Love your vids agad, hope you had a lovely Christmas
Magnus continuing to watch Agad in the lounge to prepare the endgames, just too strong
Magnoose doesn't need a big mistake. He just needs several tiny tiny small inaccuracies to win and you would suddenly wonder “How and when did this happen?"
Me: Why did the queen cross the road?
You: Why? To congratulate Magnus.
my 3rd 3rd
Really great games coming out of FIDE World Rapid Championship 2023
My first first
I'm gay
Why doesn't he show the eval bar ?
Why would you ever ever offer Magnus a queen trade? He is the best end game player of all time. The only way to beat him is to keep your queen on the board.
what a monster
Agad update Magnus photo please
This was super crazy!! Another 4 knights game where it seems like it’s unpredictable who will win, however, with Magnus you know he will win every time!
truly beautiful game played among them

Vidit 😢
Lots of horsing around.
hi Agadmator, is there, by any chance, a way to find a game with the same position (not only opening) ? it could be nice to see that the specific endgame appeared in the past, even though the game is different
#suggestion Miaoyi Lu vs Oliwia Kiobasa and Parham Maghsoodloo vs Kacper Piorun
Magnus masterclass.
Playing Carlsen in an endgame must feel like being slowly strangled.
Position is equal, but your opponent is Magnus😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All positions are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Every title you have spoils the game, #suggestions
gg
What would happen after c5-b3
All four tricky bastards on the board at the end game 😮
2nd: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer
– Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer
– Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer
– Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe
Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'.
Speaking of Wesley So
Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend!
2023 USCC – Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech.
But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end.
move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle
it's so sharp

1 – imagine WESLEY SO, THE NEPHEW OF BOBBY FISCHER, wins the candidates and then beats liren and then becomes the 1st ever player to become both classical WFRCC & classical WCC
unlikely unless the candidates suddenly becomes
– classical 9LX
– classical armageddon w/ auction
– both of the above
– knockout (either single or double i guess) w/tiebreaker not rapid but classical armageddon w/ auction
it's still unlikely even if liren drops out and there's a 2nd place thing again. but still a fun thought lol.
1.1
Actually another fun thought is Liren drops out and then Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi in both 2024 WFRCC finals if it's classical and 2024 classical wcc. Then people will start to see this is a better rivalry than Hikaru Vs Magnus in rapid chess or rapid 9LX. (I don't necessarily agree with them but Hikaru Vs Magnus has a Wikipedia page. So please don't comment anything like 'Magnus owns Hikaru' or whatever. The point isn't to compare Magnus w/ Hikaru or Nepo w/ Wesley. The point is that Magnus & Hikaru are on the same side 'allies of evil' just as Nepo & Wesley are on the same side 'axis of evil'.)
2
besides as far h uncle bobby is concerned.
2a – wesley has nothing to prove in regular chess anymore
2b – wesley has nothing to prove in rapid 9LX
2c – wesley has something to prove in classical 9LX if it's next gen. imagine hans vs wesley in 2024 classical WFRCC finals. it's like bobby fischer vs anatoly karpov (bobby fischer vs garry kasparov was the 2019 WFRCC finals, proving ultimately that bobby would've EASILY defeated garry in classical 9LX)
3
ok i've been complaining for 2 years that wesley didn't get a wildcard in the candidates for 9LX reasons even though fabi & hikaru got wildcards in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals (equivalent of 9LX candidates) for chess reasons.
(yes, hikaru too. 2018 unofficial is only 2 players & both were chess wildcards. but unfortunately no, magnus indeed deserved a wildcard into the 2019 WFRCC semi-finals)
but i guess that's now moot.
4
but still wesley should get a wildcard in the 2024 WFRCC if it's going to be classical (at least 60min) again like 2019 not rapid in 2022 (32.5min).
Or whatever don't give Wesley as wildcard but let all tiebreakers be classical 9LX AW/A and then Wesley So will win the whole tournament EASILY.
5
finally, magnus garry hikaru daniil, veselin, liren, piers morgan, george bush are bad guys (allies of evil). wesley, bobby, hans, sergey, vlad, nepo, andrew tate, donald trump are good guys (axis of evil).
so they're both evil in different ways: allies of evil vs axis of evil as described in:
ARNSi0cPu60
like tax collector vs pharisee,
like (iran iraq north korea) vs (US UK Japan Australia)

wow i can't believe someone actually reached the end of this comment. well thanks for reading. merry christmas, happy new year, and happy holidays

PS
2023 USCC – Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner!
Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end.

3rd: Is Vidit the biggest reason India would want classical 9LX?
0
2023Nov Update – Vidit won the 2023 Grand Swiss!
1
Vidit beat Sergey Karjakin to get in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals. But then…
Wesley So & Fabi expectedly do better in classical than in rapid for both 9LX & chess. Now, I'm not familiar with Vidit but
– Wesley So does 30% better.
– Fabi does 40% better.
– VIDIT DOES 300% BETTER.
LIKE 50% CLASSICAL SCORE BUT 12.5% RAPID SCORE.
2
Vidit in 9LX
– is the top Indian classical player
– is the worst rapid player among the top 9 of the 2019 WFRCC.
– in classical ties for 2nd place w/ Fabi & Nepo behind Wesley So.
3
When is Tata Steel Classical Chess960 ? It should be a knockout where Vidit is seeded into the quarter-finals. It can be 60min, not 120min.
4
In the 2019 WFRCC, wesley so beat magnus in 3x classical in a row!
Question : When was the last time this happened in chess that someone lost 3x classical in a row in the finals of a FIDE or PCA WCC (or finals of knockouts candidates or semi-finals of a knockout WCC) ?
Answer : Vishy Anand beat Alexei Shirov in 2000.
2 whole decades Vishy's record stood – broken only in a variant!

Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players?
Uncle Bobby Fischer: My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random.
– 2004Oct11, 15 years before nephew Wesley So became the inaugural WFRCC in CLASSICAL time controls.
Vidit and Magnus are my fav players. Watching their game is absolute treat!
There was a lot of horsing in that one!! 😂😂
11:18 you cannot take the Pawn because the king will march and your pawn, do Resign after one move 😂
Magnus truly is the best endgame player to ever exist. I couldn't count the amount of times I've watched him squeeze water from stone
Magnus blessed with memory, he is above human, humans cant compete with him, leave him aside..
Trading down into an equal endgame against Magnus without a fight is about the worst strategy imaginable
Vidit and anish both rarely participate in the tournament… They don't want to loose their elo
We need the shaved magnus picture back.
This ending was worthy of the great Capablanca himself. In Chernev's book on Capa's endings, you find dozens of such games where Capa has 2 pawn islands to opponents 3, everything is dead drawn and then he just grinds the f out of the situation and wins.
Vidit needs to conjure up more
This was a really good game guys–very accurate. Magnus was very patient. 😮
Traditional Magnus game 🙂
