First offering an exchange sacrifice and then a pawn, Pragg channeled his inner Fischer. Berkes is a very strong player, and testing him with sacrifices takes a lot of guts. Berkes ignored the first offer but fell for the second one, and the rest is history.

Interesting etymology. I may be wrong but my understanding is that "prAjJa" (with the longer A - a taddhita derivation) would be "intellectual", "wise man" etc. Whereas "prajJa" simply means "intellect", "awareness" and in the context of this name, a more appropriate meaning would be "consciousness"; viz., the name is a variant of the more common "chidAnanda". ok, end of detour. Let us enjoy the chess.
If you told me that the combination in the middle game was by an old master, I will have believed it. It's just beautiful. It's a candidate for the beauty price.
I've been a fan of Pragg's for many years now. What a ride it's been and what a happy life. He never lets us fans down. Yes, he's human and he sometimes makes mistakes (just like all of us), but he keeps delivering one incredible surprise after the other. I don't think there's any other player like him.
While most of the players from India seem to have a positional style, Pragg is the one that can base his play on whatever the position calls for. Tactical or positional. He seems to handle dynamic tactical positions better than any of them and I think that's why I see him having the biggest upside as compared to the other really good players. Even if he doesn't make the candidates this tournament, you can tell that it's not that far off a feat for him to potentially obtain. He's probably the one player from India that has a style closer to Anand's than any of them.
Great comment.. however Gukesh is extremely creative as well. Some of his suboptimal moves prove to be most optimal towards the end of the game. Arjun and Nihal are very positional. I regard Guki highly as I do Pragg. All 4 are truly bound to become great players.
No man! U r ryt! He just breezed into the WC final agnst Magnus after defeating Caruana on his b'day.. N now after drawing the 1st two games, its an exciting tie break now.. As on 24th Aug, 7:45Am(IST). ❤
U explaind him nicely.. Good job bro! I am gonna use this "comment" at various places n make them think i am a chess whiz! 😂😂😂 Lemee see wt they think abt this..Lets go! Screenshot! 😊
Alex, whats ur fav opening agnst E4,B4 n agnstd4? N y? (PS.i am very eager to hear it. Its also a test to see if u have this Master comment copied from a place other than ur heart😂. Thx for the understanding, Alexie!)
@@FantasyFantasy934lmao hell nah, millions of games says that rooks is worth more because it covers more squares, however the position is king. So no, rooks are worth more by itself, but it depends on the position
Haha! Its natural.. We are just simple folks..n NOT chess wizkids here to see the intricacy of 39move chk mates.. But once i saw the idea of the knight sacrifice. I knew a mate was possible with that queen excelently placed n his rook there.. Its a piece of cake! But to actually make that rook offer n the nxt offer just like that with Pragg' come on confidence! Well, I must be atleast a vidit to understand that! ❤
This french setup was so weird... I've even uploaded the game and checked the database now... not really popular at the very top level. Kinda explains why. Deep in my bones it felt wrong, to give all that space for white while crowding your own pieces. Obviously I would never take advantage of those things, but I am not surprised this young brilliant mind of Prag's outplayed that so hard.
Agad says you'll see where Prag ends up putting his rook. And I'm thinking, lemme guess...his opponents back rank? And sure enough. I mean, Pragg's opponents REALLY need to do their homework on him and accept the fact that you CAN NOT let this guy infiltrate your back rank under any circumstance.
#suggestion Agadmator ,can you make a video about GM Aleksandar Matanovic , who passed away few days ago. He was very strong Yugoslavian and Serbian GM. He had some nice games ,hope you can make one video in his honour. #Suggestion
@@IgnotuspvI think he was just trying to point out that he had also been the under 18 world champion, just like his opponent had also achieved (Agad mentioned it at the beginning). Actually Pragg just turned 18 a few days ago.
In the line Agad analyses that starts with King E7 Agad says "Queen F3 threatens Queen F6 check". Is that right? The black Queen is defending th F6 square so Queen F6 check doesn't look that strong. But what Queen F3 does threaten is B5 (Antonio's favourite pawn advances again) threatening the rook and if e.g. Rook B6 then Bishop A3 check followed by Queen x F7 check and it's all over. No board here so I could be missing something. And it's only an analysis of a line that didn't happen. And yes, Pragg is amazing. There was a time when the Russian chess team could beat anyone. Looks as if India is taking over that role
@@Insertori mean thats a very average beginner level elo one casually gets after few years of playing anyways. If you said 1500+ Yeah that means you've learned a lot from the channel
@@Arda-dq4rt I think Im way above the average consider my experience in the game, I understand things quickly my brain likes to think so if u compare me to the average person im way above that.

ugh, I thought I saw the Tactic with NxH4 QxH4, RxC6 RxC6, RA1+ winning at least a rook or a queen, forgetting that the black king still has e7 to go to 😢
Gukesh D is actually younger and higher ranked than Pragg but the latter gets more attention I think because Pragg looks like he's 11 whereas Gukesh has a full beard

all these deep tactics that he just sees way before his opponent

Can't believe how much sacrifices pragg has gave in this tournament!
I thought the caption would be "Second night at the Opera"
Rook sacrificed twice,knight sacrifice, definitely an awesome performance
Prag nailed it. That pawn sacrifice was too cool.
Great calculation by Pragga 👍

Pragg makes engine moves. Pragg makes moves and I shake my head and look confused. 8:06 What would you play after Rc8? Would you find Nd5?
Pragg has some steely nerves to let the black queen in the side door with the pawn sacrifice. I shuddered.
God damn those endgame traps with the bishop these guys are soooo good!
Happy to see 4 Indian in the Quaterfinal

What about 52??
Lol that's very dumb tbh according to studies and observations on chess players they peak between the age of 35-40 😂😂..now how's that motivating

FUTURE WORLD CHAMP
In the line Agad analyses that starts with King E7 Agad says "Queen F3 threatens Queen F6 check". Is that right? The black Queen is defending th F6 square so Queen F6 check doesn't look that strong. But what Queen F3 does threaten is B5 (Antonio's favourite pawn advances again) threatening the rook and if e.g. Rook B6 then Bishop A3 check followed by Queen x F7 check and it's all over. No board here so I could be missing something. And it's only an analysis of a line that didn't happen.
And yes, Pragg is amazing. There was a time when the Russian chess team could beat anyone. Looks as if India is taking over that role
Oh man. White had total control. Excited to see quarterfinals
