Q5 - Hikaru cheated the late Arianne Caoili's spouse Levon in 2016 candidates. That was OTB where there was security. Why wouldn't Hikaru cheat online where there's little to no security? That's more plausible than Hans' case: Hans cheated online and then all of a sudden Hans is expected to cheat OTB when there's so much security. Lol. --- Well to me personally someone's previous history of cheating is irrelevant as to whether or not I think they're cheating now - the only thing I care about is the tournament's level of security: If I were in the white house ( NUoCQ5A4w-A ) then I wouldn't care if, say, Ismail Haniyeh or whomever was there are as long as they were thoroughly checked.

Looks like it was made for a cartel boss or a gangsta rap star. Normally, you don't see the words "bling" and "chess" together in the same sentence, but there are always exceptions :)
Agadmator: "I will end this once and for all" Anakin Skywalker: "No, the pawn must live" Agadmator: "The pawn controlls the back rank and the senat, he´s too dangerous to be kept alive 6:58
It's only possible when the pawn lands directly next to the other. So the black pawn would need to be on C4, rather than C3. I had to go and check this as well because I had the same thought
Great analysis. Suggestion: could you put timer dashboard for the players on these analyses, so we can see when moves were made? I don’t know how much work it would be, but I think it’s great for understanding how long people take to make all their moves including the early moves. Thanks. Just a thought.
@agadmator I have got to thank you for your wonderful videos and excellent observations. Watching you channel for years allowed me to analyze things better throughout pivotal moments in my career. Not to mention the wonderful energy and entertainment factor you bring to chess. I will always be a supporter.
At 5:59, when Levon first declines the bishop trade and captures the pawn on e5, why can’t Wesley capture the undefended dark square bishop for a free piece? I’m sure I’m missing something, but can’t figure out what.
Rd5 after bishop takes on f6 looks crushing. You attack the Queen and the Knight and the white Kings is exposed compared to the black King. I checked with Engine that after Rd5 engine says it is almost -1. There's also e3 in that position as a resource for black.
Next day, at a certain Las Vegas pawn shop... Rick: So, what do we have here? Levon: A Mongolian chess set which I won in the American Cup that just finished yesterday. Rick: How much do you want for it? Levon: I was thinking maybe two grand. Rick: Are you the world champion? Levon: No, but I've been a candidate a few times. Rick: In that case, I'll give you ten bucks and a slightly used sudoku book. Levon: Hmmm... how "slightly used"? Rick: I've done every puzzle but I've left one square unsolved in each of them. Levon: Really? Well, that seem *more* than generous. Deal!

"Feel free to pause the video and find the losing move, as you're really good at this" "For those of you that were able to do it, congratulations on staying true to your elo" ~Agadmator, 2024
That chess set is a little too much for me. If the pieces are made from wood, and "sparkled" with precious materials, it's somehow different. Why? Because chess is supposed to be a "simple" game, with simple rules, but very complex. So for me, that chess set doesn't represent "the spirit" of chess. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't accept if someone wants to give it to me. :)
Levon dominating in this game I saw another game from that tournament where Levon beat Wesley So as well it was a tight game until the end where Wesley traded down giving his Queen by taking a Rook the game ended not long after that I also saw where the young 14 yr old lady Alice Lee won the woman’s half of that tournament and was also given a similar Chess Set and Bracelet she defeated Irina Krush maybe you’ll feel up to showing one of their games Suggestion# Alice Lee vs Irina Krush Have a Good Day Thanks for the Game
6:36 can anyone explain to me what this move even does? normally with backward knight moves you wanna redirect it to a better square but here there are no squares to jump to other than d2, the square it just left, also, it doesnt really protect any pieces that need protection so what gives?

Not sure but if you capture the bishop and don't defend the E column, black plays Rook d3 and white is lost. Black can capture the Knight or attack f3 even harder.

At 5:56, I'm surprised Agadmator did not cover why black can just "hang" the bishop. I assume it's due to Rd3 winning back the knight.
Yes, I want answers. Very confusing
I was just about to type that lol, I had rewinded it and paused like 'wait a minute..' It is odd that he just completely glossed over an obvious free piece and why it wouldn't work..
Yeah that’s quite disturbing
Like why didn’t Wesley take the free bishop ?
The Mongolian chess set looks like something Levon would wear...
.
😂😂😂
It is nice to see Levon in the winners' bracket once again!
5:58 rook e1 is not to develop his pieces, it's to prevent Rd3 by Levon (which incidentally was also why the undefended bishop could not be captured)
Why white goes rook to e1 instead of bishop to f6?

at 5.57, who can tell me why Wesley did not capture the black bishop by his white bishop???
At 6:00 why not Bb2xBf6
Same question! Thanks for asking
"e captures on f6... but not really."
Vsauce voice: exf6... _or does it_ ?
Aronian back on form.
Two of my favorite chess players!
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

(Armageddon in xiangqi was invented ronghua hu, the Bobby Fischer of Chinese chess!)
Q5 - Hikaru cheated the late Arianne Caoili's spouse Levon in 2016 candidates. That was OTB where there was security. Why wouldn't Hikaru cheat online where there's little to no security?
That's more plausible than Hans' case: Hans cheated online and then all of a sudden Hans is expected to cheat OTB when there's so much security. Lol.

Well to me personally someone's previous history of cheating is irrelevant as to whether or not I think they're cheating now - the only thing I care about is the tournament's level of security: If I were in the white house ( NUoCQ5A4w-A ) then I wouldn't care if, say, Ismail Haniyeh or whomever was there are as long as they were thoroughly checked.

