Hari also performed well in the Chess Olympiad. Board 5 members hardly get to play games, but whenever he did, he played excellently, and always came in clutch
Gukesh is so impressive in tough endgames he finds the necessary moves with great precision . I figured it would be a tough game vs Harikrishna he’s been playing great chess himself but always rooting for my Favorite player Gukesh Thanks so much for the video Antonio 😊♟️‼️🇮🇳🏆
But today it was such an advantageous position, there wasnt too much to think. Hari's pieces were chained to his king. Only thing Gukesh had to ensure was avoiding a perpetual.
At this rate Gukesh would be the 2nd youngest ever to crack 2800 after Firouzja. He narrowly missed the chance to be the youngest ever, was rated 2794 at one point.
I expect a great game tomorrow of course being a Gukesh fan I’m rooting for him even if he were to lose it’s not a great embarrassment since Pragg is a great player as well what gets me is all the crap people talk when a player loses a game they fail to realize it is only one game
@@michaelmassaro4375Pragg has never beaten Gukesh in classical games. I expect Gukesh to win tomorrow, now with the added confidence of being the world champion
Another exciting game by Gukesh with his major new move being an imprecision that could have brought him into a very bad position, although the line was very difficult to see for Black (wonder if anybody would have seen it, except maybe Magnus Carlson). However, he fought like a lion to win the game and did in the end, after a couple of really creative manoeuvres. Great game again by this new, very young World Champion who plays exciting chess.
He should be.but looks like time is ticking away for him very quickly.he is gotta battle it out with Gukesh before Gukesh reaches his prime.coz make no mistake about it, we havent yet seen the best version of Gukesh, but we myt have already seen the best Fabi there could ever be
@@MildSpeculation he totally could have been. But those comments went out of hand recently especially on Gukesh related videos. Since Gukesh is the undeserving world champion as we all know.
@@thewarlordscalling6537 Agreed. But I'm not sure that any current or future version of Fabi can overcome even the chess Olympiad gold medal performance Gukesh. Not sure any past version of Fabi could overcome Olympiad Gukesh either. Not gonna comment on future Gukesh. Never know what the future holds.
@@agaminganimalFabi literally owns the greatest single tournament performance of all time. Don't pretend like Gukesh surpassed that in the Olympiad. Gukesh is incredible, but you Indians are delusional
Really happy for Gukesh. After the outstanding play in the Candidates and then the WC win, he needed a good showing in a high level tournament to show his WC was not a fluke but he is indeed a force to be reckoned with. And he has done it with such grace. Clawing back from losing positions and capitalizing on winning ones.
Gukesh the youngest world chess champion studied in a school called Velammal Vidyalaya about 2 kilometres from my house in Chennai even Prag studied at the Velammal school I happened to meet Prags father Mr Ramesh Babu while shopping in Mogappiar a very simple man
New to chess but I love it when the King marches ( forced March?) up the board to participate even with all the potent opposition pieces still on the board.
With that King Walk now I really realized why Agadmator called him the world champion in the first day, I was skeptical and thought maybe he doesn't deserve to be the world champion after all but now with this extremely magical trap 🪤 and this King 👑 walk I get it why he's the world champion and he not only deserve but proved here why he's the world champion, so I guess Indian people are more happy after all because this Indian man proved here he's gonna be a world champion for a very long time 😁😁😁😁 and India is going to have the title for a very long time if he keeps continuing this madness on the board 😎👍✅
Unfortunately I suppose Arjun has some health issues. There should be a way in the rules for exit midway in such cases.He is just draining rating points now which is so sad.
I had an idea of a fun team match 😬 You assemble two teams with ~50 players, with each player's rating starting from abysmally low to god-like. Each team will have players who face eachother based on their respective elos. And now for the experiment! The first match is where the noobs start. The openings will be atrocious, by the mid game each teams will have a tactical slaughrfest playing out the madness on the board and the god tier players will inherit a demolition site of an ending to somehow close it out. As for game two, we reverse it. The sigma brains will open up the board beautifully. Our mid-tier players will probably ruin the lines with vcioius attacks, and the potato brains (like me!) will probably just blender to a stale mate! Let me know what you think... I think it would be a hoot :)
Since the French was played in the last two world championships it would be interesting to see it become (really) popular at the highest levels! (Of course, Harikrishna has played it for a while already.)
Well played gukesh and well played Harikrishna both are great players no doubt. Great to see this type of matches and uur analysis and commentry is so nice its clear and very easy to understand.Every matches give us lessons to understand,for beginner players like me 👍♟️
And Gukesh is still young and hasn't reached his peak yet. The clock is ticking for Caruana and Hikaru. In another 10 years or so, Gukesh will reach his peak and will be untouchable for the old generation.
I think he is already untouchable for the likes of Caruana and Hikaru who have always lacked that fighting spirit. May be in some tournament we will see the proof of that. World cup for example, where there can only be one winner.
I thought there was a possibility of Rxh5 followed by Qh7 # if Harikrishna didn't play f5. This would have been worth mentioning but you gave different reasons for Hari's move. Did I miss something ?
@agadmator : absoltely no issues. There is nobody out there who covers it as professionally and crisp as you do!! And *in this position* The crowd cheerfully agreed to the glitch making way for agadmator to check mate us through his commentary ;)
To all indians commenting about Magnus...please stop, there is no point discussing that here. This is the exact reason we are not respected much outside.
Ding would have been amused to see his most recent opponent and his second use their preparation for Ding against each other . Also , he would have been very happy to see the beginning of an "Immortal King walk" when the opponent resigned .
Definitely not his WC prep. That match was all 3. Nc3 variations. Here Gukesh played the advanced variation. Besides it makes no sense to use this against Hari if they prepared it together.
You should have brief about french and gukesh relation..... How he lost against french in world championship..... How hari might have helped prepared guki on french defense.....Hari might have thought that gukesh has some weakness in french.... How guki overcome french.
Just thinking, Gukesh vs Arjun is gonna be on the last day. If Gukesh has a chance of winning the tournament on the last day, is Arjun just going to give a free victory to Gukesh😅 Doesn't look very unlikely 😌
@@gitaliborgohain2560No no I was referring to the endgame (min 9:19) instead of going with Qb8 to Qd6, Hari’s only move for a draw is Rg8 to Rf8 (when Qb8 stays as is). He missed it
With the white king on h6 and the white knight on g5 Black could've save the game with ♛ g4 threatning checkmate and white would have to give up his queen settle for a draw

