    The craziest thing about this game is that all of Mamedyarov's moves were among the top engine recommendations. He didn't make a bad move until the very end, at which point he was already losing and was desperately just trying to create some chaos. He played all good moves, and lost.

      This is a great example of the difference between people and engines, really. He played an amazing line that was better for him, but REQUIRED precise play the whole way through. We use up our energy and time as we play while engines don't, so even if the line in Stockfish says it's winning it's just SO MUCH HARDER for a human to do it. This is the type of stuff you need to keep in mind when picking which openings and prep to learn, how easy the position is to play is such a hard thing to grade but it's just so important

    I reckon Magnus started studying the Catalan extensively after Alpha Zero used it as its preferred opening. In your video a few months back on Alpha Zero v Stockfish you mentioned sometime that that opening was what it went for most of the time and it didn't find any significant advantage with 1. e4. And then, after another few weeks you released a video on what Magnus learned from Alpha Zero and I believe this is one of the things he learned from it.

      This is completely irrelevant but I'm a firm believer than AlphaZero is trash. And so are all these neural network engines. Google was using some fancy custom made TPUs. Right now, if you're an average guy, run Leela on your average GPU and it'll be trash. Competitions just use great GPUs and hype up all of them. The problem is that there's no comparison CPU x = GPU y. There can never be a fair match up.
      Basically, I believe that even in 2018, if you ran Stockfish in a good enough computer, it'd be better.

    Magnus threw some shade at Giri in the postgame interview with Norwegian TV, saying "I am impressed with his will to win. If he is willing to take the forfeit instead of giving Dubov a game on the rest day, and to score that point for free, he must really want the victory."
    He clarified that it was his understanding that Dubov was willing to play on the rest day, but Giri refused, and thus won the game when Dubov didn't play. People, including Karjakin, were giving the organisers shit for the way it went down, but it seems the option was indeed given to the players!

      Yea honestly I feel the same sure anish in second place but even if he would win this people would question because he took the forfait, he should have just played dubov on the rest day escpecially since it was a corona situation. I think magnus summed it up really well Anish desperately wants to win but the way magnus is playing right now goodluck

    • @kimaboe
      @kimaboe Před 2 lety +5

      @@mohammadalmasri7578 Agreed, they should have put clear terms for when the game would be played in case of positive cases in a player's camp. Anish was perfectly in his right to take the forfeit, of course. Magnus was giving a post-game interview, Anish walked behind him and gave the V-sign to the camera, so I think Magnus just felt encouraged to troll him a bit in return. I don't doubt that Magnus would have played on the rest day, that seems to be his attitude to these things, but then again, he has less to lose than most of the other players.

      Bottom line dubov couldve played the match but forfeited, anish was waiting for him at the board.
      I can even understand dubov that he doesnt want to play with a mask on. It's fine...but giri isnt obligated at all to play him outside the schedule. Thats silly.

    37:16 Daniel King's PowerPlayChess channel mentions that the idea of Ne1 is not to play Nd3, but it's Nc2. Nc2 puts pressure on d5 after Ne3 in some lines, and otherwise frees the queen from duty of protecting d4. Nd3 is played because f7 shakes things up.

  • @Kirito_2016
    @Kirito_2016 Před 2 lety

    You should do a series where you have to play from a losing position. You can title it "Creating Counter-play" or something. In the low elo games you can just hang a piece for free, and then later maybe a piece for a pawn, then maybe a rook for a knight or bishop. and in the high elo games maybe just get into a bad position but one that still has life in it. You could just make custom games and start the game from the losing position. Anyway I just think it would be pretty informative and it plainly sounds like good content.
    (I've commented this 26 times and I'll continue to do so until either Levy responds, or I see the series. Or maybe I'll give up who knows?)
