yea, when u make it clear ur going for a different line, somethign thats not part of the game, its very nice. as long as its clear its not in the game nothing wrong for discussing a different approach
great job Antonio, always appreciate when you take the time to work through all the variations and HOW TO finish and win the game at the end, I always learn alot from your video. thank you!
Two connected passed pawns and a knight against a bishop is elementary. You dont have to calculate everything just never stalemate the opponant and never give the bishop a chance to sac itself for 2 pawns. Other than that you dont have to calculate that much, just slowly grind the win out
Definitely enjoying that you show lines playable by humans during the game and then after the game show us the face-ripping engine lines. Keep up the good work
56 moves by Niemann. 11 moves that weren't the top Stockfish line at depth 22. Of those, 4 were the same evaluation as the top move. 6 were the second move recommended with a non-impactful loss of value. 1 was Bxc4 on move 21 5:18.
why is no one talking about this more? lol 45 moves were 100% precise according to stockfish, which is unheard of in the history of games analyzed by stockfish, which is pretty much every game on record. It's quite literally unbelievable...
@@mambaASI Yeah but it is more, let's keep an eye on him at this point. I'd rather wait for actual evidence than blacklist someone on suspicion. He could've played the best game of his life.
@@MrMali22 I'd rather not give a known cheater the benefit of the doubt when there is circumstantial evidence and some statistical evidence that his game was fraudulent.
I would like to believe Magnus' bishop in that endgame was a good bishop. Able to hit a lot of black pawns, lots of space, not really impeded too much by its own pawns. And yet that knight seemed to be everywhere. On all the right squares, at least equal to or greater than that good bishop, in a relatively open position in the endgame. That knight was a monster knight.
@gjaegreag Right. Regardless of cheating accusations or what not, I think the endgame in this one is a cool study material, a case where a knight is better than a bishop in an open position

I don't think hans cheated. I think he makes bold moves that either help win or assure defeat for himself. In both cases against magnus I think the gambit worked.
@David Martelli that's what I'm saying. He could've gotten lucky and played good best tournaments because he plays like that all the time. And most of the time it hurts him but this time it didn't and magnus pouted
Now there is big twist in the tournament with magnus withdrawing from the tournament via TWEET and attaching an interview where the coach was seen to be hinting towards cheating, The drama is going to be REAL fun. Magnus has never ever withdrawn from any tournament in his whole career ,if he did this time there might me something fishy here, i guess the most logical reason to that tweet is , Carlson prep got leak somehow from his closed ones, so he was very unhappy being betrayed by them.
I like these kind of chess video format. It is vert educational. I never really learned chess strategy at all. It always go over my head. If onlf this kind of video are available when i was younger i might have learned how to play smartly
Agadmator, i got into chess 5 years ago and only some months ago i was able to play vs you (random rated 1+0) 3 times on lichess! It was nice! Awesome video, i heard there is a drama started after this game so i wanted to see the recap of this game explained by you as usually before knowing what happened after that! 🤷♂️👍
After watching this well explained video (thank you Agadmator!) I am, as a reasonably competent player, mostly convinced that Carlsen played a less than optimal game. It's also not beyond the bounds of possibility that a much weaker player can put in a perfect performance and improve in strength quite dramatically. However the guy himself (Niemann) has admitted to cheating online and that throws serious shade on any of his accomplishments. Maybe Carlsen got caught out and is throwing a hissy fit about it. Time will tell. Either Niemann will continue to rise in the rankings and Carlsen will put in more and more weaker performances as he ages, or Niemann will disappear having either played the game of his life or pulled off the cheat of the decade. My guess is that Neimann will be remembered for a dubious shock win over a dominating world champion after disappearing quite quickly
Magnus playing white gave his advantage away with a poor opening, however Hans being able to predict which variation his opponent is about to play and prep for it, is equally annoying.
Me, clicking on the video: "I wonder whether Agadmator will address the cheating suspicions...." Agadmator: 1:53 -- "Hans captures, this is the best way to do this." 2:01 -- "C5. Again, everything played to absolute perfection." 2:07 -- "There are some games that reached this position, but in none of them C captures on D4 was played, which is a new move and in fact the top move recommended by the engine." 🤣🤣🤣

He can't reached 2900 because he is a crybaby and he even can't defeat a 2600 guy...in the Olympiad this year he drew to a lot of lower rated opponents and remember he almost lost in the olympiad 2022 as well.

