As @davidgriffiths7696 alludes to in his comment, we should appreciate Agadmator for showing the best side of Kramnik at this time. Not stoking the fires of controversy. This is a service to the game of chess and those who truly enjoy it.
Is there really any controversy though? Either Kramnik has totally lost his clarity of mind, or he's very disingenuously trying to cover-up a totally irresponsible & hasty misfire, while trying to maintain a sense of unearned righteousness. You can't ramble about how your mother taught you to be a man of your word while constantly squirming out of "I said X" with "you're a horrible person for saying I said X". That's not even criticizing the dishonest (or deranged, really who knows) denial that an obvious implication wasn't the implication at all.
So many interesting themes, and really highlights the gulf between being up material and winning the game! The way Kramnik ground out the slimmest possible advantage to stave off a draw is blowing my mind, but also incredible how Anand defends here. It really demonstrates that grandmaster mindset when someone understands so precisely the strengths and weaknesses of the position, and walks that knife edge for 100+ moves
Great point. Agadmator is a worthy ambassador for chess. Non-biased with no preferential treatment towards any particular organization. The only players he has shown favoritism towards are the legends of days gone by such as Tal and Bobby Fischer.
I think that Kramnik lost the respect of many in the chess community like myself when he started to call out some high profile players for cheating without any evidence.
The problem is there's no such thing as evidence in chess cheating for high level players if you're not witnessing it first hand in person. Kramnik tried to argue his statistical findings as evidence, and it's not definitive. Masters like dubov have spoken openly that if a strong master wanted to cheat, you would never know. They only need 1-2 moves. I think kramniks notion is just, but pointing the finger at Hikaru was a huge mistake, and for obvious reasons.
Kramnik is one of the best players :) to prove that black life in Grunfeld defense (which i like very much) isnt easy .Vlad plays many instructive model games with white vs Grunfeld ....even beat Kasparov in title match ( great game also) .
This game shows Vlad playing like Magnus in the endgame. In his early days Vlad played complicated games. No one has ever covered his great wins in the first Olympiad where Kasparov demanded he be put on the team when almost all GM's did not agree. Vlad was also the first player in modern times to go 70 or 80 games without a loss prior to his match with Kasparov. More of his games from the 90's should be shown as they are quite entertaining.
For the game winning move for Anand, why not P-E5+? Rook takes pawn, knight takes rook, king cannot take knight because of black bishop. So gains the rook in exchange for a pawn. Or am I missing something?
Anand on move 99: "this looks bad" Monk: "u can´t resign in this postion, u have to play 1 more move" Anand continues playing and resigns on move 101 Monk: 😳 "u can´t resign now, now u have to play 99 more moves!"
PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's WIFE vs Wesley's GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc
I understand having the Rook and Bishop vs the just the knight and couple pawns is winning yet white had no pawns left I’m wondering how difficult would it actually be to Checkmate the Black King at that point if the knight were able to fork a piece it would be a draw but I guess for GMs Kramnik would figure a mating pattern at some point Great Game Enjoy your day
2nd: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'.

But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game.

Some would say this game is very INTERESTING!
The best duo of those years after Karpov vs Kasparov
A good initiative focusing on the real reason Kramnik is well known👍
Great point. Agadmator is a worthy ambassador for chess. Non-biased with no preferential treatment towards any particular organization. The only players he has shown favoritism towards are the legends of days gone by such as Tal and Bobby Fischer.
Kramnik had some serious hair back in the day.
I think that Kramnik lost the respect of many in the chess community like myself when he started to call out some high profile players for cheating without any evidence.
i think he wanted some attention so he did it
he went after the wrong people that clearly are not cheating.
@@shivaranjan7053thats not true and if you think that you have mental problems

