There's something about you Agad that really makes me come back. You bring grace to chess. You poke fun at yourself. You insert inadvertent satire like "The D-file becomes the Ding file" You have this "Sorry about that" Thing that you need to make a video about. You are contributing to community chess across the world because I am using your content to train kids. Thanks.
As far as I understand the "sorry about that" thing is about disabling the speakers because he usually uses them and forgets to turn them off (doesnt want to have an echo of chess sounds i guess)
I don’t have a question. Just an observation. I assumed that you would cover potential lines more closely than usual, being that this is the”World Chess Championship”. But you actually exceeded my expectations, showing so many great possibilities. And you are still the best chess TH-camr to listen to. No activity relaxes me more than sitting in the recliner and kicking back with your newest video. That’s why no matter how many subs you have and whatever “place” you are amongst the Chess Channel size rankings, you’ll always be number 1 for me. Great vid, as usual.
Agadmator is my favorite chess TH-camr as well. You may also like Chessbrah, which is Eric Hansen and Aman Hambleton (both GMs), and some friends. They're both Canadian, and both awesome. The music is great, the vibes are great, the chess is great. They're definitely the best chess streamers (with the possible exception of Hikaru). Among other things, Eric is known for putting a drunk Hikaru Nakamura in a headlock when Hikaru challenged him to a fight at some party (there's a video!). Not to be outdone, Aman also won his fight in Ludwig's Mogul Chessboxing event last year, with a spectacular victory against Lawrence Trent. Magnus Carlsen also just lived at their house for a few weeks and played and streamed on Twitch with them a fair amount, which was very entertaining. My specific recommendations are: Eric has a Hippo Speedrun series right now which is amazing, and Aman has an English Speedrun series right now which is almost as good (I'll give the edge to the Hippo Speedrun though). Both series are very calming and fun to watch, while also being entertaining and very sharp! The commentary is hilarious and the gameplay is amazing. Anyway, glad you enjoy Agadmator so much. He's still my favorite chess TH-camr, I watch all of his videos religiously :D He's just the best!
his 4 hour late analysis is a exact copy of the LIVE analysis done by SAGAR SHAH (of chessbase india)... Agad has stolen every single word from this analysis ... content thiev
@C 2 Yes, the guy who made it to a million subs before the twitch boom of chess needs to steal content from a load of people that can't even speak English properly, because that sounds plausible.

