“When you play Anish Giri, you are quite invincible.”
- Najdorf
Maxime Vachier Lagrave doesn't approve
Last time I was this early MVL used to win in the najdorf sicillian...
During live game, peter leko mentioned that MVL always gets worse positions with najdorf, still he always gets away with that
th-cam.com/video/wKNLUt6YDxc/w-d-xo.html
@@abhishekgupta4412 He can or used to get away with knights on the edge of the board.
Uff
guys, MVL loses because he doesn't want to spoil his prep for the candidates. He just plays stuff everybody knows so he can at least deliver some chess without giving serious indications what he's studying
"The prophylactic King to B1" is probably the greatest chess phrase ever.
And i got to learn the spelling of ...profalactic.
I like "If you're not sacrificing the exchange, are you even playing the Najdorf?"
B1 is key to health
Hey, just wanted to tell you that just yesterday I graduated BSc. in computer science with a thesis about chess software, and I got the idea watching you. Thanks for the inspiration.
That's so impressive, congratulations man!!! 😍😍🙌
Congratulations man
Captured that degree
amazing!! congrats ;)
Congrats!
Congrats mate
"No one actually says that, but you know what I mean".... Had me in tears Antonio
Why he said that? Please explain.
th-cam.com/video/wKNLUt6YDxc/w-d-xo.html
@@fatimaabdeldaim4005 ??????‽??
Lmao. Yep that was hilarious 🤣
@@ukashk1071 He said it in a tone that you must fully commit to the particular variation and then he proceeded with saying that people say that to back his initial comment up,which he revealed is a lie,thus creating something unexpected so we laugh.
Clearly MVL did not look Anish's course on Chessable
Fun fact: giri actually suggested mvl to look for his course during airthings masters😂😂
@@tanujmehta2023 yeah that was what im refering to ... so ironic
"If you don't sacrifice the exchange on C3 in the Najdorf, are you even playing the Najdorf?!" Lol you're the best
How many times are you going to capture the poisoned pawn?
MVL: Yes
Once It Will Pay
@@slink66 He’s just exploring but his ELO points are not having fun
Lately I've played many surprising sacrifices in my games too! Most are unintentional though and I'm the one surprised :(
I do
😂😂😂😂🙌
😢 same
😂😂😂❤️👍
9:16
when someone says the Najdorf is overrated.
😂😂😂
This needs to be a meme #Suggestion
th-cam.com/video/wKNLUt6YDxc/w-d-xo.html
I think that was Najdorf's mailman..
It was the mailman
MVL on Anish's course: I won't understand your lines anyway.......too deep for me
Anish: Check it out so there's so many arrows
Airthings Master
Hehe he did say so in the live QnA. As a joke of course
@@haominlunlhouvum5174 yeah that joke hits differently now
9:18 Giri Cleverly employing the "Mailman" Defense, where you put both Rooks on the 3rd rank, ask questions of your opponent... Including, 'Is that the Mailman?'
I have never been a fan of MVL but now i really feel for him and wish him the best :(
Yeah to be honest it's a bit sad. His games have been super interesting, even in losses, I'd rather watch this than some dumb draws. Let's hope he can win a naijdorf in the tournament
I just discovered him (i don’t know a lot of tournament chess players) but i really hope he can win a match with the najdorf since i learned he’s a master in the sicilian.
Maybe he is hiding his prep
@@sumikorbekv6266 thats what im thinking.. he can easily draw vs anyone in the nadjorf if he uses drawish lines , i think hes gonna keep a surprise for the candidates as hikaru said but its just a theory
MVL is avoiding his preparation lines for the candidates . Just wait for the candidates
Hope you are right. Not sure about that, though
What are the candidates?
@@rekreator9481 Tournament to decide who will be the challenger to the world champion. Currently MVL is tied at first place and it's yet to continue this year.
@@rekreator9481 the FIDE Candidates is a tournament where the winner gets to challenge Magnus for the title of world champion. And there, MVL is actually heading the tournament
Aaah got it.. Well, It would make sense then if he didnt Want to reveal what he has up in his sleeves😁
0:00 Hello everyone
0:44 2:19 Let's see what happens here
0:57 Captures captures
2:15 Completely new game
4:12 Nice prophylactic move
4:24 The hardest move to find is with the knight back
4:49 Doubling up on the c file
5:01 Popular saying said by no one
8:56 agadmator rap
9:19 Not the Mailman
10:56 Give you a couple of seconds
11:06 Enjoy the show
14:57 It was in this position
16:11 Completely winning
16:20 Standings
17:21 So yeah
MVL: i am the master of Najdorf
Giri: hold my course
9:57 " you just pick up the queen and you are very happy " 😁💙
MVL the master of najdorf
Also MVL lost all his game with najdorf in this tournament
everyone watched anish's course
Thing is that If MVL had just one move ahead he would have won. I analyzed it
why would mvl reveal his prep for the candidates?
