The game actually ended with 70. Qxh6 c2! (not 72. Qc6 Ne2) - The PGN I used from Chess24 was not correct as it also registered analysis moves they did after the game. SO No weird stuff in the end. Sorry about that.
It takes two to tango! And the two greats brought magic. Magnus kept pushing and Vishy tried fortress, counter-attack, stalemate tricks and more. Had it been just a draw, it would be forgotten. But now it goes into the end game annals for ages.
Incredible how Magnus analyzed and saw that knight promotion while being low on time as well. That is pure genius and demonstrates his absolute mastery of the game.
You can see at what level these guys are playing just by looking at 4:00. I never in my 39 years that I am living on this planet had this set-up in this marvelous game. Just awesome to see.
A masterpiece where I completely lost control over the game. Most games I can easily follow except some moves. But this one I struggled most of the time. Absolutely highest level of chess from both sides. I like them both a lot.
Hello Antonio! AA #suggestion from my side: what do you think about adding the player's time to the screen? It would help us to see how much time a player has and if a move was made with time pressure.
Lmao those kings were on the move! What an interesting game this was. So good that the two players actually smirked at each other, like they couldn't believe how the game was unfolding
I wish there was a league/battle just between these two greats! Let them play 20 games in all variants with an optimal time break, pretty sure that would create a few legendary sequences.
FF16 is incredible, 40 hours in, just got bahamut and still about 20% of the main story yet to go and do final fantasy mode once i have completed the first playthough, its an amazing game
PGN for this game is not correct because of digital board error. Anand resigned after move 70 Qh6 c2. th-cam.com/video/yUzfqQl7mfU/w-d-xo.html (timestamp 2:24:23).

About Final Fantasy XVI...I'm 47 years old, been playing since the mighty NES era... Being a huge fan of FFVII (favorite all time game) I can honestly say it's very good in terms of : - Graphics wise, the game struggles with frame rate issues... Playing on an LGOLED 55 BX... VRR on, noticeable issues and some hiccups. If you can get past that, the game is visually rich and gorgeous!!! Great detail on castles and overall structures. Some dungeons look visually stunning. Use performance mode. - Not an open world game (like Horizon Forbidden West or Ghost of Tsushima) but it's OK to wander around. - Side quests feel bland and underdeveloped. - Music is great. Amazing soundtrack specially using a Home Theater.... 😅 - You'll instantly recognize/feel identified with Summons from FFVII (called Eikons in the game).... Beautifully recreated. The ability of fighting like them is cool, give you a sense of greatness..... - Lore is vast and rich, could be improved. - Not a classic JRPG.... More of an Action RPG, battle system is cool have to timely dodge (a lot). - So far a solid 9/10. M rated, more dark/grim game than previous entries. Hope this works for you!!! Cheers from México!!
Every game between these guys feels like a WCC match. Always entertaining and the mutual respect between them is dope. I have not yet played the new final fantasy but I have seen gameplay and it looks amazing combat style isn't bad and it looks like multiple characters are OP
@@chakglanz4656@chakglanz4656 I know ifs are ifs but your if is a pure fantasy. His if was very much a possibility if Anand was lucky with his prime time.

1:08 Magnus calculated that in about 53 moves Anand would play B4. He decided to not allow that and played knight C3. Anand fell for this clever trap and recaptured.
Ooo! I didn't realise that your little hint at the start of the game was in any way spoiling - until you stopped doing it here. I feel I enjoyed that game MUCH more without the usual hint at the beginning. Thank you, sir! It's a great improvement that I didn't even know I wanted.
when Magnus played pawn to c2 Vishy resigned... that's what I saw from the actual video footage...where did the subsequent moves come from in this video??? not sure what happened here..EDIT: ok I just saw the clarification comment from Agadmator...the subsequent moves were analysis...
First I really like your channel because it keeps bringing me back for the variety you offer. My first and only tat is in honor of Anderson vs Kieseritzky "The Immortal Game"....sad to say it was childish and poorly done by an armature. I got this tat because I really loved chess in my 30s. Unable to really travel and busy with life, I played some postal chess but not many games. They were sanctioned through the FIDE in the 90s...almost before computers...I didn't have one at least. How do I find my ranking? I seem to remember hitting Expert almost Master...is there a way to find this historical info?
I played a little bit of FF16. It is decent. But I still prefer Wrath of the Righteous PC RPG. Only out a few years but recently released enhanced edition. It is based on Pathfinder version of D&D. Which I'm not much a fan of. But has improvements for PC. The reason this is great is because of a story, strategy, and how each level is meaningful.
best moments of the game vishy sigh of relief after a8 queen both smile after the move. then the reacrion of magnus after under promotion c1 knight with check. all in all best game. well played. ❤❤
Ive been playing FFXVI and I think it’s unbelievably good. I’ve played almost all of them and this one is stacking up as one of the greats as far as I’m concerned.
