Pragana Nandha with another masterpiece, this time a tactical one against India's Ravi Teja. Pragana tells us how he did it. Pragana, last few games we've been seeing some positional, strategic masterpieces from you. Today, more aggressive. Yeah, today he played Catalan, which I was not expecting because he played it last 2016, I don't know, one game he played. So, here I went for this line, which Dingler and actually played it in World Cup. After that, a lot of people started playing this line. I also played once before, I think in World Youth, and I was better in that game, but I made a draw. Here, yeah, today I decided to try this line. With H5? Yeah, H5. With H5 you took about 10 minutes, you had prepared this or? I forgot during the game, I forgot this B3 move. I saw some games with Queen D5, maybe in this tournament somewhere. You mean B3, Queen D5 here? Yeah, I don't remember. I think it was, basically, Ivan Chuk's game in the first round. I think it was Ivan Chuk's game, yes. But you had prepared H5 for this? Yeah, I think so, but I forgot, I didn't check this line today and... But after H5, it just collapsed immediately, you know? Yeah, I think there is some more like Queen C2 and some H4, Knight F3, if I remember correctly. And H5 also there is Queen E2, but yeah... You want to go H4 anyway? Yeah, anyway H4, yeah, try to do something here. But he blended with F3. And he took a while, no? He took 7 minutes. So when he played F3, did you think that maybe Knight E3 was... I mean, did you think he missed something? No, first I thought like maybe he was still in some preparation and didn't want to show that. So I took a lot of time to play Knight E3, I saw Knight E3 immediately but... You took 24 minutes here? Yeah, because I just wanted to check everything. Yeah, that it's no trap or... So you took Knight E3? The idea is that the Knight and the Rook both are hanging. Yeah, even T3, I was also thinking Knight E4, Queen A1 and Queen C2. Can you take on E5? Then Bishop B2. Okay, and you have to go Queen B5. But then Bishop G3... Knight F6 is coming. Yeah, but still I should be okay with rook G8, Knight F6, King E7 but... So what did you have in mind for Knight E4? Yeah, Queen A1, Queen C2, then I just thought okay, I'll go Queen D4. Okay, making sure the Bishop doesn't get active. Yeah, also if Queen C6 then... I have Queen D7 but also... Bishop D7 should also be okay. We find him. Yeah, if Rook D1 then Queen B6 comes. Right. So you did not want to activate the Bishop by taking on E5. Also it doesn't look like it's enough compensation for White here, no? Yeah, it should be better for Black but... Yes, something, F4, F7 would come. Here I was first thinking it would be 6, just to defend C6. But then F4 I didn't like. Oh, for Black. And you're just getting F5 then? Yeah, F5 comes, I can't go Queen D4, Rook D1 is there. Yeah, he's just defending me. But I saw Queen D4 then I was fine. Yeah, and then he played A3 here. Yeah, I went A3, now I do corner the 20 minutes. I didn't know what to do. I was first thinking Bishop C3 but then... What was that? Yeah, he just goes King G2. Oh, wow. So Queen E3 he's got 94 and if he moves... Yeah, Bishop A1. Bishop A1. Then I see 2. And you take? Queen E5, Rook E1. So you have to go Queen F6. No, Queen F6 is 94. So I was thinking Queen C3, QB3. QB1, QD1, Rook D1. Rook D1. QB1, Knight C2. Bishop B3. Yeah, B3, Knight C3, Bishop C2 and Rook E1. And then the problem is... Let's say King D3, then... Then Bishop B2. Yeah. So I didn't take this one. I was thinking Queen E3 but... But he goes King G2. Yeah, Bishop E7 or... Yeah, Bishop E7 I need to go. If Bishop D2 then I didn't like Bishop D2 because... Take Queen B3. It's better for black but... Yeah, Bishop might come to B4 and it's not so clear. Yeah. So let's say Bishop E7. Then I was thinking... What if Bishop E7 directly because I get a tempo? And you're still attacking the two pieces. Yeah, because... Let's say if he goes Rook A2 then just Queen E3. King G2 and then... Here he doesn't need to play Rook A2 at all. So I... Here it's better for black. But even Queen C2. Which was interesting because Queen A1, Bishop B2 comes. Queen A2, Rook A1. So your queen is getting trapped here. Yeah. So you can't do that. So I took Queen E3, King G2. And H4 was really