@@ndnd7614 true, he should have at least drawn but at the same time if we see he is not playing best moves. He is kind of resisting himself from playing best moves.., may be don't want to show preparation. Let's see how he plays candidates.
What I like is how Agad casually inserts that line into any video where its played but not in a way that tries to be funny. This means that only true initiates get this ^^
Do chess grandmasters know that "its was at this moment a completely new game " ? Do they immediately know that they are facing a new game ? for example at this game at move 11
At this level, and in classical, I'd say white usually knows, as they prepare their lines based on these huge databases. Giri is considered the best (or among the best) GM in preparations, so he's almost always aware. To black is normally harder, as there is not much space to propose stuff at the begigning of the game. They have studied tons of lines, and know when something is unusual or rare, but I imagine not necessarilly to the point of "never been played before".
Hello Agad. If you have not already, can you feature the crazy game between John Nunn and Igor Nataf played in 1999? It is one of the greatest king hunts I have ever seen. Thanks!
No, I don't enjoy the "pause the video" moment, because I hardly ever (maybe 5% of the time) can guess the correct move. It's humbling and discouraging!
can someone explain me, on "12.h3 Ne7 13.Bf1 c6", at this moment, he said not to exchange the bishop, as white bishop is awesome, but then tucking it on the backrank. Is that bishop still awesome ? (if yes, how?)
Lol but more seriously, it's a pity Anish is not a candidate, I like Radjabov but the difference of level in classical speaks for itself... (Karkajin also a beast, but it doesn't seem as he is going to play)
I wouldn't call Karjakin a beast. He qualified in the candidates one time and lost in classical to Magnus, when almost every year after the classical portion was all draws with the exception of Nepomniachtchi.
@@dstreetz91 Are you okay bro? Fabi was the only guy who drew all the games against Carlsen. He faced Vishy twice whom he defeated in the Classical section itself. Karjakin was the closest to winning among all the 3 challengers Carlsen faced and was the last person to beat Carlsen in a WC match.
Radja went 4/14 in 2013’s Candidates. He is now 1/5 in the Classical portion of Norway Chess. I’m not sure what to expect from Radjabov in the Candidates anymore, I hope it won’t be worse than his 2013 performance.
@@P.sherman45 Unless I’m missing your sarcasm here, hiding his prep by losing is certainly an “interesting” move. There are ways to not show preparation without losing, btw. That said, Fabi did have a terrible Tata Steel in 2018 before winning the candidates. I guess you could say he was also “hiding prep” back then. We shall see.
2013’s Candidates had interstellar line-up, and I would be far from interpreting it as bad performance. But, nevertheless, I don't think he has will to win nowadays.
In this tournament, he is testing the other players, their preparations and lines. In an interview he said that he had to play the last elite tournament before the candidates just to see how different things has become in the other players' strategies
I say again the c6 knight should be allowed too stay on the board against the Berlin because the e pawn still can't be captured by back for the the same reason it can't be captured against Morphs defense
I think radjabov is not preparing well for this tournament.So, he is loosing now. But he is naturally best player for ever... 😎😎😎 Good luck to "radjabov" for next matches... 👍👍👍
'' Anish goes for b4, that's a move you can make at pretty much any position and it will always be a good move '' Agadmator

@@luisangel.mp3 🤣🤣🤣
Giri airlifted his pieces through the Berlin Defense.
I appreciate this historical meme.
4:57 I can never tell if agadmator is trolling when he talks about b4 because he likes the Evan's Gambit or if he is serious
He's joking.
He is seriously serious.
I feel radjabov is not playing his preparation, he is just trying to prepare his mind for the candidate.
he lost 3 classical games, he is out of shape
@@ndnd7614 true, he should have at least drawn but at the same time if we see he is not playing best moves. He is kind of resisting himself from playing best moves.., may be don't want to show preparation.
Let's see how he plays candidates.
1:17 basically me trying to explain my homework
Rajabov is maybe testing ideas? Or just a weak tournament?
This was a quick, precise and easy kill. Next game please....
He shouldn’t even be a candidate pathetic
ya c6 is a slight inaccuracy but in this time format it might be a positional blunder....
10:40 „a difficult position to play positionally“ words of wisdom once again from Agadmator
If you want to win more, play B4. Radjabov needs to pick up his game or he will get routed in the Candidates.
What I like is how Agad casually inserts that line into any video where its played but not in a way that tries to be funny. This means that only true initiates get this ^^
Ah, yes, BUT you have to play it with the correct timing. That turns out to be something only Magnus or Stockfish can do. Sorry about that :)
@@DieFlabbergast disagree. B4 is a good move in any situation regardless of the position. This has been shown to be the case many times.
Honestly, really bad opening by Rajabov. Anish really punished him.
It's Radjabov, not Rajabov
@@rohitsaha9317 he lost, it's Rajabov now
@@thesavantart8480 XDDDDD he lost the D
probably a move order mistake, the best line was 5...0-0 6.0-0 and then d6
Nice game by Giri

Pretty sure they do esp with all the engines available.

@@Lotarious I'd say Fabi considered the most prepared
9:40 what if black plays Ng6? How do you deliver checkmate? Because if Rc8, just Nf4
Check by the knight at g5 black has to capture, Qxg6 then Rc8

Nice video as always! 🤗
Berlin games are so slow but eventually great
10:20 After c6 lichess says +1.4
radjabov doesn't deserve a place in the candidates. wiesly so is much better than him
exactly But who knows maybe radjabov is hiding his true intentions
I like how your dog goes in to a passive position after you comment it before 08:00 in the game lol 😅

Anand is a true legend cmon bro 53 y old
I agree but what does this have to do with the video 😭😭

He means that is these lines of the Berlin the bishop is normally a very useful piece and that it is never to “tuck it” and activate it later.
At the end cant you move knight on f4 to g6 to protect against checkmate with the queen
Radjabov lost in the Berlin - he has no chance in the Candidates.
1:50 it was right before you corrected yourself lol
Crazy matches that’s for sure
The biggest plot of the game was that Anish was white and Raja played Berlin from black knowing the fact that anish is drawish giri 😛
😂

Rajabov does not seem in it
7:41 it was in this position that Medo took this radical move.
Great catch!
A nice prophylactic move
@@P.sherman45 This is the dog channel.
The chess is just a nice extra.
This was a whooping
AlgorithmFood!
The white bishop wasn't exchanged early in order to be hidden and be exchanged with the same bishop several moves later.
Lmao thats what I thought.
But that exchange won white an extremely important tempo when moving the queen, so the bishop's power wasn't squandered.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 chess is always about timing! Moves A and B is not the same as moves B and A on chess.
he resigned 😑
you should use other pieces also..just for a change :))

d6 was inaccurate
Who wants to see AGADMATOR in candidates? Hit a like!
We need him as the world champion
I say again the c6 knight should be allowed too stay on the board against the Berlin because the e pawn still can't be captured by back for the the same reason it can't be captured against Morphs defense
Any link or source you can recommend to check about that?
I think radjabov is not preparing well for this tournament.So, he is loosing now. But he is naturally best player for ever...
😎😎😎
Good luck to "radjabov" for next matches...

Radjabokep Going Nuts!
Lose 3 time in a row 😂
😂
he is not a fool to expose his candidates preparation ..
No audio??
you deaf ?
🌞🌝☀️
I dont think Radja will pose any problem to any candidates. He is playing sub per than any other candidate.
He is testing the other players in this tournament by taking a lot of risks. Losing is not that important for him here.
Agadmator is a hustler, always posting consistently
