What an insane move. All the variations are working perfectly in black's favor. Such a rarity and a massive bravo to Wojtaszek for finding it over the board.
Mikhail tal Once said, When your two pieces are under attack, offer the third one and Opponent can only Accept one piece.Woww somehow it is Tals legacy....Legends never die....
Wojtaszek's intuition (not to mention foresight) in seizing on the weakness of the white squares around White's King reminds me of the famous Robert Byrne-Fischer game from 1963 where Fischer's final move, Qd7, also took advatnage of white square weakness arond White's King. Brilliant move by Wojtaszek!
The level of insanity needed is not just finding the move (which I did like most people), but finding all the correct sequence of subsequent moves...now that is truly insane!!. A contender for game/move of the year and one of the greatest moves! Kudos to Agad for his explanations and his services to Chess for the masses 🤘
Absolutely a brilliant game. Brilliantly brought to life by Antonio. I will come back to this one. No of course I didn't see 50 moves deep. But I did see Q A1 and enough of the combinations to recognise that this must be the move. Would I have found it over the board? Of course not. I needed Agad to tell me that there is a brilliancy here waiting to be found. Without that I doubt that I would even have considered the move. Which is why I don't have a rating while these guys turn out amazing masterpieces
Exactly my thoughts. I found Qa1 because it seemed like a ridiculous move, but I could see a few lines in which it could work out. Even if I found this OTB, I wouldn't have played it because I would be thinking my mind was playing tricks on me. Also, as you said, I would need Agadmator to join in and tell me there's a best move of the year. You miss 1 line and you're just down a queen for rook! Lol
I saw queen to A1, but kissed Bh3 to threaten checkmate. I was fixated on rook to C1, but there were 5 other brilliant moves to find after Bh3. Great game
@9:38 -- We did not see what would happen if the rook on b2 were to move to b1. Wojtaszek still would have won. But he would have had to make no mistakes (assuming that Lazavik also would make no mistakes).
I'm curious: how much time did Wojtaszek spend before finding Qa1? I'd like to know if it was an eureka moment or what because it's such an incredible move!
@v4vun 13 min is incredible!!! But he probably saw that something was going on a couple of moves ahead and allowed Qd4, right. 13 min to perfect the calculation.
I'm very happy I was able to spot this move, but it was really difficult to spot also the continuation. It needs something to sacrifice a full rook to open the bishop
I actually found Qa1 and e5 but in the reverse move order...first e5 then Qa1...but of course didn't see as deep as a legend like Radoslaw. What a game 😮.
Hi Agad! It's my humble request. Please move the black queen to a1 in a slow motion. This is definitely 'Move of the year'. Lots of love for you and for your videos from India.
I found Queen A1 but i did not calculate the entire sequence, i just have good instinct and that seemed like a possibly good forced sequence that could lead to checkmate.
It's true it came up pretty quickly in my list of candidate moves (because I'm a maniac and make wildly unsound sacrifices because I can't help it) but I did not come near to figuring out how to make it work in all variations. I couldn't calculate far enough and for me it looked like white must have an answer somewhere.
Interesting. Still, from an impact standpoint (white can take any of 3 pieces but has to take none) this seems to me to deserve gold coins thrown on the board.
Imagine a beginner in chess and new to the channel seeing blacks move at 5:18. I can only imagine how confused they might be seeing all these other variations until whites actual move is shown over four minutes later haha
At 6:59 why will the queen go to capture the knight ? What if it doesn't ? I saw an escape path for the white king Edit: in the end white has a queen vs 2 rooks and a bishop for black. Losing most probably
First off, those moves were 9 moves apart. Secondly, Qc1 is a perfectly good line, and was Lazavik's attempt to get out of the mountains of Qc2 theory. Thirdly, Rab1 was best.
