I love the benko gambit. One of your videos awhile back introduced me to it and now I play it every chance I get. Won some nice games against higher rated opponents with it.
@@RonaldYengwayo maybe but times are different and it’s always unfair to compare one situation to the other, for better or worse. It should suffice to say that Firouzja and Dubov are at least progressing faster in this climate than their older counterparts, possibly taking more notes on the lessons of great engines and theory, and if they continue on this path may be stronger at least due to sheer youth. Dubov may only be 5 years younger than Carlson, but firouzja is 13 years younger. He and praganandha have some of the best prospects. Cheers.
7:12 Was there Qd2 offering Queen trade or force win of exchange? That seems like a draw in that case. Am I missing something? Rc3 is the only move I can see for black to prevent trade, but it hardly looks inspiring.
Just me thinking that Alireza is the strongest opponent for Mangus? He's still a kid and always gives Magnus biggest problems. This guy will be a World Champion pretty soon.
He's given all the top players good games, but he's also been beaten pretty badly by both Caruana and Carlsen in classical relatively recently. Time will tell if he can sustain his improvement. The talent is there though, same with a few others as well.
perhaps in blitz occasionally, but alireza is not consistently near magnus' level. he still gets crushed often. take this tournament, he didnt even survive the prelims. he is a great talent but still has a long way to go before he is on the level of caruana, nepo, ding, etc.
What a fun game. As usual, I found the winning move but not the bishop move that makes the mating net :-) Poor Hikaru, constantly trying for a queen trade to defuse the attack but Alireza makes no mistake and doesn't let him wriggle out of a losing position. Blundering one pawn apparently cost the game.
This is why the Benko is such a good opening to equalize with black. If white accepts the gambit, you actually get more compensation on the queenside than if white just declines it.
@@RonaldYengwayo yes, I wasn't paying attention to the format of the last section of the tournament. (If I was I'd have predicted Nepo vs Nakamura, but would guess it wrong again. Hehe)
The tiebreak system - nepo and aronian both ended up with 8 points but nepo had beaten aronian in round 9 , so nepo won the head to head tiebreak against levon and he qualified

A lot of this year was rapid/blitz oriented, which are not fabi's strengths. He did not perform well in Tata steel and Candidates was unfortunate for him. Maybe these reasons are why you "haven't hear" of him. BUT, make no mistake, Fabi is a preparation god and it shows in this tournament (a rapid tournament no less).
@@brawnstein i have heard of him. But the reason you pointed out sure seems to be the reason he isn't talked about much. Since he's not been much involved in the rapid/blitz format

I'm a fan of hikaru but when it comes to tournament, hikaru mostly loses. I think hes fast in calculating moves is not good enough.. again I really love Hikaru!

He straight up bullied him that entire game. What a monster
He slowly strangled him like an anaconda, lol. Brutal stuff.
Yes. I’ve never seen Nakamura get chased around like that before.
A monster that didn't get out of the prelims lol
6:54 Alireza's Queen is so powerful she can give check through pieces.
we missed game between daniel dubov and alireza which was spectacular

I enjoy when agadmator shakes the pieces for emphasis. 😘
This was like watching a man drown in quicksand.
6:00 this bishop is now a pawn 😂
I always like a Firouzja win!
Alireza is becoming the most exciting player in the world right now. I’m very happy that technology allows us to see his career unfold in real time.
Such a great game. As resilient as Hikaru is, he was fighting the whole time but it’s hard to see a moment where Alireza didn’t have the initiative
Those queen maneuvers were just beautiful
... _and_ how does Agadmator feel about Black's ...b5? Is it _almost_ as good as White's b4?
Such a perfectly vicious game with the black pieces by Master Firouzja 🤤🤤

I’m proud as an Iranian
Seeing Alireza destroying top grandmasters🤙🏽
He doesn’t represent iran though and he wants to change his nationality just saying 😅😅

"You may lear much more from a game you lose than from a game you win." Poor Magnus, he doesn't learn a lot in classical time format.
Complete Sorcery by Firouja.. Operated Hikaru with his wand..
Everyone can promote to a queen. But only Hikaru can degrade to a pawn.
Lmao Hikaru is trash
Not long time since that Ding was considered the upcoming number 2 in the world...
The whole game for Hikaru was like "so, what do you do here?"
Fairoza plays rear games with taste of fun and danger
Amazing game from Firouzja!
🎯
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, Firouzja is a future world champion & has potential to be better than Magnus
Thats a stretch.

