Thanks a lot for adding the clock timers. Agad is already working hard to bring us free content. I think this adds some more to his plate. Extra thankful for your work
The offered queen sacrifice is beautiful, of course, but my favorite part of the game is actually at 3:45 with moves 13 through 15. You can see Magnus using a series of innocuous-looking pawn moves to gradually lure the Black queen onto his side of the board and away from the defense of the Black king. Once Shuvalova's queen is camped out on b3 (and looking rather silly), Magnus launches his attack. You love to see it.
From my perspective those moves were just a way to make room for castling while grabbing queenside space. A good example of why it's generally not a good idea to check without purpose or make a threat that your opponent can easily parry, here the queen work just gave Magnus extra time and space. If black wanted, they could have just moved the queen back to b6 and admit that the check was a mistake. But chess players don't do that.
It's very nice to have the clock. I have thought in the past that it would be nice to be able to see it on your videos, but figured it just was too much trouble.
Qd7 is much more beautiful, stunning move! Something more pleasing about giving the opponent the chance to capture the queen or decline it, either way you're getting checkmated.
To me, it was always enough if you mentioned the time pressure. I don't personally need to see the clock, evaluation bar, best proposed continuations, etc. I'm just here to enjoy the chess
Thanks for adding the clock! I've been your viewer since long before you got big, and this is the best addition to your video so far. With love, from India!
I'm a caro-kann player and someone played this against me yesterday. I managed to win but I was lucky. I have to study this since I feel I'm gonna see it a lot in the next few months
@@dark_magician_sdy not sure what you mean. It's a great opening, even used at the top level. It's a common defense by Alireza. Maybe you dislike playing against it?
I think the clock is a good addition when it's possible to have it. In my opinion you will feel the tension more, but you notice it mostly when it's just 30 second on the clock or 10 seconds on the clock. Also you know you lost the game when Magnus offers you his queen :) Thank you for the game Antonio! I've been watching your games for a long tine since the channel was really small. Always a pleasure.
Hey Agad; Having seldom studied openings but instead playing hundreds if not thousands of different caro-kann games as black, I can tell you that taking any pawn that makes it that far with the f pawn almost always goes badly for black in the Caro-Kann. There are lines I've encountered where the f pawn can break against certain other pawns, but not like that. 😄 Seriously! Nice video btw. 🙂
She is trapped, and of course capturing the queen would be game over. However, Magnus probably saw how his knight and his d-pawn could work together with his own queen to checkmate Black, and trapping a king is better than trapping a queen. And anyway, the Black queen is just sitting on b3 accomplishing nothing, while Magnus's queenside rook is very active and threatening along the a-file. Magnus went for the attack instead of snatching material, which is why he's the GOAT and we ... aren't. :)
That was a crushing drive forward by Magnus, and Polina did her best but was overwhelmed. It is a small feeling on her side of the board when a giant sits on the other side, gobbling your pieces and flicking away your attacks like worrisome flies.
Hello Agad. Thanks for the clock timer. Please do not even add the engine evaluation bar on the side next to your games. When other channels include that I find it deeply distracting from the chess itself and it also defeats the purpose of the viewer attempting to evaluate the position for themselves. You are the best chess channel on CZcams! Cheers
Clock feature is a great addition. For me, it's just a little distracting when it flashes to white. Maybe if both clocks were always the dark color with light numbers, and not flashing to white?
I am the happiest person in the world now after losing 3 games on lichess coz it's really a big deal to me to see my man Magnus coming back in his actual blood thirsty avatar. Thank you Agad for making my day. If Magnus is winning I am the happiest.
Haha the g8 Bishop(and h8 rook) didn't even move the whole game. What a pwnage. The e6 pawn push was a really poisoned pawn, but not really since I guess they had no other option since not taking it is even worse than not and playing something else..
Someone posted the position on Twitter and I found the same move Magnus did. I then checked the engine and it did prefer Qd7. I saw that move but didn't really understand what it accomplished until the engine told me. I assumed it was too slow, but I was wrong
Thanks for adding clock timing
and what a game to show clock lmao magnus having 2:14 in the end of the game and opponent 0:17.
Time control is very useful to know how much pressure the players are under
Clearly no pressure whatsoever for drunk Magnus to beat a woman
@@mattkuah5567sexist
@@mattkuah5567without context this sounds so bad😂😂
... Also, show the evaluation bar as the game progresses, thanks 😊
Magnus still 2:15 min on the clock. What a killer

