00:00 Hello Everyone!

Norway Chess is a 10-player round-robin featuring Top 5 stars Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja and Hikaru Nakamura taking place in Stavanger, Norway from 30 May to 9 June. Each of the 9 rounds consists of a classical game where a win is worth 2 points and a loss 0. If the players draw they play an Armageddon game, where the winner earns 1.5 points and the loser 1 point. No draw offers are allowed before move 30.

The 3+2 blitz opener takes place on Monday 29th and will give the winners the chance to pick their pairing numbers for the main event. The classical time control is 2 hours for all moves, with a 10-second increment per move only after move 40. For Armageddon White (the same player who had White in the classical game) has 10 minutes to Black’s 7, with a 1-second increment from move 41. Black wins if the game ends in a draw. A tie for 1st place will be decided by two 3+2 blitz games followed, if necessary, by a 5 vs. 4-minute Armageddon game. Official website: norwaychess.no

    So insane that Kasparov is still rank two all time mmr.

    Our good friend bishop pair from hell killed by shak

    Carana couldn't get the W, maybe Caruana can avenge him

    Well today it's not a rest day from what i know, right? I hope Fabi comes back strong.

    Nakamura, Hikaru (2775) – Tari, Aryan (2642)???

    knightless games are a little bit disugsting.

    Hi, agadmator. I understand that life happens sometimes. I don't understand why you can't edit your videos. Next time a mailman shows up 7 minutes into one of your videos, start over. Either that or use some $10 video editing software to prevent your YouTube audience from knowing that you had to get up in the middle of one of your recordings. Come on, man. You have a lot of subscribers. Stop disrespecting us by not even putting in a tiny amount of effort.

    I like how there is a mailman and/or a dog in every video now

    The mailman is here. Those of you who want to can pause for a moment or you can sit back and enjoy the show.

    6:26 I'm looking forward to the day agad will be so self-aware that he can do jokes like this: "And it is in this position that the mailman is knocking on my door, gimme a sec"

    Could you show Magnus vs Giri Armageddon game? We love to watch two of them battling it out 😁😁😁

    Nic (J Bruce Feynman Niccolo P. Bentulan) says:

    Agad, what's your opinion of FIDE's use of the terms 'slow rapid' & 'fast rapid' please? This has implications for Wesley So. Afaik:

    (0,10) is blitz.

    [10,60) is rapid.

    [60,120) is unrated classical.

    [120,infinity) is rated classical.

    So what's 'slow rapid'?

    Try to check out the maths here – they said both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid'. Does this strike you as odd?

    I see only 2 possible definitions for slow & fast rapid.

    Def 1 – slow rapid means unrated classical [60,120) and fast rapid is rapid [10,60).

    –> this means Wesley So is not classical WFRCC but slow rapid WFRCC while Hikaru is (fast) rapid WFRCC.

    Def 2 – slow rapid & fast rapid cut up rapid [10,60) into resp [35,60) and [10,35).

    –> 2 issues here. 60min is not in either of these. Also, 32.5 is in [10,35). So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol. Wesley So is again classical WFRCC while Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC.

    Def3 –> Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, [10,X) is fast rapid & [X,120) is slow rapid for some 17 < X < 32.5. like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!!

    4:22 what a move a5 is. Looks like so much pressure on the king, would have never thought of that.
    Entire game shak makes moves that feels like playing with fire, unbelievable

    After 6 months of waiting finally we can see the mail-man variation 😂

    Mamedyarov and Agadmator look like they could be brothers lol

    Shakhriyar Mamedyarov is only the heavy weight here. Fabi is lean and slick

    Hi agadmator is the steinitz saga still coming this year?

    Disappointed to discover that FIDE has not introduced weight divisions.

    Heavyweight: Grandmasters
    Middleweight: International Masters
    Lightweight: FIDE Masters

    Featherweight Secondaries on the High School Junior Varsity Team: Everyone else

    2nd: magnus cheats anish in round 7 superbet blitz

    3:22:36 in 8gw7XDq87C4 #suggestion

    2016 WCC – This is relevant to the 2023 WCC.

    Please agad cover the other decisive game of the Sergey Karjakin vs Magnus Carlsen 2016 WCC #suggestion

    What happened is that Magnus lost to Sergey AS WHITE in Game 8 but then compensated for a white loss with A WHITE WIN in Game 10. This is what happened to Liren Ding & Nepo for Games 2 & 4 of 2023 WCC.

    Why doesn't a drawn match go to the player w/ more black wins (if any) s.t. Sergey Karjakin not Magnus Carlsen is 2016 WCC & Ian Nepomniachtchi not Liren Ding is 2023 WCC?

    This has happened BEFORE!

    1

    2022 Accentus Chess960

    Vincent Keymer and Nodirbek Abdusattorov both finished with 5.0/7 and tied first. However, as Keymer won more games with Black, he won the tournament on tiebreak.

    2

    1980 – 1981 candidates tournament

    'When the quarterfinal between Portisch and Spassky was tied after 14 games, Portisch was declared the winner because he had won more games with Black.'

    Actually maybe cover the only 2 decisive games here if not already? #suggestion

    3

    1983-1984 candidates tournament

    It wasn't repeated! The premise was the same! Hübner had more black wins than Smyslov before tiebreaks. After tiebreaks were tied, a ROULETTE determined Symslov won!!

    Actually maybe cover the only 2 decisive games here if not already? #suggestion

    Other suggestions in women's chess

    A – Was Kg6 in Dina's 1st GM slaying game in Reykjavik sexism? Like looking down on Dina?

    B – Anna Cramling's dad beats Mikhail Tal. #suggestion

    C – Philippine women's chess #suggestion – WGM Janelle Frayna, the female Wesley So, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz.

    There's a 13-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here.

    [Variant "From Position"]

    [FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"]

    1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qe6 Bf6 7. Qe8+ Kc7 8. Qc8+ Kd6 9. e5+ Qxe5 10. d8=R+ Bxd8 11. Qxd8+ Kc6 12. Qa8+ Kb5 13. Qxa2

    For some reason none of the Philippine channels except Kelvinllovejr even cover this game. LOL. But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on.

    P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See

    Hello agadamator. I have a question. Has chess changed your mentality and if so how?

    No views, 7 likes, 0 comments
    Well let me change that

    agadmator is calling shak fat. we are going to bring back shak attack

    What if Queen hypothetically recaptured the pushed pawn to e7??

    And the mailman is here, I'll give you guys a few second to figure out the next move, be right back. Then comes back like he never left. This dude knows his stuff this proves it. Just picked up his commentary without having to think about it

    4:24 "pawn to a5, not really worried about anything here" 😂

    I love to see Mamedyarov's games, what a cold blooded killer! 😊

    How ridiculous is Bobby's rating top 20 grandmasters all in the last 30 years and then just 1 rating point shy over 50 years ago, way before the era of computer chess.

    Finally a great win by Shak. He was so dominant and precise. Not even breaking a sweat despite all these threats. Great game!

    Agad the only guy who leaves the camera unattended and doesn't edit it out and we love it when it happens!