Final Fantasy XVI is my front runner for game of the year. Also, love all your chess analysis. My game has gotten MUCH better after watching you talk through these games
Magnus as usual thinking like an engine, exploiting weaknesses that are imperceptible to mere humans. This game looked like a draw from early on, but Magnus kept grinding ever slowly, tightening the noose. No blame to Anand here, only awe of Magnus's unparalleled precision.
@@WarriorJRD97 I'm not a Magnus fan at all, I hate his game. Anand, Gukesh, Dubov and many others play more creative and daring games. He rarely makes a move that I would call brilliant. But I give the Devil his due as the saying goes. He rarely misses the optimal move, his precision is unprecedented. And if there's a tiny tiny weakness to exploit, he finds it and slowly but surely uses it to win. Can't you admit that much?
@@GeraldM_inNCTrue that. Even though his style isn't really my cup of tea, he really is a machine that could exploit his opponent's weakness even in the worst kind of situation.
I don't think it would apply here but when one player just loses on time, the victor should be allowed the option of offering terms such as: I'm willing to reset the clocks to 60 seconds with a three second increment (for example then if the time loser goes on to win he claws a couple of points back, it he loses for a second time the winner gets 4 or, this example 5 points for the win and rather than than zero for the single loss he'd get -2 for losing twice...
I love FF games as well as action games like Bayonetta & Devil May Cry. So FF16 is a match made in heaven for me. The battle set pieces are incredible. Almost as good as this endgame!! I'm a little sad the developers sacrificed the deeper RPG/Party systems to realise this particular vision. Side quests, items & gear all feel a little wanting at times. However the world & characters still feel true to the epic spirit of the series - and the grimdark influence of The Witcher and Game of Thrones works surprisingly well. FF7 Remake does a decent job of incorporating classic FF strategy elements into an action RPG setting. So hopefully we'll see this stuff better realised in the future.
Great overview Agad! For a more in-depth (rather beautiful) analysis of this end-game, watch Peter Svidler's video recorded at the tournament venue post-game.
I’m not mad at you for the clickbait title but I wish I didn’t know this happened ahead of the recap. I always get recommended other recaps, it’s a good idea for the telegram channel, keep pushing this man.
The game actually ended with 70. Qxh6 c2! (not 72. Qc6 Ne2) - The PGN I used from Chess24 was not correct as it also registered analysis moves they did after the game. SO No weird stuff in the end.
Sorry about that.
No problem, great video as always 👍
B4
Right, I was thinking there’s absolutely no way Magnus would miss a queen promotion into check. He would’ve played it in a coma

Agad, what's your opinion of FIDE's use of the terms 'slow rapid' & 'fast rapid' please in WFRCC?
It's a conspiracy against Wesley So.
Afaik:
(0,10) is blitz.
[10,60) is rapid.
[60,120) is unrated classical.
[120,infinity) is rated classical.
So what's 'slow rapid'?
Try to check out the maths here - they said both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid'. Does this strike you as odd?
I see only 2 possible definitions for slow & fast rapid.
Def 1 - slow rapid means unrated classical [60,120) and fast rapid is rapid [10,60).
--> this means Wesley So is not classical WFRCC but slow rapid WFRCC while Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC.
Def 2 - slow rapid & fast rapid cut up rapid [10,60) into resp [35,60) and [10,35).
--> 2 issues here. 60min is not in either of these. Also, 32.5 is in [10,35). So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol. Wesley So is again classical WFRCC while Hikaru is (fast) rapid WFRCC.
Def3 --> Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, [10,X) is fast rapid & [X,120) is slow rapid for some 17 < X < 32.5. like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!!

My first and only tat is in honor of Anderson vs Kieseritzky "The Immortal Game"....sad to say it was childish and poorly done by an armature. I got this tat because I really loved chess in my 30s. Unable to really travel and busy with life, I played some postal chess but not many games. They were sanctioned through the FIDE in the 90s...almost before computers...I didn't have one at least. How do I find my ranking? I seem to remember hitting Expert almost Master...is there a way to find this historical info?
Ke4 would be a very strange opening move.
Anand playing rapid at this level at this Age ... he is a GOAT
He is not in top 5 in history, only indian can consider him as a goat
@@aminsarabi5508 top 5 of what? LMAO
@@aminsarabi5508 He is beating top 5 players left and right.
@@aminsarabi5508 He is a world champion
Nice joke 😂😂😂
Thanks for bringing out this game agad..
I played a little bit of FF16. It is decent. But I still prefer Wrath of the Righteous PC RPG. Only out a few years but recently released enhanced edition. It is based on Pathfinder version of D&D. Which I'm not much a fan of. But has improvements for PC. The reason this is great is because of a story, strategy, and how each level is meaningful.
That was such a thriller..!🤩
Wild that both kings end up on the F file rather than castling.
