Would have loved to see a world chess championship between these two. Imagine after drawing all the classical games, then all of the rapid games, we could watch them play faster and faster. Hikaru is one of the few who can stand up to Magnus in the faster time formats.
@@abebuckingham8198 sure, number 2 in the world in classical, one of only 14 players in the history of the game to cross 2800, is not impressive 😂 I agree that in the era of competing Magnus it is hard if not downright impossible to get the title, that does not mean the others are not impressive.

I think that Hikaru deserved to win, though - his line was inspired, and if he had dared to play the moves that we found later, Magnus would not have had a chance.
@@bradleyw1753it's about the fight he puts out that makes the overall match so amazing, we know magnus has no real rivals that can match up to him so anything that comes even close works and hikaru is the only guy who seems to hold himself somewhat good against magnus after all these years
@@bradleyw1753 Simply Hikaru is the most consistent guy that Magnus has ever faced. It seems Hikaru's performance never get worse in every formats through the years so far that's why Magnus enjoyed playing him all the time. it's just Magnus is too strong
This is just psychological battle of world no 1 vs world no 2, showing how great they are especially Magnus when ran out of time. Truly match of the year
Everyone seeing the evaluation bar has been so deceiving and harmful to chess understanding. Quite often, even if the bar shows a big advantage, it ends up being a long complicated engine line that humans will simply not see, especially with little time left.
I remember watching some tournaments a couple years back where chess24 offered two different broadcasts - one with eval bar and one without. I wish they would bring that back.
Small question around 4:30, where Hikaru's Knight is hanging. Why can't Magnus take? If Hikaru goes Re8, Queen takes, Bishop takes and Rook takes. That means Knight + Bishop + Rook for Queen. Should be more than fair.
Great play by Hikaru and Magnus as well coming back in the game after losing his Queen I would’ve liked to see Hikaru find that Kf1 move when he needed it but like so many players when time is of essence they miss the winning move Thanks Agadmator
I found the first two "pause the video" moves very quickly, but without an in depth analysis as to how they would work in all lines - so it would be scary to play them !
Frankly, I saw the Kf1 move and thought it was simple enough. But Magnus saw so much deeper in such time trouble that the queen sacrifice to prolong the game was actually the only practical move to extend the game with how Magnus's pieces were hunting the White King. This was a most deserved win by Hikaru, because if he didn't play that way, the pawn would have been unstoppable. Props to Hikaru and Magnus.
10:00 I was pretty sure its rook e1 because rook take rook then you don't take the rook but promote to a queen on d1 then rook take queen rook take rook check only move king f2 then knight d3 wins , but then i realized after queen promotion white could just take the knight because the queen cover e1 , really amazing how magnus found that with the time he has.
i found king f1 so fast i was wondering what you were even talking about with rook e1 check threat, you'd still have a queen for rook knight and 2 connected pawns on the queenside
Magnus played well today. Everyone know Magnus cannot show his full strength in rapid chess, but he managed to keep up with his opponent, often referred to as the king of blitz.
Magnus is a demon in every section of the game . Strange that he lost on time . 7 mins n Magnus lost on time . But the comeback was pretty much Carlsenesque
"Magnus cannot show his full strength in rapid chess"... mate have you seen the ratings? Magnus is #1 in all three major time controls (classical, rapid and blitz).
You said it's hard, but kf1 is not hard to find. Ofcourse that whole line is not easy to see. But if Magnus's only threat is to bring his rook down to e2, king to f1 is the easiest move to spot.
I've heard others say that this time pressure is the point of Armageddon and I'm inclined to agree. The time deficit has to be a real drawback for Black, Black is not supposed to be able to play on increment in the end game. It would make getting a draw too easy
I am a novice chess player. @1:07 -- Why move your bishop to G4, when it is almost certainly going to be blocked by your opponent's pawn, forcing you to move your bishop, again? Was the goal to get your opponent to move his pawn? If not, then why bother with the bishop to G4 move?
I g one second increment in over the board armeggedon chess isnt enough although that creates thrill but two seconds increment would have saved the draw for carlsen
The whole point is not to give so much increment till time trouble doesn’t exist anymore. 1 second is the sweet spot over no increment. The 1 second is not for you to play on increment.
A world championship between these two will be the most watched event ever in the history of chess. Someone needs to be make this happen before they retire!
didnt win the latest world chess championship, therefore is not the current world chess champion. or do you think that if someone won the world championship and then retired without playing any more matches, they would remain the official champion forever?
Amazing accuracy by both players in a complex game. Hikaru one of the best players never to play for world championship, assuming Ding defends his title.
Thanks for the 3 pauses. I kinda found Kf1 on the 2nd pause. But I wasn't sure if that was the best. LOL, no way I would've found any of the moves if I had all the time in the world. Keep up the great videos, Agadmator. Treat to watch and learn.
If the Clock was not an issue, could Magnus have reasonably drawn or won this game if both players continued to play at the same level? Was Magnus in a losing position?
He played rook g5 as his last move, and that was already a bad move even if his time didn't run out. And yes his position was losing in every possible way. He only had a fighting chance because of the limited time, meaning Hikaru could blunder. With no time pressure Magnus has no chance of drawing from that position.
Nothing wrong with being angry at failure. The key is to be polite to your opponent and the crowd and officials, but expecting no emotion is weird. If you don’t care, don’t play.

