Seen 99% here, first was long before Fischer Saga (around 5y ago). Watched Mato Jelic channel before watched Agad but I found this bit more interesting
Before agadmator I had pretty much lost interest in chess in favor of other hobbies. Now I watch one of his videos almost every day, and I'm studying to play better.
The level of insight you provide for all of your videos allows me to wrap my feeble old brain around the magnificence of these elite players…thank you!!!
I'm surprised that 2 minutes of analysis of the final position never covered Qa4+. It looks like an obvious move that saves your queen and saves the knight. It's still losing by around the same margin, but as a check that solves some of white's immediate problems, I'm surprised it wouldn't be the first move to come to mind.
6…Ng4 was described by Danny King as the Najdo-Grob in his book on the Sicilian for its similarity to the 1…g5 Grob. I only got to play this three times but got some great results. I like a good, fully operational bishop pair.
Nice title for the video, Agad. Incidentally, almost 30 years ago I found someone who looked at me the way MVL looks at the Najdorf. Long story short: I proposed, she accepted, and we have been married for 27 years now. From time to time, she still gives me that MVL type of look.

Love it when you point out some of the pointless positions. The sad thing is when I play online and we reach pointless positions the other guys keep playing and sometimes win on time.
@@pierretchamitchian4399 Once at school, I threw a basket ball over the whole court, one handed, and it went in without even touching the ring. Twice in a row....just because sth is possible, doesn't mean it's very likely.
@@Avus86 Never said it was likely to happen. But MVL is not Fabi. Triciker, and faster on tactics he is. He beat Magnus on his last encounter at SCC, and he beat him last year at the blitz championship. Not gonna act like it was just a fluke.
While watching such a feast I must also eat a fine treat while drink a fine treat, so sticky toffee cake and carmel latte shall be today's accompaniment for the video Edit i finished my cake and coffee right on time, this is the best way to spend Thursday afternoon seeing as it had snowed previously
It's very easy to know who won the game before it finishes as the beautiful thumbnails always show the winner beforehand. Maybe you can make it a little more hard to guess by including both players and not giving too much info in the thumbnail and caption. We greatly appreciate the way you simplify chess for amateurs like me. Wish you many more subscribers and likes Agamator
Agadmator, can you see yourself, ten years from now, with all the chess progress over the years, talking about a game where you say, "And it is of move 26 that we have a completely new game."

Agad has incredible vision, not just over the board, but of the board itself. My eyes aren’t nearly good enough to recognize the 5 pixels to the left that the board was shifted
@@simonx6767 Yeah white ends up down a couple pawns in a rook endgame and is completely lost. Wondering why Agad didn't cover it though since the fork that results in attacking a rook once the queen is captured seems like a great move.
If QA4+ black will block with Queen to B5 threatening mate in b2 white will capture black will capture queen and have pressure on b2 and the knight hanging in f5 knight will retreat to e3, black will capture in b2 and have dark square bishop aiming to the whites king so no way to hold that
I was confused too but after thinking about it more I think the winning line for white after Ne3 is Rxc2 Nxd5, Rxb2 Nxf6+, cxf6 and the position is just lost for white. No matter what you do you're going to end up losing either the a or c pawns or both and the king is trapped on the back rank. I don't see a mate but white would be down at least a couple pawns in a rook endgame with a bad king.
So long since a nice match between Wesley and MVL has been covered by Antonio. I am commenting without even completing it because I know it is a good game.
MVL must be one of the easiest supr GMs in the world to prepare for since he only plays the Sicilian Najdorf against e4 and the Grunfeld against d4. However, it's heroic and admirable for a player to believe in his pet systems as strongly as this
@@juliatruchsess1019 ah, my bad, wrong line. This is the right mate: 1. Re1 Bxc3 2. Rxe7+ Kc6 3. Rxd6+ Kc5 4. Rc7+ Kb5 5. Rb7+ Ka5 no more useful checks 6. Rd5 Rb5# in any case white can't rly chase the king indefinitely, so no draw.
@@malusishangase I guess there's no way to do this move then save the knight and guard against RgxB2, then the pawn on c3 is weak with the bishop on f6 and potential revealed checks/pawn pushes will make the position unplayable
Agad: The board is not where it should be...
Agad: There we go.
Agad's butt engine making him uncomfortable.
“Always in blitz, Knights are tricky bastards,”
Cracks me up, 😂
I was just laughing at that part too! 😄
Found this channel 3 years ago and I’ve seen probably 98% of everything you’ve posted since Agad the god top tier content please keep it up!!!