@@deepakagrawal1205 might be the situation. He was leading before the pause but this is still too much losing
@@jyotsnasrivastava6373 no need for any analysis, you can see it just from seeing last few moves in this vid.
First or not we all know this youtube channel is the first in our hearts.
Almost ☝️😎
Yeah 👍
"... unless You blunder mate..." - that hit far too close to home :-(
I just feel bad for MVL now, 7th highest rated man lost 3 times to the same defense.
I agree with your sentiment, except that MVL lost USING the same defense.
@@davidanderson_surrey_bc guys, MVL loses because he doesn't want to spoil his prep for the candidates. He just plays stuff everybody knows so he can at least deliver some chess without giving serious indications what he's studying
Giri: prepares a najdorf course
Also Giri: crushes the master of the najdorf course
How can he crush himself?
0:00 hello everyone
0:51 sicilian defence
0:56 najdorf Setup
3:20 white castles
10:55 while i give you a couple of seconds
11:00 Congratulations
11:06 just wanna enjoy the show
14:56 and it was in this position
16:19 standings after round 9
MVL is hiding his prep for the candidates!
I hope so
Yes!!!
I've been learning for some time now and have began the study of endgames. I enjoyed the bit at the end playing the rest of it out for beginners. More of that would be great your channel is awesome I've been a subscriber for some time
Me after finding the good move agadmator challenged me to find: Okay I have potential.
yeah I know right
I kinda wished you would address the possibility of regaining the exchange with Bf4 that was on the board for some ten moves... It would too lead to an losing endgame, but I think we all got the itch of knowing the engine opinion!
Great video as always! Been here since 60k subs
Omg, fucking finally some mentioned It!!! I dont understand how can be such move ignored during analysis.. Even if Its loosing It was the first move I thought about and couldnt believe Antonio didnt say anything about It!
Even if he regains the exchange, the point of the exchange sacrifice was for massive activity. Regaining the exchange would only remove black's very strong dark square bishop for a rook that is stuck defending a pawn.
i started looking at it too lmao
I remember when this great channel only had 30,000 subscribers! 1 million will be coming any day now. Well done Antonio
"If you don't sacrifice the rook on C3, are you even playing the Najdorf?"
Agadmator 2021
Thank you agadmator's Chess Channel. You are getting very close to 1 Million subscribers. Keep up the good work.
‘You are quote invincible’
Noticed that too.. A nice typo(?) in the quote above the board!
The tournament should be renamed to 'only najdorf sicilian opening allowed' 😂
one of the best games of the tournament. really unbelievable nerves from anish!
I usually watch these videos when I wake up in the morning, because nothing puts you in a better mood than a good game of chess.
Agadmator never makes any mistakes since he's like a supercomputer. How even grandmasters aren't able to decipher on their own why a certain move was played by a supercomputer, but it's the best move. In the same way us mere mortals won't be able to tell the reason behind why "quite" was written as "quote". But it's still correct. Feel free to pause the video and try to figure out why. You can take even days and come back later as it's such a deep move by agad it will be very hard to find the reason.
Maybe the mailman just wanted to enjoy the show...
No. He was delivering the winning move.
I think that position where the game ended in resignation actually makes a nice little endgame puzzle. Perhaps not a grandmaster level puzzle, but a nice puzzle anyway. Very easy for beginners to misplay it.
09:20 Impossible to be the mailman, as Medo kept the tension by using the sneaky sleeping move, a trade mark on Medo's repertoire.
"when you play the Najdorf, you are quoting famous chess players"
“You are very happy.” agadmator
we need a Najdorf match between these two
awesome calm defence from giri though!
Thx for showing the end👍🤣🇳🇴
I am new here.Binge watching these videos.
Always waiting for that "completely new game."
😁😁
This win is a thug life moment for Giri knowing about their trash talk and to top it MVL is a najdorf expert :)
Bog. You got me so interested in Chess thank you
What the hell happened to Ding Liren?
This match features very instructive end game.
this is a good variation on the quote
Антонио е най-големият! Браво!
A great game between two almost-equal Chess Masters. Thks.
"They say if you don't sacrifice the exchange on c3 in the najdorf, are you even playing the najdorf? No one actually says that." Never change, Antonio. Never change.
I have made all my family members to subscribe this channel.. I want him to reach a million subscribers soon and then he will reveal what agadmator is and y did he name his channel with that name.. quite excited to knw that 😄
I think I saw somewhere on the internet that AGAD is slang for “As Good As Dead”, so Agadmator was probably just his chess username online:
Agadmator = “When we play, you’re As Good As Dead cause I’m a checkMATing machine”.
