I really suspect Yağız's team evaded from unnecessary attention by not making him the youngest GM in history. He could have had the norms much earlier. He was 2450+ by mid 2022 and he only got to 2500+ by January 2024. Thats 1.5 years, he stayed on nearly same ratings. And after he got first three GM norms, he had like 9 GM norms when his GM title was officially approved. He has beaten Polgar's "highest rated player before turning 13 record". Now he is the youngest ever to reach 2600 by far. What I mean by far is that he destroyed the previous record by nearly 1 year. Previous youngest player to reach 2600 was 14 years two months old. Yağız was 13 years 3 months old. For comparison, Carlsen reached 2600 when he was late 14 - early 15 years old.
Indeed, a nice comment on the progress of Yağız Kaan Erdogmuş. In fact, Yağız obtained his 3 GM norms shortly after receiving support from Turkish investor Evren Ucok, the co-founder of one of the world's leading e-commerce companies.
Wow! I've been watching chess online for a few years now and I gotta say, this is probably the clearest structure of a lesson I've seen. Not too mumble gm fast, and not so many arrows an intermediate player can't keep up with (stop lying, you 1400s who think you're learning from 18 arrows). It's perfect
Very nice and focused game commentary. Really really good. Here is a quibble: at one point a knight move is suggested, but the knight involved was *pinned*. LOL.
High win rates in blitz or bullet dont necessarily translate to high performance in classical... as seen with players like Andrew Tang and Daniel Naroditsky for example.
i can only imagine how long magnus' reign would last had he not defaulted the title. he had the potential to shatter lasker's record for longest world title reign. never keep your king in the center too long... or you could lose very quickly. fausto oro could possibly become GM before the age of 12, which is unheard of.
Had fabi played Nc4 instead of g3 (the game where he threw away the win, was winning at +3, but the blunder made the game +0.5, and ended in a draw), he would become the second American to become the world champ. Magnus quickly played Qe8. Fabi played Nc4 then, but it was a move too late, OUCH. Sergey also blew a win when he moved the wrong bishop to the sixth rank. Magnus would later force fixed pawns on the h file with h5, forcing gxh5 (or Magnus wins if the pawn is not taken as the white king is outside the square of the pawn), forcing the draw since both white pawns are in the h file and the black king will stop the pawns. I already chalked the upcoming WCC as a quick win for Gukesh, breaking barriers and doing something that not even Robert James Fischer has done, become world chess champ in his teens. Easy to forget Gukesh is just 18, not old enough to gamble yet.
Has anyone noticed that the quality of analysis has been so bad on GothamChess he keeps saying the engine suggests this, I don't know why It's no longer quality content, I appreciate content like this.
Speaking of top engine moves in a row, you should post the script the for this episode- I bet 4 of your top 10 greatest lines were in this video alone- a Fischer, a Polger, a Kasparov, a Spassky- truly an opus Magnus
Wow a 2600 level player missing a simple knight fork tactic when not even under time pressure! Chess can be such an unforgiving game, no matter how strong a player you are many times you are one bad move away from disaster.
that is the match i was waiting for :) Will have a question after watching it.. ty for uploading Edit after watching: as a turkish guy i support yagiz but my feeling says Faustino is stronger atm.. Hard to judge indeed. they will both become stronger or weaker.
Explain how faustino is better. Faustino is rated 2400 whereas YKE is 2600. Chess strength is not measured by feelings. There's an ELO system. "they will both become stronger or weaker." Duh!
@@denostar good point bud in case of ELO ,, but as i said its just a feeling.. Lets find out whats the score of those 2 is against the top 5 players...
Chess is dying a slow painful death. The same openings over and over and OVER again. The internet and speed chess gave it a few more years but eventually the boredom will become too great for anyone to handle.
the second video I have watched from you. you take too long talking about other games before you get to the one on the thumbnail. At least have your videos segmented for those that like your content nonethless.
Love how 13 and 14 year olds can get obsessed, plus have infinite energy to devote to a game ... With super good computer chess software accessible on just a plain home PC these days, it is little wonder that we are seeing 13 year olds that have rote learnt millions of combos and can win a blitz even against Magnus ... 50 years ago this grand master level was only achievable for geniuses like Bobby Fischer or Garry Kasparov ... Now the criteria is being a kid with an addiction to computer chess and the staying power to do 1000s or hours practice without getting eyestrain, ... weird, wonderful, scary ?? But definitely very interesting how the world of chess has changed.
As with anything else, the last 50 points are the hardest 50 points. I raced motorcycles and the last 5 seconds off my lap times were much harder than the first 5 seconds. Keep that in mind. Not all 50-point jumps are created equal.
Once Magnus told when his ratings was very close to Anand, he got a chance to discuss several positions on board with Anand, and he learnt a lot from Anand's view of the game and Magnus told closer to Anand's ratings doesn't mean much except Magnus too is a strong player, it is all how you feel or perceive the game... So please wait, all prodigies are strong players but to reach Magnus height requires lots of vision and passes through different layers of chess..,
And, looking into the internet, i found that there was another game between them, played in July, where he again defeated Magnus. Did he ever loose to Magnus?
