After watching the interview, kramnik said that he had this Rg8 novelty in stock for a long time and had been waiting to use this on e4 players especially carlsen and anand but was not expecting to use it on aronian who's not an e4 player especially and in the candidates but still went on with it. He said that after Kh1 by aronian he forgot his notes and remembered only Nh5 as one of his options so it's SAFE to say after Nh5 everything is ON THE BOARD CALCULATIONS.
@6:35: would have loved to see a picture of this moment in the game. Aronian grabbing Kramnik's piece and moving it for him. Unprecedented type of move. I doubt anyone's seen that before.
I need a chess player to actually do that in a game. A situation where the best/only viable move is so obvious, you just play it for your opponent. That needs to happen.
E. Z. I’ve done that before where I was losing a game and after I saw that I was going to be checkmated in a few moves, I just made the last 4 moves for my opponent.
there are so many variations on e4. so what if a0 approved of berlin defense? you don't have to play ruy lopez, rather go for italian game or scotch game or many other variations. chess is a creative game after all...
you clearly missed the point of my comment. and you're wrong, yet again. for regular players, it might be bad, but do you figure magnus or caruana or any other top ranked chess player wouldn't be able to pull off a decent game or two with it?
Grischuk and Karjakin played it today in the Candidates, and many other players have used it as an anti-Berlin. I'm not sure why you think it isn't common at the highest level.
My Godfathers. How can ANYONE do this to Aronian?! Brilliant Brillaint Brilliant! Kramnik has justified his wildcard a dozen times over this this STUNNING game. Truely Kramnik is one of the All Time Greats. Amazing.
"...and for those who just wanna enjoy the show..." Thanks for the daily reminder how bad I am at chess, excluded from the club of "excellent players" :(
amazing! This game further confirms that I am a blind man living in a world full of colors when it comes to this marvelous game. It's like these great players see a universe of possibilities that I can not even begin to fathom.
I was watching the game live during the first moves until 5 ... d x c6, but I had to get to work. I kept thinking for myself that Aronian had decided to take the risk of facing the all-powerful Berlin Defense of Kramnik, in one way or another it was going to be a great game. Recently I could only know the result of the game when I finished my work, without being able to see the game itself. I said Ok, I get home and I see the game. A few minutes later I received the notification of this video. Supreme joy for me and even more after seeing this beautiful game. Thank you, Antonio.
Hey man I just wanted to say I love your videos. You make it easy for people who are just starting out in chess to enjoy while still being engaging to better players. Keep going with your content!
This is really brilliant game.. Great preparation.. Anish giri had a twitter war of words with Carlsen... After this seems kramnik can win the tournament and challenge Carlsen for the world championship
Not THAT weak, a player less than 1800 would lose worse and in less moves than Aronian did, but it's also partly due to him playing e4 when he's traditionally a c4 player and is awful playing 1. e4
Guru H Why is he your favorite to win the Candidates? Going in he was the least likely one to win the Candidates besides Grischuk to me. He is much weaker than everyone else and has a bad score against most of the other players besides So who is still always higher rated anyway. I thought there was absolutely no chance Aronian would win the Candidates going in and now it has basically been confirmed bc players who lose this early in tournament have messed up psychology from the outset
Guru H Who said he was bad? He is extremely strong, just like every other player who has ever made a Candidates in history, I just dont think he is quite as strong as the majority of the field in the Candidates, that does not take away from how ridiculously strong he is, though. Mamedyarov has been sitting around world no. 3-4 for the past few months and has been having the best two years of his career, having finally broken 2800 and stayed there consistently for several months, Caruana and So have both been staying consistently above 2800 for a long time, Aronian has an absolutely atrocious score against Ding, even after the World CUp it's still bad, and Karjakin won the Candidates last time so he can never be written off. Aronian has played in many Candidates throughout his career, him nd Kramnik are easily the most experienced Candidates players in this Candidates yet only one of them has ever won a Candidates and Kramnik also became World Champion for several years on top of that.
Aronian was the in form player the last 6 months, how many events did he win? He was also the bookies favorite before the event, across all bookmakers. He just somehow manages to tank his performance at every candidates. Anything else and he's quality. I too thought that surely this time he will win it, still 11 games to go so let's see what happens. Kramnik looks brilliant.
Vlad not only got in Levon's kitchen but he raided his frig, cooked up some steaks, invited buddies over to watch March Madness, and dumped him out of his La-Z-Boy recliner.
What an amazing game by Vlad. Aronian just didn't see that F5 move which just ripped his position apart. Big Vlad was a wild card (it was either him or MVL). I think they chose the best player & Vlad is doing very well now. But what an amazing game, it isn't often a player like Aronian gets ripped apart in 27 moves. Great video bud. Much appreciated.
I'm rooting for Aronian, so it's tough to watch this, but then again, a game this beautiful and filled with raw power from Kramnik, the king of the Berlin, could never be uncomfortable to see. And it definitely helps that my favorite commentator is showing it
I love agadmator's analysis since he's Everyman, he's weak like the rest of us but offers Everyman comments aided by a chess engine. You can practically hear him mouthing his thoughts as he comments, while keeping the food from falling from his mouth. Good stuff, keep up the good work!!
