It really motivates me to see strong gm like vidit to loss 3 games in row it must be painful experience but only this will make him stronger and. There is lesson here to not give up ups and down are part journey. Love u vidit
@@NirlajSadaSukhi It was really sad when he got absolutely trashed by Wang Hou. The China match was the only one in which India was losing right from the start. India was leading against Rest of the World and Europe but mistakes at the end cost us the result, but that's what defines the game. Hoping for a better result in the 2nd round
After game ended I knew agad would cover this because of the pawn sacrifice trapping the bishop. Black´s queen had to keep an eye on that g7 square and it was one of the most interesting ones of the day. Not even engines saw it. Levon has been on a hot streak and doesnt let his mourning get to his head´s concentration. Magnus on chess24 commentary was impressed lol
@daniel mayer It was a stunning move, all the more beautiful because Aronian coyly set it up with Qe7. I’d never have expected it if I were in Vidit’s position. But I disagree engines don’t see it. Even the weak engine on my iphone sees it instantly.
I was referring to their own engine they were using. Of course any AI would catch it or stockfish 10. Theirs is not as accurate and probably were trying to make a point that humans can see moves that engines cannot calculate. But yes some actually can.
Chess has been traced back to India, ca. 500-600 CE. Obviously predecessor games likely existed, but I don't think Aristotle would have been aware of them ca. 350 BCE.
In the Hellenistic version of the game, the board narrowed in the middle, with the white pieces (the Greek side) being outnumbered by the black pieces (the Persian side) by a 300:1 ratio. In most contests, the player with the black pieces would sacrifice enormous numbers of pawns in an effort to break through the centre which was so capably defended by a cohort of bishops. The outcome was often decided by whether the black player could convince a white pawn to show the black army a way around the outside of the board.
I started again to play chess a month ago. I used to play with my grandfather when i was a kid but i couldn't since i moved from my country to italy. This is the first and only youtube channel that made me love this game due to the passion you put in your videos, which made me elaborate on the main strategies and openings. The aristotle's quote in this video impressed me because i feel like everything in this world is a chess match. Every move can put you down or improve your position, even the most "useless", you have to have patience, defend yourself but also take risk by decisions. I just thank youtube, which recommended on of your videos randomly, which made me play chess again, which made a lot of things way more clear in my life. Love agadmator ❤️

When a translator finds a game mentioned in the text he is translating, he naturally replaces its name by the name of a game which is familiar to his readers and which enjoys a like reputation. The serious historian has to go behind the translation to the original texts.’
@@tonyjonesbassoonwhippet2271 Very cool, thank you for posting. This adds a great deal of context to these quotes, which I always assumed were misattributions, but I guess they're just approximations in translation.
Glad to see Levon coming back with such punch, we were all cheering for him on the french chesscom live! Who knows, maybe he had Kasparov shadow behind him helping. Still im glad he was allowed such a great come back!
Very interesting position, thank you! I'd like to encourage you to tell us more details about such positions in the future: * Why Qe7 is important? Is Qc7 also feasible? * Why Qxg7 before b4 doesn't work? * Why Bd1 immediately after Bb2 doesn't work? * Why opening the "G" file is dangerous? * What if black doesn't capture "En passant"? * How should black play instead? * At what moments black could force a draw? Of course, many viewers may find the questions obvious or find the answers on their own. But for the rest of the viewers, it may increase the value of the sequence of moves played. It may also increase their level of understanding of chess.
Yeah. The obvious response is for white to just move the rook to c3. But even that doesn't fully save white, though it's a line I was only able to find with an engine. After black pushes d3, white also has an interesting idea by playing Bc7 - but this line also doesn't work for white. Both lines end up working out in black's favor for the same reason actually - pressure builds up on the c5 square, but black is eventually able to play d2 and distract white's queen and capture whatever piece is on c5 to go up a piece. Here's the FEN if anyone wants to play around with this in an engine: 4r1k1/6pp/1q4b1/r1R2p2/p2pPB2/P4P1P/1PR3P1/2Q3K1 b - - 0 1
At 4:22 white plays Bf4. Then Agad launches into this line: ... d3, Re3 Bxe4, fxe4 Rxe4 and Agad says that next move white is going to lose the bishop on f4. And I was wondering why can't black defend it with something like Qf1 or Qf3. Well Qf1 loses because you're not defending the e3 square enough - so you get Qf1 Rxe3, Bxe3 Qxe3+, and black's won the bishop. Qf3 is a longer line but still ultimately loses the bishop - after Qf3, black plays Rae8 to pile up on the e3 square. If white ignores this, black has too many attackers on the e3 square and after a bunch of trades black's won the bishop and gotten their piece back. To not ignore this, white has to play Rae1 to defend the e3 square. But then black can play d2, and the only way white can stop promotion is by playing Rd1, which abandons the e3 square and again, after a bunch of captures, black's won the bishop and gotten their piece back.
@@hamdamjonganijonov8825 that is not true, there were other board games during Aristotle's time, like backgammon, but I am absolutely sure that Aristotle didn't reference an Indian game invented at least 500 years after his death