nice just opening up the... Yeah, I could have just played Bishop D5 here. But yeah, he goes Bishop B2, Rook E1. Rook E1 is coming in so you decided to go for the direct. Also there was Queen E2 but I didn't really find the first one. King G1. Yeah, because Queen E1 just knight F1. Yeah, Queen E1, knight F1 and then Bishop B2 comes. Should be better for black with some Queen E5, Queen C5. You've got the two bishops and... I was thinking H4 was more direct. Right. It's also very tempting to play a move like H4. Yeah, I was very tempted that's why I just went for H4. Queen C6, Bishop D7. Bishop D7. If Queen E4, then Queen C3. If I get Hg3 then this Rook will... Yeah, Bishop H3, Rook's coming in. Another like Rook A2. Then Hg3. King g3, then Rb6 was fine. Yeah, this is nice. This piece you don't expect coming into attack. Yeah, then Rg6. Very nice line. Even Knight E4. First I was thinking just Queen b6 and Rg6. Yeah, I'm winning b3. He has to go g4 I think. Okay, b4 then he opens this H-file. Yeah, it looks like it looks quite bad for white here. Yeah, it should be better for black. Better for black. What happened at the end then finally over here? I just took on b3. Yeah, and take-take. Yeah, I just need to calculate sometimes but it was just winning. Yeah, this is already... And now... You played your third Indian. Yeah. Having an Indian national championship here. Yeah, yeah actually. I didn't even just win. First I was... I thought this position was winning and then I suddenly saw Bishop d2, Rc6. Rkb1 and I mean I just... Rb8 is coming. Then Rb8, Bx8. Yeah, and everything's... So this bishop spins. It's a big blunderer finally. And it was interesting that you took your time to find it right and you were able to... Happy with today's game and the way things have gone so far. Except the first round. Except the first round everything. Yeah, I didn't play well. Yeah, but otherwise after that you picked up... We also read that you were not feeling too well before coming here. Yeah, I feel in the chronic camp which I had to leave. And did he... Yeah, maybe you should... If it's not... If you have favour for like... Till Giprata then just... Skip it. Are you feeling better now? Yeah, it's better. Your games are going well. Then all the best for the remaining rounds and hopefully we'll have you back in our studio. Thank you.


South Africa's ex-president Jacob Zuma made his first public appearance since his release from prison on medical parole last month to lay charges against a chief state prosecutor in his corruption trial. Zuma went to a police station where he is on trial for corruption to open a criminal case against Advocate Billy Downer for allegedly leaking his current state of health to the media. The former president was accompanied by one of his daughters. In July, Zuma was found guilty of a contempt of court for ignoring a separate inquiry into mass looting of public funds during his rule.


Let's identify the sound segments exhibited in the following spectrogram. Maybe you want to pause the video here to use the printout and try on your own first. Okay, and this is how I would approach the analysis. The spectrogram obviously exhibits two parts separated by a considerable portion of silence. Both parts have a final voiceless fricative with high frequency friction noise, thus they are likely to be voiceless alveolar fricatives. Each part involves a relatively long vowel of about 250 milliseconds. The first vowel has a low F1 value and a high F2 value, so it looks like an E. The second vowel must be a low one, that is R or O, since its first two formants are close together and can be located at around 600 and 1000 hertz. The initial elements of both parts must be voiceless plosives, which are both aspirated. They both exhibit a significant burst. The burst frequency of both plosives involves a wide frequency range, but the first one is slightly lower than that of the second, so they must be different. And the first one looks like a bilabial plosive, the second one must be alveolar. This frequency difference can also be seen in the different F2 origins of the vowel that follows. And then there is another plosive before the final fricative. It involves a high frequency burst and must thus be vela. So the result is clear. I said peace talks.


