Very stylish. The problem for us mortals is knowing when to ratchet up the attack and when to cash in. Many games are lost by getting that timing wrong.
It's like Fischer said about chess: "Chess is a matter of delicate judgment, knowing when to punch and how to duck. I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good chess."
@@Reptar4000 No offence intended. The word "immortal" is quite frequently used in a chess context. I should have said "those of us who are not super grandmasters".
When Wei Yi does it, he's sacrificing in the style of the old masters. When I do it, I'm throwing a piece out the window. It's what comes after the sacrifice that makes all the difference.
Well, there's your problem. Close that window. And when you try to throw the piece, it will just bounce harmlessly off the glass, and you can pick it up and put it back on the board.
@@nkululekonkush3403 indeed, we mortals love Mike Tayson chess style. If one aims to watch perfect chess, then one must go and watch computer chess games. We want blood all over the board
Wei Yi played like No reverse gear Rashid🥵 I winder hiw would the old masters like Tal, Morphy, Anderson, Alekhine would play in this engine dominant era. Pure sorcery
Wei style's is so great, always delivering funny games where he just throws moves that would look like blunders in a low elo game, but are actually crazy good moves
His name is golden even in Chinese. I was watching this tournament with a friend and I said ‘ju wenjun is the only girl in this tournament’, and because ‘wei yi’ is pronounced the same as ‘only’ in Chinese, the sentence sound exactly the same as ‘ju wenjun is wei yi’s girl’. Also in a post game interview ju wenjun said she went out for food with wei yi on a rest day. So my friend was laughing out hard at that pun haha
When you begin learning chess you go back and study the game of the great masters. This reminds me of some of the game I would go over from Marshall. He would do astounding piece sacrifices that as a beginner you could never imagine and turning the game into a crushing win. This is that kind of brilliance that leaves the common player sitting in awe. Thank you for this game. Something that will be a timeless masterpiece. This is what draws you in to want to play chess.
Wei is 5-6 years back was a world champ material.. he was 2700 rated at just 15 years of age .. hope the talent doesn't go wasted nd we see him doing some wonders in the future
my favorite part of this game is that it totally goes against one of the first principles you learn - if your opponents king is in the center of the board, advance your central pawns and blow up the center. somehow, wei yi advances his own pawns and blows up the center while his king is still in the center of the board!
Watching this live, the clock situation was a huge factor in this game. They were both below 20 minutes at move 15 and 10 at move 18, absolutely nailbiting. Max really lost this game on time, he played the last 10 moves on increment.
Great Game great attack getting those pawns up the board really gave Wei Yi a big advantage lovely offense all initiated from Max’s attack with bishop and knight on f2 great strategy not reacting or trying to defend just push his pawns 😊
"The engine is recommending bishop G1, but let's be reasonable here" is a fantastic description of how to think about engine analysis if you're less than 2400 rating.
I want to know how Agadmator chooses which lines to show. I was watching the live telecast of the game and commentators showed many many interesting lines that were not shown by agadmator. I can understand showing every line would cause the video to get too long. But this is the nth time I felt like agadmator didn't show many cool lines and that's why I am frustrated. Anyways this analysis video is amazing in itself. I just recommend whoever is reading my comment to watch the live telecast too if possible.
They are but they don't get the invites as often as they should. Like Wei YI. Wang Hao. Yu Yangyi. Bu Xiangzhi. And Ding. I think that is their strongest 5 players and Olympiad winning team.
When a knight makes so many moves to capture a rook in the corner, and can't extricate himself, it's likely that the material advantage will be negated by poor development.

Facts
It's like Fischer said about chess: "Chess is a matter of delicate judgment, knowing when to punch and how to duck. I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good chess."
Clearly you've been watching some of my games. ;)
Crazy referring to other human beings as not mortal
@@Reptar4000 No offence intended. The word "immortal" is quite frequently used in a chess context. I should have said "those of us who are not super grandmasters".
This is the definition of true sorcery. No fear just pure mastery.
When Wei Yi does it, he's sacrificing in the style of the old masters. When I do it, I'm throwing a piece out the window. It's what comes after the sacrifice that makes all the difference.
Well, there's your problem. Close that window. And when you try to throw the piece, it will just bounce harmlessly off the glass, and you can pick it up and put it back on the board.
