Searching For Magnus Carlsen

[@FoMiAl]

I didn't see the hanging Queen either 😂😂😂

[@harjutapa]

neither did I, I was convinced there was some tricky checkmate I couldn't find.

[@weray7605]

Me either

[@Dyllyn133]

I feel like we all just had a taste or the Magnus effect, we're all trying to find a move for Alireza against Magnus, so of course Magnus doesnt have his queen hanging, it's just not possible...

[@kkakdugiman]

I did, but I was holding onto my chair with seconds left, thankfully Alireza missed the free queen and lost the game.

[@d4slaimless]

So you play at Alireza's strength!

[@timothybohdan7415]

I leave my queen hanging on A6 all of the time, but I never win any tournaments.

[@snatchinyopeople]

love a good Botez gambit

[@souravjha206]

At game 1 even, which agadmator for some reason didn't mention, magnus blundered a bishop ( clean piece with no counter play whatsoever) while alireza did have sufficient time, he not only escapes but win(remeber against nepo too). I think Magnus is 2830 only because there is no one to gain rating from that level, he clearly outplays his opponent like someone 200 above then does

[@milandehariya9117]

😂😂😂😂

[@varunkulkarni24]

Exactly 😂😂

[@kaushalpandey3830]

I do same with my King.

[@iainInSpace]

I looked at the queen, then I looked back at the bishop, and looked back at the queen, and I looked back at the bishop, and I thought, I am not touching that queen. It must be poison.

[@prkarthik1980]

Wow....didnt expected that Queen hanging there....and was searching for some move around Magnus"s king during the Pause the video moment 🤣😂

[@GonzaloMSolis]

Agad: this is the easiest pause moment. Me: *miss* Painful game ending.

[@thembadube9589]

If France should ever think of attacking Croatia, they should be warned that, by his own admission, one Croatian gladiator (I won't mention names) has announced that prefers to meet the French head on.

[@pablo313khaos9]

Seems the Magnus Effect is as real as the Kasparov Effect was

[@user-gr3tg2yk6o-24_डफ़क]

Best was Karpov effect !

[@skunclep1938]

@@user-gr3tg2yk6o-24_डफ़कtrue because Karpov made more blunders than Kasparov & Carlsen put together and still some managed to get away with it! Well, that is until he met Kasparov…

[@kensalaz57]

Agamentor "There is no spoon". One of his best quotes ever. Matrix baby.

[@zoranvucenovic3824]

Magnus could really use a speech course... Maybe the "hanging queen" was interrupting his thought... "I can't believe I got away with a hanging queen against a GM..."

[@MaxPorta-x6m]

Incredible that the Queen was hanging. Probably stress caused the slip causing both players to miss that.

[@michaelwallace4298]

There is no Spoon, but forks aplenty!

[@victory_jade]

Loving this new format of splitting the games into different types, helps to keep it interesting.

[@waynejohnson1075]

There is no spoon - Matrix Reference. Awesome

[@parsafakhar]

this is so obvious that you didn't had to mention it

[@zzzMist]

Alireza V Magnus is always entertaining

[@rightrhythms1230]

Nice to see Magnus being interviewed by Levy's coach

[@ChessSavage]

As Cagnus Marlsen, I can confirm that I'm not lost.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Thanks for the recap of the games Agadmator I guess if top GMs can miss obvious and not so obvious moves time and pressure play a big role it’s why I enjoy watching classical games more so moves are more thought out these faster time format games are fun to watch and usually the better player will win Enjoy your day

[@Lupinicus1664]

There is definitely a psychological element here with Magnus. The same used to apply for Tal and then Fischer and even Karpov and Kasparov in their day. There will come a time, but not yet. It's still a joy to watch them play as humans, albeit with ludicrously little time to think.

[@white_phoenix10]

"There is no spoon" 😂 You got that line from Matrix gotcha😅

[@RajivKumar-pm9ck]

That 'there is no spoon' comment inspired from The Matrix was spot on agad! 😅😊😊🎉

[@mralias225]

i love it, Magnus keeps on "praising" Alireza, even going as far as to say that he believes Alireza will dethrone him

[@Amazing_wildlife7721]

16:10 Here began the staring contest at the hanging queen

[@4ndy_f886]

"You have to move Rook to A7 or some of the moves that allow you to win the game" ~ Agadmator 2024

[@alahiri22]

Who cam believe that Magnus will leave Q hanging? I can't blame Alireza

[@thesuperjacobshow8151]

I think Monday chess is hungover chess for these masters, and I'm all for it...