Hmmm reminds me of Lance Armstrong. Clearly he wasn't cheating but the math's Ole Kram presents is compelling... Just a thought
7:37 - Weird, and not lying here: my phone also started listening.
Same here!
Prime Kramnik was lethal
Thank you for this mini Kramnik saga in the Dos Hermanos - what a crazy field and what wonderful games.
That variation of the Gruenfeld is not for amateurs, professional opening experts only.
Actually no variation of gruenfield is for amateurs ... :)
Interesting
That's what I was thinking 😂
I missed the hello everyone while connecting my earbuds. Had to rewind back
That was an enthralling game and breakdown
That thumbnail...that hair...Young Kramnik is what it would've looked like had John Lennon lived long enough to be afflicted by 80's fashion.
why don’t we have the Anand vs Kramnik championship saga?
What an absolute beauty of a game. Much love to Kramnik, didn’t know he was such a boss
He is famous for ousting kasparov lol
It was a Great game a lot of precision
Ladies and gentlemen…
THE BEATLES!!!
Kramnik is one of the best players :) to prove that black life in Grunfeld defense (which i like very much) isnt easy .Vlad plays many instructive model games with white vs Grunfeld ....even beat Kasparov in title match ( great game also) .
7:14 my phone also started to listen to Agad🤣
My man Kramnik got flair 😂
The hair speak for itself xD
7:30 my phone listening 😮
that was a grind
19:11 there is a good discovery!!
Rd5+!
The knight is lost.
The knight is already protected by the Bishop 😂
We need the Kramnik saga Agad, please!!
Are we getting the Kramnik saga before the Steinitz one ?
kraminik gonna write a blog about himself after watching his own previous games .
"Hmm....intresting move "
Antonio has a great sense of humor. Grandmaster of deadpan comedy.
that hair is elegant
Trust me i found the E6 pawn move!
Now i am enjoying😍(Anand means enjoy in our language)
The quote you used above it is I guess said by Rudolph Spielmann. Please confirm
Just checking who's paying attention
@@agadmator That was either a blunder or you want to trick us, but rather unusual from you, Agad !!
5:38 indeed very very interesting move
the grünfeld is just so cool
What a grueling, but brilliant end game. How long did it take?
What happened to dubov never see his gameplay anymore?
endgame': spicy-spicy
Kramnik looks like a housewife from 1980s.
That was a clash!
I found kraminik's game and appearance very "INTERSTING" !!
I find your failed spelling, grammar, & punctuation very interesting.
@@johnsmith1474I find yo momma very interesting
#Suggestion please change who said that quote. Its not Capablanca quote.
This same moment my Google voice activated too😅❤
Kramnik in the thumbnail looks like Hackerman
What are the odds of that, my phone was also listening to you talk, right before you mentioned your phone was listening to you.

My head is hurting after watching this game 🤕
The most sophisticated computer is better than a Grand Master
QUESTION what is the record for moves to win a game?
10:40 casual Qh8 from Anand, but Agadmator is unimpressed lol
For the game winning move for Anand, why not P-E5+? Rook takes pawn, knight takes rook, king cannot take knight because of black bishop. So gains the rook in exchange for a pawn. Or am I missing something?
Very very interesting
@Agad ..... Hate to break it to you, but your phones are ALWAYS listening to you.
Weird...my Google Nest started explaining some definition to me right before you said your phones started listening to you...😳
After watching this video, I am sure that every one of the GM rated over 2500 play on 94% accuracy. There is no other way around it.
Sorry A but who cares about this chess in this match…Kramniks mullet is so f***ing epic that it makes all other hairstyles obsolete..
But who among us have the hair for it?
I can't recall I've ever seen a classic game in the Gruenfeld, where black actually wins :S
Interesting...
22 theory moves 😮
kramnik was cute ?!?!?!
Clash of the Titans❤
101 moves says it all
Who's that interesting lady on the thumbnail?
Anand on move 99: "this looks bad"
Monk: "u can´t resign in this postion, u have to play 1 more move"
Anand continues playing and resigns on move 101
Monk: 😳 "u can´t resign now, now u have to play 99 more moves!"
Interesting
Kramnik saga incoming?
Man pulling viewers with that thumbnail
Gud 1
The thumbnail lol
PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner!
Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end.
It's Hikaru's WIFE vs Wesley's GIRLFRIEND.

The cheating allegations make a lot more sense after seeing that picture of Kramnik 👀
Hans Niemann is the weakness of kramnik.
Truly the era that made chess boring.
Not gonna, lie karmnik is sexy af.
Dos Hermanos? Two brothers. Or Dos Hermanas? Two sisters.😂😂😂😂😂 which one is more appropriate.😂
Agad, plz i need more videos of Morphy or Capablanca 🥹
Free Palestine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
Incredible from Kramnik
When he is still in his right mind.. lol
xD
Not so elegant now
First
Gaaayyyyyyy
2nd: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer
