A buddy of mine was in a chess club. His elo was around 1600, maybe a bit higher. We've played many games together, he taught me many things about chess, and he has won every time of course. I haven't seen him like since Chrismast 2016 or so, but last weekend we managed to get together for a couple of beers and a good barbeque. I've been watching your videos for 6 months now, and after 3 matches the result was 2 draws and 1 win for me. I guess, he wasn't playing at his best, but for me the 2 draws were like a win. The last game was a bit of a joke, but a win is still a win :D I just want to say, thanks for the enternaintment everyday, thx for the replays and analysis and keep up the good work (sorry for the bad english, i'm from Germany. I hope you'll get what i want to say)
Hey man, just wanted to congratulate you on the great work. I am one of those who dont subscribe as you said in one of your videos but with this game i am subscriving. Cheers
The person making the first move is Felix Magath, former german soccer player and coach. He was known for his hard training methods, which earned him the nickname "Quälix" (german "quälen" = to torture). Magath is a passionate chess player and took part in some simultaneous chess exhibitions (1985 against Kasparov and or 2016 against Carlsen). Here is his game against Kasparov: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.g3 c5 5.cxd5 Nxd5 6.Bg2 Sc6 7.0-0 cxd4 8.Nxd4 Be7 9.Nc3 0-0 10.Nxd5 exd5 11.Be3 Be6 12.Qd2 Lf6 13.Rac1 Rc8 14.Nxc6 bxc6 15.Bxa7 Qd7 16.Bc5 Rfe8 17.a4 Bh3 18.b4 Bxg2 19.Kxg2 Re5 20.f3 Rce8 21.Rf2 Qe6 22.Rc2 Rh5 23.a5 Bg5 24.Qd3 Qh6 25.Kg1 f5 26.f4 Bf6 27.b5 g5 28.bxc6 gxf4 29.Qxd5+ Kh8 30.Qf7 Rg8 31.Qxg8+ Kxg8 32.c7 fxg3 33.c8=Q+ Kf7 34.Qb7+ 1-0
Hey Antonio! Congratulations for your success running this channel. Just wondering if you could show some Mamedyarov vs Carlsen games. I don't think you have done one before.
I wonder - how chess players like Caruana, Mamedyarov, Aronian, Carlsen, Nakamura, all of them greet each other during tournaments like these? Is it something like: "Hey, Shaggy, long time no see bro! What's up?" or: "Mr. Mamedyarov, it's a pleasure to compete with you, let the game begin." or even maybe: "I'll crush you all :)"
In competitions like this I imagine situation of tension/cordiality/education. Nothing super formal like your second option, but I think that the players are so focused on what's about to go on on the board that don't even think much at the rest (of the world) maybe this does not apply to Ivantchouk
It's a competition, you set your mindset accordingly, just greet professionally and anything other than that is some attempt at mindfucking which is really bad form.
Tony, you are prolific... there is no debating this fact, and since you are, what about that Ivanchuk game you promised, since you are in the "zone"? Feed us baby birds! 😃
I was going to do it today, but after checking all games, I decided to wait for one more from European championship. Will do it tomorrow though, I'm beat :D
I have been playing chess for five years and still do not know the names of the openings....I'm beginning to understand as I keep watching ur videos... thank u very much.
loving the analysis you do on all these games. any tips on how I can improve my chess skills? I'm new to the game and want to learn how to play better.
Can someone explain what he means when he says "a prepared move"? Do these players "practice" a lot of variations before the game so they know what to play?
Felix Magath likes and plays chess and said that every soccer-player should know it because he learns a lot about strategy. He scored the only goal in the European Cup for Hamburg against Juventus in 1983 and 2009 he coached Wolfsburg when they won the Bundesliga with Edin Dzeko.
Baseball has someone throw the first pitch. Hockey, someone drops a puck for a face-off. It is just kind of a ceremonial thing sometimes done in sports, including chess.
Hey Agadmator could you take a look at what I think the real star game of today was? That being Kramnik vs Aronian and that incredibly gorgeous and sharp ending
Felix Magath is not just a former soccer-player, manager and coach but also a chess-player or someone who likes chess a lot. He said that every soccer-player should play chess
Hello Antonio, i just wanted to say Mamed is an azeri, so his name is spelled like translate.google.com/#tr/en/%C5%9Fahriyar , if that's wrong azeri friends please correct me. But it's not definetely shak or shaq etc.
at 13:10 white should have played Rc6. Threatening check mate at last rank incasse black captures pawn. this would be followed by ....Kf8. Rc8 check, Ke7. Rc7 check, wins the pawn.
Analyzing the game style, the ideas and plans , I think Mamedyarov is a little better than Caruana and I think he is the only worth opponent for Magnus Carslen. He is ''A pure dangerous mind''
I really REALLY want Mamedjarov to win this, I really wasn't expecting Fabiano to lead the tournament so strongly and while he is obviously a much better player than I will ever be, I just find his style kind of boring most of the time.
