Reminds me of Tal or Rashid, insane combinations *only* to get into a winning endgame, but that's just how chess at higher levels work, you can't expect 2600 elo people to not spot a mate or lose material (well maybe in faster time controls you can but still)
I deal with the like button as "add to my favorite to watch again and again." It's the biggest compliment I could ever give to a youtube video. And this one got it
It's rarely a good idea to willingly take "free" pawns and go into your opponent's prep, especially in lower time format. But honestly as the audience, I'm glad it happened. I'd love to see more riskier games like this!
This was by far my favorite game in a long time! I thought it was going to end so much sooner, but Alireza really fought well, until he was out of time.
WHENever i see an MVL game i like to think i understand his moves. when i look at MC, FC and some of the otherss their moves are a complete mystry to me
Alireza took some (reasonable?) criticism for farming rating points to qualify for the Candidates. Then he didn’t have a great tournament. He seems to have regained focus and is returning to form as one of the most dangerous chess players. Very enjoyable to watch. Great game by MVL.
@@jestice75 he won 2 classical games in the super united tournament and also did well in Norway chess. His only classical loss was against magnus which was quite unfortunate. i would say he has regained form after the candidates
Wow a game like this just shows you these GMs do not care about gaining material the goal is to get that Checkmate a lot of Good moves from both players defending hanging pieces etc Great Chess from these two Thanks for the Game
PLEASE agad it's been 9 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's rapid WFRCC Hikaru's WIFE vs classical WFRCC Wesley's GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc
Wesley got the win, Ian flagged, the video doesn't leave any room for ambiguity, the only thing is that Wesley noticed it after a couple of moves, when he was in a completely losing position. I think Ian messed with Wesley by knocking down a piece on Wesley's time on the second day of blitz, but it wasn't in a time trouble situation, and it seemed to be mostly in good spirit between the two.
It’s incredible that MVL went through that insane middle game to reach the end game a pawn up.
Chess in a nutshell xD
Sounds like my IM friend told me on how he got that high rating
There was plenty of ways where black could slip. And then they would be checkmated or a piece down, instead of a pawn.

this is one of the best chess games I've seen
What the hell is chess?
Yes, exactly
Watch tal games
Here you are ladies and gentlemen
I don't want to trick you guys
Something about the water there , everyone is attacking like a lion .
Ya this tournament feels very fresh to watch
It is 34 degrees C in there! Everyone wants to go to the beach party!!
TAKE MY ROOK, TAKE MY ROOK, PLS TAKE MY ROOK
😂😂😂
MVL: *standard MVL muted smile*
Sir, nobody wants your rook. The children are watching. Please take your rook home.
*For god sakes take the damn rook*
😂😂
This game is shockingly precise for fast chess. The players literally played like stockfish 16 until move 26.
Vladimir Kramnik (in soviet english): "Ok, it's all clear... LET'S DO THE PROCEDURE."
Oh no! LOL
True
I don't think we need to pay too much attention to precise moves early in the game because those are all played from memory anyway.
@@WingedEspeonHe said until move 26
MVL has been playing some exciting chess lately. He's currently the new Ivanchuk
The Chucky of our time. So true.
My head just exploded watching this. Complexity and beauty in a package.
Game of the week should be a thing on this channel

Lol
Same
Agreed
MVL played like an engine while alireza was like please please please take the exchange back!
Man, this is the sort of chess I love
So creative! Is amazing to see lines like this one
Insane resistance by Alirezaa...
This line is so outrageous and ingenious. Hope to see these lines in a classical setting. Tal like ingenuity on full display
"MVL sacrifices the exchange" is becoming somewhat of a motto of the channel haha
It's way more fun to have the threat of discovered check against your opponent.
What a game. Great stuff Maxime! Definitely one to show my friends down at the bar and library.
What a wild game!
Such a good game, both players attacking each other with various clever tricks.

"never accept a gambit unless you know how to exploit it"
Alireza: I'm the most French here.
MVL: I'm descended from Napoleon.
Alireza: Zut alors! You are *my* Waterloo.
I urge you to take my rook Sir😂😂😂😂
This was by far my favorite game in a long time! I thought it was going to end so much sooner, but Alireza really fought well, until he was out of time.
This is the best blitz game I have ever seen! Absolutely unbelievable that they were able to calculate those tactics so quickly!
That middle game spiked my adrenaline just watching it. Absolute carnage, what a beauty
Unbelievable SPEED chess.
It's seems Maxime doesn't care about his rooks. He always sacrifices the exchange 😅
What a masterclass by MVL... thanks Agad.
WHENever i see an MVL game i like to think i understand his moves. when i look at MC, FC and some of the otherss their moves are a complete mystry to me
That was beautiful. I think I need to rewatch that again, that was that amazing, and a blitz game...just unbelievable.

