Don't sweat the audio problems. If Kramnik can blunder mate in 1 against Deep Fritz surely a microphone blunder can be overlooked.

[@byst33]

Yeah this video confirmed my suspicion that he was accidentally using the laptop mic. I have the same Blue Yeti mic and was pretty sure it should have sounded better! It happens to the best of us.

[@AlbertWeijers]

@@byst33 Exactly my thoughts, why so much room reverb with such a mic... But still better audio than a lot of other youtubers.

[@dark_rit]

Audio is so easy to screw up that I don't fault anyone for it. Settings changing behind your back with primary input/output sources isn't rare.

[@internetbscop5364]

I was getting kinda mad at everyone for shunning pragg and focusing only towards gukesh. Pragg is a class, I always knew he has unmatched genius and performs better at higher level of chess. For me, pragg is the only contender at high level chess from India.

[@krillin7876]

Pragg needs conditons to perform....like he either needs stronger players or must win games like these demanding wins... then he plays like no other

He was completely winning at one point and should've won comfortably before Pragg but a couple of bad moves and a brilliant resistance from Nodirbek pushed Gukesh further and in the end, he blundered under time pressure. Tough loss for Gukesh but a brilliant win for Nodirbek who won from a completely lost position.

[@FloydMaxwell]

Glad the audio issue is resolved. Thank you for all that you do, Agamator!

[@FloydMaxwell]

External mic not plugged in / not recognized, so sound was picked up by the laptop/s mic?

[@ScottDreams]

So much better with the microphone actually connected/used :D

[@zacharycat603]

Bit surprised by Bxa2 as the risks of getting that Bishop trapped are very well known.

[@romd4031]

You just have to give all praise to Nodirbek for not giving up.

[@kedarbedge]

13:47 Agadmator turns mind reader.. well at least for me 😁

[@martindamasseno5164]

I suspect the audio issue was due to the mic recording being from the computer, and not the one we see in front of Agad. But hey, everyone blunders from time to time, don't we?

[@amoldivo]

The problem started from 03:10 Sindarov should've played Bxa2 instead of Rxa2 and then reposition the bishop back somewhere along the diagonal and offering the rook trade on a8 instead of having his pieces unguarded on the enemy's field :/ And then on 05:30, Sindarov should've played Qe7 protecing the rook, then whatever Prag would've played, just move the king to the safe position, if Qxa2, then black can simply take back with Rxe2... I'm not sure if I overlooked anything but I don't think I do lol Anyway I'm analysing this while comfortably laying down on my bed and my ELO isn't that high yet since I just started on chess.com last week 🤣 so probably the condition there made the players nervous and can't think as optimal as they normally should on casual circumstances 🤧

[@stallioon]

At 5:30 if you move to Qe7, you leave the bishop undefended. (Ra1 threatens it) and if you push the pawn to attack the queen, the queen can just move diagonally and still threaten the black rook. If you move your queen back to its first place, you basically lose because after rook takes the black bishop the queen captures the white bishop, leaving the black rook undefended and which results in a check. Scenario 2 after a quick recheck, the bishop can capture the pawn at b5 after the queen moves to e7. This saves you a little time but you still can't move your rook since it's pinned. With this advantage you can probably execute scenario 1 after Bxb5.

[@stache53]

The fact that you have been providing the community consistently with fantastic content over the years really trumps the silly mistake of having MOUNTED IT UPSIDE DOWN. ;)

[@panda4247]

What?

[@stache53]

@@panda4247 In the previous videos it really sounds like he mounted his mic upside down. (Very bad voice quality but extremely clear clicking from the mouse...)

[@panda4247]

@@stache53 ah, you mean that... I think that was because he forgot to set the external microphone as his input device and recorded from the internal laptop mic. Or he used the external mic, but in omnidirectional mode. I thought you were implying that the mic SHOULD be pointing downward and he has it upside down.

[@billcook4768]

Damn that bishop was annoying. Props to Praggu not just for the good chess, but for being patient and not going on tilt. Anyone know the penalty for picking up one of your opponent’s pieces and chucking it across the gaming hall?

The next generation of chess players are terrifyingly skilled. For players like Magnus I think you grow up learning human chess and then almost relearn chess from the engines. The next generation will reap the full benefits of these incredible chess engines like Stockfish & LeelaChess.

[@anarkrimli1415]

Once you got by the table, there is no chess engines. Only human brains. And If you think Magnus just plays human moves, you have no knowledge about chess.

The audio was so bad yesterday, sounds much better now though!

[@MrDannyg77]

My friend. Your videos are always great. But in this game you had a couple of moments to show a white win that you didn’t explore. Like when white could have played Rd2 to finally trap the bishop on a2. I believe the right moment for that was just before white played Qc3. Also, you stated that once the white king got to the h2 square that black could not play Qxf2 because white would respond with QxR but also QxQ would be better. But still I do love your channel and it’s always my daily go to. Keep up the good work.

[@Hxstle]

QxR would be mate

[@alfredo4053]

Now that you have recovered the sacrificed sound quality you can easily convert the extra hat

[@myelinsheathxd]

Uzbekistan still leading , I hope we will get the Gold!

[@hannicutie0.0]

And it was in this position on 2:35 that Agad did not say (cxb6) en passant and there was nothing left to be done there.

[@hshura09]

The bishop on a2 reminds me of a certain game of Anand's that was around a single trapped bishop. I think it was against Lautier in the Scandinavian, but I don't know the game or the year. Does anyone know?
