Hi agadmator... in one of your videos you said "the chosen one will come and help us find a way to beat the engines"... Where is that video and what do you mean by that?
in my experience playing the French, which I play all the time, one wrong movement and everything falls apart. But one wrong movement by my opponent and also everything falls for him.
I like that you mention when certain positions have been reached before and their continuations and when it's finally a new game. It's great! Also, when later a position has been reached before and its previous continuation too. You definitely put a lot of time into your videos 👍
Anyone else still amazed when the phrase 'it is of move (whatever it is) we have a completely new game'. Still love that after all these years & so many games we can still reach this position 😍
10:55 It's not that the white Queen is hanging (taking the Knight would un-hang the Queen!), it's that the white pawn is pinned by the black Queen and can't capture.
If my memory is correct, you told us a few months ago that, during the tournaments for determining the world champion challenger, the last time a person won with a French defense was more than fifteen years ago.
#suggestion GM Mark Paragua vs. FM Tanitoluwa Adewumi, New York Fall Invitational 2022. Tani won a beautiful and complex attacking game with the black pieces at 12 years of age!
This is how I learn to play chess by watching the masters play. It has been said that if one wants to get good play someone who is better than you, never play someone who you are better than.
Pawn structure somehow reminded me of game 9 of the 2013 Anand - Carlsen championship match, one of the games that could have been of the greatest of all time but ended too soon.
Engine couldn't find a crushing line because there are too many pieces on the board and the number of calculations increases exponentially with that and the depth as well. Most of those deeper lines also probably contain many pieces which makes it even harder to crunch through.
Même pas un français ;-) I had similar problems as White last month in Chiang Mai (Bangkok Chess Club tournament) in the Advance French, where Black played the c4 variation closing queenside. I tried the f4-f5 pawn break too,...,but cannot put my pieces correctly in order..so I lost miserably. I learned later from one of many books about the French Defense, that better is with g3-Bh3 (with or without h4 to counter g5) and sometimes with a knight moving to e3. It's difficult to wander in the jungle of variations,..,and I understand why Anish gambited a pawn in the Boleslavsky variation (with f4/Be3).
On the subject of perpetual checks, I've noticed that the Lichess engine (Fairy Stockfish) is programmed to avoid allowing itself to be drawn through a perpetual check. All I can think is that it calculates who is winning, and if it thinks FS is ahead that it cannot permit a perpetual check. I have actually defeated F.S. on many occasions when it refused to accept a draw by perpetual check, thinking it could win, and it then proceeded to make some overly aggressive move that blew the game altogether.
En tant qu'une des rares personnes parlant couramment le français s'exprimant sur cette chaîne, je dirais à propos du choix de défense de Magnus : "Qu'importe le vin pourvu qu'on ait l'ivresse" . Un proverbe bien français. Qui aurait été un meilleur titre de la vidéo je pense. Autrement dit, il peut se permettre de jouer n 'importe quelle défense , être inférieur et gagner quand même vu sa classe.
I think after black knight captures pawn on f7, white queen captures the newly hanging knight on e6 with a check. This makes the material even with white in a strong attacking position and tempo. It appears after the queen checks the king, the only move is king to f8. If the black queen blocks the check, it leaves the black rook on c8 hanging which will be captured by the white queen.
Qg3, f5 and h4 were my candidates though. (Prefered in that order) Reasons: 1. Tempo move 2. pawnbreak, bc centered king 3. pawnstorm, bc closed center
A very nice and thematic French. everything locks everything down and Black dares White to attack. While White can be and is better, it’s very hard, even on the highest levels, to push through and make use of that advantage- frequently , White will just overextend, oversacrifice, and end up worse after which Black just cleans up. My favorite opening as Black!
I'm so confused. After attacking the knight at 8:01 why didn't Anish just take the knight on the next move. I can only assume I am missing something obvious (which happens all the time)
I enjoyed the non-pause-the-video moment, continuing the game, then the deep analysis at the end.
Hear hear! It makes the game easier to follow when the side steps are too deep
"There's that annoying move that always saves you whenever you have a bad position"
Immediately looks to see if b4 is possible
😂😂
The title is absolutely hilarious. Antonio has such a great sense of humour.
If you're one of the people who are learning french atm as well, even more so.
Hi agadmator... in one of your videos you said "the chosen one will come and help us find a way to beat the engines"... Where is that video and what do you mean by that?
Did you also notice that the last part of the video has the title "D.E.L." (for Disgusting Engine Line)?
I showed my friends in the bar and library the title and they all laughed also
Mais Oui. Tres Bien.
"Even though Qb6 is played more often...it is literally last year's move." - Agadmator (renowned chess fashionista) 😂
Me when Antonio finishes explaining the depth 45 line: Ah yes, of course.
😂
Glad he finally got there
7 wins in a row, Magnus is on fire!
Haha sure. He’ll be doused the next round. Duda is emerging victorious in this tourney. Thanks for coming out tho.
@@whizkid4386 duda is a bum
@@whizkid4386 you got crystal balls dude?
@@whizkid4386 As of now he only needs 3 points to win the finals after already winning the entire tournament
@@whizkid4386 Hancel troll, yawn. Played out already
"May be the engine has no idea what it's talking about."
-Agadmator, 11:52
in my experience playing the French, which I play all the time, one wrong movement and everything falls apart. But one wrong movement by my opponent and also everything falls for him.
Exactly what happens in my french as well.
@@gaopinghu7332 But do not send a Challenge to Agadmator he will never take it, he is afraid of the French, haha
@@alchaviano1150 well, he should. The guillotine is awaiting him anytime he wishes for a challenge.
At 8:50 : Anish could capture the pawn with his queen and sacrifice his knight. 🙂
I like that you mention when certain positions have been reached before and their continuations and when it's finally a new game. It's great! Also, when later a position has been reached before and its previous continuation too. You definitely put a lot of time into your videos 👍
Duda vs Magnus clash is going to be epic. Can't wait for the analysis.
Wow seems like Magnus took the Niemann french course
Magnus at 4:14 - either I'm going to lose from this position or I'm not. Truly a genius chess mind.
We love you Anish
Don't take the loss too hard. Sometimes people just have a weak week
What a game, amazing coverage as always.
Étant un français regardant la chaîne depuis de nombreuses années, le titre est d’autant plus drôle.
Thank God for Google translate😂
Mdrr la même
Même chose mais je suis Québécois
There should be a "french slap in the face" opening
came here for the caption, stayed for the best chess commentary on the youtube space rn
Anyone else still amazed when the phrase 'it is of move (whatever it is) we have a completely new game'.
Still love that after all these years & so many games we can still reach this position 😍
I usually just finish the video right there.
"maybe the engine has no idea, what it is talking about" 🤣
I thought MVL and Bacrot were fluent in French, and that Firouzja was improving his French rapidly.
Magnus coming in to show everyone he's still number one and nobody was ever even close
Too bad he's a lil crybaby, like Kasparov. "Hans beat me, he must have cheated! Waaaa!"
"There's that 1 move that always saves you whenever you have a bad position"
Me and the entire Agadmator fanbase: It's probably b4.
10:55 It's not that the white Queen is hanging (taking the Knight would un-hang the Queen!), it's that the white pawn is pinned by the black Queen and can't capture.
Great video, loved the line at the end