He probably just used his internet chess username for his TH-cam channel and probs didn’t expect it to get this big is my guess
I missed those mailman’s cameos 9:12
we love you agadmator
There's been a lot of new moves in najdorf and QGD lately, maybe the old time is coming back where players play with their ability and not with some memorized engine line.
If only
Thanks for endgame, teach a lot!
I think people who disliked this video are THOSE who TOOK Anish's course BUT still DRAWING😁
So YOU'RE the guy WHO everyone HIRES to write their video TITLES.
The Game whose analysis I was waiting for🔥🔥!!
"analysis" 😑
He doesn't even mention the most basic tactics in the position. Eg after Nh5 what about Nxe5, why not Bxa4 immediately, why not Bf4 after Re3 winning an exchange (and I'm just halfway the video! 😄). He just cruises through the moves without even the barest understanding of what the players were arguing about.
@@DimitrisAndreou After Nxe5 just Bxg5 and its equal again
@@egor6946 that's not a chess question, I'm just pointing out the quality of the (non) "analysis" of this video, and creator in general
@@DimitrisAndreou What is your rating?
@@egor6946 ~2050
We need the legendary Andrey dadiani price of Mingrelia (Samegrelo) saga!!
Can you do an indepth video on engines? Which one are the TOP engies beeing used? Are they "private" engines for pro-level play? How is an engine working technically?
Mind blowing thanks 🙏
The next Najdorf win from top-tier chess should get posted!
Giri crushing his course 🤣🤣😂😂
Hi agadmator, can you change the color of the board when you’re going/explaining other lines so its easy to follow. thanks
9:42 we are blessed to hear the laugh of agad!
"If you don't give up the exchange on c3 in the Najdorf, are you even playing the Najdorf?" Agadmator.
Please put this as a quote above the board in one of your videos!!
agadmator: Always play the Najdorf -- it's a great opening.
MVL: Until it isn't.
suggestion - someone play another variation of the Sicilian! how about reviving the Dragon?
Try the Kan-variation.
Not the Rossolimo, that's all I ask. Especially today between the two main culprits.
First time in the capture rest live quite good actually
8:04 "unless you blunder mate or something like that"
You don't lose except if you lose. Pure Wisdom.
At move 9. g5 Nh5, the h5 knight is now hanging, can white play h4 (to secure the g5 pawn), then do a discovered Nxe5 to hopefully do Qxh5 if the knight is still hanging?
05:10 False, totally false, you just said it, now you are writing your name into the Chess Chronicles forever
What a beautiful game
The mistaken mailman is my opening of choice now
Third Eye of Giri has opened it seems
Both players shake their hands. AGAD: HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO A REALLY WILD GAME WHICH WAS PLAYED JUST A MINUTE AGO
This game was played hours ago tho
😄😄
i hope Rapport will get into the top 10 and invited to events more
and then you can cover him finally :D
The typo in the quote is amazing
"quote invincible" in the quote!
Welcome agadmator
Im Sopiko was commentating in this game 😁
Hey @agadmator i was wondering at 4:08 what would happen if white takes e6 bishop before, wouldn’t it be a more dirty attacking move?
In the table, can some explain what TPR and SB represent? I am supposing that TPR means something like "touranment provisional rating." But SB I am not sure. It definitely is something to do with the standings, but how it works... I don't know.
Very great game!
Giri reached #7 while Mvl drops to #13 after this game
Don't know what you're talking about, MVL is 5 and Anish 11. Did you make a pun or something?
@@mudza92 he is talking about live ratings as of today, FIDE will be updated later.
@@urshil96 oh okay, sorry about that
Najdorf really taking a beating in this tournament.
At the top of the screen, it is written "quote invincible".
at 10:39 does bishop to f4 not work to win back the exchange? is that end game bad for black?
Awesome game !
"No one actually says that, but you know what I mean." Classic!
In 2:18 after move 9 is it possible to play Ke5? Isn't it a free pawn since the knight on h5 will be attacked by white's queen and also has nowhere to escape?
can you please show some games between Leela and Stockfish? they are currently playing and their games are total madness
10:37 what's wrong with Bf4, pinning the rook and getting the exchange back, especially since the bishop on b3 is now hanging. Too much pressure on f7?
I am wondering the same thing
King is within the square of the pawns. Important concept to know.
"quote" in the quote is misspelled ;-)
That's quite true ! #QUØTECEPTION
nice
@@slink66 Arsenal fan ?
"quote" is spelled correctly, "quite" is misspelled
@@leadnitrate2194 no
The mailman variation is strong, but the "sorry about that" variation is pretty good too
after the rook e1 - rook e3 manouver from anish, why not bishop f4?
When Agad asked what to play, I thought Bishop f4 was the correct answer. Then the mailman came.
clearly, the king was faster than two pawns. It is something new we saw in this game!
"Quote invincible". I see what you did there :)
