Ever since discovering his games years ago, Ivanchuk has become my favorite player to watch. In this age of engines and memorization, he seems to be one of the only great players to often play in a way that is interesting to himself as opposed to just striving for engine accuracy. He is also fascinating in that he is capable of beating the best players or losing to mediocre players depending on his mood. Not many players are such a wild card and genuine threat across the spectrum like he is. I hope the other masters enjoy getting to play such an interesting player.
I haven't seen Dubov competing much lately, but he is the only other player that comes to mind for me. Plays very fun, creative ideas, never afraid to get into a dubious position and play outside the box, or innovate in the opening.
Normally when Magnus grinds out an endgame against someone we think of it as him torturing the other player, I think on this occasion it was the other way around.
I appreciate your joke. And it would be much funnier in other circumstances. But let you know that currently Ukrainians don't like the stereotype jokes about the russians aimed to them. Thank you for your understanding.
I was thrilled to see this game turn out like this. Tricky endgame is the best possible scenario to watch Magnus and Ivanchuk trade blows. Wonderful display from Ivanchuk to find that complicated defensive resource to hold the draw.
Chucky masterful with the mind games. That knight move to 'defend' the fork was genius...seems to have instantly made Magnus dismiss the possibility of another fork.
What an astonishing game. My little brain can barely comprehend it. Incredible coverage, as usual, Agadmator. You're quickly climbing the ladder to being my favorite RUclipsr :)
Mr. Agadmator, I want to thank you a lot. I've been fighting monsters in my head, and battled it out with my illnesses, and your videos help me a lot. You don't know the power of your actions and attitude. Also, today I defeated a player using a strategy I saw on one of your videos. It was far from a Tal move, but I enjoyed it. Thanks!
The quote by Magnus"I dont believe in fortresses" is certainly very logical to be brought up here since Chucky created the most impenetrable knight/rook fortress to guard his king and withstand a brutal queen attacks literally from every angle down to a 123 move!! Just an epic game from both sides
Magnus might be the strongest player currently alive due to strong prep and memorization, also thanks to the power of computer analysis, but he doesn't hold a candle to Fischer's brilliance and creativity. Chessmetrics (which is less inflationary than Elo) also puts Fischer's peak at 2895, quite a bit ahead of Magnus's peak FIDE of 2882.
100% agree w/u, but here Magnus wouldve won 9 times out of 10. Pretty much stupid the way magnus didnt play one of the easiest move he has missed. I obviously knew it just after took the pawn, his reaction made even think he missclicked that or he just took the pawn even seeing that fork, like his brain took the pawn but he was planning the fork I said thay because it happens to me, i want to do something and do other thing and i like, "aaaagah f***" hhaa They say wesley, duda, pragg but i will always say, the real Magnus kryptonite is Chucky
Of course they were low on time and everything…but I noticed 16:31 Could’ve been a potential Queen sacrifice, with the king and pawn marching forward and no clear way for the white king to stop the push. Would’ve been a brilliant way to grab the win
Ivanchuk is like a modern version of Mikhail Tal. When I read in a newspaper in 1990s where he beat Kasparov at Linares tournament, I immediately became a fan of him.
According to the engine data arriving from a small buzzer that I store with my sporting goods (between my bocce balls and corn hole), e3 is a better move than resigns.
It was indeed the 50 move rule that ended it. Or an incredible coincidence, but move 122 being the 50th move exactly would be crazier than dear Chucky himself
End games with queen(s) and an open board are INSANELY COMPLEX. You'd THINK, "There is only a couple of pawns, a queen, and a king, it can't be THAT HARD to find the winning moves...." It IS very hard though...
17:47 "So knight to G f*cking G5" - Agad
I heard that too!
Unfortunately Knight is pinned!!!!
Lol he was saying "knight to g5-I mean king g5" without using "I mean" then it just sounded funny coincidentally
Haha.

Definitely can relate to this comment very well.. always was a threat no doubt.
@@dogeking3432 Ivanchuk, Dubov and Grischuck are my favorites for their unpredictability. Sad that Dubov and Grischuk don't play much these days.
@@dogeking3432 I'll have to check out more of his games! That kind of player is just fun to watch.

This draw is more impressive than a win

😂😂😂😂😂
And it was in this position that Magnus Carlsen believed in fortresses
🤣
😂 😂 😂 😂
Magnus:"I don't believe in fortresses. "
Ivanchuk:" hold my vodka!"

