Nepo's policy is, I will not become world champion and I will not allow other candidates to become world champion either.
🤣
😂
😂😂 There's a saying for this in Bengali which translates "neither will defecate, nor will leave the toilet"
Lol poor Ian. In all seriousness who do you think is gonna win the Candidates tournament this yr tho? My guess is Ian or Fabi but i hope for Pragg or Hikaru
More like if you fail, you go again until you succeed. I mean winning candidates twice (and losing the wc matches twice) is an achievement in its own and with Ding in poor form, you wouldn't want to rule out Ian as WC, unless a plot twist and Ding like Carlsen also abdicated his title and then maybe we see Nepo a three time WC candidate winner instead of WC.
Nepo to every candidate: *you shall not pass*
Nepo is like that mini boss that you have to face before you reach final boss.
Gonna choke in the finals again 😂
Imagine if when you lost to the mini boss that mini boss took your place to fight the boss instead lol
So true, and you know there's a possibly outcome that you might beat this boss if he's in a hurry😂
Then there's Ding, who lost to that miniboss (finishing 2nd in the last candidates) only to become the final boss himself 😂
The big boss is Magnus boy
"Any move you play here is a move" Agadmator, 2024
Nepo should start with an hour less. It's not fair for other players
lol
Hahaha
:DDDDD
Here comes Ian’s 3rd straight candidates win
Hope so, but let's not jinx it, just in case.
Sadly. Imagine he loses to Ding again, unlikely this time though. The best result for chess will be for Fabi to become world champion.
hope NOT 🤦
Way way too early to call
@@dalekerr5091 If Nepo wins candidates, Nepo deserves to play ad beat Ding.
The thing that's nuts about Ian in comparison to other classical greats is his speed. As we've seen in his matches title matches, he doesn't have the greatest peaks, but his floor is just so far above everyone else. Constantly puts people in time pressure.
It mostly works against everyone, except the speed king himself Carlsen.
That couldn't be further from the truth. Look at his games at Tata Steel just 2 months ago.
@@AizuddinYusoff Ian would lose to Anand even now. Hw's not even at Anand's level at this age.
@@sonnyjay1432Tbf Anand is the anomaly here. Man's playing top 10 chess at 54, no shame in losing to him
His speed also makes him make insane blunders sometimes.
One of the most analyzed lines and nepo finds poison............ Incredible stuff
No poison found. Visit trapped his rook like a total noob unfortunately :(
@@GrzegorzOklinskiyeah, such a rookie mistake from Vidit, he is so weak for not playing best move every move.
@@maxburmab7962 you totally misread my opinion
@@GrzegorzOklinski no, I didn't
@@maxburmab7962 sure sport.
The picture and handshake commentary is my favorite thing.
Nepo is always in beastly mode at candidates but cannot hold his nerves at world Championship 😢
Honestly I've followed Nepo's various candidate games and the moves made by the opponents follow the same pattern: completely drawn position with nothing happening, they over-push and bungle things, and then nepo wins. I mean who plays RB3 and traps their own rook? I'd say these games are much more opponents just being stupid and not being happy with a draw than nepo playing brilliantly and crushing things. I will credit nepo for his ability to play quickly but he plays mostly safe, fairly obvious moves. Its just that his opponents decide they need to play overly complex things and over push and then lose.
Or maybe he blitz moves until move 20 and opponents needs to think a lot ending with no time on the clock? But I'm sure you could do better than vidit 😂
@@sunburn74Well, that's how you win big things and big games, not by queen sacrifices and smothered mates. That's exactly how Magnus broke Nepo in that game 6 in Dubai. On this level, chess is mainly about nerves.
@MarioMartinazzi who said vidit is bad
I agree, Nepo is obviously strong but I don't think his play has been that great at the elite level, despite candidate showings. Same for Ding in a lot of ways, the WC just hasn't been all that interesting lately
Vishy saying that he does not see the merit of Nh3.
Now why would a former WCC say this??
Has he forgotten already that winning a chess game does not depend on making the absolute best move/s but it depends on making a move or moves that your opponent doesn't understand or at least understands it to the depth that you do. In simple terms, you've prepped this move deeply and your opponent is left to figure it out over the board which figure you a big advantage especially on the clock while he burns minutes calculating and you already know the possible replies.
Great video as always Agad! If you could add the clock times for the players it would be great. That way we can see if/when they were struggling with time pressure. Thanks! #suggestion
CFBR
The videos have been great for the candidates 2024!
Nepo's exhibiting peak Nepo form once again.
Enterprising and incisive. There's just nothing you can do when he's playing like this.
Nepo is the mini boss that you must beat to face the final boss (Ding), and if you win you then realize the real boss (Magnus) is yet to be defeated and you aren't considered the best.
Black self-traps the rook in the kind of 'pawn well' on b3.. I've never seen this idea works.
always happens to me
It's easier said than done..
This was my first video on your channel and felt its really instructive. I've been a serious chess player for 3 years now but I've only been watching Hikaru and Levy (just for fun I don't think his vids are instructive) Great Work man!
He actually makes it a point to give like an intermediate/advanced level of analysis on the channel instead of the other streamers just clownin
I dont like watching Levy cuz he just tries to make every chess game like a content creator. Agad's style is more instructive and you actually try to understand the game.
levy is insufferable. but again, I'm not his target audience 😊. i Love Agad's style.
Watch Daniel naroditsky. He is the greatest teacher on UA-cam
Levy only cares about his views and he operates like a greedy content creator .. Agad does what he thinks is best for the viewers giving an instructive and detailed analysis
I want to thank you for the coverage, I've followed every FIDE candidates and world championship through your channel since Caruana won, and your channel is probably the biggest reason I've become a reasonable chess player (nothing spicy, but I'm proud to be around 1800).
OMGGGG I'm waiting anxiously for your upload!! love u Agad
Jeez that was a brutal endgame
I hope Fabi prevails over Ian.
Even though he's lost the championship matches, Nepo always delivers clinical chess agains the rest of the contenders... Love this man's precision and outplaying in weird positions.
thanks agad!
agad comes out with these before the players are even done playing god bless
Hello Sir, please kindly share the fixtures for the whole tournament if possible.
Thank you in advance.
Nepo feels inevitable
Nepo is gonna win the candidates again, it's kinda his specialty.
On stream they said, in the last candidates since 2013, the player who scored 3 points after the 4th round always won the tournament with 2020 being the exception, where Nepo scored 2,5/4, but still won
Bishop C 6 was not hard to find, Vidith surely considered it. I'm surprised that he lost the game on this
I dont know why, but your videos are popping up for me since you're using the mix?
At 11:53, what's wrong with Nf6? Doesn't it solve all of Nepo's problems with the Bishop+Knight defenders regardless of how Vidit reacts?
Please do the Uruguay Immortal (Molinari - Cabral)
Go Nepo!!!!!!! We believe in you big man!!!!!!! My favorite player of all time.
Why is Nepo your favorite?
Coz he has win previous two @@alexalleman4756
Weird maneuver by Vidit with the rook. Voluntarily hiding it on b3, puzzling.
He is an yoga idiot and prep merchant
I think sometimes these super GMs get too inside their own heads and overthink things. Like, as a 1400-1500 myself, I can see visually trapping your own rook cannot be good!
If you're in time trouble and not sure what to do, I think it's better to make some move that improves the position, rather than thinking of a complex strategy. Like putting my rook on an open file or something.
@@soxnation1000 you're right
Some super GMs are idiots takes 20 min move where couple of moves are obvious
If you're taking 20 min to move as a GM in opening something is wrong with you 🤮
I was aghast when I saw him do it.... Seeing it again gives me ptsd.
How can you move your rook to b5. I mean not just because it got trapped. But the whole point of it was attacking the b2 pawn, but how would that work, Nepo had 2 idle rooks on his 1st rank. How can a single rook outpower them both.
Yup. Ian back to normal, dominating the candidates.
