I watched the organizers video of the event. This is being held in Karlsruhe Germany, about half an hour NW of Stuttgart. This made me nostalgic, for my wife and I and five year old son lived an hour south of Stuttgart in the early seventies, while I attended classes for a year at Tübingen University. I just played two games over the board last Sunday for the first time in several decades, with a fellow retiree who lives in the retirement community where I live. He and I have agreed to play at least once a week! He is a retired Professor of German, to boot. I plan to tell him to watch the TH-cam videos of Agadmator, they will improve his chess. He took one game, and I took the second, BTW.
@DarkKnightIndia What do you mean pointing by from behind the head, this commenter explained it clearly and also assured as a native speaker since Antonio didn't sound confident...
What's wrong with my unpopular view? Israel 🇮🇱 is a hero and is freeing Palestine 🇵🇸 from Hamas by doing the exact opposite of the g word everyone accused Israel of - Israel is actually the saviour of the Palestinians. Matthew 5:11 People argue if Israel is or isn't committing genocide, but I've never seen anyone argue that Israel is doing the exact OPPOSITE of genocide. So, well, I could be wrong. Israel won the 3rd arab war in 6 days, yet Hamas hasn't been beaten after months. I read if Israel didn't care about civilian casualties, even if they didn't nuke, then this war would've been over in weeks with hundreds of thousands in casualties. In the 1st Arab war, the Arabs were supposed to be the saviour of the (Arab) Palestinians from the evil UN partition plan. Looks like Israel has done a better job of saving Palestinians in the last few months than the Arabs did in the last 75 years. Israel saves the Palestinians - politically from a dictatorial regime that steals from them and - morally by dropping leaflets & providing aid & corridors which the ww2 allies never did in Dresden. Despite all the baseless accusations, the deaths incurred that they see on a daily basis and the ceasefire calls, Israel still perseveres in the prosecution of this war to defend not just Jews but Arabs and still provides aid instead of being spiteful like 'Oh you think we're evil after all the aid we've provided? Ok let's see how you like it when we turn off the aid.' Note: - Israel is condemned despite giving aid to the FOREIGN Palestinians. - No one cares when Hamas steals aid from its OWN people! I wonder if this magnanimity goes beyond Judaism. I don't recall anything as explicit as this in the old testament. Like Jesus takes a step further to say 'love your enemies.' Israel has no obligation to save the Palestinians who voted Hamas into power. Yet Israel does! I think this view might be unpopular because unfortunately Israel doesn't have that many vocal defenders who are non-Israeli & gentile, so Israel is just humbly saying as a matter of fact that they're not committing war crimes. They can't say further because if an Israeli or a Jew says so then it sounds arrogant (maybe like Numbers 12:3 if Numbers was written by Moses) - Israel is actually a SAVIOUR/HERO of the Palestinians - the exact OPPOSITE of a war criminal. Israel saves despite being reviled. This is exactly what Jesus did! Jews are more Christian than Christians! I mean look what Pope Francis has said and even HASN'T said about this situation. Disappointing. Tsk tsk. You'd think Pope Francis, who's read the new testament a million times while the Jews haven't, would bring this up but nada. Or if anyone's already seen a view like this then please tell me where I can read about it.
As an Hebrew speaker, I can confirm! Benoni is in Hebrew “בן אוני״. The origins of this phrase is actually from the Bible. בן - son, אוני - my grief, sadness Thank you for the great review and knowledge sharing, as always!
"Magnus defeated Rapport in round one with the black peaces. " Excuse me, as far as I remember Rapport defeated Magnus as your video shew it for us. Or I am wrong?
It is from the Bible, Genesis 35:16: "And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor. And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you shall have this son also. And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin."
Native Hebrew speaker here. I can confirm that it does mean "son of sorrow", albeit it took me by surprise. I had thought it was an Italian surname lol.
You are correct actually there was a writer that studied the opening I read he suffered from depression and he escaped his melancholy by delving into the chess opening which usually involves a pawn sacrifice the authors name was Aaron Reinganum
6 player double round robin => Each player will play the other twice (with different color each time), so as yesterday was round 6, the last mach yesterday was the first rematch.
The name Benoni is of Hebrew origin and means "son of my sorrow". It comes from the noun ben (son) and the noun 'wn (trouble or vigor). The verb 'wn can mean sorrow, but is most widely translated as "potency" or "vigor". In this light, Benoni could mean "son of my strength"
Benoni is "' son of sorrow" . He was named this name by his mother Rachel because she suffered when give birth and eventually die. But his father renamed him "Benjamin" which means "Son of my right hend" . Now day's Benjamin is very popular wich is understandable. Nice day 😊.
It Is the reason why steong players (over 2600) dont play benoni...strategic low opening....in this Game ,after Ra3 black Is in strategic list position....black dragon Is on f8...d6 pawn hurt very much....whow this Line Can be corection and normal for black....
Hi Agad! About your comment at 2:00- “Benoni in Hebrew means son of sorrow”, I’m an Israeli and Hebrew is my mother’s tongue. The direct translation of “Benoni” (same sound exactly) is “mediocre” 😂 Maybe it means “son of sorrow” in the bible (old Hebrew) but in modern Hebrew it just means “not too good, not too bad- it’s Benoni”
That’s probably true I don’t doubt you I had googled why the opening was called Benoni and Google came up with exact what Agadmator had said about the author Aaron Reinganum and there is reference to the Biblical son Benjamin whom was named as his mother was passing away she called him ‘Benoni’ son of my sorrow his father renamed him Benjamin’Son of my Stength’ or Son of my right arm ‘
Sorry mate, you have it wrong. Ben Oni (2 Hebrew words Ben = Son & Oni = sorrow). While u phonetically heard it as 1 word Beinoni which is in fact = mediocre. I like others was surprised.... always thought it was some Italian dude the great Agad has yet to tell us about. Thanks for the great content!
Benoni is medium/mediocre in hebrew. Ben-Oni, can be translated as either son of my own sorrow, or son of my own potency, depends on context. I'm a native Hebrew speaker.
What I can confirm is that (ben) means (son of) in Arabic, but I'm pretty sure that the origin of the name is not from Arabic, so this piece of information is useless 😅
Benoni (or "Ben-Oni") בֶּן־אוֹנִי is an ancient Hebrew name, still occasionally used, meaning "son of my sorrow". It is a reference to the Biblical account of the dying Rachel giving birth to Benjamin, whom she named Ben-Oni.(Genesis 35:18) wiki

