[@sphamandlangidi749]

And it was in this position that I stopped everything I was doing just to watch another Agadmator video. What's the idea behind this move? Well, the idea is quite an interesting one, so feel free to pause the video and guess the idea..

[@JS-fd5oh]

The idea is to set up a pawn trap for Medo so he can't escape his sofa in the next move.

[@ClearReception]

To increase your vast knowledge.

[@123ameir]

I have the theory Magnus is avoiding all common openings because he does not want to reveal his preparation for the WCC I believe he retains his title though

[@andrewptob]

Most certainly. I agree on both points. As much as I want Fabi to win, I don't see it happening. I heard a crazy fact the other day: in Magnus' two WCC title defenses, he has lost only TWO games! Crazy.

[@glenciakhumalo9314]

He also only wins less every wcc.

[@bhaveshkahaneable]

FABI can win if magnus misses lot of chances like he did vs sergey in 2016

You've mentioned that you don't study the openings, but love to analyze, so I've got that tip already :) You may have done this from time to time already, however, I just found your channel 10 days ago, so I haven't watched all the videos.

[@MrDaale]

Excellent content as usual, thank you.

[@yukothekid3423]

I believe svidler misplayed that endgame he should have took off for the other pawn at 13:44 and the Blick king will have to waste 2 moves to capture ur pawn, this will be enough headstart to capture the black pawn and also stop the black king from entering the position

[@pierrepetitjean618]

me ir ur right netherless a draw by reaching c8 square by black (check commentaires)

[@acidburn1783]

I am pretty sure Magnus doesn't want to reveal his preparation against Fabi's Petroff defense. Fabi is also in his best form. I think it's gonna be a hell of a match. I believe Ding Liren will the next champion.

Hello, I have a question. I know the very very basics of chess and I don't play it, but I enjoy watching high level chess and love watching your videos for the breakdown and other possibilities that could hav happened or why something didn't! But for my question, on the last move where they agreed to a draw, is there a rule or something about white moving their king to H6? Would black not lose the game since now they can't move?

[@ethiird]

No legal move means a forced draw due to stalemate

Can someone explain to me the situation at 13:54... If white king were to then move to h6, what options does the black have left? Just stumbled on this video somehow, and don't know pretty much anything about chess.

[@mayurbannai3102]

LOL! When you pause the video and calculate the move for an hour and agad trolls you for it being the losing move.

[@thexalon]

I looked at the losing move long enough to figure out that white promotes first, then went for the "push the white king up against the wall" technique to force a draw. I would have been very very surprised if there had been a win for black, because of the positions of the kings being closer to the black pawns than the white pawns.

[@likeg6ihavenoname823]

it takes 2 mins and i was even too lazy for that

[@LevEakins1]

Loved the endgame analysis. Have you ever considered doing some tutorial videos on the different chess openings? I would be really interested to learn the classical variations and the apparent weaknesses and strengths.

[@skewtzz7595]

With Agadmator's recent Endgame references it makes me wonder if this was one of them..

[@justlaugh7468]

That feel when any move but one leads to a draw and you choose the one that loses you the game. No wonder why Im losing every endgame with only pawns left on the board.

[@oliverzettinig6701]

I think instead of pushing the pawn to h7 in the end game svidler could of started running to the other side to capture the A pawn just before magnus gets to arrive

[@synergetic4d]

Suyeah! What is the line on Caruana and Carlsen in November?

[@arjunsr1338]

Really appreciateable work... superb.

[@mrcypress22]

Why after the h8 move at the end couldn’t white move king to h6 and it be checkmate. Is there a rule I’m missing or something

[@navymaanjaniwal]

Mangobanana might be missing what so ever you saying

[@joydevdas8374]

"Sorry about this" is the best part of the video..🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@the_snakelicious]

2:27 Why develop the knight to e2 instead of f3? It always confuses me when players develop knights to d2 or e2, and agad never mentions the reason, so I don't have that information available when I'm deciding where to develop my own knights to.

[@mihneaneacsu769]

13:09 If Black advances the pawn protecting it with the king, it's a queen vs pawn endgame=draw.

[@hindrance27]

Before the last pawn push to h7, keeping the pawn on h6 and marching with king to the other pawn seems like winning. Isn't it?

Hi folks and Agadmator! What about a "Bronze League Heroes" serie? A guy tried out this idea with Starcraft games and he had a lot of success.

Very interesting, thank you

[@adamtracey1426]

Thanks it was a nail bite'er

[@fatalgamingful]

At 11:05 it is simply possible to capture both pawns with the king. And eventually force a win with superior material. The double first move with a pawn can simply be captured by king to g6 and then h6 or h5 depending on Carlsen's move. Did you miss that or am I missing something?

[@goldenjackal9662]

When you go to capture the h6 pawn then he plays g4 and you must capture with the bishop

[@gredangeo]

Now THAT is an endgame.

[@amitpandey4930]

Beautiful game

[@Mystic0Dreamer]

QUESTION FOR CHESS NERDS???? Look at the video at 13:42,.... What happens if the White King starts heading over to the left side of the board on this move? The Black King could not just follow the White King over. First he would need to waste two more moves to capture the white pawn on the H file. Would this then give the White King enough time to get over to the other side of the board, capture black's pawn and queen his pawn? I have no clue I didn't try to work it out. But I'm sure you guys will. Thanks!

[@ShanXton]

The white king can't start moving anywhere in that position cuz it's black move. LOL

[@Mystic0Dreamer]

Ok, try 13:44 then. It really shouldn't matter. If the white king starts heading toward the other side of the board BEFORE advancing his white pawn to H6, then the black King is still going to need to waste two moves capturing the white pawn before starting to chase the white king to the other side of the board. This should give the white king time to get to the other side of the board, capture the black pawn there, and still be able to protect his remaining pawn to be queened. I finally did try working this out and it looks to me like it should work. And the black king really has no choice but to capture the white pawn on H5. He can't just ignore it and start chasing the white King to the other side of the board. That wouldn't work.

[@ShanXton]

@ 13:42 If it was the white king move, then it would actually take the black king 3 moves to capture the pawn, and what you said would work. But in this scenario with two moves to capture the pawn, it won't work. The black king will head towards the corner and get in the way of queening, so it's the one move difference that makes this a draw. Carlson is an endgame specialist, and he won't make such a mistake.

[@Mystic0Dreamer]

Carlson wouldn't have been the one who made the mistake. Carlson had the black pieces. It would have been Svidler who blew the chance to force a win. Although, I think you are right anyway,. Maybe the black king could make it back in time to prevent white from both capturing the black pawn and queening his white pawn on the A file. I think you're right, it would still end in a draw. It does look like the black king could get back over just in the nick of time to prevent the white king from protecting his white pawn sufficiently. So I guess I was wrong. Sorry about that.

[@speedy2149]

5:51 Can someone explain to me why you should not take on F5? Thanks guys.
