This is Where You Resign! || Keymer vs Carlsen || Grenke Chess Classic (2024)

[@mrbrett321]

One of the most enjoyable chess commentators out there. An excellent balance of showing the game, giving some historical context, and showing just enough variations to help with understanding but without ruining the flow.

[@fredericlauren]

Disagree. I think this channel is mediocre at best.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@fredericlauren not everyone recognizes Great when they are seeing it Agadmator is definitely the best there is I’d like to hear which you tuber you think is actually good ?

[@geogiealuyen1715]

Im just here to enjoy the show

[@tommytraddles]

He’s by far the most entertaining but sometimes the analysis is a bit patchy and rushed. The best and most thorough KZbinr is Daniel King of Powerplay chess. He’s a grandmaster who is also a great teacher and explainer.

Thank you for showing the finish!

Also 5 years ago, Carlsen played 5 years ago, played the benoni in Grenke Chess Classic 2019. Also a notable information.

[@Waywind420]

As a complete idiot it's nice that this guy gives context as to what is happening in the game, where the pieces are heading, what the players intentions are. 👏

[@Brandon-a-writer]

in my experience as a student, in highschool, at cornell (before it was a fuckin' meme) and being a writer for some decently sized channels here on youtube, I've. noticed: rarely do actual idiots think they are idiots. in reality, people who know their weaknesses and have that sense of humility are far more intelligent and likely to do well in their efforts than people who refuse to acknowledge their weaknesses. My best friend in this whole fuckin' world went to Amherst, smartest guy I know, and he never fails to acknowledge his shortcomings. It is wisdom, mate, to understand your failings. Be less hard on yourself brother. Cheers

[@Waywind420]

​@@Brandon-a-writer 😒 ok you got me I study electrical engineering and know enough chess to hang with approx 1600 rated players and bots. 🤓

[@prkarthik1980]

It's always that one pawn that will make the difference in the end. The 2 free pawns sacrificed by Keymer without any compensation payed the way for his defeat

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Paved the way that’s all Magnus needed lone a pawn ♟️ running down the board 😅

[@theotherjoedimaggio]

Vincent Keymer always plays interesting games. good or bad, they always end up interesting.

[@SasidharPamganamamula]

You had to evaluate Nxa8 (at 8:00). That's the most obvious move - not to give up material.

[@LiMus7991]

But then your knight will be stuck since black knight is defending b6 and c7

[@carlesgelada8347]

Better than loosing a piece

[@88mphDrBrown]

​@@LiMus7991 the knight isn't stuck, e4 kicks the black knight.

[@LiMus7991]

@@88mphDrBrown then black will push the pawn to promote faster

[@88mphDrBrown]

You're still giving up the same material. Black can still exchange the piece for the pawn, but they have control over that choice. Black will run the pawn up to a2, the knight to b4, and has time to run the king up to the corner to threaten either knight. Note: this isn't my personal analysis, it's from stockfish.

[@brianwells990]

I think there should be a clickable link to the special moment in each of these videos when we hear "And it is now as of move X we have a completely new game."

[@ghassanbarghouti1945]

I lolled when you said "But of course we all know that Carlsen doesn't believe in fortresses"

[@ChesswithAli]

The youth in chess are getting better than ever❤❤

[@PawnPush24]

How could the first game and the Nodirbek Abdusattorov game in the same tournament be the only two times these first 18 moves were played? I wonder if some prep sharing is happening. Seems extremely unlikely an opening would go 18 moves with only 2 games in the database from such close competitors. Unless I’m missing something.

[@MultiFirefox23]

The endgame play of Magnus is impeccable

[@polyshells]

The insolent youngster! So funny, thank you!😊

[@magicsilence]

can someone smarter than me explain why at 8:07 the white knight doesn't take the black rook, and then after bishop takes rook on a1, white can push E4 to allow their knight back into the game?

[@tinne26]

Black will keep advancing the pawn to queen anyways after moving the knight away. You might think the worse that can happen is that you still give up a white knight for the promoted queen, so it leads to the same outcome... but that's not the case. Black can challenge the knight defending the promotion square with its own knight, so black gets a queen. So, sure, the white knight can "get back into the game", but it's not quick enough to lead to a better outcome.

[@LukeE19]

The knight is too far away to help with the defense of the pawn so Bishop C3 and whites knight closer to the pawn can't enter the game either and defend giving ample time to push the pawn to queen

[@JStankXPlays]

If only I was in the library last night instead of the bar I would have been able to solve todays pause the video and win the game puzzle😂😂

[@chichoskruch21]

The first game where I actually immediately found the correct move for the win :)

[@Merlino.]

