At 1:27, the reason Anand goes for 7.Rb1 is because he wants to guard the b4 square. If he plays some other move and doesn't protect that square, then Yifan will play bxc4. And after bxc4 recapture, black will play Bb4+ and the dark square bishops will get exchanged. Anand wants to keep more pieces on the board for attacking options.
Aniket Bramhankar I mean those are some inhuman stats but it's not quite stockfish. If you think about it, that means at 10 moves he would be a pawn behind stockfish, at 20 he would be 2 pawns behind, etc
really proud of Hou Yifan. She could have stayed competing in the women section and she would have ruled it but she decided to play with the masters and and some of the top players of the world. No doubt she will loose a lot of games but she will learn a lot too.
I still have no clue what the idea behind a women league is There is no cognitive difference between females and males right ? But still the women get trashed most of the time Can someone explain me why
it amazes me how even when both sides have the same pieces, there can still be an overwhelming advantage for one side just from position. I am going to remember to keep my opponent pieces pinned as much as possible!
Or more like GM vs. Super GM? Judit Polgar at her peak may have had a better chance. Anand's been world no. 1 by ranking, and even while that didn't last for as long as his predecessors, he's been in the top ten for the better part of his career.
Not just no need, if rook give check then promote, white looses the game. 1. Qxf8 Kxf8 2. Rd8 Ke7 3. c8Q Qxd8! There is no checkmate and black up a pawn. There are lot of miss calculation by Agadmator, but i do like the channel and see every video! :) ( maybe draw, b5 pawn will be fall)
What a cowardly play by hou yifan constantly trying to exchange pieces and hoping for the best despite not winning a single game ! What's she got to lose if she went all out attacking, it's not as if she didn't lose so many games already in the tournament but atleast it would have been a learning experience for her & entertaining for her fans too ! But no, she tries to draw with this passive play 🙄 Honey, it's Vishy Anand with the White pieces. He's gonna eat you alive no matter what you do, so why not try something different than what he's already expecting ?
I've been watching a lot of your videos over the last week and I have to say sweet I've played chess for 8 years and it's just making want to keep playing cheers
No sir not "weak players", but because she was paired with women in 7/10 games in a male dominated tournament, which incidentally was also last years' Gibraltar open.
On move no.7 Rb1 is played in view of 7...cxd4 8.cxd4-Bb4+ 9.Bd2-Bxd2+ exchanging too many pieces only helps black this idea wasn't mentioned in the video.
Hi Agadmator, thanks for all you videos which are so informative.. I am learning a lot through your videos. Request you to please analyze a few games from the challengers as well, I am sure there must be some interesting games from there as well... Thanks!
In the explanation for the final position...after Qxf8+ Kxf8...why Rd8? why not c8=Q? it looks to me c8=Q Qd8(only move) Qxd8# In fact, it looks to me Rd8 does not win....since Ke7 and if c8=Q now then Qxd8 and the queen on d8 is defended by the king.
8:40 Its blacks turn......why not capture the pawn with the rook Black: Rxc7 White: Rxc7 Black: Qxc7 Its a queen pawn endgame with 2 to 1 pawn advantage on the queen side..... probably winning for black.
I dont understand why you showed this game, Yifan just traded down and played extremely passive for a draw... Edit: Still loved the commentary and vid though, keep up the awsome work!
I don't know what is happening to her, I understand that she is frustrated with all the situation with female chess and the incompetence of FIDE but her game is not what it used to be. Of course, this is TATA and it's a super strong tournament. The issue is the blunder.
Bora: You are a frustrated misogynist. Plus ignorance. I have not done any reference to Gibraltar. It's true that she was in the bad in that occasion. Example, just one, of FIDE incompetency: The Women's World Chess Championship. It's incredible that they were unable to find any other country willing to host the championship.
if rook give check the game will be draw or yifan will won this.Pawn will gonna fall after giving check by rook.this yifan mistake to regained the game after rook gives a check or this is miss-calculation of Agadamator🤔
Hou Yifan is not an occupational chess player. She is a student in Oxford university. She has her own major and all score is excellent . She spend a lots time on study(not chess) . Her practice time is much less then chess players. After a few years，she will stop play world game and start her new life. She is a good example for kids.
