Rapport going for the french defence against a french opponent

[@mubaraksenju7521]

Hes just a chad...

[@ParleLeVu]

HONHONHONHONHONHONHONHONHOHNOHNOHNHONOHNHOHNOHN

[@jareddmenard]

...while being French himself!

[@qasimzulfikar8749]

​@@jareddmenard Rapport is Hungarian not French.

[@vincentmbwende9131]

There is a game you said was the most interesting game of the tournament but this one made me smile..Rapport is the reason I continue to love chess

[@luker.6967]

Rapport and Dubov and Ivanchuk

[@rhwing5095]

9:47 this has to be one of the most ridiculous engine sequences. Just hanging pieces everywhere and passed pawns.

[@Yusuf_K7]

This tournament is amazing. We’re getting Benoni, French, and hopefully more crazy positions out of less used openings at the top. Edit: The nice thing about Rapport is he makes everyone play crazy chess.

[@rorymcconaghey6728]

can't wait to tell my friends about this game at the bar and the library

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Wild game completely nuts

[@edwardebel1847]

Wait...what? You have friends at both the bar AND the library? :-). I'm not even sure where the library is!

[@stevenwentworth4618]

Thanks!

[@sanderhater1]

7:38 Of course you do, you guys are great players. Me? 😂😂😂

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Wow that’s what I’d call a crazy game pieces all over the place kind of incredible MVL survived the attacks from Rapport especially with Blacks Bishop on d3 acting as an anchor I’d guess it was sort of like a comeback for MVL it seemed like Richard had the drop on him for a moment Thanks for the Game Agadmator one of the more wilder ones 😅♟️enjoy your day

[@mubaraksenju7521]

Crazy attack indeed. I'd lost that 100%

[@sanderhater1]

Does Agadmator keep calling us amazing coz he thinks we're actually good or he's just being sarcastic...

[@pozzowon]

Because he's a good host and motivates

[@DarkKnightIndia]

Rather the later one

[@IndigoBassNotes]

Some are amazing , I am close to expert level and I saw the moves on the pause the video moments this time. The real amazing viewers find the move everytime or nearly so. So you can answer for yourself.

[@harrisaxer2651]

Polite

[@michaelmassaro4375]

He knows some of his audience is knowledgeable he’s being sincere now if it were Levy I’d question it 😅

[@SuperStarTidus18]

When will you feature my King sac video Antonio?

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

What about the ligma sac?

[@DiCelloPiano]

there was that game against Magnus where the guy's king was in check , and he ignored it and moved a bishop or pawn or something ... as a joke they called it a "king sac" --

[@francemorake7421]

Every time we watch Mvl and Rapport we always see fire works, its not only today we see Queen sac

[@weeooh1]

Amazing turnaround for MVL. Since Rapport was so aggressively dominating for most of the game

[@adamleckius]

That Pause the video line with capturing the queen is one of the craziest lines I've seen

[@dizzymetrics]

these two always bring exciting games and they sure delivered what a crazy game!

[@DarkKnightIndia]

What a game, thanks Antonio for those amazing sidelines you have discussed, playing against French always needs precise calculations and most of all nerves of steel.

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

When you have such sharp complex positions, and you are sacking queens and trading rooks for knights and gobbling up pawns, there's no telling where you will find yourself in the endgame. Its one of those deals where the smoke clears after a dizzying round of fireworks, and you are all of a sudden down a pawn in a losing endgame. There's no way to predict that outcome, its just part of chess.

[@Benjamin256_76]

Madness. Beautiful madness.

[@janwestren-doll9762]

Spectacular game

[@ronsonthongam1447]

1:48 don't worry agadmator we will always be there for you we are one of the best chess bullet on board player in the chess, we are from manipur... India

[@cygnustsp]

Bullet over the board? Is that a thing?

[@lukemarks3281]

Why did you put 1:48?

[@Waywind420]

Two of my favourite players, alongside Hikaru and Magnus

[@bluetricity6743]

What is the time control? I don't see it mentioned anywhere by agadmator.

[@marcusfossa6695]

This game was brutal.

[@AbeKenney]

Wow! That is a cool game!

[@marcos22216]

I had no idea what was going on in the middle

[@muratsahan8697]

Beatiful positions

[@saumenroy8710]

Not all losses are equal. Heads up, Rapport!You are amazing!!

[@exelmans8855]

Damn. Chess is tough.

[@user-gr3tg2yk6o-24_डफ़क]

Rapport thought that going for the french defence against a French opponent would be very funny ... but its the French Dwarf MVL who had the last laugh

[@54ndm4n91]

Insane game

[@entropie]

@3:55 Knight to g5 is best move !! How was this missed ??🤔

[@carlkligerman1981]

Am I alone in wishing more super GM level games had this panache? This is pure chess, poetry!

[@toddbowles8201]

This was a fun game

[@saryjou2793]

A bar fight by Agadmator never fails to make my day❤

[@BenAlternate-zf9nr]

One of these days I hope to see a library fight.