Hearing that Richard Rapport is Ding's second makes me very interested to see what Ding does with the white pieces. Here's to hoping for some crazy lines.
Choosing a second whose style is so different from his own seems a bit weird to me. Unless he thinks he is THAT much worse than Nepo (Ding is not), there’s no reason to go so far out of his comfort zone.
@@TheChefCain he must have. Nepo played like trash. It wasn't even a WCC match feeling as usually the challenger plays better than a 1700 club player.
I don't know why people are like "Its not fun without Magnus". Ik it is not, but Magnus decided not to play. Its not the fault of Nepo and Ding. They have worked there ass off for this and whosoever wins is our champion. Just support them and enjoy the game. Even I love Magnus but he is not playing so there is no use of any of the hate for these 2.
who says its the fault of nepo and ding? nobody hate them bro, me personally just feel the true champion is still magnus, that's it. ofc we hope for the best in this wcc, but it is not fun without the goat.
A game at the highest level of tactics, full of extensive calculation. Even your analysis is on the top level. It is the first time to see you analysing a game on such level. I am so amazed with the game and your analysis Mr Antony. Great thanks.
Just a little suggestion- I think other channels have some sort of visual cue for when they enter into analysis mode to explore a hypothetical line that wasn't played. Would be nice to have here
To everyone asking: The man who made the first move is named Captain McSparklePants. (The son of Commodore McSparklePants, who made the first move at Linares '99.)
Very much looking forward to this. But surely, may i suggest that Ding Liren deserves an updated photo? The one you're currently using, i'm sure i've seen it for many years now... Thanks for your consideration, and of course your channel. ❤️❤️❤️
A bit of Deja vu perhaps for Nepo fans? Geat preparation, the middlegame was abt as exciting as it can get for a Ruy Lopez, although it fizzled out after Nepo missplayed it just before time control. Ding kinda dodged a bullet today. Another tough opening day for him in big 'tournament', but hey at least he survived this time
@@cr0mag732 the engine evaluation doesn't matter. Wat I meant is he didnt find the right way to put pressure on Ding and force him to defend a tricky endgame
Yeah I used to criticize Agad for being too simplistic (I am borderline expert in rating) but compared to other commentators out there he's now the gold standard for chess commentary.
@@raylopez99 I agree, he is the gold standard. No BS exaggerations, no clickbait titles. He didn't sell out like some other chess youtubers *cough gothamchess caugh*, he's staying true to his craft and I respect that :)
Hi I have been watching your videos for a few years - I love how more educational your explanations have become, how you explain basic (or not so basic) concepts at various points in the game. This is way different from live coverage done by GMs who don't explain these concepts in the heat of the moment during their analysis.
Really interesting game, had no idea there were so many variations behind the scenes, especially with the queen sac lines Ding looked under pressure near the time control, I wonder if it's Nepo's tendency to falter under pressure or Ding's stelwart defense or some combination of the two
Magnus still highest rated classical player after this WCC concludes so it will still mean he is the best at classical. Didn't want to spend over half a year prepping for one match against the same opponent that he crushed last WCC for the record since he got multiple wins in classical against Nepo, that usually doesn't happen.
Thumbs up if you agree the classical chess championship should be the "first player to get to six wins", like the 1984 Kasparov-Karpov match. The only way for a fair match, since with a shorter format players are hesitant to play since one loss might mean you lose the entire championship. This is one reason Magnus decided not to defend his title, besides boredom.
35:11 Pi = 3.14 Time left = 3 minutes 14 seconds = 3 + 14/60 minutes = 3 + 0.2333... minutes = 3.233... minutes Thus it's not pi but pu amount of time left for Ding
"The D-file might become the Ding file" LOL this is why you're the best, Antonio ♥ How long were you sitting on that joke for, man? That just rolled out like you didn't even think about it. My guess is, you had that cocked and loaded for MONTHS and you were just waiting to fire it off at the right time. 😂🤣
Hi Agad, I just wanted to point out that the last WCC was decided in the classical time format. I believe you mistakenly said that the WCC hadn't been decided since Anand vs Carlsen
Really great analysis. Just for free shortly after the game. Even classial chess are now getting faster with the aid of computers and expert's knowledge.
my analysis this game one: Nepo = give simple opening after bishop take knight, but to slow convert middle game because choose saver plan Ding: too slow aproachment opening after knight d7, computer like bishop pin knight just to avoid Knight take e5. But Good at middle game and some saver plan at endgame. Conclusion: If both player play like this, unlikely must be draw, instead if a player take a risky plan that be a fire and cool chess aproachment. Im from Indonesia, Thank Mr. Radic!
# suggestion maybe you can show some games from other world championships my suggestion would be Boatvinnik vs. Petrosian game 18 a positional masterpiece
I dont care how much the other chess youtubers try to make the vodeo interesting by there speaking skills.. they still lack analysis of this scale... Lines and varistions u show are just gold no youtuber will shaw these lines.. Its ok with me if the video is long ... Keep making these types of longer videos....
Question about the match: Do FIDE and both players negotiate before the match how the match will be played? Like how many games, numbers of the rest days, what format if they are equal in the end of classical time format,... And also how many hours in classical, increments or no increments, or increments after move X. Did FIDE and both players negotiated this format Agad described at the start of the video? I'm asking because I know Magnus was negotiating with FIDE how the match should be played before he decided he won't play.
No, they don't. FIDE is an organization, and is pretty rigid in their structuring of the rules and tournament play. I think Magnus had problems agreeing with the rules that were very much against him despite being the best player. I believe it was recorded that Fischer had the same/similar problems, and demanded a lot (which might or might not have been reasonable) from tournament organizers because of so.
@@GamerX998 If I was playing WC, I would expect **some** leeway. At least when in the day do the matches start (like 10:30am). And regarding rest days. Like 2 matches, rest day, 2 matches, 2 rest days, repeat. Some leeway has to there. If anyone has any information, please share.
#suggestion the 18th game of the Kasparov/Karpov championship match, Karpov wins with black. A very "nerves of steel" game by Karpov, entertaining as well.
For videos like this one, I’d love some indicator of actual line played in game vs side line! Perhaps a symbol in corner or a certain color around the board rim for side line?
Believe me, I love Tal and the playstyles of Aleksei Shirov & Dubov, but now that everyone has engine prep, GMs are much better defensively. In classical chess is when this is made most apparent because the last thing you want to do is go into a line where your opponent has considerable # of engine lines. In WCC, these two have spent months with 2nds and computers.
At 15:00 What about Bxh3? Surely this just wins a pawn because after gxh3, black can play Qxd4? Or if Qxh3 black can still play Qxd4, or can trade queens on h3 first and then play Rxd4? Also at 29:26 Why not Nb7 to protect the a pawn for black? I know it's a bit of a slow move but surely saving one pawn will make a big difference in the endgame?
it's funny how the switchup in the time format aims at pushing players to make more mistakes because of time troubles which results in more decisive games and more entertainment but it's kind of odd that we want players to play worse chess, because the result is more enjoyable and decisive basically worse chess -> better chess

