@@FBI-sq9ub Psychology is part of the game. The threatening style of Ivanchuk is a plus for him, but his own inability to perform under pressure is a minus, and overall, he's just worse. The result is the sole measure, no matter how 'genius' or entertaining his games might be. The same holds for any sport or more importantly, wars. You can do flashy and scary stuff all you want and maybe win a few battles, but you'd just loose overall. If you work in investment you'd know better. Ivanchuk is a high-risk high-reward player, but overall fails to outperform those who are more balanced. That's a matter of statistics and utility theory. That's chess. It's like a military battle. Strategies include managing your mental state. One who manages his mental state well would also not play in a high-risk fashion because it's just on average irrational. So it's kind of just how it is.

This is one of the best end games I have ever seen. Especially, since this is against Magnus.

Ivanchuk had always been leading from the start of this game, kind of threw a bit in the middle, but still manageable, and played brilliantly towards the end...

14:08 -- We reach the final position after 90. Rf1 Ke3 and Carlsen resigns. You might also want to mention that if Carlsen tries 91. Re1+ trying to pick up the pawn that Ivanchuk can play 91..Kf2 both threatening the rook and threatening mate. Great exposition! Дуже дякую за вашу відмінну роботу!

The way Chucky won, he dragged the champion up and down the mountain , tortured him and let him die with just a pawn up in the end.

Is that guy checking out someone's position, or just staring into empty space? It's Ivanchuk, therefore impossible to tell. agadmator is too funny!

Watching this game I feel my own weaknesses... so many razor sharp continuations deep into the middlegame and endgame, and both players sidestep myriad traps I would surely fall into. How are they so good?!

Rob Flax Their whole life is chess..Yours is not..Simple!

One detail about the final position I think you might have included was what to do if Re1+. In that case the pawn is too far away for the king alone to escort it to the end because the rook can either keep giving check or attacking the pawn until the king hides behind it, so it can't be pushed. The solution after Re1+ is Kf2, which actually wins the rook, because if the rook moves you have mate in one. No time for pawn grabbing.

Or maybe he was staring into empty space,this is Vassily so we never know!. Ok,that was epic!

These could well be the most beautiful moves of the black pieces I have yet seen! Ivanchuk - the Picasso of chess.

You should mention in the video the last move, I didn't see it all, where if you do RE1+, the king comes to f2 and threatens mate with Rh8, forcing the king to move and giving black the tempo he needs to play e4 and bring the pawn home. Man, these guys are good at this.

I love the photos of the players before the games. Excellent addition to your videos

To diminish Magnus on chess is no mean feat. Ivanchuk deserves a Nobel prize just for this game....it has everything

If people were confused as to why re1 doesnt work, kf2 threats mate with rh8 and hits the rook

Great content as always, mate! You opened my eyes to Ivanchuk - what a gun.

Probably my favourite KZread Chanel. I don't even play chess.

there is a bit more to the analysis at the end if you are interested...@14:17 ... if Carlsen plays Re1 check, then Kf2, and after the rook moves away or captures with Rxe5...its Rh8 checkmate, as the king is guarding the g file escape squares...basically his rook is forced to stay on the f file to prevent Kf2...if the rook did not have this overhead task...then it would have been a much tougher task to convert (not impossible), but Carlsen would have certainly played on ...because upon Re1 the king would have had to retreat to defend the pawn

This is one endgame for the ages, spectacular !

"Having a nice moment with himself. As usual." EPIC comment.

"Disturbance in the Force". I love Agadmator more after seeing he's a Star Wars fan!

You forgot to mention how pissed off Magnus Carlsen was after the game, accusing Ivanchuk of losing on time in most of his games and bringing his best when faced him. Magnus inability to lose gracefully and sense of entitlement was overblown. Smart but arrogant.

To be fair to Magnus. It's what's happened. But it's invanchuck nature. He's autistic, not slightly. It's hard for him to afford full concentration and emotion management for all of a tournament. His genius brain engine can beat one ou two World Champions in a row but doesn't have the stamina for a full set. So he concentrated for the most importants ones Also he's old. He's said to be unbeatable when he feels in his good days.

This is my first time seeing him play and the only one that I enjoyed so far (KZread somehow recommended chess to me, so I started watching from like 4 days ago... I enjoy the game very much, but haven't played for a long time)... On the other hand, I've watched several current GMs playing each others, and I have to say, they don't play as I expect them to play 😂 not saying it's bad, but it'd say more loose moves here and there without a solid mega plan, if you know what I mean 🤧 then again I'm a nobody in chess, right 🙈😆...

Chess endgames like this are top class interesting!

I barely play chess but I love watching your videos, it makes me want to learn !

A better explanation in the end, magnus resigned in last position because if white plays Re1+ to stop black king from advancing since the white rook is x-raying the black pawn, black replies Kf2! threatning mate and threatning the rook!. ALways cool to explore all tactics in positions :D

Hey agadmator , i hope you nice friday Iam from egypt and i wanna to tell you that i love your videos i learned more about chess from your comments on video. Keep going and god bless you. With my love.❤❤

THANKS FOR SHARING IT !

A point of interest, and clarification, regarding Ivanchuk's comment, saying that Carlsen should have pushed his Pawn c5-c6, instead of moving Rook b6-h6: When Stockfish 11 evaluates this position beyond depth 56, it says Black's best response to the Pawn Push would be valued at +2.76. On the other hand, it values Ivanchuk's in-game response to the Rook move with King f5-e4 at over +9.30. So while pushing the pawn may not have been enough to equalize the position, Stockfish agrees with Ivanchuk that Pushing the Pawn in this case would have been a much stronger move for Carlsen than what he played over the board. In any event, Stockfish finds other moves for White's Rook that are valued better than the Pawn Push. But not by much. At depth 57, Stockfish suggests Carlsen's best option would be Rook b6-b5, and values Ivanchuk's best option for response at only +1.75.

Love the title and the picture

This is refreshing! I see my play is similar to Chucky’s I do these weird moves that throw off my opponent. Even the engines don’t see it. This guy gave all the grandmasters problems. 👍 Need to study this guys strategies more, but really it’s instinct. Some play like Kasparov, others play like Fischer, different minds

Too good. Too intense! Wild!!! 😈

wow didn't expect that finish :D

"..and now king to D3..... CRASH!" Love it.

When I analyzed the position shown at 11:57 with SF9, it shows that if white pushes c6 (as Ivanchuk guessed) white can force a draw.

#suggestion Please do the game between Magnus vs Grischuk Linares 2009. It's beautiful with the exchange sacrifice and the bishop sac too!

Actually the final position would be drawn if it was a normal position, because white has a defence of frontal attack of the king and a pawn, checking the king from the 1st rank. It would work if we removed the position for 1 file to the left. But exactly in this position this defence doesn't work because of the mate threat with Kf2!

Analysed the game with SF13 and NNUE on Lichess. It says C6 indeed is a -0.3, basically a draw

Chakky is a trouble for any world champion or chess superstar whatever.. it is confirmed many times! 😛😛

3:50 -- Here Ivanchuk played 18..a5 the pivotal moment in the game. Here Carlsen thought this was weakening the queenside a bit too much (an evaluation that the engines apparently agree with), and decided to play for a win. _How_ does one see this?? That's definitely beyond my chess understanding.

This was an interesting one :D