[@GeraldM_inNC]

@7:12 It seems to me that Rapport had an impregnable defensive position and could (and should) have played for a draw, but then launched a rash attack that was not capable of mating the White king and instead fundamentally undermined Black's defense and threw away the drawing chances. Right or wrong?

[@Tony-Datzun-Z12]

i like the shots you show of the tournement

[@jeffreywilliams3421]

Wild game

[@SnydeX9]

Finally, some real chess.

[@Football-oe4hl]

When he said it looked more like a bar fight, i looked at them and they do look like the patrons of a bar fight 😂

[@indianfan1029]

Is there any explanation as to why MVL wasted 2 tempo to bring his b5 rook to defend the f pawn. Why not simply rook from a1 to f1 in a single move?

[@joysaha4772]

There is a sound in 13.55 second. What was that😅

[@johncouch7785]

that was a little too much coffee in the morning 😊

[@guptayush179]

maxime really played quite some moves in this game

[@luismaldonado5836]

What a game!

[@BlackSpock135]

Love MVL' s game !!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidantonsavage6207]

A wild-ass game!

[@ColdCorner49]

✨👍🏻👍🏻

[@rochfati2732]

Very exciting game 🔥

[@nicbentulan]

2nd: I believe Wesley is still the classical WFRCC while Hikaru is just the rapid WFRCC. Q1 Why weren't the 'slow rapid' games in the 2019 wfrcc considered classical when they are 60min games and the minimum for classical is 60min? Q2 Why are the 2022 WFRCC games considered 'slow rapid', as in the same category for the 2019 wfrcc 60min games, when they are actually 32.5min games? What I understand is (0,10) = Blitz [10,60) = rapid [60,120) = classical but unrated if so and so conditions [120,infinity) = classical P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S. Interview while imprisoned Qt0S8G_fUbE Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players? Uncle Bobby Fischer: Filipino - My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random. - 2004Oct11, 15 years before nephew Wesley So became the inaugural WFRCC in CLASSICAL time controls. --- Also Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend! 2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1...

[@coxscorner]

That game was insane

[@aureliencanet830]

I think they already played a french defense where MVL sacrificed his queen, a kinda good one.

[@huzaifabilal9039]

Very strong play by MVL. Great player

[@Greatermaxim]

I prefer White in the theoretical Queen sac line. If you or the engine disagrees with me, you might have looked it up by now.

[@mareknikto8856]

what abot qxd3?

[@hossain8463]

And I have a request, please..... Upload some engines chess videos like Komodo,Leela,Alphazero,Stockfish etc..

[@ninja8flash742]

#suggestion

[@cygnustsp]

He has, many times. What about the new Levi bot tho?

[@SagittariusEYStar]

i never gave MvL The credit he surely deserves in such an era of computers and such strong competition in chess today. How wrong i've been. Thanks agad

[@indianfan1029]

Also, why didn't MVL challenge that black bishop on d3 with his own bishop. Instead of moving it to d1 why didn't he move it to e2.

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

A closed center and White's King in the center but Maxime still wins. Great game.

[@igdes1]

Maybe start pinning when it becomes a completely new game. Let us go to where the fun starts.

[@azukipaisen]

I love the Winawer

[@DiCelloPiano]

I think most of us see "Richard Rapport" , we click :)

[@Voulume]

Can’t wait for Dubov’s comeback

[@vcshakesss]

No magnus game?? Wow

[@criticalpsyche]

once a man in tough position said, " maybe"

[@thomasgrubert7819]

I don't know why but MVLs wins are always particularly enjoyable games to watch.

[@deneb9601]

Une partie de fou

[@gchomuk]

Amazing game. Period.

[@mitic8231]

Somehow I think that Rapport is coming from the Elves realm.

[@aquilinotuya356]

Can you please include the engine evaluation after every move? Thanks 🥳

[@AndersonNeo12]

#suggesten: Would it be possible to show the accuracy percentage of the computer analyses (maybe just a short screenshot) of the games? I think it would be cool to see the analysed stats. Sometimes after a game when i thought i played "brilliant" chess, the computer analysis it and says accurarcy 67% (1x great, 15xbook 3x blunders etc) and i´m like ..whaaaat? i thought i played good ^^ ps: MVL: "I got the white pieces, i think i´m gonna attack" Rapport: "No"

[@SoniListon-lu4cn]

Formula: this- that-and now.

[@sean5202]

Richard with the balls to even dare play the French against a French 😁😁

[@georgeray649]

Excellent game. Thanks Agad

4th: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'. Speaking of Wesley So Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend! 2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game.