I see lots kids play chess is an addiction. They are very smart kids. They able to be a Doctor, engineer, scientist. But they are loser after 20 years old. One of them is rate 2400 player, his job is chef. He spend time on chess not study. Yifan is doing the right her future are different.
as much as i enjoy chess i agree that if you are very smart, you should do something more useful for your family, friends, and people around you. imagine if a genius like carlsen became scientist instead of chess player, he could have invented a new theory, technology, or anything that could potentially change humans life. remember when einstein developed his theory of relativity, other scientists were like "wow this theory is sophisticated, brilliant, and all, but what could we hope from this theory?". who would have guessed? gps is just one application of that theory. i believe top GMs are naturally very intelligent and i thank them for showing good chess games. but to be honest, they kinda "wasted" their brain potential by dedicating all their thoughts on just a game. they could have accomplished more important things for better civilization.
yifan resigned after queen moves actually Agmadator calculation is totally wrong in this videos if anand captured the rook and yifan captured by her king then if anand gives check by rook yifan can easily escape in this case anand loses his one pwan but i think a after anand move his queen he surely took yifan rook after that black queen have to captured then anand will promote his pawn he didn't give check by his rook if he do he loose his pawn😄😄😄so yifan have to cover checks with her king after that yifan no need to regained the match its all over😂😂😂calculation is wrong but i likes and loves your all videos☺️☺️☺️
Darren Hughes Antonio doesn’t actually trash players, nor is he biased towards a player. That’s what I love about this channel, the focus is on the chess, not on useless things like nationality or gender.
There was a check mate chance by yifan at 5.23. Just sacrifse queen at that time by capturing pawn and if anand capture queen simply capture the second rook and its a check mate
Anand would never fall for that. If the black queen captures the pawn on c6, which I assume is what you mean, rook captures on d8 would win a rook for white.
"What's the idea behind b5? I have no idea" agadmator 2018 :)
for centre
I know I am kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online?
"What's the idea behind b5?"
"I have no idea"
I love these recent Anand games... He seems to play more freely and without any heed to convention :)
If you remove vishy's wig you can see the stockfish engine is connected to his brain.
she did protest for being matched with weak opponents....
well here you go yifan play with the boys
Laylo hahahaha I didnt know that she said that
She’s been walking out on women’s tournaments because she says women are too weak . So she got what she asked for
Always that smiling face of anand 😬
At 1:27, the reason Anand goes for 7.Rb1 is because he wants to guard the b4 square. If he plays some other move and doesn't protect that square, then Yifan will play bxc4. And after bxc4 recapture, black will play Bb4+ and the dark square bishops will get exchanged. Anand wants to keep more pieces on the board for attacking options.
average centipawn loss for anand was 10 no inaccuracies, no mistakes and no blunders! thats stockfish level chess
Aniket Bramhankar I mean those are some inhuman stats but it's not quite stockfish. If you think about it, that means at 10 moves he would be a pawn behind stockfish, at 20 he would be 2 pawns behind, etc
Anand is Anand...

I still have no clue what the idea behind a women league is
There is no cognitive difference between females and males right ?
But still the women get trashed most of the time
Can someone explain me why
Maybe there is a cognitive difference between men and women?
Shreyas Bhatt Thats what everyone should do, is not something impresive
Anthony i doubt that
The Raven m.th-cam.com/video/ZHFZOXiM9SM/w-d-xo.html
I kindly ask you to keep misogyny out of the chess community
it amazes me how even when both sides have the same pieces, there can still be an overwhelming advantage for one side just from position. I am going to remember to keep my opponent pieces pinned as much as possible!
I wonder if she will complain about the pairings system again lol
It's like watching a NM play against a GM. She's simply not good enough to take on the likes of Anand.
Or more like GM vs. Super GM? Judit Polgar at her peak may have had a better chance. Anand's been world no. 1 by ranking, and even while that didn't last for as long as his predecessors, he's been in the top ten for the better part of his career.
"Hou will she fair against the former world champion?" - I see what you did there.
Debasish Ray Chawdhuri Very original.
09:16
Agad there is no need for rook to give check, simply promote pawn to queen. Queen gives check, and black queen blocks, its game over! :)
Not just no need, if rook give check then promote, white looses the game. 1. Qxf8 Kxf8 2. Rd8 Ke7 3. c8Q Qxd8! There is no checkmate and black up a pawn. There are lot of miss calculation by Agadmator, but i do like the channel and see every video! :) ( maybe draw, b5 pawn will be fall)
Dénes Tomek i agree on this this is yifan mistake to regained the game or this Agadmator mistake to show all clearly but i like all his videos😄
Vishy is like a chess veteran
Hi
Can you make a video on bobby fischer vs james sherwin 1957 us chess championship?
Anand vs Kramnik Tata steel chess master 2018 #suggestion please. I want to know what went wrong.
