Love the fact that in the press conference after the match, when Magnus Carlsen was asked by a reporter what he was thinking when Caruana played RD8, he said "I was thinking 'oh shit"
I think Caruana didn't feel comfortable in game 1 because it's was he's first championship game but in game two he felt really nice and showed what he really got
He showed a long, drawn-out draw. Yawn. Not championship chess. No one will be talking about this in twenty years if it goes on this way. Other than to say how mediocre the chess was.
@@melvynobrien6193 what are you talking about? Caruana's preparation for this game was insane and Magnus played perfectly cause the game was full of traps. Don't think that agadmator is showing all the lines. Magnus avoided losing with the white pieces playing the best moves and the engines didn't give advantage for either side in a very tricky position. Maybe u don't get how chess works, cause this draw was a good result for both of them.
I just want to say, I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I started playing against computers/engines and just played my first real game yesterday at the age of 24! Never did I think I would enjoy chess like this. I grew up loving and playing sports and outdoor activities and I guess it just never caught my eye. Your content was so intriguing it motivated me to explore what is now a new interest of mine. Thank you!
Had two other videos of this game pop up in my recommendations, but I told myself "no, I must be patient, Agadmator will soon upload and I will enjoy it to the fullest". Thank you for such wonderful quality, Antony, you're truly a fantastic person♥️
Watching your vids always puts a smile on my face. It’s very obvious that you absolutely love what you do. It’s awe inspiring and motivating to see someone who took a chance with something he loved, kept pushing forward, and now has the respect from elites in the chess community and are recognized by movie stars... well done sir... well done!
I started trying to learn ~ 4 weeks ago after finding this channel. I play on lichess, mostly v computer for the first two weeks, till I could beat level 1 fairly comfortably then so so level 2. Also the puzzles are really good on there. They have introductory lessons as well which are really nice. About two week ago I started with chessable, learning some openings, and endgame practice. Basically the free courses on there. Then ofc keeping up with this channel.
I’d recommend that you simply start a paying games. You’ll lose a lot at first But it doesn’t matter. Don’t study anything about openings at first. There are some good books for beginners but I’m not sure which to recommend. I’m sure some others on here can give you some advice on which books to read. I will say that learning to play chess will be an extremely rewarding experience. You will begin to see things differently. Not only across the chess board, but in life in general. I envy you and the great journey you are about to begin.
Lichess is really good You'll find a lot of players who are better than you and around your level, the interface is soo accessible that I find it somewhat addictive
Great recap! I love that you had some Leela insights and focused on many different lines than Grischuk did in his commentary. One interesting thing Sasha mentioned about the rook ending is that white actually prefers to have the pawn structure 'ruined' by being doubled on the f-file. It lets you trade the former g-pawn for a central pawn, making it impossible to create a passed pawn there. A much easier draw than if the pawns were left intact.
"Human chess." I know this is not the first time that phrase has been used, but it's a nice back-formation that will likely be heard more frequently. Reminds me of "acoustic guitar," a phrase that didn't exist until the invention of electric guitars.
Agadmator is entertaining that's why I subscribed. This is my favorite chess channel. He analyse the game better and the details are very clear than any other Chess channel I've watched. Thank you for making videos like this.
I'm an excellent subscriber, but I really wish these videos came sooner, the is WCC I can't wait so long. The excellent subscriber in me makes me watch your video even though I've watched else where
Agadmator, when you started a TH-cam channel just a short while ago.....did you imagine that it would someday lead you to meeting some of the most incredible people on the planet? That has to feel awesome.
Pozdrav druze :) pratim tvoj kanal vec duze vreme zaista posedujes znanje u analizi komentari su ti na mestu kao i odabir partija. studiozno uz razumna objasnjenja bez preteranih "'pametovanja". top 1 kanal o sahu ubedljivo samo gazi! veliki pozdrav iz SRBIJE!!! :)
Your analysis is always so interesting and fun to watch! None of the other chess you tubers covering the championship compare. Watching your videos has given me so much more appreciation for chess and a desire to improve my game. Thanks agadmator!
Good thing you decided to go back to your home. I miss the Dog and I think this way you can post your videos faster maybe even live discussion. You are the best, I have checked out others but they are not even close.
Thanks for uploading. Thanks to you, my vast knowledge about chess as well as other random things(drinking water, prophylactics, burgundy etc.) has been steadily increasing.
I am confident that I saw you walking on the Strand in London today. If it wasn't you, it must have been someone who looks identical to you. I wanted to say how much I like this channel. Keep up the exciting videos man!
I've recommended this channel in a couple of newspaper comment threads about the Championship. Several thumbs-ups, every follow-up comment in complete agreement, and - best of all, for me - "Thanks for the link, just what I'm looking for".
Wow! Rd8 followed by d4 is such a bloodbath. No wonder when I saw a video containing Caruana's preparation, his support staffs were all exhausted. Now I know why. So far, Caruana is looking good and as predicted by so many, this is indeed going to be a close contest.
I am sorry for trying to watch other people's analyses because it took you a moment. But I came back to sound reasoning and I waited for this video. :D
I was impatient yesterday and wanted to see game 2, so I tried some other guys' videos but they were all awful lol. Maybe because this is the first channel ive ever watched, but they didnt explain shit, they didnt talk with precision so they could be understood, and often they went off on rants about themselves instead of the game. Your channel is great, man! I appreciate all the work you put into it, and as a casual observer, rather than player, its much more informative and entertaining for me.
Of all the hundreds of youtube chess channels and dozens of analysts, there are only two people who make you enjoy chess and benefit from their brilliant and profound analysis : Jerry from ChessNetwork and Antonio Agadmator.
@@aokereturns6054 A mí me pasa justamente lo contrario. Encuentro el acento de Juanjo simpático y divertido, mientras que el acento de Antonio me recuerda a las mafias rusas de las películas americanas.
I was really sorry as it turned out yesterday that I am not an excellent subscriber. It is very comforting to become truely excellent subscriber today. ;)
The drink is called "Isklar" directly translated to "Iceclear" and is a Norwegian product. The reason you might get 'after effect' of it is because you can get it with different tastes like regular with lime or lemon or something else. You can also get just regular water and since it's Norwegian, it's one of, if not, the best water in the world. I'm Norwegian myself and doesn't usually buy it because we can drink tap water but sometimes I do.
4x3 on the kingside is a theoretical draw in most cases and Nxf7 can be played instead of Bf3, which leads to some wild variations, worth analyzing. Loved the stare GIF :-)
I'm going to game 3 on Monday so I cant share my experience yet, but I can tell you that The College (the venue) is usually very nice, and paying 45 pounds to see the world's two best chess players for a few hours is not bad :)
Hi Agadmator thanks for the content again!! Question from a chess noob to anyone who is patient enough, at 22:10 what about f3 while e4 is pinned? Would that variation bring to anything useful? I guess no if Magnus didn't play it 😅 but I'm not a good player and I just can't see the following moves...
Antonio, please organize a meet-up for your fans in London, during or after the championship. Do it! I’ll be the first to attend. Many thanks, Dimitrios :)
Would be nice if there was a way to flip the board on youtube, since I'm in the USA/Italy Camp, cheering on Fabiano. I think Magnus is an outstanding player & was cheering him on as he climbed up the ladder, however, I'm from the USA & was alive to see Fischer win & would like to see another American win in my lifetime! :)
Oh man that stare by Carlson was like, Ok Fabi what do you have up your sleeve? Completely unexpected, and exactly what Fabi was going for, something that Carlson did not prepare for!

