This game in a nutshell: Radjabov does something *but it's not a problem*

[@halfaheartbongobongo]

My favorite part of this game was the endgame. Those two passed pawns did look really scary, but Wesley's technique pushing the two connected passed pawns was perfect.

[@groussac]

Right. When Wesley's in the groove, it's fun to watch him play.

[@leeshepherd834]

I swear I narrate my own chess games with his voice in my head and I think it makes me play better

[@kylecopeman6554]

[@bishfish4588]

And its in this position i blundered my queen and resigned the game

[@timespaice]

Wesley dodged everything like some kind of Ninja. Incredible game.

[@MissMailer]

Beautiful yet complicated endgame. From a beginner's perspective, you would thought Radja had it in the bag.

[@MartinPineda98765abcd]

Totally agree. Just goes to show how deep these super GMs think compared to us mere mortals

[@Uprising771]

he did have it in the bag. he messed up

[@vince6264]

Finally, Wesley So's game! He's playing great in this tour so I'm really waiting for his games to be analyzed.

[@TheChessDude124]

Yeah me too

[@milankaplan2166]

Yeah, Wesley and Radjabov playing best chess in this event (hardly any mistakes - unlike Magnus).

Wesley has been absolutely a beast lately, a great strategist and a positional master, reminds of Botvinik and Kramnik, but on the other hand he is absolutely sharp when necessary, if the position is sharp he will rarely miss the chance

[@brucehighcock4568]

Prescient maneuvering to defend against queen and pawn attack...genius.

[@superman5742]

It's a brilliancy by Wesley. ❤️

[@08lexter]

How is he to know that the pawn he threatened many times is the very same pawn about to deliver the final (and brutal) blow. It's just too painful to swallow that's why he chose to resign. What a masterpiece by wesley.

[@n20games52]

Wesley seemed to have calculated that end game out many moves. He sees it all.

[@kirkmason7079]

Good job Agadmator, nicely analyzed

[@turanturkiye]

Avesome game, Radjabov is added excitement with sacriface , things we need these days ,thank you all👏🏻

[@tigrengbisakol8280]

[@pierredrappier7587]

Hey Agadmator ! Do you think you could publish in your videos more pictures of people playing and promoting chess throughout the world as you did some time ago ? I am a teacher in a highschool in France and I created a chess club in my school which is working pretty well. I was wondering if you could publish some of the pictures of my pupils playing chess. They would be trully amazed if you did, as many of them know your channel... That would also really help promoting the club and bring more pupils. We are already about 12 but imagine if in this small highschool I manage to get 30 or 40 teenagers to play chess... Hope to hear from you, and by the way, thanks for everything you do, your channel is just the best ! Pierre Drappier.

[@TheChessDude124]

[@davidwhite2949]

Amazing, especially for a rapid game

[@engr16]

Damn breathtaking

[@milojames5593]

Felt like watching a Jason Borne film

[@ivann1n]

@Peter Mortensen I think I get the feeling too, although not a fan of Bourne movies, but any Hollywood movie fits: Black (the villain) is about to win. His two marching pawns go forward about to promote. White stops them smartly with the bishop. BUT Black has an ace under their sleeve, and starts pushing another solitary unstoppable pawn. White cannot stop them both. Still, White keeps advancing his own 2 pawns. Black is about to fullfill his evil plan but just then, at the last second, White pulls off an amazing plot twist with his most humble weapon, the pawn, which smartly makes the threat of Black's ultimate weapon completely useless. White saves the day and everyone goes home. Cut to 5 years later with a statue of Wesley So in the middle of some square in the US, remembering the time he saved the day and stopped the evil forces of Black with a brave pair of pawns

[@brianpaquin7333]

This is off-topic to the video, but anyway: Maybe when engines play each other, they should score from 1-10 points for a win, depending on how quickly they win. That should inspire them to get on with things, and prevent some of the 200-move games. They might even be inspired to take chances, depending on tournament standings.
