What a brilliant game by levon. Using a rook and a bishop and four pawns to pretty much bring a king and queen to its knees. And it goes to show that you don't need a queen to win a brilliancy. Well played by levon.
Condolences to Magnus and family on the passing of his mother . Probably, Levon sacrificing his queen was because of the psychological impact of yesterday's game (Gukesh - Vidit ) . Also , this game has shades of Carlsen- Nepo game six in their world championship match .
In a way, Levon's fallen queen was a tribute to Magnus's mother, assuring him to continue. Play the best game with pieces left and win, of course with the blessings of the fallen queen!
Amazing game! It's so nice to see the, "old Levon" show up in a match. He outright humiliated Gukesh in this game to the point I was laughing at times.
Dang, that queen sac was somewhere between Leela and Stockfish. Has it been that long since Levon was 2800 that people have forgotten his prodigious talents on the 8x8? It's not like his talents are fading either... the challenge is the almost superhuman competition he and others now face, competing with GM's with thousands of high level games under their belt, raised by computers and AI. What a treat to see an old hand like Levon (just 41...lol) put on a performance like this. Bravo!
Absolutely amazing. Indeed, how does he do it. He somehow envisioned the potential of the position when they basically just entered the middle game, before anyone else could. Hope Levon has many years of art left in him!
It is amazing how many great players were born into the era of Magnus. Levon, Fabi - these guys all had a shot at being world champions if it wasn't for Magnus.
That's every era. Nimzowitsch. Keres. Bronstein. Geller. Korchnoi. If it wasn't for the likes of Alekhine, Capablanca, Petrosian, Tal, Fischer, etc. they'd be WC's too.
Only one can be on top. There's a big number of players who are close, but not getting there. Although you might expect WC title coming from one to another. However the format of challenging the title is such, that it really favors a long stay for a very strong player.
@@ndnd7614 You need to UNDERSTAND History and what OTHERS who know History mean! Fischer's era is NOT just 1972-1975, but it is from about 1965-1975! In this period Fischer DEFEATED all other POTENTIAL Champions like LARSEN, TAIMANOV, GLIGORIC, etc.
I came across Antonio’s site during the pandemic, and have enjoyed watching daily games ever since. I’ve seen hundreds of games, but this one for some reason stands out. Brilliant moves and masterful execution. Incredible game. Thank you for sharing.
All the love sent to the GOAT Magnus. I hope he's doing alright. I selfishly hope I'm the first in my family to die so as to not experience that pain. ❤ Secondly, a brilliant game by Levon. He shows exactly how you can win without a queen if your pieces are harmonized. Finally, Agadmator deserves much respect and appreciation for his tireless contribution to this beautiful game with these breakdowns. Awesome video.
Levon’s technique in just consolidating all his pieces without a queen while pushing his pawns toward promotion is masterful. That queen sacrifice was intuitive, but he knew that with the bishop pair and a rook vs an active queen and bishop was doable. The pawns were just unstoppable.
This endgame is very similar to the legendary game 6 between Magnus and Nepo in their world championship match. But I think that was with knight and rook and pawns vs. a helpless queen.
@devadathans5506 YOU do NOT understand the comments of others! NO comment LIMITED the period to ONLY when they were "World Champion"! Comments referred in GENERAL to players like "Nimzowitsch. Keres. Bronstein. Geller. Korchnoi, etc." NOT becoming World Champion because of "DOMINATION" by others like Alekhine, Capablanca, Petrosian, Tal, Fischer, etc. And I ADDED a few more names like LARSEN, TAIMANOV, GLIGORIC.
As soon as I saw white with a fully operational bishop pair AND a rook, I was like Black is done for. There's nothing Black can do there. Every colored diagonal square is being sliced, and the rook can cover everything in between. Of course the real beauty came later tho when Levon masterfully pushed his pawns and king to victory.
I don't think it has anything to do with engines or education. I think it has to do with Levon's artistic spirit. Everybody has a different philosophy in life. The Romantic players are interested in not only winning but doing it in a certain way, or creating something that they see as "beautiful", sometimes at the expense of results. Probably this style will always lag a little bit in terms of results, but on the other hand it captures the imagination and interest of people when they see stuff like this.
The difference between: Gm´s playing "something, something something" Agad is playing "something, something, something" Me playing "something, something, something" Feel free to pause the comment and try to find the diffrence while i´ll give you a couple somethings. Without further ado, and i know everyone found it. When i play "something, something" it doesn´t work 🤷♂☺
Exactly, let's play chess. I'm totally amazed at it too because somehow I figure Gukesh would have stayed neck and neck to a draw. Yeah that was pretty incredible
Brother Agadmator, at the time of typing this, the game in your video is Aronian-Gukesh, but the notation in your video description is for Gukesh-Caruana. Do you happen to have the notation for Aronian-Gukesh?

Try game call of duty mobile
Similar to game 6 of carlsen vs nepomniachtchi
I would take a rook, bishop, and four pawns over a queen any day 😂😂
More pieces but equal value beats one piece of equal value. For example two bishops and a knight are stronger than a queen.
It depends on the player.Its easy to use queen even for amateur rather than coordinating those pieces@@Iksvomid
This is just brilliant display of positional play with a pinch of attacking by Levon...A gem to watch...!!!
He is nice gentleman person

Yes a sad and difficult moment for Magnus and his family. It is rather injust to die so young at 61. Condoleances to him.
Levon knew he was going to sac his Queen in this game and win. It was a tribute to Mrs. Carlsen. Well done Levon !!!
How did she pass? From what?
@@kovy689 She passed peacefully. From this earth
@@zulqarnain9955 From what exactly…?

