Didn't Magnus say that this year he plans to win every single tournament he participates in? So far so good...
If he did, I wonder if that'd be a better accomplishment than skipping the Candidates?
@@lernmor2137 Bro he doesn't wanna play in the Candidates nor WCC
The strongest chess event isn't WCC its the candidates Magnus can yet again show his dominance via winning candidates
@@P.sherman45by winning it and still refuse to play WCC? That’s just silly and disrespectful to the other players! We all know that Magnus would have won both the candidates and WCC if he was bothered..
@@P.sherman45 No point in winning the candidates if he wouldn't play against Ding in WCC, let the other players get chances instead
Don't give up, fight for the draw. -Magnus Carlsen.
Dear agadmator; Thank you for the consistency, analysis, sense of humour, and of course, for the content. I subscribed to your channel maybe in 2019 or 18' and since then, your channel is my go to when I want to take a break from studying, work or even life 😂 Much love & appreciation. A subscriber from Iraq.
man, magnus dominance in chess is ridiculous.
Especially how strong the field. 2400-2500 elo players can beat the top chess guys on a good day, so for Magnus to consistently show up when it matters is just awesome.
@@Waywind420 Can we finally put the debate to rest: Greatest chess player ever to live?
He keeps reminding me of a guy called Messi in football. They both are unmatched.
@@foaadmohamed1001and I suppose DJOKOVIC
@@ParleLeVu no, I’d still say Kasparov clears
I love how you always do these videos in a single take with no edits. That must take a lot of practice and prep work.
We are very fortunate that we are witnessing all of this man's dominance in 64 squares, Very lucky generation indeed.♥️
Rapport so often comes achingly close to beating Magnus but always falls at the final hurdle.
This wasnt the final hurdle, he had like 6 chances
The nerves got to him. I bet against every other player he'd push through. Playing against Magnus is more about jedi mind tricks than chess for these top players
Their record is huge plus for magnus
Magnus is great at swindling Rapport, he swindled him in the world blitz when Rapport was up a rook
#suggestion: Grenke Open 2024 Erigaisi vs Tudor, Henry A young FM held a draw with Rook+Knight vs Queen with black against Arjun. The game lasted over 150 moves.
I'm not sure that would be an entertaining watch for the average viewer, sounds more like something your chess coach would force you to analyze, but cool result I guess. I think it's a great suggestion, but perhaps better for a channel which focuses more on super detailed and high level chess education
Magnus winning tournament has become so normal nowdays like bread for a sandwich 🥪
He continues to prove himself when he doesn’t need to really, even if he retired right now, he is considered the best ever or at worst 2nd best ever . But he just carries on dominating in an era when there are so many chess super grandmasters. Chess is at its highest right now , more skilful players in the world than ever before
The fact that Anand is still basically top 10 is insane.
One of the most talented players of all time.
Because he doesn't play that often lol
@@wtfdude1830 When he does, his ratings don't decrease
weak opposition. otherwise they do decrease
@@donsimons9810if you're that strong every opposition is "weak"
Watched so many of your videos, but this one is one of your best, really enjoyed it
I had an accident and won't be able to walk for another 2 weeks so I'm even more excited for the candidates, at least it gives me something to do or rather watch. I'm rooting for Hikaru (and Praggo). If Hikaru wins and goes on to win the world championship I could see Magnus play in the next candidates just so these two end up playing for the world championship.
It would be so fun if Hikaru . I am rooting for Hikaru
I hurt my back almost 5 years ago. Was bedridden for almost a year. Many surgeries, etc later I am still not recovered. Agadmator’s Chess Channel has been a big part of my mental health during this time honestly. Best wishes for your recovery and thank you so much for your comment. Very encouraging for me.
Magnus has stated publicly that he won't play them and is not interested. Wish you a speedy recovery however.
@@anthonyschlott916 Yes, I know it's unlikely he'll ever play in a candidates tournament again but a man can dream ;)
@@LukeLongboneOfficial I'm sorry to hear you have to go through this. I hope you'll eventually make a recovery.
