Agad you always have the most delightful commentary. It's not over-hyped, you just let the beauty of chess speak for itself. Been subscribed for many years now and it's been wonderful to see your channel grow!
Yeah he really should be much larger. Levy is obnoxious and Hikaru can be really proud at times. I know they are way stronger than Antonio but I love his humility and better didactic instruction on chess.
@@Senshidayo Agad was the largest for quite some time. But Levy is an entertainer and he knows it and keeps doing what he does best. Agad is still the og for me.
He had an opportunity today to create winning chances with the black pieces, he won't get that too many times. That isn't champion mentality. Magnus would never have repeated
Im a real noob so its been hard to get a lot of the stuff. I actually got to understand eazly with gotham chess but know i can enjoy way more this one😂😊
I subscribed the channel during the pandemic lockdowns and I was beginner in chess. Last weekend I reached the rating of 1550 with help of Agadmator. Thank you.
The way you present chess games is the best on TH-cam, calm, with lots of details and side lines, explaining every move. I watch you videos everyday, you became part of my daily routine. Keep it up agadmator, you may not the biggest chess channel, but your the best chess channel.
This game is sick, both players memorizing any lines that they didn’t prep and making top engine moves as is mere mortals gaze onward in blissful wonder.
Enjoy your Channel instead of playing online and stressing out to try to win I can watch these Great Games you present I don’t have to feel pressure just relax enjoy the show and maybe pick up on something
Best Chess Channel you’d get my vote if it came down to it I do enjoy a couple other channels they do a very good job as well your games are well analyzed and explained Thanks Again
Ding gave a lot of pressure but I think failed to capitalize using a risky play. Probably the smart thing to do. He seemed to be in control with the black pieces the entire game.
Russian vs Chinese. Not sure who I'd want yo win, but I think I like Ding's attitude a bit more. Nepo appears to be a stronger player, but Ding has lead an incredible winning streak before. Maybe we see Carlson behind the hidden door like the elite 4 in Pokémon haha!
The Nepodile just waiting to feast on his next victim. Looking calm and relaxed, but still endearingly capable of blundering a winning position at any moment. That’s what makes him so exciting to watch.
I wish there was a way to sometimes skip the "you might consider..." sections and just see the game as played. "You might consider" "Skip" "You might consider" "Skip" "You might consider" "Skip"
Not a game that could qualify as a WCC match . I don't know much about the GMs game but when I saw queens gambit declined I felt I ll have to see crazy lines but the irony is they stopped playing it when the game was actually getting spicy . Wish ding played that b5 move n made the game exciting . Nevertheless not a boring game by any means . Expecting blockbusters as we go forward .Comeon Ding . Rooting for u
Can you add the score/results from the previous games in the description box ? (Maybe it's not beneficial for you in terms of views for the previous videos) thanks either way
You must be new, everyone here is a time traveller. Agad watched the game and then went back in time to make a video about it so that it would be ready for us to watch at this time.
It's such an indictment of chess to say that a position in a world match had already been reached. Just think about that. These are the best players in the world and they're repeating moves from years ago. It's exactly why Fischer ended up hating chess in his later years. The entire game has become mostly an exercise in brute memorization. So what. As Agad often says, "Nothing new here, this has all been played before."
True. This is why i believe that chess is simply much more exciting at an amateur level. Memorizing dozens of computer lines up to move 30 simply takes the soul out of it, but that's professional chess in 2023 for you... sad. I really hope not too far into the future we start seeing Chess960 in classical format gaining traction as Carlsen said.
@@rohangeorge712 Well it might not literally be move 30, but it's still pretty damn far into the game. When the guys reach what is obviously a middlegame stage and someone can say "oh yeah all of this has been played before", it just feels wrong in a way.
Between Nepo missing a possible win in game 1 and this game where Nepo mixed up the prep and Ding got a slight pull, Ding must be kicking himself for spending so long on Nxf6 instead of Nxc5 in game 2
I see moves in your hypotheticals that I think wont work,,lol. Then on replay I find I am wrong. I have done this before in games that real moves were played,,thinking why not just take this piece,,then I see I am wrong again. lol
In many tournaments there is something called "A Grandmaster Draw", where they will offer and accept a draw after only a few moves for reasons other than chess. (They are tired, a draw will help them and not hurt them, etc.) Fischer was correct in alleging that the Russians were colluding but he went about it the wrong way. So in order to crack down on this type of thing, you can't offer a draw (until after move 30, by which time one player may wish to press his advantage as they are out of the book by then (usually)) and so in order to get a draw early, they must repeat the position 3 times over the board instead of asking and receiving a draw from the opponent.
is anyone actually watching the WC knowing that it no longer represents the highest level of chess in the world? its just a random 1on1 tournament nowadays...
@@rohangeorge712 no... its because of the way the tournament is arranged and the way it works. Nor Ding nor Ian are close to being the best players in the world...
Just a comment. I like the commentary, however there are so many alternate tangents explored that I lose track of the original game. The side - "what ifs" shouldn't be greater then the actual moves played.
Looked like Ding got rattled by game 2 tbh, b5 looks like a very natural move but I guess Ding would rather take his chances on fighting for wins with the white pieces - a bit worrying that Nepo is playing so much faster than him if he wants to convert anything to wins tbh but that c4 knight looks so problematic by the end of the b5 line that it's hard to understand why he didn't want to play it out
Could just be the level they’re on + match strategy. Computer was showing zeros despite blacks seemingly stronger position and Ding is fresh off a loss so why not stabilize with a draw instead of possibly going down 2 points which would be a disaster.
Ding, tho he has good traits, does not have the instinct to be champion. He relies on his friends to get to above 2800 Elo, so he can qualify, and he plays passively here, which shows me he is happy to simply play the WC match to win the prize for second place. Ding is probably thinking that's the most money he's ever made and will be happen to retire on this prize, since costs are low living in China.
Ding: “Good game Ne…” Agadmator: “Hello everyone”
😂 he's always on point
😂
hahahaha this made me laugh
shutup
Lol so true😅😅