Hi Antonio, it was nice meeting you! You're improving my knowledge on chess and water ;) Greetings from the Leela chess zero developer.
Likewise! Great meeting you:)
Folkert Huizinga You are such great people, Antonio is right that its a great time to be alive, at least for chess-lovers :)
I love the way Agadmator describes the taste of the water XD
The reason why i started looking in comments
I'm a Ramlösa man myself
Agadmator/Reviewbrah crossover
That's because you are a duck
Imagine if you will........a world in which a gallon of gasoline costs the same amount as a gallon Isklar water!
If agadmator says: Check out the stare first - You check out the stare first.
One does not simply do not check out the stare first.
@@DexterTheater gimme a link brothers. Can't seem to find it
@@knoblauchdittrich7412 it's in the description.
I certainly did
Septuple
I was recommended a lot of other videos about the second game, but I decided to wait until you made one before watching any.
GM Daniel King's analysis on Powerplay Chess are the best, no offence to the excellent Antonio.
Congratulations, you are an excellent agadmator subscriber!
Gurjas Singh Batra Jerry (Chessnetwork), though.
@@j.prt.979 Oh yes, forgot to mention his live play analyses and others. They too are great!
bro same
I always play Leela moves. Such as 1.e4
@Priyanshu Sahani No, nowhere did I say anything like that.
@Priyanshu Sahani he never said that
Love the fact that in the press conference after the match, when Magnus Carlsen was asked by a reporter what he was thinking when Caruana played RD8, he said "I was thinking 'oh shit"
2:00 I would be subscribed to you even if you had a water-tasting channel
Everything for that "hello everyone"
I would actually enjoy a water-tasting channel by agadmator. No joke.
With Medo the dog testing it first, from his bowl. Ahhh, the lap of luxury!
If you are reading this. Congrats you are a good reader
I liked your comment... IMMEDIATELY.
*Excellent* reader
But I just want to enjoy the show xD
You are an excellent writer of comments.
Congratulations ur an excellent observer
I think Caruana didn't feel comfortable in game 1 because it's was he's first championship game but in game two he felt really nice and showed what he really got
carlsen made good choice not to get in fabi's prep
He showed a long, drawn-out draw. Yawn. Not championship chess. No one will be talking about this in twenty years if it goes on this way. Other than to say how mediocre the chess was.

