Agreed, there's so many Tal positions engines evaluate as worse that he won due to complexity. There should be a separate evaluation if most of the normal responses are losing and the opponent has to find an obscure "only move". Like that famous olympiad "Misha impossible" game vs Hans.
@@88mphDrBrowntbf thats what the human commentators are for. Chess engines can evaluate chess, not human psychology, so its impossible for an engine to tell how "obvious" a move is. But there can be a letter next to the number that represents how wide or narrow the path to victory is. For ex: "A" means almost any move maintains advantage, "B" means 3 or less, "C" means only 1 move. Whether that 1 move is taking the free queen that a 100 rated player is "attacking" your bishop with or a brilliant defensive combination, its all equally "easy" to the engine, but that letter system can give human a hint at least. It would remove the impression that every game where there are massive swings in the eval bar are played by patzers
@wallysullivan9315 I strongly suspect they have some sort of "normal/human" move analysis algorithm in their anti cheating software. I like that letter grade idea, did you just come up with that or does it already exist?
Actually it’s gonna be underestimation then, everyone should play considering position, otherwise always taking the risk and “playing the player” instead, they may run into some painful surprises like Aronian did or Yakuboev, in both cases clearly underestimating their much weaker opponents and getting a clearly lost positions. Especially now, when there is much knowledge and engine preparation, some 2100 or even 1800s can be a very tough opponents
#Suggestion I have a golden recommendation for you. IM Alice Lee vs WIM Jan Jodilyn Fronda on round 2 of the Olympiad. Truly a beautiful attacking game with a really nice knight sacrifice to finish it off I don't know if you've covered her before, but Alice Lee is a very bright talent at the forefront of the next generation of strong female GMs
Agads observation about weaker players was made by Petrosian years ago. He might not even have been the first to make it. Top players simply play at top level all the time. Thats why they are the best. The rest of us can play a few moves brilliantly and then we lose the thread of the position.
A good reason for such a sacrifice is perhaps arjun thought the game was headed for a potential draw he thought his opponent might go for. That bishop captures pawn pretty much eliminates the possibility of a draw and will give him a chance to prove that being higher rated means he will prevail over the course of the next 40 moves.
There are many kinds of sacrifices. Some bring clear compensation right away. Others bring compensation in theory such as weak color complex, bad structure. A real sacrifice means compensation is unclear. The Master just " feels " it was right....often the compensation appears in the endgame.
@dannymeslier6658 Yes, but Arjun has said again and again in his interviews that against lower rated opponents, he tries to imbalance the position as quickly as possible to take his opponent out of prep. He is confident that he can win an unbalanced position against sub 2500 opponents. He wouldn't try this with 2600 and above rated opponents.
@@blipblop5757 I see, right. In this particular case, though, I think he could have lost, though...There really was very little compensation for the bishop.
#suggestion Olypiad Round 2, Ivanchuk played a really interesting game against Andres Vila from Uraguay. Sacrifices, and not perfect engine play, but a great game!
Right it does seem white missed an opportunity by not playing Nf4 so Bf1 could defend pawn c4 but ok have to finish watching yes it does seem the inactivity from Jacques Elbilia might’ve left him in a bit of Rusty state I mean that’s many years of not having played classical Chess Arjun is definitely that confident player Bishop sack no problem but I think he caught a break his opponent did not respond correctly Great Game tho Thanks a lot Agadmator
Yeah but when the Whole team will think like that about each other sometimes the risks can go all wrong at the same time So they also play mindful chess
Yes, pretty much every major country is participating. You can check the games at FIDE official website for the olympiad. Ghana is currently 137th in the standings.
Jacques ssemed to see ghosts after the 'speculative' (to be kind) sacrifice. I wonder how many players, regardless of strength, would have played Rxa6?
White just played worse than black(versus a blunder).Arjun is strong but he played abnormally weak,bljndered and was lucky ooponent was so much weaker.
@@shrinivas105 You dumb? He plays like this against GMs as well. Even Magnus commented on his style of play and said it was like every game Arjun plays it's like he's trying to absolutely bulldoze.
He has been playing a lot of open tournaments in the last 2 years. He is used to playing dubious moves to pressure and win against lower rated opponents. During the SCC, even Magnus called him a madman who plays risky moves in equal positions to force a win.
Kasparov's quote still applies as much as ever. It is irrelevant what the "engine says" The better player is better.

45 moves later….”soo that’s what Arjun had in mind” 😳🤨
"Sort of".
"Something, something..."
Thanks!