[@karlvogelsang4797]

Please flip the board with Black on the bottom when Black wins.

[@StephenBrennanGuitar]

Well - its not just about beating Magnus' errors or laziness because when he wants he still has the best chess of anyone - his peak cumulative accuracy rating is highest of all time with Kasparov and Fischer below him

[@Philopantheon82]

One of the most difficult move to spot is backward moves of bishops or knights

[@ronjohnson9690]

I really like the title to this match!

[@AndrewSBaker]

Most people have the expectation that Magnus will not make such a blunder, thus it is almost impossible to notice it. I certainly did not.

[@starliaghtsz8400]

Last time i was this early, constantinople hasnt fallen

[@SrikanthS-v7k]

Brilliant. Magnus is just Brilliant.

[@TheMarksT]

Quite a set of battles here!

[@jacqueslapidieux3182]

You need to be an especially weak player (like myself, ELO 700) to spot Bxa6. Super grandmasters need not apply.

[@Alireza3071]

This was so wild !!!!!

[@IAmDavid91]

These guys play more precisely with few seconds than I do with 10-15 minutes

[@chichoskruch21]

I found the hanging queen! But probably only because I saw other creators cover the match as well :D the Magnus effect is real

[@barry_allen321]

Magnus never defeated me

[@tanaannie7067]

Agadmator referring to himself in the video as if he is in the same level with the gms 😂😂😂 funny guy

[@LaNfinity]

Antonio, Alireza made the same mistake that I did at the "pause the video" moment: didn't expect such a blunder from Carlsen - and tbh, I don't believe anyone expects such one from him.

[@abdoolkareem_]

"many mistakes were made" im out

Magnus sold his soul to always win chess tournaments

I guess it's still better than most people who sell their souls and get nothing in return.

Magnus leaving a queen hanging proves we are on the same level

I just want to say I prefer the older version of the board, the previous UI was better. Still a great game!

[@xXG3TPWNEDXx]

I mean better to play passive to expand and win.

It's fun to see the best players having a bad day, but it's also disappointing that players at this level with this much money on the line making such elementary mistakes in multiple games throughout the match. They're expected to do better even in bullet

you spread nonsense dude,Chess is a game that If played perfectly by both sides is a draw!classical is nice but too boring many draws, faster time controls is way more fun to watch.Only geniuses like Magnus and Alireza can reach the finals in this format cause indians for example are terrible at intuitions and pure chess vision

It is one way of showing that even the best amongst the best are only humans, you can't expect them to be accurate all the time,especially in time scrambles.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

The point is Magnus moves ahead to the winners finals while Alireza will still get a chance to compete in the loser bracket I don’t know exactly how it works but the games are played to determine such things regardless if players make mistakes

[@htetmyatoo9105]

[@michaelbrowder1759]

Magnus is just wrong. Simply wrong.

[@Dude-etiquette]

I don’t understand why Magnus has so much respect for Alireza, the only title he has won was when he created his own tournament in order to qualify for candidates which he got smashed.

[@maheshdawani]

i think magnus likes alirezas playstyle a lot and alireza is also the youngest 2800 and the only one who can sometimes challenge magnus

[@kolawolelawalson7770]

He's won many many titles. Update yourself if you're not aware. He's won Sinquefield Cup, FIDE Grand Swiss, 2 Iranian championships, many rapid and blitz tournaments etc and he's just simply that talented. And more importantly, he's to this day the youngest ever to break 2800 classical rating. He's not even trying hard now and he's still able to compete so well at the highest level. Put some respect on his name.

[@kolawolelawalson7770]

I didn't even include all the online events that he's won. You think any Indian player could beat Hikaru in bullet chess championship final and then beat him again in SCC semis? Not anytime soon. Not even Nihal Sarin can try that.
