Would be interesting to see what Caruana had prepared if MVL had "correctly" captured with the C pawn. Even a minute or two on that continuation would have been good.
It took Caruana 40 minutes to find the best move after the "incorrect" pawn capture, implying Caruana didn't have this line prepared and didn't know that move was a blunder right away, otherwise he'd immediately move the pawn up instead of analyzing for half an hour to find the best reply.

Also, maybe MVL thought that cxd5 is what Fabi looked at, so he tried to spice it up. Bad luck for him that his move lost the game.

I know this is a bit dubious, but so much hype has been built up around the Tata Steel Masters 2021(and for very good reasons) that people(and indeed this channel, apparently) seem to have forgotten that the TCEC Season 20 Superfinal is going on at around the same time. Well, I've been following it on Chess.com(in part because of Agadmator's videos on the 'eternal' rivalry of Stockfish and Leela Chess Zero), and it's only after game 34 - a third of the 100-game match - that a clear lead after two games of the same predetermined position was reached(game 33 was that decisive one!). So I'm suggesting, if possible, that he covers that game 33 - probably not right now because of all the great games of the Tata Steel Masters 2021 - but at a close later date. Yes, of course, as I've gone over it, 2/3 of the game was basically shuffling pieces around and that's not something Agadmator wanted to make a video about in past superfinals; but after all, it's the first turning point after a long time, and it's interesting to see how these computers converted advantageous but nearly deadlock positions into a victory(Also, looking at the trajectory that the games after that have been going, I believed that there will only be a few game-changers like game 33, so there won't be actually that many choices).
Just to update, from the time I made the previous comment, game 49 - halfway from 100 games - was another decisive one, so I guess, 4 games max?(Still a lot of fiddling in that game, but unlike game 33, there's a tactic that shines above all else).

At 12:00 of the video when fabi goes for h3. Instead He could have gone for that d6 pawn of Maxime. After bishop of Maxime would capture the rook then fabi could have taken the pawn on f6 with a check on the king and a simultaneous attack on the rook of Maxime. Winning 2 pawns.

You can, but white plays Rbe1. Stockfish says Be7 is the best move, losing a piece, because Rxf5, Qxf5, Bxe7 and you can't take back with Kxe7 because Bd3+ wins the queen. After Rbe1 I tried Be6 trying to save the bishop but this loses to an amazing idea. Bg4 attacking the pinned bishop, Be7 unpinning. Bxe7 Kxe7 and now Rxf7+! Kxf7 loses to Qf4+ Ke7 Rxe6+ and you either get mated or give up the queen Sorry for spouting so many engine lines, but I found the second one really fascinating. Btw this is depth 22 only so probably it's not the very best moves, but still winning
It's an option but it's still losing, you can go to chess com then analysis and type the moves which are in the description and see why each option one doesn't work, when you make a change it'll show the best possible moves afterwards and whether it makes it better or worst
Maxime might be a bit of an immobile target with his Najdorf. It's an awesome defense, but it seems everyone is laying a minefield for him because he plays it so much that they know exactly what to expect.
@@suryanarayan2032 Well, it's kind of nice that you know who you are talking about. King's Indian attack, white, King's Indian defense, black. Same setup, different colours

Chess can be enjoyed at every level. You don't need insane ambitions to enjoy the beauty of chess. It's the small things that make this game great. Becoming as good as you can possibly be and achieving small goals you set for yourself.
@@nadem7079 how so? Qe6 would lead to Qh5, threatening mate on d8 or am I missing something? If be7, u can castle while keeping the bishop pinned and later move the queen. Edit: I checked what engine says and the position is equal here as well as if e6 was played. Both have equal positions so Idk how it was a big favour to get rid of the pawn.
I assume by Qh5 you mean Qb6? If nothing else black can always play f6, Kf7, his pieces have decent coordination and his position is reasonably solid. Compare this to the position after e6 when black’s queen is stuck on the queenside and his dark squared bishop has no squares beyond e7. The engine evaluation is only marginally relevant - it just tells you “this position is almost equal if you make all the right moves”, which says nothing about how difficult a position will actually be for a human player to defend.
Chess is no longer chess when players only learn by heart which moves to play in which particular position, it turns into a "who's got a better memory" contest, that's probably why most of GMs start to play worse as they get older, where's Capablanca who only needed to learn the rules and at an early age he was crushing everyone?
At 13:25 I spotted Rd7 within a second it will give immediate exchange or piece up but still it's not best cause after Bxe4 both connectex pawns will get captured but still rook vs bishop is winning 😊
the pause on move 17 around 9:50, looks like Be3 is good? what am i missing? cant capture with the pawn, so queen captures captures with the bishop, and white still can castle and get the rook into the game. is it that bad of a move?
MVL AGAIN TOUCHED THAT POISONED PAWN 😂😂😂Why MVL I mean why ??? Maybe MVL determined one thing in his mind that "until he masters in this opening , he will keep playing and keep taking that pawn ..and kicked his queen on the side of board himself 😂
Yeah - Maxime made a mistake. The Najdorf Sicilian is so complex that one can't know everything about it. I suppose MVL won't make that mistake again. Experience is a dear teacher.
Stockfish at 32 depth says its Okay to capture with the e-pawn, but at 46 depth it's giving a winning advantage of +3.8 to White if e-pasn captures. Maybe MVL didn't analyzed the position deep enough, who knows

Caruana at classical is a monster no one play better than him
At 13:15 why not Rd7?
“Bishop catches on F6, just disgusting” Agad 2021
Good title, no spoilers
Everybody Gangsta until a pawn moves...
1:20 Can someone tell me how to easily defend against knight to b2 here?
I watched this, and "there's nothing more to be done" today!
It's amazing that MVL the leading "expert" in the Sicilian loses so many games playing it. Maybe time to try a new opening lol
4:43 why g6 and not Be6?
For the world's leading Najdorf expert, isn't MVL getting screwed a little too hard in the Najdorf in this tournament?
4:39 Why not go back with the bishop to E6???
Stockfish at 32 depth says its Okay to capture with the e-pawn, but at 46 depth it's giving a winning advantage of +3.8 to White if e-pasn captures. Maybe MVL didn't analyzed the position deep enough, who knows
+48 is inhuman levels of calculation
