"And now Magnus is winning even though it's not clear why" lol, yeah, everybody else is always puzzled but eventually you'll come to the conclusion that the answer simply is "because he is Magnus"
Chess is so consistent with Magnus, I love it, it really shows the incredible skill difference. Curious, are there any other sports where a winner beats someone else so consistently? I'm thinking arm Wrestling maybe?
@@Shiba_George That comparison would imply Magnus ducks Fabi, Hikaru, Arjun, Alireza. Takes up matches with low 2700s and declares himself the best because he never loses to them. Also, he pokes his opponents in the eye after every 5 moves.

Arjun is near 2700 in Rapid, the Elo difference as you can see on the side is more than 100. Try to look at what is happening before giving dumb opinions.
Such righteous indignation over what? Did anyone get injured in this situation. Please, for your own health and the health of those around you, please relax and don't sweat the small stuff (and yes, most of life's frustration are over small stuff).
Ya i noticed the same. Ofcourse i have seen the black king in the center with that pawn structure many times before, but to have a sort of a dragon bishop in there is pretty new for me.
Hello agadmator,Just wanted to say i paired up with you in a bullet game 2 hours ago I was black and i played caro-kann you attacked me in the king side with the queen bishop battey but you flagged at the end just wanted to say good games and a was so hyped and nevrous to play just happed out of nowhere.
Don't forget that Magnus's highest classical rating is 2882, yes he's 2831 now but that's because he's not really interested by ratings nowadays, if he was to really focus on his classical rating no doubt he will be at least 2860+, but that would be exhausting for him without much of a reward which is why he's not going for it
Lol no. It doesn't work like that. He can't be 2860 if there are no 2800 players to play against. And as Magnus himself said, the FIDE ratings have deflated in recent years so today's 2830 is more like 2850 from a few years back
@@yassinesafraoui yes you are also kind of right. If he was playing more classical against top players he would be higher right now. When he reached 2882 he was motivated by his goal of reaching 3000 but slowly he realised it's impossible so now he doesn't care much about ratings as long as he has a decent gap with the number 2.
@@devansh5562Yes I agree iirc there were around 5-6 super gms over 2800 around that time. Now it’s almost impossible to reach 2900 but can def happen in the near future
Arjun might be better off just playing solidly with a bit of defense instead of his usual aggressive style play especially against a player of Magnus’s caliber Thanks for the Game enjoy your day Agadmator
#suggestion - Yo Agadmator! Hope you're doing fine frined. At some point - would you like to cover Laster vs Ralph Gahtan from 1975? There is a brilliant sequence of moves that ends the game with an explosion (no spoilers for the people in the comments), generally a good vintage game to cover :D
Why in almost every video does he say "sorry about that" and reach to do something. Is there a noise I can't hear he's turning off? It's in almost every video and I now admit I have no clue what's going on and it's driving me crazy.
12:13 Now, i did notice, and i would pay 3 to 1 if Arjun did not notice the move that would cost him the game, the move that scared him the most. As i would pay 8 to 1 if the key moment that Magnus hinged upon was not, that same move, as he obviously had prepated this. Failing that, i'd pay 16 to 1 if Magnus was winging it, but knew that he would probably win this game, after the move. 14..Bxg2 Advantage Carlsen! Checkers alert on Whites kingside!
Because after Kb1 you can’t recapture on d5 with the bishop due to Rc1 winning the rook on c8, so you’d have to recapture with the pawn which is bad for black.
at 3:24 , the logical and the most obvious move is f3 which arjun was supposed to play. reason he didnt play it he wanted imbalances in the position so that he could out calculate magnus. intuition triumphs over intellect in shorter time controls. man the reason im most disappointed by is tomorrow magnus will beat nodirbek and it'd all be over... no competition whatsoever... prediction : magnus wins the blitz section with 2 points lead ;)
Potentially matchups should be in classical not in rapid or blitz. Arjun rated 2750 in blitz.. people in comments don't know they are playing Rapid & Blitz
Three Indian super GMs at the bottom. Not what Indian supporters would like. But you win some you lose some and you lose more often than not when your opponent is the great Magnus.
Magnus simply is the best. Shame that there is no young Bobby Fischer around to challenge him. In the end, my bet would be on Bobby being trained by modern computers, but it is very unclear.
@@guptayush179 where did he win 2 games in a row...what is your rating and id, where you play? Because castling queen side is a commin feature in sharp sicilian for imbalances.
It's a proper time for Magnus to start compete in Fischer random. We know already that he is no.1 in classic chess. Now its a moment to prove that he can conquer on non theoretical ground.
tomorrow , Magnus is going to be way ahead and the rest will be gasping for breath trying to win the second place... if Magnus is in the right form , he is untouchable..
Yup when I said Arjun is good all other Indian players r great too .But during the Olympiad just after speed chess championship where magnus won ,I commented that magnus is not taking Olympiad seriously when magnus lost 😂😂😂. And then I was jumped by all those salty Indian kids 😂😂😂. And I gave them the proper reasons that magnus team is not that good except for him and tari .He has no prep at all which is required for classical .And he is most likely not even willing to play and was just coming after the speed chess championship so not in right state of mind.Also he willingly left the world champion status becoz he doesn't like all classical formats . And as u expect from Indian kids they started arguing abt it 😂😂😂.Like magnus is noone 😂😂😂
None of the Indian prodogies are that great at faster controls. They are strong at classical controls, when they whopped all in Olympiads and Gukesh challenging for WC match. Got it Einstrin? 😂
Lets be honest - Arjun is a strong player but the tournaments he was involved in the past where he gained lot of elos were against not as strong players like this one. He has a bright future but still lot to prove.
@@renishisrael9520 yeah, he is not 40 yr old, his journey has just started. Very talented youngster and I believe he will prove himself in the future. We need to give time to these youngsters, they need to perform at top level at least for few years before anyone talks about comparisons. Alireza, Arjun, Gukesh, Nodirbek, Keymar, Prag, etc., all have great potential to be top players in classical chess and maybe someday world champions.
Coming out to prove why he's still No. 1
Dude everyone knows he is a prodigy, born to play chess. 😊
Prove to who
Dude! Spoiler!!
He has Notting to prove everyone knows he is way ahead of everyone by a very large margin
Play Tainanov Sicilian with a black peaces with King in the centar against 2800 is nuts and yes he also won i mean😂

