@@stanleytime9193 are you devoid of the ability to grasp blatantly obvious things or are you just playing dumb? Classical chess IS boring to watch. Always has been. Always will be. The only reason you are defending it is because you get a very convenient 20 minute video a couple of times a day from this lovely channel that shows off cool and thought provoking moves. You wouldn't sit through hours of two players thinking. If you do, you either don't have a job/spouse/social life/a general purpose in life or all of the above. That is why chess is so underfunded. Because the viewer isn't attracted to sitting through the hours of thinking. This is basic economics and should be fairly obvious.

I was going to bed with ideas of sleep, seemed to be a winning position for me, but then agadmator played the best move uploading a video, now if I try to escape with ideas of watching it tomorrow, it will be difficult for me to recover from this, so instead, I made the best move and got comfortable to watch it in bed.
Great game! Thx for the input Antonio!
A player’s strength is not measured by their number of wins but how they come back after being down. This is why Carlsen is the World Champion
at 15:58 the live commentators were speculating whether instead of Rg8 Nils could have tried d3 - but they didnt fully analyse it. In a way d3 was the move Nils was clearly preparing for so it was a little suprising he didnt play it. It certainly looks promising. For example Rxg7+ Kh8 Rc7+ QxQ PxQ Rb2 - white should still be winning but at least black is more active and has an isolated e pawn to attack - or might be able to pick up white's h pawn
I feel that Magnus in best shape would have finished the game earlier
19:12 magnus king farts.

This Najdorf is like that kid mom told you to stay away from yet you play with just to be amongst the cool.

I don't know about faster, but Agad's voice definitely seems slightly higher pitched these days. I was just watching some older videos of his from a few years ago, and the difference was immediately apparent. I think the change probably happened when he had his heart operation, in fact I have a vague memory of him saying he might sound different after the operation. It's certainly possible that he got faster, too, but I haven't personally noticed it.

That loss woke him up
Agadmator, I really dislike the premium feature. It adds nothing to the stream, because the chat is being spammed by useless comments most of the time, and if I click on your video while premiering, I'll just be sent to a random part of the video because it's live. This ruins the video because sometimes I'll just join and I get straight sent to the final position and spoilers just ruin the experience.
Great shirt, agadmator!
In 21:44, after white goes for Kg6, it's a good idea (i think) that black goes for Qh8
i am convinced that all these grandmasters don't play the engines top moves just so they can hear agadmator say "it is as of move ... we have a completely new game"
How Magnus Carlsen bounces back: Step 1: Establish dominance Step 2: Establish more dominance Step 3: Establish ultimate dominance Step 4: Win
