I played D&D from 1st to 20th level (plus epic booms) with a char named Nils Grandelius. I found it awesome that he is playing so well.
Grandelius does sound like some kind of RPG villain
Does modern D&D play faster? Getting to 20th level would take years in AD&D.
@@darthkek1953 I've been running a 1-20 campaign for 3 years and the PCs are level 13. So yeah, it still takes awhile. But then again it also depends on the pacing and how fast the DM lets the players level.
@@cokemaniac1 true. I ran the Ravenloft module, the Strahd one, I beefed it up a bit but still, it took the players 14 months from start to finish. No quick travel. They had to fight for every step, every breath. (That was due to the horror setting, nothing was to be easy). They didn't level fast but it was the most memorable module of our lives.
I'm in the middle of my first campaign. My character's name is Morphy!
*Maxime Vachier Lagrave vs Nils Axel Grandelius*
That just sounds like medieval knights about to fight.
Yeah m8 well they obviously not third world villagwrs.
Nils Axel Grandelius.. make it more exotic
Teutons vs. Franks

Thank you Agadmatorino, always helpful
About three years ago in an interview, Grandelius stated his ultimate goal was to stabilize in the top 30. Seems he'll have to settle for a smaller number.
Better title idea: It's the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century and This Pawn is Still Poisoned || Grandelius vs MVL || Tata Steel (2021)
Here before this comment gets popular ( cuz its lit :D )
That's a lot of 21's
*22nd year of 21st century , my fri.
@@linnhtet2492 it's the 21st year not 22nd.
@@linnhtet2492 Centuries start at year 1, since there's no year 0. So it is in fact the 21st year of the 21st century. :S
The Schrodinger's pawn:
It's okay to both capture and not capture the pawn.
Both win and draw - Anish
Ah yes, capturing the pawn means accepting the Schrodinger's Gambit
Girl: Lets leave this bar and go back to my place.
Agad: 9:31 “not much to do here, the (k)night is being threatened”
What's the idea here?
Hello everyone... ., Well sorry about that
@@Subject18 obviously a check to mate
@@vasileandreica7272 Brilliant!
@@vasileandreica7272 Threating also some nasty discoveries.
Nils is kinda bat outta hell. Have never seen him before but the way he plays on this tournament is entertaining
GM Leko is a monster. He finds moves in a split second .
He played Kraminik for the world championship, he is no joke! Also excellent comentator.
He was top 5 at some point, he's just a bit too old now to compete with magnus and mvl consistantly. But I believe he is still rated around 2650 just like grandelius and with all the experience he has, he shines on instinct an in positional chess which is the skill that most shows from his commentary.
Leko has actually won this tournament himself once
Anish Giri: Nh5 best move.
Funnily enough, after Anish's game with Harikrishna ended (with Anish offering a draw, no less), Daniel Naroditsky mentioned this meme: i.redd.it/1qmc6uqyr1c21.jpg
Cue Danya and Fiona wondering where did they find this photo of Caruana xD
@@SamiChess90 I would play Qg1 and then Qg7 for some torture
@@leadnitrate2194 I guess in the age of social distancing the safest checkmate is Qh1...
@@SamiChess90 Lol Hikaru looks killer cute in that pic.
As the economy is going into recession because of COVID-19 outbreak, Instead of waiting for the STIMULUS AND GOVERNMENT I just started my investment with the little I have and I've been earning much from it,
4:38 Well, Grandelius said in his post-match interview that MVL considered playing Nh5 in that position (they spoke briefly after the game) - but that MVL felt it looked too dangerous with his king still stuck in the centre. Grandelius also said that IF MVL had played Nh5, Nils would not have gone for a draw by repetition. He would have instead continued attacking and asking questions of MVL, though if MVL defended correctly it would have eventually become a draw.
thanks for this, good to know both players played for the win !
Grandelius typically don’t go for a draw. His playing style is aggressive and he almost always try to win.
MVL: That was a tough ga-
Agad: Hello everyone
That man came outta no where, and took down Maxime. Thats really impressive.
shocking It was
Looking at his title and rating Grandelius might have seen one game or two.
@@lovaszbence he certainly has. But he is not regular player at high level tournaments and beating player like MVL is really an achievement.
Mmm, not really... Grandelius it's an older guy in this things.
@@pumamaqui8571 Haven't heard about him. Even if he is, Maxime is candidates tournament leader, winning against him is indeed wild.
In swedish, the name "Nils" is pronounced like "mills" with an "N" and not "meals with an N" or "Niels". I know that Agadmator is a fan of correct pronounciation so I thought I might put it out there for anyone who is interested.
Eller nisse
After 5 rounds, Nils has sole possession of first place.
Not only that, he has THREE wins, which is TWO MORE than anyone else. How impressive is this accomplishment? Well, most of the field (8 out of 14) still haven't got their FIRST win.
He stands a very good chance of ending this tournament at 2700+.
