It’s definitely very appreciated when you finish the games as it is not always obvious to us lower rated players why there is nothing more to be done 😉

[@akmd114379]

Well when you're ahead a queen and knight there's literally nothing to be done.

[@princeosars3298]

In some cases yes, but In this case it's pretty clearly obvious

[@ignaciomeneseslopez3282]

totally

[@parthsavyasachi9348]

​@@akmd114379not all games finish with one person queen ahead.

[@charlesshaw9808]

I like it when you finish the games. Seeing the material advantage is one thing, but having you explain how to convert it to a win is valuable.

[@marklondon9004]

We like to see Checkmate always. It's a nice sense of completion.

[@DavideMartiniCommentatore]

...and this endgame wasn't as straight forward as you may expect. White has to avoid stalemate, it requires a bit of technique.

[@DavidChong]

I don't need to see it if it means pushing a pawn all the way across the board from its starting position & promoting, or if it's something simple like a ladder or queen & king or rook & king, but if it's a relatively quick one that involves another piece like this, fair enough.

[@tinamp811]

You showing how the games would finish has actually helped me in my chess games. I've drawn on those explanations to be better at giving back material in order to seal a game up and avoid stalemates.

[@wot_hog]

Thank you for bringing back your traditional format agad, I much prefer it!

[@d4slaimless]

Agreed!

[@zaraxoxoxox]

Yes agreed

[@Shockprowl]

#suggestion -Maybe for bullet games, at the end of the video show all the moves again IN REAL TIME! If that's possible. It would be really interesting to see just how fast these guys play such accurate games. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@gump1005]

Yes!! I do enjoy it when you finish the game. Please continue this practice.

[@ethanyamazaki1755]

Thank you for showing the ending. It gives a sense of completion, and sometimes it's absolutely necessary. These super GM's can see 10 moves into the future and resign, but us mortals need to be shown what the fuck happened.

Meanwhile Gukesh has become the youngest player ever to cross 2750 & currently ranked World No. 11. Now he is only 3 points behind World No. 9 Vishy Anand. If he surpasses him, Gukesh will become the first Indian to do so in published ratings since 37 years. His next tournament will be The World Cup next month. Rooting for him to go all the way!

[@sdiax25]

My favorite layout :) many thanks. Thank you for finishing the game, it is an asmr thing.

One of the best games they played! They were playing so fast that the engine evaluator couldn't keep up. Hikaru definitely pushes things to the next level.

[@ejimoforemma6917]

Watching agadmator finish a game is one of the things that got me hooked up to his channel, have always enjoyed it

[@chandramohan_sonder]

While I have no issues with your classical layout, I do think that you should consider changing it a bit while also remaining true to the classical layout. Further, you can put a timestamp for finishing the game even after when "there is nothing more to be done" and people for whom the endgame was straightforward can just skip to the end.

[@luckyarabr]

Excellent!

[@joshpinchuk7061]

Forgot the quote above the board.

[@cygnustsp]

I like to see the games finished, especially games like this, because I'd probably blunder stalemate.

[@DrFatnutzz]

I love it when you finish the games. I don't always know the reason why there is nothing more to be done here lol

[@sasanghaffari9424]

I think Alireza is honestly better on paper even in 1+0. the thing is that he needs a bit more experience! Hiraku is really chill due to so much experience in matches and streaming. in the beginning of the match Alireza was dominating and then lost focus, and experience is the reason. let's not forget 13 more years of experience makes a huge difference!

[@bilguunnyamaa7767]

35 year old beats a 20 year old. Imagine if they were the same age. Hikaru was a bullet demon back in the day. This isn't his peak form I would say.

[@jeremyvorberg3678]

You clearly don't watch chess much lol. Hikaru used to be better when he was younger. 20 is plenty old enough to be elite form

[@DieFlabbergast]

"Hiraku"?? Who he?

[@Fentoscopique]

Dude I don't get your point. Experience MUST be considered even "on paper", Hikaru has much more experience than Alireza and this is one of the reason he won Maybe you could say that Alireza has more brut talent or potential, but this is different

[@jeremyvorberg3678]

@@Fentoscopique Experience is better for longer time formats. Bullet chess is all about speed and extreme cognitives. Also premoving luck. Age definitely not on Hikarus side

[@epiong]

I enjoy it when you finish the game for one simple reason: I am so bad at chess that I need you to finish it so I can see how to do it 🙂

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I’m just surprised Alireza missed the knight Check and losing his Queen nice move by Hikaru capturing the Knight with his Rook one player misses a move the other nails it

[@pg9687]

Hikaru vs. Alireza was a crazy match yesterday. If it was a 30 minute match Hikaru would have lost but he finished strong in what was an amazing 45 minutes of bullet.

