🎤🎤🎤😍🎤🎤🎤 🎤🎤🎤🎤😍🎤🎤🎤 🎤😍😍😍😍🎤🎤🎤 😍😍😍😍😍🎤🎤🎤 😍😍😍😍😍🎤🎤🎤 🎤😍😍😍🎤🎤🎤🎤

[@yashrajpal3637]

Shantorey Wilkins what do you wanna say?

[@davidczechowski5468]

At the end wasn't bishop d5 a very strong option because then you can push the a pawn with protection from the rook, and if you want to get rid of the bishop you need to sac the rook and then you push the g pawn and win

[@Horuschina]

Fabi could not avoid a massive back rank penetration

[@shikhargopal6596]

3:39 - Fabi really got scared of winning the candidates. LOL

[@oakleyg2870]

The line at 10:43 DOES work. After Qxd7, instead of Bxf7 check, you can go B to e4 check. This protects the rook and still wins the black queen. Or am I overlooking something else??

[@finsfinst4274]

Agadmator, it will be mighty interesting to see what will be the 1st move white will do next time Caruana will be playing black pieces - and what Caruana's response to it will be. Would you think that white will play e4 against Caruana and would you think Caruana would respond with something different than e5? Would you further think this means Caruana will come a bit less capable next time he plays black pieces, if so? This whole game looks like home preparation by Sergey, to me. It would be most curious if we'd see e4 - e5 next time Caruana plays black pieces, too! :) P.S. By the way, you said "trying to infiltrate Fabi from behind" in this video. I checked twice, you really did. Well... This reminds me of this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKOVnXSmZ76bnLM . :D

[@AM-sp6je]

"Trying to infiltrate Fabi from behind" If you know what I mean ;)

[@pamir-alichortv7291]

But Tal was weird over the board

[@masterantre]

Τhis dog looks well fed and happy.

[@habsrbad]

Lol. You know what they say: Its better to be weird in photo then over the board.

[@krzysztofq7420]

10:28 why not bishop to f7 ?

[@alexandereastwood1]

11:00 Bishop check idea fails as you can always just put the queen in front of the king(Qd6), taking the rook is less good as you can avoid fixing the white pawns, but to be honest both ways just end with white fighting for that draw. I came to this idea after thinking why not play to bishop e4 check, this would trade down to a rook endgame but you would be up 2 pawns. After 30 secs I saw the queen can just block by playing Qd6!!, as it can't take the rook, as the king is in check and the bishop is in the way of the rook. You just end up having to take the queen with the rook at some point as she is pin down.

[@longball756]

Carlsen Vs Karjakin 2!!!