Agad: "... a staggering 10.5 out of 11."
Kramnik: "Interesting."
Fischer: Pffft!
How did Magnus get only 10.5/11? Who stole 0.5 from him?
Fisher: "Very interesting. "

Grisščuk: "Still Hall of Shame!"
Love the clock addition!!
It's nice to have the clock! But to be honest I think I looked at it only twice because I prefer focusing on the game :)

This was an absolutely crushing game. Wow.
Love the clocks! Hope to see more of them in future
So Magnus just defeated a 2800+ in 3 min blitz under 1 minute....Dats pretty intimidating
And also, Very Interesting 😅
Very interesting
It's a woman
@@mattkuah5567she reached 2800 without her gender being relevant
Kremnik will say that Magnus is a cheater if he sees this game
She’s like a 1500 cause she’s a woman
The clock is a great addition. Thank you very much
time control is great
Big fan of the clock addition!
Magnus is unbelievable. The clock times are great, thanks!
Qd7 is much more beautiful, stunning move! Something more pleasing about giving the opponent the chance to capture the queen or decline it, either way you're getting checkmated.

The clock is cool, its small enough that its not distracting
3:59 after black plays b6 dont Ra3 just trap the queen? The queen's only escape square was b6 and now it is occupied
C2 as someone pointed out

I love the time stamps. Nice game - really like Magnus games the most.
Yes clock time is a great addition. Been honestly wanting that for years.
Ty for adding the clock
Timer is such a great addition thanks!
Love the clock times!
Glad I found the sac. What an amazing game, love these short beauties!
+ 💯 for the clocks
Appreciate the clock. What a great game!!

Yes, a nice upgrade to add the clock timers when you can.
nice having the timestamps!
Love the times display ❤
this is actually my go to anti-caro line. it's super effective I must say, even as a caro kann player myself.
I love the featured clock time
Love it agadmator!
❤❤❤ the clocks!
THANK YOU!
Dangerous attack. Clock time is an important part of game so excellent thanks
Great game. And the clock is a good addition.
The clock is amazing more information is always better imo keep the content coming👌🏻❤️
Clock cool. Big M is the puppet king of the board. Just effortlessly taking advantage of one slight mistake.
MVL was destroyed in 8 moves (vs Anthony Wirig on 17/09/2010 ?!) by this "night attack" in the Scandinavian variation of the Alekhine defence .
1. e4 Kf6 2. Kc3 d5 3. e5 Kd7 4. e6 fxe6 5. Bd3 c5 ?? 6. Qh5+ g6 7. Qxg6 !! hxg6 8. Bxg6 #
Wow, that was quite a battering.
i was wondering always what this 2.Ke2 does. Interesting!
magnus is an absolute monster, what absolute magic he performs over the board.
#Time# is a nice future to have sometimes watching your games 🙂
Thanks for the timer
at 4:36, why doesnt magnus play Kd3, opening up the bishop attacking the rook while also positioning the knight for a king--queen fork on c5
Another great presentation! What is your rating?
Keep the time control and keep your games coming.
Clock time always. Even live competition record time for each move.
Clocks💯
Love the clock!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGE ADD!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it’s a good idea to put the clock for online games. For otb games it’s probably more effort than it’s worth
Haha the g8 Bishop(and h8 rook) didn't even move the whole game. What a pwnage. The e6 pawn push was a really poisoned pawn, but not really since I guess they had no other option since not taking it is even worse than not and playing something else..
please with clock times, i highly enjoy
It's not the most important thing, but when it's not too much trouble, I definitely prefer being able to see the time usage.
... Also show the evaluation bar as the game progresses, thanks 😊
Thanks for the clock please keep it with other games ❤❤❤❤
I love clock times being added in Blitz.
I am 1300 elo and she would take my soul in 20 moves yet Magnus made her look as if she was 1300 elo herself.. Amazing.
Beautiful game, another nail in the coffin for the CaroK!
CM in 2 for MC. Queen to D7 threatening check mate next move with knight in support, drops the queen to knight. Knight takes knight check mate
Very nice time clock inclusion ❤

Clocks help for all games, it's one of the biggest factors in decision making. Often I'm left wondering whether blunders are a result of time trouble.
She was slaughtered from the word go. Outmanned from start to finish
Big fan of the clock timing. Now when we have pause the video moments, we’ll see how fast the pro’s solved it
Yes! Times!
Game over
What an absolutely brutal fight.
complete demolition
the clock time is must need feature and I always wonder about it
I like the clock times