I love when agad mentions the insolence of a young player. 😆 🤣 😂 😹

[@saggiteightyfour8367]

Vincent's knight fork was an obvious blunder, but his position was already weak. It's hard to spot why beforehand. I had to watch from the start again.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Magnus capturing Keymer’s light squared Bishop preventing castling rights for Vincent was tough than losing both his pawns instead of defending with his knight the beginning of the end that’s a tough opening I can see where Vincent had some advantage at first maybe he should taken the b5 pawn while he had a chance with his knight Good Game Thanks Agadmator

[@r.mcdonnell8614]

I don't bring in rooks to harass my opponent, I bring in rooks to avoid stalemating him! And because even years after being taught chess, I just like the way they look

[@fourtime7]

G7 bishop was a menace.

[@michaeltellurian825]

The Benoni used to be called, disparagingly, The Baloney. Apparently, it has been rehabilitated.

[@BenHyle]

Go Vincent! I say before I see any moves.

[@Jamesjohnson22412]

Magnus is a master of end game, and can squeeze water from stones 🔥

[@vsolcarv]

Haha 27seconds since upload? I'm early.😅

[@tarico4436]

Maybe Keymer kept playing past "normal" time to resign because of Carlsen's recent goofy giveaway of his knight to that ten-year-old.

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Many GM’s often resign too soon, in my opinion, because they can calculate that they are in a losing position. The fan favorites are usually the players who bring the fighting spirit.

[@markrobertson3054]

That was bullet brother…

Drowning slowly , very slowly ...

[@siddharthshah9316]

Why not take the rook on a8 with the knight?

[@chesneytube1]

Magnus seems to struggle against Vincent... Vincent seems mentally stronger where most people would waiver... I've seen Magnus try and fail multiple times to break him. Although of course when push comes to shove in clutch situations like in the world cup Magnus comes out on top. Usually they draw in situations where Magnus would normally win. I mean this game is a bad example haha but apart from this one that's what I've noticed.

[@JhayHope]

Magnus didn't believe in fortress when it comes to endgame. But if it's no time limits against a formidable opponent, one day he will

[@jsgolden]

He knew this sooner…all the way on move 1

[@kirkcupido9730]

Funny how these workers couldn't simply say no and quit

[@stoutlager6325]

I looked at this benoni line as well. It's... uh, it's one of those things Magnus makes look good but in my hands it would be a disaster. It's not very good to begin with, black's win rate in it is pretty awful in comparison to other alternatives (still in the Benoni), and it looks hard to play in general.

from 2 pawns up to 1 peice down,,,,wow

[@Greatermaxim]

I have nothing against our guy, Vincent. He only lost to our boy, Maggie.

[@jessejordache1869]

I think it has to be ...Nd5, in order to jail the white knight in the corner in case of Nxa8. ...Nd7 allows the knight to slip out via c7. I could double-check this on a computer, but that feels like cheating.

[@primeobjective5469]

Knights are, for a lack of a better word, tricky bastards.

[@Biskawow]

Why didn't he take the rook and defended pawn promotion with 2 knights?

[@levhart32]

I love Agadmator speaks like, will punish him for his insolence. 😅 And promote to a Queen or even a rook to harass your opponent for not resigning earlier.I could identify with that. I do that regularly. It's like come on ,you have to resign already, so I just promote to a rook.!

[@jetzeschaafsma1211]

I'd like it if play continued until mate was on the board.

[@nicbentulan]

2nd: I believe Wesley is still the classical WFRCC while Hikaru is just the rapid WFRCC. Q1 Why weren't the 'slow rapid' games in the 2019 wfrcc considered classical when they are 60min games and the minimum for classical is 60min? Q2 Why are the 2022 WFRCC games considered 'slow rapid', as in the same category for the 2019 wfrcc 60min games, when they are actually 32.5min games? What I understand is (0,10) = Blitz [10,60) = rapid [60,120) = classical but unrated if so and so conditions [120,infinity) = classical P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S.

You know what a little issue is that i always encountered with you, and i think many viewers also ? 2:45 you said, instead vincent takes with the bishop. But you lost me already there like always - sometimes its not clear when you show an idea or what the last move was from the players before you show an idea. So you just said 'instead Vincent takes with the bishop, but i dont remember what the last move was from magnus after you explaining the idea. I always encountered this with you. Much love ❤

[@specialkalberta]

Although I'm probably not qualified to offer an opinion, my understanding is that being up a minor piece at this level of play pretty much guarantees the player who is up a piece will win although I must admit it was not that easy for Magnus to prove it in this case although he obviously did.

[@pattabiramans]

It's just arrogance to not resign against Magnus, expecting him to make a blunder. Magnus is an undisputed goat.

[@viorry1829]

Agreed. It's understandable if your opponent is low on time. But it's the opposite? Magnus has 30 minutes and Keymer has only 6 minutes during the first pause the video moment. At that point you're just being annoying if you didn't resign
