Little fun fact: Since it is so light outside during the night in Norway with the sun rising at 4 in the morning, Wesley So and his mother has been creating a pillow and blanket fortress in front of the windows in their room. Anand also had trouble sleeping. Levon Aronian, however, said he could sleep anywhere anytime.
Nothing better than waking up on a Saturday, cooking up some potatoes and eggs, brewing a pot of coffee, and watching some of Agadmator's chess coverage while wolfing it all down.
"The glass is empty, I forgot to fill it... Silly me." How can you not love this guy 😂 I have followed a lot of these videos, and the originality and trueness to oneself through these comments really make me laugh all the time 💗

I used to be in the chess club in high school but then only played on and off the past couple years. However, your channel has rekindled my inner chess geek again and I am playing a lot more. Keep up the good job.
Thanks for covering the tournament! I tried watching the official stream and some other youtuber for more games but wasn't enjoying it as much. This channel is great.
"You can see there are a lot of Knights there in the center of the board and, you know, neither Fabi nor Carlsen are interested in developing their other pieces.". 🏆
I only hope that the classical format of chess is not forgotten. Rapid, blitz, armageddon are a different game than classical chess. Changing the rules of a game can really take its toll. Like taking body checks and fighting out of hockey...not the same game anymore. Please preserve and promote classical chess...hundreds of years should be cherished, not tampered with, or forgotten. cheers!
I really hope Armageddon is not the future of classical chess. Yeah it gets more exciting games and less cases of 12 draws out of 12 games, but it's like sending a football game to penalties if there's a draw in half time - it's good drama, but bad football/chess, if it can even be called that. And being a better Armageddon player would actually encourage players to go for a draw in the classical(and since draws can "win" Armageddon, "draw specielists" will probably have an even larger advantage). Rapid and Bullet are great games on their own, but Classical should stay as classical as possible. If Armageddon is used as a tie breaker, it should be considered as a fraction of a point, so that advantage is only counted in cases of tie breakers in the classical games(In this tournament, Carlsen would have 5.5+0.06, while Ding would have 5.5+0, so the would have been one after the other in the table, but Carlsen still leading).
@@nischay4760 Hi I was thinking king b5 instead of king b7 but if king b5 than pawn c4 CHECK :) than d4 captures c4 than rook captures rook and pawn on c3 captures rook on d2
I like that tournaments are decided in more than one time format as long as the chess championship stays a mostly classical only (Sure for the tie breaks other formats are fine)
8:10 why do you want to trade the bishop for the knight? Is it because as you said it's gonna be weak or is that considered a closed position where knight > bishop?
Coughs, Don't have my water ready, the glass is empty, I forgot to refill it, you know, silly me, haha!!! That made me laugh after all those videos you expect him to take a sip of water or whisky or something :) I'm an excellent end game player only on Saturday's! :)
I think the armageddon format is just bad! There are blitz tournaments and there are classical tournaments. If a game ends in a draw, it's a draw. First you get 0,5 points from a great 3-4 hour game and then you can get twice as much for holding a draw with the black pieces in a blitz game. the armageddon is just way too decisive in my opinion and I have a feeling lots of the players have the same feeling (at least Ding)
Same goes to me. Fabi normally chokes against Carlsen in Blitz. But in deed he delivered a great game & Magnus didnt play that well in the armageddon round.
"I won't tell you whether this is classical or Armageddon" is in *second place*
"Capablanca didn't know any opening theory" , is still on top

😂😂
10:42 Magnus is so strong that he plays both with black and white pieces.
Yeah, and this time he decided to win with the white pieces
You gave me giggles
LOL!! That's why I read the comments
According to Magnus, the best way to improve at chess is to sit at the board and play with yourself

in classical he still is ... but he lost in blitz many times this year .. 2 against mvl for instance ..

I see, Emir Zecic (aka Pablo Escobar) donated 2 €. That's increase of 82 % to his last donation in previous video. He must be reading my comments.
yes, it's all about you Stewie : )
I just noticed it. He started donating with 1 €, and this is already 3th donation in the row. Maybe he will go exponentially.
A fantastic chess tournament. Thank you Norway
And it was at this point that Agadmator decided to take a nice sip of his glass of water.
I like the fianchettoed knight on b2 at 5:39! :)
"You can see there are a lot of Knights there in the center of the board and, you know, neither Fabi nor Carlsen are interested in developing their other pieces.". 🏆
I laughed at this line.