We should call the nove "the Tal's Heir", since his famous quote "when you have two pieces hanging, hang a third one. Your opponent will have time to capture only one of them"
Qa1 is so brutal in part because it's not just about the one or two tactics. It's everything. It all works. White has no way out. It was also the only winning move for black in that position. Anything else and white is slightly better. Radoslaw found this in 13 minutes.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil women" "Siren alert" "Poison queeny" "No lady for lost bishop"
... On one point of the game... I mean if the game still continued, on 11:55 in the video, you said: " There is no defense against rook F1 ...!" , actually there is on, namely Qh3!!!! I don't know if that will save the game, but ...Please, reply
I found Qa1 reasonably fast on intuition, but the depth as to the variations certainly is beyond my calculation. That being said you’ll lose the game if you don’t try it, and I kinda have a F it mentality, perhaps could get lucky and figure out the right continuation. My initial instinct was definitely to double rooks on back rank which was wrong 😅
What an insane move. All the variations are working perfectly in black's favor. Such a rarity and a massive bravo to Wojtaszek for finding it over the board.
Lazavik :- take my bishop
Wojtaszek :- Sure will do , now will you please take my queen 😊
Tal and Nez would be proud of that move...pure inspiration....genius
Sorcery alert!!!
Don't be cruel. He's clearly a Waldo doppelganger
So happy you chose to show this insane masterpiece
No one cares dude

If only Agad can see 50 moves into the future, imagine the kind of games we're gonna get to witness. xD
Agad use engines😁 of course
Absolutely a brilliant game. Brilliantly brought to life by Antonio. I will come back to this one.

Same haha. I didn't see many of these lines and wouldn't have found it without being told but I still found it!
Wojtaszek played it like a professor. Chapeau bas!
I have never seen a game like this !
Extremely outstanding
That was AMAZING!!! And yes, knights are tricky bastards.😅 I'm contributing to your channel for that phrase.
What a savage move
Definitely not clickbait, Antonio. This is truly spectacular, and your analysis is thorough and self-explanatory, as usual. Thanks a lot for this one.
Knight is a tricky baastaard 😂😂😂. Agad you made my day 😊
😂
I saw queen to A1, but kissed Bh3 to threaten checkmate. I was fixated on rook to C1, but there were 5 other brilliant moves to find after Bh3. Great game
I found Qa1 but it’s so difficult to grasp just how good that move is. Like wow, incredible game
I found it only because agad mentioned a queen sac earlier. And it took me a lot longer than a few seconds.
Would I have found it over the board? No.
i love it when agad passionately shares amazing chess games with us.
‘Sensational’ is indeed the perfect description for this mastery.
Incredible 😊
Brilliant commentary focusing on that brilliant move. Thanks
I just want to say, I really love all of ag's videos. But the ones I love the most are him playing chess. hope he does more of those soon
will do!
Same here
That was truly sensational
12:06 rook captures g1 :D i like it
Amazing game! What a study on how to deal with a sacrifice in an insane technical defense. Just shaking my head
Odlican content pravis rodjeni svaka ti cast 👍
It must be an amazing feeling to find a move like that over the board. I have never come close to finding a move that good,
@9:38 -- We did not see what would happen if the rook on b2 were to move to b1.
Wojtaszek still would have won. But he would have had to make no mistakes (assuming that Lazavik also would make no mistakes).
I am proud to have found the move. More importantly I also saw the lines. My Saturday has been improved!!
thank you for sharing this agadmator. You are my favorite chess channel
What a beautiful move! Otherwise I couldn't calculate. Thanks a million.
This is the love from Myanmar 🇲🇲
Your opponent asking "what else do you want to do?" is nightmarish.
Sensational move. Move of the year for sure.
Beautiful. I saw Qa1, but couldn't calculate past Bf1 after RxQa1. Grandmasters are on another level
Could you please do a video on the endgame between Shirov and Abdusattorov? I think us patzers can learn a lot from that endgame!
Man it wasnt even Qa1 that quaked my entire brain cells, it was the maddening continuation!!! ❤❤❤
I'm curious: how much time did Wojtaszek spend before finding Qa1? I'd like to know if it was an eureka moment or what because it's such an incredible move!
13 minutes
@@v4vun nice, thanks! Where did you find this info?
@juan I was about to ask the exact same thing.
@v4vun 13 min is incredible!!! But he probably saw that something was going on a couple of moves ahead and allowed Qd4, right. 13 min to perfect the calculation.
Brilliant!
Wow!!! 😮
At last a truly amazing game!!! Genius
What a sequence spotted by Radaslaw... Impressive 👍
4:08 how can he win the material back kne4 can simply defend the rook and the pawn will defend the knight. What's the point of bishop sacrifice?