@@moon4tzuyupokeonce41 Great question! They are indeed comparable people so I've always thought of them paired up for this list just like Magnus Vs Wesley, Bobby vs garry, hans vs Hikaru, et al. Actually, agad accepted 2 of my suggestions while levy blocked me on yt. So well I'm inclined to put agad on the good guys list. I've been thinking hard about levy & agad. So far I'm leaning towards levy evil & agad good, but I'm still undecided. Agad has unpopular political views just like many people on my good guys list, so probably agad's going on good guys list. I'm just waiting for the slightest bit of anti-Hans, Bobby, Wesley sentiment from Levy. So far I've seen Levy was very neutral in the Hans Vs Magnus thing and even criticised Magnus on some points despite that Levy is such a huge fan of Magnus... Actually levy explained on lex Fridman that bringing up Magnus a lot is part of playing the yt algorithm to clickbait people and that bringing up Magnus promotes other players. And I see that eg in 2022Sep when Levy reviewed the 2019 WFRCC. Levy praised Wesley So a lot. I've seen this kind of praise as well for Amin Tabatabaei, Arjun, et al. So idk. Maybe I'll end up comparing Agad with someone else and then levy with someone else. If you got any reasons to suggest their alignment then please share!
@@nicbentulan as far as I know, Agad was always mature and neutral about Hans vs Magnus case whereas Levi strongly favoured not Magnus but Hikaru (indirectly supporting Magnus) in the beginning. Later, he also sounded pretty much neutral. Other than that, I observed that both Levi and Antonio think greatly of Wesley So (heard both of them praise him many times at least when showing his games and at other times) And, To be honest, I am also more inclined towards Agad than Levi because of his personality and content. Hmmm, Like you said, maybe it's better to compare them seperately...
@@moon4tzuyupokeonce41 Thanks. But yeah the instant I hear the slightest bit of something negative from levy, they're both going on the list. XD Poll: Which anime character best suits 1 decade (2013 - 2023) reigning world chess champion Magnus Carlsen? --- Wesley So, Bobby Fischer & Hans Niemann have NEVER done ANY of the ff evil things in chess as adults.

Based on episode 1: Magnus Carlsen reveals to Wesley So that Magnus is actually Talentless, and that Magnus is killing Wesley before Wesley leads the other Talented to become the true Enemies of Chess.

(Well Miyuki might be an American resident if not ultimately an American citizen. Also, Miyuki is blond.) Wesley So is the top classical Fischer random chess player, and Bobby Fischer is the creator of Fischer random chess. More info: - 2d427ys5FrY Kaguya's chess strategy highly relies on opening prep. You can see Kaguya has a huge team of computers and seconds like what the Soviets had before. But Miyuki's chess strategy is largely about thinking on h feet. Bobby Fischer single-handedly ended Soviet domination of world chess championships in 1972. Similarly, Wesley So single-handedly ended Magnus' domination of world chess or Fischer random chess championships in 2019 (Fischer random chess by definition has no computers). Kaguya is greater, but Miyuki is more talented. This is what I was told in 2021 about why Wesley So's chessgames page is the top page in kibitzing : "He has some very ardent fans, mainly from his native Philippines I think. I get the feeling that when countries haven't had a history of producing elite sportsmen, they really gravitate to the ones which they do produce. For example, Salah's Egyptian fanbase is pretty infamous. On its own, it's pretty harmless. There was a period however, where a section of his fanbase tried to mark Carlsen down as Wesley's big enemy, saying that he only rose to the top because he was a 'pampered goldfish' who got invites to elite tournaments early on whereas Wesley had to face the 'barracudas' in open tournaments. Think that's died down though and when goldfish and barracuda are brought up, its more often in ironic fashion."

Actually it the name has double meaning. It was the name given to Benjamin by his mother Rachel. It could mean son of sorrow but it also means son of strength. Jacob Benjamins father actually named his son Ben=Son and Iamin written Jamin that means right as in the son of my strong hand the right hand.
Thank you again for your amazing comments and insights of the games. I don't know if it helps, but just to be precise: Benoni which in Hebrew is divided into two words - Ben Oni - means the son of my sorrow. Not just the son of sorrow.
I read the ‘Benoni’ opening got its name from an author Aaron Reinganum he studied and wrote about the opening which usually involves a pawn sacrifice by Black ‘Benoni’ does come from the Jewish language meaning ‘Son of Sorrow’ supposedly the Author Aaron suffered from Depression and to escape the melancholy he delved into studying and writing about the opening I wrote this before Agadmator actually said same thing because I saw where someone stated something on it so I looked it up
That meaning of Ben oni is actually writthen in the Holy Bible. It was given to him since the mother end up dying after giving birth to him. But then the father changed his name to Benjamin.
Guys I still don’t see why Rapport resigned,I mean am no expert chess player but if he had played Kh8 then Magnus played Qh7 there’s still no mate possible?
4th: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'.

