Funny when Gukesh made the blunder of all blunders, the live engine only gave it one question mark.

Gukesh got to be one of the most exciting young player, always willing to take the risk playing dubious lines to go for the win

Wow Gukesh was really putting it on Pragg I’m a big Gukesh fan that was unfortunate he must’ve spaced it out I’m sure he regretted that mistake at the end spoiling a great attack

THE HEARTBREAK!!!!

I never knew of that repetition by position rule. I always thought repetition was an exact sequence of moves. What a disaster, many other players would have already resigned in Prag's position.

Actually in order to reach the same position 3 times, it must be made possible by repeating the same moves right? So I still don't understand the position can be reached without repeating the moves. If that is the case, there will be a break in 3 consecutive repeats. Can someone explain

The rule is a bit more complicated: Positions are considered the same if(1) the same player has the move,(2) pieces of the same kind and color occupy the same squares, and(3) the possible moves of all the pieces are the same.

This means it is not a draw if two times it was White to move and the third time it is Black. Or if the first two times casteling was possible and the third time not because the king has moved. These exact rules are often overlooked.

For anyone wondering. Threefold repetition is "Screenshot" repetition. If you see the exact screenshot 3 times then the game is draw. It doesnt matter what moves inbetween. It doesnt matter if its repeated at move 40-41-42 or 40-47-57. This is very common in end game

Under (3) above, positions are not considered to be the same if: (a) in the first position, a pawn could have been captured en passant (by the en passant rule, in the subsequent positions, the pawn cannot be captured en passant anymore), or (b) either player has lost a right to castle, i.e. either king or one of the rooks has been moved, in between repetitions of the position. This is from Wikipedia. So, no if the pieces have different move set available to them, it's not considered a draw.

No, Prag was lucky cuz the game was done, all Gukesh had to do was make any move other than the repetition and he would've entered time control with that being the 40th move. Then he'd have an additional 50 mins and the position is easy to calculate with that much time.

Agadmator: It doesnt matter what you capture it with. Also Agadmator: Well it does matter what you capture it with.

it happens quite often actually in pawnless endgames like Q vs R ( happened in Karjakin vs Carlsen game, but Carlsen did not stop the clock, he probably was not sure about it and lost ), R+B vs R endgames etc. It does not have to be 3 times in a row, but when same position repeats after 46th move, after 53rd move and after 59th move, you can claim the draw. In classical you can check from scoresheet, but in rapid / blitz you just have to rely on your memory to stop the clock and call arbiter ( assuming you have DGT boards and arbiter computer recorded moves )

I knew the rule was threefold repetition of a position, not of moves, but they _also_ repeated moves and there were no other positions in between, so what I don't understand is how this was confusing for people or how it differs form anyone's idea of any other threefold repetition.

I just can't believe!!!

Trivia question: have there been any fivefold repetitions in master-level play? (Threefold requires the player making the claim to call the arbiter. Fivefold can be imposed by the arbiter with no player claim.)

The player you wanna be and the player you are is only separated by discipline.(stockfish)

Yeah!!

I often wonder what chess would have been like without Magnus. If he didn't exist. Why. Because when I listened to interviews, when his opponents played again him, they aimed for a draw. When Magnus is not participating in a tournament, others go all in. Crazy lines, no draws,... So on one hand, we can admire Magnus, but on the other hand, his opponents are playing crazy, interesting chess if he's not playing in the same tournament.

​@@Rareme530 I agree 💯

This is among the top ten blunders I have ever seen in professional chess!

I think one of the parts confusing is the word "repeat". When I say I repeat it means 2 times, so repeat 3 times it means 4 times. The proper wording is "the position occurred 3 times" the use of the word "occurred" instead of "repeated" will make much more sense.

Should be awarded as blunder of the tournament.

The way the videos start with trailer commentary

Gukesh simply did not wish to defeat his good friend Pragg

Nc3! Love it!

Can you add eval bar to your videos?

The opening made it confusing for Ian how to attack. He did attack, but. Alireza, Wow

Bro Chess can be so Damn exciting it’s really Crazy

How much is prags undefeated streak?

Yes, Gukesh miscounted the repetition. His intention was to just repeat twice to reach time control. Hence, he was surprised when Pragg called the arbiter.

Could you make a video about Vidit's game in round 12

Gukesh has played like a beast throughout the tournament.

5:26 why would that pawn move trap anything? Black can just capture the pawn with the Bishop as it's supported by the Queen? Huh???

took me 2-3 minutes after having my sani (sandwich) and enjoying a choc chip croissant. Sani recipe will remain undisclosed yet I feel too many secrets never helped anyone and so I will admit one ingredient Branson's Pickles. Lets see how the game ended up now.... Sad, I feel sad, for the queens of old: the rooks, i don't think i have seen the rooks happier in a game, for a long time. Still he did once, he can and will do it again. Thomas Crown award for Gukesh. Pragg the Slippery title for Pragg although he really gets the Kipling award too as in "If you can keep your head..." Can't watch anymore, still sad. ... Ok, so many hours later, still sad but able to watch the rest. Well done Alireza, then again Nepo is everyone's favorite to beat as Nepo finds most of today's high end players boring. I would even wager on Alirezas move that drew Nepos contempt, but I think that's enough for one day. PS: whatever you doing Lana, keep on doing it