Hikaru is not strong enough to be a world champion. He's fast but in classical time control he's simply not that impressive.

Looks like he took the top 3 and put them into the blender.

That means Knight + Bishop + Rook for Queen. Should be more than fair.
Do you mean the 3:50 mark?
after rook tskaes bishop white queen takes knight in tgea center which is now undefended. Always look for a couple of next moves after exchange !
At 4:07 what about queen to c2?
4:34 why can’t you still do rook e8 to win the queen?
Thanks for always reading and getting feedback from the comments really nice to see the clock
Great play by Hikaru and Magnus as well coming back in the game after losing his Queen I would’ve liked to see Hikaru find that Kf1 move when he needed it but like so many players when time is of essence they miss the winning move Thanks Agadmator
I love Magnuses passion. And Hikaru really did well in deciding what prep to use. Just enough to win some time on the goat.
This is the best rivalry in chess.
What if instead of night g2 go night c4 discovery check and pick up the rook? Can anyone show this line if its better?
8:47 what about knight C4? (I am too lazy.. somebody do it for me)
"Punish this insolence" is a phrase I will have to use more.😆😆
🤣
I found the first two "pause the video" moves very quickly, but without an in depth analysis as to how they would work in all lines - so it would be scary to play them !
You should also emphasize the one dominating the whole game and the point where situation turns around
4:34 instead of recapturing the rook you should check the king and take the queen
Frankly, I saw the Kf1 move and thought it was simple enough. But Magnus saw so much deeper in such time trouble that the queen sacrifice to prolong the game was actually the only practical move to extend the game with how Magnus's pieces were hunting the White King.

And once again our RUclips hero posts another fine chess video with almost zero time left on the clock!
cant believe hikaru didnt upload yet
He might be busy with the tournament
@@humbleguy1533 doesn't usually stop him. He uploaded it before your comment
@@dessertstorm7476 he even starts streaming DURING a match, when he goes to the confessional booth 🤣
he actually did find king f1, timestamp @2:40:30
He found it, but on the live stream that I checked he was talking about Nc2+ instead of Ng2+. Way easier variation than one that Agad shows.
why was the knight not taken by the rook as per the example
About 3:48
Punish Harrwitz for his great insolence and activate your inner Morphy.
I want to know whether the position in which magnus lost on time was winning for hikaru
Can you consider going back to the old background or something similar. It really makes a huge diffrence.
I watch a hell of a lot of AI chess, but Magnus and his gang always keep me interested in human play (with the help of agadmator, of course).
The standing handshake says a lot about this legendary matchup
Thx .. your videos are awesome
Magnus played well today. Everyone know Magnus cannot show his full strength in rapid chess, but he managed to keep up with his opponent, often referred to as the king of blitz.
@emanuellucin who is referred to as the king of blitz?
I always liked his chess moniker "speed demon." And the level of respect he gets for blitz even compared to Magnus.
Magnus is a demon in every section of the game . Strange that he lost on time . 7 mins n Magnus lost on time . But the comeback was pretty much Carlsenesque

4:32 if rook captures on f4 then rook E8 check and the queen is lost no?
Yes queen is lost but for 3 pieces rook, knight and bishop
@@sujankundaikar626 right but then a3 and you get the knight back, i dunno.
Only thing stopping magnus from winning is his own time...
Did anyone notice that Hikaru has two peg legs? He cut off his legs and replaced them with two giant chess pieces
Very exciting game 🤩!
8:04 why can't Hikaro take the black knight with his pawn?
Show the pragg and ding game
Crazy game 😮
Who would have won if there was more time?
A fascinating game between two gladiators!!! 🤼♂️
Cool video, first time i see Hikaru vs Hikaru match 😅
Just me got confused with agdmator swaping the names during the game?
Where is Levon Aronian?
You said it's hard, but kf1 is not hard to find. Ofcourse that whole line is not easy to see. But if Magnus's only threat is to bring his rook down to e2, king to f1 is the easiest move to spot.
This is some great chess. Glad it was between these 2
It's nice to see Hikaru at 2803. Playing for the enjoyment and entertainment aspect has definitely made a difference in his game
It's an interesting time format for an OTB game; however, it may want to be tweaked to account for its physicality.
heh, they call it Armageddon for a reason)
I've heard others say that this time pressure is the point of Armageddon and I'm inclined to agree. The time deficit has to be a real drawback for Black, Black is not supposed to be able to play on increment in the end game. It would make getting a draw too easy

Why Hikaru's rating is still 2794 ??
Please update it from nex match.
I wonder if Magnus ever burns time on purpose just to make his opponents think he’s out of prep
I used to do that. Tends to cause opponent to stop burning time to find the best move.
I doubt it. Every second is valuable to them.

Tough loss. The way Magnus has turned this around is incredible.
