I will add some additional information from the broadcast and what microphones picked up during the norwegian live coverage. After Alireza lost on time (he fumbled his king, not the bishop), he claimed that there was no mating material and that it should be a draw. There was then a pretty loud discussion at the table, when the arbiter ruled the game as a draw. Magnus claimed there was mating material on the board, the arbiter still ruled a draw. We could then hear Magnus say "Who's ruling is that? Is it yours?" since he thought the arbiter was influenced by Alireza. The head arbiter then came over and ruled a loss on time for Alireza since there was mating material on the board. They moved to the side, and the camera and microphones picked up a heated debate between the head arbiter and the Alireza team and they needed the rules explained to them. After a lot of fuzz, Alireza was shown the very clear rule that it is only a draw if there is "not mating material left by any means possible for Carlsen". Then Alireza changed his story and claimed that Carlsen spoke something in Norwegian and had disturbed him. The arbiter then said he should have stopped the clock and addressed it when it happened, and again Alireza claimed that this happened when there was 2 seconds left on the clock and it would be impossible. This was the second time he changed his story. The head arbiter ruled that he lost on time and if he had any concerns about Carlsens behaviour he should have adressed it at the table. Alireza and his team put in an official complaint, claiming that Carlsen said something in Norwegian and distrubed when Alireza had only seconds left on the clock. While the complaint was reviewed, the TV team showed the entire endgame. It shows Magnus spontaneously whisper a norwegian word when he blundered his C-pawn. Carlsen had at the time about 2-3 seconds on the clock, Alireza more than 8 and a completely winning position. If he wanted he had time to complain, but was winning on the board. They played for about 2 more minutes and Alireza fumbled pieces 3 times and lost a lot of time on the clock. It was only when he lost on time, all these excuses showed up. The jury overruled his complaint, and Alireza lost on time. He was extremely sympathetic in the interviews before this, but this circus after his loss was an embarassment for him and his team.

Goratchthemule LoL. I specifically rewatched the last two minutes of gameplay several times and the only time Carlsen spoke was for a briefest moment good 15 moves from the final position. I could not decipher if he was cursing and if it was indeed in Norwegian. Apparently, Alireza is a very good linguist in addition to being a great chess player. He was able to determine that it was indeed Norwegian and indeed a cursing.
Assume he's being honest and he really was disturbed and his concentration broke...what would you have wanted him to do? Stop the match when he was in a winning position? It obviously affected him, you know that just by the fact that he noticed it strongly enough to still remember after the game. But he's in a no-no win situation, there's no way he could have reacted to Magnus's speaking that wouldn't have been heavily criticized.
@@jonathanhakim8264 If it indeed disturbed him, then he should stop the clock immediately and have the judge rule on it. However, it was on Magnus's turn and before Magnus made a move, so it would benefit Magnus with extra time to think. Magnus literally made a one syllable sound head facing downward quieter than a cough, made his move, and then they both continued to play smoothly for many moves after. No one is buying his BS. This guy demanded that the judge show him the rule in the rulebook that states that if there's a way for Magnus to win, then Magnus wins on time, so everyone has to wait (it's not the last round) while the judge gets a rulebook and finds the page to show him. Then, he goes, aha, I can complain Magnus was speaking loudly in Norewegian (which he says he didn't know what he was saying). The committee then goes to the back room to watch the match while everyone waits some more. Of course, they reject the appeal.
The worst move possible rule is important because it categorically determines what is a win and what is a draw on the moment the opponent runs out of time. I agree with those who argue that the selfmate would never happen realistically, but the rules cannot be flexible. Otherwise, players would start to claim theorethical draws on every endgame where it is possible with best play (take a drawn KRP vs KR endgame, for example. For a GM it's usually as basic to hold a draw as to not be self-mated. If the defending side lose on time, can he claim a draw assuring that it's impossible for him to lose? I don't think so). It is harder to play the best moves than the worst ones. The rule cannot bend over.
On TH-cam... free to watch. You could watch it from the player's perspective or commentated and analysed by other GM hosts. The live one is better because the moves are delayed for the commentators who analyse, major lag, sometimes the whole second half of the game is missed. Then its over. But watching this game was so intense, try find a recording of it.
This is the reason I stopped playing over the board chess. I only play on the internet. Bad sports are the worst and they ruin the game for me.

