The Berlin FIDE Grand Prix is the 16-player first of three legs of the 24-player 2022 FIDE Grand Prix that qualifies two players to the Candidates Tournament. Each player competes in two of the three tournaments, with the 16 players divided into four groups who play a double round-robin. The group winners advance to a knockout. Tiebreaks at any stage are played on the following day. Players can earn a maximum of 13 points for winning a leg.
Players receive 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes to the end of the game, plus a 30-second increment starting from move one. In case of a tie a 15+10 two-game match is played. If still tied, a 3+2 two-game match follows and then, if needed, an Armageddon game, where White has 5 minutes to Black's 4, but a draw counts as a win for Black. If more than two players are tied a round-robin tiebreak is played. Official website: worldchess.com

[@kennystimpson2775]

Facts

[@merijnvanwouden]

That’s a bit problematic because he explores many alternative lines and he replays everything using his mouse (he would have to update the clock status manually each move) This is why whenever relevant, he just mentions the time the players have left especially when they run out of it. The letter on the robot indicates the time control of the game (“C”=classical etc)

13:40 Why does the Bishop have to move? White could do the same trick as Black: sacrifice the piece and just capture Black's pawn on f5. Then White would be up a pawn and maybe win!?

White moved the pawn off the board

[@trapolinhoffelt9165]

In that episode he's joking about the openings

[@benoplustee]

@@trapolinhoffelt9165 how exactly?

[@trapolinhoffelt9165]

@@benoplustee During the episode none of them want to play chess cause they don't know how, he knows this and makes them play anyway. And than he when they make a move he says they are playing a specific opening, the purpose is two-fold, because he himself doesn't really know all those opening very well but saying the names makes them think he does so they all assume they'll get crushed. And by pretending that they know the opening themselves he is annoying them further because they all repeatedly tell him they don't play chess. By doing this he greatly annoys them, providing humor for both himself and the audience.

Perhaps this is a strange question, but what exactly did Dubov mean by "16 negative men?" Does he mean as in people who are being negative? Is it some reference to the pawns? Or is this some chess metaphor I don't understand? I'm just curious, it's a very interesting thing to say. I think the second half is true though. Perhaps being an astronaut is easier than being an extremely high-level GM.

When you go over the scenarios over what could happen is this something they consider while they're playing? Or like how many future moves do you think they consider before making their move? forgive me im low elo.

[@vektor3958]

It depends on the time format. In Classical chess players have time to consider many lines sometimes many moves deep. You can figure out which time format they playing by looking under Agadmator to see the letter on the robot's head. C stands for classical - a lot of time, R - rapid - is shorter , B - blitz - even more short

[@pedrorengel9603]

They are not only looking at linear continuations, but structures. What covers what, threats, hidden threats, short medium and long term objectives, endgame structure, defence and offence a la football, all these things and more they have to look at. What Agad shows is is a tiny glimpse into some things that are relevant to the position, like a visual representation of an atom to explain what nuclear phisicists do.
