Notice that Magnus is never afraid of getting himself in a time crunch because he knows when to take more time to think and when to gain time back. He is almost always low on time but his play is phenomenal
and then there's Sasha who only starts playing when he has 5 mintues left lol
He knows his endgame expertise is always sitting there waiting to give him the advantage. His ability to almost always play the best move available once the game is simplified by removing pieces is unmatched.
Better to be low in time than to blunder
What time trouble ,it's classical and he has vast experience of that ,he knew very well that move 40 is near
i'm sorry but isn't magnus the best player in the world at rapid chess and alltogheter in all formats of chess? if you want to beat magnus you better do it mid game and hope to god not to go in end game where the odds are equal because no matter how you put it, magnus will destroy you
It looks like Magnus is just winning the stamina game here. Chess is not just a game of skill but of focus, as well.
In a game of focus, Nepo is a Ferrari and Magnus is a Ford Focus.
Sleep well. Stay away from wine and sex and woman, if u are to win a world championship tournament.
@@landon7453 sounds like John Wickkkk too! 🤣
Stamina of the mind! I mean, being tired is one thing but the impact of a psychological wound should not be underestimated either.
During the game 8 conference:
Journalist: "How do you rate your performance today?"
Nepomniachtchi: "Ummm... well... in general I'd like to appolagize for today's performance."
Journalist: "Why?"
Nepomniachtchi: "Aaummm... it was probably far bellow than ummm... not even, let's say, my normal level but in general, I think it was bellow just a GM level."
Journalist: "Were you tired after 3, on the third day of playing?"
Nepomniachtchi: "No, I don't think it's about being tired. It's like some weird sequence choices but yeah I'm just looking forward for the next games."
czcams.com/video/ITslJmTHd14/video.html
Nepomniachtchi seems to be really hard on himself. It's not his responsibility to make sure we are satisfied with his "performance", so he doesn't have to appologize. It's not under a GM level to make mistakes under these intense circumstances; I would argue that it's totally of, if not above, a GM level that he hasn't made worst mistakes. Being physically and emotionally exhausted definetly has to do with this, whether he's willing to admit it or not.
It's always an honor for amateurs like me to watch to watch titans like him "perform" regardless of the result. There are people out there who are proud of him unconditionally. He really deserves more kindness than he seemed to be showing himself or allowing other to show him. Nepomniachtchi is a great player and I hope that this championship doesn't affect him for the rest of not just his career but his _life_. Go Nepo! Go Nepo! Go!
@@patrickdallaire5972 well said! even though im rooting for Magnus as much as everybody is, we all do have a soft spot for Nepo...like he's a nice guy, not like stupid Hikaru...but anyways, the fact that Nepo challenged Magnus already means a lot even if he underperforms because i was rooting for Giri in the candidates tournament to win so it'll be Giri vs Carlsen...that would be very interesting, but Nepo came outta nowhere, so respect to him for that!
Anish Giri was right when he said it's kind of a statement, not only winning in the simpiest most forward way with a +4 advantage, but Magnus takes his time and calculates like a madman and plays Nxg3 + the absolute strongest moves lol trully the GOAT..
That was beast mode. Normally with an attacking pawn that advanced you'd be thinking defence, but he's just "No danger, think I'll grab a pawn". Must have really stung Nepo.
In chess more than in any other sport you can't ease up for one moment since your opponent can turn the tables on you with one move!
Ruthless
Anish and judit even discussed c5 c6 blunders the bishop even before c5 was played!
Yes. I remember watch this live and check the computer. The computer say Nxg3 is the strongest move in that messy gameplay. For computer, its normal to calculate like that. But for human? No way i will eat that pawn when my enemy marching his pawn in other side. I will play defensive. No way i eat that pawn. This prove that magnus is a robot. His calm is beyond our understanding
Magnus is simply good at not losing a game. He knows when to pivot his game towards a draw and when to push for a win. Dude is a machine.
His 125 unbeaten streak proves that. I don't think anyone will be breaking that record for a while. Imagine being in peak form for over 2 years straight.

“And it was in this position on move 1 that Nepo has got a completely new and improved hairstyle” -Agad 2021
If nothing else goes right in this tournament, he has that.
I attended this game today… Magnus could not believe his eyes when Nepo played C5.. he was not sure did Nepo blunder or there is something in this that he totally missed!
Yes! I saw that!
