"Not that easy to see why, unless you see it, then it is very easy" - Agadmator (2023)

[@simplicity_007]

In 200 years time, there will be a book of Agad's Sayings that will be famous just like Aesop's Fables... The name of the book will be "Captures, Captures, Captures..."

[@guillaumelagueyte1019]

Reminds me of coffin problems, they kinda have a dark story, basically they're maths problems that are very complicated to solve but once you see the solution it's super obvious and you feel silly for not thinking about it. They were used in the USSR against some groups of people (mostly Jewish people) that the communist party didn't want to be admitted into the universities, and the reason they were used is because the people who failed because of these couldn't really complain as it seems so simple when you see the trick.

[@alahiri22]

First offering an exchange sacrifice and then a pawn, Pragg channeled his inner Fischer. Berkes is a very strong player, and testing him with sacrifices takes a lot of guts. Berkes ignored the first offer but fell for the second one, and the rest is history.

[@ronjohnson9690]

The sacrifices were scaring me!

[@MrMagyar5]

Yea, I see a lot of Fisher in Pragg's capacity to find unusual play that either is a brilliance or a flop :) Pragg is very exciting to watch.

[@baconian_road_construction]

Is Pragg going for some sort of record on most sacrifices played at this tournament? Game after game he delivers with some incredible tactical lines. His chess has been an absolute delight to watch this event.

[@rajinikanthan8967]

His name Praggnanandha literally meant " Delight to the intellectual "

[@vangalkavuniyan5052]

Interesting etymology. I may be wrong but my understanding is that "prAjJa" (with the longer A - a taddhita derivation) would be "intellectual", "wise man" etc. Whereas "prajJa" simply means "intellect", "awareness" and in the context of this name, a more appropriate meaning would be "consciousness"; viz., the name is a variant of the more common "chidAnanda". ok, end of detour. Let us enjoy the chess.

This game perfectly illustrates the difference between a very good player and a great one.

[@umbrellajack]

Y'all don't understand how much pragg out calculated his opponent. What a incredible win!

[@geethuvarghese9103]

Haha! Its natural.. We are just simple folks..n NOT chess wizkids here to see the intricacy of 39move chk mates.. But once i saw the idea of the knight sacrifice. I knew a mate was possible with that queen excelently placed n his rook there.. Its a piece of cake! But to actually make that rook offer n the nxt offer just like that with Pragg' come on confidence! Well, I must be atleast a vidit to understand that! ❤

[@jeythegrey]

Such an impressive game. He was down about 3 points of material, yet completely winning.

[@FantasyFantasy934]

Rooks are overrated. I always find a way to sac them for a knight/bishop in my games.

[@foretcl]

@@FantasyFantasy934lmao hell nah, millions of games says that rooks is worth more because it covers more squares, however the position is king. So no, rooks are worth more by itself, but it depends on the position

Now i understand y magnus coach tells his studs, guys, play like Pragg! N Magnus telling We want to play like u, today!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@simplicity_007]

I've been a fan of Pragg's for many years now. What a ride it's been and what a happy life. He never lets us fans down. Yes, he's human and he sometimes makes mistakes (just like all of us), but he keeps delivering one incredible surprise after the other. I don't think there's any other player like him.

[@alisayed4308]

[@kaoushikmazumder4350]

I thought the caption would be "Second night at the Opera" Rook sacrificed twice,knight sacrifice, definitely an awesome performance

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

While most of the players from India seem to have a positional style, Pragg is the one that can base his play on whatever the position calls for. Tactical or positional. He seems to handle dynamic tactical positions better than any of them and I think that's why I see him having the biggest upside as compared to the other really good players. Even if he doesn't make the candidates this tournament, you can tell that it's not that far off a feat for him to potentially obtain. He's probably the one player from India that has a style closer to Anand's than any of them.

[@ChristianHegele]

Exactly this; Pragg is strategically strong, and his tactical brilliance is what makes him Anand's true successor.

[@anandp7482]

Great comment.. however Gukesh is extremely creative as well. Some of his suboptimal moves prove to be most optimal towards the end of the game. Arjun and Nihal are very positional. I regard Guki highly as I do Pragg. All 4 are truly bound to become great players.

[@geethuvarghese9103]

[@Litwinel]

This french setup was so weird... I've even uploaded the game and checked the database now... not really popular at the very top level. Kinda explains why. Deep in my bones it felt wrong, to give all that space for white while crowding your own pieces. Obviously I would never take advantage of those things, but I am not surprised this young brilliant mind of Prag's outplayed that so hard.

Agad says you'll see where Prag ends up putting his rook. And I'm thinking, lemme guess...his opponents back rank? And sure enough. I mean, Pragg's opponents REALLY need to do their homework on him and accept the fact that you CAN NOT let this guy infiltrate your back rank under any circumstance.

In the line Agad analyses that starts with King E7 Agad says "Queen F3 threatens Queen F6 check". Is that right? The black Queen is defending th F6 square so Queen F6 check doesn't look that strong. But what Queen F3 does threaten is B5 (Antonio's favourite pawn advances again) threatening the rook and if e.g. Rook B6 then Bishop A3 check followed by Queen x F7 check and it's all over. No board here so I could be missing something. And it's only an analysis of a line that didn't happen. And yes, Pragg is amazing. There was a time when the Russian chess team could beat anyone. Looks as if India is taking over that role