2nd: I believe Wesley is still the classical WFRCC while Hikaru is just the rapid WFRCC. Q1 Why weren't the 'slow rapid' games in the 2019 wfrcc considered classical when they are 60min games and the minimum for classical is 60min? Q2 Why are the 2022 WFRCC games considered 'slow rapid', as in the same category for the 2019 wfrcc 60min games, when they are actually 32.5min games? What I understand is (0,10) = Blitz [10,60) = rapid [60,120) = classical but unrated if so and so conditions [120,infinity) = classical P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S.

In the description is a link to Agadmator's database of his videos, where you can search by player. Look at the total number of videos and then the total number of Magnus videos and do the percentage.
3rd: What's it like in a parallel universe where 9LX is standard chess, and Garry really is Garry chess? 1 - People are praising Wesley So, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Bobby Fischer & Anatoly Karpov. Agadmator & Levy are talking about Wesley & Nepo all day long. 2 - Garry really is Garry chess here. Switch Bobby & Garry dates of birth. (Bobby's last name here is probably Nemenyi.) Meanwhile Garry Kasparov invented something strange called 'chess1' aka 'Kasparov Deterministic' where you have only 1 SP. Garry quits the 1975 classical WCC Vs Anatoly Karpov, is arrested in Russia (instead of Japan), immigrates to Iceland and dies in 2008. 1975 is not a big loss. In fact, it's better because Bobby Fischer takes over. 1978 is Bobby vs Anatoly match of the century in Baguio, the Philippines! Idk what happens in 1981, but then 1984 Eugene Torre wins the candidates and faces Anatoly/Bobby! In 1976, I guess Eugene still beats Anatoly. Either Anatoly or Bobby. (Trivia: In our world, Eugene almost beat Bobby in 1992.) 3 - Bobby is still alive in 2024. Bobby, Anatoly, Sergey Karjakin, Wesley, Nepo are on Lex Fridman's podcast while Magnus, Garry & Hikaru aren't. 4 - In the 2019 inaugural world Kasparov Deterministic chess championship (WKDCC), Magnus beats Wesley in 3 classical chess1 games in a row in but no one cares. Fabi is still the top 4 in the 2019 world chess1 championship but the top3 is now Liren. Nepo has never played a chess1 game, just as in our world Liren has never played a recorded 9LX game before 2024Feb. 5 - Wesley/Nepo doesn't quit the 2023 classical WCC. Nepo/Wesley wins 2022 candidates and no one cares about Liren. Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi is the biggest rivalry in chess, far exceeding as well as succeeding the next biggest rivalry Bobby Fischer vs Anatoly Karpov, like Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad. Wesley, & Nepo are both considered GOATs along with Bobby & Anatoly. There's no distinction between GOAT & MTOAT. There's a slight bias towards Wesley because Wesley is Bobby's nephew. 6 - Chess' popularity in the Philippines & Norway are inverted. 6a In our world, Bobby had radio interviews in the Philippines. In this world, Garry has radio interviews in Norway. 6b Then Prospero Pichay Jr is imprisoned and the Philippine chess federation is free from corruption. But Wesley is still American. Huhuhu. Oh, in this reality, Magnus' parents are evil and then Magnus gets adopted by religious parents who are friends of Garry, so it's like Magnus is Garry's nephew. The 2019 WKDCC is still like a pseudo - Bobby vs Garry, and it's billed as battle of thei nephews. 7 - But still no one actually really cares about chess1 because no one wants to have a headache over studying the same boring SP again and again. Also its top players Magnus & Garry are still cheaters. But well ok maybe in rapid & blitz chess1 is picking up. (Same as our world. Fiiiine Magnus is right about keeping regular chess for rapid & blitz.) So there's still a 2022 rapid world chess1 championship, half a century after the 1972 REGULAR match of the century. This time Hans Niemann wins beating Hikaru Nakamura on tiebreaks. This time Hikaru accuses Hans, but Hans still sues both Hikaru & Magnus. Ches***m is not sued and is just as good as lichess. Hans is still considered the next Bobby Fischer / Anatoly Karpov while Wesley & Nepo are still considered the current Bobby / Anatoly. 8 - In 2024Feb, FIDE still cancel their 2024 WKDCC, but Wesley & Nepo host a rapid chess1 championship but don't invite Magnus & Liren. Hans isn't a cheater but has still has beef with St Louis Chess Club and so doesn't play that due to scheduling conflicts, but Magnus & Hans are still going to eventually defend the, resp, classical & rapid world chess1 championships. 9 - In general, chess doesn't have that many cheaters, cheating incidents, baseless accusations, etc and has very little corruption, discrimination, treason, politics, etc. FIDE is hailed as 1 of the cleanest sports/gaming organisations. Chess is an olympic sport. Bobby/Anatoly are FIDE officials. 10 - Tiebreaks are settled by armageddon w/ auction rather than lower time controls, so Sergey & Fabi still lose to Wesley/Nepo in resp 2016 & 2018. But no one calls for change of tiebreaks to rapid time controls. Lol. Also, pre-arranged draws are so rare. 11 - Sergey isn't banned because Sergey only privately supports Putin because chess doesn't make people go insane unless they the players want to stick to 1 SP only, like Garry. 12 - Actually here, Bobby has very neutral feminist enlightened political views and is a true patriotic Jew & American ( in politics in addition to still being such a patriot in chess ) while respectfully criticising both US & Israel along side condemning Osama bin Laden / Al-Qaeda & Ismail Haniyeh / Hamas. So Bobby is still against Iraq invasion. 13 - Most importantly, no one cares about Garry, Magnus, Hikaru or Liren. Specifically, in this world, they care less about them as compared to Wesley, Nepo, Bobby & Anatoly in our world. 14 - Paradise. --- Ok back to reality: --- PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's (rapid WFRCC) WIFE vs Wesley's (classical WFRCC) GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