You are wrong he was sure that this was a blunder. The thing he was so confused about was the fact that a super GM would make such a terrible move. Obviously he still calculated all the lines after C6 even though it's such an obvious blunder.
@ikr Same ah damn u
Sad to see nepo not doing his best
His is a good player and can do wayy better than this
But right now Magnus seems to be unstoppable
He is nothing without his man bun.
@@Iksvomid He did blunder twice this championship with that bun
I don't even think it's Magnus being unstoppable, it's Nepo blundering because he's making hasty decisions. Magnus's face when Nepo blundered says it all.
@@mrskinszszs Nepo is in his own head and while Magnus has not given him much to work with, I think Nepo is playing himself now more than Magnus.
@@iFluxyy I agree. He needs to compose himself and not blitz out moves in critical moments like he has been doing. He's thrown drawn/winnable positions down the drain doing just that.

Respect to Nepo for being a class act. Hope this isn't too hard on him... At the end of the day his worst performance still outclasses millions upon millions of chess players throughout the world.
Nepo is like me, as an amateur i will win games but if i lose, then it's a loss until the end no matter the strength of the opponent...
I couldn't agree more. Playing so well with a piece down: today he showed that not only is he a superlative player, he is a chess champion as well! Definitely a class act.

I love how at 13:52 he doesn’t spoil what happens and instead says “it could be very very bad.”
Many thanks to Agadmator for providing excellent coverage of the wcc
Magnus really took his time to calculate everything when he had a winning position. Meanwhile, Nepo blitzed out moves in critical moments. Before c5, there was the option to play b4 instead of bxa3, but Nepo just instantly grabbed the pawn. He played c5 with some 50 mins on the clock vs 15 for Magnus
Yeah B4 looked very very intriguing, not necessarily winning, but it gave Nepo very good chances
He probably doesn't want to play chess anymore, he just wants to go home and somehow erase this horrible experience from memory. I can't imagine the state of mind he's in right now.
Putin will be disappointed
He isn't blitzing, actually. He told during a press conference that he sits and thinks in the resting lounge while looking at the screen with current position. He said it's more comfortable for him this way.
@@natashazheltova1412 maybe he's too comfortable and not focusing properly
This man is so fast in analysing game such that magnus and nepo would come here to see if there is any improvement they can do
Hope you’re joking and don’t actually believe that, lol
you are trolling right?
He just steals the lines from the official commentary bro he said everything that they said i watched the full.game for example " the biggest comeback in sports history"
Agad's recap are pretty basic in analysis that's why it's so fast
@@grmancool he covers different lines and moves... What more do you expect...?
Nepo is so graceful in defeat. It seems he just wasn’t prepared for the immense pressure of the event. If this his not his year, I hope he gets another shot at the crown in the future.
It's all an act in the press conference bruv. He showed his true class by the blunders in the game.
@@hoola_amigos what
Yes
I'm a big fan of Nepo. I like Carlsen too, of course.

He died 3 times
COUGH (kasparov) COUGH
well I don't think I should say anything when the result is well known by everyone :P
Magnus loves calculating in low time to convert in the most precise and cold-blooded manner imaginable (Nxg3, jeez), the match is pretty much over at this point.
I agree. I'm with Lawrence Trent. There's no way I'd have grabbed that pawn. Magnus is a savage.
Magnus always knows how to lit up a match!
its not about winning its about sending a message
As Agad would say , A Butcher's Move
Agree. If a computer made that move I’d resign! Though I’m a beginner in many senses… love a Neop as a player!
Now their head to head score in classical chess is 4 to 4. Not only Magnus is keeping his crown but he seems to have settled his accounts with an old rival.

Anderssen voiced it well when asked why he did not play as brilliantly as usual in his game with Morphy, when he replied: "Morphy will not let me." This is why Nepo blunders agains Magnus.
No it's because he has a weak mind, everybody knew about it. Karjakin and Caruana didn't went into a tilt like nepo is doing now.

@@Phantoharibo you don't know the state of his mind , he could internally have been in a fine place & simply no longer been giving much care or thought to his positions , to give so little respect to such a prestigious event so as to do that is something that could be said to take rather a great deal of mental fortitude
we don't know now whether he is horrified by what is thought of him after such a game or is resolving himself to continue on the same regardless , if it is the latter there could be no doubt he is extremely mentally strong in regards to dealing with the pressure of external perceptions , even though it'd make him less of a competitor
@ikr Same nobody is clicking random links in a comments section as blatantly full of spam & advertised junk as this one is
@@Marcusjnmc Nepo has a weak mind, it has been known before, there is no doubt about this.