Thank u Agad, you always make me laugh with your headlines . U bring me joy, knowledge and dedication!
We really want you to show Rashid Nezhmetdinov's game as today is his birthday #suggestion
Agreed
Mvl: Qualifies

Not so fast. The last time MVL and Magnus played in the semis of the speed chess championship MVL won 😅

I want somebody to love me the way Antonio loves the Evans.
It impresses me how So resigned there knowing all the variations Agad explained and acknowledging that MVL will know it as well.
I'm saying "why did he resign ?" Then there is a long list of reasons giving
If you know all the variations, you can bet all your stuff that Maxime knows them as well.
“The knights are tricky bastards”. Truer words in chess have never been spoken
Nice.. I'm getting better and better at this, and knew rook g2 was a crushing move. Great win for Maxime!!
Agad: "In Blitz Knights are always tricky bastards"
the title is hilarious 😂
3:15 this might be the first time ever in the history of TH-cam that someone resisted the urge to describe this as a prophylactic move.
MVL : yaay I won
Congratulation ! As a reward, play against Magnus 🤣
He defeated magnus in last speed chess championship
Caught between a rock and a hard place. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. 😮
This title had me laughing my ass off dude
8:35-8:40 "why this is so".... i see what u did there, buddy
Might be the first time I've heard Agadmator swear.
That title 😂
Love it when you point out some of the pointless positions. The sad thing is when I play online and we reach pointless positions the other guys keep playing and sometimes win on time.

It's gonna be Hikaru vs Magnus. Can't imagine any of those loses.

Agad can u please show to us Aman VS Trent chess boxing bcs I don't see anything about chess
Mvl looks like professor from money heist to me.
Quote by agad ,, knights are tricky bastards " :)
12:05 what the problem with Qa4+?
Qb5 (or you lose the Queen Qx and Tx
Ne3...
What about Qa4 giving check to the black king and then Rd5?
MVL is a greatest blitz player of all time.🌟
A spectacular victory for MVL.🏆

9:18 What happens if white plays Ne3? I want to know
Apparently black just has a winning position after 1.Ne3, Rxc2 2.Nxd5, Rbxb2 3.Nxf6+, exf6. Engine gives -6.
@@simonx6767 Yeah white ends up down a couple pawns in a rook endgame and is completely lost. Wondering why Agad didn't cover it though since the fork that results in attacking a rook once the queen is captured seems like a great move.
Can white not hold with Qa4+??? What am I missing?????
If QA4+ black will block with Queen to B5 threatening mate in b2 white will capture black will capture queen and have pressure on b2 and the knight hanging in f5 knight will retreat to e3, black will capture in b2 and have dark square bishop aiming to the whites king so no way to hold that

bro how can i watch these matches caz in india chessbase india goes live only when indian players r playing
What if knight to e3?
What about Qa4 move with check...how one would progress in that case...If someone knows feel free to share
There is no way to checkmate white queen after queen to a4.Rather black resigns because black will lose queen
what a caption!!!!!
Holy shit. Agad was forced to show mvl in a winning position. How did you make it through this Tony???
What is wrong with white knight to E3 ?
Great work as always, @agadmator
At 7.28 what happens if black play rook captures b2?
Does Antonio have a list of puch lines to use as titles?
9:28 whats bad at knight to e3?
Qa4 + can hold the game, No??
Can someone explain how black pawn on g4 captured white pawn on f4 and moved up a space to f3? Is this some special blitz rule? Timestamp of 4:44
It's a rule called en passant: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant
@@flavioaugustojose I never heard of this before. Thanks for the info!
So long since a nice match between Wesley and MVL has been covered by Antonio. I am commenting without even completing it because I know it is a good game.
q to e4?
how rook b2 @9:43 is a check?
It isn't, probably tony mistakenly said it while he actually mean threatening checkmate on a2.
why 2992?
what if Wesley tries knight e3 instead of resigning!🤔
Hikaru won against MVL
And that kind of blunders should't be analized,or any blitz or bullet game.
Lol why does it sound romantic😸?
Only Fabi has schooled MVL in the Najdorf
MVL must be one of the easiest supr GMs in the world to prepare for since he only plays the Sicilian Najdorf against e4 and the Grunfeld against d4. However, it's heroic and admirable for a player to believe in his pet systems as strongly as this
AlgorithmFood!
I really think MVL deserves a line in the Najdorf Sicilian to be named after him
If he creates a new sustainable idea, I'm sure it will be assigned...
language, please
The commentary was so biased. Even when he was winning, they were still mostly praising Wesley.

First view, comment and like...
First to comment 😊
9:42 rb2 is not check, and white doesn't have to capture the rook, he can play re1, threatening rxe7 check. Probably a draw.
You're not threatening anything with Re1