Nepo looking formidable. Perhaps he was stung into action by Magnus sceptical attitude towards his recent performances. Nepo seems to have superior abilities to calculate and remember lines, a real chess computer.
This was a most fascinating game. A game that should be studied for years to come.
Can we just take a minute to acknowledge Agadmator, Mr. Antonio Radic. Despite being an extremely impressive, powerful steed who for half a decade had UA-cam’s largest chess channel, never lost the humility, honestly, integrity and sheer love of chess that has made him so fun to watch. He is as responsible for the chess boom as just about everyone else. I, for one, am proud to been subbed to him since 2017, as well as having the opportunity to watch his channel grow and grow. Well done, sir🫡. Your actions should be commended.
As Agad said, Black plan on the Q side is too slow
I think I speak for majority of the masses when I say "We DO NOT Want Ding Liren vs. Ian Part 2"!
Speak for yourself
Nepo deserve world championship
Maybe during these days off, can you redo the Michal Krasenkow vs Hikaru Nakamura "Casino Royale"
#suggestions
That rook looks like it is in jail. Nepo has been playing the best in the candidates so far. However, he played great the last 2 times he became the WCC challenger, and then in the WCC games he changed his style and lost both times.
He did not change his style against Ding. He had Ding in positional and time trouble many times. But between those times, he mad enormous blunders
@@fangiscool1 Once he got the lead then he became super careful. When you play for a draw it doesn't take too many inaccuracies to lose.
Oh man, title shoulda clearly been: "Tearing down the Berlin Wall" (but maybe that would be a spoiler I guess). Great game! Thanks for the analysis as always
Vishy foresaw this he knew they will feel the heat some of these Indian prodigies are doing well..but would still be crushed.
#suggestion Vaishali vs Nurgyul she sacrificed twice
Nepo being Nepo
What.. Did Anand do commentary on this game :o ?
What does Nepo think about when his opponent is taking 35 minutes on a move?
Also, why do we only see "Good Nepo" at the Candidates but "Bad Nepo" in the Championships???
I request Agadmator sir to please upload ASAP. I am just waiting for your review first and then the others.
Even after watching the analysis, I don't fully understand the position 😂
So deep and so complicated! Thanks for the video
At 12:38 in your analysis Qxc6+ is better than Qe4, as it saves the pawn at least for the moment.
The Bobby Fischer quote might serve Kramnik well
Thanks!
#Suggestion menorca
Nepo - Eternal challenger
Imagine losing elo to random stuff between two candidates just to regain them.
Nepo out here looking to re-repeat.
@15:53 ba3 is winning for black ?
@9:16 Agad, you didn't mention that Rb3 is actually blunder!
Well it's not really a blunder. It was a reasonable idea. An inaccuracy perhaps.
Well , very unpredictable 😢😮😅
Why is there an extra pair of Queen pieces next to the board in all photos?
This is standard practice. It's in case a player promotes a pawn to a queen and their queen is still on the board. I've seen it where the arbiter has had to be called to bring a 3rd queen out after 2 pawns promoted.
Where's ding did he forfeit?
"Any move you play here is a move" - so true
Absolutely marvellous game
Nepo is the man to beat still , in the candidates
In terms of calculation, Nepo is superior than 99% of the opponents he faces
Suggestion# Vidit vs Fabiano Round 5 Candidates
Wow, only knew Nepo from his losing games against Magnus but against lower ranking players he's able to shine - his creative play and speed are devastating.
Review Magnus Nepo game 2, Nepo was winning with black (but couldn't find the continuation and drew)
Lower rated? Vidit is currently number 25 in the world
@@comeforthwithclips Yes, lower rated than Nepo
Weird rook maneuver by Vidit imo, turned a powerful piece into a liability.
Yeah it is double edged, he tried to defend by counterplay. Something like Rad8 would be more solid and natural
Commentators were actually impressed by original idea of the rook move
Bro just trapped his own room like that
Well thats the game bro.. he had a nice plan for that rook.. but nepo didnt let him execute it. So nepo wins..😮
Not all commentators have brains. I saw one Indian commentator predicting Vidit win well into this game 50% or more. I mean i appreciate support and everything but that's just blind.
