One of the greatest strengths of Alireza is in these ‘drawn’ grinding end games he manages to put his opponent in spots where there are ONLY moves to keep the game equal. That’s next level chess to have that level of understanding

@Serendipity because in the whole history of chess only 13 other people have reached 2800 and now alireza is the 14th... not saying that Wei yi's accomplishment is not great but 2800 club is built different.

"At age 19 he was the youngest Candidate since Bobby Fischer. He was already the No. 2-rated player in the world, trailing only the World Champion" ... Not Alireza but one Garry Kasparov in 1983. History is repeating itself.
Also in 1985, the year Kasparov took the crown from Kaprov, Karpov had been the world champion for 10 years. If Alireza wins the next candidates he'll be playing Magnus on 2023 which will be the 10th year anniversary of Magnus Carlsen's reign as world champion. Will Alireza dethrone Magnus after 10 years being the world champion just as Kasparov did with Karpov? Only time will tell...
Kasparov also managed to beat Karpov for the first time on his 43rd attempt or so... just as a reminder for those who claim Alireza is no good because of his record of 6 games against Magnus, some of them going back to before the pandemic
That would be awesome if he hasn't already. Alireza said he's watched a lot of Agadmator's videos and apparently used to play in his subscriber tournaments also when he was rated 2300, lol.
Was not a Firouzja fan with all of the hype for years but I'm convinced. He's going to be a top level pro competing for world titles for the next 20 years at least.
I’ve said for the last year and a bit that Firouzja is a monster and I could totally see him as world champion. Glad to see he took #2 in the world. Well done!
1- Alireza started playing chess at the age of 8. 2- He faced a lot of distraction. He had to go through a lot of conflicts with his federation where politics was more important than chess. He had to move to France and play under Fide and then France. He also faced the pandemic that slowed down the classic chess for a while. Imagine where he would be if he had started earlier, got better support and focused only on chess !
Although he had to part with his country because every thing in Iran is adulterated with the dust of political affairs, he is still my fellow country man who makes me and all the Iranians proud. SHINE ON YOU PRODIGY.

Giri tweeted he hasn't seen a position like that and said it's hard. Shank didn't find the move. Even Alireza said in the interview right after the game that he thought that move was winning for him. Yet the whole internet (youtube chat, lichess chat,...) was screaming Rf3 and that it's an easy move. Lol. Maybe it's easy on depth 5 where we operate, but calculating all the lines on bogger depth for 2700+ is not that easy... what if white does not trade? What if this and what if that in all the sub-lines? Also.. if Alireza thought that the trade would be winning for him, Shakh simply believed him in the end... psychology under pressure...
I think Alireza needs someone like Kramnik to help him with positional understanding and further his opening and endgame. Vlad is only retired for like months therefore does not need to withhold state secrets I imagine. Personally, I think his floor is Topalov while his ceiling is Kasparov.
What a way to enter 2800 by beating none other than Shak who is God gifted with his incredible attacking style... Also point to be noted, Alireza is beast in all format NOW.. CLASSICAL RAPID BLITZ BULLET He will be Nightmare for other players in 2022 candidates
Honestly I only see Magnus and Caruna still stronger than Alireza in Classical (Alireza would eat Fabi alive in any shorter time format) And generally he blunders against them due to stress and luck of experience. This is likely to change in the coming years or maybe even months given how insanely fast he is evolving!!!
His decision to stay away from twitch and social media and hard working get rewarded. 14 yo became GM, 16 yo +2700 and world's top 20, 18 yo 2800 and world's 2nd. 20 yo and world champion! Wait for it. 💪💪🇮🇷🇮🇷 He is breaking records one after another.
I started watching Agadmator when alireza is 14,winning agadmator chess arena.Now,4 years or so later,he is 2800.It just pleases me to think how I have seen this whole alireza boy flourish.Its so amazing to think!I am so happy for Agadmator and Alireza
13:35 Kinda sad that you didn't explain this "well-known draw" that I had never seen before. With any other pawns anywhere else on the board this would be completely winning for white, and even in this situation you need to see that black can stop the passed pawn then grab opposition again, that black can grab the f2 pawn and promote in time to defend if white tries to drag the black king outside of the square of the passed pawn, that black can always move to g4 at the right time to cut off h3 and white has no way to pass a move here, and that at no point does a pawn move change any of this. For that matter, if the passed pawn weren't in those 2 edge files this would also be winning. I get that these videos are long, but this hypothetical wasn't a simple position, either.