That chess set is sick lol. Great job by Levon!
Congrats to Levon. He's one of a kind.
@1:41 why not capture en passant with a discovered check then get the rook ?
someone please explain!!! @agadmator
because that’s not how en passant works. The black pawn has to be on c4 (not c3)
That Mongolian chess set is amazing!
Looks like it was made for a cartel boss or a gangsta rap star. Normally, you don't see the words "bling" and "chess" together in the same sentence, but there are always exceptions :)
at 1:38, am wondering if Levon played unpassant and then he would have the king on check and take the rook on the next move
Congrat's to Super-GM Levon Aronian ! Well deserved victory & awesome tournament.
The above quote absolutely defines Levon, that's why I love him.

It should be R
Thank you agadmator for this amazing game and congrats levion❤❤😢
People actually look at the position in the thumbnail???
Why not take en passant on move 8 (pxb2)?
It's only possible when the pawn lands directly next to the other. So the black pawn would need to be on C4, rather than C3. I had to go and check this as well because I had the same thought
@@toastybowl so bc the pawn on C3 had taken already it is not permitted to capture en passant?
We love crazy chess! We 1200ers play it every game. 😂😂 Except with us, there's no method to our madness! 😅
Great analysis. Suggestion: could you put timer dashboard for the players on these analyses, so we can see when moves were made? I don’t know how much work it would be, but I think it’s great for understanding how long people take to make all their moves including the early moves.
Thanks. Just a thought.
Aronian, like pawns, is the soul of the game. The guy just loves his chess, and this was a stunning attack, a real beauty!
It's very impressive to take down Wesley So with such simplicity
I'm very surprised when Levon support Is.rael , big dogg
I like this, "crazy chess" Levon committed to. Hopefully he does it in more future tournaments.

Levon was phenomenal this tournament. I hope he enjoys the same longevity at the top that Vishy has enjoyed.
@agadmator I have got to thank you for your wonderful videos and excellent observations. Watching you channel for years allowed me to analyze things better throughout pivotal moments in my career. Not to mention the wonderful energy and entertainment factor you bring to chess. I will always be a supporter.
So glad Levon is in form I love watching him play!
Excellent play
At 5:59, when Levon first declines the bishop trade and captures the pawn on e5, why can’t Wesley capture the undefended dark square bishop for a free piece? I’m sure I’m missing something, but can’t figure out what.
Rd5 after bishop takes on f6 looks crushing. You attack the Queen and the Knight and the white Kings is exposed compared to the black King. I checked with Engine that after Rd5 engine says it is almost -1. There's also e3 in that position as a resource for black.
No, queen takes rook, pawn takes queen loses on the spot.
gg
Oops- meant pawn on d5
at 5:57 did Levon blunder his bishop on f6? and why didn't Wesley take it? 🤔
Same question, thanks for asking
I like f capture
Next day, at a certain Las Vegas pawn shop...

Levon: No, but I've been a candidate a few times.

~Agadmator, 2024
That chess set is a little too much for me. If the pieces are made from wood, and "sparkled" with precious materials, it's somehow different. Why? Because chess is supposed to be a "simple" game, with simple rules, but very complex. So for me, that chess set doesn't represent "the spirit" of chess. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't accept if someone wants to give it to me. :)

5:57 why doesn't white capture levons bishop?
rook d3 attacks the queen and wins back the piece. If Bxf6 then simply Rd3 and black is winning

I was looking at that move and thinking why doesn’t black take with en passant and wouldn’t it be check?
@@dantejohnson9509En passant was only possible if the black pawn was at c4
after rook captures on d5 why not bishop captures f6 ?? time stamp 5:55 please elaborate someone for me.
Same question, thanks for asking
Because after Bxf6 there is rook to D3 attacking the queen, and if you move the queen, the E pawn marches forward
ohk thnx
6:36 can anyone explain to me what this move even does? normally with backward knight moves you wanna redirect it to a better square but here there are no squares to jump to other than d2, the square it just left, also, it doesnt really protect any pieces that need protection so what gives?

5th: 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.

Couldn't Wesley have captured his bishop after the rook move?
Yes!
05:53. can someone explain why white bishop didnt capture black bishop for free? i don't see any of his pieces defending.
White Rook on f2 is defending it.
@dawitt.911 who is defending black bishop? It was whites move and he didn't take black bishop.
Because after Bxf6 there is rook to D3 attacking the queen, and if you move the queen, the E pawn marches forward
@robertbastrup8893 I thought of that but can't it be stopped? perhaps bringing bishop back and sacking it for that pawn? And even if you didn't do that can't it be blocked by that same rook that was moved to that file?
@robertbastrup8893 don't have an engine to put it into but I wonder if grabbing that bishop is losing. Assuming that marching pawn can't be stopped.
Levon is a beast !!❤❤❤❤
🙂
5:53 is the black bishop hanging?
there's rook f2 defending
Not sure but if you capture the bishop and don't defend the E column, black plays Rook d3 and white is lost. Black can capture the Knight or attack f3 even harder.
👍

@@OhMyByul0701 I don't think criticize a GM for always playing super conservatively for a draw only to keep getting GCT invitations can be view as toxic.

#suggestion can you include eval bar and clock in your games please
Lol new to the channel? We don't do that here.
Too much talk
Saying Levon winning 90k + 50k + Mongolian Chess set "is too much" seems disrespectful to the game. Losers in boxing and other games get millions of dollars. We need to value and promote Chess more being the most intellectual of duels fought with the mind.
that's a lot in chess
He meant the chess set visually was too much, like that the design of the pieces was too extravagant, not that Levon is making too much money from winning the tournament.
In 5:58 why didnt white capture the blacks bishop? It was undefended
Because after Bxf6 there is rook to D3 attacking the queen, and if you move the queen, the E pawn marches forward
6th: 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

2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech.
But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end.
move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle
it's so sharp

5th: 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.