That doesn't work because black has
Qxb5 and after white captures black's rook his rook falls as well

He still needs time, he got humbled several times by top GMs
Nepo has best chance of winning in classical format against Magnus.

i wonder where the guy that comments that alireza is 'just lucky and doesnt deserve his rating' is now
Amazing I have no words to say
At 8:33 couldn’t you play bishop takes on G3 to win the queen?
yes you win the queen for a bishop and a rook, and while that would still be completely winning, why not win the game on the spot by checkmate.
Very good point! Thanks for the reply
@6:59, how is queen to A3 check?
6:55 Qa3+?
6:56 “Qa3, check”
I don't see a US flag by Aronian's name. Didn't he switch over to representing the US earlier this year?
He hasn't switched yet - the process is a lengthy one.
There’s two space bars before the “A” in the title and this makes me irrationally disturbed
I am watching this 11 minutes late , but I know by the time I watch this Agad will post Magnus vs Nakamura
And he did
Good Hikaru didn't played b4 otherwise it would be another reason that agad showed this game.
a6 pawn be like: Either let me go to the a8 sqr. or capture me...😅
What a fun game. As usual, I found the winning move but not the bishop move that makes the mating net :-) Poor Hikaru, constantly trying for a queen trade to defuse the attack but Alireza makes no mistake and doesn't let him wriggle out of a losing position. Blundering one pawn apparently cost the game.
I find it interesting that White never found time to play h3-h4 despite having no sensible plan for improving his pieces :-O
Agadmator, what is this 2992??
This is why the Benko is such a good opening to equalize with black. If white accepts the gambit, you actually get more compensation on the queenside than if white just declines it.
05:17 and now Hikaru literally doesn’t care about any discoveries from the knight or the bishop
Here comes the copyright strike
Keep it up Alireza love from Iran
This game is a great example of why I do not enjoy the white side of the Benko.
As an iranain i admire alireza
He could play for our country but politics and politicians forced him leave iran
It's better for him as he will mature more and up his gameplay outside Iran
game between daniel dubov and alireja missed by agad
6:56 Queen to A3 check?
Passing a bad check will bounce.
#suggestion Anish vs Alireza
Nice 👍
we missed game between daniel dubov and alireza which was spectacular
Why don’t you play black queen to 1d at 7:37?
To not allow any back rank checks.....but in the next move itself Hikaru eliminated that possibility
I predict Nakamura vs Caruana for this final, but I'm actually rooting for Caruana vs Carlsen!
Caruana is not a formidable Rapid and Blitz player (MVL, So, Nakamura, Radjabov and Carlsen are the big dogs in Rapid & Blitz)
@@RonaldYengwayo yes, I wasn't paying attention to the format of the last section of the tournament.
(If I was I'd have predicted Nepo vs Nakamura, but would guess it wrong again. Hehe)
Unfortunately Alireza didn't qualify but what a true fighter!👏🙌
That Queen blunder he had cost him
we missed game between daniel dubov and alireza which was spectacular
Can anyone explain to me why Aronian didn't qualify while Nepo did, even though they have the same score?
The tiebreak system - nepo and aronian both ended up with 8 points but nepo had beaten aronian in round 9 , so nepo won the head to head tiebreak against levon and he qualified
@@chessplayer9125 so they played one more game, right?
@@imbestialito-artofwar3410 No, they did not. They did play earlier against each other and Nepo won so Nepo qualified. It is as simple as that
@@huekeks2231 tks
Could you please show more games of Dubov or magnus👀

At 8:03 is that a blundered bishop ?
queen defends
No, if Rxf1 then Qxa1 RxA1 and BxA1!!!
I hope fabiano gets his revenge against ian as he was close in the candidates but lost cause of anish
Fabi was far from close.
@@RonaldYengwayo still he could have made it if he beat anish and nepo
So wat do u play here?
6:55 “queen to A3 check” yo??????
Alireza🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷❤👑🔥
Man alireza looks like he improved alot slowley and steadley he swallow hikaru
Love the Benko Gambit. Nice game.
Alireza has become Nakamura's Boogeyman. Simple as that!
After long long time i saw benko gambit
Black had all the open lines of play, while White seems to be stuck in a maze. ...from Ireland.
I'm fairly new to chess. So idk but i never really hear persons talking about Caruana even he's so strong.. odd
yeah, but there are a lot of strong players like him. The only ones I was constantly hearing before was Carlsen, Hikaru and Kasparov haha
A lot of this year was rapid/blitz oriented, which are not fabi's strengths. He did not perform well in Tata steel and Candidates was unfortunate for him. Maybe these reasons are why you "haven't hear" of him.

@@bobnoob1467 not really he`s been the world number 2 for like the past 5+ years with a peak rating close to 2850
We do talk about him. Btw, people is plural for person.
@@brawnstein i have heard of him. But the reason you pointed out sure seems to be the reason he isn't talked about much. Since he's not been much involved in the rapid/blitz format
Another gambit in the b file makes Agad very happy
The a6 pawn just wanted to die. It couldn't stand all the suspense
6:55 QA3 check
Awesome game from black...
Talk! Talk! Talk!
Qa3 check??!🤔🤫
Ding continues to exist below everyone else.
Let me guess, he had to wake up early.
Who win?
No rest for the wicked :D
I was watching this game live I thought Alireza missed taking free paw on b3 at 5:30

A very important game
Damn Firouzja is a scary dude
My prediction
1st rank : Anish giri
2nd rank : Fabiano Caruana
3rd Rank : Magnus Carlson
Nice game by Alireza
I don't understand how Hikaru can do so bad sometimes and others so good, why isn't he more consistent
Firozja is better then him, that's why 😃
giri vs wesley final i reckon
The last four to qualify were the top four!

It's a lovely game, especially if you love Alireza and don't love Hikaru. Maybe it didn't mean so much to Hikaru,
You must rarely feel satisfaction then....
