These are great chess players, but it needs to be said how impressive your breakdowns always are too. You know your stuff! Bravo and keep up the good work!
In this case I did find b4, but obviously not calculated to the depth shown. Just the two rooks diagonally to each other is always a good situation to attack. I wonder why Magnus missed it.
Only the second time I found a move Agad paused for, but yeah, I spotted it. Trade the pawn for the rook plus check and probably black's last pawn. Definitely a good move.
both players were extremely precise in that endgame. it’s unfortunate he missed the completely winning Qb4 move, because up to that point magnus was really outplaying teymor in what was supposed to be a drawn endgame
probably because the knight is a better piece there, I’m assuming magnus thought keeping the knight was worth more than a damaged structure. Don’t trust me on it, I’m pretty bad at chess
@@darrenlang1111 thank you for your kind answer... could be, but actually that knight in almost all position has to capture the bishop in b6 ( so the queen can move, even if the queen has to guard the knight), and in fact after some moves it happens the capture. So it seems you have doubled your pawns, for no reasons, but of course Magnus knows what he was doing, I was just curious if there was a practic motivation
It took until the last two minutes of the video for me to have the realization: "He's actually going to do it. He's going snatch the draw from the jaws of defeat."
The only which keeps me excited before sleeping is which game will I get to watch on ur channel.....never stop making these videos....if possible even teach ur kid to make such videos
2:54 why not Nxd6 first before recapturing the bishop on f3 if he didnt want to mess up the pawn structure? Nxd6 comes with an attack on the queen. Im guessing Carlsen was trying to open up the g file deliberately, planning to have his rooks there to attack black king
0:40 "..and Magnus says: we're not gonna trade anything, just d3, we're playing a game" *continues to trade the bishop for the knight on the very next move*
Amazing & dramatic game played until the bitter end. I very much liked Agad’s comment after a pause to find a move that Carlsen missed; “a move that of course you all found…”. Yes, of course we did … // Great video, as always.
Thank you for the great video. It seems that it's so easy for Magnus to get a dominant position in the middlegame. I've seen it to happen so many times.
Then qb6 and if black king try to capture the pawn on f4 then qc7 another check and both pawns are well protected after that while king move up to protect the pawn on f4 so he can start pushing the pawn.
Not sure how much time raja had on his clock, I am guessing less than 10 seconds. Else 2 rooks for a queen with open king is easy win..since white can't take any of the rook and it can't stay on 8th, 7th rank and can't remain anywhere near the black king, next move he can't give a check that means black can start checking white king ...it's a hard meal with less time on clock .
At 15:15 play queen to g8 and teymor will capture either the queen or the rook resulting in a winning end game for white. Teymore won’t spot rook behind pawn, he’s too low on time lol
#suggestion Stevic, Hrvoje vs. Zivkovic Vjekoslav is a nice tactical game that is being played today [3 Oct] in the 1st Croatian League A. Tactics begin when Black elects to play 18...gxf5 instead of Bxf5.
At 15:14, if white plays queen to G7, pressuring root at E5, you say that black responds with root to F5 and he will take the pawn at F7. However, if white pusses the pawn to F8 (becoming a second queen), the black king is in check from the queen at G7. White wins, with two queens against two roots. Or not?
I wonder whether Magnus threw away his winning chances around 8:00 when, by pushing a pawn, he enabled Black to trade a knight for White's bishop. We all know that in the end-game a bishop is worth more than a knight. I just wonder if he could've done something that kept his bishop on the board instead of forcing himself to trade it off. Thoughts?
The relative value of a Bishop vs Knight depends on a myriad of factors. It's too much of a generalization and not always accurate to say a Bishop is worth more than the knight in the endgame. I believe in this particular position the pieces were equal but I also think this trade helped Rajabov because it simplified the position somewhat and he was the one who was low on time. Had the trade not occurred and the position remained more complicated, Rajabov would have been more likely to blunder under time pressure.

Fischer liked having a queen against 2 rooks when the position favored the queen. He won quite a few games that way.

Specially for "agadmator thumbnails and titles have separate fan base" 😉😃