Agreed! According to chessgames.com, Fabiano did not select a line that had favorable results for Black!
mel obrien Mediocre? Are you kidding me? I guess you’d do better?
Carlsen is an excellent starer of unconventional move makers.
Im very hungry and was about to eat breakfast but I guess it can wait
I watch agadmator videos for breakfast
@@baskoylumehmet Me too
wow i will breakfast too now! good appetite
@@baskoylumehmet they are pretty tasty I have to agree

Was waiting for your video
OMG I waited for this game now like 12 hours... Than you.

After Luka Modric , Antonio you are definitely my favorite "made in Croatia" personality . Have a good time watching the Match.

Go for it, man. We almost religiously watch 2 of your videos at lunch time. Thankyou for your vids, Adgamator! Love and respect from australia!
Appreciate not only the coverage but also the extra content... those are some great pictures of the players especially.

Forget the game. Forget the World Championship. Forget the games. Forget the pictures. Where's the dog?
Hey, been watching for about a year now. Love the content, but I don’t have any actual chess training, where would you guys recommend that I start?

I’ve watched many other breakdowns of this game and no one breaks down variations after the possible move 11. Nd2. Thanks so much
Just for the record... I waited for your video! Thanks, again, Antonio... great job...
Nice video ! Really enjoyed watching it. I prefer waiting for your analysis than just watching game by myself

I can’t find the stare from Carlsen. Can someone tell me how to find it?
in the description.
by clicking on the link that is in discription
You examine the position
Carlsen-Caruana Game 2 - 2018 FIDE World Chess Championship: th-cam.com/video/iAFhdYU3Tao/w-d-xo.html
Look in the general direction of London, the stare will be visible from your position, if you just played 10. Rd8
Antonio, instead of Bf3, isnt Nc4 better attacking both the queen and the bishop? Around 15:37 mark. Or am i missing something here!?
Antonio, please organize a meet-up for your fans in London, during or after the championship. Do it! I’ll be the first to attend. Many thanks, Dimitrios :)
i'll always wait for agadmator to upload his video rather than to watch other videos on analysis of world chess championship
I’m excited for Game 3
Would be nice if there was a way to flip the board on youtube, since I'm in the USA/Italy Camp, cheering on Fabiano. I think Magnus is an outstanding player & was cheering him on as he climbed up the ladder, however, I'm from the USA & was alive to see Fischer win & would like to see another American win in my lifetime! :)
Great Episode, Agadmator
Thanks very much for your insights on the games. Very much helpful.
I think the only channel that had chances to compete with you, was Chess Network. Now, you are dominating chess TH-cam. Good job, I like your videos.

Good Video, I just noticed steemit link you got in your description. Why aren't you using it?