I was playing in a tournament on the sea side and was staying at a nice hotel. One night, at the bar, I notice a beautiful girl looking at me. I go over to her and say "Hi, I'm ..., I'm a Grandmaster." "I don't believe you" she says. "Then you have to come up to my room so I can prove it" "How are you going to prove it? " "I'll show you some mating positions"
Hey man. I am begging you! Please stop smacking your mouth/lips, it is soo annoying. I really enjoy your channel but most of the time, can not focus on the game because of the smacking sounds. Please, do something about it! Cheers!!! #suggestion

patzer opening

Thanks man. Welcome! :)
awesome coverage... videos within few hours.. awesome
I saw this analysis on chess network but watching again because i want to see it in your voice

Thnks for all the brilliant and funny chess videos - looks like youwork hard at it!
Thats Felix Magath making the First move. Hes a Great soccer coach ex-national player for Germany.
Dmn didnt recognized him. WTF why he does that.
the person who makes the first move looks like felix magath, a former german football coach. but i dont know if this his him
Sir Impoleon
Yes he is it
Yes, it's Magath. He is a huge Chess enthusiast.
... he's also a huge enthusiast for torturing his players :D
james64ibm yeah he is quite famous for that
yup seems to be him
He is Felix Magath, former Germany and Bayern Munich head coach. He is a chess enthusiast and he had even played with Kasparov before.
Hey Antonio! Congratulations for your success running this channel. Just wondering if you could show some Mamedyarov vs Carlsen games. I don't think you have done one before.
Beautiful fight!
Nice tournament!
Can you please do a few videos of games of Magnus playing against the current leaders in the candidates tournament?
The man who makes the first move is Felix Magath. He is a german football trainer.
I wonder - how chess players like Caruana, Mamedyarov, Aronian, Carlsen, Nakamura, all of them greet each other during tournaments like these? Is it something like:
"Hey, Shaggy, long time no see bro! What's up?"
or:
"Mr. Mamedyarov, it's a pleasure to compete with you, let the game begin."
or even maybe:
"I'll crush you all :)"
mickol34 I think they just shake hands and welcomes come later on the board 😂
I don't know for the others but I'm pretty sure Magnus greets with the last one
They argue on twitter
In competitions like this I imagine situation of tension/cordiality/education.
Nothing super formal like your second option, but I think that the players are so focused on what's about to go on on the board that don't even think much at the rest (of the world)
maybe this does not apply to Ivantchouk
It's a competition, you set your mindset accordingly, just greet professionally and anything other than that is some attempt at mindfucking which is really bad form.
Tony, you are prolific... there is no debating this fact, and since you are, what about that Ivanchuk game you promised, since you are in the "zone"? Feed us baby birds! 😃
I was going to do it today, but after checking all games, I decided to wait for one more from European championship. Will do it tomorrow though, I'm beat :D
You have certainly earned your respite... Thanks again
check the video of ivanchuk playing blitz if you havent already th-cam.com/video/USO-CUOZPAo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you matej
TAKO JE BRE PRIJATELJU
Hey mate could you do videos of openings, showing the main lines for each one? That would be great
I have been playing chess for five years and still do not know the names of the openings....I'm beginning to understand as I keep watching ur videos... thank u very much.
The game is perfectly played by the two leaders without wrong moves. Good game..
what happened to the Chucky vid????????
A marathon! Great to hear how much time they spend on some of their moves.
Big Shak almost did it.
Kudos to both.
the person making the first move is felix magath - former football player, manager and coach
Even though drawn, it was an excellent game of chess by those two superstars! That's what you should expect from a candidates tournament!
excellent work rate
loving the analysis you do on all these games. any tips on how I can improve my chess skills? I'm new to the game and want to learn how to play better.
good work all the best from india
The man who makes the first move looks like he could be Shak's father. Just a guess. Love your channel!
I am really enjoying these videos, but wasn't it Ivanchuk's birthday recently? Didn't you say you would release a video to commemorate this?
good morning, the man who makes the first move there looks like "Gregor Gysi" a german Politician
Can someone explain what he means when he says "a prepared move"? Do these players "practice" a lot of variations before the game so they know what to play?
Ben Valdes Yes they can memorize entire openings 20+ moves deep. Thats how crazy it is at their level.
The trailer for Action Point looks fantastic. Enjoy that extra ad revenue;)))
Felix Magath likes and plays chess and said that every soccer-player should know it because he learns a lot about strategy. He scored the only goal in the European Cup for Hamburg against Juventus in 1983 and 2009 he coached Wolfsburg when they won the Bundesliga with Edin Dzeko.
Why the first move is (traditionally?) made by a third person?
Baseball has someone throw the first pitch. Hockey, someone drops a puck for a face-off. It is just kind of a ceremonial thing sometimes done in sports, including chess.
Hello everyone, at 5,27 why not Qe2 ? The threat seems serious to me, what did i miss?
