As someone who's relatively new to chess it feels as though some high level games can be coasted through without any real ability or creativity. A low level player could more or less get to the drawn position agadmator points out simply by remembering the theory up until that point. Seems like only in the endgame is where real skill is introduced.

@@dascandy I after taking the bishop you trade captures with the pawns and then you can abuse the king with the knight checking him one or two more times until you improve the position of the knight to where he can prevent a promotion. (this is more based on the hope that black misplaces the king at least once)

[@chessentials4261]

Amazing endgame by Carlsen. It is very hard to pinpoint when did Fedoseev in fact go wrong. Most probably, he should have played 66 b3 (instead of 66 Nxg5). This would have granted him a few crucial tempi and allowed him to sacrifice the knight for the black's queenside pawns. Great video as always agad! :)

[@agadmator]

+Chessentials I would say he didn't actually make a mistake. He played the second best move, and Carlsen played the best move. After a couple of moves, the position was winning. But who knows :D A highly enjoyable endgame :D

[@ongbonga9025]

I don't think 66 b3 works. It buys white time, and although black will eventually have to give up his bishop for the h-pawn, black will have as compensation two linked passers on a+b with the king right next to them, vs white's knight all the way on h7. Something like... 66. b3 Bf7 67. Nxg5 Bg8 68. Nf3 Ke4 69. h4 Bxb3 70. h5 Kd5 71. h6 Bc2 72. Ng5 Kc4 73. h7 Bxh7 74. Nxh7 Kxb4 I think I like 65. Nb3, preparing Nc5. Black can't protect a6 fast enough, so white can break those pawns, abandon his pawns, and sacrifice his knight for the last black pawn, leaving Carlson's bishop to deal with the h-pawn. I think 65. Nb3 draws, so I feel like white blundered with either 65. Nf3+, or if that moves is ok certainly the pawn grab wasn't. The action is on the queenside and it will take too long for the knight to get there. Move 65 was a chance to get there quick enough to break the pawns.

Winning the bishop is irrelevant. It makes it so that the knight can't stop the pawns from promoting so the fork is a losing move. Stockfish gives: nf6+ kc4 nxh5 (it recommends to not take the bishop), a3 and the pawn will promote after bxa3 bxa3. There's a reason you're not a Grandmaster.

[@chandrajitkc6980]

How's it losing?. Even i was thinking why he didn't play knight f6

[@yashjoshi]

@@chandrajitkc6980 For everyone asking why Vladmir didn't check at 11:31 :I think it wasn't a mistake because if Vladmir checked the king and took the bishop then Magnus would advance with both the pawns on the left and get a queen and Vladmir wouldn't be able to stop him

[@ultimatewick]

@@yashjoshi Couldn't white's king and pawn stop them?

[@Dazzwidd]

Can everyone get over Agad clearing his throat or I'll have to call yas all Bobby Fischer: needing a room of COMPLETE silence before he would continue to play Boris Spassky

[@mauricioglindronn288]

Squeezing water from stone, that came from Gary Kasparov in his interview. Great comment

[@robtraviesojr6360]

Vladimir's face in his picture is likely an accurate representation of what it looked like by the end of the match.

[@marcomajidi3808]

Question: at 6:24 black moves Bishop to d7 you and you say (parafrasing): "Magnus will take the Queen swap but won't trade his Bishop for the Knight". My question is: why didn't white do exactly that, play Knight to e6, in the turn before instead of Queen to c3? He could have taken the Bishop, lose the Knight to the black Queen and then move his own Queen to c3. Am I missing something?

[@teenspirit1]

Magnus's dirty beard looks a lot like an irony of nakamura's looks.

[@TheGnarTube]

would you like some cough drops, son?

[@arturs4024]

didnt know general Zod was into chess

[@pritamrakshit4524]

I wonder at 11:30 why didn't the knight move to g6???😶😶😶...creating the fork

[@hamedshah2363]

Well I cannot beat Carlson age 12 any one wit me?

[@infinitysalinity7981]

Can't beat age 10 smh :(

[@droceretik]

I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't beat Carlsen when he was 8.

[@infinitysalinity7981]

droceretik Nah, 8 is easy.

[@danjor5749]

I just got the app, and I can’t even beat him at 7 XD

[@infinitysalinity7981]

Danjor That's actually tragic

[@yuvrajporwal965]

When the video is at 11:31 notice that knight to f6 could have forked the bishop and king of the black which could lead to victory for white

[@BMWE-hm7uz]

At what point does chess become a memory test instead of actually playing chess?

[@NotStirred9]

Positions that are played very often (usually in the first 10-50 moves of a game) are known as standard lines, and players know the best moves in those situations by heart. The difficulty comes when a player changes from this. I believe this game was a new game from move 13, though I could be wrong. Many 'End Game' situations are practiced by players to make sure they close out a victory, which is why Carlsen played this endgame so quick and precise.