What's your name? My name is Cameron Dennis. And where are you from? I'm from London, England. Okay, what did you choose to take as a full course here in Buenos Aires? I just finished school and I wanted to take myself out of my comfort zone and come to a new city, hopefully learn a new language and kind of impart my language upon other people. It's something I'm very passionate about. Okay. Do you prefer to teach children or adults? What do you think? I've practised both since I've been here and practised and enjoyed both. I thought I connected better with the adults because I could use a wider range of material that not only interested them but also interested me. But I still enjoyed teaching the children and I thought that was quite fun and it was enjoyable planning for those lessons and connecting with the kids. Okay. Do you think this course has helped you with the planning of lessons? Yeah, absolutely. All of the ground has been really useful and it's kind of opened my eyes to all the intricacies of English that you need to know to teach it and the structure we've been taught for planning lessons, not only. And then we also got a chance to observe lessons and practise lessons so I think I'm a lot better at learning lessons now than I was when I was a kid. Okay. Overall, what do you think of this course? Will it help you in the future? Yeah, no, of course. It's been so useful. It helped me for these next few months while I'm in Buenos Aires, hopefully teaching English. But also, I think for the rest of my life and whatever I choose to pursue, it's kind of helped my confidence within that field. I mean, my communication's got a lot better, I think, since I've been here. Yeah, it'll help me endlessly. Okay. Thank you.


Hey Miyamoto, you want to put me in charge of this, of the negotiation? You're really that worth, okay? All right, fine, fine. I'll get Capcom on the phone. We'll make it happen, okay? I don't know how, okay? That's what you hired me for, right? Okay, Miyamoto, calm down, calm down. Go back and work on the Mario movie. We got some deals to work out here, okay? There's so much panic over these purchases. I don't know if this is a good idea, but... Hey Kenzo! Dude, how's it going? Oh, I'm Nate. Yeah, I work at Nintendo. Yeah, I got your number literally directly from the CEO. Yeah, dude, Ferco's a great guy. So, look, I got a proposition for you, okay? Nintendo is a little worried about these acquisitions that have been going on lately. You know, they've lost quite a bit of third-party games, especially from Microsoft, right?  Yeah, dude, they're losing out on some major third-party games that we're getting, you know, Spyro and Crash and Doom and all that. So, no, no, we're not worried about you getting purchased by others. I appreciate it, Kenzo, that you are not taking acquisition requests at this time. No, Sony, Buying Bungie doesn't really matter to us. That's Sony worrying about their own hide over there, but I got a proposition for you. Kenzo, relax, relax. I know, okay? We're not worried we're about to lose Capcom games. Like, duh, we could work out another Monster Hunter deal, right? Like, we're all... Yeah, okay, so I got something better for you than a Monster Hunter deal. How's $5.2 billion sound? Oh, for the whole company. Yeah, yeah, Nintendo's that serious. We're willing to take half of our cash assets right now and buy Capcom, make you part of Nintendo's team. Oh, don't worry, you can still make third-party games for the first two years. Yeah, no, let's lock this deal in so you won't, you're not even going to bring this to your investors. What's it going to take? The release date of Breath of Wild 2. Do you want me to give you confidential information about the release date? Hold on, let me put you on hold. Hey, Anuma, how's it going? Yeah, remember? I was just hired yesterday. I'm Nate. Yeah, yeah, you know, that YouTuber, Nintendo Prime, yeah. Okay, look, dude. So I need to know the release date for Breath of Wild 2. And no, it's not because I'm leaking it on my YouTube channel. There's no breaking reports here. I need to know it. We need this for the Capcom deal. They just want to know the CEO, Kenzo Buddy, he's really asking. He won't broach the investors unless I tell him that release date because he really wants to play that game. By the way, oh, no, okay, okay, can I know the title? I got to give him something. That's the title. Okay, calm down. Keep professional. Nate, look, look, Anuma, I need that release date. Don't worry, I'll make him sign a confidentiality agreement. Okay. All right, gotcha. All right, yep. Thank you, man. Bye. Kenzo, my guy. Hey, it's Nate again. I got that release date for you. Ready? Ready? Yeah, I know. Crazy, I know. Crazy, right? Okay, so we got a deal then, right? 5.1 billion. You got me, right? I said 5.2. All right, all right. Yeah, 5.2. Are we good then? You're going to bring that through your investors? We're going to lock this in? Yeah, we'd like to make a press release tomorrow if we could. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Oh, you, you have a wonderful day yourself. All right, no, Nintendo did not just buy Capcom for $5.2 billion, but it almost sounded believable. Didn't it? Not maybe my little skit, but the actual headline, right? It sounded like a believable headline. Nintendo buys Capcom for $5.2 billion. And you know why it sounds believable? Microsoft bought Zenimax for $7, whatever, billion, billion, billion, billion dollars. And yeah, they just obviously bought Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion. Oh, and then Sony just bought Bungie for $3.6 billion. So while money's flying around, it would seem only logical that Nintendo needs to answer because they are losing third-party, multi-platform games. Although they did just get MLB, the show 22, that's right. It's coming to Switch April 5th. There's going to be a PlayStation studio game launching day and day on Switch. And it's got full cross-platform play with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, which is insane to me because that should mean that we don't have a lot of compromises in this game, especially from the framerate perspective because framerates can obviously affect gameplay, although I expect some visual downgrades and stuff. But still, that's really, really big news. But how many more of these multi-platform games can we really expect? I mean, sure, we got Skywalker, Saga coming out, the Lego Star Wars game. Obviously, we are going to have Gollum and other things coming to Switch this year. NBA 2K should as well. But how long before all these studios are bought up? And then suddenly, the fight is over. Who can just make the most games for their given platform? Very interesting to think about because that might be the future we're heading for. Now, why won't these sales get blocked? Because obviously, it has to form a monopoly. And if there's multiple companies able to buy up studios and get exclusive games, that's not what a monopoly is. You can call it a duality if you want. Pennsylvania, Microsoft, but then there's Nintendo, that third company in. And still some major third-party multi-platform companies out there from Ubisoft and 2K. I'm sorry, Take Two, I think is what they're going to call Take Two Interactive. That's 2K. That's one of their studios. Anyways, Take Two Interactive and EA. And everything else in between. The Tencent is floating out there as one of the richest companies in the world in video games. So there are so many options out there at this exact time for video games and video game makers. This isn't even getting into the mobile phone market as well, which is actually bigger than the home console market. Invalve with Steam and everything, and the Steam Deck coming out. There's actually quite a bit of competition. So that's why none of these acquisitions are monopolies, but it does make you wonder, when's Nintendo going to actually respond, and what are they actually going to do? Now, I don't think Nintendo is going to make a Capcom level acquisition as much as a lot of you guys would like to see them do. Nintendo does have about $10 billion sitting in a bank, so they have the capital to buy Capcom that's worth about $5 billion in the market at this time, but that would require investors wanting to sell. So what companies could Nintendo realistically purchase? Well, they're not going to be companies that are exciting. They're actually not going to be companies that even move the needle. I'll give you one example of one company I do think Nintendo is just going to naturally buy out in the next three years, Grezzo. Grezzo has been making a ton of Nintendo games from porting over Metopia and obviously Ocarina of Time and Majora's Master 3D, but we also can't forget their work on Link's Awakening as well, and oh, the Switch version, and oh by the way, they help make Triforce Heroes. Grezzo has essentially been doing what Next Level Games was doing for many, many years and making games almost exclusively for Switch. They do have a couple side projects of indie games they've been making for other platforms, but reality is most of Grezzo's work has been for Nintendo. So it's a natural acquisition partner in the future like Next Level Games was for them to do it, and that's the thing. Nintendo does buy out companies like this. Next Level Games, Retro Studios, believe it or not, they bought Retro Studios for $1 million, right? What a small amount of money considering the quality of games they've put out. And you know, obviously they bought Monolith Soft from Bandai Namco. It was originally an independent company bought by Bandai that became Bandai Namco, then Nintendo bought them out in 2007. Fun little history there. I also think that there's that little studio inside the Square Enix making games like Project Triangle Strategy coming up, make games like Octopath Traveler, that little tiny studio there that makes bravely default as well. That could be a studio that Nintendo context Square Enix and go, hey, how much to buy that studio and the talent associated with it. Nintendo could make a smart purchase like that. But when I say smart purchases, these are low risk, low reward purchases. You're not really gaining a lot by buying these companies over what's already here, just higher profit