He is always crashing hard when he leads a tournament and lose spectacularly, the only time he didn't crash hard after a loss is during the candidates and it's only because the candidate have been postponed for months after his defeat against MVL.

There is a lesson here for class players like myself. Even if you drop a piece, if the position is complicated it is possible to create all kinds of problems for your opponent. I was amazed at the analysis after the blunder. How many class players on the winning side would fall into a trap, or lose the advantage?! It could easily happen to me anyway.

The only way Magnus can lose is if Bobby Fisher comes out of his grave with a clear mind 😀
@@MarvelousMaterial Or letting Ivanchuk playing the championship
@@MarvelousMaterial fisher will hate chess if he born in this era. He love chess era when human just play to win using logic, not remembering chess engine line. Remember in old days, king gambit still play able, now it called the weak in opening
Magnus' experience and nerves are clearly showing throughout the match. Maybe when Magnus said that Fabi and Ding were harder opponents, he already gained an advantage over Nepo, psychologically.
well he just said the likely truth, which turned out to be true as Nepo collapsed.
Well in the candidates most people would think that its either fabi or ding, maybe MVL....but yeah nepo took his chance and lead the first half and theres no coming back from fabi and ding
In the 1985 World Snooker Championship final between defender Steve Davis and challenger Dennis Taylor, the world champion beat his opponent in eight successive frames from the outset. From frame 9 onward, Taylor gradually worked his way back. Eventually the match was decided in his favour on the last ball in the last frame (frame 35).
Talk about your pool hall hustler!
I did not know what a snooker championship was so I went and watched some videos. Man, aren't those guys talented?
Oh, and that's a bad miss. - favorite line of snooker commentators
I have a huge respect for nepo for showing up. Facing off the reporters. Maybe magnus wasn't born to be dethroned
Prince Ali will dethrone him!
Kasparov ruled for 2 decades. Some people are just built different. But in this era, I don’t think the reign will ever last that long. There are some real monsters being developed, and are in their way to usurp the throne.
@@Iksvomid Most probably, question is: when
@@sundeepgoswami9862 I’m very curious for how Alireza will perform in the candidates. He could easily be the one to take the title from Carlsen, even beating Carlsen’s record for the youngest person with a 2800 classical rating by I think 6 months
@@James-vc1kc true but magnus never performed below 2800. Only time will tell if alireza can maintain his rating and win the candidates.
It's quite devastating to see something like this happen. But on the other hand, when I watched the Karjakin and Caruana championships, it was a grindfest and I remember not being so interested. But with tries like h5 in an open Petroff followed by Kf8 to avoid a draw, and here having created happiness with an opening that had Magnus grasping for ideas, I think Nepomniatchi really plays in the spirit of the game: looking for new ideas and imbalances to add a certain sense of panache to the entire match. Yes, he's played a couple of blunders, but he gives us matches that we want to watch. Dubov, Naroditsky, Radjabov. These are the players I like to watch, because they like complications and sharp play. I don't think that he has anything to apologize for except trying to play a creative brand of chess. Ivanchuk was famous for many brilliancies but also more than a few instances where he would rapidly lose a match because of his demeanor. But chess enthusiasts should be Ivanchuk fans because he plays in the spirit of chess as art.

Well said.
@@naturalmystic67 ikrczcams.com/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/video.html
i totaly disagree. when the game comes to out of preperation , nepo always blundered or played inaccurate moves . i think he has just prepared for openings and thought that by preperation he could lead the serie into tie breaks and could have a chance with rapid games to become champion . but life aint that easy.
@@m.s.47 That is correct. Karjakin and Caruana left their skins on the table.
"Nepo just prepared for openings and tried to win in rapid."
I find this an odd statement if it is coming from someone who has an understanding of the philosophy of chess. When you prepare, you can only prepare so far. No player would ever rely solely on openings to win a World Championship, especially against Magnus. And are you saying that every game he played to get himself to the tournament was suddenly wiped from his brain? This is not football where you practice set plays and everything is fluid. It is a tactical game of memory and analysis. Further, in the first five games that were drawn, the commentators were all satisfied with his play and his attempts to mix it up and try things.
From a chess perspective, your comment makes no sense.