Yes that was my thought also - Magnus excels in particular at rapid, whereas Arjun does not.
he generally gets a slow start, and then he clears the field the next games
Just like the old Morphy matches. It's almost as if they are an AI learning and then getting stronger.
I love how Magnus has that fianchetto style set up in the middle of the board. Never seen that before

Kasparov said the world championship ended with Magnus and now it is just a fide competition 🧐🧐🧐 I'm beginning to understand why

Advantage Carlsen! Checkers alert on Whites kingside!
Why not ....Qxc2+ after Nxd5 (instead Bxd5). You are also winning the bishop on e2.
There are levels to this shii .
@3:33 If the white N captures why not Qxc2+?
Because after Kb1 you can’t recapture on d5 with the bishop due to Rc1 winning the rook on c8, so you’d have to recapture with the pawn which is bad for black.
i request some game with dubov it as been a while!
3:35 why not Qxc2+???
One of the more interesting games I have seen.
“You can beat other players and get close to Magnus in rating… But, that’s not quite the same as playing Magnus himself!” - Agadmator, 2024
at 3:38, why didn't Magnus take on c2 first, and after Ka1 Bxd5? What am I missing?
Looks like Rc1 is winning.
@@ubertoaster99 yup, that's what I missed
#suggestion :: Fawzy, Adham vs Loay, Sameer ..Round 7 Arab Chess Championships 2024
This was rapid though. The big clash for these two needs to be in classical.

I want to see Arjun and Magnus play a classical game!
Whatever happened to Shaun Wilcoxen?
before Magnus capture the knight on d4 i did it several times
"You can see audience in the back, both of them..." Incomplete quote might be quite misleading.
3:37, why not snatching a pawn with Queen before recapturing the knight?
After king moves to A1, black will have to worry about Rc1 winning the rook

its always great when the goat proves again why him have 2800

no competition whatsoever...

"You can beat other players and get close to Magnus in rating but that is not same as playing against Magnus himself"
after black nd5 and white captured the knight why magnus dont go for qc2+ first and wins a pawn before capture the knight

its winter ,the farming stopped