This guy is a phenomenon. Greatest all time chess player ever. In every goddamn format. Not to take anything away from the greats of chess, but this guy is ridiculously consistent above all and is good at every time format. It's a shame that the rest of the field can’t match upto him. Kind of wrecks the excitement factor because we know whos gonna win anyway. Meanwhile hikaru raking up online elo points. Congrats hikaru fans. 😅
He rarely makes a brilliant move that leaves one awestruck, but he rarely fails to play the optimal move. Sooner or later his opponent will play a suboptimal move and the advantage will switch to his favor.
Thank you for analyzing this. I watched the live stream and the evaluation bar was bouncing like a ping-pong ball, but I didn't have a clue on all of the nuances in the positions.
Winning more tournaments than Ding winning games.
😂
Best comment all year!!!
Sad but true
😮
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
It makes me smile to see Agad bring up comments to previous video that I read too😊
great video and great comments 16:04 "the magnus effect" 👍😂 thank you agad!
Excellent analysis
Trust me i found lot of winning moves for Richard throughout the game even including final "only win" move! Thank you Agadmator as your old subscriber your analysis has well effect on me😊
Magnus has plot armor which MC always have :D
I don't know why you didn't, but you so deserve so many more likes on this comment.
In this game Magnus was lost 250 times😲😲😲
For real Richard entirely choked nerve’s definitely got the better of him
@@michaelmassaro4375 You are right. He was very nervous.
I liked very much that you had a quote by my favorite player, Capablanca, topping this game. I wanted Rapport to win this one, mostly because he makes chess incredibly interesting. But I'm always happy when Magnus wins a tournament. Great video. Great analysis. Thanks for all your effort.
that pawn to b4 with the rook mate made me chuckle - as always b4 is winning
That was a VICIOUS game, like a wild swordfight, leaping all over the stage and you think every lunge is going to end it in bloody fashion - but they all just miss the mark. I hope the stunt doubles were well-paid. I now go off to do my own online matches in exactly the wrong frame of mind.
Magnus still be Magnus while the next gen fights to see who the next Magnus is, legend.
When it comes to big centers, like Rapport has after 19.d4, for a positional overview I like to look at how many minor pieces are left. With half of them gone, I don't consider it a big factor: with three or more minor pieces per side, it's a cramp for the player with the smaller center, but Magnus has plenty of space for his two minor pieces. The major pieces aren't really dependent on space the same way.
We’re witnessing GOATness
the good stuff!
@agadmator your board is shifted a bit to the left side.
I came here to say this. It bothers me so much.
Where can we watch the livestream of the candidates?
Hi Agadmator, In case of points tied between two players, why not Armageddon games played to decide the winner rather than playing 2 rapid/ 2 blitz games ?
hey @agadmator which software do you use in order to check, whether a position has been reached before or not? Greetings from Austria!
Not that I could do better but Richard kinda sold this one. He’s probably kicking himself
6:20 interesting statement that only shows how good Magnus is. He puts other players in such positions where the best moves (even winning ones) are hard to spot.
do they have a decreasing rating point system for non activ player ? or can you just hold ranking by not playing ?
They are marked after a period of inactivity, I think 2 years
Greatest of all time Magnus has won another event!!!
Hello Agad! I could not find any article on the set of anti-cheating measures at Toronto; not sure if there is a 15-minute broadcast delay either. Any information on that?
Good tournament from Rapport he kind of choked in this game even Anish spotted a mating net for Rapport he just couldn’t find Magnus stated himself Richard should’ve pushed the g pawn Thanks for the Game Enjoy your day
16:30 its cuz magnus defends awesome.
Time works against Magnus as well😂👏
I'm curious if online games between average players are included when Agamator says "we have a totally new position." Or if only top level tournament games are included. I've wondered this for some time. He does address this but it isn't clear when or how often the larger data base of online games is included. That's a lot of games, and there may be some hidden gems in there.
Magnus era baby... ❤
if magnus played the world championship he would be the world champion.
Richie seeing ghosts every where make this game look pretty haunted.
Magnus is a good friend of rapport 😊
Rapport should’ve won a couple of games against Magnus here. He’s an excellent player. Just hard to shine brightly in the Magnus era. Richard is one of my favorite players. He just plays exciting chess. I like Shak too, but haven’t seen him lately?