He has made a living doing this and he would have never become the best without putting pressure on himself to perform. Without this confidence he would never be where he is today..

I mean, if you play chess in a professional environment with rules, then this game isn´t really up to debate. great coverage of the blitz chess championship so far!
yeah his behavior was uncalled for but he shouldn't have had to lose all his time just to pick up pieces, this is blitz and he's not trying to knock over pieces intentionally to cheat in any way or make illegal moves the way inarkiev did

What makes Blitz Chess special? The time control. Loosing on time means failure on that. But Firouzja claims 1. not to deserve to loose on time, 2. malfunction of clock!! and 3. misbehavior of Carlson, while himself throwing with pieces around and not putting it in violation of the rules correctly within the square! Gives me a deep inside in his poor character.
Thanks for making the most tedious competition EXCEEDINGLY EXCITING SIR! From Cali to everyone out there Let's do it again next year and have a great one!
@@RodneyLim03 but he said it about 1 and a half minutes before the game ended, according to Alireza 'magnus was speaking his language and yelling at the end of the match distracting me'. He needs to grow up a little.
The automatic captions are pretty good. I never heard the word "fianchetto" before, and when Agadmator said it, I didn't understand what he was saying. The captions picked it up, I googled it, and learned a new word!
I new you had a good scoop on this controversy. I finally watched most of the match and yeah that seemed like a real moment in the match. Endgame study seems like a wonderful suggestion.
Alireza Firouzja - boy to be applauded and appreciated for a wonderful game against Carlsen. So many skills. Impressive play. Future Master is in the prep.
Ah Agad thank you for your explanation... I was just thinking about how isn’t that a draw by insufficient material but your explanation really clears it up.
Don't feel sad as after the game alireza blamed magnus that magnus spoke something in norweign due to which alireza got distracted.. But replay clearly shows that magnus told nothing and alireza lost time because his pieces felt 2-3 times at the end. He lacked control there that's why he lost
I know basic/elementary chess. I'm watching more and more chess matches and really enjoy the sideline analysis of each match. Especially this one between Magnus and Firouja!
Whatever. Whose hand wouldn't tremble in the final moments of outplaying the world champ? We expect to see great things from this young man in the future.
I think Firouzja lost just because he's still young - I can imagine when you're up 2-3 pawns against Magnus, the pressure that you might be able to get a win against the World Champion, you get a little nervous. Firouzja's definitely going to become a monster after he plays for a few more years and learns how to manage his nerves.
@@margad-erdeneamgalanbaatar5028 He'll get better. I'm guessing he will spend a couple days moving pieces around the board as fast as he can to control the jitters.
He knocked over pieces 3 different times. He should have just repeatedly some worthless bishop moves to get him a minute on the clock before doing anything, he panicked hardcore.
Thanks for explaining that rule. I watched the match and thought that Magnus would have resigned but because there were so many pieces on the board it is possible to blunder and win with a smothered mate.
Firouzja complained that Magnus said something in Norwegian and he couldn't understand and it disturbed him at around 2 to 4 seconds. This complaint was turned down by committee and proceeded to next rounds. Finally Magnus won all 3 formats. Champion of Champions. Thanks Agadmator for explaining the moves in this video.
It's weird how when Magnus finds himself in trouble his opponents immediately stop making best moves, as if they were linked with the invisible chess life thread.
Sometimes the hardest thing in chess is winning in a winning position. That would seem odd, but it often occurs when you have multiple good ways of win, and move by move you don't choose the best way to do it. This gives your opponent counterplay possibilities.
At 16 years old against the best player in the world and he was dominant, everyone knows his heart was pounding through his chest, his time was ebbing away, and he's knocking over pieces. 16 years old! It's a learning curve. No one can criticise his emotions after that tension, he will mature in time.
Lichess also does that ruling, so it is within the rules. We cant blame Magnus, as in a Blitz game, players depend on the time to make the best moves, so in theory he could have played better defense if he had more time. Anyway, great play by Alireza, I expect to see him in the World Championship within 10 years, alongside with Praggu :-)
Firouzja said that when he had 2 seconds left magnus was speaking loudly in Norwegian to distract him but if you watch the video magnus didn’t say anything at all. The last time magnus said something he cursed himself for a bad move but it was long before the game ended, which means firouzja basically made that up because he was mad at himself for knocking over pieces and losing the game
i dont know much about this Alireza, he seems to be an outstanding player. but as a human being he is way behind. and he is already 16 so his character is somehow settled. he left Iran to play for FIDE? and now he expects special treatment??? it is not uncommen for someone to say "f**k" or whatever during a blitz. Alireza simply made up some BS coz he was winning but lost on time. he knocked so many pieces over and that was not the fault of Magnus. To sum it up, Alireza is a bad loser and no gentleman.