An outstanding game, and well analysed :) However, about the opening novelty(as I saw in one of the comments), yes, Kramnik had prepared it about two years before the game and recalled some of the crucial moves. GM Yasser Seirawan also analysed this game, watch the game from a flip board view. 😊
Wow!!! This is the way great chess should be played!!! Great game by Kramnik! What a shame that f3 checkmate didn't happen though! It would've been amazing!!
#suggestion So, endgames are hugely important for all of us to learn and understand. Many games that analysts do focus on openings and middle game. But, If you do another game from this tournament, I suggest Caruana vs. Mamedyrov. Fighting endgames are so instructive and exciting because the board is open. Subtle plays are big. I loved the back and forth in this game, like a boxing match.
Hey agad, whats your comment on the crazy games that have been played just in the first 3 rounds. I mean in the London chess classic we had a lot of draws and not a lot of aggressive positions? Are we seeing more aggression since there is much more at steak if you win the candidates rather than the classic? Any comments about this
I wish Grandmasters would play these positions to checkmate. Give your opponent the satisfaction for the brilliancy he played, as well as make the sport a bit more accessible to the average viewer.
agadmator's Chess Channel i just pressed on your previous video to check it & WOW it's almost double the loudness on your previous video than this. Everything is fine on my side. Maybe RUclips then :D
agadmator's Chess Channel And as I pressed on your previous video to verify if I am wrong, at the end of this video, that trademark, *Hello everyone" literally blew my ears in a good way (High volume). Something is definitely wrong with the audio of this one. Not loud enough & shallow.
George Had but One off magics here & there aren't going to win you a world championship. Have to be super consistent over the course of the entire candidates match & the actual world championship match games. I would be surprised if aronian even wins the candidates match.
#Suggestion can you analyze Caruana and Mamedyarov's game when it finishes? Extremely sharp and entertaining. Shak turned down a draw going for the win
Big Vlad knows this is probably his last chance for a crack at the title so he is going for blood. Great game for chess, this is how you play with black. Great job with the analysis Antonio. Hopefully there is more to come. Forza Caruana!
Agadmator, just a genuine question. Could Alpha Zero have defended this? (It would never allow this position to arise, but what if it was asked to begin from this position as White? )
We still have a 'Brilliancy Prize' line & it's beautiful! Not the one played by White, but the best defense: 27.Re2! It makes it mate in 7 instead of mate in 5.
If you play 1. d4 against Kramnik, there's QGD; if you play 1. e4, there's Berlin. Maybe you should be careful with 1. c4 or 1. Nf3 as well, so what's the idea here?
Winning as Black is very important, especially for a classical player such as Kramnik. All the better if you do that against a fellow favorite. Three more wins, no loss and we have a fabulous Carlsen-Kramnik 😎
Is Aronian really pronounced the way you do? You sound more like "Arian", cutting the "on" out. Might be wrong on this one, but on other chess channels, he is always called Aronian.
#suggestion This is not a game suggestion, but rather an interface improvement suggestion. It would be amazing to have the current move displayed at the side of the board, e.g., "move 1", "move 2", "move 3"...
Kramnik deserves the brilliancy award as well as the heart of lion award if it ever existed as he appears to be the one not afraid to get into complicated positions and push for a win unlike the younger players who would rather draw a game rather than dive into complications..
@2:10, after blacks Nh5, what happens if white plays Ng5 with queen now attacking the knight? Does White have to retreat the knight back to f6 to both protect the knight and to defend h7(although im guessing that's immune since after Nxh7 black can play f6 and it now looks like whites knight on h7 is trapped. Hehe I guess whites knight doesn't really have anywhere to go from g5 either and will just have to go back to f3 after black retreats too and I guess white isn't looking for a perpetual heh. But what about f4 break before Nf3? Or is that no good and instead just weakening your own position/king?
I read somewhere before, that among past World Chess Champions, Kramnik was adjudged by one computer as having the most precise moves according to its given criteria. I forgot though the criteria of which said computer based its decision. :C
After watching the interview, kramnik said that he had this Rg8 novelty in stock for a long time and had been waiting to use this on e4 players especially carlsen and anand but was not expecting to use it on aronian who's not an e4 player especially and in the candidates but still went on with it. He said that after Kh1 by aronian he forgot his notes and remembered only Nh5 as one of his options so it's SAFE to say after Nh5 everything is ON THE BOARD CALCULATIONS.
maybe aronian's Kh1 was a way of steering away from kramnik's home preparations
Thank you :)
Wow!!
With this brilliancy , Kramnik serves notice to the field of his big presence aided by GM Giri. Look out...!
Jeff Ramos It s not an absolute novelty, there are four games with 7 ... Rg8, but at the top level, this move has not been played before.
And to think people were complaining about the selection of Kramnik as the wildcard...
Juan Cortez I still think that Mvl or Hikaru would've been better
I wouldn't say Hikaru was better, but MVL definitely should've been in there.
hehe yeah right, Kramnik is much better than them when playing well. Kramnik is ex world champion, what has MVL or Hikaru achieved?
I can’t believe anyone would complain about that.
I agree. Big Vlad has done it all and here he shows his class. 2.3/3 is not bad is it, a good wildcard choice me thinks.
I've rewatched this a couple of times, and I think this is one of my all-time favorite games!!
Facing the Berlin in Berlin against the king of the Berlin = 0-1
Caruana and Mamedyarov are still playing, and you've already finished your video on Kramnik's game. Impressive.
@6:35: would have loved to see a picture of this moment in the game. Aronian grabbing Kramnik's piece and moving it for him. Unprecedented type of move. I doubt anyone's seen that before.

