I think this tournament perfectly shows how big of a talent Pragg is and how he lacks of experience when playing against these Super GMs. Next opponents will be Esipenko, Dubov and Fabiano. Really looking forward to!
Fans were suggesting that Praggo should have let Vidit win?? WTF, are they crazy?? Who roots for an outcome like that?? Give the young man his due for playing a fine match and getting the victory. Well done Praggo!!
This mentality comes from the 'land of the prejudices and discrimination.' But unfortunately, there are almost one billion of them. Yet, youngsters like Pragg will survive these atrocities!
Oh because they wanted to see Vidit vs. Magnus I get it. But never just let your opponent win, make them earn it, so both parties can learn something 💪🏾.
Moving his king in that triangle towards the end gained him 1:30 on his clock. Pragg needed those precious seconds since he was down to under 5 seconds for the moves leading up to that. Very stressful. 😳
@@divyanshsinghwal579, I don't know what you are talking about. At that moment, Pragg had only about 2 minutes on his clock, NOT 30 mins, while Vidith had almost 14 minutes. And I saw it live! After Pragg's zugzwang, Vidith even lost 12 minutes on his clock.
@@extraFart that's good. But in 2x you are sure to miss such remarkable comments like "Pragu's little brown rook up Vidit's open gfile" which though he didn't say in this video but might do so in future
7:44 Agad: What do you play here? Me: I have no idea. Agad: You could play rook to C1... Me: Yes! That's exactly what I would play! Agad: ...but then you get checkmated. Me: WTF.
I'm 22 minutes in and regardless of whether or not the game turns out to be a masterpiece, the commentary definitely is!! I'm on the edge of my seat here. Well done Agad!!!!!
Thank you for your commitment to making these videos, got me into chess around 2 years ago, been playing and watching your videos every day ever since then!
I am so spoiled from Carlsens perfect engine lines, 100% accuracy and crushing endgames that I caught myself almost thinking about these two great grandmasters as total amateurs and noobs haha. This was a great game regardless.
I can agree with you on this one. Not trying to drag these two super strong GM, but I believe Carlsen could have seen the winning moves. ( but we should understand time trouble and the stake they're playing for.)
30 minutes is long? Pfttt.. When you have Agadmator explaining, it only felt like 30 seconds. This is the good stuff. Always love your contents and keep it up Agad!!
Agad never fails to impress me with these analysis keep up thr good work bro, my elo was 700 when first started playing in nov 2021 and now its 1300 cuz of this.
Vidit went from a winning position to equal and then Praggu completely winning and than again close to being equal and finally Praggu being winning again which he converted, it was looking very unlikely that Praggu would even draw , how he managed to win was remarkable, very precise and not afraid to use his time
Hey Agadmator, it's time for a new overlay for your video's man. It's a classic but it looks really 2001 now hahah Much love man! Great video once again!
Tremendous game from young Praggu and at times it is difficult to remember that he is only 16. I can never remember a time when there were quite so many talented young players around. Esipenko is doing well in this tournament and is only 19, Alireza isn't even playing in this tournament and is still only 18, the two young Uzbeks, Abdusattorov (17) and Sindarov (16) have both done well in recent events, Keymer from Germany (17) has qualified for the FIDE Grand Prix, Erigaisi (18), also from India, is running away with the Challengers tournament at this event. And that list is probably not complete either. Definitely a generation to watch.
His videos r literally the bestt .... Well informative abt each line that could happen and that actually happened ... N also the reason n motive behind why each move was played .. just literally the bestttt
Agad I am an amateur and I would also like to see the eval bar. It helps me see instantly what the computer thinks. I have seen your reasoning as to why you do not post the the eval bar but I would ask you to reconsider. Thanks. -Dave in the USA
14:47 Doesn't Nb3 instead win the exchange here? That seems like an instant move. Maybe the exchange just isn't enough when you're down two pawns and the enemy king is near the center of the board.
A well-fought battle by young Praggu! Still much to learn, but really a bright future. #suggestion Fabi vs Rapport, a position that should not be a win, but time trouble makes it possible
I first one dont care about how long a video, although if I'm being honest, 30 minutes is a delight. You are here to entertain chess loving minds and help us forget how stupid and mundane life can seem. No apologies on video length and the more the merrier my good friend
Can anyone see that the discovery at 13:53 Rc4? Nb3+ wins? Or explain what I am not seeing? The K must move and then the rook is overloaded, QxR. Game over.
@@swapnil6080 Yes thank you. While you can miss a move in a blitz game or a rapid game when your time is low, there is no way you can miss this move in analysis, which instantly wins. And easy to spot.
I was hoping he would metion that, too. But after playing that exchange out white would have 5 pawns to 3 while the b6 pawn would be easily captured as well by giving a pass A pawn. So I guess, it wouldn't be the best exchange, but that's definitely what I would have done in my games lmao
this tourney exemplifies why I think Praggnanandhaa could very well win the world championship in the next decade or so. Not just the brilliant resiliency that he's displaying but from what he is bringing into the game as well
I think this tournament perfectly shows how big of a talent Pragg is and how he lacks of experience when playing against these Super GMs. Next opponents will be Esipenko, Dubov and Fabiano. Really looking forward to!
Pragg is still young but give him a few more years and see how much of a monster he’ll become.
@@pnucklemichaels2806 but he shuts the door for Vidit😓
Damn, what a fixture ahead, really looking forward to his game against Dubov
Not sure if he is very talented. Time will show. Will be very happy if he is talented. He is such a nice bloke
Pragg is going to be monster
Fans were suggesting that Praggo should have let Vidit win?? WTF, are they crazy?? Who roots for an outcome like that?? Give the young man his due for playing a fine match and getting the victory. Well done Praggo!!
What arseholes…
Who suggests that?? Fans!!!! Why you call them fans??