No, me either. Idk about mamedyarov or if he still plays tournaments. Outside of Magnus. I do like Abdusattorov and Fabi. I think resilience and being able to save lost games is more valuable than fancy attacking games. Magnus does this very well and so does Fabi. Nepo on a good day.
I heard Shak became the a second for Nijat Abasov in the candidates tournament. He might not appear in tournaments often, but he's certainly still busy behind the scenes
GOAT
This Magnus guy...that rook pin when being threatened with CM is just ice cold
I love your videos :)
how does the candidates tournament work?? like what’s the format??
How does the candidates progresses
I can’t believe Rapport didn’t find that rook move, which would’ve won the game. i find out quickly
I've been In that exact opening position dozens of times. And still lose most 😅
# suggestions Who are you picking? Can you do a pre candidates analysis that includes your pick for winner?
At 6:48, isn't there a fork with the queen on G2?
What fork?
Rook can block.. that defends the bishop too
If Qe2+, then one of the rooks can block and defend the bishop
Qe2+ Rf2
Wow. The Magnus effect is real
This candidates should have had a double round robin
Anand being nearly top 10 at his age is insane.
15:36 what about black queen to d3 check?
Over the board in serious tournaments is valid criteria for a new game. Specially to KZhead audience. 😊
❤
How to players qualify for the candidates?
Why does it feel like Magnus is the Goat even if considered among the greatest in every sport in the planet.
#suggestions Do release an informative video on Candidates Tournament covering total rounds , format, favourites, past records, new things this year, changes, etc . Must include the womens section information too. Thankyou.
i love Rapport!
Not the INVINCIBILITY CLOAK💪🏽
Meanwhile the reigning WCC is struggling to win six games OTB 😂😂😂
2:58 bold of u to assume i will win against Rapport even in that position. i Know somehow my queen will be there offboard soon
And yes, chess is a sport. Have you ever seen Tal playing in a blitz game? Just as exciting as any sporting event.
it’s a game, not a sport.
@@giacomocasanova2893 arguable. Burns calories, internationally recognized, (fide+olympics) willing to conede chessboxing. do you accept draw?
"(Magnus) has his invincibility cloak on and there's nothing you can do about it" rofl
Agad the board seems shifted to the left
So close yet so far, Rapport could have won this game but we all are happy with the result, ain't we ? ☺️
10:20 instead of doubling on the f file why not double the rooks on the 7th rank?
Ladies and gentlemen we just witnessed the Magnus effect
IC. invincibility Cloak
Only guy who is not "scared" of Magnus in my opinion is Nodirbek,he goes for it 😎
Q to D2 check by Magnus would have picked up his rook.
Magnus plot armor is properly in place.
15:20 Qe4 isn't good? Plan c3,c2,c1Q.
I am completely baffled by this thumbnail. I will probably be baffled after it's explained too.
(ok, the thumbnail move is capturing a knight, which leaves way fewer alternative moves. Overall trade queen for knight and rook, leaving two rooks and knight vs bishop and queen)
It is a new position. Do not give in to the bean counters.
Jan Malek just won against Vlademeer Fedoseev #suggestion
I kept praying that Rapport would win, but somehow he never finds the right way to do it
Brilliant moves negated by too many suboptimal moves. Tournament after tournament.
The Magnus effect is strong
Tough game for Rapport
do we know about all the players second?
Magnus's hair is catching up to Richard's.
Agad please uşdate magnus photo
Magnus has plot armor
Anish is mad
If white initiates a queen trade with Qf3 the bishop on a4 hangs. at 3:13
Believe me or not in this position if magnus was with white then he wins but unfortunately rapport didn't find the winning move
So both Rameshbabu siblings have q chance at the candidates’
Goat is now officially renamed to Magnus Carlsen
#suggestion please show a game yagız kaan erdogmus played in grenke he became the youngest gm in fide and the 4th youngest gm in history in this tournament
Magnus man..
I found Rf3 that's all. But they are great players. Poor Rapport.
Maybe put the pause the video after you fix the aspect 😂
#suggestion Hey Agad, it´s Lenier PErez not PerEz. The first e is accentuated. I tell you this because I know you are very serious about the pronunciation of names. Regards from Argentina!!
I will do my best to remember for next time!