yes the position speaks for itself
Everyone who's been rattled by a game knows that getting a solid draw to calm your nerves is good match play. Ding bought himself some piece of mind.
He had an opportunity today to create winning chances with the black pieces, he won't get that too many times. That isn't champion mentality. Magnus would never have repeated

still after five years my fav chess content channel, thanks for not overhyping and always sticking to just a few smart variations
I was watching this in the library, now watching your video in the bar.
😂
And the worst part is that you don't have any friends in either of those places.
@@camilohiche4475 true today i was alone😪

Keep it up agadmator, you may not the biggest chess channel, but your the best chess channel.
Ding looks more confident today. I think he will have the advantage if he goes for sold main lines out of 1.d4 or 1.c4 not like game 2
I agree, complications will take him nowhere against Nepo.
i am sad when i think about how there isn't an agadmator for any of my other interests
i wish there were
Give me a topic. I might know some channels.
Feel free to pause the video at anytime to find an equal position
Ding and Nepo are so relaxed in the photo because they’re not playing Magnus 😂
The way nepo was smiling at the beginning of the game was priceless
Captures, captures - everything captures - so it's a draw☺
Thought Ding would win this one
Man do I love watching these two play it out! :)
I love that the very nice photos are making a return!
I am going to be absolutely devastated if Sacha Baron Cohen doesn't get tp play the first move.
Borat Sagdiyev 😂
For real
who that
king in the castle, king in the castle!
Great succes!!!!
This feels a bit like Game 1, except it was Ding who seemed to leave a bit on the table this time.
This game is sick, both players memorizing any lines that they didn’t prep and making top engine moves as is mere mortals gaze onward in blissful wonder.
Go Ding!
Enjoy your Channel instead of playing online and stressing out to try to win I can watch these Great Games you present I don’t have to feel pressure just relax enjoy the show and maybe pick up on something
Thanks for the quick recap!
I don't understand why Ding didn't just play the best moves.
He would literally win every time if he did.
Yeah, IDK why he doesn't stare at the board as white and say mate in 143 moves before moving a pawn.
If you're homeless, just buy a house
Agadmator always the Best to watch this.

nice
Could you just go over the game first? All these different lines are confusing to me- I can’t remember what the game is …
Antonio, honestly, from all the time allocated to the match, under 5 minutes are about the moves played and the rest it's all just alternative moves.
I remember Mir. The Soviet/Soviet-related cosmonauts did some very long missions.
Gotta have nasty pressure with a beautiful knight.

Can you let us know the score at the start of each video. Love the videos
I feel some kind of fear in game. weak. I expected more courage and risk - they battle for world chempion title.
What you can describe in 15 minutes can never be described in an hour. Impossible
When Anand beat Kasparov to take lead in their title match, Kasparov retaliated in the next game. That was Kasparov. This is Ding.

You can't offer a draw before move 40, but you can repeat moves unforced, which still leads to a draw.
What's the difference?
its not verbal :)

Sorry just too many "what If's" I just can't follow what moves were really played, dial it back a little please...
Rooting for Ding over Nepo, not sure why. Good luck Ding
Me too! Partly, I think, because he's the underdog.
Bc Ding is such a nice guy everyone likes him baha Go Ding!
Ding just threw his seconds under the 🚍
Agreed. Interesting after what Agad revealed about his relationship with Rapport in the previous video
He’s saying that he couldn’t execute their idea, not that it was a bad one.