I didn't know the championship had started. No fanfare. My first thought was that this video was an April Fool's joke. Do we miss Magnus? To energize things, Ding should take off an article of clothing after move 20 and each move after that. This series needs something.

looking forward to watching the reviews of this championship. thanks Agad
Great analysis. I saw a game without commentars but this one showed all the cute details.
"A move that Nepo would play..." begs the question, "Which Nepo? Good Nepo who is creative as anyone with OTB moves, or bad Nepo who blunders games?"
The tournament which determines who's the best chess player behind Magnus
yep.
We should really leave those comments behind, he quit, that's it. Focus on the amazing games we will be seeing.
Magnus still highest rated classical player after this WCC concludes so it will still mean he is the best at classical. Didn't want to spend over half a year prepping for one match against the same opponent that he crushed last WCC for the record since he got multiple wins in classical against Nepo, that usually doesn't happen.

Shocking 😶
Can’t remember the last time we had a good game from a world championship match. Everyone plays so safe not to lose. We need a modern day Tal
We have Richard Rapport, but by the way that elo favours not taking risks. It would be very unlikely that Richard reaches world champion level.
Caruana vs Magnus was kinda fun even tho it was 12 draws.
We already have atleast one, but they're loosing
Believe me, I love Tal and the playstyles of Aleksei Shirov & Dubov, but now that everyone has engine prep, GMs are much better defensively. In classical chess is when this is made most apparent because the last thing you want to do is go into a line where your opponent has considerable # of engine lines. In WCC, these two have spent months with 2nds and computers.
Tal has one of the highest draw percentages among top GMs. Food for thought...
I've been following you since 2017 :)
Sometimes I doze off to sleep... But that makes me sleep peacefully
This probably the longest vid on this channel! Damn.. 😍
What a battle!!!
Really loved this game.
Not all exciting games end in a win.
No draw offer until room 40. That's great! These rules will make it exciting!
At 15:00
What about Bxh3? Surely this just wins a pawn because after gxh3, black can play Qxd4?
Or if Qxh3 black can still play Qxd4, or can trade queens on h3 first and then play Rxd4?
Also at 29:26
Why not Nb7 to protect the a pawn for black? I know it's a bit of a slow move but surely saving one pawn will make a big difference in the endgame?
I am wondering how agad is preparing for video. This is so real quick. May be he started to record after the completely new game 🤣
Agad had more than time to prepare for the video while Ding was out of the chair

It will be interesting to see who wins Best Player in the Non-Magnus category
it's funny how the switchup in the time format aims at pushing players to make more mistakes because of time troubles
which results in more decisive games and more entertainment
but it's kind of odd that we want players to play worse chess, because the result is more enjoyable and decisive
basically worse chess -> better chess
Wish this tournament was played every year
2nd comment: Women's chess
A - Was Kg6 in Dina's 1st GM slaying game in Reykjavik sexism? Like looking down on Dina?
B - Anna Cramling's dad beats Mikhail Tal. #suggestion
C - Philippine women's chess #suggestion - WGM Janelle Frayna, the female Wesley So, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz.
There's a 13-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here.
[Variant "From Position"]
[FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"]
1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qe6 Bf6 7. Qe8+ Kc7 8. Qc8+ Kd6 9. e5+ Qxe5 10. d8=R+ Bxd8 11. Qxd8+ Kc6 12. Qa8+ Kb5 13. Qxa2
For some reason none of the Philippine channels except Kelvinllovejr even cover this game. LOL. But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on.
P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See

I didn't know the championship had started. No fanfare. My first thought was that this video was an April Fool's joke.
Do we miss Magnus? To energize things, Ding should take off an article of clothing after move 20 and each move after that. This series needs something.
21:54 the ding file.. nice one :D
A 40 minute analysis of WCC match 2023 between two exceptional candidates towards the World Champion! Agadmator really gives out some quality content for us!! 👍👍👍
Awesome analysis
Another tie. BUT there's a lot of chess horsepower in this game that makes it both fascinating and satisfying.
Amazingly in-depth analysis of this game here. I'm impressed Ding was able to hold this to a draw in time trouble.
Love the in-depth analysis on this one, well done.
"Just play Queen B2 and win a pawn, like that ever worked out for anyone." LOL, I'm literally in tears!
damn Agad that's a whole movie😍
Magnus would have played on in this endgame with either colour.
Well he abdicated, causing this unsatisfactory situation.
He would not play a thing if he wanted to play he would sit right there behind the table defending the title instead chose to be childish chicken aka fischer n2 afraid to lose some of his rating points. That's just an insult to the fans
It woud be interesting to see who is the best SECOND player in the world