Worth mentioning at 11:15 kc6 to avoid c4+ winning the rook for white
Finally the hardwork by Fabi paid off. Much satisfying to see magnus loosing. Faith in humanity restored.
Magnus is too competitive, I am sure he did not take this game lightly.
He played King B7 11:53..... Completly losing.....
Maybe he was just experimenting a lil bit... it wouldn’t matter much if he would lose.
@@nischay4760 Hi I was thinking king b5 instead of king b7 but if king b5 than pawn c4 CHECK :) than d4 captures c4 than rook captures rook and pawn on c3 captures rook on d2

this coverage is awesome !
15:35 "You will have to be able to play everything: Bullet, Rapid, Blitz... EHY (with smile)... classical" he knows how hard it would be :D
I like the Armageddon games because it makes them push for a win and we get all these crazy exciting aggressive games I hope more tournaments do it
We have knight captures on d5 knight captures on d5 and knight to d5
@6:05 What was wrong with either H3 or G3?
Great Salut for you agadmator
3:55 why not capturing on c5? Haha sometimes in those high levels, I think I ask the right question but maybe for me it's not so obvious haha
Qb6, attacking both knights
Carlsen just wanted to give a chance to fabi even when he played Bb7 he knew it was a kind of a mistake as he said it in the conference
Lol just finished watching the classical part and refreshed only to see this video.
for your question at about 10min, why not rb8 instead of ra6? In rb8, the black rook cannot evend defend the b6 pawn ?
Happy birthday sir. Best wishes, health and prosperity with your loved ones.
Even with black pieces in argmageddon Magnus tried to win! I like this spirit!
Many thanks for sharing these games.
It is probably the first time when I heard from You "but it was also in this position that Magnus Carlsen resigned the game". This feels special.
well atleast this year, resigning
6:07 why go for h3 and not instead g3 as a response to Rh6? This would prevent the Queen from nasty business and empower the h2 pawn.
I like that tournaments are decided in more than one time format as long as the chess championship stays a mostly classical only (Sure for the tie breaks other formats are fine)
Finally happy to see fabi win💯💯😤
GJ Fabi!! :)
8:10 why do you want to trade the bishop for the knight? Is it because as you said it's gonna be weak or is that considered a closed position where knight > bishop?
I suppose the pawn structure prevents the bishop from getting behind them and capturing them... so for the bishop, it is pretty closed.
Saddest moment when Agad didn’t have a nice sip of his water 😪
“silly me” and his look on the glas killed me 😂
Agadmator, when are your Lichess tournaments coming back? I miss them.
Me vs Tal
Me: e4
Tal: e5
Me:- resign
7:50 the dog seems to be bored with Magnus - Caruana game lol :P
Happy birthday day agadmator
Never knew agadmator would say words like that in the title in a christian chess channel.
It's short for Win The Fight
And now you effing do!
Christians. Hung up on everything but what's important. And they're all a bunch of Trump supporters now anyway. So fuck 'em.
I am relativly new to chess. What are backwards pawns?
can anyone tell me how to read this kinda tables at the end of the video, i cant seem to figure out who lost to whom and won against whom
may I ask what chess boards they use in tournaments?
Check capablanca treybal in karlsbad 1929. Immortal game really ridiculous
How strange to hear, "And in this moment Magnus resigned"
Magnus was like, "I can do something more interesting than playing out a lost endgame with Fabi like flossing my teeth"
Hey Agadmator!....I really appreciate your vids. I was wondering if you could do vids of games highlighting openings.
At 3:50 why not kc5 ?
Principles are for beginners, amateurs and professionals but not for super Gms
I think there's a saying that you're an expert when you know all the rules and principles of something, but a master when you know when to break them.
What's the timer on Armageddon?

Never expected caruana to win against magnus, especially in the short time format! I guess this is his revenge for the WCC tiebreaks! xD
Lol yeah. I've wanted fabi to beat magnus since so long, it was very satisfying when it finally happened.
Fabiano missed the drawing idea big blunder!
Sometimes I think I understand what's happening, and then agadmator says "this is the main line, in uh well this line" and I just lose my shit