@@SeanStrain Hans felt the need to explain his exemplary play. This in itself piques suspicion, to my mind. If you got nothing to hide, why defend?

If Magnus has any accusation to make with evidence, please do so.
Got so excited hearing about and seeing this game, but now Magnus has withdrawn from the tournament and essentially accused Hans of cheating. Heavy stuff.
there is no way this is an impossible win for Hans. There were 2 pawn moves that obviously were great, but this is a winable game. The more I see things, the more i realize Magnus was just freaking out he coudn't get to 2900 with Hanz lowering his rating, and had suspiscions. But everyone forgot how they were treating this Hans kid, and what the reprecussions would be in his life. This kind of thing, and the way it was handled was a fail, and should never happen to anyone in their lives. I hope he gets monetary compensation for the damage done to him. Aditionally, what agamator shows as a brilliancy of Hans at 14:25 is right after Magnus played a sub-optimal move. There are also several places when better moves could have been played by Hans that he didn't play. There is no way on earth he was using some kind of micro ear peace in live chess, televised with people watching him in the room. All this was a massive, needless drama. I really hope the people who caused this grief on Hans get their just deserts.
It's pretty clear that he is using outside assistance in his games. He is playing 40+ move games with higher than 95% accuracy and even a game with 100% accuracy. Tons of games with 90%+ accuracy. Magnus at his peak is playing at 70% accuracy and Bobby Fischer during his peak was playing with 73% accuracy.
@@75ncv4hu9tg7 just last week Hikarun played at 99 % accuracy. There are alot of figures people read and look for proof. Kasparov even didn't condem Hans. The game he beat Magnus in was in no way perfect. There is no proof Hans cheated other than suspiscion wich has ruined the kids career. Anyway, he was playing live. How on earth would he have cheated? No one can say. Cameras, judges, everyone watching the whole time. I don't buy into the whole condemnation attitude. Innocent until proven guilty. If anything, let him play more times and use tech to try and catch him if there are doubts, right? He cheated when he was 12 and 16....jeez, if I was held up to things I did in those years now, it would be a terrible life... I mean, he even admitted publicly for hsi mistakes, and in my mind you only do that when you have nothing to hide and you want to leave your past.

He has the right mindset. He trust himself but for moments is fiercely autocritic, also knows chess is all about hard work and has a clear goal. He is not so different than other players, just more public about it. I find it really fun watching a player who will go for great things even if sometimes fail.
@@avg_user-dd2yb getting 2700 is hard work, I'm pretty sure Niemann already worked himself hard to achieve it. Magnus is just blessed with good genes and that's why he is on another level.
Hi Agadmator, just wanted to thank you for your videos. I consider myself an intelligent man, but after I picked up chess again after almost 16 years of not playing it, I feel like a Neanderthal. I hover around 650-800 ELO and still blunder a lot, but I love watching your videos as it's very easy to understand them and super entertaining, especially when I guess a move on the "pause the video" sections. Keep it up and hope you're feeling better! Much love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
You can be highly intelligent and still struggle with chess for the mere fact that the patterns of learning it are much better absorbed at a young age. The young mind has no biases and can focus on the game more.
@@rayfinkle2805 what does that even mean these moves havent been played before, what dont u understand when agad says, on blah blah blah move, it was a completely new game. and that was kinda early. this comment is wrong, we all know fischer is better than nieman but what u said doesnt makek sense
At the 5:11 mark in the video, instead of offering the pawn, Magnus could play knight to e5. This puts pressure on the backwards pawn and a potential check AND guards the pawn threatened by the black rook.
Great job Hans....and the way you have played after this game is pretty amazing. Love your fearless exciting unpredictable attacking play. Just what top level chess needs.
Magnus is so cocky that he will result in accusing someone of cheating before taking a L like a man. There’s so much elitism in chess everyone puts Magnus on a pedestal and refuse to accept with upmost stubbornness that someone could out play him. Disgusting attitude
Magnus has lost games to premoved games online, he's lost to little kids like Praggnanandha, like dude there's many times where Magnus has lost a game and just moves on like normal. I think you hate Magnus because he's just the best. but bro, Magnus didn't even accuse him of cheating. he lost the game and bounced from the tournament, that was it, that's why I think you just hate Magnus, because he almost said nothing.
Losing online in rapid isn’t the same to losing to a 2600 OTB in classical chess, and losing badly that is. He lost in ways he beats others, a slow painful loss. And maybe you don’t know anything about the mourinho meme and English football but Magnus definitely insinuated he cheated. And he did it in a way in which he can go back and say in the future that he didn’t outright accuse him of anything. It was a smart move. And to your assumption about me hating Magnus, I love Magnus he’s my favourite player ever, but I’m not bias and clouding my judgement - his attitude when losing stinks
Agadmator: I don't want to spoil anything.

