Magnus saw Najdorf on the board & thought it was Maxime playing so decided to vent out all his frustration of losing the AI cup.

I loved referring the super engine moves as "Tal moves"🤣

[@kishanparmar4010]

Yeah😂

[@cygnustsp]

Been saying that for six years now

[@jonhall2274]

Why would the be referee to "Talk moves"? Shouldn't they be referred to as " Carlson moves" as he's not only the highest rated player ever, but has been #1 in ranking for like a decade(or longer?) (I truly do not know, I am a VERY casual cheese hobbyist, and mainly just watch this channel for all my chess news, and knowledge, so I only know the extremely bare minimum compared to 99% of other commentators on here!)🤗😊😎

The one with Fabi at least, he mostly played e5 in the other ones. And even in the Fabi world championship match he played 2.Nc6 going for Sveshnikov and Rossolimo lines.

[@Lupinicus1664]

I used to play the Najdorf in the 70s and 80s and the Bc4 move was known as Fischer's back then. Magnus' handling of it was different though and he made it look very easy (but then he does that). Think I read somewhere that it is (or at least once was) the most analysed opening (probably before engines). Great fun to play, on either side.

[@stephenl7048]

After 6...e6 Fischer always played Bb3 to avoid The BN capturing on e4 and after Nxe4 Black has d5, forking. No reason why Vincent could not play 7...Nxe4 here. 8Nxe4 d5 9Bg5 Be7 and white has nothing.

[@cpking7]

"29 moves is enough for any man" really made me laugh!

[@mariusvansoeren7499]

A game like this deserves a 20 min vid in my humble opinion

[@dragonpuppet_ilso]

I played chess everyday for the past 5 years or so, and have watched Agadmator on and off. Mainly cause I don't use KZbin too much. But I am just glad to be back on a great episode

What's your rating?

[@twentyrothmans7308]

Brutal. How the hell did he make that look so easy?

[@antheus3906]

Didn't look easy to me at all. The deep calc to know how all the sacs end up in Magnus' favour is stunning.

[@Phantoharibo]

because keymer messed up his prep and lost on the opening.

[@notinvegas]

This was one of the most stressful chess game if ever witnessed .Thanks for sharing

[@richardoelkers]

Always fun to watch these games with you. Perfect commentary as always

[@raylopez99]

I realize that Kasparov said a knight on f5 is worth a pawn, but this is ridiculous, it's worth the entire game! I don't know what's more impressive, that Magnus found Nf5!! or that they were out of theory so quickly in the heavily studied Najdorf.

[@Thanos-hp1mw]

Exactly. Out of book on a Bc4 Najdorf? Incredibly surprising. Goes to show the complexity of the game.

[@daviddurbin7682]

Absolutely crushing

[@alpha007org]

This reminds me of old games on Commodore 64 I played. For the first couple of levels, you could slack off, but then when you got to later levels, you start playing your A game.

[@user-ee1lo1il3f]

i don't think Bd5 is hard to find but probably it was difficult to evaluate the position with a queen but down three pieces and poor pawn structure. intuitively seems tough to play practically for white but ofc engine makes it look easy.

[@HelloImDavid1000]

Shows how well one of the previous lower rated opponents did to reach 61 moves.

[@solcharms6658]

After Rh5+ why not give up the queen for rook and knight to play 2 rooks vs queen?

[@GroovingPict]

Im not sure which Norwegian told you the "sh" pronunciation was wrong, as it definitely depends on where in Norway you are. Sure, the word "spill" on its own is always without "sh" sound, but when put together like in "offerspill" it's not uncommon (in fact I would say it's more common, certainly for people in eastern Norway (where most of the population is)) that the pronunciation becomes "offershpill" as that is less awkward to say and rolls off the tongue easier (even for a Norwegian :p ). Then if you go to western Norway (Bergen etc), they pronounce the "R" differently (closer to the French way of saying it, ie at the back of the throat) so it's more natural to say "offerspill" without the "sh" sound there. So it depends on where in Norway you are, and saying it with a "sh" sound is definitely not incorrect at least

[@kkakdugiman]

Wasn't this game in Round 5 instead of Round 4 said by agadmator??

[@ronjohnson9690]

Amazing play by Magnus. When I saw Keymer was to play him I knew it would be tough, but Magnus cut through him like butter and picked up his toast.

Its actually so fking crazy that the rating disparity between number 1 and 2 is larger then number 2 and number 23 in fide rankings. The world champion title really does seem so meaningless when its clear that no one is really even close to magnus in terms of classical chess.

I certainly seems that it all comes down to finding that *one* move that makes all the difference

@@anttiharju3739 Magnus didn't win because of one move, he won because all his moves were excellent, and Vincent could not match that level of consistency. Brilliant moves in chess only exist because a player has made a mistake.

that B4 move just breaks Chess. I've been starting my games with it recently and crushing the competition. apparently it's called the polish opening. So if you can't get them to come to italy for your evans gambit, just take them to poland instead on move 1 lol.

[@goblin-night]

I prefer "Orangutang" to "Polish" or "Sokolsky". At club level deviating from what top players use usually scores better due to getting your opponent out of the book especiallt IF you can find a book that EXPLAINS the opening/variation rather than giving a jungle of engine lines.
