props to vladisev. He could have had an easy win, but he chose to wait and played a fair game and lost fairly. Insane sportsmanship edit: what is happening, i came back after 2 months and a war is happening in the reply section
clearly not, this is the world blitz championship which means the greatest player all around the world gathered here so i doubt they would take 1 whole min to make 1 move on the OPENING which is the simplest part of chess
The sportsmanship makes sense for Kovalev even from a selfish perspective. He had a rare opportunity to face the most famous and talented chess player on the planet. If he managed to win, imagine his accomplishment being undercut by the notion that he only won due to a late start.
@@paulybeefs8588 its not uncommon for players to allow tardiness of an opponent to penalize them, Spassky accepted a win from Fischer's failure to show. First Kovalev didn't start the clocks, on purpose, and wouldn't have but for the Official, then clearly runs off the time to make the play fair. IMO, if a fair viewing of the elements shows honorable action, good sportsmanship, a refusal to take advantage of another even if it's legal, THAT is the only fair conclusion to hold.
I don't think it was a show of confidence when Magnus took a few seconds to adjust his pieces. It was code for "I see what you are doing with the clock, brother, and from here on we can continue with the time we have. You have my gratitude for creating an even playing field." In other words, he said thanks.
Not knowing anything about chess warfare, id have to agree. If your intentionally wasting time to help your opponent, seeing your opponent waste his own time is like saying "we are even".
@@ethanfreeman1106 oh, for sure. I don't even play chess, don't really know more than the basic strategy, but I got pulled into a game anyway. What I proceeded to do I can only describe as trolling, since, lacking a coherent plan, I just presented him with as many and as complex decisions as I could dream up,hoping to trip him up. Ultimately I lost, but he congratulated me afterwards on being throughly annoying to try to beat.
@@udelbiawak4405 Poor excuse. Come earlier then. If a person has a job that starts at a certain time can they just be late repeatedly because traffic? or weather? Disrespectful and for someone that can plan ahead playing chess that well, he should be able to plan ahead well enough to be on time.
@@audioman81 So what you're saying is that Carlsen should be able to foresee traffic because he can forsee limited moves in a chess game where pros most certainly always play the same way? Ridiculous.
@@linuswolter2892 I'm saying he should leave earlier and plan ahead for chance of traffic in a big city just like the guys he always plays against that somehow make it to the table on time unlike him. Many places have traffic reports as well. Is he not smart enough to use them and check? Seems he's late to almost every match I see a video of him in.
Oh he absolutely was wasting time on purpose. He's a strong grandmaster, he already knows that opening theory. This is like the opening book moves of a chess program, they don't even think on those moves, they know them and play them automatically that early, even for human players. This is his objection to the arbiter starting the match when Magnus wasn't there. He wasted two minutes on his clock to make it a more standard match with no out-of-game factors giving one player a handicap. How many times in your life do you get to face Carlsen, the world champion, in a rated tournament game? Handicapping him literally wastes one of those few precious times you can actually fairly match wits with him when something is actually on the line for him. To not waste time on the clock is to deny yourself a golden opportunity to test your mettle against the absolute best.
Bro imagine writing all of this like an idiot without knowing the actual context, Magnus himself said there was a bad traffic that's why he arrived late
@@chadguts2815 I am aware of that. What you just said had nothing to do with his opponent's reaction to the lateness, which is the topic of my comment. Casually tossing around "idiot" without comprehending what you just read and making irrelevant comments is kinda hilarious though, so thanks for planting a pie on your own face for my amusement.
What's incredible is, after waiting for his opponent like a gentleman, the game turned out to be an incredibly engaging / close match anyway!!! Masters of their craft, these men are!!