How could anyone enter the Berlin as white against Kramnik?
"...and for those who just wanna enjoy the show..." Thanks for the daily reminder how bad I am at chess, excluded from the club of "excellent players" :(
i know how it feels.
Weak players unite
skill is relative
amazing! This game further confirms that I am a blind man living in a world full of colors when it comes to this marvelous game. It's like these great players see a universe of possibilities that I can not even begin to fathom.
I think if you remember that if you have an attack you should trade central pawns then the f5 move becomes easy to spot

Real bummer by Aronian, but really surprisingly energetic play by Kramnik! (Also, you put the wrong game in the description)
Aronian looks like 1200 player against Kramnik’s Berlin defence
Not THAT weak, a player less than 1800 would lose worse and in less moves than Aronian did, but it's also partly due to him playing e4 when he's traditionally a c4 player and is awful playing 1. e4

Say hello to your Brazilian subscribers! I bought the 1953 Zurich Tournament book!
Those queen - queen - rook formations are so brutal
That moment when you actually find bishop to D5 and you deliver the self brillancy prize to yourself :)
Indeed, he could have won playing any move. But he found Bd5 :)
Vlad not only got in Levon's kitchen but he raided his frig, cooked up some steaks, invited buddies over to watch March Madness, and dumped him out of his La-Z-Boy recliner.
I am coming back to this game every week.
This is just brilliant.
What an amazing game by Vlad. Aronian just didn't see that F5 move which just ripped his position apart. Big Vlad was a wild card (it was either him or MVL). I think they chose the best player & Vlad is doing very well now. But what an amazing game, it isn't often a player like Aronian gets ripped apart in 27 moves. Great video bud. Much appreciated.
This is why Giri is Kramnik's second; so Kramnik can play for wins. If he doesn't like his position, he has Giri's analysis to bail out for a draw :p
it shows how much giri is changed after 2016 (14 draws) to fighting chess(tata steel) !!!
So proud of myself for finding Bd5. I wouldn't have found it if I didn't know there was a move like this, but I'm still happy nonetheless.
I'm rooting for Aronian, so it's tough to watch this, but then again, a game this beautiful and filled with raw power from Kramnik, the king of the Berlin, could never be uncomfortable to see. And it definitely helps that my favorite commentator is showing it

Ist time to see aronian when he used to push the e pawn for 1st move!
Very well played by Vlad!
Thank you agadmater for such as nice analysis.
Thanks for the Chess Agadmator! It’s super coolio!
Please do video on Kramniks Belin defense against Kasparov.
An outstanding game, and well analysed :)
However, about the opening novelty(as I saw in one of the comments), yes, Kramnik had prepared it about two years before the game and recalled some of the crucial moves.

Really enjoyed the quote as I started calisthenics and enjoying watching body building on yt
Fantastic game by Kramnik! I think this will be the Game of the Year!
okay no kidding I found all the moves agad asked us to find and that too in just a minute am i a genius or what
If you aren't an e4 player why would you allow kramnik the Berlin? That is what I would say was Aronians biggest mistake in this game.
Or at least play the Italian and avoid the Ruy Lopez
This is brutal
Hi Tony
Very nice game with and excellent lecture 👍👍👍

Hi, still new to the game, but really enjoying it. One question : at 5:22 why couldn't he just capture with the pawn ?

