At a later point in the video you point out a line where the king and rook are used in concert to force a rook trade. But at 12:30 a rook trade could already be forced with Re4. Can't move the king or white would just lose the rook, so has to capture the rook and get captured by the knight. But it would be harder to make progress with the rooks off the board (after all, the white rook is pretty much harmless at this point) so I think that's why Maxime kept threatening a rook exchange but never forcing one.
Throught the video agadmator keeps saying with rooks of the board its over for white and at 12:30 MVL had an opportunity to force rooks of the board. So I was really wondering why he didn't do it. Looking closer at the position its a big mistake if black would trade rooks here, because after that white can trade his h pawn for blacks g pawn. Black can't prevent that and after that its a clear draw. Would have been nice if agadmator had mentioned that here because he keeps saying without rooks on the board black wins. Well, except in this position xD
There's a funny line worth mentioning that occurs in a few positions including the one at 13:00 : I wondered why Maxime didn't simply play Rd3 to threaten unavoidable mate with Rg3#, and it happens there is a mad rook stalemate after the white rook sacrifices itself against the black king. Just to mention Alireza still had a few tricks in his sleeve up till the end.

#suggestion after the last known move in the database, I think it would be cool to know if the new move is the top move by the engine. It’s shows just how strong/prepared the player is and now we all further our vast knowledge of the best move. And if the player happens to not play the top move perhaps you could share why in that case. Anyone else agree?
Strongest movie by the engine depends on the computer, depht and time you let the engine analyse the position, how would Agad know this?(he probably doenst have superComputers or even if he has its not equal to those from GMs) The only thing he might say is if this is still theory or not..
@Joyraj Ghosh is right here. Agad is always keen to recognise that we are investigating humans playing chess, under time constraints; the "disgusting computer lines" are mentioned, but we are following the human game. Just to look at what computers have found, would be very boring.

Big Magnus fan and alireza has te potential to be 2800 again. But Magnus domination isnt an arguable thing, thats what some of his haters won admit or doesnt understand
If Firouzja takes the incremental increase in playing strength, typical of exceptionally strong GMs between the ages 19-22, he will clearly be the next world champion.
Am I dumb?! At 12:30 can't MVL play rook e4? It's check so Alireza has to take, and then the knight recaptures - otherwise MVL wins the rook. Am I not seeing something?
It seems to me that Alireza had to do more to defend the white pawn at B3, because he could and should resign as soon as that pawn falls. Wasn't it possible to defend it? I think it was. What do you think?
The last time Magnus was below 2800 in official ratings was October 2009. He has been 2800+ rated for more than 12 years. How crazy is that? People are so used to him being 2800 and no.1 they sometimes forget how difficult it is to actually maintain a 2800+ rating.
#suggestion Rapid chess champion Week 13 sunday knockout. Hikaru vs Demchenko game, Giri vs Maghsoodloo. And also Fedoseev vs Jumabayev. Sorry, I am not sure if this is the correct place to suggest games
I often play at 1400-1500 level and it’s pretty solid, like, you mess up once and you’re done, it’s very very hard to get back into the game. These guys play at the 2800 level almost. What Is the differentiating fact here? Someone please tell me thanks
You have 2 mistakes, 4 blunders and 8 missed wins every single game. Every. Single. Game. Your opponents have the same number of missed wins. Because you're both terrible, no one gets punished for their mistakes. When you do get punished, you lose. Or they blunder right back and you have a game again. Chess is beautiful, because even the winners are losers. You're all terrible.
The difference is that you’re not really solid at all, whereas the top players in the world play at an astounding accuracy with very minuscule inaccuracies
Actually after f5-Rd7 happened and fg6-hg6, alireza played Ra4 and i immediate thought wait g5+ wins for black now because if Kh5 then Kf6! With the threat of Rh7# and of Ra6+ after Kf6 then Ke5 and one can feel that white king is in trouble while if Kh3 after g5+ then white is never getting h4 beside black has Rd3+ pushing king even further back but okay i guess what maxime played is a risk free technique
I wonder if Magnus Carlsen has reconsidered his threat not to defend his title vs. anyone but Firouzja? The young player is very talented, but I can't say he is the top challenger yet, maybe, maybe not.
@@081_rohit8 at age 18 he did reach no1 but he was struggling to be actual number 1 player , he scored last place with minus 4 points in tata steels at age 18 . magnus became world champion only at age 23
Yes, but the problem is if black trades rook at that time, white can trade the remaining last pawn with h4-h5 which cannot be prevented. The result would be a draw.
This Elo rating system needs to reevaluated; how come Alireza, who would lose to any top players such as Wesly, Aronian, Ding, Giri, Nepo, Radjabov, Caruana in a head-to-head 10 round classical match, is ranked number 3 in the world?
Firouzja was constantly playing ‘fun openings’ it’s clear that him and other players that are playing in the candidates tournament aren’t using their best openings. He got to 2804 from 2756 because he had 3 amazing tournaments in a row in Norway Chess , Grand Swiss and European Team Chess Championship
@@sheesh6085 only jobava was 2580 the others are 2600+ grandmasters which are still super strong and the other top players like giri, Mamedyarov and grischuk in ettc didn’t score nearly as much as firouzja

If that rook trade happens, the result would be a draw as white can trade with black's remaining pawn with h4-h5 which cannot be prevented effectively.

I think I finally understand chess after this game
12:31 when he says he doesn't wanna allow any checks on the 4th rank. Isn't rook to e4 a forced rook trade ?
I had the same doubt, but if you analyze the position after the rook trade, it is drawish
Couldn't MVL have forced a rook trade at 12:31 with rook to e4? Or would it not be winning in that position?

Re4, Re4, Nxe4