Magnus straight up said in the press conference that he is basically tidying up his record with Nepo, "just like he did with Anand". They are 4/4 lifetime now and I feel he will play for another win in this match... or just play the most accurate chess he can at any moment (which results in the same thing)!
quote from Carlsen after game 11:
"I think at a certain point your best strategy can be just to wait, knowing that you have the lead and just be very serious and solid and that can sometimes be the best way to play for a win as well."
1:00 "Nepo has a new improved hairstyle, I mean it doesn't have to be improved but it's new"😂😂
Magnus' reaction was amazing at 27. c5. "Did this guy just blunder?"
It's like when you get a new haircut after a breakup but you're still broken
It's just a game.
@@georgeray649 The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice.
There’s always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle.
Nxg3 was for Alireza, Caruana, Giri, and everyone else queueing up to be next. He's like a prize fighter, lining up the next hook even though the opponent is falling.
I went to the bar and the library looking for a bishop but unfortunately the bishop couldn’t get there. He was trapped in a most unfortunate manner.
made me lol
Everyone had their doubts which Ian we will get in the match. Clearly not the one we had in Candidates. Game 6 affected him a lot it seems.
He got a bit of luck due to half the tournament getting postponed due to pandemic.
"B4 pawns are often sacrificed"
Anyone who's seen Agadmator enough knows what opening he's referring to.
The Evans Gambit!!!😂 The funniest one I think was in his coverage of the alpha zero vs stock fish game
No he is referring to his most beloved opening: the orangutan's gambit
True OGs will remember Agadmator's drunken stream where he kept shouting at his buddy to play B4
"B4! B4! B4 is de move!"
Oh didn't catch this. Until you hinted it has to do with Agadmator himself. Then it clicked.
You gotta give it to Nepo for putting up a solid fight after that blunder, if I would have blundered like that I would be running off the stage crying lmaooo
If you were watching the live stream that's what happened :( after the blunder he spent 20 minutes in the washroom on his turn. When he finally came back you could tell he was in tears while in there
I suspect that Nepo can't handle the stress of a world championship. It would explain why he keeps leaving the board. It might be an attempt to get away from the board and try to relax. But but leaving the board and playing so fast, Nepo is not thinking as deep into the position as Magnus and making mistakes. And against Magnus, any mistake can be unforgiveable. Unfortunately, at this point, I think Nepo has gone full tilt. He's lost too many games and is probably feeling absolutely crushed. it becomes a vicious cycle, you make a mistake so you lose, you lose so you are feeling crushed so you make more mistakes, so you lose more etc... Psychologically, it will be very difficult for Nepo to recover.
For me this isn’t solely on Ian though. What on earth is his team doing? He quite obviously needs better support and they definitely haven’t supplied it.
He leaves the table after each move, because his personal trainer has told him he must fulfil his quota of 10 000 steps per day. Imp[roving his physical stamina was an important factor in his preparation.
I still think we are in for one game of Nepo brilliance. However that might be optimistic
@@petewest3122 If true, that is pretty dumb. Go to the gym and workout to improve your physical stamina, don't do it during the game. Playing a critical world championship is not the time to get your steps in. During a game, you should be focused on the board and the position and calculating the best move.
@@TheDiplomat27 you say it as if he werent able to visalize the board lmao
Such a sad situation for Nepo, he has no choice but to go all in and play the Sicilian tomorrow or some King's Indian or Gruenfeld against d4.
Sicillian is fine for white so he does not need to take risk.
Marshal attack
Nepo does have to push but, he really can't afford another loss. I'm no where on that level but I'd probably lean towards Nimzo Indian or Alekhine
@@davidneff7620 He can't really afford a draw either
@@denisl2760 I agree. He's just has to capitalize on his positions. Avoid trading as much as possible. Pick up free pawns and such
I hope Nepo keeps fighting and that he has good support from his team. I think one thing to fix for him is not to hurry and use the longer time of the classical format. If you play as in rapid you are not using all the time you have.
Most players I encounter never seem to believe in the concept of using up more time due to a fear of time trouble, but I say that blundering in time trouble is way better than blundering with all the time in the world still available.
I hope this brings forward a new school of chess where commentators like Maurice Ashley don't simply yell that players "need to MOVE already", because this is just bad advice for the majority of casual players who don't burn clock and therefore never get to think.
Nepo used to be praised for being able to play so fast (because as I kid, he was instructed to imagine he always had only half the time remaining in order to avoid avoid time trouble) and tactically, but the chickens are now all coming home to roost.