Knight to G-Fucking G5.
WAtched the end of this game, brilliant defence by Ivanchuck!
Ivanchuk
Ivanchuck is the type of player that can surprise anyone with his prep and find a difficult to dispute attack in a lot of positions.
Rare to see magnus not convert a winning endgame, chucky still has it!
SPOILERS!!
@@Rkcuddles lol
@@Rkcuddles why would you read the comments first?
@@mariob3864 its the top comment featured right in front of my face
@@Rkcuddles don't see comments before video. Duh.
That was very entertaining live. Chucky “the goofy godkiller” v. a World No. 1, again! That end was a grind
I was watching it live, Vasyl built a Trolltress and started taunting Magnus from the top of it "Your mother was a hamster!"
Good one.
I watched this live. Chucky instantly, (seemingly) found the only way to hold it. Fascinating.
I was thrilled to see this game turn out like this. Tricky endgame is the best possible scenario to watch Magnus and Ivanchuk trade blows. Wonderful display from Ivanchuk to find that complicated defensive resource to hold the draw.
Chucky masterful with the mind games. That knight move to 'defend' the fork was genius...seems to have instantly made Magnus dismiss the possibility of another fork.
Magnus: I dont believe in fortresses
Ivanchuk: Destroy my fortress
Chucky trolling Magnus with that opening lol
Was thinking the same
lmao I guess it was worth a try!
exactly what i thought
What an astonishing game. My little brain can barely comprehend it. Incredible coverage, as usual, Agadmator. You're quickly climbing the ladder to being my favorite RUclipsr :)
Mr. Agadmator, I want to thank you a lot. I've been fighting monsters in my head, and battled it out with my illnesses, and your videos help me a lot. You don't know the power of your actions and attitude.

Congratulations, it might not have been a crazy Tal move but it still worked and you deserve the win :)))
An honorary world champion title and prize money should be given to Vasyl Ivanchuk for his long lasting and genius carrier
I would do Him vs Nepo this year.
The chess, speaking for itself, wrote a very long and intricate essay
Whoever came up with that quote, "chess speaks for itself" probably pulls ideas out of his ass for a living.
@@AnonymousCortex Well actually Hans said that in an interview and suddenly everyone's using it
@@AnonymousCortex Hans. Its generally used ironically. As in OP.
@@XXROCKANDROLLPOWERXX I was making a joke, as Hans is suspected of pulling ideas out of his ass during games.
@@AnonymousCortex Oh ok. Poor man all of the chess world is after him
After this match magnus starts to belive in fortress
The quote by Magnus"I dont believe in fortresses" is certainly very logical to be brought up here since Chucky created the most impenetrable knight/rook fortress to guard his king and withstand a brutal queen attacks literally from every angle down to a 123 move!! Just an epic game from both sides
Magnus did penetrate twice and missed the winning move.
@@remainconfident1 it was before the Rook, knight defensive combo in the end game
Clearly Chucky has a sense of humor. It also strikes me that was a gesture of solidarity.
Only Vasyl can have his king on g3 so early in the game.
Ivanchuk is a legend. Check out his king march to D4 versus wei Yi.
#suggestion
@@andretirta9801 I believe that game has already been covered - search for “Vassily, your king is on d4!” and you should find it :)
@@AtlasV- thank you!
Ivanchuk is a legend, I wish he was still in his prime
Don't you think after that game he IS still in his prime?
@@drziggyabdelmalak1439 no he is super jumpy in his results and that made him such a legend but it’s just a good game if his
these guys never disappoint us when they played against each other
Chukky whether you win or lose, we just love you. ❤you are with your style. No one can take him easy
11:42 Ivanchuk pulls up his good old trick)))
an unexpected blunder which completely throws his opponent off the guard)))
Скобки убери

A Game of Chess Gods!!!!!!!
I enjoy your art 🎨 ✨️ 😌
I would have loved to see Magnus play Fischer.
I hope Magnus doesn't go nuts.
I would have also liked Fisher but in random chess because that will prove the true skills of Magnus.
Magnus might be the strongest player currently alive due to strong prep and memorization, also thanks to the power of computer analysis, but he doesn't hold a candle to Fischer's brilliance and creativity. Chessmetrics (which is less inflationary than Elo) also puts Fischer's peak at 2895, quite a bit ahead of Magnus's peak FIDE of 2882.
10:54 Even I saw that rook blunder, theres hope.
Clicked this vid quicker than Magnus resigned against Hans
Chucky is Carlsen’s kryptonite 😅