[@vishakhasrivastava1971]

At 1:15 after white castles why black didn't go for knight captures e4

[@Farpezio]

What software do you use to review the chess games? I think the highlights and arrows are useful as well as being able to go back to a previous situation after exploring possible moves.

[@doomplague5758]

Chest is like the rainbow six siege of board games, so many tactics 😯

[@karthikt9560]

Lol

[@emperorpalpatine3125]

6:43 with .25 speed trusst me

[@traxler4855]

But y tho

[@berosokolic6065]

11:31 Fedoseev had a fork opportunity!

[@dorland3]

He did. But if he had done that, Carlsen would have easily captured Fedoseev's pawn and would probably have beaten him in the race for a queen.

[@ThoughtSpinnr]

Been watching your videos for a few days now, especially Carlsen videos. Today I won a Chess game against my dad for the first time haha. Keep up the good work man, really good stuff!

[@agadmator]

+Rocky28447 Congratz on beating The dad :D

[@ThoughtSpinnr]

Thanks dude. The way you analyze Chess games and all the different options that either side has I find to be really helpful.

[@55dengen]

It’s amazing that he can figure out where to go, but it’s more amazing Magnus can figure this out in 2 seconds. 😅😂

[@deanmarkovich3633]

Man my brother I really appreciate what you have done for my game of chess I only wish I had known about you sooner

[@kartikeyakansal1151]

At 11:33 knight to f6 could have been a good move

[@samicheikhelchabab9120]

Nice noticing that move however after nf6 check king would go closer to the queen's pawn. Knight grabs bishop but it'd be already over for white because black would be queening

[@cykablyat9483]

Knight to f6 wins the bishop

[@Ben-vb2us]

But black would have just gotten a queen a lot sooner with that move. But that is a good catch :)

[@shakunrelhan2944]

Gameplay as well as Result was already shown in the pictures of the players

[@vasilbenchev6091]

can you please do at 80K alllll your chess sets and books (if you have) and 100K house and setup tour

[@teo5146]

Max Payne talking to Hitler. Interesting.

[@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser]

James McCabe Maybe.

[@ToaHHH]

The only thing more aggressive than Magnus’s gameplay is the commentators throat clearing

[@lukraniom8731]

“A king is not a knight” Also agmator: 10:27

[@noamgaraway1518]

11:34, why can’t you play Nf6 instead forking the king and bishop?

[@gabrielesimionato1210]

Nice trap. However, with the Knight that far, white is able to push both pawns and reach 1st rank

[@eternalreturnblacksurvival8047]

4:19 every smite player's demise...

[@mikie_0456]

I can't play chess and never intend on playing it why am i here????

[@ryanbrewer5600]

One of the best end games I have ever witnessed

[@andraslibal]

You might find yourself in an endgame against a world master ... Me: I am on the wrong channel apparently :)))))

[@FekalniVuz]

Hello agadmator, I really enjoy what youre doing and would like to thank you for the wonderful work! I always watch your videos when Im eating breakfast, lunch or dinner. Thank you and I wish you all the best in the 2018!

[@agadmator]

+FekalniVuz Thanks man. All the best to you as well :)

Dog sleeps on couch but he has to pay the price of checkmate so dog gets off of couch and goes to bedroom to sleep on bed but if agadmator finds out doggo will lose his qeen

[@xStayCurious]

Absolutely love your videos, excellent commentary. Small comment, though; for headphone users, clearing your throat is a complete RIP, maybe some audio depression? Keep it up brother, can't wait to see how far your channel goes!

Not to be mean but why do all pro chess players have the head shape of a gorilla

[@DamnLUK]

try to pronounce zugzwang more like "tsoogtsvung" ;)

[@Marius-zt9cm]

No, its pronounced "zugzwang". I am german I know

[@matt-pv8yc]

at 5:32 , why does the black queen not capture the b4 pawn?

[@vestigios68]

cof cof cof

[@fleecemaster]

He really needs a cough button! Or at least to edit them out afterwards, it was distracting :/

[@readchoi]

great video but you got to stop grunting

[@DeadFishFactory]

This game perfectly highlights zugzwang for me, since before I couldn't really see any way where moving a piece puts you at a disadvantage vs. not moving.

[@tylerarnold3971]

This man is Peter Dinklage and Chris Hemsworth. I cant unsee it bro omg.

[@IzeFox]

11:31 why didnt he move the Knight to f6?

[@ben1147]

IzeFox a3 next, the pawn would be too fast

[@thnh6598]

Amazing game and commentary

[@coleschemistrychannel4172]

11:30 how did he miss that fork?

[@stuflames4769]

From what others are saying, that fork ends with a pawn promotion if you use it to take the bishop.

[@jaderaposa2343]

@@stuflames4769 yes it will lead up to that

[@Tj_McQueen]

Maybe try a cough drop before the next video.

[@markomarkovski9323]

Great video, I hope you make another endgame analisis even though they are a bit longer... You are doing a great job of promoting chess! Keep up the good work!
