Chess back then was only a gentleman's sport, i.e. rich men, open at the highest level to only those with money to pay tutors.

Chess today is a world sport open to all social classes

Just to let you know as plenty of people get it wrong but if the drink is from Scotland or Japan it's called Whisky with no e. If the drink is from Ireland or the United States then it's generally Whiskey. They're pretty different styles, but all good in their own way and make you fall over after a dozen or so.

Hi agadmator! Loving the video as always. I should let you know to change the title to "whisky" though because "whiskey" is Irish! "Whisky" is correct for Scottish whisky. And you never know, you might well have a chess tournament in an Irish distillery one day and you will need to differentiate the two! Keep up the great work!

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Whisky is made in Scotland, whiskey With the e means a similar drink made in another land, the Lindores Abbey cannot yet however claimed to have made whisky, since this drink must age at least three years in casks after distilling to be called whisky that is. Just a little information for folks, otherwise a fine video

[@amirmn7]

I am by no means a chess expert but i cannot help myself but to think Magnus is almost unbeatable in any game. It is amazing to watch him convert a weakness to a strength. Just amazing amazing to watch!

[@newtons.2447]

This game serves to prove that it doesn't matter how tough the position is, you can't give up. Agadmator said in the last vídeo "your opponent is not a machine". So to the "BlunderHeads" out there who always look to the engine evaluation and when the players does not play the first option "it is a blunder" without even know why, just stop and try to evaluate the position yourself and maybe you can improve your own games.

[@bennya2846]

Hi Agadmator, my name is Ben and sometimes I sit and think quite deeply anyway just this morning after successfully solving a chess dot com puzzle I thought of this little saying................ a pieces numerical value varies depending upon the current position, that is to say you may have a worthless queen at the same time an invaluable pawn. And I guess Googles LEELA would probably think in those terms.

Agad, as of late I've been having a weird issue watching your videos. When I watch on my phone it works fine but when I watch on the KZbin app of my Roku smart TV, the video lags but the audio doesn't so the audio and video become unsychronized. I would think the issue was on my end, but it only seems to happen with your videos, not any of the other stuff I watch on KZbin. I think it's only been happening in the past couple of months, so I don't know if you've done a change in your recording software recently or something but I figured I'd bring it to your attention

Doesn't believe in fortresses until it's advantageous to him. It's a great play, I will say. I do like Carlson. He's undoubtedly a phenomenal player, but could you at least stick by your own guidelines? I simply hate liars.

[@joshuahunter2825]

With a queen, I would have figured to be stronger at the point of draw. I guess Carlsen wouldn't make a blunder. Or white at some point would move the F pawn to try for a win. Odd draw- bishop & knight two unconnected pawns vs queen and one pawn.

[@eg2821]

The Morphy quote is accurate, these guys are geniuses in the literal traditional sense of the word, but all they’re using their brains for is play chess. Imagine Carlsen, Caruana and co applying their skills in other fields like medicine, engineering, technology etc...