What's wrong with my unpopular view? Israel 🇮🇱 is a hero and is freeing Palestine 🇵🇸 from Hamas by doing the exact opposite of the g word everyone accused Israel of - Israel is actually the saviour of the Palestinians. Matthew 5:11 People argue if Israel is or isn't committing genocide, but I've never seen anyone argue that Israel is doing the exact OPPOSITE of genocide. So, well, I could be wrong. Israel won the 3rd arab war in 6 days, yet Hamas hasn't been beaten after months. I read if Israel didn't care about civilian casualties, even if they didn't nuke, then this war would've been over in weeks with hundreds of thousands in casualties. In the 1st Arab war, the Arabs were supposed to be the saviour of the (Arab) Palestinians from the evil UN partition plan. Looks like Israel has done a better job of saving Palestinians in the last few months than the Arabs did in the last 75 years. Israel saves the Palestinians - politically from a dictatorial regime that steals from them and - morally by dropping leaflets & providing aid & corridors which the ww2 allies never did in Dresden. Despite all the baseless accusations, the deaths incurred that they see on a daily basis and the ceasefire calls, Israel still perseveres in the prosecution of this war to defend not just Jews but Arabs and still provides aid instead of being spiteful like 'Oh you think we're evil after all the aid we've provided? Ok let's see how you like it when we turn off the aid.' Note: - Israel is condemned despite giving aid to the FOREIGN Palestinians. - No one cares when Hamas steals aid from its OWN people! I wonder if this magnanimity goes beyond Judaism. I don't recall anything as explicit as this in the old testament. Like Jesus takes a step further to say 'love your enemies.' Israel has no obligation to save the Palestinians who voted Hamas into power. Yet Israel does! I think this view might be unpopular because unfortunately Israel doesn't have that many vocal defenders who are non-Israeli & gentile, so Israel is just humbly saying as a matter of fact that they're not committing war crimes. They can't say further because if an Israeli or a Jew says so then it sounds arrogant (maybe like Numbers 12:3 if Numbers was written by Moses) - Israel is actually a SAVIOUR/HERO of the Palestinians - the exact OPPOSITE of a war criminal. Israel saves despite being reviled. This is exactly what Jesus did! Jews are more Christian than Christians! I mean look what Pope Francis has said and even HASN'T said about this situation. Disappointing. Tsk tsk. You'd think Pope Francis, who's read the new testament a million times while the Jews haven't, would bring this up but nada.

I watched the organizers video of the event. This is being held in Karlsruhe Germany, about half an hour NW of Stuttgart. This made me nostalgic, for my wife and I and five year old son lived an hour south of Stuttgart in the early seventies, while I attended classes for a year at Tübingen University. I just played two games over the board last Sunday for the first time in several decades, with a fellow retiree who lives in the retirement community where I live. He and I have agreed to play at least once a week! He is a retired Professor of German, to boot. I plan to tell him to watch the TH-cam videos of Agadmator, they will improve his chess. He took one game, and I took the second, BTW.
Prima!
Don't give your opponent too many tips, though.
Native Hebrew speaker here - Benoni in one word in hebrew means - Average/Medium/Not special. Ben Oni (two words) in Hebrew is in fact Son of sorrow.
@DarkKnightIndia What do you mean pointing by from behind the head, this commenter explained it clearly and also assured as a native speaker since Antonio didn't sound confident...
@@DarkKnightIndia What does that suppose to mean?
& what about Be noni?