Jakki Hessing he is 16 not a grown gentleman his frustrations are understandable and his actions show his immaturity but he will grow and learn as we all do
To lie about others with 16 says everything about him. That will never change. He will never "grow" out of this... and to leave your country to play for another country, also says a lot about your chatacter. He will do anything to get ahead!
A few corrections: Alireza hit 0:00 before Carlsen’s last bishop move, because when letting go of his king after moving it, it fell and he had to put it back up and ran out of time. Carlsen made the move, but at that point he had already won on time. Also, Alireza’s complaint (which got rejected later after having to spent 300 euro to file it, OOF), was that Magnus exclaimed something in norwegian when Alireza only had 1 second left on the clock. Magnus did exclaim «faen» which is similar to «fuck», but it was waaaay earlier in the game, long before Alireza was down to 1 second. It also seemed that Alireza was trying to get the result overturned to a draw at first, but even if he did, he quickly conceded that objective after being cited the relevant paragraph in the rulebook by the head official of the tournament.
The definition of a sore loser. He's a talented cry baby kid. Somebody probably told him to go through with that complaint. His team needs to show some respect.
@@drew8268 I understand him. I dont agree with his actions, but I understand him. He had a completely won game against a world champion and a tiny slip at the end cost him the point. He obviously got a bit thrown off by the "faen" from Magnus, but he has to realize that its part of live chess. Having done most of his training online, it makes sense that these things get to him. I hope he takes away some valuable experience from this, instead of focusing on the negative.
@The Liquidator Dude. He ran out of time. The rules don't care about your feelings. He ran out of time=loss. That's the way it works. That's the way it's always worked.
@Blitzmesser oh yes absolutely. When he plays more clean and manages his clock better he will be a fantastic opponent for years to come. A very exciting addition to top tier chess
I don't play well but for once I saw the winning move for Alireza. It goes to show that high pressure, time pressure and blitz makes it very very difficult to think as clearly as when relaxed.
I was taught that you need to make a position with checkmate in one move, not direct checkmate. That way a pair of knights is not a mating force and does not give any draw when time is up.
I can imagine how magnus reacts when he blunders that pawn lol he's always like that hahahha he's pissed if he's being outplayed... But that personality is the reason where he is now.. the discipline "dont lose anymore" is the goal hahahaha
I don't understand what the fuzz is all about (rookie here; I mean, ROOKIE!) - The rules don't take probabilities into account, and they shouldn't. As shown at the end by our lovely host (thank you for these awesome videos- you really sparked my interest for chess!), it is technically possible to mate Alireza. In a classic game, Alireza most likely wouldn't have missed his winning moves. But here he did. Why? Because he was low on time, and well, ... that's the defining factor of this game mode. So: although Magnus was clearly behind in "pure chess terms", he was ahead on the probably more important resource: time. That makes Carlsen win the game; not Alireza lose it.
Challengers? . Yes. Lots of them. . . But why didn't Alireza beat down all the other mere mortals? . He couldn't do it, could he? Even after Magnus made a big blunder, he still couldn't beat him. . . . Everyone ups their game in a bid to take down the Champ. But to be a World Champion in Classical, Rapid and Blitz, you need more than a little luck. Happy New Year Magnus Carlsen! You are 'The Greatest Chess Player of All Time'!
How about Qc3 at 3:13? Strong diagonals, e3 is still defended and c7 is being attacked. There is also a discovered attack on Black's King. If he tries sth like d5 then White can just play Rf7 + and pick up Black's Queen. I haven't fully explored it but, prima facie, it looks good.
I have used helpmate analyser. Maybe there are a huge number of helpmates in this position. The engine shows 13 solutions for six moves and then tells us the maximum number was exceeded. Why not to imagine there may be hundreds of possible helpmates here?
prestidigitation is also important in plitz chess so that the pieces do not fall on the board. When your time ends before opponent time, that means in return you had the opportunity previously to think more and play better and have the advantage on the chessboard. illogical consume more time than your opponent and get ahead of him, and when your time runs out you say you had the advantage to win .. so its plitz
@@ramimagdi7525 i said that "whatever" cause this Aronian's game doesn't matters, cause it was played on rapid and not on blitz, like this one against firouzja
Thank you! I didnt know that rule, i thought that if you lose on time that was it! He was really mad, i saw the game and didn’t understand anything....