Agadmator:- this move makes sense coz u dont want the opponents queen on g7
Me:- Ya..i would play that move too
also Agadmator:-but now the game is completely lost for black
Me:- Hmmm..
100% same
Here are some reasons why agadmator is the best chess TH-camr:
1. He never asks to subscribe, or pleading for likes or donations.
2. He is family-friendly
3. He is very helpful and he explains VERY well in the videos
ChessNetwork has those points as well, and is also a beast of a player and hilarious to boot.
Amen
Yes he has found the perfect formula for entertaining and educational chess videos. Not too long, not too short and the sense of community he is building by letting us see some tidbits from his personal life is astonishing.
It seems so effortless but I'm sure it takes a lot of hard work getting to this point.
Maxime: Damn.. it was really a poisoned Pawn😭
Not rly he just missed knight to h5 attacking the rook .
I know, from experience. I had to go to the hospital and throw away the cutlery. Apparently the poison was a high dose of cyanide. I'm ok now tho
Defeating Maxim in Najdorf, Well it required really firm balls to even open with 1.e4 against MVL.
Mvl always plays najdorf and everyone knows it they don't need firm balls to defeat him lol
Should he go 1d4, and play MVL's Grunfeld?
@@chiragm7240 he is the top authority on Najdorf not just playing it everytime!
According to this game, Grandelius has exceedingly firm balls. I believe his wife has made a similar statement.
Now don't say Anish have balls lol I said mvl should stop playing najdorf
"You can see it's quite a difficult position to play, especially if you don't know what you are doing..." :D
I just love Agadmator's humor!
Agad is clearly misleads me whenever he says the game is completely lost and asks us to find the move. I look for checkmate or piece win then he says this position is completely winning with extra pawn. I'm like, two extra pawns for me, still could be anyones game 😂.
Thats it. In my nooby 1500 games to be up a rook doesnt mean anything 🤣
In a master game 2 pawns is enough for a complete win.
Yes, the point is AK is not a master
Hello Antonio, I am everyone.
We have reached a new position where agad debuts the “premier now” gambit. The lines have not been thoroughly analyzed as of now we are completely new territory
Wow, Grandelius is on an absolute tear this tournament. Cool to witness. /impressed Swede
For a grandmaster who's considered the master of the najdorf, he sure gets beaten a lot
Seriously. Feel like I’ve seen several of these games past two years where there is a straightforward drawing line but he declines, gives up material, never gets an attack going and loses.
Been watching these videos since watching The Queens Gambit. Your knowledge of chess history is amazing, how you remember everything I'll never know
chess in 2051 will be like " and as of move 55 we have a completely new game
If I remember correctly, there were games in Karpov-Kasparov where the players varied on moves in the 30s - from the previous game in the same match, not just from all previous games ever played.
@@psychohist yes that's true. The book by Speelman on their first world championship (Kasparov & Karpov), shows them repeating alot of the openings with improvements. After going through a book like that, it really gives you a grasp of some of the dynamics of the most repeated openings.
That's why he's so fast because they didn't even finished signing the scoresheets🙄
finding queen h4 was the proudest moment of my life for the last 2 years. love the videos man. 😉
4:03 “Pushing back the queen”
**Queen moves forward**
Maxime didn't know it....
Wow!!
Marvellous
Last time I was this early, agadmator had less than a millions subs
يزلمة والله انصدمت و رحت شيكت فكرت وصلها😁😆
Always a pleasure to see another brave rook.
After game , MVL and Nils had some discussion in which Maxime said he saw Nh5( During post-match interview , Nils said it ) , But he decided to go Qe6 anyways . Incredible game by Nils . i guess MVL needs to be a bit more serious , he is avoiding main lines to avoid to get into his preparation for the candidates ( which makes sense ) and getting into sharp lines which are concrete .
MVL prefers to play interesting games rather than boring known draw lines. However he may have underestimated Grandelius and made mistakes of his own
Lesson learned: Not all move that makes sense should be played. 💯
I don't understand why everyone's saying Grandelius came out of nowhere - the guy has been a secondary in Magnus Carlsen's preperation team for several World Championships!
No one recognizes him with the normal haircut.
@Ze TheGame Kh2 is a totally natural albeit sophisticated move if you don't suck
@Ze TheGame its an OTB tournament so no chance of cheating
Grattis Nils
Awesome commentary as always !!
6:19 the wooden shield in all its glory
Leko is really amazing comentator, he often predicts the exact lines that they play without the engine
Many people don't remember but he was the challenger to Kramnik I think in 2008 for the World Champion title. Was a top10 player for about a decade.
@@jimfuelig3561 2004*
Was the best in the world at one point
Pozz iz Münchena care!
it was the battle of "2 classy men"...
Loving the Grandelius Saga.
The video title should have been like
" I'm a joke to you ?" Or
" who Do You Think You Are?" .
Fascinating game, thkz. Slightly surprised a5 the result, perhaps MVL was as well..
