@@tatsuyasigh1906 I'm not talking about this game, I'm talking about his games over the last 3 years which I have followed. And I didn't say he was almost unbeatable in the "middle game", the middle game is an extension of the opening and hence it derives a lot from prep which isn't Alireza's strong suit. I just said that in a context where only tactics and positional sense matters, he's almost unbeatable. Those are two different things we said.

I like Alireza but he's playing terrible chess in this tournament.

Alireza needs to trust his intuition and just make moves! I think being under time pressure helped him because he barely had time to think and just played good chess... which is what he's known for! I hope he gets his confidence back after this win, that was huge for him.

Well chess are about fun and knowledge. Levy makes both of these things at the same time and to be fair, it works. He says his opinions on positions, he analyze best moves what players should play, makes talk in funny and entertaining way... I know that he is sometimes very loud and also he sometimes talks like a dick, but everything is about fun and I think that for both young and old players, he can be worth to watch foe different kind of things. Still I agree that Agad is more serious about it, and for those, who hate weird or classic humor, he is so much preferable choice.

Agadmator explained had audio problem but it came back after couple moments

I think in every game, Guccireza should let his time run out to 1 minute and then start playing. Turns out he plays bullet better than he plays classical😂

"Skip unless you can lip-read" -- Agad will never cease to amaze me hahaha anything except a re-recording!

Man Gukesh was so close to pulling into clear lead. Alereza is a beast

The end to this game was so good to watch live. Thought Alizera was done for when his clock was down to 2:00 with over 10 moves to go, but what a finish!

wow what an absolutely incredible turn of events!!! love the format!!!!!

Thank u a lot for your marvelous coverage

My eyes got teary listening to that amazing speech... So deep my brain cannot process it and so erases it as soon as I'm done hearing it :') Beautiful

As far as I can see Gukesh never played a blunder move in this game. He simply was outplayed by Alireza's engine-like attack. It reminded me of some times when I've been playing the Lichess engine and thought my fortress was impregnable but the engine painstakingly broke it down. If Gukesh erred, it was strategic not tactical; that is to say, he diverted resources to pushing the passed pawn when those resources really just needed to remain in a defensive position.

What a game that was

I was streaming the game.... And wow, finally got to see the fight Alireza has... Brilliant

I'm glad you brought up the time control, because I was thinking almost the exact same thing. It been really exciting to watch, but it looks incredibly tense for the players. Leko was saying, with increment they are all professional enough to handle any stress basically, but you take that away and it becomes incredibly stressful, why they'd want this is a good question.

I knew you'd cover this game for sure, it was very intense and I'm glad you played the ending clip. Also #suggestion cover the Round 7 Nepo/Naka game please.

Alireza is amazingly wicked with his knights.

Just a few hours Ago I wished to see your Analysis.. Thanks For uploading.❤

@agadmator audio lost at 16:00 to 18:17 from when you go back from Gukesh's reaction. I saw the game earlier today it was such an epic ending! I feel bad for Gukesh but he is very young and will only get better.

The weird thing in the photo is Alireza not wearing anything flashy lol

For a moment I thought I went mute myself, then I heard the piece move sound. Got to thank God for the sense of hearing man.

Some flies have a reaction time of 0.05 seconds, by which time Agad has already paused the video.

So happy for alireza, i hope he can bounce back even more

did you change board texture / color or something ? i cannot point finger at it but something feels different

15:46 ofc we are master of lip reading

A great game. Both of these guys have the ability to win this tournament.

Sooo.. What was the old time format? I thought it was always no increment on the 1st 40 moves?

I agree with you. I would have never voted for this time format. I would have preferred 90 minutes with a thirty second increment from move one.

@michaelmassaro4375

@@fangiscool1 No. Just thirty seconds increment from move one. That's the time control most of the elite players are used to.

Hoping this will bring Alireza back into the tournament, and also that Gukesh bounces back.

This was a heartbreaking loss for Gukesh, he played so accurately throughout the game and the tournament and barely missed the best moves under immense time pressure. I hope he can continue his performance in the following games.

Alireza did quite well yesterday. My heart broke when Gukesh just rested his head on the table. Heartbreaking.

Was Bxf2 the start of the end for Gukesh? Even though it's such an elegant move, I wonder if being a piece behind messed with his subsequent moves.

Gukesh has decent nerves, but he's shown that when the stakes get high and the time is low, he can blunder just like everybody else. On top of it, he seems to have a bit of a time trouble addiction, so this might be just the start of his time trouble blues.

Antonio was left speechless after witnessing Firouzja's checkmate move! Hehehe

Agadmator, I don't know that you can change it, but your screen shows Round 6, not Round 7. Very nice video!

How he can rate someone who has won the last 2 CMs as 2nd tier?? Yes, Nepo does sometimes play mediocre during regular tnmts, but it's like he's a different animal at the candidates and should always be rated the favorite until he loses one. Especially seeing as in one of the matches he won it easily by a good margin.

Totally speechless

Looking forward to Talv2.0 in 14 years! All the best to your family. Congrats! ❤

This is a very entertaining candidates

We should get more coverage of Gukesh, because he’s the youngest ever after Fischer to compete in the candidates and also he’d be joint first with Nepo had he snatched a draw here or even in the sole lead had he won, all at the age of 17. He clearly has the potential to achieve Fischer’s class / level.

10:30 a beautiful motive thank you!

15:47 such wise words from our friend Agad 😊

When nothing happening right for you, play the simple yet mighty London System

The picture was actually a few moves later, after the knight got out. Gucci-Reza jammed in this game. He's bringing the fade back. 🔥

Four in a row would be great to witness.

The pressure on these guys is so intense!

Agadmator is so great for not re-editing his video's. 🔥

This is was incredible! I feel for Gukesh tho, man, teenager playing for full out victory.

best of this Candidates so far

I gotta ask... Gukesh ritual when starting a match is often meditating on Move 1. Often it takes a few minutes or so to complete. Do you think it would have made a difference if he had done it earlier and saved that time?

15:47 that skip unless you can lip read caught me off guard

Mentioning how much time each player is making a move after is interesting. Keep it up.