4. g3 was played by Romanishin, Oleg Romanishin, when he was on his peak, midst 1970's, with great score,
Got so excited hearing about and seeing this game, but now Magnus has withdrawn from the tournament and essentially accused Hans of cheating. Heavy stuff.
he is clearly cheating
@@JoseMiguel-po8kc it definitely seems like a possibility, to know for sure we need to wait for more information, though.
@@JoseMiguel-po8kc yes definitely cheating when playing inaccurate moves...
did he really withdraw? where did you get this info from? I wanna see

very nice video. I wish this video was even longer ahahaha. A lot to learn here :). thank you.
Looking forward to the breakdown of how Niemann actually did it.
How he successfully cheated OTB?
Mad
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 it is a harmful accusation with no proof
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 yall are pissed some 19 year old beats the world champ
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 if you guys ever figure out then let us know.
Until then it didn't happen.
I have been checking my phone repeatedly for this upload
"It must be embarrassing for the World Champion to lose to me - I feel bad for him!” -Hans Niemann
Lol
Don't forget the "idiot" haha
Savage
no savage, just cheating
Cheating and bragging about winning by cheating
@@MasonNoThumbs cry hard!
Thank you for your recap. I saw another explain this game and understand this better with you.
That disgusting square was nice to see. Thank you for showing the supercomputer line we normally don’t have access to.
Disgusting checkmate.
i didnt find it disgusting tbh
The chess spoke for itself :)
The chess engine spoke for itself
@@iFkNxLegend nope he didn't chest
there is no way this is an impossible win for Hans. There were 2 pawn moves that obviously were great, but this is a winable game. The more I see things, the more i realize Magnus was just freaking out he coudn't get to 2900 with Hanz lowering his rating, and had suspiscions. But everyone forgot how they were treating this Hans kid, and what the reprecussions would be in his life. This kind of thing, and the way it was handled was a fail, and should never happen to anyone in their lives. I hope he gets monetary compensation for the damage done to him. Aditionally, what agamator shows as a brilliancy of Hans at 14:25 is right after Magnus played a sub-optimal move. There are also several places when better moves could have been played by Hans that he didn't play. There is no way on earth he was using some kind of micro ear peace in live chess, televised with people watching him in the room. All this was a massive, needless drama. I really hope the people who caused this grief on Hans get their just deserts.
It's pretty clear that he is using outside assistance in his games. He is playing 40+ move games with higher than 95% accuracy and even a game with 100% accuracy. Tons of games with 90%+ accuracy. Magnus at his peak is playing at 70% accuracy and Bobby Fischer during his peak was playing with 73% accuracy.
@@75ncv4hu9tg7 just last week Hikarun played at 99 % accuracy. There are alot of figures people read and look for proof. Kasparov even didn't condem Hans. The game he beat Magnus in was in no way perfect. There is no proof Hans cheated other than suspiscion wich has ruined the kids career. Anyway, he was playing live. How on earth would he have cheated? No one can say. Cameras, judges, everyone watching the whole time. I don't buy into the whole condemnation attitude. Innocent until proven guilty. If anything, let him play more times and use tech to try and catch him if there are doubts, right? He cheated when he was 12 and 16....jeez, if I was held up to things I did in those years now, it would be a terrible life... I mean, he even admitted publicly for hsi mistakes, and in my mind you only do that when you have nothing to hide and you want to leave your past.
@@tuckerlivingston Just remember that those are only the times when he has been caught. He plays these godlike games but can't even explain himself when asked about moves and lines. ruclips.net/video/Am_AQf1ZBq4/видео.html
Hello chess champs i wanaa ask is Any big chess tournament happening on September in which top GMs are playing pls tell after sinquifield cup 11th sep please tell i wanaa write Blog on that topic.
Ego isn't a bad thing after all .Hans is basically doing what Muhammad Ali used to do.The bigger the Ego the more challenge and better he becomes
Belief is a powerful thing.
ego demands hard work.
He has the right mindset. He trust himself but for moments is fiercely autocritic, also knows chess is all about hard work and has a clear goal. He is not so different than other players, just more public about it. I find it really fun watching a player who will go for great things even if sometimes fail.