What's wrong with my unpopular view?
Israel 🇮🇱 is a hero and is freeing Palestine 🇵🇸 from Hamas by doing the exact opposite of the g word everyone accused Israel of - Israel is actually the saviour of the Palestinians.
Matthew 5:11
People argue if Israel is or isn't committing genocide, but I've never seen anyone argue that Israel is doing the exact OPPOSITE of genocide. So, well, I could be wrong.
Israel won the 3rd arab war in 6 days, yet Hamas hasn't been beaten after months. I read if Israel didn't care about civilian casualties, even if they didn't nuke, then this war would've been over in weeks with hundreds of thousands in casualties.
In the 1st Arab war, the Arabs were supposed to be the saviour of the (Arab) Palestinians from the evil UN partition plan. Looks like Israel has done a better job of saving Palestinians in the last few months than the Arabs did in the last 75 years.
Israel saves the Palestinians
- politically from a dictatorial regime that steals from them and
- morally by dropping leaflets & providing aid & corridors which the ww2 allies never did in Dresden.
Despite all the baseless accusations, the deaths incurred that they see on a daily basis and the ceasefire calls, Israel still perseveres in the prosecution of this war to defend not just Jews but Arabs and still provides aid instead of being spiteful like 'Oh you think we're evil after all the aid we've provided? Ok let's see how you like it when we turn off the aid.'
Note:
- Israel is condemned despite giving aid to the FOREIGN Palestinians.
- No one cares when Hamas steals aid from its OWN people!
I wonder if this magnanimity goes beyond Judaism. I don't recall anything as explicit as this in the old testament. Like Jesus takes a step further to say 'love your enemies.' Israel has no obligation to save the Palestinians who voted Hamas into power. Yet Israel does!
I think this view might be unpopular because unfortunately Israel doesn't have that many vocal defenders who are non-Israeli & gentile, so Israel is just humbly saying as a matter of fact that they're not committing war crimes. They can't say further because if an Israeli or a Jew says so then it sounds arrogant (maybe like Numbers 12:3 if Numbers was written by Moses) - Israel is actually a SAVIOUR/HERO of the Palestinians - the exact OPPOSITE of a war criminal.
Israel saves despite being reviled. This is exactly what Jesus did! Jews are more Christian than Christians! I mean look what Pope Francis has said and even HASN'T said about this situation. Disappointing. Tsk tsk.
You'd think Pope Francis, who's read the new testament a million times while the Jews haven't, would bring this up but nada.
Or if anyone's already seen a view like this then please tell me where I can read about it.
As an Hebrew speaker, I can confirm! Benoni is in Hebrew “בן אוני״. The origins of this phrase is actually from the Bible.
בן - son, אוני - my grief, sadness
Thank you for the great review and knowledge sharing, as always!
"Magnus defeated Rapport in round one with the black peaces. "
Excuse me, as far as I remember Rapport defeated Magnus as your video shew it for us. Or I am wrong?
@@PS-mh8ts even agadmator made a video about that game....🤣🤣🤣
You are correct. Rapport defeated Magnus in round one...
Antonio is just making sure that we pay attention
Sorry about that.
It is from the Bible, Genesis 35:16: "And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor. And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you shall have this son also. And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin."
Native Hebrew speaker here. I can confirm that it does mean "son of sorrow", albeit it took me by surprise. I had thought it was an Italian surname lol.
I know its not its place here but ur gov are war criminals and making a colony outta Palestine
Its a war crime and ur all participating in it
You are correct actually there was a writer that studied the opening I read he suffered from depression and he escaped his melancholy by delving into the chess opening which usually involves a pawn sacrifice the authors name was Aaron Reinganum
"I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow" by the Soggy Bottom Boys. They played the Benoni constantly I suppose.
What?! Rapport defeated Magnus in the first round 😂
This is a double round robin
6 player double round robin => Each player will play the other twice (with different color each time), so as yesterday was round 6, the last mach yesterday was the first rematch.
He means the Agad said Magnus beat Rapport in Round 1, which isn’t true. See 0:11.
@@ryandye6383 ah I missed that, thanks
Duh, where have u been? Living under a rock? 😂
Keymar-Fridmann was also really interesting. Really showed that Vincent biggest weakness isn't skill related. #suggestion
Vinny K just needs a leather jacket and a bad-azz haircut, and he’ll be unstoppable!! 🤣🤣
Is Benoni any good at the top level? Depends on which side Magnus plays it.
The name Benoni is of Hebrew origin and means "son of my sorrow". It comes from the noun ben (son) and the noun 'wn (trouble or vigor). The verb 'wn can mean sorrow, but is most widely translated as "potency" or "vigor". In this light, Benoni could mean "son of my strength"
I feel sorrow every time I get crammed in with black in a Benoni structure. It already feels like an eventual loss.
Between you, Rosen and Gotham, these episodes are treasure.
didnt rapport win in first round?
Double round robin
I enjoy your commentary explanation more than the game😍
So whenever i see new videos i can't resist myself.
To be honest, this game is much better than the previous gamesby Magnus crlsen
Benoni is "' son of sorrow" . He was named this name by his mother Rachel because she suffered when give birth and eventually die. But his father renamed him "Benjamin" which means "Son of my right hend" . Now day's Benjamin is very popular wich is understandable. Nice day 😊.
#Suggestion
MVL vs Rapport, a crazy crazy French
It Is the reason why steong players (over 2600) dont play benoni...strategic low opening....in this Game ,after Ra3 black Is in strategic list position....black dragon Is on f8...d6 pawn hurt very much....whow this Line Can be corection and normal for black....
Hi Agad! About your comment at 2:00- “Benoni in Hebrew means son of sorrow”, I’m an Israeli and Hebrew is my mother’s tongue. The direct translation of “Benoni” (same sound exactly) is “mediocre” 😂
Maybe it means “son of sorrow” in the bible (old Hebrew) but in modern Hebrew it just means “not too good, not too bad- it’s Benoni”
That’s probably true I don’t doubt you I had googled why the opening was called Benoni and Google came up with exact what Agadmator had said about the author Aaron Reinganum and there is reference to the Biblical son Benjamin whom was named as his mother was passing away she called him ‘Benoni’ son of my sorrow his father renamed him Benjamin’Son of my Stength’ or Son of my right arm ‘
Sorry mate,
you have it wrong.
Ben Oni (2 Hebrew words Ben = Son & Oni = sorrow).
While u phonetically heard it as 1 word Beinoni which is in fact = mediocre.
I like others was surprised.... always thought it was some Italian dude the great Agad has yet to tell us about.
Thanks for the great content!
Every year Magnus dominates in a different opening/defence. From the English, Modern to the Benoni defence.
Benoni is medium/mediocre in hebrew. Ben-Oni, can be translated as either son of my own sorrow, or son of my own potency, depends on context. I'm a native Hebrew speaker.
Genesis 35:18
And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
What I can confirm is that (ben) means (son of) in Arabic, but I'm pretty sure that the origin of the name is not from Arabic, so this piece of information is useless 😅
Yeah maybe lot of cool footage,. but official commentators are impossible to listne because of awfull sound.
Kramnich finds this game interesting
So, it's not the best. - 6:30
Even though you can play this, it's perfectly fine the engine even says that it is the best. - 6:33
Magnus is a beast
“Son of sorrow” but what’s black’s primary source of sorrow?
I actually learnit that that the meaning of "Benoni" is "son of sorrow" from a channel called "hanging pawns" :) excellent thumbnails as well
i am in sorrow as well, perhaps i should learn benoni structure
Benoni (or "Ben-Oni") בֶּן־אוֹנִי is an ancient Hebrew name, still occasionally used, meaning "son of my sorrow". It is a reference to the Biblical account of the dying Rachel giving birth to Benjamin, whom she named Ben-Oni.(Genesis 35:18) wiki