#suggestion Nodirbek Yakubboev against Vaishali R.
Lot of people think Hari to be just a point feeder. But at his peak, Hari was 2770 elo and world number 10. A strong super GM on every parameter.
Hari also performed well in the Chess Olympiad. Board 5 members hardly get to play games, but whenever he did, he played excellently, and always came in clutch
i dont know man who is saying that? can you cite proper sources?? Arjun on the other hand is feeding points losing to someone 200 points below lol

He’s starting his reign as WC in an exciting way
At this rate Gukesh would be the 2nd youngest ever to crack 2800 after Firouzja. He narrowly missed the chance to be the youngest ever, was rated 2794 at one point.
Yeah but that doesn't seem of much value nowadays. Cracking 2800. I mean not something that Gukesh will actively pursue.
@@UnknownUser-j3n what? Is this sarcasm? 😅
He probably doesn't care, youngest WC has much more weight to it
please dont talk about a not-french fashion designer, son of a mafia boss
@@DC-zi6se it was plain and simple. Why pursue a record in doing something that all tom dick and harrys have already done.
A title could have been "First vs Second" as Hari was Guki's second in World Championship and Guki primarily played French.

8:21 it was to stop the rook from taking the pawn on the edge of the board otherwise it would be checkmate soon.
Exactly f5 wasters Rxh5+ and then Qh7#.
Also, what happens after Qf4 by black instead of Nf5 (responding to Re1, when the knightnwas on e3)?
Oops! Qxg7 and Nxe6+. Fork!!