I just watched Gotham coz you hadn't uploaded. I'm glad u did. I will watch while doing breakfast in a while. I don't usually watch Gotham. I am still urs agad.
Nothing against Levy, but Agad’s authenticity and genuine love for the game make him the goat chess channel. He’s a great entertainer too without being a tryhard.
@@schroederluck7984Levy's a bit of a clown, like no hate he chooses to be a clown to like attract a younger audience
@@starliaghtsz8400 You can't call someone a clown and claim no hate. You're already hating. Levy's style is catered towards younger audiences. Nothing's wrong with that. Both channels bring more audience to chess and it's great for all of us
Robert Ris has a great channel too. You may like to check it out. He also covered this game before Agad.
@@viorry1829, you can definitely call someone a “clown” without hate. It all depends on your opinions about clowns.
Knight F7 and then King e5
#suggestion,Salimova vs Humpy , it's great game.
What about f3 check?
Nepo reminding me how wrong i am to pick Fabi to win it all 😂, this man is unfazed
Nepo has very good chance to be world champion..Ding Liren is not in good form and it shouldn't be too difficuilt to beat him
Nice game
vidits rook lift looks disastrous??
Nepo is back in my good books - that was a clever game - very difficult.
The look is higher than the mountain , and the feet is taller than the road !
🔥🔥
Nepo in candidates is something else!
Of course you can find Nepo’s weaknesses, it’s Magnus 😂
Magnus has trained Nepo well in the endgame.
“Tactics is knowing what to do when there is something to do; strategy is knowing what to do when there is nothing to do.” - Savielly Tartakower
I am Indian But I root for Ian. he is someone so talented to not be a champion. to get qualified twice at the top of candidates speaks volumes. he is all set to do it third time
Only caruana can stop him. It is unfortunate if a 2800 rated player cannot win candidates. Nepo appears to be not under any kind of pressure. Only option for vidit now is to try to play good chess without caring about anything else. Things will go worse for vidit if he becomes nervous and frustrated. He should just play goof chess and does not think about anything else.
That was honestly a rookie move by Vidit to trap his own rook on the queenside like that.
No, Leko did not say he spend 5000 hours on one move. He said "in total, I have probably spent about 5000 hours analyzing the various possibilities of the Berlin"
From what I have seen so far, instead of abasov, pragg and vidit, I would prefer abdusatrov, dubov and anyone else instead of these 3. Literally every was surprised that he didn't capture the pawn. Nepo changed 10 faces when he saw that. Very cheap play.
They qualified because they play well. Tell Dubov and Nodirbrek that they play well.
It's not who you prefer. It's about who will actually qualify
@@redeyexxx1841 I am just saying "what if". I said what I would prefer, not what should happen. Read the comment guys, before you try to be smart.
@@agpaok0704 yes, I would prefer Kasparov, Karpov, Vishy over abdusatrov, dubov and anyone else. But sadly they didn't qualify.
@@agpaok0704 I get your sentiment probably because Dubov, Artimiev, Abdusattarov are kind of players that bloom and thrive in pressure situations but sadly they didn't make it through qualifications.
I mean we would literally all want Magnus too in this candidates but sadly he's not here either.
nothing against Nepo but not super excited seeing him in the WCC for a third time. Rather see new blood like Gukesh
Strong game from Nepo helped along by some bad moves from Vidit I don’t think many people felt Nepo was a favorite to win this years candidate but here he is leading a quarter way through
Nepo's only enemy is his ego, and of course Magnus who is above everyone.
This match gives Tien vs Nam vibes. Gg
"Any move you play here is a move." Agadmator
he also hit him with Nepo Stare while sipping his coffee😭
Notice how agadmator has his shirt fully buttoned up, 3 times. Obviously a sign Nepo is going to win a third straight.
who's Tom?
Many good moves played quickly in the candidates > a few moves played over an hour.
