Okay I see you’re Indian, so you have a clear bias. Anand was world champion for 6 years. Lasker was WC for 27 years. Kasparov for pretty much 20 years. Magnus chose not to defend anymore after 10 years. He’s been #1 in the world for 141 consecutive months, which is a record. Anand has a fun style and we all like his personality, but his longevity is nothing special.
@@rg7535 kasparov is definitely much better case but I don't consider champions before 1950 much not because they were but because they choose their opponent. famously, alekhine didn't accept capablanca's rematch offer ever.
@@rg7535 Why would you be dismissive of longevity? Anand happens to be a champion that also did a college degree, has a family, has a life and still plays chess. For me personally this sustenance for life as well is chess is very special and something to look up to
@@rg7535ok, I guess you are not an Indian and see a bit miffed at all the adulation the man gets. Magnus is GOAT agreed and Kasparov was a WC for 20 years agreed, but bringing Lasker into this is absurd. Also Vishy is a multiple time, multiple format world champion. Kasparov retired at 41, and now when he plays, gets marauded although one can say that he is no longer a pro. Vishy became the world rapid champion at 48. Is still capable of competing with the best in the world on an equal footing, is consistently in the top 10 and maintains great sanity. Also, the man had single handedly revolutionized the game in a whole nation. So might try and underplay it, but the longevity is indeed special comparable to that of Korchnoi.
The call him "The Tiger of Madrass", he doesn't need a damn Morphy head! It's fun to put it on up and coming players and whatnot, but Anand is consistently a top 10 player almost 50, arguably one of the top five WORLD CHAMPIONS of all time, and has revolutionized the game for the largest country. He's a bit too important for the Morphy Head joke in my opinion
@@newil_yovac relax 😅 I think Anand respects and admires the old masters of his sport and would take any Morphy head with dignity and an ironic smile 😊
I remember growing up in India, we used to see Anand in the sports section of the newspaper every so often. I was not into chess at that time but had an interest in it because my home state had other grandmasters like S.S Ganguly, Dibyendu Baura etc. This is around 20 years ago, when both Sachin Tendulkar and Vishy Anand were were at their prime. One of them is retired for around 10 years now (after the longest career in international cricket of 24 years). The other is still beating the top guns in chess. One got the Bharat Ratna in 2013. I think it is high time the Tiger from Madras also got what is rightfully his.
In the subcontinent, Cricketers are gods. Other sports don't enough attention. Bangladesh had produced first GM (If I have to put it correctly, Niaz Morshed became GM by himself not his country produced) before India got one, but we are too far behind. Cricket has become 2nd religion in Bangladesh while football hit it's nadir. In chess, nothing happened at all.
agad honestly thank you for going over that Qb6 french defense line. i abandoned playing against the french because of that line a long time ago but maybe i will revisit it
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📅 The game features Vishwanathan vs. Wesley So in round three, both seeking a victory. 00:14 🤫 Valuable pieces were sacrificed in this game. 00:27 ♟️ Anand plays white and opens with E4, leading to a French defense. 01:07 👑 Anand plays prophylactic moves like King to B1. 02:17 🕒 The game is played in a rapid format with 10 minutes per player and 5 seconds increment. 05:51 🙀 Anand sacrifices his queen with a stunning move. 07:00 🤯 ******* resigns as there's no way to avoid checkmate.
Thanks Agad. I want to say this. This is going to be the fourth game I am gonna save in my favourites. The first game was the (Title names)Magnus is an artist, not a butcher. The way you said, "there is no way for the king or the rook...😄😄😄, epic. 2. Everyone needs to see this (title name). 3. The winning move will blow your mind (title name) when you paused for a second and said, "pawn to a5" and in the end you said you were speechless. Love your videos Agad.
dude all this time i thought "en passant" captures were a bug on the video replay. I didn't realize it was a legal way to capture pawns! And I been watching chess videos all these years lol
@agad thank you for explaining to us how to defend the Queen to B6 move, and giving us defensive options. for low ELO players like myself, it's really nice to watch a video a video of yours that can help us with tactics at our level (1000 elo). This is a great idea! I never thought of it! thanks a lot!
6:40 "a matter of showing class" that's why I had to stop playing chess. If my opponent refused to resign I'd take all of his pieces, trap them in a corner, and goof around for ~40 moves, then advance a pawn, then goof around for another 40 moves, and so on.
I loved that Qb6 move when I started playing the French Defence. To anyone who is not prepared, the queen's havoc can be deadly. It is similar to the Fried Liver attack in this regard.
"Everything is defended and everything is attacked", perfectly balanced as all things should be.
That's about the yin and the yang of it. 🖖
Too many draws due to this.
My life in a nutshell.
balance like most people against abortion not being fuckable
True
0:20 Agad: "I'm not gonna spoil any thing ..."
Also Agad: chooses the title of the vdeo "The TIGER is Hungry Again"
Each time he tricks the world into thinking his era ends ....and out of nowhere here he comes and shook the world ......🔥
The Longevity of Anand among the all time greats should be a case study in itself......
He is one of a kind🐯

Could someone say Vishy is still in his prime ? 2700+ and just smoked Wesley in a 10min , in dramatic fashion, and is consistently in the top 10?

