When I was in primary school, I was in a chess team with Thomas. We went on to become champions of Apeldoorn and also played for the national title. Thomas was board 1 (ofcourse) and won all his games. Sadly, me and the other teammates couldn't win as much so no national title for us. We knew Thomas was gonna make it far and to see him being analysed by Agadmator warms my heart. Congrats Thomas! Can't wait for you to become GM!
I was following the game in the sports hall, Eline was in time trouble and she had to find very precise unique moves, the position vas very tricky. After resigning she felt completely destroyed, because she knew she had a won position, her face was a poem. Tough defeats that hurt too much when you are a 16 yo player. I hope she recovers from that loss, still lots of games to be played in this Tata Steel Chess Championship.
Heartbreaking how she was ahead the entire game but couldn’t find the crucial king move. Very proud of her for playing that thrilling line. We don’t get to see these lines where both queens are out gobbling up pieces in a wide open game very often in top level chess. Great game to cover Agad! That was fun.

Threatening all sorts of nasty discoveries but now look at this. Bisherrrrrp to b4 and captures captures captures. But just Queen to b4 and now look at this. So what do you play? You may as well resign as there is nothing more to do. Why do you resign? Because there is nothing more to be done. So yahh that's the game and so yahh it was quite the game. Do have an excellent rest of your day.
Reminds me of the saying by Johan Cruyff (talking about classic Italian football): ''Ze kunnen niet van je winnen, maar je kan er wel van verliezen.' - ''You can't lose against them, but they sure can beat you'' Eline found wonderful moves, but the downside of attacking chess became visible. The incredible complications sometimes take too much time to calculate and every inaccuracy can turn the whole game around.
Let's not sleep on Thomas. If one inaccuracy was enough to give him back the game, it's because he did an amazing job at making it tricky for Eline. Overall a great, entertaining game by both.
@@jx14aby You also have to respect Beerdsen for fighting on and on under such a barrage, making it as hard as possible for Eline, so much that one inaccuracy by her was enough to give him the game back.
I love to watch matches which proceed with the 4th or 5th most played lines. These require calculations at a very early stage and the pieces are the most random over the board.
In 3:15 you say that black has 2 pieces for the rook - in fact white has a rook for the bishop. Yes, black is up 2 pawns, but pawn structure is not great. With white being so much up in development it seems that white is much better in this position, if not winning, I don't know the evaluation though.
Mr. Beerdsen also had a completely lost position against Supi, but managed to even the game and almost win. It ended in a draw tho. A player to be respected.
Sorry for Eline, it is bad to lose a game after being ahead all the time and I also like to see a woman succeeding. Thomas deserves victory, he fought fiercely and won this beatiful, thrilling game!
Wow, fantastic game. In the alternate line at 9:35, I'm not seeing why ...Bd6, Rg1 is resignable for Black, when she can interpose with her B at f8 - so Rg1, Rd8; Rg8+, Bf8 (or Rxd6, Rxe1+). Which is not to say the line she chose with Bxf6 isn't superior. Also worth noting, at 8:00 Black is threatening not merely "all sorts of discovered checks", but quite specifically the excruciating Rc1 double check and mate!!😅
Can't say how many times I played against the French with my pop (over the board expert/postal master) over our fifty years, but I can say I never saw the position at move 10. If I did, I would have given up 1. e4 forever against him even though I never cared for 1. d4 Thanks 'Gator.
Converting a winning position, especially under pressure of a world watching over your shoulder, is a skill that often shows the difference between a talent and a maturing master. Thomas clearly is a bit further on the road to maturity, but needs to re-think his opening choices if he wants to move into GM elite territory. This game should not have lasted more than 25 moves with 0-1 as a result, but was big fun to watch from beginning to end.
@@goodworld8654 Why did you pose this question here? It has absolutely nothing to do with the comment. And yes, I too have been wondering about Medo's absence. What's going on there?
Hello Antonio, big fan here, thanks for those games! I would say at 14:46 White is better, though. Black is up 2 pawns, but one is doubled and black has 3 pawn islands, where white has 2 and has the 2 rooks. (and also 5 minor pieces, guess you miscounted)
Great game, I could see some winning moves for her if she sacrificed her rook for the pawn in front of his King, rather than taking the knight. Would of been a very interesting line. Because his King would take the rook. She would then check with her other Rook on the back rank. I can’t see if she then moved the Queen how he could stop checkmate the next move.
It is this chess presenter whose non-stop delivery that has made my head spins. Imagine reading a page without paragraphing, without full stops, with commas, without semi-colons. Bye, I am running away quick smart. But
Eline is very entertaining and very attacking player. I've became fan of her games after just watching 2 games. Agad please share some games of her. She look fearless and very offensive. Kind of like dubov
2nd comment: Notice how both agadmator and Gothamchess don't cover Wesley So games in Tata Steel? I mean besides Nodirbek and Anish, Wesley is the only other player currently ahead of Magnus. #suggestion
Wow I thought Black was going to take this the moves you showed had she played those moves she would’ve won Great comeback by White surviving the onslaught and coming back with a masterful counterattack this game definitely shows it can be done in Chess when the chips are down with Good Play a person can comeback and win Great Game Thanks Antonio
After Bishop takes Queen on h6, black doesn't have "two pieces for a Rook." It's White that's up the exchange. Rook v. Bishop and two pawns, where there are three pawn islands.
@@silencionomus agreed I hate how people say she only lost cause of time or whatever, it was also him defending well which made it difficult for her to keep the attack going! Both played very well and should be praised for their performance.
6:26 "this is of course unplayable" my 700 Elo ass confidently going to end games 4 pieces short and with the most horrible position imaginable for the remaining pieces
Since you usually care about pronounciation, the Dutch pronounciation of Eline's name would be "Elin E", with the second E sounding the same as the first, "Rubersh".
@@cvdster Well I think if someone who isn't Dutch pronounces it like that the U sounds too strong, maybe Elineh would be better? At least that's how it sounds to me when I hear it.
In that nearly unavoidable hypothetical checkmate situation (6:05) it has been overlooked that white can simply take black's black bishop with his own one! Makes that whole analysis invalid!
With all the youngsters coming through pounding out these wins, I really don't know what the point is of backing any of these 20- and 30-somethings anymore... ;)

Spectacular game of both. My head was certainly spinning!
Incredible game, fantastic tournament so far. Eline is everybody’s favorite underdog by now!
Still very proud of Eline. So many best moves found, you will get there I am sure.
3:02 Black is up 2 pawns but he's losing by an exchange (has only 1 piece for the rook, not 2)

Threatening all sorts of nasty discoveries but now look at this. Bisherrrrrp to b4 and captures captures captures. But just Queen to b4 and now look at this. So what do you play?

2:04 in 11th move, Stockfish responds with Be3, following Agadmator's logic.
Those kids are incredible !!!
At 3:10 he says Black has two pieces for the rook, but by my count it's only one piece (= White is up the exchange).
Sorry for Eline, it is bad to lose a game after being ahead all the time and I also like to see a woman succeeding. Thomas deserves victory, he fought fiercely and won this beatiful, thrilling game!
3:13 - up one piece + 2 pawns / for / the rook + exchange
All sorts of nasty discoveries if you go through my browser history

You can't, if bishop takes then rook to B1 is mate

If we play knight to 3 block Queen or bishop to 3