Hey Agadmator could you take a look at what I think the real star game of today was? That being Kramnik vs Aronian and that incredibly gorgeous and sharp ending
His name is Felix Magath....German Football Coach currently coaching a chinese team. Won the Bundesliga three times.
can someone give me some advice..i play the caro kann im pretty good at it but i struggle when white plays the advance variation
1:52 Doesn't dxc3 mean that the gambit was accepted?
yes but since the bishop is being fianchetoed its called the Catalan
Buddy, you dont need to tell us for every move how much player took time to play :D
Felix Magath is not just a former soccer-player, manager and coach but also a chess-player or someone who likes chess a lot. He said that every soccer-player should play chess
The naked Kings, RIP !
Thanq Antonio ~
My favorite opening is the Najdorf Sicilian, for both white and black.
Great game, but I can’t believe that Shak could not win it. He was better during the whole game.
Can someone please explain why they get someone else to make the first move? What's the historical basis for this?
10:10 what if bishop to f6
Wow, is Ducherwin Dekamenz at 1:02 known for anything?
Ding with 10 draws in 10 games xD
Anish be like thats my boy xD
Anish Giri: I will draw as many games as possible
Liren Ding: Hold my beer
if ding and anish play a 100 game match it would be all drawn :p
Yet giri is kramnik's second
Tor Ormseth He must be so tired of drawing that he is going for this sharp lines like a mad man.
Hello Antonio, i just wanted to say Mamed is an azeri, so his name is spelled like translate.google.com/#tr/en/%C5%9Fahriyar , if that's wrong azeri friends please correct me. But it's not definetely shak or shaq etc.
Fabi is genious. He will defeat MC one day. Another hotshot is Ding.
I was watching this game live
Sry if this sounds dumb but why does kasparov not play in it?
TeeAgeSee Privat I think he retired from pro chess. Otherwise he didn't qualify for this tournament :)
kasparov is retired, and old. age does play a factor at the very top tier chess levels
Ty guys
23:46 Why were the kings naked?
I should get you a Shadiversity "Very Interesting" shirt.
why does another person make the first move?
I hope Caruana wins 😉
2:07 "and it was in this position that ___________ resigned"
Nice game..the hunger is shown by playing till the kings are left..
Queen's gambit
at 13:10 white should have played Rc6. Threatening check mate at last rank incasse black captures pawn. this would be followed by ....Kf8. Rc8 check, Ke7. Rc7 check, wins the pawn.
The person that made the first move is football manager, Felix Magath.
Analyzing the game style, the ideas and plans , I think Mamedyarov is a little better than Caruana and I think he is the only worth opponent for Magnus Carslen. He is ''A pure dangerous mind''
Well Mamedyarov is number 2 in the world, only Magnus Carlsen is better than him right now.
sadly that he didnt win the Candidates. I would like to see him against Magnus
Andrej Uchiha, you will be happy with today's result no doubt.
The man who is making the first move in Aronian v Kramnik is Felix Magath, an Ex-Football Trainer
That is a serious amount of prize money -- enough for the top players to make a living, at least
Nice game
the guy who made the first move look like famous football manager felix magath
Football manager felix magath in the pic!
The guy who made the first move is a football manager -Felix Magath.
I really REALLY want Mamedjarov to win this, I really wasn't expecting Fabiano to lead the tournament so strongly and while he is obviously a much better player than I will ever be, I just find his style kind of boring most of the time.
IT was a very complicated game, I do believe Mamedyarov was able to escape the traps, and that leed to draw, as Caruana expected.
Am I the only one who thought that agad would say "... that black resigned" at 2:09?
Ne forgesu danki viajn subtenantojn
On the 3rd day of play after the rest day is when I expect inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders. Look for players under less pressure to cash in...
If he really loved us he would pin this comment
prepared move so all of this was found over the board
really bro
Felix magath
Hii
First comment in five years for no reason
When the kings are left on the board, the players should decide the match with a fist-fight.
We want the DOG
Do you ever get old or what
Without your videos my life would have been miserable
That person looks like Felix Magath
It was Felix Magath
White could have easily won this game, he had a huge advantage
4:20 hahahah
This game had my blood pumping
I was playing in a tournament on the sea side and was staying at a nice hotel. One night, at the bar, I notice a beautiful girl looking at me. I go over to her and say "Hi, I'm ..., I'm a Grandmaster." "I don't believe you" she says. "Then you have to come up to my room so I can prove it" "How are you going to prove it? " "I'll show you some mating positions"
1ST!
NO
Not even close
YEAH HADN'T REFRESHED
English for white, Alekhine for black
First
Bad development by Mamedyarov ...
Hey man. I am begging you! Please stop smacking your mouth/lips, it is soo annoying. I really enjoy your channel but most of the time, can not focus on the game because of the smacking sounds. Please, do something about it! Cheers!!! #suggestion
Smacking mouth and lips? Does Antonio ever do this? I must have seen most of his videos by now and I can't recall this even once :p
for example 5:36
It must be annoying only to you then.
Maybe. I have misophonia, I admit that! Its a psychological disorder.