@@R4J4N wtf are you smoking ?
21:49 - "Regardless of whether you play white or black , b4 is always the move " 🙂 .
And Agad trying so hard not to laugh 😂😂
B4, that's the move
I love this long long running joke.
Moving his king in that triangle towards the end gained him 1:30 on his clock. Pragg needed those precious seconds since he was down to under 5 seconds for the moves leading up to that. Very stressful. 😳
It was about the tempe more than the clock. Pragg put Vidit in a beautiful zugzwang
Pragg finding it under tremendous time pressure shows his resourcefulness.
@@R4J4N having 30 mins isnt time trouble but yeah he did find many great moves

Absolutely. Can never get enough agadmator

This was a fantastic game by young prag..He will cherish this one for a long time and that king walk was Magnuson style end game. Brilliant young man…
Pragg is an extremely dangerous player. He took a line that had been exhaustively analysed by his opponent and threw it right back in his face.
And he didn't even play Ra8
Antonio, no cuts, no edits, just straight up masterpiece of chess replay
7:44 Agad: What do you play here?
Me: I have no idea.
Agad: You could play rook to C1...
Me: Yes! That's exactly what I would play!

Incredible game.
The complications in endgames are such an amazing feature of chess.
Not only Pragg and Vidit but Agad also rocked in this analysis. Great entertainment.
Great win Pragg!
Some Indians blind bias towards Vidit is hindering support for the fantastic Indian youngsters. 🙄
Dude no VD fans hate on pragg nihal and other young talents and they are always appreciated and supported
india seems to have a deep bench of young players
If Norwegian are biased towards Magnus, doesn't mean it henders Tari.
@@equal7958 vidit is nothing in front of Magnus ,even in India we don't expect him to finish in podium this tournament.
@@ayushmaurya1912 We do expect him to finish in the podium....
Speak for yourself
Pragg is the future! I always check his games.
Thank you for your commitment to making these videos, got me into chess around 2 years ago, been playing and watching your videos every day ever since then!
That's awesome! Agad come thru!
Love how Agad says Pragu
Superb game. My best game so far is Magnus v Pragg, but this is a close second. I'm very glad the players did not agree to a draw at move 16.
What about Magnus vs Shakh though…Magnus literally played EXACTLY like Sesse
what is the link to that game ?
Don't apologize for the 30 min video. This was exciting!
Chess is brutal and its said for a reason..... I dont think even vidit would like to win like that.
Prague has suffered undeer those tough GM's he's going to become a world champion one day
First! This game sets the record for the highest number of pause-the-video moments in the entire history of the Agadmator UA-cam channel! Maybe.
21:39 - So beautiful how the Knight leads the Queen to dance a half circle
Pretty crazy game .. Never throw a game, no mercy!
Praggnanandhaa is a monster in a making

@@abdulmuzaffaraladinbahaman7896 I mean rook to A8 was kind of obvious for a lot of time but when he got time control he really played like a pro
@@tujefaeslaroca3945Yup. There's no denying about that
Yeah Magnus' Catalan right now is the deadliest opening to face and I'm pretty sure the entire meta will focus on subduing it after this
For future reference, YES WE WANT THE HOUR LONG VIDEO!!!
10:10 "We guard this square and we don't really care"
Agad be droppin a rhyme like it ain't no crime
Good stuff... Every video you make is like a free chess class... Many thanks !
To long of a video? I would never complain about to much agad content 👍
TOO not TO
Grammar teacher@@azzteke
Great video and glad that you allowed a longer video for such a fighting match. Prago defiantly did the right thing to fight for the victory.
30 minutes is long? Pfttt.. When you have Agadmator explaining, it only felt like 30 seconds. This is the good stuff. Always love your contents and keep it up Agad!!
18:45 Agad got confused here. 3 times Ra8 was the best move and Pragga missed all 3. At move 40, Qa8 was the best and Pragga played that.
Agreed Agadmator. It's important to maintain the integrity of sport and the fighting spirit.
Agad never fails to impress me with these analysis keep up thr good work bro, my elo was 700 when first started playing in nov 2021 and now its 1300 cuz of this.
“Always play b4” is quickly becoming Agad’s version of “never play f6” lol
Vidit went from a winning position to equal and then Praggu completely winning and than again close to being equal and finally Praggu being winning again which he converted, it was looking very unlikely that Praggu would even draw , how he managed to win was remarkable, very precise and not afraid to use his time
prag... is a name i didnt know before this tourney. going to watch for him now
What a busy game. Really entertaining to watch 🤩🇧🇻
Praggnanandhaa stole my chess clock, and I want it back !!!