What a cowardly play by hou yifan constantly trying to exchange pieces and hoping for the best despite not winning a single game ! What's she got to lose if she went all out attacking, it's not as if she didn't lose so many games already in the tournament but atleast it would have been a learning experience for her & entertaining for her fans too ! But no, she tries to draw with this passive play 🙄 Honey, it's Vishy Anand with the White pieces. He's gonna eat you alive no matter what you do, so why not try something different than what he's already expecting ?
Dr. MG M trading pieces and you say she's cowardly. Lulz
Didn't know Vish was a cannibal
Cory Goodman She did get eaten alive🤔🤔
I've been watching a lot of your videos over the last week and I have to say sweet I've played chess for 8 years and it's just making want to keep playing cheers
So much for complaining against the pairings Hou Yifan. Not cool.
Abhishek she protested in another tournament for being matched with "weak opponents"
So here she is, playing with the real boys
No sir not "weak players", but because she was paired with women in 7/10 games in a male dominated tournament, which incidentally was also last years' Gibraltar open.
Damn Anand is a Genius!! Although such moves aren’t superhard to find, but Anand just crushes people positionally giving them Fuckin No Chance!!!!
I just like your videos...just amazing
I like the way you explain the game
8:52 Rd8 by white after black plays Rf8 would actually be a terrible blunder. The correct move is c8=Q.
If there is a 3 person tie do they play 3 player chess for the tie break?
Vat19 has entered the chat
at 7:26 whats the problem with Qe6 offering yet again the exchange of queens?
fernando sardenberg Rd8+?
Rd8+, i guess
maybe 1.Rd8, Rxd8 2.Qxd8+, Kh7 3.Qd3+ (to avoid a posible perpetual), g6 4.c7, Qc8 5. Qd8... and the pawn will promote
Every time , I am waiting for your video.... I am from Bangladesh... Agadmator, please come to Bangladesh ..... Miss you brother...
On move no.7 Rb1 is played in view of 7...cxd4 8.cxd4-Bb4+ 9.Bd2-Bxd2+ exchanging too many pieces only helps black this idea wasn't mentioned in the video.
Ahadamator Show us the game anand vs kramnik in this tournament
Hi Agadmator, thanks for all you videos which are so informative.. I am learning a lot through your videos. Request you to please analyze a few games from the challengers as well, I am sure there must be some interesting games from there as well... Thanks!
#suggestion grow a moustache
Hoe Yifan is my favourite female chess player.
Will you post the Giri match from today? Caruana v Giri, do you think Caruana should have played Rg5 on move 31/32?
She clearly was afraid of Anand...Who wouldn't be though
Hey Agad! Thanks for the coverage. I think the point of Rb1 is to prevent Bb4+ after ...cxd4
the only game that agad starts telling stories about a player and this player actually lost
Ur dog is Soo cute... Amazing
a strong player is always lucky
Alpha Gamer capablanca
indeed it's Jose Raul Capablanca's quote
Bharat Mata Ki Jai 🇮🇳
In the explanation for the final position...after Qxf8+ Kxf8...why Rd8? why not c8=Q? it looks to me c8=Q Qd8(only move) Qxd8# In fact, it looks to me Rd8 does not win....since Ke7 and if c8=Q now then Qxd8 and the queen on d8 is defended by the king.
Swarnendu Sil I agree, that's probably what he meant. There's no forced checkmate with Rd8+
Hello Agadmaor. Nice video. But It would be better if you would show the standings of Tata Steel Cheess.
#question Where are the translations?? Can I add caption for an alternative language and make it public?
Qxf8 in the last position is a blunder? Kxf8, Td8+ Ke2, and the queen is eyeing the tower with the king
What if you capture c7 with rook on 8:37? Am I missing something?
Rd8#
mate on the back row
Rook to d8 is check mate
Yes. Rd8 mate.
If Vishy plays QxRf8 and Yifan captures with KxQf8 there is no way he would play Rd8+ and oversee c8=Q+
Tata steel is too much for hou yifan.. n wtf with karjakin?? the draw master
8:40
Its blacks turn......why not capture the pawn with the rook
Black: Rxc7
White: Rxc7
Black: Qxc7
Its a queen pawn endgame with 2 to 1 pawn advantage on the queen side..... probably winning for black.
"fortune favors the strong"
been watching imaqtpie i see
I dont understand why you showed this game, Yifan just traded down and played extremely passive for a draw...
Edit: Still loved the commentary and vid though, keep up the awsome work!
