09:04 Magnus has just studied the board for FORTY seconds ... but then moved Rook F5 (takes pawn) instead of first going Rook F3 to chase the white king out of the advancement path of his last pawn ... is this not a brutal mistake?? He could have leveraged his last pawn up the board and had a pretty good chance, from what I can tell ...
I don't think so. there was a king versus a king & pawn remaining but Magnus' king is in a draw position. They earn one second each time they play so it would have been a draw. Magnus could not have come to this rank if he had given such gifts to his opponents ^^
Wow that was so gutsy to avoid a draw with only 3 seconds on the clock while Magnus has 1:20. You would have to be confident in your hand dexterity let alone your calculation speed.
At 8:14 he tries to make eye contact, then raised his hand in the handshake position for a split second before moving his King. This suggests he wants his opponent to make the 3rd repetition move and accept the Draw. The opponent ignores the offer, almost shakes his head "no" before breaking the repetition by moving his Rook to a new square thereby declining the Draw. Am I correct? I know little about Chess.
i don't think that's accurate. his opponent was already repeating moves, so magnus thought he wanted to draw already and that's why he looked at him. but when he realised that's not the case, then magnus just made his next move. he definitely did not try to offer a handshake for a split second. if you immediately do that without it being clear that your opponent wants a draw, then it can only be interpreted as you're resigning. also i don't see the opponent shaking his head. he was just glancing at the clock.
2 move repetition was just to build time on the clock... it was half a move away from a draw by repetition, I didn't see a draw offer from magnus, only an expectation based on the previous 2 moves.
@@tejas_2822 so, if I touch a piece before my opponent completes his move, im obligated to move that piece. So, like, my opponent could theoretically play something different based on such obligation?
Vakhidov clearly has confidence in his end game. Risky not accepting a draw at that point with only 4 seconds compared to over a minute. All it takes is a single blunder with the Rook and you lose. Unlikely, but it does happen even to the best and time pressure can really hit.
Magnus had to think after the draw was denied, so it wasn't like he KNEW that the game would end in a draw. However, that game ended in a draw regardless. Magnus must have a crazy intuitiveness that allows him to know far into the future how a position will turn out with a fair degree of accuracy
This is why Magnus is the GOAT. He is of course, a prodigious player... but his sportsmanship is second to none. Like that game he adjusted his pieces for a minute wasting time... some think it was him messing with his opponent, but really it was because his opponent waited for him to show up (being late in typical Magnus fashion) instead of starting his timer and forcing a forfeit. Magnus sees that, starts his timer, then burns his own time as a show of respect.
@jestertheslacker Magnus was late, so his opponent COULD have started the clock. On arrival Magnus sees this and burns his own time when hesita down out of respect. Many see this as a mind game from Magnus, but really it's a credit to his sportsmanship. It was not his opponents fault he was late (nor his own for real) but they showed each other respect. I hope more people see this and understand that media tends to blow things out of proportion.
@jestertheslacker we were not talking about this game in this thread, but rather our favorite sportsmanship show of Magnus. This is another example (albeit a lesser one than one we describe) but still a similar example where media says one thing yet Magnus and game theory say another. I prefer to listen to Magnus and theory than media.

He got into position with his king to deny the forward progress of the pawn. Game would become a stalemate at that point (draw). Both players agreed game was done at that point.
Once you get to certain situations with certain pieces, you already know all the possible outcomes. It's possible for someone to make a mistake, but when you have this much experience, it's always the same result. He just didn't want to waste any more time than necessary on redundancy.
Someone explain...was it a draw at the end? White could have pushed his pawn. What happened at the end? Why was it a draw? Ka7, then black can't defend a8. if white pawn pushed, couldn't white promote?
@@ksham. I see what you're getting at, but doesn't Magnus still have to move his king from the spot that completely blocks the white king and back every other move, meaning that there could be an opening where the white king could move one file inwards and allow the pawn to pass? The black king only blocks the white king from moving into the b file if it's on the same rank as the white king, so every other turn when the black king moves away from that same rank the white king could move either one rank up or down into the b file, letting his pawn pass? Edit: I just saw that black can just go back and forth between c7 and 8, which does not block the white king from going back onto the b file on every second move, but does in fact mean that if the white king does so the black king could either block or take the pawn before it promotes anyway.
He choked @6:30 he just needs to go Ke3 to push g4 and then overthinks and goes to c3 after burning his whole clock. What a pity after a great game he played
if that move then carlson can just take rooke with his rooke and then he is free to move the other which he does later anyways. I am not a chess pro or near it lol so if I dont see something it is because I dont see 20 moves ahead.
To be honest i have not watched the video yet but as the title says he did not agree to a draw … i would not neither if i ever played against the best player in history i would have try to take some notes and improve my own game by getting defeated and learn from it
Hi guys ! Just to be sure. They shake hands at the end for a draw, because no matter what, the pawn won't be able to promote ? Carlsen's King will take the pawn, Vahkidov can't defend it ?
@@Z_H_G pawn takes and then...? black moves bishop and then pawn forward with check to discover another attack on same rook. That's a winning move, computer agrees too.

@@mewithmychick6960 yes that seems right but it's magnus, he'd probably use imbalances to atleast try to hold (these positions can get quite tricky to win, especially if the bishop acts as an anchor for the pawns.. If magnus has enough pawns, he'd prob win. But its blitz so...
@@zygorrette992 its still quiete a disadvantage for Magnus tho. I mean, its prob not totally lost because Magnus is Magnus and there is a 300 Elo gap but i surely wouldnt bet on him winning it 😂 At such a level, the most likely result is a loss after blundering like that.
Yes that's annoying. In the club where I play it's even more annoying, some players take a piece off the board and then suspend it in the air. We have loose rules but I try to enforce "real" rules

The opponent ignores the offer, almost shakes his head "no" before breaking the repetition by moving his Rook to a new square thereby declining the Draw.
At around 8:15 to 8:17, Vakhidov and Carlsen repeated the position two times, and at this point, Vakhidov could have claimed a draw by going back to the same square, causing a threefold repetition. Magnus briefly looked up and gestured at Vakidov, that Vakhidov could make a draw on that move. However, Vakhidov decided to continue the game by making a different move. Although Magnus never offered a verbal draw, he did acknowledge that a draw could be claimed by Vakhidov if he wanted it.
White cant push his pawn to promotion tho since either the black king will place itself on a8, blocking the way or whites king will go there to prevent blacks kill from entering but then you just mirror the whites kings movements and prison hin on the a-file while blocking his own pawn
@rodbenson5879 You’re wrong. KA7 by white accomplishes nothing because now whites King is blocking his own pawn on the A file from eventually advancing to A8. All Magnus has to do is keep alternating moves with his King between c8 and c7 and white can never get his king out of the A file to B8 or B7 to let his own pawn pass by. If white tries retreating his king to say B6 to clear the A file for his own pawn to advance Magnus then simply moves to B8. This was a draw.
carlsen blunders too. maybe he couldve saved the game since its blitz and anything can happen but Be4 is +2, more than enough advantage for a 2500 to convert

You’re wrong. KA7 by white accomplishes nothing because now whites King is blocking his own pawn on the A file from eventually advancing to A8.