Thank you Sir antonio for always making beautiful chess content....you helped me improve a lot as a chess player.....I am leaving this comment here to inform you that I will meet you and have a nice talk with you after I become a GM!
Captures captures. But time about we brought this channel to 1M.
Road to a million🔥🔥
"hello everyone!"
Proud Swede, well done Nils
Tata steel hasn't even ended lmao
#congratulations on 1 million subs.
#Suggestion
Game 22/33 of TCEC Stockfish vs LCZero
Both games were exciting to watch
🔥🔥🔥
and as of now Grandelius is the leader of the tournament, which is really impressive, given that he won against much higher rated players. He is #78 in the ranking and he defeated #19 (Duda) and now #5 !(MVL). I am really looking forward to his games against Carlsen, Caruana, Firouzja and Giri.
5:45 it took Nils a very long time to make the move h3, which is in fact the top engine move and is a very deep attacking and defensive move even tho it looks tame
You pronounced Harikrishna exactly what we Indians do, Kudos!!
Lagrave: Nobody beats my Najdorf Defense.
Grandelius: Allow me to introduce the Nilsdorf Refutation.
Any chance of seeing some of Grandelius' earlier games? Seems like he's improved a lot for this competition?
Brilliancy prize!
I was half asleep, and then I heard the 'Hello Everyone', and now I am wide awake :D
what a beautifull game!!
Ajmo naši
gr8 recap
I have feeling he is gonna a video on Aryan vs Anton blunderfest lol
"The pupil of your eye can expand as much as 55% while looking at something you love." 👁👁
"Hello everyone!" ⚫⚫
Hearing Anthony say Hello Everyone makes me genuinely joyful. I don't know this man, but I wish him eternal happiness.
Watching this 30 minutes before an exam to calm my nerves
Nils much like mvl has been playing the najdorf since the junior days. In the post interview he says that he was not intending to draw the game after nh5.
This MVL guy is quite a streaky shooter.
Nils said in his post-game interview that he wouldn't have repeated after Nh5
What a brutal attack against sicilian.
100% certain this exact game has been played previously, but never has been put in a tablebase. Nh5 has to have been found somehow.
I stopped any chess related stuff for more than 10 years, until i came across your channel. And now, i involuntarily will speak out loud " hello everyone" everytime i click on your video😂😂😂😂
Nevertheless, thanks for the awesome content, and thanks for reigniting the passion i lost once. People like you deserve special place in heaven, and god bless 😊
Big fan 🙂
8:44 would you be able to do knight F6 as well? I’m trying to learn this game
I'm not sure, but he might be able to trade knights there, and white's knight is amazing so seems like a waste
I'm on phone so can't check on engine but wil tomorrow
I checked, and agadmator has a vid on it. Basically puts black in a tricky position, where there are ways to trap queen if played incorrectly, and also gain other advantages.
There were always a few players ready to play "museum" openings. Just in case anybody was wondering why a Sicilian got played in a serious tournament.
People shouldn’t be afraid to play Najdorf and Grunfeld vs MVL can kno each line to 20 moves but if you know one specific line to move 35 he is at disadvantage. If he wins candidates, it will be interesting how he is gonna try to defeat Carlsen.
'And it was IN this position ON move XX, XYZ resigned the game as there is nothing more to be done here' . What a template to teach kids English Prepositions! :)
The Epic of Gilgamesh becomes The Epic of Grandelius!
Wow.
My eardrums hurt every time you do an intro
Beating MVL and drawing Caruana. I do not think he will hold the lead after 13 rounds but considering his rating and the strength of this field scoring above a draw average is fantastic for him.
A game of maxime finally
Agad I would like to say that the decisive position is reached in correspondence chess and every body played Nh5 and all 5 matches were draw
correspondent chess nowadays is pretty much engine chess .
@@stagna1959 yeah but Anish once said those are very helpful for preparing big tournaments.
Legends says MLV will never capture B2 pawn
Result of a completely winning game in top tier chess is being up 1 pawn... wow
The world is a big place... and two of the greatest chess players in the world is to be found in Norway and Sweden.
Nice game!

Why is it live?

Waiting for more Dubov saga
What shirt is Antonio wearing? I recognize it from something, but I don't know what
#suggestions can you make a video on how to the the Sicilian alike to the one you made on the Evans Gambit
thats the 3rd bravest rook in chess history
niles on the prowl
Wait if it's ok to capture why the title?
1 million near
8:50 just want to know, is rook h5 possible?. im sure there is some trick to it otherwise mvl would not have pushed his pawn. Can anyone explain?
i guess he can push his pawn to protect with queen but after takes u can fork the rook?
You mean Rook H5 for White? Just Rook takes on C4 and the game continues. The engine says, that White and Black are equal after this, but Queen H4 is just winning
After Rook H4, black takes on C4, threatening the bishop. If you retreat with the bishop, then QxE4. Rook takes H6 and Queen takes D5. It becomes very drawish.
Rh5, Rxc4, Ba1, Qxe4, Rxh6, Qxd5