margins on the games they're already making. So what can Nintendo do to answer? The question I think is the other way around. Microsoft is making acquisitions because they're trying to answer Sony and Nintendo. What are they trying to answer? The fact that those platforms have tons and tons and tons of exclusive games. Look at the top 10 best selling games on Switch. Even Sony wishes they could pull the numbers Nintendo's doing. But that's because Nintendo is massively successful with their currently existing games. The problem we have to worry about is the future. And we know that there's more acquisitions coming. Sony's Jim Ryan has already come out today to say Sony is not done with their acquisitions, meaning they obviously have deals in the works with other companies that just aren't finalized yet. And Jeff Keely came out and actually said that he's aware of several acquisition deals that are in the final stages of negotiations. He won't say who they're in the final stages of negotiations with, whether it's Sony who Jim Ryan confirmed, Microsoft who we know is willing to make deals. And then obviously there's Nintendo floating out there. We don't really know who's looking to buy who, but we know that it is happening. Vivendi famously, infamously I suppose, tried to take over Ubisoft and failed. So there's a lot of companies out there. I believe it was Tencent who now has a major stake in Epic Games. If they don't outright own Epic Games, I kind of forget how that deal worked out. And I don't really care to Google it up because I don't care that much about Tencent and Epic Games despite Fortnite and obviously the Unreal Engine. So my whole thing about all these acquisitions is this. Nintendo will have to do something at some point. What they have to do, I don't know. People think Microsoft should be buying out, you know, something like Platinum Games or some sort of Japanese studio, which it's very hard for an American company to buy out a Japanese company. There's a lot of laws and a lot of ins and outs with that. But what is possible is obviously Nintendo buying out Japanese companies and then also buying out some Western ones. The thing is Nintendo isn't Microsoft. They don't have a market cap of over two trillion dollars. They're not even Sony who has a market cap over 140 billion dollars. However, I will say this. Despite Sony's market cap, their gaming sector only makes up about 14 billion dollars of that market cap. Nintendo's actually got a significantly higher market cap primarily off video games than Sony does. So while Sony has been market leaders and all this stuff, Nintendo actually makes more money off gaming than Sony does. And it's not really even close. So if Sony is willing to make a $3.6 billion purchase, there's no reason Nintendo couldn't consider something like that. The thing is, what makes sense? There's a lot of companies. You guys could probably throw it down in the comments. If I throw out one company you wish Nintendo would purchase down in the comments below, I'm very curious to actually hear your thoughts on all of this because I'm not so sure Nintendo needs to respond anytime soon. I think this is obviously a competitive thing happening right now. Sony and Microsoft gobbling up companies and Nintendo sitting there like, hey, we're really good at what we got and we don't really need anybody else.  Maybe Sega is something to consider. Although Sega is a little difficult because it's Sega Sammy. It's a combo corporation. Could they purchase just the Sega side of it, which would be cheaper? Or would they have to purchase the overall company, which does do more than video games? There's a lot to consider in a purchase like that. But the thing is, I don't know that Nintendo is willing to take such a risk. Nintendo has never made a massive purchase that is in the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars into the billions. We're talking about Nintendo making a purchase that is very un-Nintendo-like. But would they reap a lot of benefits from it? Let's say they did buy out Capcom for 5.2 billion dollars. They would now own the Monster Hunter franchise. That IP alone could make Nintendo billions of dollars, right? Mega Man. Maybe on Nintendo exclusive could actually end up selling even better. Now these Kirby numbers, if not better than that, there's a lot of things to consider when making acquisitions.  They do have a very business-oriented CEO. Right now, Shintaro Furukawa is a business-first CEO. So he's aware of what's happening in that gaming landscape and wondering when Nintendo needs to respond. These acquisitions won't affect Nintendo's immediate, but it could affect their next platform in some negligible ways. That's not going to stop the fact that people want to play Nintendo games. But can Nintendo make enough games for all time as these other platforms continue to gobble up more and more and more studios? That has yet to be determined. Anyways, folks, you guys let me know what you think about all this down in the comments below. Did you enjoy my little skit today? I was trying to have some fun. You guys are awesome, and I'll catch you in the next video.
