The 2022 Tata Steel Masters is a 14-player single round-robin taking place from 15-30 January in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands. World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen heads the field, which includes stars such as 2020 Champion Fabiano Caruana and Anish Giri.
The time control is 100 minutes for 40 moves followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment per move from move 1. If there is a tie for first place the top two after tiebreaks then play a 2-game blitz (5+3) playoff and, if still tied, an Armageddon game. The monetary prizes will be shared evenly.

This tournament will be one where Praggu would have learned a lot. He will be one who would have gained the most by playing so many Greats…

[@jefflittle8913]

I think his classical rating is "top 200", which is still incredible for his age, but I assume if not now then very soon he will be "top 100" in rating. He does seem to be playing at that level now.

My first Agadmator video was like 3-5 years ago. It was a brilliant one with a young Pragga vs an older GM. Since that moment I've watched hundreds of hours of chess videos, I follow the big tournaments and I even started playing and (re)introduced alot of friends to chess. Thanks for everything Agadmator and Pragga! U two together inspired me big time!

That was my first video, too!

@Complexus yes he is, but praggu is 16.

@Complexus in 3 years he can be around 2750 -2800 and also esipenko turning 20 in march

@Complexus it is in chess. Those 3 years are the difference for most prodigies from being just a competent gm to a top gm in the world

[@TransparentEclipse]

@Complexus fair enough

[@madhurkankane3472]

@Complexus if alireza can do that so it's not impossible for pragg. And that's why I mentioned a range

[@rahulvignesh2775]

Loved the commentary. Very instructive! Thank you, Agad

[@carlkligerman1981]

Medo looked a little bored about the Dubov test saga but resumed his usual posture for the recap of the game like the avid student of the game he is.

Wow, looking up praggus age out of curiosity I discovered we share a birthday. Cool, now I like him even more

[@giovannicorno1247]

I was looking the game live and for a long time I thought that quick win could come by sacrifing the Bishop in h5 to break in.

[@alahiri22]

Great to see you cover a game between two fine young GMs

[@Mysticolaylar]

This kid has fought, has put much more effort than the minister of defense. Great.

[@sunnycheong41]

Pragg is excellent in opening preparations but his technique to convert an advantage into a clear win as a game progresses to the middlegame and endgame is still suspect, due to his inexperience. The good thing is he himself realizes this shortcoming as he indicated in the post-game interview for this game. As such, he can only continue to improve and become better in the future. A player to watch.

[@kunal.burangi]

Agad calling "Pragu" is so cute... 🤣

[@cricketcsk03]

Last year, the Najdorf got absolutely steamrolled. This year, it is the Nimzo... It's funny how there are these trends in Chess. Some years, everyone plays the sicilian, some years, everyone avoids sicilian, or the grunfeld, etc.. And somehow, every year one opening gets absolutely smacked around. Even though all of these have existed for decades

The inventor of the PCR test supersedes any political bureaucrat. Kary Mullis, the inventor of the biotechnological process of PCR said the following: “Anyone can test positive for practically anything with a PCR test, if you run it long enough with PCR if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody. It doesn’t tell you that you’re sick.”

11:28. Black queen is not trapped though. Black can play Bd5 attack the queen. Best white can do is Qxd5, black Nxd5, white Rxd8. White will be up a rook, but with two connected pawns on Queenside, black has something to play. Not as bad as losing a queen

[@sahilkalsulkar3192]

Actually 11

[@bistrovogna]

@@davidhale8034 well, it's not that easy. I assume he would win vs Dubov, which for Carlsen's rating would mean +6.2 this tournament and a tpr of approximately 2900. Sorry, I didn't care to look up tables for tournament percentage score, p, so I used the simpler version to calculate which gives 2911 tpr. It would be close to 2900 with lookup from FIDE tables.

[@bistrovogna]

@@davidhale8034 You edited the post. But ok, you seemed to have a good laugh which is healthy. If Carlsen played this tournament's first 12 games with start rating of 2895 he would gain -1,1 ELO. With added hypothetical win vs Dubov he would be up 1,6 for a total of 2896,6 after tournament. 2900 will be incredibly hard to reach

Esipenko is playing great only against Magnus ! But strangely he doesn't play at the same level against others !

[@reevil402]

Wrong. Yes it's his second loss in this tournament. But he could have also accepted the early draw offer from Anish, which would make this loss his only loss in this tournament. Also he was playing for a win with the black pieces, which is also a risky choice to make. Drawing against Caruana, Carlsen and Mamedyarov is everything but a bad result.