Amazing, a game from the top table !! Excellence guidance and interpretation. Thkz Agad
Incredible to think of knight promotion with such little time
Correction: Magnus never played knight c1, vishy resigned the game after pawn c2.
FF16 is excellent. The combat system is action packed. Good storyline and plot too. I’m only 2 hours in but great thus far.
best moments of the game
vishy sigh of relief after a8 queen
both smile after the move.
then the reacrion of magnus after under promotion c1 knight with check.
all in all best game. well played. ❤❤
Ive been playing FFXVI and I think it’s unbelievably good. I’ve played almost all of them and this one is stacking up as one of the greats as far as I’m concerned.
Final Fantasy XVI is my front runner for game of the year.
Also, love all your chess analysis. My game has gotten MUCH better after watching you talk through these games
Magnus as usual thinking like an engine, exploiting weaknesses that are imperceptible to mere humans. This game looked like a draw from early on, but Magnus kept grinding ever slowly, tightening the noose. No blame to Anand here, only awe of Magnus's unparalleled precision.
It wasn't a flawless conversion though. Even after the 2nd last move, white had drawing chances.
"Imperceptible to mere humans" god why are magnus fans so cringe 😂
@@WarriorJRD97 I'm not a Magnus fan at all, I hate his game. Anand, Gukesh, Dubov and many others play more creative and daring games. He rarely makes a move that I would call brilliant. But I give the Devil his due as the saying goes. He rarely misses the optimal move, his precision is unprecedented. And if there's a tiny tiny weakness to exploit, he finds it and slowly but surely uses it to win. Can't you admit that much?
@@GeraldM_inNCTrue that. Even though his style isn't really my cup of tea, he really is a machine that could exploit his opponent's weakness even in the worst kind of situation.
@@coolisblue He keeps getting wins out of games I thought were drawn, not by some Morphy brilliant move, but by focusing on some miniscule weakness.
Not knowing who is going to win until the very last move does, indeed improve the enjoyment of your game presentation.
Those last two moves never happened. Anand just resigned before his time run out.
Excelente game!!
I have been playing and following chess for 10,000 years. This is the most insane tactics in the history of chess!
Great game... Magnus seems to be the only one comfortable against Vishy
I don't think it would apply here but when one player just loses on time, the victor should be allowed the option of offering terms such as: I'm willing to reset the clocks to 60 seconds with a three second increment (for example then if the time loser goes on to win he claws a couple of points back, it he loses for a second time the winner gets 4 or, this example 5 points for the win and rather than than zero for the single loss he'd get -2 for losing twice...
very fantastic game
Damn fine game.
I love FF games as well as action games like Bayonetta & Devil May Cry. So FF16 is a match made in heaven for me. The battle set pieces are incredible. Almost as good as this endgame!!
I'm a little sad the developers sacrificed the deeper RPG/Party systems to realise this particular vision. Side quests, items & gear all feel a little wanting at times. However the world & characters still feel true to the epic spirit of the series - and the grimdark influence of The Witcher and Game of Thrones works surprisingly well.
FF7 Remake does a decent job of incorporating classic FF strategy elements into an action RPG setting. So hopefully we'll see this stuff better realised in the future.
I like being told what format the game is, even if it is noted in bottom right :)
What kind of engine? Toyota? Genaral Motors? Ferrari? How big? 5 Liters? V8?
The Mozart of chess again weaves his ethereal endgame magic! Magnus Carlsen is indeed the God of chess.
"When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object "
Great overview Agad! For a more in-depth (rather beautiful) analysis of this end-game, watch Peter Svidler's video recorded at the tournament venue post-game.
Magnus is just a legend. Put cudos to the 53 year old Master of Chess Brilliancy
Wow! What a battle!
Please include the players’ clocked time!
1. Ke4 is actually my favourite opening. I play it often, but only over the board; for some reason the online interfaces won't let me.
Not a game…a battle!
I’m not mad at you for the clickbait title but I wish I didn’t know this happened ahead of the recap. I always get recommended other recaps, it’s a good idea for the telegram channel, keep pushing this man.
Epic battle is an understatement. Watched it live.
Wat a slugfest this was. Unreal chess by both. I'd have lost that endgame at least 5 times with both colors, such was the complication 😵
5 times is an understatement
Age is just a number.
V. Anand still a lion
Awesome analysis as always..!!
pretty sure vishy resigned right before magnus (didnt) move back with his knight
FF16. I’m maybe 3-4 hours in. Enjoying so far. A good wind down game in comparison to the BR games I’ve been playing for the last few years.
The endgame tables say the position at 15:45 is a draw. Though I could easily see White winning it when human players are playing.
I am loving ff16 so far, really fun game
As usual magnus grinded water out of stone!!
One of the best game that i ever seen. Stalemate makes me stunned.
Last 3 moves were not actually played ....they were analyzing previous position after vishy resigned( when magnus played c2 move)