Wow that explanation of why this match wasn't a draw is why I subscribed to your channel. You're so good at explaining these technical chess scenarios!
Am I missing something. the whole purpose of the clock is to force play He lose on time simple If he won the appeal that would mean you could just win a pawn then let your time run out lol I know he’s young but that was an amateur move for a GM
It's a draw if the only person able to deliver checkmate's clock runs out. If that weren't the case, you'd have situations where someone only has a king left and runs it around the board when they have a time advantage and win the game.
@@Okiesmokie his reaction and the complaint about magnus cussing disturbing him is kinda silly but the rules about knocking over pieces are stupid as well and he doesn't deserve to lose a game because he must spend his last few seconds picking up a piece

But Firouzja claims 1. not to deserve to loose on time, 2. malfunction of clock!! and 3. misbehavior of Carlson, while himself throwing with pieces around and not putting it in violation of the rules correctly within the square! Gives me a deep inside in his poor character.
Thanks for making the most tedious competition EXCEEDINGLY EXCITING SIR! From Cali to everyone out there Let's do it again next year and have a great one!
Ofcourse it is a fair win: When you agree to play a certain time control
and you overstep the time limit you agreed on, you lose on time.
It's fair, but unfortunate.
Did u even understand the help mate rule?
@@agnisuddhashaw2767 yes
You won't lose if the other guys has only king.
@@FilipArlet I freaking lost like this on Lichess. No increment 3 min blitz shit
"... which may transpose into a previously played game". This is a new sentence and thus of sentence ten we have a completely new commentary.
Underrated comment
Alireza threw a fit after the game, throwing his water bottle and blaming magnus for talking when magnus didnt say a word.
he actually did say damn it after losing his pawn or something like that but it wasn't as distracting as knocking over pieces on the board
@@RodneyLim03 but he said it about 1 and a half minutes before the game ended, according to Alireza 'magnus was speaking his language and yelling at the end of the match distracting me'. He needs to grow up a little.
@@JS-nr7te exactly i mean hes literally trying to cheat to get the victory.
@@RodneyLim03 he said faen which means fuck in Norwaien but yes it's wasn't disturbing
@@Steevvee Exactly. Alireza is a kid; he has some maturity issues.
Tomorrow agadmator makes videos first then players follow that game to play.
Am dead XD
Hahaha..!
And as of my video we have a completely new game- agadmator
Everyone is blaming Alireza but he played this pretty well and had Magnus quite cornered, that's impressive for such a young guy.
He is next world champion. Mark my words
@@nikhilbalkawade5808 He could be. Great!
Agad is in the blitz in uploading videos in youtube. Keep it up!
The automatic captions are pretty good. I never heard the word "fianchetto" before, and when Agadmator said it, I didn't understand what he was saying. The captions picked it up, I googled it, and learned a new word!
Fianchetto, in chess just means that you’re putting the bishop on the longest diagonal, especially in the early game
I new you had a good scoop on this controversy. I finally watched most of the match and yeah that seemed like a real moment in the match. Endgame study seems like a wonderful suggestion.
Alireza Firouzja - boy to be applauded and appreciated for a wonderful game against Carlsen. So many skills. Impressive play. Future Master is in the prep.
On the contrary, I see a high strung youngster who is stepping off a cliff here. I was his age when Bobby Fischer began to unravel, too.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 with a good coach i am sure he can win next time
Not to be applauded for his behaviour after the match though
@@v44n7 It is emotional, he has to calm down, not get even more wound up.
HELL OF A GAME.. LOVED IT.. MAGNUS CREATES HUGE PRESSURE FOR OPPONENTS .. ENDGAME KING
Carlsen: "gg outplayed"
EXCELLENT COVERING OF THIS MATCH BY Agadmator !! SUPERB !!
Alireza:*about to win the game*
Magnus: *KING CRIMSON*
In a Blitz game, your opponent is not the one in front of you but the time clock beside you!!!
The classic self sabotage mate. My specialty.
