    Facing a checkmate in one move and still wanting to win a rook is insane. I have watched many of Pragg games and I notice that Pragg plays best games against top players while losing to low ranks player. It feels like you need to instigate and challenge Pragg to get the best of him.

    In a post game interview in norwegian, Magnus was disgusted by himself . Before Prag played Re8?, Magnus saw that Re8 would be a big blunder because Nxf7! wins.. But when Prag blundered, Mag completely forgot the whole thing, and looked horrified when interviewer mentioned the missed win.

      @A E Oh for sure. I think Agadmator was trying too hard to justify Carlsen's oversight without realising it was actually just an oversight. Sure black still has practical chances with his passed pawn being a nuisance, but is at a clear disadvantage, and Carlsen would have been eager to enter this line given his endgame prowess.

    • A E

      @Christian Hegele ok, i agree, but being a pawn down and King exposed would be very hard to defend. GM Hammer said it would win, unless Carlsen blundered back.

    • Bass Fischer
      Bass Fischer Ай бұрын +9

      @gs From the lichess FAQ..
      The centipawn is the unit of measure used in chess as representation of the advantage. A centipawn is equal to 1/100th of a pawn. Therefore 100 centipawns = 1 pawn. These values play no formal role in the game but are useful to players, and essential in computer chess, for evaluating positions. The top computer move will lose zero centipawns, but lesser moves will result in a deterioration of the position, measured in centipawns. This value can be used as an indicator of the quality of play. The fewer centipawns one loses per move, the stronger the play. The computer analysis on Lichess is powered by Stockfish.

      Except the Nxf7 missed move, which, if you ask Carlsen, contrary to what the commentators say, I bet he would have said he should have made it. It wasn't hard to spot and the complications favor white. Carlsen only thought for three minutes before making his move, which is not enough time.

      You should have seen them, I thought they were gonna have a heart attack from the stress 😅 especially after the rest finished and there was nothing else to take their mind off the game for a moment. Making moves right when the other player gets up. A lot of psychological action as well. In the middle of the game, it was weird, they had a small conversation about the game. You don't see players do that often. Also I was sure Van Foreest was gonna give the match away, to make his compatriot champion in their home country. Bravo to him for fighting to the end!

      @Alex Barac 10^80 is an estimated number of atoms in the universe. Actually nobody calculated the Total number of positions possible in a chess match. Regarding the other numbers :
      10^120 : This is calculated by Claude Shannon and is also called the Shannon number. Actually his aim was to prove the impracticality of solving chess by brute force! Then how is this number? It only considers upto 40 moves, disregards promotions. But it includes illegal positions like pawns on back rank, two kings are at check etc. It is a LOWER bound.
      4x10^37 : Excluding illegal positions upto 40 moves but without promotions.
      8.5x10^45 : with illegal positions and without promotions.
      Remember all these calculations are for 40 moves only.
      10^123 : It is the lower bound calculated by Allis for 80 moves and maximum branch length of 35.
      Now, a chess game can go upto 5949 moves! So I am with Shannon on this.. Peace.

    I realize that Magnus had his knights nicely posted up, but I still wonder whether Pragg might have been better off leaving them alone and moving into an end-game in which he had two bishops and Magnus had two knights. I would be surprised if even Magnus could win such an end-game against a top 20 player. If wish Agadmator had taken the time to investigate this alternate scenario, even if only to refute it.

      It was not about this match, more about the tournament I think. Sure he really pushed Pragg in a hot, moist and uncomfy 'arena'. But Pragg was really masterful, he was not doing obvious moves, but good alternates to keep Magnus on his toes. Near the end Magnus was ready to make an instant reply, but got surprised by one of the queen moves.

    The title should be edited to battle for the queens... an irony given the number of queens that were on the board and secondly at some point this game looked more like who will get more queens on the board XD

    I don't know what it is with Pragu .. He plays with absolute precision against World's Strongests and yet loses to lower rated players !!!

      @Subharghya Das not win against everyone but have a much better score. U must understand there is a strong tendency in certain players(like Pragg Nepo etc) to rush up, or under calculate or play risky or hope for a blunder etc. When players finally learn to avoid all that they become better players or 'matured' players. Vishy Anand said exactly that on CBI stream regarding Nodirbek. He said that his play got quite matured.

      @Jacob Thomas .. which means "if he wants" he can play equally solid with everyone and win .. isn't it ?

      He plays differently with different opponents. Against Magnus, Pragg plays Solid-ish game with a strong eye on counter-attack. Against comparatively weaker opponents he goes into a more aggressive approach hoping for a blunder which works against 2500s but not 2700s. Example: previous game against Parham. He himself has admitted that in an interview.

      There are no weaker players in this tournament. They are all top predators. Yes there is small differences in rating but if you look at it that way then Prag is a weak player as he has the second lowest rating of the entire ensemble.

    Steel plated nerves from the young master , such complicated position , with so little time , in s critical condition on the tournament and still not letting your emotions get the best of you.

    Never seen a game with so many promotions. Having 2 quuens and still not able to win shows how much grandmasters are superior to regular players.

    Pragg doesn’t fall for Magnus emotional tricks, it’s just a matter of time before he beats him just like Duda
