Alireza captured with his Queen just for the hell of it

The thing I Ike about Alireza is he trys to play entertaining chess even at the risk of getting worse position. He was worse in this game yet he was still pressing once in a while instead of parking the bus

Imagine trying to play "entertainingly" in candidates 🙄, the guy was just holding on for his dear life and fortunately for him rapport didn't find the winning move.

At first I found weird to hear that Rapport threw away a winning position. Then I saw the required calculations and it became less surprising. Still, I will be rooting for the power of the Random BS in his next game.

Watched the games on Twitch and then raced to Agad's channel to get a proper analysis. Antonio and his trusty sidekick never disappoint.

thank you agad for working hard to give us these videos really appreciate your work churning out 4 videos in one day is not an easy task and you make it look like a piece of cake.

7:17 So I am playing against Alireza in a rook and pawn endgame with 3 isolated pawns. Got it. I will resign, and ask for an autograph. If I am good enough to get into an endgame not down 20 points of material, I take that as a win. So yeah. Resign in 1 is a win in my book.

Fabi rightly said that Ali's winning streak to 2800 previous year didn't show his true ability, but it was the momentum which every player gets at some point in his career. I was in that group of people who thought Alireza is the best player next to magnus, and would win the candidate to challenge him. But now I think, it is really not easy.

The problem with all the hype about him is that it's really a disservice to his career. To compete at the highest level you need to 100% focus on your game, but the hype seems to get into his head and the recent dramas around him are unnecessary distractions. History of sport proves that nothing killed young talent more than media hype. Hope that he stays levelheaded through all the noise.

Both Firouzja and Rapport are here for recap after the game to see what they did wrong

I came in late to watch this game online almost right at the moment of the final PtV in this video. No spoilers, but if I hadn't seen the online analysis, I doubt very much whether I would have seen the winning move in any case. Endgames really need precision and players have often used all the "best clock thinking" in the middle game. Reaching time control at move 40 seems like a comfort, which it is, but endgames require a whole different (and harder) kind of "think" compared with other stages of the game. In my heavier playing days, I used to start feeling tired by the endgames having used my "fresher thinks" up early on. Even in crucial matches, keeping your focus is tough and often you could argue is another major factor that separates the best from the rest.

@earthwormsim8068

Most definitely. I find it far more difficult to calculate the winning moves as pieces are removed from the board into and endgame. The depths of endgames are overwhelming

@gregorymorse8423

Mathematically speaking however you are wrong. The start of the game requires the deepest calculation - so deep that no engine can come close to solving chess. However, the patterns based on limited depth understanding have been memorized by players even before the current computer era, so practically speaking, yes the endgame is raw calculation for a human vs some patterns and intuition. If chess is ever solved, the perfect strategy rest assured will require more work at the start though. The longer a game goes on, the smaller the tree of possibilities.

I think Magnus is loving this tournament. No one looks strong enough to give the Norwegian final boss a run for his money.

Generally he looks for the earliest move that detours from main theory & doesn't lose on the spot to see how his opponent reacts. Probably the most creative player in this tourney.

If you were able to spot the correct moves in both of the "Stop the Video" moments, then you have a bright future... ...as a watcher of Agadmator videos.

Whats the correct move after ra1?? Which move will take white to a win??

Wonder if we going get a Evans Gambit in the Tournament.

Alireza is becoming extremely hard to beat and that in itself is an asset which can take him very far in this tournament.

uhm, why didnt Rapport give check at the end to trade off the rooks and be left with a pawn?

Very interesting game with winning chances missed.

What differ Magnus from all players that he rarely miss a winning position like this

why your chair has changed?

Why he is always" sorry about that"