5:14 its not an offer to exchange rooks as hou yifan can capture queen after vishy captures rook on d8
I was also thinking the same
QC3 doesnt work in last move??
What about White playing Rd7 earlier at 5:50 ?
black queen captures white queen and continue
I don't know what is happening to her, I understand that she is frustrated with all the situation with female chess and the incompetence of FIDE but her game is not what it used to be. Of course, this is TATA and it's a super strong tournament. The issue is the blunder.

What is Anands current rating?
2778.0
A mand has no rating ;)
2778
Coolest pawn in history?
English opening... again? WHYY
Why does your dog never bark ?
The dog has Buddha soul.
VITA kyo because he is a good boy
@7:26 what about Qe6
Moh Taw
Qe6
Rd8+
Rcxd8
Qd8+
then simply push your pawn 2 times for a queen..
Wouldn't that allow white to go for rook d8, retake with queen and promoting the pawn or at least winning the black queen?
Munzu I didn't understand what are you telling.. can u please write the moves.,,,, so I can help you
No I meant the same thing as you, your comment just didn't appear on my screen yet because I had the tab open before you commented.
Munzu okk.so any doubt left?
4:41 Rook d7 is winning for white right???
exactly
aditya sai simply rook f to c8 and no one can make progress
why didn't she capture pawn at c7 at 8:40 ??
1...Rc7 2. Rd8 mate or 1...Qc7 2. Rc7 losing the queen. If 1...Qa2 then 2.Rd8 with mate to follow.
By capturing c7 by Black Rook -- Anand's Rook D8 is checkmate
or
By capturing c7 by Black Queen -- Black simply lose the queen and the game.
Will you show us a draw? Pick an interesting one!
On 9:12 after Qxf8; Kxf8 simply promoting wins faster
it's like she gave up.
That poor gurl is getting humiliated by one after another
Whiz Whiz
A bukkake you mean.
what's the idea I have no idea very honest
8:43 why not Rxc7?
Levan Lomouri then it is checkmate in one
Then comes #Rd8
if rook give check the game will be draw or yifan will won this.Pawn will gonna fall after giving check by rook.this yifan mistake to regained the game after rook gives a check or this is miss-calculation of Agadamator🤔
fortis fortuna adiovat
0:50 Hou will she?
Hou Yifan is not an occupational chess player. She is a student in Oxford university. She has her own major and all score is excellent . She spend a lots time on study(not chess) . Her practice time is much less then chess players. After a few years，she will stop play world game and start her new life. She is a good example for kids.
大屎纠正 A good example? Are you trying to say that dedicate your life to something that you love like chess is not a good example? come on
I see lots kids play chess is an addiction. They are very smart kids. They able to be a Doctor, engineer, scientist. But they are loser after 20 years old. One of them is rate 2400 player, his job is chef. He spend time on chess not study. Yifan is doing the right her future are different.
大屎纠正 So spending time on things you enjoy makes you a loser?

🙏
5.17 queen captures pawn?
Rook captures on d8. Trading a pawn for a rook is not the best idea.
you drop the rook
lol yifan played like a rookie....she just wanted to exchanged everything...no plans was there.....there was many counter option....
I just finished chess game
how many of you checked your phone twice at 1.25
Probably ____Yifan will Retire 😂😂
Let's gooooooo
yifan played like a noob
*"You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction."* __George Lorimer
Dont get why trashing caruana was necessary
he didnt trash.
Bora Bosna Thank you thats what i thought
Darren Hughes Antonio doesn’t actually trash players, nor is he biased towards a player. That’s what I love about this channel, the focus is on the chess, not on useless things like nationality or gender.
they host chess tournaments in kitchens now?
Joel Gibson Haha you are so funny 😕
2018 bro
Joel Gibson No, but dishwashers play chess too
Wow, I was not expecting such a mean-spirited remark on such a nice channel. What a shame.
couldn't help myself. please continue on with your daily scheduled broadcast
dont forget to check my previous ex wives 😀😀
There was a check mate chance by yifan at 5.23. Just sacrifse queen at that time by capturing pawn and if anand capture queen simply capture the second rook and its a check mate
nilesh chaudhary you lose a rook mate, he doesn't capture the queen but both rooks
nilesh chaudhary queen captures queen youll end up with a rook against queen and 1 pawn up losing position
Anand would never fall for that. If the black queen captures the pawn on c6, which I assume is what you mean, rook captures on d8 would win a rook for white.
u will loose black rook see through bro
Second
First
am i the only one who thinks Anand is playing boring? 😑
yes you are
ser cem yes
Yes u r
Then what is the game Tal had played?