That Bishop trap reminded me of Fischer vs Spassky game 1 where Fischer blundered the bishop by capturing on h2 leading to g3 trap
It's funny they showed the Fischer blunder in the studio right before the game started.
Was my thought, as soon as I saw the move.
Three point come backs have been done twice. Steinitz was down 4-1 vs Zukertort and the 1935 Alekhine v Euwe match had a 3 point comeback as well.
Steinitz had 15 games, Euwe had 10 games to turn things around. Ian has only 5 games and his current state doesn't promise much.
Naka said something to the tune of Nepo was to optimistic about his evaluations, while Magnus was critical of his position and that is the difference in the match.
Wrong game, this is just a 1 move blunder in equal position, it was in the previous game that nepo didn't evaluate correctly his position.
magnus is an endgame machine...I think it is over...Ian put up a good fight...well done Magnus.
It is over. Ian’s performance though has been very disappointing.
No, Ian just blundered like an amateur 2 times in 2 games. It's far from a good fight.
Lmao I could beat NEPO the way he’s playing not a good fight more a massacre
Nepo is known for playing wild chess...that makes him prone to blunders against players of Magnus's caliber but you have to take risks to beat the best...he was desperate this game but that doesn't take away from his efforts.
@@kanker3465 No you could not lmfao.
What a time to be alive, this chess championship matches have been amazingly entertaining. Thank you Agad for making it even more fun by showing what could have happened. Can't wait for game 10
Nepo is in good company seeing as bobby fisher has also blundered a bishop on the other side of the board to a pawn move.

Another crazy game. Sad for Nepo, but kudos to him for remaining levelheaded after the loss
Magnus has been playing almost like an engine, Nepo was on a very similar level in games 1-5 but after the torturous loss of game 6, he has clearly burnt a lot of his mental reserves. The blunders he made in games 8 and 9 were simply terrible (for a world championship-level player).
I think after game 8 he was already psychologically beaten, wouldn't be surprised to see Carlsen win another game or two
The psychology of these matches is very interesting. Carlsen has now experienced quite a few world chess championship matches in his life. Nepo has only experienced one. The difference in psychological pressure must be vast.
13:52 "If the bishop doesn't go back, could be bad"... I still feel bad for Nepo
I saw this first again
I so much love the way MAGNUS acts like he's lost/clueless but goes on to win
He's not acting clueless, he said it himself in the press conference that the blunder was absurd to do in a world championship match.
@@conor-m Yes, it is very absurd of Nepo to blunder the Rookie, one move mistake in WCC match. I did not have expectations for Nepo but now, I despise him.
@@iguoyrxayananikihs9505 you despise Nepo for blundering? Are you certain that you understand the word "despise" correctly?
@@Ennar he said what he said
Superb, thank you so much for not revealing the score until the very end! I was awaiting for your review for whole day and I so enjoyed your review! Very well done, thank you!
It’s amazing that Nepo missed this, even I saw this when watching the live game. I think he’s so incredibly distracted by that loss in game 6
I feel the same, he hasnt been the same since game 6 and the blunder in game 8 opened it up pandora's box, Magnus now has more stamina, fitness and now the psychologycal adv.
Magnus had 2 minutes on the clock when he was calculating that pawn steal at the end. 2 minutes. Hes ridiculous.
Really respect Nepo for his professionalism through out, but he's done more squats from getting up and down off the chair, that he's gonna have some toned legs after the match.
lmao
Again I say this, Magnus is just so impressive. The number of times he says "Magnus plays the strongest move recommended by the engine" is staggering.
Thank you so much for these amazing videos. I look forward to them!
Good job @agadmator. Great game review, and I love the alternative lines explored!
Agadmator is basically my news source for the sports of chess and the only reason I know how the WCC is going xd
Same
Gothamchess is good for more in depth analysis. Agadmator is more entertaining though. I always watch both
if you wanna be the man you got to beat the man.
It is very sad to see nepo crumble like this.
from the very critical commentary team of his fellow SGM
to the c5 blunder.
Hope he bounces back.
He need 4 wins and draw. That's very impossible against Magnus.
@@ryuzaki_ray He means in terms of playing well, certainly not winning.
Next time kamatis. Game 6 is very devastating.
Wooooooo!!!!!