@@avg_user-dd2yb getting 2700 is hard work, I'm pretty sure Niemann already worked himself hard to achieve it. Magnus is just blessed with good genes and that's why he is on another level.
What did Ali do??? It's not about Ego, it is about discipline and talent. All top boxers from that era trained very hard.
Slaughtered No wonder he withddrew He had a glimpse of the future
I wonder what Carlsen broke after that game..
Beautiful game, beautiful analysis
You might even say stock fish inspired it was so beautiful
And it was in this position, after Bd5, that Magnus Carlsen resigned in the tournament.
Thx 🙏🏻, Antonio. Another great presentation. ♾🌻 d
The most beautiful part of chess is when your opponent can predict your every move but they still lose- Magnus 2022
Finally made some time to watch this. Well worth the wait!
Hi Agadmator, just wanted to thank you for your videos. I consider myself an intelligent man, but after I picked up chess again after almost 16 years of not playing it, I feel like a Neanderthal. I hover around 650-800 ELO and still blunder a lot, but I love watching your videos as it's very easy to understand them and super entertaining, especially when I guess a move on the "pause the video" sections.
Keep it up and hope you're feeling better! Much love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
You can be highly intelligent and still struggle with chess for the mere fact that the patterns of learning it are much better absorbed at a young age. The young mind has no biases and can focus on the game more.
Omg he putts Carlsen in Zugzwang his chess really speaks for itself
it wasnt zugzwang, carlsen did mess up
@@rohangeorge712 I know but still
He shows Hans had better moves he could have made which proves he did not cheats.
Chess spoke for Itself !!
the fact there is a supercomputer only active when magnus is playing really shows the level that magnus truly plays at
23:06
'Quiet an astonishing acheatvment'
08:30 what if pawn takes f5 instead of the a4 right away? instead of the a4..
If you're going to break a ratings benchmark for the first time, beating the world champ is certainly the way to do it
What’s the big deal Fischer was playing these moves 50 years ago without engines
@@rayfinkle2805 what does that even mean these moves havent been played before, what dont u understand when agad says, on blah blah blah move, it was a completely new game. and that was kinda early. this comment is wrong, we all know fischer is better than nieman but what u said doesnt makek sense
Fantastic video!
such precise endgame by hans truly a genuis
or was it ?? lol
Finally, a drama. We haven't had one for a while
"This is all elementary stuff, I guess, you all know that..." I find the endgame still very hard to master, so any explanations are welcome.
At the 5:11 mark in the video, instead of offering the pawn, Magnus could play knight to e5. This puts pressure on the backwards pawn and a potential check AND guards the pawn threatened by the black rook.
Loved the bonus "sorcery line" at the end! 👏👏
“I know it’s Disgusting to look at” He is so funny
Great job Hans....and the way you have played after this game is pretty amazing. Love your fearless exciting unpredictable attacking play. Just what top level chess needs.
Magnus is so cocky that he will result in accusing someone of cheating before taking a L like a man. There’s so much elitism in chess everyone puts Magnus on a pedestal and refuse to accept with upmost stubbornness that someone could out play him. Disgusting attitude
Magnus has lost games to premoved games online, he's lost to little kids like Praggnanandha, like dude there's many times where Magnus has lost a game and just moves on like normal. I think you hate Magnus because he's just the best. but bro, Magnus didn't even accuse him of cheating. he lost the game and bounced from the tournament, that was it, that's why I think you just hate Magnus, because he almost said nothing.
Losing online in rapid isn’t the same to losing to a 2600 OTB in classical chess, and losing badly that is. He lost in ways he beats others, a slow painful loss. And maybe you don’t know anything about the mourinho meme and English football but Magnus definitely insinuated he cheated. And he did it in a way in which he can go back and say in the future that he didn’t outright accuse him of anything. It was a smart move. And to your assumption about me hating Magnus, I love Magnus he’s my favourite player ever, but I’m not bias and clouding my judgement - his attitude when losing stinks
I enjoy Hans confidence. It’s absolutely needed to continue on the path of improvement. I look forward to seeing more of him.