@@davidanderson_surrey_bc If you close the windows, then Alireza will steal it. :)
Try throwing your opponents pieces out the window (maybe when they’re not looking). I find it boosts your chances more than chucking your own pieces.
Isn't this immortal territory? This is beyond words, wow
Bro decided to play the entire game in his head first; Max actually thought he had some chance after the 50 minutes!!!! lmao
I haven't seen such a complicated and artsy middle game for a while. Love it, ty!
8:56 It's wei cooler to play Kb1 first.
A better pun: it’s wei yisier to play kb1
This broke my brain. Absolutely amazing!
😂😂😂
this game is absolutely brutal… wei yei deserves invitations to every major tournament
Wei Yi,Alireza and Gukesh...all 3 don't play for draws even if the position is equal 😅😂😂
@@nkululekonkush3403 indeed, we mortals love Mike Tayson chess style. If one aims to watch perfect chess, then one must go and watch computer chess games. We want blood all over the board
@@nkululekonkush3403 and hans gukesh is not as attacking i love alireza, wei yi and hans neiman. best players to watch other than magnus
I never comment. I've never even viewed the comments here before....Bravo, Mr. Yi. This game will never be lost in the sands of time.......
One of the best games I've ever seen. Wei Yi, my goodness. Incredible.
"The engine here recommends Bg1 but lets be reasonable here" made me almost spit coffee out my nose 😂
Alternate title: Most interesting game of 2024.
So far :)
Even in this tournament, ju wenjun against alireza endgame come to mind as equally exciting
Wei Yi said that it was the most interesting game of the last 5 years. Haha.
@@ex0duzz Didn't know that! Thanks for letting us know.
Sorry, only Kramnik can award that title
Wei Yi played like No reverse gear Rashid🥵 I winder hiw would the old masters like Tal, Morphy, Anderson, Alekhine would play in this engine dominant era. Pure sorcery
Wei style's is so great, always delivering funny games where he just throws moves that would look like blunders in a low elo game, but are actually crazy good moves
I saw Caruana's tweet about this game yesterday and awaited your analysis video, so I could understand the game.
Brutal from Wei Yi
Is this the Wei Yi Immortal? I would say it is definitely worth considering!
Oh I posted something similar but I'd not seen your earlier comment. I think it really is an immortal
he already has an immortal vs. bruzon
I really enjoy Wei Yi's style and his name is a lot of fun to say as well. Thanks Agad
ding's transliteration is still king. even though he is a matchfixed world champion.
His name is golden even in Chinese. I was watching this tournament with a friend and I said ‘ju wenjun is the only girl in this tournament’, and because ‘wei yi’ is pronounced the same as ‘only’ in Chinese, the sentence sound exactly the same as ‘ju wenjun is wei yi’s girl’. Also in a post game interview ju wenjun said she went out for food with wei yi on a rest day. So my friend was laughing out hard at that pun haha
Antonio is a legend of chess commentary, and deserves to be invited to commentate the Candidates Tournament
Is this satire?
I think you need to be GM level to be invited to commentate there
I love Max but i love wei yi more😂😂😂
@@edwardtang3585 it’s not true, I remember WGMs and WIMs commenting in the fide channel for previous candidates
I agree!!!
Wei Yi's immortal game. What a classic!
If you haven’t watched the actual immortal game of wei yi you should do yourself a favour and watch it now
Wei Yi says Nope, Here's the Pain.
this is one of the craziest games ever. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks for it! 🙂
Awesome game, probably best game of the tournament.
Brave exciting chess from Wei Yi.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Just incredible. Shades of Tal, but different.
3:33 "Let's be reasonable here" 😂😂😂
What a tactical yet positional chaos I must say, couldn't calculate at all, couldn't even find the pause the video moment, such a genius!!
What an immortal game! Thanks for sharing this! It definitely deserves a better caption, I would’ve missed this beauty.
Looks like a game from 1824 instead of 2024
I have an OTB tournament soon and this is a powerful lesson I needed to learn as I can be overly attached to material sometimes!
The C in the bottom corner when Wei yi plays stands for CHAOS.
I see wei yi on the thumbnail, I already know its a banger. Thanks Agad!
It's the tournament games I've ever seen, this tata steel 2024 is something else
#suggestion would love to see any Wei Yi vs Rapport game. wondering how much chaos do both of them can have
One of the greatest games ever
This is pure chess violence .