I'm gonna beat my dad
Two of the Greatest come backs in sports history come to my mind. One is the Buffalo Bills were down 35-3 in the third quarter against Huston Oilers in the playoffs and won the game 41-38 in overtime (1993). The second is the Vancouver Canucks beating the heavy favorite Calgary flames in 2004 series. One of the biggest individual chokes in history was Greg Norman (1996) loses a six-shot lead in the final round of the Masters golf tournament and finishes second. There are many others but those come to mind.
I was thinking of the Bills game, also.
And the World Series, winning out from a 1-3 deficeit.
And that basketball game that Kevin Garnett stole...
Awesome commentary again, thanks!
@11:03 "This is basically game within a game"
Me: Ah, a Gameception!
#Suggestion Quote by Levon Aronian in ChessDotCom live stream interview today: "Did Tal hate anybody? No. He only hated his opponent's king."
And his own queen
thanks for thoroughly covering lots of the ideas in the position, it's a great video
Love seeing these games going all out and Nepo isn’t just playing for draws trying to recoup. Have gained an immense amount of respect for both players
This guy thinks like a machine, concentration almost 100%. Congratulations Magnus.
"...this is hanging, this is hanging, this is hanging..."
Legend 😂
Nepo is such a friendly dude, his pieces are always hanging out!
I wanted Magnus to win the match before the start of championship but now I wish Nepo fights back to some extent and win atleast 2 games. Just how Rocky bounces back against Ivan Drago in Rocky 4 and he gains so much fans, I think Nepo has also gained a lot of fans from WCC. Massive respect to both players.
Yes! I can't see Nepo winning or levelling the match, but I hope he is not crushed.
it's like coming here to watch agad's commentary to have a shoulder to cry on after the game.
Tiger Woods coming back to win the masters was an incredible comeback
Took Tiger 11 years to win another Major- don't think Nepo will be challenging for that long.
That was pretty cool.
@@davidreid5599 he could be
How do you even defeat the man who plays for 8 hours straight and has engine-like precision? Magnus is the GOAT for a reason.
well.. if nepo wouldnt have gone for a silly move when magnus was in time trouble at first time control to put him under more time pressure but just played to imprive his position he couldve had a chance to win.
nepo had a couple of good positions in a lot of the games - today as well - but in critical moments he doesnt find the best moves while magnus makes no mistakes
@@Charizardlison yeah, true. But he's no. 2, he should've been more careful. He was great until game 6. Now it's sad to watch him suffer
liverpool vs ac Milan UCL finals 2005. Liverpool made a comeback in second half after down 0-3 and win the championship.
Great content as always. Many thanks
Nepo needs a bit of Sun Tzu quotes. Heres one:
"In order to confuse your enemy you must confuse yourself" - Sun Tzu.
i think he did too much of that actually..
Post match interviews: *done*
Agadmator: HELLO EVERYONE
Enjoy immensely all your videos
Actually, you are right that from the 9th move we have a completely new game, however in the 11th move, the position after black's castling was achieved once before, but in a different way. Pablo Moujan vs René Rodríguez Pérez VI 2020 1-0.
the last time we had this situation in a World Championship match was the Karpov - Kasparov match1984 where Karpov after 9 games had won 4 games and Kasparov non. Note that Kasparov came back after being 5-0 down!
Yeah but Kasparov is Kasparov. Nepo is an amazing player, one of the best but no way in hell that happens against Magnus Carlsen
Yes, but there was no limit in the number of games. Kasparov took advantage of that by forcing lots of draws which wore away Karpov's energies and mental strength
@@javiergilvidal1558 There’s no buts 🤦♂️
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 What the hell is that supposed to mean?
@@javiergilvidal1558 Give nepo 100 more games magnus still wins.
Still I want to see Nepo win at least one game! Go Nepo!
22:00 I know a greater comeback. It happened to me when I was 14, and someone said that I'm dumb. My comeback crushed this guy's confidence with such force that he got depressed and went completely silent - never uttered a word since then. The comeback was "no u".
well, after someone throws you such a comeback, getting depressed seems like a completely normal phenomenon
Brilliant content. As usual.
I can't help but wonder if Magnus' physical fitness has some influence on his obvious superior stamina
Alcohol lol
We can expect the level of blunder at
GM level: in game 6
IM level: in game 8
Me : in game 9
IM level in game 8 is a bit generous.
Damn this just showed me how great fabi played last go round. Amazing, magnus is a monster
It reminds me on Bobby Fishers blunder in the world championship 1972 in the first game, when Fisher with black took the pawn on h2 and was captured after white played g3. Antonio covered that game nicely as well.