In chess there should be a word that describes a position where your pieces trip over their own shoelaces, and become cluttered and disco-ordinated. Is there one I missed?
@@senolhakan9255 lol you guys are so clueless.... all it takes is 1 you tube search "how to cheat at bullet chess" ... have fun trying to enjoy online chess again after you watch it.
Thats how children with good memory win games: With opening traps. That's why inaccuracies creep into white's first game immediately after this trap has been sprung. But it's nice to see Magnus Carlsen getting a taste of his own medicine in the second game.
Gukesh is very likely to be the champ soon and you're not even mentioning his name? Interesting. You know a lot about chess.. And Parham?? Really, did you say Parham??
@@denostar seriously guys? Yagiz just passed 2600 when he was 13 years 2 months old. Gukesh passed 2600 when he was 15, Parham? He was 17 lol. Let's see where Yagiz will be when he is 17... four years later. For the record, let's count the others. Alireza - 15 years old, Arjun - 17 years old, Pragg mid-14 years old, Carlsen 15 years old.
@@denostar Compared to Alireza Gukesh has zero chance to become world champ. As Carlsen said only Alireza is a serious candidate for world champ. Parham is also capable as he is over 2700 elo beating one super GM after another.
@@jkofte it is not the age which might be the main factor but performance in over the board chess tournaments. Alireza won the Iranian championship at the age of 12 which is a herculean task. Parham won the world junior championship with an elo performance of 2832. Nihal Sarin came second in world champuon under 12. Both Sarin and Alireza were GMs at the age of 14. The point is these three stars have a record of winning international tournaments when the were under 14. How about your boy? Which international tournaments he has won so far?
every time I go on the Internet, I see Magnus Carlson getting beat to death by some young kids somewhere. But every time I look up, who is the world champion it’s Matt Carlson. How can I keep losing all these people and remain world champion where all these kids when it’s time for the trophies?
Dude relax, Magnus is a Super GM, which means most of the encounters he still wind against his younger prodigied fellows. Super GM‘s sometimes giveaway chances/wins (they‘re human too), but most often in consideration of his opponents hard work. So they try to encourage them by saying yes we can lose to you, cause you really earned it this game. But still if both play for the win and not for a draw 9 out of 10 games would still go to the Super GM‘s. They also try to motivate younger players, but this game to be honest it really lookes lika a flawless win for Erdoğmuş, though ultimately it‘s really difficult to try and find out what a Super GM is capable of. I just think, if they play every game on serious mode they either winnor draw the game, which would feel very depressing for the opponent, if they don‘t even give you one slice of the cake away. Nakamura and Magnus are Alienlevel players, they even learned moves from Alphazero and trust me if you win even one game against them it means that you are a prodigy in this game. Erdoğmuş here at a certain move felt like an immortal game, means he knows very well to exploit king weakness until the checkmate. This game very highly resembles the playstyle of Capablanca, it doesn‘t matter what your opponent does, frommthis one mistake on he was chasing you till the end. Triple forks on heavy pieces always are a brilliancy to watch. I‘m glad Magnus plays certain openings with seemingly big weaknesses, as we can see these beautiful games. It‘s not only about winning, it‘s about fun and being thankful for your opponents to having shaped you the man you have become.
Too many things can go wrong, predictions are impossible, really. Just wait and see, and hope, while these kids hopefully keep on developing in a prosperous way.
Destroy the GOAT in 14 moves! That's ridiculous if anybody put too much stuck on it, every super GM close to Magnus level knows all the opening up to first 20 moves, obviously Magnus made a stupid blunder in the opening, I would have taken serous look if the kid would have beaten Magnus in 40-60 moves instead.
Stop drinking 🎉Magnus and stop drinking your own companys MAGNUS BEER on your own supply , your the best player in the world ....when your sober , ... Play wih
You are a remarkably good analyst. If every chess channel was like yours, there'd be dozens more magnuses and pragnananhas in the world

I think the blitz games are to hard to judge it does lead to mistakes, it’s like leveling the playing field ???
Yeah you’re right. But that’s why they usually play many blitz games, it’s about consistency, not winning every single game
I agree

Very lucid and well paced commentary. Thanks for this.
Wow, this game is really cool. GG for casting it.
Yag is the man. Only 13. I was London champion under the age of 16, trophy handed by the late duke of Westminster. So I appreciate how Yag plays.

I don’t think you have been London champion
@akio2730 what makes you say that? I still have the trophy. Would you like to see it? Why would I make it up? You're being silly.

@11:25 instead of black pushing the pawn, it’s worth looking at a queen check, then xpawn. If white blocks with knight, pawn x knight.

The next world champion could be just about anyone but me.
Excellent chess analysis 👍
I think the kids when they are older will discover girls or boys, you never know, and forget about chess.😂
u seen that kid's triple chin? he aint discovering anything but cookie crumbs under the couch
Nope, that's a problem you had, that's why you never achieved anything in life. 😛

Thanks for the presentation boss
First game: it's easy enough to find over the board but he has probably seen it before.