Do you know how she died?
This beautiful message deserves a wow indeed, so let me fix that, "Wow"
In what way?
When Levon is free to do what he wants, he does masterpieces.
Amazing game! It's so nice to see the, "old Levon" show up in a match. He outright humiliated Gukesh in this game to the point I was laughing at times.
Heartfelt condolences to Magnus. Levon will make him happy with this game. Brilliant stuff by the legend himself.

Levon Aronian is a ballet master. What a dance!
the piece maneuver to promote the pawn is just beautiful
I see the title and Levon - I've never clicked faster.
Have also clicked that faster on the Anand and Levon game where Anand created the immortal game ?😅😅😂
@@RadheRadhe-ln6swDon’t bring shame to Indian chess fans who love Levon
@@RadheRadhe-ln6sw 9 year old kid ?
This is by far one of the most fun games I've seen in awhile
This is what separates experienced masterminds from young talents. Truly an outstanding exhibition of chess from Levon👏👏👏

That queen sacrifice is something you do when playing against a 500 Elo beginner 😅
Excellent play, and I'm glad for the win in Magnus's seat by Levon. Our condolences to Magnus and his family.
At 9min mark your honesty is admirable
ليفون ..متعة ..خيال ... روعة
This game needs to be bookmarked
Wow! What a banger 🤯
Levon schooled the young one. What a game...
This is the game of our century
Levon be like, Lets take a short walk.😂
There is no shame in losing to levon even magnus struggle when he is in his full form and Gukesh is still learning
Levon’s technique in just consolidating all his pieces without a queen while pushing his pawns toward promotion is masterful. That queen sacrifice was intuitive, but he knew that with the bishop pair and a rook vs an active queen and bishop was doable. The pawns were just unstoppable.
Wow. Amazing. Great commentary. Makes it easy to follow.
Wow, such a great game. As an older person I really enjoy it when a past peak veteran beats up a youngster like was done in this game.
Brilliant. The Q sac was a positional sacrifice. Such confidence!
Levon is such a wonderfully entertaining player. Happy to see him flashing his skills.
Epic Levon game!
That dark-square bishop was a star, keeping an eye on the pawns and the rook
Bro decided to do a disrespect speedrun in the middle of the GCT

Baš lijepa partija. Užitak je gledati kako figure mogu biti usklađene protiv dame i graditi pobjedničku poziciju.
Astonishing play by Levon - that delayed castling was magic.
Deeply satisfying.
The tale of a sad queen, a Levon Masterpiece.
This was a masterclass, pure talent from Levon
Levon is a monster at times. One of my favorite players
An artist indeed!

Reminds me of that Magnus game vs Anish. Both breath taking plays.
Also game 6 of carlsen vs nepomniachtchi given the ending
Without preparations!! 🤯
Excellent
From the thumbnail, I thought you are showing the game from black's perspective and the white king is castled on the king side haha. Insane stuff
Ding enjoyed this one too
One of the best games I've seen
Good game choice Agad
Kinda happy to SEE that Even strong players with time and good positions can also throw games
Levon playing a boring snoozefest game challenge: impossible
Thanks!
This is one of the most craziest endings I have seen. Levon literally had almost all of Gukesh’s pieces paralyzed once the slaughter started.
Indeed ! Great win !
Hey man, great stuff as always.
Very impressive game by Levon.
That's why Levon is my favourite chess player.
Condolences to the 🐐 Magnus I'm sure your mother was extremely proud of you and may she rest well.
Really cool and controlled play by Levon. I would be scared s..tless :-)
Incredible play from Levon 🥰
The above statement by Garry made me proud(although I am an Indian but I completely back the statement)
Incredible play by Levon here!
This is an art by Levon.
Levon can bring any top Super GM back to Earth! reality check!
This added to my fav❤
Fantastic.
You're telling me that my queen blunder today is a brilliant game played by Levon Aronian?! What a day to be alive😅
"Let´s play chess" What a comment 👏👏👏
one of nicest if not the nicest game of 2024
Hoping Magnus will pull through and remain in top form. It is a tough break at a young age. Wishing all the best for him.
Brilliant Levon game!
Genius by Levon
Levon schooled the young gen with no queen 😅

That was art.
great game!
There are only two players that make me like an agadmator video even before watching it: Dubov and Aronian.
he didn't just get a pawn to the other side, he escorted it there with a motorcade of untouchable pieces
The difference between:
Gm´s playing "something, something something"
Agad is playing "something, something, something"
Me playing "something, something, something"
Feel free to pause the comment and try to find the diffrence while i´ll give you a couple somethings.
Without further ado, and i know everyone found it. When i play "something, something" it doesn´t work 🤷♂☺
'Blundering it away' is something i always do
This was a beautiful game. 👍👍
Gukesh in classical - 🗿
Gukesh in other time formats - 🤡
Satisfied game 😌
Wow Levon what a masterpiece
Exactly, let's play chess. I'm totally amazed at it too because somehow I figure Gukesh would have stayed neck and neck to a draw. Yeah that was pretty incredible
Brother Agadmator, at the time of typing this, the game in your video is Aronian-Gukesh, but the notation in your video description is for Gukesh-Caruana. Do you happen to have the notation for Aronian-Gukesh?
What an incredible game
Levon showing levels to the new guys 😎
Brought tears to my eyes the hell was that game😭😭
Come on Levon... lets play chess from agad ,made my day. World challengers need these madicines, hah
This reminds of how Tal does it. He makes it feel like he sacrificed a pawn, not a queen.
The oldest question in history. "How did he do that?"