Excellent job of conveying the action on the board to people who don't have the chess skills to keep up. Excellent job of keeping the excitement up and building to a climax. Excellent editing to allow time to comment without disrupting the flow. Truly top notch! Honestly one of the best chess videos I have seen. Partly a very exciting match, but mostly the presentation. 👏
I was watching that too. I think every time they press the button, they get 2-3 seconds added to the clock. That way they are rewarded for fast turns and can build up a bank of time when they really need to slow down and think about a hard turn
When Magnus was a teenager he played Garry Kasparov, who also showed up late. It seemed like a flex to me when Kasparov did it. I’m happy to entertain the idea (without evidence) that this was a flex by Magnus well as also a nod of respect back to Kasparov. But yes huge respect to Vladisev for responding in the best way he could of. Always better to lose a fair game then to lose a game you had a huge advantage.
The real flex was when he took time to realign his pieces while having 30 seconds left. A real way of saying "dude, I don't want your sportsmanship, let me handle this by myself"
@@CdFMasterVideo I think it was simple annoyance. If you've done something often enough it's supposed to look one way, now it looks slightly off. Adjusting your pieces on your opponent's time isn't allowed.
@@gauravomp how the hell is this supposed to be a joke? People say the most stupid shit nowadays and calls it a joke. Like am I supposed to read this comment and burst out laughing???
I don't think he necessarily did it for Carlsen. He might have done it to protect his own dignity. Because by using the opportunity to win by time he'd show he's afraid of facing a fair battle against Magnus.
AI-generated voice with a script that gets details wrong. Carlson wasn't adjusting his pieces as a show of bravado, he was doing it to signal to Kovalev that he didn't need to stall on his behalf any longer.
2:00 this is not true. Atleast there are indications magnus did things in this match he doesn’t normally do. After these moments, magnus will find ways to waste time such as adjust his own pieces needlessly multiple times. After one such occasions, Kovalev looks up at him to make sure he’s understanding which is essentially “thank for the gesture but I don’t need you to waste your time”. This has happened to magnus albeit as a child. Kasparov showed up slightly late to their match when magnus was 13. He showed no such “sportsmanship”. Victory is victory. Circumstances aside. Judging by what we’ve heard of magnus in terms of interviews, it stands to reason he might even be offended by the notion he’s owed time back through wasting by the opponent. For the sole reason look at how many comments discount the win bc of it. That’s exactly why.
Jesus fucking Christ, this is SIMPLY THE BEST narrative i have heard in my entire life. The narrator is more stoked about the game, than the players themselves.
I am super new to chess. Im learning. But i have a long way to go. I just noticed something here that i never paid attention to before. I know the vlock is ticking backwards taking time off. But i noticed several times that instead of continuing to count down it actually gave one person more time. For example the opponent was at 3 seconds left but when he hit the button it went up to like 6 seconds. Im just wondering do they get seconds added to their time if they make their move super fast? Thank you and sorry if this is a stupid question.
If I'm correct, since it does take time to click to button to stop the timer, an extra 2 seconds gets added to make up for it. Meaning if you make a move in less than a second, you get more time added
@@Yellowmankey hey, thank you yellowmankey. I was thinking it was something like that. I had never played chess in my life until a few months ago so I'm really just starting out. It's really just amazed me that there's infinite moves and solutions or just so many. I never realized it was such a complicated and intellectual game. Glad I found it now though. I really enjoy it. Haven't won a match yet but I will get there.
@@egroegartfart it's an increment, it's not always the case that the players get extra time when pressing the clock, the world championship, for example, requires the players to reach a set ammount of moves in order to obtain extra time, and then no further incriment.
So I'm guessing that when the timer goes down to seven seconds if you stop it within 7 because your turn is over and then you start your next turn it resets to seven seconds to get additional time
you should scroll back up and crush the subscribe button in 30 seconds