I wish Grandmasters would play these positions to checkmate. Give your opponent the satisfaction for the brilliancy he played, as well as make the sport a bit more accessible to the average viewer.
Resignation gives a lot of satisfaction though
I think Gelfand does in some cases

Low the audio on this one might be, but strong the force is.
Guepardo Guepárdez agreed but it would have been much more enjoyable if it was as usual 👍🏼
Hey, agadmator who do you think out of the candidates would give Carlsen the most trouble?
Fabiano Caruana might be able to beat Carlsen
George Had Lol Nope. Vladimir Kramnik !
George Had but One off magics here & there aren't going to win you a world championship. Have to be super consistent over the course of the entire candidates match & the actual world championship match games. I would be surprised if aronian even wins the candidates match.
What about Shakriyar Mamedyarov's games??? Share them too
Fantastic use of the Berlin and open files.
Just wondering, could u post this game I played? I know it's more of a 1450 fide rated game but it's a bit interesting. The event was called the Warwickshire chess championship under 110, in England.

Kramnik .....Rg8 move is the best one and the most unexpected move of this game. This move surprised me a lot and probably surprised Aronian also....
If you think about it, Rg8 is obvious...h3 creates a target, Rg8 prepares the ram 😉
#Suggestion can you analyze Caruana and Mamedyarov's game when it finishes? Extremely sharp and entertaining. Shak turned down a draw going for the win
Big Vlad knows this is probably his last chance for a crack at the title so he is going for blood. Great game for chess, this is how you play with black. Great job with the analysis Antonio. Hopefully there is more to come. Forza Caruana!
Agadmator, just a genuine question. Could Alpha Zero have defended this? (It would never allow this position to arise, but what if it was asked to begin from this position as White? )
no assuming kramnik played correctly and we are going from where aronian play qa3(or qa4 i forget)
A very beautiful game. I'm starting to think that Big Vlad will end up challenging Dr. Drunkenstein for the World Chess Championship of 2018.
Hey ... please do a review of Victor Ciocaltea vs Robert James Fischer a game from 1962 !
We still have a 'Brilliancy Prize' line & it's beautiful! Not the one played by White, but the best defense: 27.Re2! It makes it mate in 7 instead of mate in 5.
Very good analysis. I only have one gripe. When Black wins it would be much better if the board was shown from the Black side.
Hello antony what job u had before making youtube videos hope u tell us next video
Marketing/graphic design
Sound is crappy in this video. What happened ??
YES! I've been rooting for Kramnik since he was picked for the tournament.
If you play 1. d4 against Kramnik, there's QGD; if you play 1. e4, there's Berlin. Maybe you should be careful with 1. c4 or 1. Nf3 as well, so what's the idea here?
@agadmator what do you think of the twitter feud between Magnus and Anish?
Is there a place we can watch the games live ?
I found the move, but it was intuitive I knew it was winning but didn’t see how. amazing game.
Winning as Black is very important, especially for a classical player such as Kramnik. All the better if you do that against a fellow favorite. Three more wins, no loss and we have a fabulous Carlsen-Kramnik 😎
Kramnik beats Levon in aronian style!
@09:30 why not Qh2? What am I missing as this seems like check mate...?
What is the quickest victory in candidates tournaments?
Is Aronian really pronounced the way you do? You sound more like "Arian", cutting the "on" out.
Might be wrong on this one, but on other chess channels, he is always called Aronian.
So... what was played in the game, Nc3 or c3?
#suggestion This is not a game suggestion, but rather an interface improvement suggestion. It would be amazing to have the current move displayed at the side of the board, e.g., "move 1", "move 2", "move 3"...
3:26 why can't the knight capture on g4 ?
Tal style ...knight take pawn + best move ... Bravo
Those pawns side by side on his third rank? That is amazing. Positional and tactical are the same thing there.
Does every immortal happen against Aronian?
#اللهم_صل وليس صلي والله أعلم بلأخير وجزاكم الله كل خير يارب.....
Kramnik unpacks his Berlin novelty in Berlin. Crazy coincidence. ;)
plz do a video on kramnik vs kasparov
Queen to e2 instead of c1 and knight to d2 instead of a3.
Another rook could have got a chance to enter the game, silly at this level??
Unreal game i though still think Anands massacre vs Aronian 2013 tata steel was more impressive then this one.
I think it was Wijk Aan Zee
hey agadmator, when will you go and challenge Wilson the hustler? ;)
Kramnik deserves the brilliancy award as well as the heart of lion award if it ever existed as he appears to be the one not afraid to get into complicated positions and push for a win unlike the younger players who would rather draw a game rather than dive into complications..