In fact Magnus is an excellent recipient to Nepo's gifts.
Such blunders were not seen in Magnus Caruana match 2018 so the result in classical games was 6-6.
I mean c5 was a big blunder, even I saw instantly that it traps the bishop , but during the livestream, c5 was suggested by Fabiano Caruana and Judith Polgar🤣
it's important to make the move in your head , look at it, see where it goes wrong, that's the difference between classical & other time formats , you don't play the move on the board after playing it in your head, as you get to see that it's wrong
the initial mistake itself is completely fine
I think the mistake itself is fine. It is his mindset of failing to verify piece safety before committing a move in this level of match. Nepo rushed to play c5 the moment after Carlsen came back to the table. His lacking of focus is what cost him most. He should have taken his time, sitting tight at table and thinking through, instead of quickly leaving after each move. Carlsen on the other hand shows how focus he is at analyzing positions even when it is not his turn to move - that is exactly the right attitude Nepo needs. If Nepo had a little patience and made Nc5 instead of c5 then the time trouble could finally become real for Carlsen. Blundering a piece like this just gives Carlsen an extremely easy play even if he has only minutes on the clock.

b4-pawns are often sacrificed: Agad once again reminding us of the unstoppable move
The best thing about this series is i spot all the 'pause the video' moved from watching the live broadcast…
If this match was a film, it would be called
🐠 FINDING NEPO 🐠
He was so often absent from the board.
😥
The reason he did that was that he could not stand magnus face..i know because when i encounter a strong and merciless oponent this is what i feel like
I think Magnus always strives to make the best move, but his calculation of knight takes pawn towards the end seems to say, “I know I’ve got this match. Now, I want to show everyone that even though it isn’t competitive, I’m still putting on a show.”
His focus has shifted from simply winning to further cementing his legacy.
Hmmm i bet to disagree. I don't think of Magnus as a "showoff" in this instances. I believe he doesn't want to give his opponent the slightest chance to recover so he uses as much time as he needs to be entirely sure he will win.
His live rating is 1862. His all-time is 1889. Maybe now he farms Nepo.
Ahh I see. Ian attempted the hair sacrifice for advantage. Really enjoying the versatility of both players in this match.
Great explanation. Thanks a lot.
When nepo played h4, I figured he was having problems coming up with ideas going forward but nepo playing c5 and admitting he had no idea he would trap his bishop seems incredible to me. Unexplainable for a GM.
Exactly it’s unexplainable.. Nepo is playing like he’s being paid to throw the damn match.. it’s an embarrassment to watch
inexplicable too
@@RT-hh3vl Every aspiring chess player has these moments but let's try to come up with an explanation. Ian's habits of almost always walking away after moves seems to have him disengaged from the reality of the board. There appears to be a lack of seriousness in his manner by constantly disengaging in this way, and it is affecting his play. Many will say it doesn't matter but the score indicates otherwise and it is an issue, in my humble opinion.
@@phaque3115 I think this up and down at the board, walking away nearly after every move shows a lack of engagement on his Ian's account. He may do this ordinarily but it's exaggerating his apparent inability to calculate and find practical ways of advancing positions. Just my thoughts. Today was a disappointment and I am looking to explain the unexplainable outside of your thoughts.
@@texasjoe557 by not being at the board he missed the opportunity to call touch move on magnus for his knight fiddling when he didn’t say J’ adoube or however it’s spelled it means I adjust.. had Nepo been there this game would have been different
This was a really entertaining game until it wasn't anymore :(
Yeah this turned cringy really fast. Magnus’ face after c5 made my heart hurt for Ian.
"Can you play b4 here?" That is the right question :D
How many times in this championship have we heard Antonio say "But of course, Magnus made the strongest move!" Chapeau Magnus, the guy's a beast!
I was dying of laughter because in this World Chess Championship we had an amazing game 6 win for Magnus and Nepo blundered his Bishop in the corner of the board taking a poison pawn. This is basically a remix version of Fischer vs Spassky 1972 the similarities are incredible
So are the differences -- the main one being who won the match in 1972 and who did not.
I would be crumbling under the pressure at this stage also. Magnus is just the insurmountable mountain in middle-earth.
Well said
13:51
subtle point Agad. subtle as a trainwreck
Man respect to these two guys,they are both amazing players, hopefully nepo comes back 🙂
