@@stanleytime9193 are you devoid of the ability to grasp blatantly obvious things or are you just playing dumb? Classical chess IS boring to watch. Always has been. Always will be.

I think as a general idea it is good to teach new players that you should activate your minor pieces first. Of course, over time you will learn when it is acceptable to move your queen and when it is not.
@@deridivisstar884 Too bold. Now suddenly everyone thinks they can beat Magnus. Esipenko pulled off a upset showing that no one's immortal but if anyone is close to it RN it's magzy
If you are on top for that long you just need an occasional loss to not fall asleep and pay attention again. Although I have to say it didn't look that good for Carlsen around 9:40.
You can take knight with pawn, if he takes queen than you take bishop threatening his queen and than you take rook. So knight bishop and rook vs queen and pawn its white who is winning

@@leadnitrate2194 that's not what I'm saying at all. The najdorf is still really strong. What I'm saying is that at a certain point, using engines people could prepare more deeply against it and have more chances than before engines
I knew it! AGA would make a video about MC in REAL action! Everyone on youtube expected it too who saw and commented on the livestream. Its always great when MC wins, it makes me feel good!
First time watching Agadmator live! Basically the same experience though which is great, seeing as you do a great job of filming your videos in one take and keep it feeling real. Keep up the excellent work!
at 15:58 the live commentators were speculating whether instead of Rg8 Nils could have tried d3 - but they didnt fully analyse it. In a way d3 was the move Nils was clearly preparing for so it was a little suprising he didnt play it. It certainly looks promising. For example Rxg7+ Kh8 Rc7+ QxQ PxQ Rb2 - white should still be winning but at least black is more active and has an isolated e pawn to attack - or might be able to pick up white's h pawn
I was going to bed with ideas of sleep, seemed to be a winning position for me, but then agadmator played the best move uploading a video, now if I try to escape with ideas of watching it tomorrow, it will be difficult for me to recover from this, so instead, I made the best move and got comfortable to watch it in bed.
Gotta say, the premier feature isn’t good because if you don’t show up at the beginning and click after the video has started, you can have what happens spoiled. So you have to wait like 30 minutes before clicking on your videos now.
Agadmator, I really dislike the premium feature. It adds nothing to the stream, because the chat is being spammed by useless comments most of the time, and if I click on your video while premiering, I'll just be sent to a random part of the video because it's live. This ruins the video because sometimes I'll just join and I get straight sent to the final position and spoilers just ruin the experience.
I don't know about faster, but Agad's voice definitely seems slightly higher pitched these days. I was just watching some older videos of his from a few years ago, and the difference was immediately apparent. I think the change probably happened when he had his heart operation, in fact I have a vague memory of him saying he might sound different after the operation. It's certainly possible that he got faster, too, but I haven't personally noticed it.
@@ddkapps I doubt his heart operation has anything to do with it. I think it's all psychological as he seems way more cheerful and enthusiastic than years prior when appearing behind the camera.

i am convinced that all these grandmasters don't play the engines top moves just so they can hear agadmator say "it is as of move ... we have a completely new game"
At 21:22 is pawn to g5 not a better move potentially ? White goes into it with a king and pawn up,point being it practically forces a queen trade/makes it more favourable to white surely ? I'm probably missing something though 🥺😅
Love your videos! What could be a cool feature is if you displayed the time each player has below/above their name. I think it would be nice to see how long a player thought about a move before playing it
I am not a good chess player, but analyzing this position with the free engine on chess24 suggests that were white to threaten mate thusly, black drops the knight back to protect and then white will want to retreat his bishop of face his queen being attacked, driving the queen off the skewer, and losing the bishop. If white did drop the bishop back, white could just bring his knight back (repetition), so no advantage was gained.
because black would just move Ne8, defending the g7 threat and White has to move Bishop back as it's just exposed and unprotected there (if you don't move it, black will attack White's queen with it's own black bishop forcing the queen to fall back and then the White Bishop is dead and white is just losing) so it doesn't really accomplish anything other than a wasted move that gives up the tempo to black.
At 5:19, why wouldn't Magnus put his dark square bishop on h6? Threatening checkmate. If knight guards the pawn, then Magnus captures with the light square bishop. If pawn moves forward than Magnus can capture the rook
"[Nils] never had an actual shot in this game but he did have chances to play better moves" is my entire chess experience summed up in a nutshell

How the turn tables...

1:11 Crocodile Dundee impression!
In 21:44, after white goes for Kg6, it's a good idea (i think) that black goes for Qh8
How Magnus Carlsen bounces back:
Step 1: Establish dominance
Step 2: Establish more dominance
Step 3: Establish ultimate dominance
Step 4: Win

Can someone explain why Magnus didn’t bring black sq bishop to h6 instead of castling?
I am not a good chess player, but analyzing this position with the free engine on chess24 suggests that were white to threaten mate thusly, black drops the knight back to protect and then white will want to retreat his bishop of face his queen being attacked, driving the queen off the skewer, and losing the bishop. If white did drop the bishop back, white could just bring his knight back (repetition), so no advantage was gained.

so it doesn't really accomplish anything other than a wasted move that gives up the tempo to black.
6:10 "More firepower to the D file"
That loss woke him up
This is Sparta ! 😀 Magnus strikes back 😨
At 5:19, why wouldn't Magnus put his dark square bishop on h6? Threatening checkmate. If knight guards the pawn, then Magnus captures with the light square bishop. If pawn moves forward than Magnus can capture the rook
Nope, Ne8 defends.