As someone fluent in French, I can confirm that my name is indeed “No One”

I thought everyone's favourite opening was the Evans gambit?
I thought so too… I think he was being sarcastic though, because so many people hate the French defense
Finally, someone who knows how to play the French Defense!
"Maybe the engine has no idea what it's talking about" ~ Antonio
Thank you for the video!
I was able to find the engine move. Not because I’m a great chess player but because if there is no clear continuation then you play a pawn move.
Just brilliant defense and brilliant post game reviews from Agamator
“As, there’s nothing more to be done here.” - It’s definitely a game that can be argued over at the Library or the Bar.
There's nothing more satisfying than when the World Champion starts picking up the French
“If you get in a position like this….” I’ll run to the guys at the library or the bar, come back to the board, and lose spectacularly! 🎉
"The engine doesn't know what it is talking" Lmao. I lost it here
That "dog walk" sure improved it's energy level.
This is how I learn to play chess by watching the masters play. It has been said that if one wants to get good play someone who is better than you, never play someone who you are better than.
But what about the people you're playing?
I thought our collective favourite opening was the Evan's gambit?! What is it agadmator? ;-)
Strongest Vs favourite
As a native French speaker, I find this title...strangely accurate
thankyou so much for making me laugh, I needed it today :)
Pawn structure somehow reminded me of game 9 of the 2013 Anand - Carlsen championship match, one of the games that could have been of the greatest of all time but ended too soon.
What a good analysis!

