[@BharatXtreme]

Even though its a tough loss for Vidit...but i RESPECT Vidit for going All IN for the WIN..COngrats Arjun..he is unstoppable.

[@ashesds1]

If i was a betting man i would bet on vidit butchering a winning game. Free money for me and free elo for opponent. Its not a skill or talent issue but purely nerves and confidence against strong opponents. He has the potential to be in the 2750 elite group but he needs to get his mental act together.

[@K2KK-f7q]

His time management is quite horrible. Like you said, I hope he gets his act together; He will certainly be a tough opponent to beat then.

[@vik24oct1991]

what if i told you hikaru was his opponent, will you still bet against vidit.

[@mognuscarlson5393]

​@@vik24oct1991Vidit did nothing special in the Candidates, I don't know how he defeated Hikaru in two games

[@vipulgupta]

The way he lost to Nepo in candidates is something which still disgusts me, probably only he could have lost that game, and that game is kind of similar to the way he has lost this game. He doesn't know when to stop based on his limits and take the draw when he puts himself under so much time pressure.

[@snatchinyopeople]

Get confident, stupid!

[@Lupinicus1664]

[@jramkumarpatnaik2877]

Thats Chinese philosophy to handle wars. Typical chinese wisdom

[@harrisahmedm]

15:59: Arjun makes the position cramped and restricted to a smaller area of the board and shows how a knight can dominate a bishop in such positions. That's such a useful lesson!

[@yashovardhanpatel2363]

Arjun is not officially 2800 yet.But his games prove his playing strength in classical is 2800 for sure.

[@rafaelrocha5626]

2803 as of right now

[@GiulianoBBianc]

#suggestion Hello Agadmator, would you please consider looking at the game between MVL and Parham Maghsoodloo of round 1 of this tournament? It features magic play by MVL, and a unique finishing position! Thank you!

[@AdmiralRamenNoodles]

Rook trapped in the corner is absolutely insane

[@mtaur4113]

Vidit going to lose some sleep after that haunting game. Sometimes they find it, but sometimes tenacity wins a losing position. Being human really stings sometimes.

[@deepjitdey3667]

It's Vidit. I'm sure he atleast has 10 other games where he squandered the win against top top players, after playing brilliantly in the whole game. He just lacks the edge to finish the games imo. Otherwise, he's pretty aggressive and strong and creates imbalances in the position regularly.

thanks for diving into this game agadmator! Endgames are so complex and beautiful with so many hidden ideas despite having so few pieces on the board - even the best of the best struggle to find all the strongest moves 100% of the time!

[@UnknownUser-j3n]

In every game, Vidit spends 30-45 minutes calculating the better of two lines (with 0.001 % difference) and then is forced to make 15 moves in 15 seconds towards the end. Its impossible to not blunder in such scenarios.

[@ancientscience8460]

[@naturalmystic67]

The Krammnik variation? I was expecting bc8.

[@Superboi100]

No way you totally skip why the ...Qxc3 wasn't even a consideration at 4:34 , my guess would be because white is already better developed but i'm not 2700

[@GIJane69]

Good point. Engine gives a 0.0 evaluation after this move. Imo it leads to a straight forward draw without interesting play or ideas to pursue. Otherwise, no clue at all.

#suggestion Goryachkina is currently 6/7 (5 wins in a row, 1 point lead) in the Women's Grand Prix. Maybe her game against Zhongyi is worth to analyze. Or maybe you could wait until the event is finished, to avoid getting her jinxed.

[@OmniscientDreamer]

16:13 the move is Kh7 if white plays Rg8+, as Kf7 Rf8+ Kg6 Rf6+ draws for white

[@Level123100]

6:02 i dont see why the pawn cant get captured... :(

[@its_me4182]

Because the f7 pawn is hanging, so after N×e4 white plays R×f7 and the threat of Rf8 mate is unstoppable

[@pi-frac-dev]

U should use engine in the game review it help us as a viewer to understand who is ahead in the game😊

[@MauricioMartinez0707]

5:58 "the pawn on e4 is hanging but of course everyone sees that it can't be captured" maybe for us weaker players your could just show why? made me feel bad ha

[@HeySenthil]

Coz rook & bishop are attacking F7 pawn. If knight takes pawn then RxF7 would be deadly as Black King is exposed and will fall