Great video once again!
13:50 black knight from c5 to b3 check and the white rook gets captured for free... and game over....!!
You could make a two hours long video just about the time scrambles in this round!

Incredible resilience from Pragu 💫
Nice, been waiting for this one! Thanks Agadmator!
Praggu is doing amazingly well considering he's the youngest in the Masters!

Excellent game with Excellent Agads Analysis and Commentry!!
I love how at 30:43 Medo perks up. Clearly he recognizes the outro as Antonio's attention is about to be available for him 🐶🤗
Wow Pragu really held it all together. Fantastic game!
Me: I don’t have time to watch a bloody 10 minutes orientation video.
Agad: drops a 30 minutes video
Me: but this is different 😅
B4, that’s the move
#suggestion Please do the Dubov-Grandelius match from today!! Unbelievable game!
Excellent work Pragg!
Also, this longer video is balanced out by the shorter one from earlier so it's all good.
What a fantastic game!!!!
what a game, so many traps
thanks agad for the consistent and insightful videos! i really enjoy how you analyse the games, i always spend a great moment watching :)
Kind regards from the city of Santa Monica, CA, USA! Let’s go Praggnanandhaa….
@agadmator, the comments are replied with a strange spam stuff. In the past it was not happening, is there any way to prevent it for the channel?
Was hoping praggu to win atleast one match. Good that he got a win soon after b2b losses.
Looking forward to his future domination of the chess world
I don’t even play chess, but that was a spectacular game!
Welcome to Agad’s House of Recaps. First hit of crack is free.
@@Headhunter_212 ha! To quote Oliver, “May I have some more.”
Fantastic game! Hoping also for the other crazy game of this round, Dubov vs Grandelius:) #suggestion :)

Fabi Vs Rapport
Agad: If you're not up to it, check it another time
Me: Why else am I here?
After a lot of misses Prag finally won...very good video,thanks...
When Pragg took his mask off his rating went up to over 9000
Both of them. Pride of India
It's a beautiful video. Please make such nice videos
Awesome job, Antonio👏
Yes! 👍 I was waiting for this one :)
Pure brilliancy by prago, innit? He remembered all his moves o.0 the little circles where fun. 🙂
From the thumbnails, Vidit plays the villainous son of the richest man in town, while Praggu plays the Slumdog millionaire protagonist.
Lol 😂
Great commentary Agad. Pragg games are always beautiful
Evaluation bar should have been on top of board for this video.
Agad I am an amateur and I would also like to see the eval bar. It helps me see instantly what the computer thinks. I have seen your reasoning as to why you do not post the the eval bar but I would ask you to reconsider. Thanks. -Dave in the USA
Bravo for covering this match.
14:47
Doesn't Nb3 instead win the exchange here? That seems like an instant move. Maybe the exchange just isn't enough when you're down two pawns and the enemy king is near the center of the board.
With perfect play, that's pretty much a draw offer. Keeping pieces on the board is always preferable if you can't guarantee a favorable endgame.
I was wondering the same thing.
It's a valid point and I definitely paused the video there. Not sure it is winning though as there's a 2 pawn advantage for white
it's not the exchange, but a whole piece
@@zagrebnesh1875 Nah. After all the captures, white's on the knight and it's white to move.
Wow. What a game - amazing endgame play.
Great game and great commentary as usual!!!
A well-fought battle by young Praggu! Still much to learn, but really a bright future.
#suggestion Fabi vs Rapport, a position that should not be a win, but time trouble makes it possible
13:50 36) --, knb3+ picking up the rook seems promising aswell

Nah, life is not that. Change your mindset, bro. It's extremely difficult though, I know.
The 2 most important squares in this game were A8 and of course B4 😃
Agadmators Very Nice Analysis..)
the Knight to c5, Rook to c4 pinning the Knight against the Queen is a blunder as Knight b3 check wins the exchange
at 13.44
13:55 isn't ...Nb3+,Kb2, Qxc4 good for black ?
Oh man love it and the battle.
#suggestion can you show Dubov Grandelius game???
You should add #suggestion for Agadmator to show Dubov vs Grandelius.
Absolutely spectacular match between praggu and vidit 💪🏼
Superb game.. Young pragg is extremely talented.

The K must move and then the rook is overloaded, QxR. Game over.
Yes I saw that too Nb3+ and white rook falls. Very long flawed game for sure
@@swapnil6080 Yes thank you. While you can miss a move in a blitz game or a rapid game when your time is low, there is no way you can miss this move in analysis, which instantly wins. And easy to spot.
13:44 why not Nb3+? That would have picked up the rook for the knight
I thought the same!

Nb3+ ,all trades and exchange win were not sufficient for a win because Prag was two pawns down.It's more likely to be a draw
Love this Karjakin quote from his tweet 😆
Karjakin needed a win, not sure why he's tweeting about his draw...
I would have never thought to play that triangle.