No thanks. The commentary was horrible.

I think thats dumb. Magnus humiliated vladisev by coming in late so why should he try to play a fair game? It was magnus choice to come in late smh
@@sametsahin-eh3qj are you sure? I dont think that's intentional for magnus to come in late.

Clearly it was on purpose and amazing sportmanship from Vladisev. Great guy!
"Vladisev"? There is no such name and the subtitles at 0:21 clearly say it's Vladislav. Why every comment calls him Vladisev?
Vladisev had a win, but he decided to be a good sportsman to make the game fair for Carlsen what a good guy

lol
i noticed that too lol
"To retire" is actually a valid synonym for resignation in this context.
yeah 🤣
means exactly the same thing
I don’t really know that much about chess but the fact that the time increased when they made a really fast turn drove me insane…

i like how he had to pause the game to speak because they were playing to fast
magnus hardcore clutching on increment
Was it just me, or was that the longest 4 seconds in history?
They got time back after each move, so moving quickly enough doesn't affect the clock.
basically they get reset back to 5 sec as long as they make a move within those 5 seconds
@Cole Parrish no they get +2 sec ig
They certainly were for that guy 😅
It's anime time, where 4 seconds lasts the whole episode
Best commentary ever. This really helps for the people who aren't that great at chess
This is the best and most thorough breakdown of this game that I have seen, props to the creator.
He was just telling us the moves that were made and not even giving variations or anything, this was shallow
Imagine getting the great honor to play against one of the greatest chess players of all time and he pulls this
This was cool right up until the end when youtube puts shit over the top of the video so that I can't see what's happening anymore.
Why would a person retire in the middle of a chess game
because the player thinks he would lose anyways
Taim good “the middle of a chess game” ?
That’s not even close to the middle. That’s full blown end game. Plus the fact he knows he has lost the game.

This felt like a Discovery channel documentary and I loved every second of it
The last 5 seconds of a chess match actually make the last 5 seconds of an NBA game seem short.
technically he was like 8mins late, or more. So technically, he should have lost on time
Magnus had time to think, for every second that Vladisev contemplated, Magnus was also deciding his next move as well.
Isn't this kinda how chess works
No shit lol
If possible please make more vids these are great. Ty
I don't think he necessarily did it for Carlsen. He might have done it to protect his own dignity. Because by using the opportunity to win by time he'd show he's afraid of facing a fair battle against Magnus.
The narrator is truly a craftsman to make me hyped during the whole damn thing. Bravo
my guy was on a time crunch and still straitened his pieces what a chad
It would be an honour to lose against magnus
Doesn't take too much skill to do so
But probably takes a decent amount of skill to get a game with him
@@silph5229or enough money donated on a stream Im guessing
Its an honor to lose to someone that has no respect to show up for his game, sure.
The person doing the voice-over makes this a lot more exciting
Excellent sportsmanship from both, carlsen didn't skip a handshake despite running out of time
Magnus still takes a second to shake his opponents hand
Gg Vladislav, showed both sportsmanship and superb skills ending in a close fight against the best
Sportsmanship and Chess go hand in hand.

Losing fairly is more honorable than winning to a technicality.

Is anyone noticing that the world champion you said was 2021 but when you look at the background it's said 2019 LOL .
"Kovalev resigns" not "Kovalev retires". He did not stop playing chess altogether, he just lost a blitz game and therefore he surremdered.

Great sportsmanship

Shows up with 30 seconds left. Proceeds to win. Refuses to elaborate. Leaves.
Action packed narration! Could just as well be narration of German tanks rolling into Poland.
GREAT ON the Sportsman ship!!!
Dude epic casting!
Subbed
And people say freeza’s 5 minutes was unrealistic
I don't even play chess but this is amazing to watch
You can castle a king?! Took me 36 years of casual play to learn that from a youtube video.

So I'm guessing that when the timer goes down to seven seconds if you stop it within 7 because your turn is over and then you start your next turn it resets to seven seconds to get additional time
the clock keeps going back
Am I the only one that thought this guy was just telling us the moves that were made and not giving anything deeper?
5:10 KOVALOV RETIRES 😂😂😂😂

thats the stuff you wished as a child you would do when you become older and get into such a situation

Magnus finished the game having more time than when it started.
Oh yea also lemme homie stock Hungrybox that seems like a good idea lmao
He resigned, he didn't retire