[@nicbentulan]

3rd: What's it like in a parallel universe where 9LX is standard chess, and Garry really is Garry chess? 1 - People are praising Wesley So, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Bobby Fischer & Anatoly Karpov. Agadmator & Levy are talking about Wesley & Nepo all day long. 2 - Garry really is Garry chess here. Switch Bobby & Garry dates of birth. (Bobby's last name here is probably Nemenyi.) Meanwhile Garry Kasparov invented something strange called 'chess1' aka 'Kasparov Deterministic' where you have only 1 SP. Garry quits the 1975 classical WCC Vs Anatoly Karpov, is arrested in Russia (instead of Japan), immigrates to Iceland and dies in 2008. 1975 is not a big loss. In fact, it's better because Bobby Fischer takes over. 1978 is Bobby vs Anatoly match of the century in Baguio, the Philippines! Idk what happens in 1981, but then 1984 Eugene Torre wins the candidates and faces Anatoly/Bobby! In 1976, I guess Eugene still beats Anatoly. Either Anatoly or Bobby. (Trivia: In our world, Eugene almost beat Bobby in 1992.) 3 - Bobby is still alive in 2024. Bobby, Anatoly, Sergey Karjakin, Wesley, Nepo are on Lex Fridman's podcast while Magnus, Garry & Hikaru aren't. 4 - In the 2019 inaugural world Kasparov Deterministic chess championship (WKDCC), Magnus beats Wesley in 3 classical chess1 games in a row in but no one cares. Fabi is still the top 4 in the 2019 world chess1 championship but the top3 is now Liren. Nepo has never played a chess1 game, just as in our world Liren has never played a recorded 9LX game before 2024Feb. 5 - Wesley/Nepo doesn't quit the 2023 classical WCC. Nepo/Wesley wins 2022 candidates and no one cares about Liren. Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi is the biggest rivalry in chess, far exceeding as well as succeeding the next biggest rivalry Bobby Fischer vs Anatoly Karpov, like Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad. Wesley, & Nepo are both considered GOATs along with Bobby & Anatoly. There's no distinction between GOAT & MTOAT. There's a slight bias towards Wesley because Wesley is Bobby's nephew. 6 - Chess' popularity in the Philippines & Norway are inverted. 6a In our world, Bobby had radio interviews in the Philippines. In this world, Garry has radio interviews in Norway. 6b Then Prospero Pichay Jr is imprisoned and the Philippine chess federation is free from corruption. But Wesley is still American. Huhuhu. Oh, in this reality, Magnus' parents are evil and then Magnus gets adopted by religious parents who are friends of Garry, so it's like Magnus is Garry's nephew. The 2019 WKDCC is still like a pseudo - Bobby vs Garry, and it's billed as battle of thei nephews. 7 - But still no one actually really cares about chess1 because no one wants to have a headache over studying the same boring SP again and again. Also its top players Magnus & Garry are still cheaters. But well ok maybe in rapid & blitz chess1 is picking up. (Same as our world. Fiiiine Magnus is right about keeping regular chess for rapid & blitz.) So there's still a 2022 rapid world chess1 championship, half a century after the 1972 REGULAR match of the century. This time Hans Niemann wins beating Hikaru Nakamura on tiebreaks. This time Hikaru accuses Hans, but Hans still sues both Hikaru & Magnus. Ches***m is not sued and is just as good as lichess. Hans is still considered the next Bobby Fischer / Anatoly Karpov while Wesley & Nepo are still considered the current Bobby / Anatoly. 8 - In 2024Feb, FIDE still cancel their 2024 WKDCC, but Wesley & Nepo host a rapid chess1 championship but don't invite Magnus & Liren. Hans isn't a cheater but has still has beef with St Louis Chess Club and so doesn't play that due to scheduling conflicts, but Magnus & Hans are still going to eventually defend the, resp, classical & rapid world chess1 championships. 9 - In general, chess doesn't have that many cheaters, cheating incidents, baseless accusations, etc and has very little corruption, discrimination, treason, politics, etc. FIDE is hailed as 1 of the cleanest sports/gaming organisations. Chess is an olympic sport. Bobby/Anatoly are FIDE officials. 10 - Tiebreaks are settled by armageddon w/ auction rather than lower time controls, so Sergey & Fabi still lose to Wesley/Nepo in resp 2016 & 2018. But no one calls for change of tiebreaks to rapid time controls. Lol. Also, pre-arranged draws are so rare. 11 - Sergey isn't banned because Sergey only privately supports Putin because chess doesn't make people go insane unless they the players want to stick to 1 SP only, like Garry. 12 - Actually here, Bobby has very neutral feminist enlightened political views and is a true patriotic Jew & American ( in politics in addition to still being such a patriot in chess ) while respectfully criticising both US & Israel along side condemning Osama bin Laden / Al-Qaeda & Ismail Haniyeh / Hamas. So Bobby is still against Iraq invasion. 13 - Most importantly, no one cares about Garry, Magnus, Hikaru or Liren. Specifically, in this world, they care less about them as compared to Wesley, Nepo, Bobby & Anatoly in our world. 14 - Paradise. --- Ok back to reality: --- PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's (rapid WFRCC) WIFE vs Wesley's (classical WFRCC) GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc
