00:00 Hello Everyone!
The Julius Baer Generation Cup, the 5th event on the $2 million 2023 Champions Chess Tour, features three Divisions of 8, 16 and 32 players. Each division is a double-elimination knockout where if you lose one match you drop down to a Losers bracket and can still win the tournament. In the Grand Final if the player from the Winners bracket loses, there’s a rematch. The total prize fund is $235,000, with a top prize of $30,000 (150 Tour points) in Division I, $10,000 in Division II (50 points) and $5,000 (20 points) in Division III. The top 3 in Division I and the winner of Division II qualify straight to Division I of the next event on the Tour.
The time control for normal games is 15 minutes per player for all moves, with a 3-second increment each move. In Division I and II the Winners bracket matches are played over four games, while in the Losers bracket there are two games. In Division III all matches are over two games except the 4-game Grand Final. A tie in a match is decided by an Armageddon game with no increment, where the players bid for time they are willing to play with. The lowest bidder gets that time and can pick colour, while the opponent gets 15 minutes. Black only needs a draw to win the match. Official website: championschesstour.com

Agad please do Sam Sevian vs Shakhriyar Mamedyarov in Julius Baer Generation Cup. 3 brilliancies and beautiful sacrifices for a well calculated win. Also the 2nd game of Den Laz and Ali where Ali was losing all game until the turnaround with less than 10 seconds.
Its time to show games of Divya Deshmukh another superstar from India
3:28 Why not Bishop to A7? Threaten to queen, force the trade on the rook. IF the continue to trade, and take the knight after the bishop rook exchange, you take theirs… right?
Repecharge!
it's mind-boggling to me that gothamchess has 4 Mio. subs while agadmator only has 1.3 Mio. I won't get it.
……..to be frank quite a confusing event !
#suggestion please show Amin vs. Aronian from the loser's bracket finished earlier today.
#suggestion today's second game of Alireza Firouzja vs Denis Lazavik. Quite a thriller, do check it out. (Julius Baer generation cup day4)
Suggestion # Alireza vs Lazavik final Game between the two Julius Bauer
Up a pawn. RIP
King Magnus keeps on rolling!
That's the kind of champion I really want to watch.
I found the move 😎
It’s a stupid format… “I beat everyone!”
“Now you must beat the person you already defeated.” 😑
Can’t stand the double elimination “losers bracket” format.
Magnus hates clasical chess because of the cheaters.
Double-elimination bracket is very well established in some disciplines and I personally really like it – it still has this a thrill of knockout tournament, but a player has always a second chance in losers ladder, which is more fair than pure cup system. So in that system, the player that loses in winners ladder goes to the losers ladder and face winners winner in a second match, which I guess is quite mouthful, but in the end very logical.
at 6:46 mark, nc4?
#suggestion this is called the "Winner's Finals" so as to avoid confusion with the "Loser's Finals" and "Grand Finals". Winner's and Loser's are also sometimes called Upper Bracket and Lower Bracket.
3-0 whitewash. Incredible.
It seems that Magnus is sympathizing with Fischer's condemnation of opening theory. He's just trying to play chess
Magnus in grinding mode. Wanna see him keep doing this. Wanna see him making comebacks, perhaps even for the WCC
FIzzy playing slow as usual and getting absolutely stomped.
I remember when people thought Fizzy was the next one, seems unlikely when players like prog actually playing good chess.
#suggestion
bassem amin vs Yakubboev, Nodirbek
2nd game
fabulous miniature!
You need an evaluation bar
Using the term 'upper bracket finals' is easier and less confusing
Since Carlson has reservation regarding Classical Chess, how about implementing an Opening Ballot System? Draughts and Pool Checkers uses this system!
Magnus is in the midst of clearing the side quests.
How did Alireza not find that move, it was not like a crazy engine move, it was well within a GM ‘s ability
You can only play the opponent in front of you,and the mistakes are always there waiting to be played…Tal would love this
just Tricks up ur sleeve is not enough to be the chosen one
U cannot win Magnus in classical
Not sure what counts as top-tier these days but 9…h5 has been played by at least 4 GMs and various other Masters. In addition, if white is genuinely caught by surprise, the logical continuation is 10. f4 Neg4; 11. Bg1, which transposes back to one of the main lines. 11. Ndb5 strongly suggests that Firouzja was fully prepared for this "never played" move. I think the continuation that maybe slightly threw him was 12. Nxe4, since the stem game for this variation (Tukaeva-Murzin 2015) continued 12…Rxa2 with a quick win for white.
Good game🎉
Double elimination.
#Suggestion please show us both games between Fabi & Nodirbek.
Fabi crushed in the first one with brilliant opening prep that’s a crazy miniature
Second Fabi had a position that he could win even in his sleep but one slight inaccuracy all went south
Magnus always used to bring his opponent in a zugzwang position,someway or the other.I think this is his biggest strength.
#suggestion Alexander Morozevich Vs Magnus Carlsen, Blitz Chess Tal Memorial-2013
Watched this live, eval bar had Alireza completely winning when Magnus queen and bishop were trapped in the corner. Leave it to Magnus to squeeze water from a stone
One move off the pattern and a gm crumbles.
One of the best aggressive games ever.
The easiest way to refer to the finals in double elimination brackets is winner's final, loser's final, and grand final. Most younger viewers will already be familiar with this as it's a very common format in video game tournaments.
Magnus bringing poker concept to chess by bluffing his way to victory
Excellent game.
This video was Beautiful. You are the master. Very entertaining. Very succinct and very much appreciated sir. Thank You so much!
Magnus should become a trader😅😅😅😅
Okay, Alireza missed that Qb3 move which would have won the game. But given the complexity of the position and the time constraints for BOTH players, I would hardly call the move that Alireza's made, Rd4, a "blunder"…no more than I would call Magnus' h5 move in the late opening a "blunder". That's why today's top engines can easily defeat any one of the super grandmasters alive. Humans cannot…and do not…play "perfect" chess. Because if they did, then they'd be no need for engines, or even for the game of chess any longer!
he hates but still win..
will not happen to me.. 😀
tomorrow, Alireza will answer all his haters in the grand final!
Double elimination is a two bracket system. I think the more accurate names of both brackets are upper bracket and lower bracket, but it is commonly referred to as winner's and loser's.
Everyone has to lose twice to be eliminated but the finals is always determined by having someone who never lost vs someone who has lost once. It's a nice change of pace, even if it feels weird to give the grand final an obvious advantage to one player (who earned it by winning all their games prior), but the cool part is sometimes a player who lost in the first round wins it all by beating the player who never lost in two matches right at the end. It's an interesting system.