Anand was awarded the very first Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award...
It must be quite the rarity that Anand is able to stay as strong as he does at his age
He’s only 20 years older than Carlsen
“Only” 20 years older
@@Wargasm54 Yeah since humanity lives 2000 years, what even is a meagre 20 years?
@@chessandmusicwithoskiez6241 dudes probably only 25 and thinks he has it all figured out… war-gasm 😹😹😹😹😹😹
Stay as strong at his age? Yes, but this is against the best of the best. Against the other billion amateur chess players he would mop us all up .
I'm disappointed it wasn't described as a barbarian attack. It was brutal.
Its amazing how Anand maintains his sharp chess skills even at this age.
agad honestly thank you for going over that Qb6 french defense line. i abandoned playing against the french because of that line a long time ago but maybe i will revisit it

6:41 even better if you can forcefully sack and win with less material..... PERFECT
"It's a matter of class."

When the Tamil Tiger closes his eyes, he is not napping, but calculating his path to victory.

I absolutely love this type of game. Exciting, fast paced, sacrifices, it has it all.
5:49 - queen taking on h7 also looked interesting (but couldn't find the finishing blow)
I was thinking about the same move. It eliminates the promoting pawn and takes care of Rg8+
Then white can play Qd6+ followed by Qd7+ winning the black queen on h7
#suggestion Queen vs. 2 Bishops games. Nakamura Vs. Carlson 2023 and Polugaevsky vs. Geller 1968
You say that you are not gonna spoil anything but the video title says otherwise😂😂
Priceless, powerful, pedagogical.
Anand plays brilliantly till the time he is stopped by Magnus and he starts losing again
6:40 "a matter of showing class" that's why I had to stop playing chess.
If my opponent refused to resign I'd take all of his pieces, trap them in a corner, and goof around for ~40 moves, then advance a pawn, then goof around for another 40 moves, and so on.
anand keeps on giving! Such an amazing player
Thanks Tavarish for providing the movements.
First the Knight's sacrifice! Then the Rook via exchange sacrifice. Finally the Queen sacrifice!!! Legend!!!
"The Tiger is Hungry Again". Could not be any funnier title!
Sometimes in chess as in life, in order to succeed you have to make sacrifices.
I loved that Qb6 move when I started playing the French Defence. To anyone who is not prepared, the queen's havoc can be deadly. It is similar to the Fried Liver attack in this regard.
Thats MINDBLOWING , who would have though that ? ... yeah Anand only.
Give us more Dubov games! (i have no idea if he’s playing)
I wonder how long Vishy will be hungry for playing these masterpieces🤩🤩.Great Video
When are you going to make that shirt, " And it is of this move that we have a completely new game."?
Very strange that Wesley didn't take off the white square bishop with the knight while he had the chance. It always looked like a beast in waiting.
Wesley's cat sleeps 20 hours a day 🐈 💤
For Tiger, age is only a number because the mind is as sharp as ever!
V. Anand's Immortals continue !! Master-Class.
Commentary for this match was fire, great job..
What a sunday treat! 😍
What happens if Wesley plays Qxh7 at the position where he resigned
Yes I am also curious .
then it is mate in 6. play Qd6+ then Queen and knight combo re enough to mate the king.
@@ksilver7198 oh got it. Thanks.
@ksilver7198 but that can be defended with black Qe7. Even if they exchange Queens black have 1 rock advantage. Am I missing something?
@@esplak Then white Qh6+ and you pick up the rook.
There is another game from that tournament. Svidler vs Mamedyarov. Insane game, especially in the end
#suggestion
"The Tiger is Back!!" Should be the title
7:56 I wonders what will happen if black queen takes h7?
May be Qd6 followed by mate in 6 ?
It’s a matter of class to leave as many of your opponents pieces on the board while delivering checkmate-more like a matter of humiliation!
Anand and magnus are still beast
Great to see some vintage Anand chess mastery
Just wish Anand will beat Magnus once comprehensively before he retires.. For some reason he isn't able to get thru magnus
Ya he mops the floor with everyone except Magnus
@@sonnyjay1432he was completely winning the last time he faced Magnus (in Norway chess I guess). Such a shame he wasn’t able to convert that.
What about Wesley going Qxh7? Then Anand Qxe8, Wes KxQe8, Anand BxQh7, Wes RxKnf3. Isn't Wes ahead by one piece?
This is a definition of quality
Defeated Wesley, nepo and levon 😮😮
I just realized I have no class when playing bc I always try to eat all of my opponent's pieces
Excellent game, excellent sacrifices
What more can we ask for indeed.
What about knight G5 before wesley goes pawn G6?
Tiger is alive as is said by Indians Tiger जिंदा है!!

John Nunn vs Jan roose
Many sacrifices& very complicated
Oh man. Wesley was ripped apart!
I don't understand what the queen sacrifice did to the position. The same line wouldn't work if you capture with the pawn right away ?
no it ain't i put the position on engine and queen sac was best even though pawn capture was also winning
This is GOAT material...
Anand have Tal's soul 😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
This is how chess should be played
Vishy completely destroyed So in beast mode
It’s call aggressive game thanks
Game of the year? Glad to seen it
World champion class just hits different
This man came after every 3-4 month and destroy entire field. God bless you Vishy sir🎉🎉
Tiger of Madras Zinda hai ❤
W. So hasn't been featured in many wins lately
Pls bring the gane between Svidler Vs Mamydyarov
Queen takes h7??
Tiger is hungry
Very nice game...
Anand is Tiger & Agadmator is #awesome.
Or Croatian tiger?
Bro Vishy will always be a beast damn
Tbh this is the first time I have seen a person from country other than India pronounce 'Viswanathan' correctly 😅😅
That quote tho
Brilliant game - sacrifices 3 pieces including his Queen!
He's 53 years old and teaching the young ones a few lessons.- LOL
I just trade everytime someone play the french defense against me🤣
"Its all about class" 🗿🗿
Online rapid champion so
He had queen bishop two rook and knight
Chess is crazy
TIGER 🔥❤
The Tiger of Madras is still hungry 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Nice game