Ah Agad thank you for your explanation... I was just thinking about how isn’t that a draw by insufficient material but your explanation really clears it up.
*This made me sad*
@TheAndrewJohnson OfficialMusicChannel thanks for the input
Forget sadness, *i'm mad*
@diztiinct fcking perverted soyboy
Don't feel sad as after the game alireza blamed magnus that magnus spoke something in norweign due to which alireza got distracted.. But replay clearly shows that magnus told nothing and alireza lost time because his pieces felt 2-3 times at the end. He lacked control there that's why he lost
jb_ 007 he is 16 and he was sad at that time give him the right to complain. Imagine you had the absolute winning position against Carlsen
I know basic/elementary chess. I'm watching more and more chess matches and really enjoy the sideline analysis of each match. Especially this one between Magnus and Firouja!
You know what they say: EVERYTHING can happen in Chess
Amazing analyzation. Bravo! 👏👏👏
I really see Alireza becoming a World champion in the future. The dude is just like 16 or 17.
Yeah
Someone need to teach him humility and humbleness before he even think about becoming world champion.
@@dheenadrp you probably have a sad life. got nothing to do but hating on 17 year old kids??
@@abrardaiyan4268 No hate my friend, just stating the fact. This 17 year old need to learn a lot. Have a nice day.
A good example on not playing a prefect game when time is low. Levon Aronian played Qb7 in blitz game against Magnus Carlsen.
* me about to get my 7-downed-to-3 hours of sleep *
**Agad uploads a vid**
me: sleep is *O V E R R A T E D* !
we just love you alireza
Whatever. Whose hand wouldn't tremble in the final moments of outplaying the world champ? We expect to see great things from this young man in the future.
I think Firouzja lost just because he's still young - I can imagine when you're up 2-3 pawns against Magnus, the pressure that you might be able to get a win against the World Champion, you get a little nervous. Firouzja's definitely going to become a monster after he plays for a few more years and learns how to manage his nerves.
Alireza's clumsy hand coordination cost him the game.
@@margad-erdeneamgalanbaatar5028 He'll get better. I'm guessing he will spend a couple days moving pieces around the board as fast as he can to control the jitters.
He knocked over pieces 3 different times.
He should have just repeatedly some worthless bishop moves to get him a minute on the clock before doing anything, he panicked hardcore.
Thanks for explaining that rule. I watched the match and thought that Magnus would have resigned but because there were so many pieces on the board it is possible to blunder and win with a smothered mate.
I think "what REALLY happened" is agadmator's girlfriend is gone for the holidays ... and its 100 times more chess for us!
GIRLfriend????
Nope it's BOYfriend
Firouzja complained that Magnus said something in Norwegian and he couldn't understand and it disturbed him at around 2 to 4 seconds. This complaint was turned down by committee and proceeded to next rounds. Finally Magnus won all 3 formats. Champion of Champions. Thanks Agadmator for explaining the moves in this video.
It's weird how when Magnus finds himself in trouble his opponents immediately stop making best moves, as if they were linked with the invisible chess life thread.
Sometimes the hardest thing in chess is winning in a winning position. That would seem odd, but it often occurs when you have multiple good ways of win, and move by move you don't choose the best way to do it. This gives your opponent counterplay possibilities.
@@Dario_Salvi I agree.
Outstanding game and superior commentary from Agadmator,
I am feeling like this is a preview of future.
At 16 years old against the best player in the world and he was dominant, everyone knows his heart was pounding through his chest, his time was ebbing away, and he's knocking over pieces.
16 years old! It's a learning curve. No one can criticise his emotions after that tension, he will mature in time.
Ali Reza to Magnus: you can't defeat me
Magnus looking at the clock: I know but he can.
Also a new TH-cam channel here
Nice😂
Lmao😂😂
Lol ragnarok reference
@@FrustratedUnitedFan that's why we r laughing
@@FrustratedUnitedFan yup
Happy New year agadmator..
Mwahh mwahh.😊😊😊
Summary of this game : "A good player is always lucky" - Capablanca
I like it when he says:"Now we have a complete new game"
Agadmator gone mad over uploading videos. 😂😂.
Keep it up bro. More videos from you , keep my chess form up.
