4:52 crazy pawn structure

[@M3lb0urn3r]

The way Alireza blitzes through complex positions is just mind-blowing!

[@kenadams9725]

he's the best talent among the young generation, Magnus always rate him very high compare to the the other players

[@chichoskruch21]

Yeah this format definitely needs increment

Still impressive, beating Magnus more than 20 times is rare

[@vinniche]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@xaviercaffrey]

at 7:40 how is the black pawn pinned? if pawn goes from d3 to d2, and Queen captures on c2, then pawn takes on e1 with check as it promotes to a queen and black is up a whole rook. What am I missing?

[@raf5984]

I was gonna comment the exact same Edit: Whites rook is hanging with check also, woopsie

[@nishantintouch]

Out of all , Alireza, Hikaru, Fabi were/are the only ones who come even close to defeat MC and they fail everytime. Shows just how good Magnus is.

[@cptnoremac]

What do you mean? He's been defeated many times. He's probably lost more games than you've even played.

[@strooomon]

Love the channel. Never miss a video. Many, especially Dubov videos, e watched multiple times. I was happy the title did not give the winner away, however, I wish you had skipped the " flag off" comment. Total surprise makes following the game far more impactful

[@jimizuka-bk7ct]

Carlsen vs Firouza is very similar to Capablanca vs Alekhine

[@karabokayak5785]

True

[@xqs329]

The think with Alireza games is that they are never boring. He let's people play chess.

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

His most challenging opponent lives in his own head. Really a brilliant young guy. Hoping he continues to focus and succeed.

[@barun9665]

Players are still addressing media . Agad -- Hello Everyone

[@SamuelPearlman]

7:40 Was the pawn really pinned? Could Magnus not advance the pawn to d2, and if Qxc2 then Pxe1 --> Queen with check and be up a full Rook?

[@adershgr]

black rook on c8 is hanging with check

[@melsy9355]

@@adershgrwas gonna say that lol

[@SamuelPearlman]

@@adershgr Thx

[@rhysgriffiths9675]

Yeah but Agadmator saying that Alireza played Qf5 to pin the pawn is deceptive, because the main intention of the move is to attack Magnus's rook. It really has nothing to do with pinning his pawn, because after Magnus addresses the immediate threat, the pawn is still not pinned.

[@SamuelPearlman]

@@rhysgriffiths9675 agree

[@goncalofernandes8764]

3:38 "Sure you can take on d5". Why would you do that?

[@LiamSPenn]

Because these are the best players in the world and if they recapture that way you have two passed pawns but you don't recapture the free knight... In agadmators line you take the pawn back with tempo. It's super complicated and can not be seen in full at the time they need to see it

[@LiamSPenn]

Also I know nothing so I might be missing something but looking at the info these players need to think about, it's mind boggling

[@vincenzorapisardi6372]

75 moves for Magnus in order to get his 75° victory against Alireza 😮

[@apstore4365]

Hello agadmator, can you make some videos with old chess when no computer excisted. Its very intruiging to hear some old stories and to see some old genuine chess

[@gerhardmuller-pw4bx]

...that reminds me of the famous game "Klötzchenschieber vs Patzikovki"

[@OscarFernandez-bg8ot]

amargator What do you think of Prags new opening using the Sicilians defends, un where he plays h5 ? Both Magnus and he played it but both of them lost

[@pajapatak7555]

06:24 - Why not.... Bxf2 (for the black) ?!

[@melsy9355]

You would take back with the rook and have tempo on the queen since it’s being attacked

[@kcdarookie]

I would say after Rxf2 you need to move the black queen and for white Rook and Queen are nicely aligned to capture f7 with check, you can even double up with Ref1 and if you ever play f6 it will be met with g6 which would be aweful with queen on H rank. I guess you could defend f7 still with black queen but then it's just a bishop and knight trade and bishop is just worth a little more.

[@emmarice5697]

Can't wait for the next video

[@ronin7645]

Love the title!!!

[@Mr.A.Geo88]

When alireza was playing rook f1, what was stopping him from capturing pawn d4???

[@Mr.A.Geo88]

Queen would of been pinned and if he challenged the rook he could of doubled his rooks on white squares?

[@terciosardinha3235]

The b4 bias

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

All these crybabies in the comments section bemoaning the lack of increment. Hello! These are super GMs, and they have TWENTY minutes for their game. If they're as good as they think they are, they should utilize their time better in the middlegame. No sympathy here.

[@camilohiche4475]

You're missing the point entirely. The no increment complaint does not come from sympathy for the players. It's about making the experience as worthy, thus valuable, thus enjoyable as possible for everyone and that includes ultimately us the spectators of course. What's the interest of having top level players match up in top level chess for the first half of the game for then to have it turn into a drunken bar brawl level matchup in the endgame. Chess is a cerebral matchup (and in speed chess becomes even a physical matchup of who can move pieces precisely and hit the clock faster). Our thoughts and actions need a minimum time, even if a little bit of it. Make the game ultimately be decided by whose clock runs dry first is just lackluster, even after the "thrill" of the player's fight during the last seconds. In the games with +1 increment it's completely different because the players know that at every move they are rewarded with a tiny new lease at life and it's a true and fair battle of who finds the better moves quicker, let alone move their bodies quicker in OTB.

[@adrianorodriguesascaneppel8789]

Who win?

[@fernando2283]

Makes absolutely no sense to not have increment, all the games I have seen gone to flag, are so confusing and do not represent the proficiency of the players in my opinion.

[@OscarFernandez-bg8ot]

Magnus tried it against World Champion

[@jamshid1393]

You always happy when Alireza lose a game , but he is best second player now . Like it or not

[@ex0duzz]

Not a fan of Alireza. He tried to cheat vs Giri while also in time scramble, and after having blundered his rook for a bishop(after having let go of the piece and noticing it blundered the rook), he then tried to move it again to a safe square and pretend he didn't let go of the rook.. Giri had to pause the timer and call the arbiter who then made alireza play the original move(the blunder). The whole time alireza is trying to play dumb and act like he's shocked and didn't know what was going on. It's not the first time he has resorted to such dishonorable methods to win or get advantage in chess. Chess is supposed to be an honorable sport, and I have zero tolerance or empathy for people like that who feel the need to cheat or resort to less than honorable methods to gain some kind of advantage.

[@haddockpaddock]

Is this true, did it happen? There's no place for that behaviour in chess, especially at the top level.

[@Yytrruthhfyy]

It's not the first time? When was the last time? I think you are just a hater who got a chance and you speak like he is completely disrespectful.Think about the exact reason why you hate him