How about Levi and Antonio, Are they Axis of Evil(?) or Allies of Evil(?)...?
@@moon4tzuyupokeonce41
Great question! They are indeed comparable people so I've always thought of them paired up for this list just like Magnus Vs Wesley, Bobby vs garry, hans vs Hikaru, et al.
Actually, agad accepted 2 of my suggestions while levy blocked me on yt. So well I'm inclined to put agad on the good guys list.
I've been thinking hard about levy & agad.
So far I'm leaning towards levy evil & agad good, but I'm still undecided. Agad has unpopular political views just like many people on my good guys list, so probably agad's going on good guys list.
I'm just waiting for the slightest bit of anti-Hans, Bobby, Wesley sentiment from Levy. So far I've seen Levy was very neutral in the Hans Vs Magnus thing and even criticised Magnus on some points despite that Levy is such a huge fan of Magnus... Actually levy explained on lex Fridman that bringing up Magnus a lot is part of playing the yt algorithm to clickbait people and that bringing up Magnus promotes other players. And I see that eg in 2022Sep when Levy reviewed the 2019 WFRCC. Levy praised Wesley So a lot. I've seen this kind of praise as well for Amin Tabatabaei, Arjun, et al.
So idk. Maybe I'll end up comparing Agad with someone else and then levy with someone else.
If you got any reasons to suggest their alignment then please share!
@@nicbentulan as far as I know, Agad was always mature and neutral about Hans vs Magnus case whereas Levi strongly favoured not Magnus but Hikaru (indirectly supporting Magnus) in the beginning. Later, he also sounded pretty much neutral.
Other than that, I observed that both Levi and Antonio think greatly of Wesley So (heard both of them praise him many times at least when showing his games and at other times)
And, To be honest, I am also more inclined towards Agad than Levi because of his personality and content.
Hmmm, Like you said, maybe it's better to compare them seperately...
@@moon4tzuyupokeonce41
Thanks. But yeah the instant I hear the slightest bit of something negative from levy, they're both going on the list. XD
Poll: Which anime character best suits 1 decade (2013 - 2023) reigning world chess champion Magnus Carlsen?
---
Wesley So, Bobby Fischer & Hans Niemann have NEVER done ANY of the ff evil things in chess as adults.
Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov & Hikaru Nakamura HAVE done EACH of the ff evil things in chess as adults.
Evil :
-Cheating
-Baseless accusations
-Discrimination (eg by cheating or baselessly accusing people mainly of a certain ethnicity or citizenship)
-Treason
Re treason:
- Magnus betrayed fellow Scandinavian-descent Hans by baselessly accusing Hans
- Hikaru betrayed fellow American Hans by baselessly accusing Hans.
- Garry betrayed 2 fellow Jews Judit Polgar & Alexei Shirov by cheating them.
---
Hikaru Nakamura is almost as evil as the Hikaru in Oshi no Ko. Magnus Carlsen is almost as evil as Light Yagami, Alejandro Ramirez & Vidkun Quisling.
A
Light Yagami from Death Note
- ALMOST as big a sore loser as Magnus Carlsen Vs Hans Niemann or Wesley So.
For Hans in particular, Magnus cheated Alexandra Kosteniuk, Alireza Firouzja, Danya Naroditsky & Ian Nepomniachtchi but then accused Hans of cheating. LOL. Light is a serial killer. But when did Light ever falsely accuse anyone else of crimes?

- a hypocritical cheater for cheating but then accusing Joey of cheating like Magnus Carlsen who cheated but then accused Hans Niemann of cheating.

- Alisher Suleymenov
- Alice Lee ( see PgHQdOocI84 )
C
Nana Hiiragi
- TALENTLESS like Magnus Carlsen
- A52UXLpplTw
for losing to Wesley So in the world Fischer Random chess championship in 3x classical games in a row DESPITE being then reigning 4x classical world chess champion.
- B35m2i_Drqc
(In chess, how good you are is a combination of opening theory & then talent after the opening is done. In chess960, there's no opening theory, so if you lose, then the only reason is talent. This makes Magnus TALENTLESS because h strength is 99.9% opening theory and 0.1% talent.)
Based on episode 1:
Magnus Carlsen reveals to Wesley So that Magnus is actually Talentless, and that Magnus is killing Wesley before Wesley leads the other Talented to become the true Enemies of Chess. As Wesley loses Wesley's grip and falls away, Magnus receives a text message claiming Magnus has saved one million people from 9LX.

Kaguya Shinomiya unlike Miyuki Shirogane from Kaguya-sama. More info:
- p1w4Rr-KR
Kaguya is a 'pampered goldfish' like Magnus, the top classical player. More info:
- p1w4Rr-ld
Miyuki 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American' like Beth Harmon, Wesley So, Bobby Fischer & Hans Niemann. (Well Miyuki might be an American resident if not ultimately an American citizen. Also, Miyuki is blond.) Wesley So is the top classical Fischer random chess player, and Bobby Fischer is the creator of Fischer random chess. More info:
- 2d427ys5FrY
Kaguya's chess strategy highly relies on opening prep. You can see Kaguya has a huge team of computers and seconds like what the Soviets had before.
But Miyuki's chess strategy is largely about thinking on h feet. Bobby Fischer single-handedly ended Soviet domination of world chess championships in 1972. Similarly, Wesley So single-handedly ended Magnus' domination of world chess or Fischer random chess championships in 2019 (Fischer random chess by definition has no computers).
Kaguya is greater, but Miyuki is more talented.
This is what I was told in 2021 about why Wesley So's chessgames page is the top page in kibitzing :
"He has some very ardent fans, mainly from his native Philippines I think. I get the feeling that when countries haven't had a history of producing elite sportsmen, they really gravitate to the ones which they do produce. For example, Salah's Egyptian fanbase is pretty infamous. On its own, it's pretty harmless. There was a period however, where a section of his fanbase tried to mark Carlsen down as Wesley's big enemy, saying that he only rose to the top because he was a 'pampered goldfish' who got invites to elite tournaments early on whereas Wesley had to face the 'barracudas' in open tournaments. Think that's died down though and when goldfish and barracuda are brought up, its more often in ironic fashion."

Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players?
Uncle Bobby Fischer: Filipino - My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random.
- 2004Oct11, 15 years before nephew Wesley So became the inaugural WFRCC in CLASSICAL time controls.
And it was at this time that Agad has reached an entirely new video
Actually it the name has double meaning. It was the name given to Benjamin by his mother Rachel. It could mean son of sorrow but it also means son of strength. Jacob Benjamins father actually named his son Ben=Son and Iamin written Jamin that means right as in the son of my strong hand the right hand.
Thank you again for your amazing comments and insights of the games. I don't know if it helps, but just to be precise: Benoni which in Hebrew is divided into two words - Ben Oni - means the son of my sorrow. Not just the son of sorrow.
Chess with Agad is awesome
I read the ‘Benoni’ opening got its name from an author Aaron Reinganum he studied and wrote about the opening which usually involves a pawn sacrifice by Black ‘Benoni’ does come from the Jewish language meaning ‘Son of Sorrow’ supposedly the Author Aaron suffered from Depression and to escape the melancholy he delved into studying and writing about the opening I wrote this before Agadmator actually said same thing because I saw where someone stated something on it so I looked it up
That meaning of Ben oni is actually writthen in the Holy Bible. It was given to him since the mother end up dying after giving birth to him. But then the father changed his name to Benjamin.
3:30 "So if you're a Benoni player and you play a6 hoping to play b5 next, never hope that, because it'll never happen."
Yeah "Benoni" was the name Rachel name Benjamin but Jacob changed it to Benjamin
you mean Jacob
@@pietersybesma4991 yh thanks
I am happy whenever my boss wins but Rapport and Dubov are always my modern day favourites including Firouzja.
Rename the channel as Magnus Carlsen Channel.
I hear that "Benoni" name for a few openings i was like damn this is probably one of the best player ever. Yet, I could never find anything on him.😅
Since he played the Benoni in previous game, he was ready to face the top variations against it. Rapport choose his oppening poorly.
Hey, what the thumbnail doing?
ben does mean "son of" that's for sure
MIHAIL MARIN IN HIS BOOK ON MODERN BENONI HAS MENTIONED THIS.FRANK MARSHALL WAS THE FIRST TO WORK ON THIS OPENING.LATER TAL USED THIS AS A WEAPON.

2nd: I believe Wesley is still the classical WFRCC while Hikaru is just the rapid WFRCC.
Q1
Why weren't the 'slow rapid' games in the 2019 wfrcc considered classical when they are 60min games and the minimum for classical is 60min?
Q2
Why are the 2022 WFRCC games considered 'slow rapid', as in the same category for the 2019 wfrcc 60min games, when they are actually 32.5min games?
What I understand is
(0,10) = Blitz
[10,60) = rapid
[60,120) = classical but unrated if so and so conditions
[120,infinity) = classical