Lichess also does that ruling, so it is within the rules. We cant blame Magnus, as in a Blitz game, players depend on the time to make the best moves, so in theory he could have played better defense if he had more time. Anyway, great play by Alireza, I expect to see him in the World Championship within 10 years, alongside with Praggu :-)
Firouzja said that when he had 2 seconds left magnus was speaking loudly in Norwegian to distract him but if you watch the video magnus didn’t say anything at all. The last time magnus said something he cursed himself for a bad move but it was long before the game ended, which means firouzja basically made that up because he was mad at himself for knocking over pieces and losing the game
Absolutely! And Alireza should be dismissed for knocking over both his own and even Magnus' chess pieces!
i dont know much about this Alireza, he seems to be an outstanding player. but as a human being he is way behind. and he is already 16 so his character is somehow settled. he left Iran to play for FIDE? and now he expects special treatment??? it is not uncommen for someone to say "f**k" or whatever during a blitz. Alireza simply made up some BS coz he was winning but lost on time. he knocked so many pieces over and that was not the fault of Magnus. To sum it up, Alireza is a bad loser and no gentleman.
Jakki Hessing he is 16 not a grown gentleman his frustrations are understandable and his actions show his immaturity but he will grow and learn as we all do
To lie about others with 16 says everything about him. That will never change. He will never "grow" out of this... and to leave your country to play for another country, also says a lot about your chatacter. He will do anything to get ahead!
Magnus shouted a bit earlier. What Ali meant to say was that he lost 2-4 seconds because of the loss of concentration.
Wow I'm too early for this. Happy New year guys!
We need full-contact, no holds barred chess grudge match.
a 30 year old man against a 16 year old lmao
@@utm0st tag team?
@@misterfunnybones Firouzja + Hikaru vs. Magnus + Yoo?
A few corrections: Alireza hit 0:00 before Carlsen’s last bishop move, because when letting go of his king after moving it, it fell and he had to put it back up and ran out of time. Carlsen made the move, but at that point he had already won on time.
Also, Alireza’s complaint (which got rejected later after having to spent 300 euro to file it, OOF), was that Magnus exclaimed something in norwegian when Alireza only had 1 second left on the clock. Magnus did exclaim «faen» which is similar to «fuck», but it was waaaay earlier in the game, long before Alireza was down to 1 second.
It also seemed that Alireza was trying to get the result overturned to a draw at first, but even if he did, he quickly conceded that objective after being cited the relevant paragraph in the rulebook by the head official of the tournament.
The definition of a sore loser. He's a talented cry baby kid. Somebody probably told him to go through with that complaint. His team needs to show some respect.
@@drew8268 I understand him. I dont agree with his actions, but I understand him. He had a completely won game against a world champion and a tiny slip at the end cost him the point. He obviously got a bit thrown off by the "faen" from Magnus, but he has to realize that its part of live chess. Having done most of his training online, it makes sense that these things get to him. I hope he takes away some valuable experience from this, instead of focusing on the negative.
Rules are rules. Dererved the loss. Congratulations to Magnus on correct time management and the win 😊
@The Liquidator he ran out of time. If you run out of time in chess you deserve to lose regardless of how good your position is
@The Liquidator salty?
@The Liquidator Dude. He ran out of time. The rules don't care about your feelings. He ran out of time=loss. That's the way it works. That's the way it's always worked.
@Blitzmesser oh yes absolutely. When he plays more clean and manages his clock better he will be a fantastic opponent for years to come. A very exciting addition to top tier chess
@The Liquidator go read chess rules, alireza fanboy
I don't play well but for once I saw the winning move for Alireza. It goes to show that high pressure, time pressure and blitz makes it very very difficult to think as clearly as when relaxed.
Blitz is about speed
Magnus knows it, while Ali Reza doesnt.
As simple as that!
@ensayofr why tho?
I was taught that you need to make a position with checkmate in one move, not direct checkmate. That way a pair of knights is not a mating force and does not give any draw when time is up.
It doesn't matter if you score the game winning goal after the whistle blows
Firouzja knows all about the time he has. Mismanagement came to hound him in the end. Loosing is not easy.
I can imagine how magnus reacts when he blunders that pawn lol he's always like that hahahha he's pissed if he's being outplayed... But that personality is the reason where he is now.. the discipline "dont lose anymore" is the goal hahahaha
Exactly just like how Kasparov used to be pissed off lol
he only pissed if he make simple blunder not all the time
@@dnisa4 of course hahahah
Lose^* loose would be if his belt wasn’t tight enough.
