It really is amazing how just a slight variation of moves which leads to a seemingly identical position can actually swing the entire game. Chess truly is the greatest table game ever invented.

@@joyjoy442No one says it bro. But everyone wants to. Anand is different. Sadly India despite being chess rich country only has 4 Super GrandMasters.

I just spent some time looking at this with the engine and the intricacies of this endgame are crazy! For example Re4 immediately without Re7+ seems to be a draw, because you have to force the black king away from controlling e8 so you can hide your king from checks on e8 later while controlling the queening square, and the black can’t play kf8 to control e8 because that allows white to gain an important tempo with a check on the back rank later, which slows white black’s counterplay with the passed b pawn just enough so that white can promote first. Even so, there are some lines black has to avoid where Re7+ can be played later instead which win for white; there are also some lines where the b pawn can be sacrificed for a draw... there are so many intricate ideas and it’s really hard to understand why they work in some lines and in others they don’t, when it seems like there’s no difference. Even the engine has to be put on high depth to correctly evaluate many of the lines. No wonder even Magnus couldn’t find the win here.

Excellent analysis. Nice to feel I instinctively spotted Re7+, - but without realising the need to return to e5! Under pressure, I'd probably have gone for black's a pawn but I now realise this would result in a draw at best, and only if white is able to avoid the exchange of rooks. If rooks are exchanged, it's surely a loss with white's King stranded from the remaining pawns.

After 3-4 years of not being around it much, your videos have helped inspire me to get back into it, whether that be playing online, in tournaments, or taking part in my college’s chess club. Very rarely do I eat a meal without one of your videos playing in the background, thanks for sharing your passion for everyone to watch and learn :) cheers mate

That is funny because properly preparing and playing Re4 was screaming to me, being the classic way to get the pawn down the board when the opponent's king is cut off. It was also screaming to prevent the advance of the black queenside pawns, which was black's only counterplay.

Beautiful Game. 👍

Magnus is so good, he has 3 pawn islands and that's supposed to be bad but somehow he's the one pushing for a win lol.

It definitely feels good when you found the move...and i didn't pause the video😂

Nice explain this game

#suggestion Pragnananda Caruana

Part of the point of Re7 is to win a tempo. Because if Black repeats, Re4 will come with the Black king at its original square. So it is almost as if White gets Rook to e4 for free. Another part of the point is lucena position, which is ...

I "found" Re7+, but my idea was to put it then behind the passed a-pawn. How would that turn out?

A move I found without blinking..

New game?! I play that opening all the time 🤣

Hey Agad, I am a very big fan of your channel, but I wonder whether on 11:06 if you play Re4 then if you get to the position you mentioned you CAN actually get out of check by building the so called bridge, after Rd2+ Ke4 Re2+ Kd5, Rd2+ can be met with Rd4 blocking and the black king is too far to prevent queening, I bet there are many other dangers in the position, but escaping from black rook checks shouldn't be one of them

It could be good if u could place a eval bar for the games.

Please do Caruana vs Praggu

Opppps, a little tiny tiny inaccuracy by Magnus, not that I spotted it, but with Agad’s forensic analysis it’s revealed. Thanks Agad, u make these game so much more entertaining and educational; your channel is my chess school !! (Most fun & interesting school I’ve ever attended !! )

Is it that hard to organize online chess games for Dubov?

Did anyone else see the endgame’s resemblance to the Lucena position?

That escalated quickly! Did they both have dates they were late to or something? I don't remember seeing two people get to the endgame this quickly outside of a Blitz tournament in a burning building.