Wei Yi is a complete maniac. This game made my head hurt.
One of my favorite games you ever covered, take a bow for this one Antonio.
Thinking 28 possible manouvre in advance for 48 minutes is giving you head pains.
Wei is 5-6 years back was a world champ material.. he was 2700 rated at just 15 years of age .. hope the talent doesn't go wasted nd we see him doing some wonders in the future
He went to uni and just graduated. Now it’s his comeback! 24 years old is too young to stagnate
Wow..this game is a Thriller..
Kudos to Wei Yi
my favorite part of this game is that it totally goes against one of the first principles you learn - if your opponents king is in the center of the board, advance your central pawns and blow up the center. somehow, wei yi advances his own pawns and blows up the center while his king is still in the center of the board!
Thanks for showing what's really important and fun
#suggestion should have labelled it as wei yi's immortal.... actually more like mythical or legendary
Except that he already had an immortal. Watch it if you haven’t
Watching this live, the clock situation was a huge factor in this game. They were both below 20 minutes at move 15 and 10 at move 18, absolutely nailbiting. Max really lost this game on time, he played the last 10 moves on increment.
And wei yi is actually world top players (top5?) in rapid time control
#suggestion Parham vs Vidit was amazing too
"Wei Yi just doesn't care." that's chess
As a humble 1500 I can't imagine thinking for 48 minutes on one move. I'd run out of things to consider.
I swear on my MCO I saw Kb1 but for the totally wrong reason haha. What a great game.
Yi impressive tournament.
This was so confusing donno how they think of these moves . These GMs are not normal people 😮
wow what a game..
Great Game great attack getting those pawns up the board really gave Wei Yi a big advantage lovely offense all initiated from Max’s attack with bishop and knight on f2 great strategy not reacting or trying to defend just push his pawns 😊
my head hurts
A masterpiece this game...❤
what a game
Game of the decade so far
Thank you. Another incredible game.
It was so cool that im watching this for second time already.... 🎉 What a game by Yi
Cool ty
What a game.
Wow Yi 🎉🎉🎉😅
Brutal❤️🔥🔥
“Mind over Matter” - great principle for life!
"The engine is recommending bishop G1, but let's be reasonable here" is a fantastic description of how to think about engine analysis if you're less than 2400 rating.
Wow, what a game 🎯
Excellent play by Wei Yi
No Wei! I can't believe this game
Master piece
Brutal !
#suggestion Wei Yi vs Nepo
what a game !
“Hoping he takes some material”🎉 Wei Yi is no “ push it”😂😂😂
Crazy crazy lines ...
This wei yi guy is amazing
Bruh ! I refuse to accept that even We Yi was able to find that king move.
what a game. Wow.
My brain exploded
It is admirable how the comments in this video are all kind at heart. No haters in the comment section
I want to know how Agadmator chooses which lines to show. I was watching the live telecast of the game and commentators showed many many interesting lines that were not shown by agadmator. I can understand showing every line would cause the video to get too long. But this is the nth time I felt like agadmator didn't show many cool lines and that's why I am frustrated.

Wonderful!
WEI IN COLD BLOOD PLAYS PAWN TO ..😀
wow such a nice game
Love Wei Yi
Great game.
The way Antonio pronounces "ajedrez" is fun but actually cool, kind of an argentinian accent
7:37, after black knight move, what about bishop to b3? Disconecting rook from queen , seems interesting to me
Wei Yi is crazy lol
Man, just gotta love chess. That's it.
It’s all about sacrifice!
What a game !!!
Adag: the engine is saying G1 here, but let's be reasonable.😂😂😂
china has many super GM but unfortunately they are not that active
They are but they don't get the invites as often as they should. Like Wei YI. Wang Hao. Yu Yangyi. Bu Xiangzhi. And Ding. I think that is their strongest 5 players and Olympiad winning team.
Insanely refreshing :)
so which is the new move?
When a knight makes so many moves to capture a rook in the corner, and can't extricate himself, it's likely that the material advantage will be negated by poor development.
#suggestion Anish Giri vs Magnus Carlsen 2011 Tata Steel
So many many lines 2 many I havent even watched the ending of the last 5 videos and have no idea who won.
Where is Mr Barns head !:)
Warnerdam looks like a charming VAMPIRE PRINCE.
The bravest Bishop in Chess history! It is more valuable than a queen, even more than two black rooks.
