Why couldnt Magnus capture the knight on e4 with his knight? At 3:17 . Even though it exposes his queen to the bishop he is also attacking Wesley's queen with the knight.
"There are many ways to go wrong and there is […] only one way to go right." 2:54 That's a nice phrase actually.
Add their ratings together and you get 5555
Maxime is getting so many Ls on this channel 😂
15:10 I really wish we'd seen how this would play out. MVL isn't down a piece: they're both equal. Why can't MVL get his bishop into the game by b6 and then the bishop is free? How would Magnus have continued the attack when the rook is guarding f7 and the knight is guarding h8?
It would be great if each video ended with a link to an auto-generated video showing the best-attempt by a chess engine to finish the game: is there any tech like that that Agadmator could use?
Always a great outcome when crybaby Carlsen loses. Nicely done by Wesley.
saw a beautiful game after so many days.
The Wesley game was great, the MVL one not so much…
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

Magnus, Hikaru & FIDE cheated Wesley So in the 2022 WFRCC.
Source:
p1w4Rr-1fL
Why isn't it unfair to Wesley So that FIDE lowered the WFRCC time controls from 60min in 2019 to 32.5min in 2022 ( w/o changing the name of course to 'rapid WFRCC'. if they change the name, then there's no problem ) considering the ff things?
(Note: 45+15=60, and 25+5+2.5=32.5)
Thing1
In the 2019 WFRCC, Hikaru & Magnus did better in 17min games than 60min games. Wesley So did better in vice-versa.
Thing2
Afaik
– (0min,10min) = blitz
– [10min,60min) = rapid
– [60min,120min) = classical but unrated for 2200+ players.
– [120min,infinity) = classical
Hence, Wesley So should be the CLASSICAL WFRCC and then Hikaru is the rapid WFRCC.
Wesley So beat Magnus 3x CLASSICAL (60MIN) games in a row HUMAN VS HUMAN, no computer prep!
Thing3
Yet for some reason FIDE insists that both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid' while 17min is 'fast rapid'. They didn't even define these terms.
Check out the maths here:
I see only 2 reasonable definitions for slow & fast rapid.
-Def1 – Slow rapid means unrated classical [60,120) & fast rapid is rapid [10,60).
This means:
– There's no classical WFRCC.
– Wesley So is slow rapid WFRCC.
– Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC.
– Hence, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.
-Def2 – Fast rapid & slow rapid cut up rapid [10,60) into resp [10,35) and [35,60).
2 issues here:
– 60min is not in either of these intervals.
– Also, 32.5 is in [10,35).
So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol.
This means:
– There's no slow rapid WFRCC.
– Wesley So is classical WFRCC.
– Hikaru is rapid WFRCC, specifically fast rapid WFRCC.
– Hence, again, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.
– Def3 – The definitions must be: Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, we must have
– [10,X) fast rapid &
– [X,120) slow rapid, for some
17 < X < 32.5.
Like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!!
Thing4
Conclusion:
I believe the WFRCC was a conspiracy to get Hikaru / Magnus to win in parallel w/ the Hans Niemann situation. Think about this:
– Magnus quits the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. 1 day later, Hans Niemann, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 CGC in that Hans is removed!
– Magnus quits the 2023 WCC. 1 month later, Wesley So, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 WFRCC in that the time controls are reduced!
I hardly believe this is a coincidence. I bet Magnus even directed (or conspired w/) FIDE to remove (and hence cheat) Sergey (not American but Jewish like Hans & Bobby) from the 2022 candidates. Sergey's replacement Liren even cited as role models: Magnus, Garry & Veselin instead of Wesley, Bobby & Vlad ( as described in FlNsFKeq-iE ).
Of course there's no conspiracy at all if FIDE just says
'Ok Wesley So is classical WFRCC & Hikaru is rapid WFRCC. Sorry for the confusion!'
For chess:
The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.
For 9LX:
The ability to play 9LX is the sign of a gentleman or a lady. The ability to play 9LX well is the sign that you're not Magnus Carlsen. LOL!!!!

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.
Love it!
I heard that Wesley's girlfriend is now studying away in a university so he now can concentrate on his games
Yup. Humdinger. Food for daydreams on a rainy day.
From 5:55, there's noway you can see safely that deep into that position. That's madness, that's playing against the wall in tennis 🎾 and actually winning. May memorization in chess be replaced by creativity, just so dumb people like me can replicate the joy people who achieve and feel after been proving right.
To do what?!
I like wesley so name. It find it feel calm.
Magnus: But am the best chess player in the World.
Wesley: So
Wow
I will dream about Ng5+ every night for a long time.
Just attack attack game
Wesley's Knight sacrifice is has Tal does it.
Sacrificing with no apparent initiative. But your opponent will need to play engine like moves to defend the game.
I don't care about clock times. If it matters, you can just tell us.
nice title
Agadmator, I'm a long time fan and I was hoping we could get a Richard Rapport series. Thank you for the great content
Shocking upset.
Awesome game. I also enjoyed the clock being apart of videos. Keep up the great work.
Great game. Magnus is a spectacular defender usually, but he decided to wander into the "Dark Forest" as early as move 4… !
Wesley Tal
Magnus is unstoppable
Wow powerful offensive game by Wesley very impressive sacrifices paid off well Takes a lot to beat Magnus
Kolours are kool
Wesley added exercises to his routine before games. Guess it worked out quite well.
I've never noticed that letter on the robot. Love your commitment to all details.
In the end of the day, Wesley is the only player who often kicks Magnus' ass.
"You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one." (Mikhail Tal)
Go, Wesley!!!
It’s not a big deal Magnus can deal
With losing on occasion, it’s people like you that exaggerate the demeanor
At 2:59 after ne4, why not nxn attacking the queen and bishop while exposing the black queen to the bishop. If you take the knight with the pawn you lose the bishop to the queen.
Magnus and chess are twins born together
and people still doubt that Tal wouldn't crush most modern players 🤦♂
Again I watch all of your videos…. I know there’s a better way to share this but here is a fun composition for Pawns: https://youtu.be/fLmACMj0IxU?si=tjX8OpWDzoVtjSEV
Would it be possible to incorporate an evaluation bar will be really helpful in analysing positions
Looks like home prep by Wesley
Those move orders were mesmerizing….!