4:45 possibly dumb question: Why not Qf3? If 1. ... RxB 2. QxB Re8 white can't play 3. Rae1 due to d2, but Kf2 appears to hold and Ra1 guards against the passed pawn. Edi: My analysis of 1... RxB was correct but if 1... Rae8, white has no defense after 2. Kf2 Qd4 - the passed pawn is just too strong.

Has a history major I completely agree with the statements in the article you posted. It is unfortunate the journalists, and like-minded souls, are too unscientific and or lazy, or perhaps just think too little of their readers, to be accurate.
hmm...was it necessary to set up a trap or could Levon have pushed b4 in this position? 8:55.. (in which case setting up a trap was more like a mistake I guess)
11:27 why didn't vidit gave check by playing queen to c2?, then king had to move to e2, vidit could have gain an extra queen by playing pawn to d1 giving check simultaneously and could easily win the game....correct me if i am wrong.
Watch it again, that’s 2 moves. The Queen can’t move to C2 because there was a pawn on D3. The pawn move opened up the Queen move, but you can’t move twice. EDIT: In even simpler words, it wasn’t Vidit’s turn
After all the years of watching these videos it always surprises me when the words '& from this point, we have a completely new game' are spoken. After hundreds of years the game is still producing many unknowns & totally unique games !
It means the position haven't been reached in the database of top tier chess games that agad is using. Though some of it may have been already reached by lower rated players whose games weren't recorded in the database
Because if Vidit decided to trade his light square bishop for the Knight, Levon could recapture with the queen with the help of which he could trade his own light square bishop with the Knight and win a pawn. At least that's my guess (Also beginner chess player here)

#suggestion Fischer vs spassky (1992) please I’m not sure if you’ve done an upload on this yet but I can’t find it and I don’t want to watch the other channels who have unless it’s from you
From Wikipedia: Another unusual rule is the en passant capture. It can occur after a pawn advances two squares using its initial two-step move option, and the square passed over is attacked by an enemy pawn. The enemy pawn is entitled to capture the moved pawn "in passing" - as if it had advanced only one square. The capturing pawn moves to the square over which the moved pawn passed (see diagram), and the moved pawn is removed from the board. The option to capture the moved pawn en passant must be exercised on the move immediately following the double-step pawn advance, or it is lost for the remainder of the game.

Awesome Thinking
What about queen b1 check after bishop sacrifice ...i think that was an exchange and game up
After b4!, why not just Bb3 instead of axb3? The black bishop can then look to the d5-a8 diagonal to stop the pawn
He would eventually have to give up the bishop for the pawn as soon as it enters b7 and white would be up a piece
5:29 Why didn't Levon take the pawn at a4?
10:38 there’s a crazy line that takes away whites advantage by 7pts, kg8 is the move, after a4, bd1 is less winning for white by 7pts
Kxb on d1 then what?
@UCkFzZ9HMYsfgnrCIRDwdp9g What is black's move after Kxd1? b3 is blocked by white bishop. d2 is suicidal.

@@dr.bluesfield3629 I'm new to chess. Still learning. We've all go to start somewhere.
12:34 how that possible a pawn capture that wasn't diagonally?
*Black a4 pawn
I'm confused
From Wikipedia:
Another unusual rule is the en passant capture. It can occur after a pawn advances two squares using its initial two-step move option, and the square passed over is attacked by an enemy pawn. The enemy pawn is entitled to capture the moved pawn "in passing" - as if it had advanced only one square. The capturing pawn moves to the square over which the moved pawn passed (see diagram), and the moved pawn is removed from the board. The option to capture the moved pawn en passant must be exercised on the move immediately following the double-step pawn advance, or it is lost for the remainder of the game.