The fact that this was a team event and most players needed to squeeze out a win from their matches made the games from this event so incredibly exciting and fun to watch ! Excellent coverage and analysis Agad, GG
I wanted to point out at 5:31, that half the minor pieces have been traded, but look at how structured Alirezas pawn line is!!! Nothing is overcommitted or overstretched. All these trades and his pawn line is almost as intact as at move 1. Shak had to accept another set of doubled pawns to just weaken Alirezas king side pawn line
Firouzja in 2021: Classical Losses: 4 Classical Wins: 22 Classical Draws: 19 Does anyone realize how good that is lol? Thats like 30 1/2 out of 45, more than 66 percent!
Hello sir, I just wanted to tell you something. You are a true gentleman. I've seen many youtubers who basically beg for like and subscribe, but you are not one of them.
All my friends in the bar agreed Alireza will be the youngest world champion soon! I haven’t discussed with my friends in the library yet but I guess they may have the same opinions!
All the top players know all the same openings and middle games. It's so weird to hear over and over, "This is nothing new, it's been played thousands of times". And, according to Bobby Fischer, chess has become just a huge exercise in memorization. It's why Fischer said he hated chess in his later years.
During the 2012 WC match between Anand and Gelfand, Garry Kasparov said : " This title match has no relation to determining the strongest chess player in the world". We could say exactly the same about 2021 WC match.
Really happy all the alireza firouzja's latest coverage. Just want to suggest that there were quite a few interesting matches in tata steel chess rapid and biltz tournaments. Arjun ergaisi which you already made a video of has won the rapid and came second in blitz with levon winning it. There were a few good matches but I want to suggest rapid match between Arjun and Sam shankland where Arjun beat him 17 or 18 moves using London.

@@matthies8431 with the advent of opening theories and modern engines and other technology that these players have access to, they are simple much much stronger than any other player to play before them. So, by that logic alireza is probably the strongest player of his age to ever exist
@@abdullahibrahimhassan7301 really tho lol . The machines really help today's chess players. I wonder if anyone will hit 3k rating in the next 100 years. I think humans will get so much better by time , not better than machines ever tho.
Not really… Magnus reached 2800 at the same age around 12 years ago, so due to rating inflation, the strongest is Magnus.
Firouzja “Farming” on the poor weak 2770 elo players.
Yeah poor 'weak' former 2800 players
love your coverage!!
Firo is no longer the future he is the now🔥🔥❤
🇨🇵 is back on top ☝️
*Present
As an Iranian, I don't really know whether I am happy or sad (:
@Joyous Sithole Are you South African?
@@rrrrtre4820 why would u be sad ? xd
And in this position Ali Reza reached 2800
Agadmator
Your videos are the only thing I look forward to in my day
That's kinda sad man. Stay strong, you can do it.
Damn mate, hope it gets better for you, stay focused you got it
Dont be sad man life is good
Legendary! absolute class , awesomeness, a champion and truly a great player to ever play this game of 64 squares!
i love it when agadmator recaps alireza games
Amazing talent. Wishing him all the best for the future.
Giri tweeted he hasn't seen a position like that and said it's hard. Shank didn't find the move. Even Alireza said in the interview right after the game that he thought that move was winning for him. Yet the whole internet (youtube chat, lichess chat,...) was screaming Rf3 and that it's an easy move. Lol. Maybe it's easy on depth 5 where we operate, but calculating all the lines on bogger depth for 2700+ is not that easy... what if white does not trade? What if this and what if that in all the sub-lines?
Also.. if Alireza thought that the trade would be winning for him, Shakh simply believed him in the end... psychology under pressure...
I think Alireza needs someone like Kramnik to help him with positional understanding and further his opening and endgame. Vlad is only retired for like months therefore does not need to withhold state secrets I imagine. Personally, I think his floor is Topalov while his ceiling is Kasparov.
Agad, your commentary is the best I’ve ever seen
What a way to enter 2800 by beating none other than Shak who is God gifted with his incredible attacking style...
Also point to be noted, Alireza is beast in all format NOW.. CLASSICAL
RAPID
BLITZ
BULLET
He will be Nightmare for other players in 2022 candidates
Honestly I only see Magnus and Caruna still stronger than Alireza in Classical (Alireza would eat Fabi alive in any shorter time format)
And generally he blunders against them due to stress and luck of experience.
This is likely to change in the coming years or maybe even months given how insanely fast he is evolving!!!
Ding??
We just were not ready for Alireza
His decision to stay away from twitch and social media and hard working get rewarded. 14 yo became GM, 16 yo +2700 and world's top 20, 18 yo 2800 and world's 2nd. 20 yo and world champion! Wait for it. 💪💪🇮🇷🇮🇷 He is breaking records one after another.
He defeated Mamed to clinch 2800, outstanding Firouja
yooooooooo. good for him. he deserves it. as an Iranian though, as unimportant as it is, I'm still a little sad that his flag isn't Iran's.