He's been pure garbage in classical after the tournament.
@@jestice75 he won 2 classical games in the super united tournament and also did well in Norway chess. His only classical loss was against magnus which was quite unfortunate. i would say he has regained form after the candidates
was beautiful
This has to be one of the most chaotic attacking games, I’ve seen in a long time. All thanks to MVL!! 😊
The rook was trying so hard to stop the white bishop 😂😂
I've bookmarked this game. Never played the Ruy Lopez because I assumed it had been played into the ground. So many great tactics to remember.
Wow a game like this just shows you these GMs do not care about gaining material the goal is to get that Checkmate a lot of Good moves from both players defending hanging pieces etc Great Chess from these two Thanks for the Game
Best Ruy I've seen this year, no question.
Game of the year contender here, what a wild ride this was.
I love complicated games, thank you
Woww!!!what a beautiful masterpiece by MVL👏👏👏
This was an amazing game, I even got lost as to how MVL ended with a pawn up in the end game
PLEASE agad it's been 9 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner!
Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end.
It's rapid WFRCC Hikaru's WIFE vs classical WFRCC Wesley's GIRLFRIEND.

What an absolutely mental game
Truly beautiful.
One of the best Ruy Lopez game I've ever seen. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
That rook was invincible but in the opposite way.
This tournament produces one gem after another! Just great!
It's a brilliant game whenever MVL gives up the rook
I remember agad's quote one time : 'of course I'm mvl, I always give up my rook'
Thanks Antonio - what a wild game.
MVL on 🔥
The fireworks tournament.
And MVL the Lighter, sparking things up.
...well this could be the best ruy-lopez-blitz of all...
How fitting that they played this on July 14 no less 💪🏼 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🍻 thanks Agad for yet another fun video !
i love when agadmator say "and you can just resign "
Goddamn it, MVL really cooks it very well when he plays in blitz
This tournament was wild
Wow. What a game. That too in a blitz game
Such a masterful chess game by both masters.
This is total madness!!!
Damn! What did they smoke to get 'That' high???!!! 🤯🤯🤯
Mind blowing how they see all of that in a blitz game.
Wow... MVL is amazing. Was thinking this would go on something like the Ng5 but instead took its time to get to such a complicated attack.
What a beautiful game. Just lovely.
Superb stuff
This is beyond steroids! One of the great games I've seen!
Superb game guys. Also, Agadmator is the best chess storyteller.
So many actions on this game
Wow what a Ruy Lopez. Awesome.
Alireza played right into it
I mean, a pawn and the exchange? Sign me up
The Ruy BLOWpez!
this is something else
What happened on Ian’s protest against Wesley yesterday?
What happened there ?
?
@@michaelmassaro4375 Just an ultra-nationalist Russian patriot butting heads with an ultra-nationalist American patriot.

Wow, what a match
5:25 screams "TAKE THE F* ROOK"
I'll admit that, without knowing the outcome when the game started, I was rooting for MVL. Spectacular game.
This is one of the best game in the recent times.
THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL GAME,,,ESPECIALLY FOR THIS FORMAT,,,
Amazing game. I thought from the quality of play it was a slow game, and was surprised when black cracked. Then I saw it was speed chess. Holy cow!
After some gap witness spectacular chess by mvl
MVL u beauty❤❤
Best ruy Lopez ever seen
It takes two to create a brilliancy!
The way these guys think ...its wild
What a game! Every chess lover must see.
Great game to watch! (And to play, I suppose, one day I hope to play like this AND win 😂)
wow that was a very fun game
What a beautiful game
if im not mistaken, mvl even reach 2948 on blitz
Thanks
Queen to H1 was missed by Maxime,I guess
A marvelous game
I always enjoy the Royal Opus opening ... but I don't know much about this Ruy Lopez guy. 😉
On occasions football teams play for the entertainment of the crowd. That was the chess version.
I saw bishop h2 but I didn't see half the vision
Full preparation by maxime
Dangerous game
lmfaooooo this is wild 😭😭😭😭😭😭
the title is very fitting.
Wtf this game was insane
Just wow