[@Area_Man]

Love the new version of the old format!

[@Monika77ful]

Spot on.

[@jasimcpcp0764]

Please dont change old interface... 🙂

[@w.s6124]

Is actually still pick Hikaru even in 1+1 but it would definitely be a very close match. Magnus just doesnt convince when it comes to mouse speed. Also he lost a lot of blitz games in Titled tuesday to Hikaru and also the speed chess championship and there it is +2 so...

[@neversayxever]

You have to finish the game because we are the ones who don't know what to do when we are extremely up in material and time

[@michaelmassaro4375]

If I’m up material it actually gets very easy as far as finishing a game like a boxer on the ropes just go about finishing him off with more jabs and a knockout punch

Why did ge remove the quote from top of the screen. I have a lot of favorite things when I watch this channel but daily quote has to be one of the most favorite!

[@markhaley3046]

Please keep finishing the games for us. Sometimes I can see the futility of playing on, but not always by a considerable margin.

[@garyrickard8918]

Keep finishing the games for us mortals!

[@McLKeith]

The white queen could also have been pushed forward to h6. Then the black pawn couldn’t take the knight without losing the queen. White’s queen on the next move has a potential checkmate on g7.

[@m.b.vienna3929]

I like the "old" screen setup very much... please dont change it - oldschool for life 😎

[@chiroo2]

yeah, but you could also argue it's not fair not to loose time on move, cause it takes at least some time to execute it, now it's who's better premover

[@lindsaygaga4587]

Nobody is talking about the interface... Agad I think you need to keep it this way, I prefer the interface like this, just my 2c

I promised myself that I wasn't going to comment about the interface but I really enjoy this one a lot better.

[@JD-xz1mx]

Side question, who is the best bullet player in the world *in comparison to their classical rating* ? I would posit that one way to interpret "best" would be "the person who receives the most benefit from this particular format". I don't know the answer btw. Its just, Magnus is the best player on the planet in general, anyway. It somewhat effects how you view his talent for bullet specifically. Daniel Naroditsky wouldn't have a ghost of a chance playing a set of classical against Magnus, but on any given day has a shot at winning bullet. Clearly Danya receives more benefit from bullet than Magnus does. Obviously Magnus is overall going to win at bullet as well once enough games are played. The point is, when you add qualifiers to the question of "best" there suddenly becomes a wide variety of ways to look at the question.

[@blankcomments_]

the force is strong with him.

Disappointing loss especially after climbing back in the game the pawn push seemed a blunder as you stated overall I heard Alireza played really well against Hikaru but Hikaru ran off with 4 wins at the end of the match I’m Glad for Hikaru playing so well they’ll be other matches for Alireza to win

[@hoomanov]

In Alireza's defence, he was outplaying Hikaru in most games and even dominating in the beginning until he couldnt control his nerves it seemed. I do believe Alireza is the strongest Bullet and Blitz player in the world when he is just focused on the board.

[@skyflores9827]

He obliviously isn’t, who just beat who? Part of being the best is being able to control your nerves in critical moments.

[@Abhishek-fe3zs]

Incredible cope. It's Hikaru. He's the best. Cry more

[@blindteammates4922]

Magnus beat Alireza and then Hikaru beat Magnus lol clearly not the best, not even 2nd

[@philgardiner6012]

Thanks for stopping using the dark theme!

[@BrutallyHonestBloke]

I think Magnus is missing practice in 1+0. He plays/played it less than Hikaru and Alireza. I really think he would be no. 1 if he practised it for a while. But currently Hikaru and Alireza are better I believe. It's hard to judge, but to me Alireza might be bit better despite the fact he lost this match. I think Alireza also lost bit of his sharpness as he basically dissapeared from chess scene for like a year with some exceptions. But before his fashion design studies he was beating Hikaru pretty regularly. It was not easy or with some big margin, but Alireza usually came on top.

[@sarevofaona]

I think you're right about the relative order of these three players. The fact Hikaru can win a match vs Alireza while commentating on his own game boggles the mind...

[@Jaylooker]

Nakamura plays the Vienna Game a lot in faster time formats

[@danwhiffen9235]

Alireza says “ it’s still early, we’re going to see what happens” Agad says “yeah, I don’t know” I don’t know why this struck me as funny… funny. 😂

[@Lolwutdesu9000]

Showing the end is always useful irrespective of whether it's a checkmate in a few moves or just a worse position is still helpful for those of us who will never reach the heights of the masters 😂