*_THIS AGADMATOR GUY IS SUCH A FANBOY OF MAGNUS THAT NOW HE HAS EVEN STARTED TAKING WINS FROM OTHER PEOPLE😢😢😢😢😢_*
In the description is a link to Agadmator's database of his videos, where you can search by player. Look at the total number of videos and then the total number of Magnus videos and do the percentage.
It was obviously a mistake, and we all make them. Not everything or everybody must be defined by or with fanboys
In the first round Magnus lost to Rapport while playing black, so it's 1 - 1 not 2 - 0
3rd: What's it like in a parallel universe where 9LX is standard chess, and Garry really is Garry chess?
1 - People are praising Wesley So, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Bobby Fischer & Anatoly Karpov. Agadmator & Levy are talking about Wesley & Nepo all day long.
2 - Garry really is Garry chess here.
Switch Bobby & Garry dates of birth. (Bobby's last name here is probably Nemenyi.) Meanwhile Garry Kasparov invented something strange called 'chess1' aka 'Kasparov Deterministic' where you have only 1 SP. Garry quits the 1975 classical WCC Vs Anatoly Karpov, is arrested in Russia (instead of Japan), immigrates to Iceland and dies in 2008. 1975 is not a big loss. In fact, it's better because Bobby Fischer takes over. 1978 is Bobby vs Anatoly match of the century in Baguio, the Philippines! Idk what happens in 1981, but then 1984 Eugene Torre wins the candidates and faces Anatoly/Bobby! In 1976, I guess Eugene still beats Anatoly. Either Anatoly or Bobby. (Trivia: In our world, Eugene almost beat Bobby in 1992.)
3 - Bobby is still alive in 2024. Bobby, Anatoly, Sergey Karjakin, Wesley, Nepo are on Lex Fridman's podcast while Magnus, Garry & Hikaru aren't.
4 - In the 2019 inaugural world Kasparov Deterministic chess championship (WKDCC), Magnus beats Wesley in 3 classical chess1 games in a row in but no one cares. Fabi is still the top 4 in the 2019 world chess1 championship but the top3 is now Liren. Nepo has never played a chess1 game, just as in our world Liren has never played a recorded 9LX game before 2024Feb.
5 - Wesley/Nepo doesn't quit the 2023 classical WCC. Nepo/Wesley wins 2022 candidates and no one cares about Liren. Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi is the biggest rivalry in chess, far exceeding as well as succeeding the next biggest rivalry Bobby Fischer vs Anatoly Karpov, like Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad. Wesley, & Nepo are both considered GOATs along with Bobby & Anatoly. There's no distinction between GOAT & MTOAT. There's a slight bias towards Wesley because Wesley is Bobby's nephew.
6 - Chess' popularity in the Philippines & Norway are inverted.
6a
In our world, Bobby had radio interviews in the Philippines. In this world, Garry has radio interviews in Norway.
6b
Then Prospero Pichay Jr is imprisoned and the Philippine chess federation is free from corruption. But Wesley is still American. Huhuhu. Oh, in this reality, Magnus' parents are evil and then Magnus gets adopted by religious parents who are friends of Garry, so it's like Magnus is Garry's nephew. The 2019 WKDCC is still like a pseudo - Bobby vs Garry, and it's billed as battle of thei nephews.
7 - But still no one actually really cares about chess1 because no one wants to have a headache over studying the same boring SP again and again. Also its top players Magnus & Garry are still cheaters. But well ok maybe in rapid & blitz chess1 is picking up. (Same as our world. Fiiiine Magnus is right about keeping regular chess for rapid & blitz.) So there's still a 2022 rapid world chess1 championship, half a century after the 1972 REGULAR match of the century. This time Hans Niemann wins beating Hikaru Nakamura on tiebreaks. This time Hikaru accuses Hans, but Hans still sues both Hikaru & Magnus. Ches***m is not sued and is just as good as lichess. Hans is still considered the next Bobby Fischer / Anatoly Karpov while Wesley & Nepo are still considered the current Bobby / Anatoly.
8 - In 2024Feb, FIDE still cancel their 2024 WKDCC, but Wesley & Nepo host a rapid chess1 championship but don't invite Magnus & Liren. Hans isn't a cheater but has still has beef with St Louis Chess Club and so doesn't play that due to scheduling conflicts, but Magnus & Hans are still going to eventually defend the, resp, classical & rapid world chess1 championships.
9 - In general, chess doesn't have that many cheaters, cheating incidents, baseless accusations, etc and has very little corruption, discrimination, treason, politics, etc. FIDE is hailed as 1 of the cleanest sports/gaming organisations. Chess is an olympic sport. Bobby/Anatoly are FIDE officials.
10 - Tiebreaks are settled by armageddon w/ auction rather than lower time controls, so Sergey & Fabi still lose to Wesley/Nepo in resp 2016 & 2018. But no one calls for change of tiebreaks to rapid time controls. Lol. Also, pre-arranged draws are so rare.
11 - Sergey isn't banned because Sergey only privately supports Putin because chess doesn't make people go insane unless they the players want to stick to 1 SP only, like Garry.
12 - Actually here, Bobby has very neutral feminist enlightened political views and is a true patriotic Jew & American ( in politics in addition to still being such a patriot in chess ) while respectfully criticising both US & Israel along side condemning Osama bin Laden / Al-Qaeda & Ismail Haniyeh / Hamas. So Bobby is still against Iraq invasion.
13 - Most importantly, no one cares about Garry, Magnus, Hikaru or Liren. Specifically, in this world, they care less about them as compared to Wesley, Nepo, Bobby & Anatoly in our world.
14 - Paradise.

Ok back to reality:

PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner!
Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end.
It's Hikaru's (rapid WFRCC) WIFE vs Wesley's (classical WFRCC) GIRLFRIEND.

No one has notice that it's must be C instead of R in all these new videos lol ?
no, it's what they call slow rapid 45 + 5
I forget which video it was, but in one of them he says since it’s a slow rapid tournament he’s going to use classical ratings.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸

What's wrong with my unpopular view?
Israel 🇮🇱 is a hero and is freeing Palestine 🇵🇸 from Hamas by doing the exact opposite of the g word everyone accused Israel of - Israel is actually the saviour of the Palestinians.
Matthew 5:11
People argue if Israel is or isn't committing genocide, but I've never seen anyone argue that Israel is doing the exact OPPOSITE of genocide. So, well, I could be wrong.
Israel won the 3rd arab war in 6 days, yet Hamas hasn't been beaten after months. I read if Israel didn't care about civilian casualties, even if they didn't nuke, then this war would've been over in weeks with hundreds of thousands in casualties.
In the 1st Arab war, the Arabs were supposed to be the saviour of the (Arab) Palestinians from the evil UN partition plan. Looks like Israel has done a better job of saving Palestinians in the last few months than the Arabs did in the last 75 years.
Israel saves the Palestinians
- politically from a dictatorial regime that steals from them and
- morally by dropping leaflets & providing aid & corridors which the ww2 allies never did in Dresden.
Despite all the baseless accusations, the deaths incurred that they see on a daily basis and the ceasefire calls, Israel still perseveres in the prosecution of this war to defend not just Jews but Arabs and still provides aid instead of being spiteful like 'Oh you think we're evil after all the aid we've provided? Ok let's see how you like it when we turn off the aid.'
Note:
- Israel is condemned despite giving aid to the FOREIGN Palestinians.
- No one cares when Hamas steals aid from its OWN people!
I wonder if this magnanimity goes beyond Judaism. I don't recall anything as explicit as this in the old testament. Like Jesus takes a step further to say 'love your enemies.' Israel has no obligation to save the Palestinians who voted Hamas into power. Yet Israel does!
I think this view might be unpopular because unfortunately Israel doesn't have that many vocal defenders who are non-Israeli & gentile, so Israel is just humbly saying as a matter of fact that they're not committing war crimes. They can't say further because if an Israeli or a Jew says so then it sounds arrogant (maybe like Numbers 12:3 if Numbers was written by Moses) - Israel is actually a SAVIOUR/HERO of the Palestinians - the exact OPPOSITE of a war criminal.
Israel saves despite being reviled. This is exactly what Jesus did! Jews are more Christian than Christians! I mean look what Pope Francis has said and even HASN'T said about this situation. Disappointing. Tsk tsk.
You'd think Pope Francis, who's read the new testament a million times while the Jews haven't, would bring this up but nada.
Or if anyone's already seen a view like this then please tell me where I can read about it.
