Magnus also has said good thinks about keymer, who he faced this round. And also nihal when it comes to speed chess. He's also gave props to every single young player except Hans, sadly for the reason everyone knows. Theres a photo where magnus and Hans were playing in the beach right before "chess speaks for ir self" moment.. Some have said Magnus was already knowing Hans steps in the past so he (magnus) was testing Hans. People seem to not know the whole story
@@ndnd7614 Not talking about today. Bru Keymer was the one who was worst the whole match, only had a chance in the first classical Game and took it. 2nd day and tie breaks were magnus better the whole time but Keymer defended pretty well and magnus couldnt convert endgames he usually used to convert effortlesslly but big props for keymer for defending as magnus wouldve defended in those positions
They also played on the same team in the Global Chess League, I'm pretty sure. And Pragg was 7.5/8 or something like that for Magnus's team, the Alpine Warriors..
2nd : Maybe the 2 WFRCCs are distracted by relationships? GMHikaru - newly wed AtousaChess ? GMWesleySo123 - 1 year anniversary carissayipchess since Olympiad (see Carissa header) ? Also : Is Vidit the biggest reason India would want classical 9LX? Vidit beat Sergey Karjakin to get in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals. But then... Wesley So & Fabi expectedly do better in classical than in rapid for both 9LX & chess. Now, I'm not familiar with Vidit but - Wesley So does 30% better. - Fabi does 40% better. - VIDIT DOES 300% BETTER. LIKE 50% CLASSICAL SCORE BUT 12.5% RAPID SCORE. Vidit in 9LX - is the top Indian classical player - is the worst rapid player among the top 9 of the 2019 WFRCC. - in classical ties for 2nd place w/ Fabi & Nepo behind Wesley So. When is Tata Steel Classical Chess960 ? It should be a knockout where Vidit is seeded into the quarter-finals. It can be 60min, not 120min. P.s. In the 2019 WFRCC, wesley so beat magnus in 3x classical in a row! Question : When was the last time this happened in chess that someone lost 3x classical in a row in the finals of a FIDE or PCA WCC (or finals of knockouts candidates or semi-finals of a knockout WCC) ? Answer : Vishy Anand beat Alexei Shirov in 2000. 2 whole decades Vishy's record stood - broken only in a variant!