Love your videos! found be cool to see a tier list for semis/finals etc.
I love how Carlsen always play random opening against Giri. Free elo 🤣
This non- pause moment. Is when we let stockfish 15 play against Lc0 or dragon to debate this position.
Même pas un français ;-) I had similar problems as White last month in Chiang Mai (Bangkok Chess Club tournament) in the Advance French, where Black played the c4 variation closing queenside.

Not to be offensive but in the thumbnail Magnus looks like he's been on a McDonalds regime for the last couple of months.
Another interesting and instructional game
It is honestly so amazing how good Magnus is
Good enough to defend his world title?
Wow Magnus enjoyed his French fries
Very nice victory for World Champion "Magnus Carlsen".😃

oui
Well
I saw the title and said out loud "I have to watch this!" hahaha
"last years move" omg I'm crying :D
"Consider something like this. Might work out for you." I'll be sure to give it a go.. lol
Like everyone didn’t know how this would end 😂
Magnus, the only one to play French and have the other side resign
Antonio, you should have, in your merch a hoodie that just says "Hoodie Guy"
Correct, now the rest of my day will be excellent
Why do we resign when the pawn advances to F7 at 6:23? Knight takes, and then what?
Wondering the same...
Can someone please tell us what we're missing ?
I think after black knight captures pawn on f7, white queen captures the newly hanging knight on e6 with a check. This makes the material even with white in a strong attacking position and tempo. It appears after the queen checks the king, the only move is king to f8. If the black queen blocks the check, it leaves the black rook on c8 hanging which will be captured by the white queen.
6:20 is the time stamp I'm using for this question.
Always play the monte carlo variation against the french so you don't have to deal with these headaches
And it was in this position my French poodle jumped on the chess board scattering the pieces everywhere thereby saving me from a humiliating defeat.
Engine still has its weaknesses
I thought the French Defense was when you immediate resign and welcome your new Norwegian Overlords...
As someone fluent in French after almost 3 years of studying it, I feel deeply offended. XDDD; loool, great title yet again, keep it up!
The explanations were excellent as always - but I still have very little idea what went on in this game. Bewilderingly high level stuff.
Oｈ
No one is a super expert in every single langage ever created !!!!!!
No one is the one that knows what it is all about !!!!
Poor anish, has been a punching bag for content by duda and carlsen
Well done 👏..GG
6:13 agadmator: "and magnus has 2 options"
Again agadmator: *shows 3 options*
Typical agadmator moment
There should have been a rook sacrifice
This is one of my favorite titles ever!
Boy doing Magnus in the thumbanil dirty 💀💀
The title of the video 💯
After seeing so many French defenses destroyed on this channel, it's nice to finally see a victory for the French!
Very complicated game, im surprised they went for this.
Qg3, f5 and h4 were my candidates though. (Prefered in that order)
Reasons:
1. Tempo move
2. pawnbreak, bc centered king
3. pawnstorm, bc closed center
They did magnus dirty in that thumbnail picture
I play too much French defense if I can see f5 was premature more than giri
A very nice and thematic French. everything locks everything down and Black dares White to attack. While White can be and is better, it’s very hard, even on the highest levels, to push through and make use of that advantage- frequently , White will just overextend, oversacrifice, and end up worse after which Black just cleans up. My favorite opening as Black!
I thought the French Defense was sacrificing your queen on move 3?
Magnus exceptionalism must be stopped.
King of the draw got stomped 3 times.
Delicious.
Where did that go wrong for Giri? I thought he was winning!
This guy so good. He might just beat the world champion next year
Ikr maybe 1 day he will be the world champion xD
During the live commentary commentator David mentioned that before white pushes f5 that g4 could support, would this have benefited?
I'm so confused. After attacking the knight at 8:01 why didn't Anish just take the knight on the next move. I can only assume I am missing something obvious (which happens all the time)
Oh, I see. Q takes knight d7 and then everything gets trades off leaving Magnus still up a knight.
Great title!!
Magnus has a Hans Nieman hairstyle on video thumbnail
Enjoy the position...
I'm confused I thought the french defense was just surrendering

What about Rxe6 at the final position @8:00 instead of h4?? Isn't that a free knight?
After rxe6 rxd7 qxd7 qxd7 rxd7 and then rxe6 white is down a knight
@@meichen9731 Thanks meichen!
Dude, twice in a row for my moronic mind: "I'd go h4."
No idea what to do after that, but at least I got the first move. Boom!