I started watching Agadmator when alireza is 14,winning agadmator chess arena.Now,4 years or so later,he is 2800.It just pleases me to think how I have seen this whole alireza boy flourish.Its so amazing to think!I am so happy for Agadmator and Alireza
An Iranian🇮🇷 playing for France🇨🇵, probably for the best. I hope he reaches higher ratings anyway. ♥️
13:35 Kinda sad that you didn't explain this "well-known draw" that I had never seen before. With any other pawns anywhere else on the board this would be completely winning for white, and even in this situation you need to see that black can stop the passed pawn then grab opposition again, that black can grab the f2 pawn and promote in time to defend if white tries to drag the black king outside of the square of the passed pawn, that black can always move to g4 at the right time to cut off h3 and white has no way to pass a move here, and that at no point does a pawn move change any of this. For that matter, if the passed pawn weren't in those 2 edge files this would also be winning. I get that these videos are long, but this hypothetical wasn't a simple position, either.
I’ve always wanted to know which game has gone the most moves before it became a new game.
#suggestion
probably the book move mate
For sure there are 2 of such games, but I don't know which ones. There also may be some games which are 100% equal
probably Berlin games
there are lines which just lead to a forced draw which have been played a lot, so probably those
Congratulations, Alireza, from Norway.
Incredible!
The fact that this was a team event and most players needed to squeeze out a win from their matches made the games from this event so incredibly exciting and fun to watch ! Excellent coverage and analysis Agad, GG
Finaly new video FIROUZJA
I wanted to point out at 5:31, that half the minor pieces have been traded, but look at how structured Alirezas pawn line is!!! Nothing is overcommitted or overstretched.
All these trades and his pawn line is almost as intact as at move 1. Shak had to accept another set of doubled pawns to just weaken Alirezas king side pawn line
Firouzja in 2021:
Classical Losses: 4
Classical Wins: 22
Classical Draws: 19
Does anyone realize how good that is lol? Thats like 30 1/2 out of 45, more than 66 percent!
"Cheers o Alireza", from me & my friends at bar or library.
What a blunder in the endgame! It seemed like a very intuitive move too
Hello sir, I just wanted to tell you something. You are a true gentleman. I've seen many youtubers who basically beg for like and subscribe, but you are not one of them.
All my friends in the bar agreed Alireza will be the youngest world champion soon! I haven’t discussed with my friends in the library yet but I guess they may have the same opinions!
All the top players know all the same openings and middle games. It's so weird to hear over and over, "This is nothing new, it's been played thousands of times". And, according to Bobby Fischer, chess has become just a huge exercise in memorization. It's why Fischer said he hated chess in his later years.
Wow!! Unbelievable! Congrats to the young Alireza on this incredible accomplishment!
Congrats to Alireza. Great stuff
One day, agadmator will make a video celebrating Alireza breaking 2900
March 29th 2028
Well done....thanks for the mini alireza saga. Good video's
During the 2012 WC match between Anand and Gelfand, Garry Kasparov said : " This title match has no relation to determining the strongest chess player in the world".
We could say exactly the same about 2021 WC match.
The mad lad did it.
Next stop Worldchampion
He needs to win the candidates first. Fabi, Ian and Ding might have some words with him
I can't believe the Giuoco piano is back in style; years ago is was obsolete.
1st. Bravo, bravo! Congratulations Alireza!
Agad, you slowly need to put Alireza's picture at your channel header ;)
It's a Live Saga, so cool.
Another great chess match dissected by agad, just a wonderful channel
Rooting for Firouzja hard in the future!
Wow just amazing 2800. If he sticks to the classical format he’ll be crushing everyone. On that level he’s simply too strong even for Carlson.
Cap he still has to prove he can handle fabi
Ngl Jenn Ali is great but Carlsen is a beast idk if he can beat him yet
Don't get ahead of yourself.
Yeah he's too strong for Carlson, luckily Carlsen is still above Alireza.
He is not even in the top five best classical players
Just here to appreciate Antonio’s commitment to the disappointment in 2800s not playing the Evans Gambit 😂
Dam his progress is exponential, making history so young. When i was 18 I was struggling to lose my virginity 😔
Alireza is Neo and Antonio is Morpheus
Alireza is Neo, Magnus is Morpheus. Antonio is Trinity
Really happy all the alireza firouzja's latest coverage. Just want to suggest that there were quite a few interesting matches in tata steel chess rapid and biltz tournaments. Arjun ergaisi which you already made a video of has won the rapid and came second in blitz with levon winning it. There were a few good matches but I want to suggest rapid match between Arjun and Sam shankland where Arjun beat him 17 or 18 moves using London.
It hits differently when you realize you are witnessing a legend in the making
remembering....some one else....palma de malorca interzonal...candidates...WCC...1972..
@Agadmator:
I'm hearing lots of low resonant sounds in the recording. Maybe try a universal shock mount for your mic.
💖
Congrats Firo, you really deserve this!!