Gukesh is second in fide circuit so he has decent chances of actually qualifying for candidates. Pragg probably has a much more need to get a candidate spot by performing well this tournament. If he does, then India really is assured 2 candidates spot in the next one. And Erigaisi also is in similar situation to Pragg. For them this tournament is very crucial.
@@kunalsingh4418This time the Top 3 players of the world cup are going to the Candidates . I can imagine the Top 3 players in Magnus , Fabiano and one of the Indian youngsters
India has the stupidest people in the developed world, but it compensates for cognitive insufficiency fairly nicely, as the smartest people who are exceptional at abstract majors are also from India--so it's not that bad.
Genuinely surprised at how decisively Pragg crushed Hikaru here. For someone who is known especially for being a huge threat in faster time controls, Hikaru really seemed to be hapless in this game.
Like WOW Go Pragg I think most people know Pragg is an excellent player that just improves but Hikaru to me is like Magnus toughest Competition the two OG’s of GM Chess this was really an upset Vincent played excellent against Magnus These young players are talented and Hungry I’m Rooting For Gukesh Pragg or Fabiano hoping one of those three can win it all congratulations to Nepo as well that guy just won’t go away 😅 Let the Best Player Win and even though I’m not a Magnus fan if he wins than I’ll humbly acknowledge and Praise him as Greatest of all time as people already say he is Sorry Agadmator about those few rotten apples that send those ridiculous comments they have some kind of a chip on shoulder issues You’re the Best Number 1 I believe so as many others do as well All Hail Agadmator the man of the Chess Hour 🤩♟️
Congratulations to my man Pragga! Hikaru is number 3 in classical Chess rankings and to deferat him so elegantly is really something! Interestingly 4 Indians in the final 32. Future of Chess is bright where Chess was invented 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Is just another excuse for Hikaru to say he's not a professional player for every blunder they interview him about it .he's competing in major professional tournaments after all 😂
it is really a very proud and inspiring moment to see 4 indian players in top 16 of FIDE wrld cup, defintely rooting for them but its not gonna be easy!
As few others mentioned, Pragg is not a legacy of Anand. All credits should go to his lovely dedicated parents and his coach Ramesh. We may say Gukesh is the legacy of Anand.
Whenever duda plays a tournament,he is considered the black horse.he will be slow silent and creeping towards the first place I bet my money on duda this time too
Magnus sees himself in Pragg, that's why quickly got up and congratulated him while Magnus's own game going on in the table beside. Pragg's the worthy successor of Anand's throne in the long run, But for Now, it's Gukesh.
Why people says he will be champ when he is actually one of the least rated GM in top Tournaments He is not even best rated Indian GM... I love Praggs but is people hyping him ???
Prag is definitely made from world champion material. In the last couple of weeks/months he plays brilliantly, so if he can make this form constant, I can imagine him as a contender for the title.
But big respected man how can ignore 64 square king Kong of chess Aravind chidambaram he tossed Five times championship Vishy Anand and fooled Wesley so. For me Aravind Chidambaram is just like Egalivan in Mahabharat
So glad to see Naka lose! When streaming is not profitable, Naka will then say he's back from retirement of professional chess because it will then pay better.
I miss the days when agad used to call him “young praggu” 😌😌
2 days older for that, now...?!?!
Agad has proved he is an ai as no human can be this consistent with quality content
You never see Stockfish and Agad in the same room at the same time. It makes you wonder.
They also call him B4
No. AI is way behind Agad in quality and precision!
Yes, Agad is a GM is chess analysis 😊
I tell all my friends in the bar at the library Agadmator’s channel is the eighth wonder on TH-cam. And there is nothing left to be said 😊
Thats a great gesture from Magnus! He he has immense regards for Pragg and Alireza than any other junior. Tells you a lot about these 2!
Also Erigaisi. Carlsen and Caruana both said Arjun's Chess is incredible.
Magnus also has said good thinks about keymer, who he faced this round. And also nihal when it comes to speed chess.

What a legendary moment. 🔥
Pragg🔥🔥🔥 Anands legacy is in Safe hand indeed🫡
There is Gukesh in between
Pagg won't carry Anand 's legacy it's gukesh, pragg will built his won
How exactly does one man carry on another's legacy, especially if unrelated?
Now Rule of Four-🎉
Guyz😂😂😂 I didn’t mean literally, nobody can be Anand. But after Anand it will be Gukesh and pragg..
How proud Pragg must be to overpower the mighty Nakamura!
Indian destroyed the Chinese man.
well its black and he needs a win. it will be a diff story if Nakamura has the white pcs. but Pragg is a beast in this competition.
@@gotellyourmomkid6033Pragg won with black too😅

I gave edge to Hikaru. But as Agad says, "it is what it is".
2-0. GG Pragg.
Close to?? Gukesh is 2761

2nd : Maybe the 2 WFRCCs are distracted by relationships?
GMHikaru - newly wed AtousaChess ?

Also :
Is Vidit the biggest reason India would want classical 9LX?

Vidit in 9LX
- is the top Indian classical player
- is the worst rapid player among the top 9 of the 2019 WFRCC.
- in classical ties for 2nd place w/ Fabi & Nepo behind Wesley So.

Wow Hikaru got totally obliterated
This was a rapid game I think !?
Famines, pseudo-religious superstitions, walking barefoot, etc. seem to have contributed to these boys playing chess well.

Thucydides would be appalled at my lack of Sicilian knowledge!😅😂😂
But big respected man how can ignore 64 square king Kong of chess Aravind chidambaram he tossed Five times championship Vishy Anand and fooled Wesley so. For me Aravind Chidambaram is just like Egalivan in Mahabharat
Speed king exits from the World Cup speedily........lol
Seems like the only counter for hikaru is indian
In this game hikaru playing so bad
you can't spell "Praggananda" without "Anand"
And it was in this position that you have an Unstoppable Prag!!