They say wesley, duda, pragg but i will always say, the real Magnus kryptonite is Chucky
It takes an ivanchuk to tank an endgame beast like magnus
Indeed it was the 50-move rule.
Any game with Ivanchuk is guaranteed to be great. One of the most entertaining to watch
Chucky found Rc2, the only good move, with 1 second on the clock
This all would not have happened if Magnus had found the king-and-rook-fork. Very nice game.
Excellent description and analysis! 👏 👏 👏
Ivanchuk is a rebel poet of chess.
17:47 knight to g what?!?! Agadmator I’m surprised, sir 😂
Lmfao
Knight is pinned!!!!
This was absolutely brilliant by Chucky...! :D
I watched it live, it reminded me of my stupid mistakes
Can you imagine you learned the rules of chess an hour ago, and this video is the next thing you watch?
“But it’s chucky so you never know”
Ivanchuk was trying that 2 move victory
Chucky is true genious of this game. Such a cool guy, hats of to you sir!
Chuky playing the same opening as Niemann lol
Magnus: "I don't believe in fortresses."
Ivanchuk: "I'll make you believe."
Your videos are practically the only ones I watch at normal speed these days. Make them as long as you please!
Funny, because for me it's literally the only channel I watch at 2x speed.
AMASING GAME! plz agad dont worry about longer videos!! we will watch till the end!😅
I always enjoyed Ivanchuk’s games, he is truly a unique player. To find that fortress at age 53, against Magnus Carlsen, in a rapid game… wow.
clash between these 2 players never disappoints.
5:45 "And just king to F2. The king will be very safe there. So, knight to D3 with check..."
Magnus: doesn't my chess speak for itself?
Ivanchuk: let me show you a fortress
this is the "funniest" serious commentary every
Of course they were low on time and everything…but I noticed 16:31 Could’ve been a potential Queen sacrifice, with the king and pawn marching forward and no clear way for the white king to stop the push. Would’ve been a brilliant way to grab the win
Not when you play against Chucky
White king can just take the opposition and draw
Ah, I have waited for this all evening!
What if Vanchuk had a Bishop instead of a Knight ?
He Cannot make a proper fortress like this game.
So that's the Power of Knight
The nosepicker vs the forfeiter
Love the look on Ivanchuck's face. Did he look at Carlton that way when he made his 2nd move?
It was in this position! I got dizzy and realized the word Fortress is unbelievablely real
"If he can do it he can do it" -Agad
Great game by both of them. Clash of titans.
If he can do it he can do it😂
Agafmator makes GM seems normal human beings at 11:13
Simpli brilliant!! Expertise in end game on display!!
Magnus might not believe in fortresses, but he believes in Chucky
I would not have been able to maintain the fortress that long. Especially with the intimidation factor of playing against Magnus.
Ivanchuk just found a chess riddle for chees player after 100years.
After years of watching agad I have never seen him curse. At 17:49 it might be the first time ever I have heard agad curse in over a thousand videos
Vasyl missed a fork near the end, he could have won
Chucky has been studying Hans' opening theory
Ivanchuk is like a modern version of Mikhail Tal.
When I read in a newspaper in 1990s where he beat Kasparov at Linares tournament, I immediately became a fan of him.
That was truly the dance of the engines
Magnus was as nervous during this game as most players are against him
How do you know did he tell you
@@louisvuittondonvg9040 not actually but Garry Magnus's teacher told him....
@@louisvuittondonvg9040 If you watch the live game, he looks very nervous. The commentators agreed too.
This is the best chess channel mahn! could you also comment on magnus vs gelfand from a day ago.
According to the engine data arriving from a small buzzer that I store with my sporting goods (between my bocce balls and corn hole), e3 is a better move than resigns.
if ivanchuk claims a fortress you can bet that i believe him
Love this Ivanchuk content.
If Ivanchuk is playing then I'm watching!
"If you find a fortress against Magnus Carlsen, you will sleep very well tonight "
It was indeed the 50 move rule that ended it. Or an incredible coincidence, but move 122 being the 50th move exactly would be crazier than dear Chucky himself
End games with queen(s) and an open board are INSANELY COMPLEX.
You'd THINK, "There is only a couple of pawns, a queen, and a king, it can't be THAT HARD to find the winning moves...."
It IS very hard though...
Video is loading..
In my mind: hello everyone!
"Completely new game" line is my favourite.
That endgame gave me a heart attack.
awesome defence from chucky ... should be in the books
Magnus said he does not believe in fortresses. Ask Chucky.
Chucky is just such a lovely player. His games always make me smile
Much Luv Bruv.....I haven't watched it but I'm glad to see Magnus powering through it..!!
Not sure whether this should win the prize for most convoluted castling by hand or most convoluted way of transposing into a modern benoni.
That was an Apocalypse underground bunker.
Again, thank you @agadmator for bringing such quality content in so less time. I hope you get many many more subscribers.
17:48 - the only time I have ever heard agadmator curse!

17:45 swearing D:
Love your analysis, channel, and puppy ❤️✌🏽🐕 it would be so lit to play in such a way that fortresses aren't needed 😲