@@seanhartel5362 oh yeah thanks hahahha
Well presented, thank you! :-)
Alireza: There's no way I'm going to lose now
Time: *are you sure about that*
I don't understand what the fuzz is all about (rookie here; I mean, ROOKIE!) - The rules don't take probabilities into account, and they shouldn't. As shown at the end by our lovely host (thank you for these awesome videos- you really sparked my interest for chess!), it is technically possible to mate Alireza. In a classic game, Alireza most likely wouldn't have missed his winning moves. But here he did. Why? Because he was low on time, and well, ... that's the defining factor of this game mode. So: although Magnus was clearly behind in "pure chess terms", he was ahead on the probably more important resource: time. That makes Carlsen win the game; not Alireza lose it.
Next step: update the video before the game even finish
Keep it up agad 👌👌
finally someone who can really challenge Magnus, great to see :)
ding stuck his dong in carlsen a couple of times already from what I can remember.
Challengers? . Yes. Lots of them. . . But why didn't Alireza beat down all the other mere mortals? . He couldn't do it, could he? Even after Magnus made a big blunder, he still couldn't beat him. . . . Everyone ups their game in a bid to take down the Champ. But to be a World Champion in Classical, Rapid and Blitz, you need more than a little luck. Happy New Year Magnus Carlsen! You are 'The Greatest Chess Player of All Time'!
How about Qc3 at 3:13? Strong diagonals, e3 is still defended and c7 is being attacked. There is also a discovered attack on Black's King. If he tries sth like d5 then White can just play Rf7 + and pick up Black's Queen. I haven't fully explored it but, prima facie, it looks good.
Alireza reported Magnus for talking in Norwegian when they were both low on time. He wrote the appeal right after the game ended, but it was rejected
Talking to who in Norwegian? Himself. I don't get it 😅
I think he was muttering to himself because he was mad or something. There’s a video on Chess Base India’s channel.
@@kingofchase2539 he said "faen" (fuck) when he blundered the pawn
@==/A\== well said!!
@@kingofchase2539 He basically whispered "fuck" in norwegian after blundering the pawn. That's it.
I have used helpmate analyser. Maybe there are a huge number of helpmates in this position. The engine shows 13 solutions for six moves and then tells us the maximum number was exceeded.
Why not to imagine there may be hundreds of possible helpmates here?
7:52-For once I actually found the winning move. Looks like I'm ready to challenge magnus.
I found it too. I'm only an 1800 player.
prestidigitation is also important in plitz chess so that the pieces do not fall on the board.
When your time ends before opponent time, that means in return you had the opportunity previously to think more and play better and have the advantage on the chessboard. illogical consume more time than your opponent and get ahead of him, and when your time runs out you say you had the advantage to win .. so its plitz
no one expected aronian to giveaway his queen against carlsen
this was in rapid, so whatever
@@MatsMatsuo under time pressure, anyone can blunder. In the Tata steel India 2019, an Indian GM made an illegal move against Nakamura!
@@ramimagdi7525 he made the illegal move to gain time and search for a draw, that was pretty obvious
@@ramimagdi7525 i said that "whatever" cause this Aronian's game doesn't matters, cause it was played on rapid and not on blitz, like this one against firouzja
Best Explaination Ever
Thank you! I didnt know that rule, i thought that if you lose on time that was it! He was really mad, i saw the game and didn’t understand anything....
Good explanation. Thanks
"He who has the match won, loses & vice versa" such is the nature of blitz chess, also any adversaries of Magnus!
Wow that explanation of why this match wasn't a draw is why I subscribed to your channel. You're so good at explaining these technical chess scenarios!
Will remember this as the day that Faze Sway accused magnus of loud speaking.
i bet agads bank manager will be happy with all these uploads
Am I missing something. the whole purpose of the clock is to force play
He lose on time simple
If he won the appeal that would mean you could just win a pawn then let your time run out lol
I know he’s young but that was an amateur move for a GM
It's a draw if the only person able to deliver checkmate's clock runs out. If that weren't the case, you'd have situations where someone only has a king left and runs it around the board when they have a time advantage and win the game.
@@Okiesmokie his reaction and the complaint about magnus cussing disturbing him is kinda silly but the rules about knocking over pieces are stupid as well and he doesn't deserve to lose a game because he must spend his last few seconds picking up a piece