I'm very happy I was able to spot this move, but it was really difficult to spot also the continuation. It needs something to sacrifice a full rook to open the bishop
Pure classic masterpiece 🎉
Absolutely stunning! What a moveeee
Maravillosa partida
Nice Game love watching the ingenuity of the Grandmasters this was a Great example for sure
!!! - Immortal move
I actually found Qa1 and e5 but in the reverse move order...first e5 then Qa1...but of course didn't see as deep as a legend like Radoslaw. What a game 😮.
There are no words in cultural people dictionary to describe how spectacular this move is...
Hi Agad! It's my humble request. Please move the black queen to a1 in a slow motion. This is definitely 'Move of the year'. Lots of love for you and for your videos from India.
I really want to know how much time he spent befor playing the move Qa1!!
Just amazing. !!!
I found Queen A1 but i did not calculate the entire sequence, i just have good instinct and that seemed like a possibly good forced sequence that could lead to checkmate.

brilliant!!
I am even impressed by Lazavik who found that rook capturing the queen on a1 loses 😅
What a move ! thanks for sharing this wonder
Any engine rated 2300 finds this move within milliseconds (depth 6), which suggests that pretty much any strong player can find it too.
Interesting. Still, from an impact standpoint (white can take any of 3 pieces but has to take none) this seems to me to deserve gold coins thrown on the board.
Imagine a beginner in chess and new to the channel seeing blacks move at 5:18. I can only imagine how confused they might be seeing all these other variations until whites actual move is shown over four minutes later haha
The best powerful move in chess is 'not' to have the next move, but to have the next 'check!'
What a move!
At 6:59 why will the queen go to capture the knight ? What if it doesn't ?
I saw an escape path for the white king
Edit: in the end white has a queen vs 2 rooks and a bishop for black. Losing most probably
BEAUTIFUL
Wow..dont mess with Radoslaw
Lazavik did two stupid moves early on, almost at the same time. Qc1 and then Rab1. It means he was lost already. At 03:19 in the video.
First off, those moves were 9 moves apart. Secondly, Qc1 is a perfectly good line, and was Lazavik's attempt to get out of the mountains of Qc2 theory. Thirdly, Rab1 was best.
Brutality! Wow, that was an amazing move.
This game always surprise us with infinite conclusions !
Chess is not a new game ,but still manage to give us surprise and pleasure:)
Some people just think differently
We should call the nove "the Tal's Heir", since his famous quote "when you have two pieces hanging, hang a third one. Your opponent will have time to capture only one of them"
Its a shame that Agad doesn’t do a whats the sorcery series. It would be a good candidate for that
The ''Radoslaw'' what a sneaky slippery develish move.
What a game 😮🔥
Qa1 is so brutal in part because it's not just about the one or two tactics. It's everything. It all works. White has no way out. It was also the only winning move for black in that position. Anything else and white is slightly better. Radoslaw found this in 13 minutes.
It's amazing what they can see when everything else is obviously losing.
Oh my what a reverse queen sac to checkmate white! I ❤ it!
Amazing😍
Very cool queen sac! I found the move but not the full continuation.
What an absolutely beautiful Queen sacrifice!
I found Q1.. but couldn't calculate that it was that much accurate and winning... Brilliant game 🎯

Pause at 5:00
I found Qa1, I'm so proud of myself lol (Although Agad gave us a hint by mentioning a queen sac)
White rook: *takes the queen*
White king: "Am I a joke to you?"
... On one point of the game... I mean if the game still continued, on 11:55 in the video, you said: " There is no defense against rook F1 ...!" , actually there is on, namely Qh3!!!! I don't know if that will save the game, but ...Please, reply
After the move Qa1, what follows is synonymous to a “Nuclear Winter” for white! 🤔 There’s only one thing in the aftermath, losing!
Spectacular. Usually I can find your key move though I can't work out all the consequences. This time I was nowhere near.
What happens if you move rook from b2 to d2 right after the QA1 move?
Great delivery by Agad as usual. This chess channel is 2nd to none.
I got the pause the video moment but over the board I wouldn't have seen that in a million years
Incredible
Masterful
If this line is of yours "knight is a tricky bastrd", you've just made History, as this will enter the books..!!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂
I found Qa1 reasonably fast on intuition, but the depth as to the variations certainly is beyond my calculation. That being said you’ll lose the game if you don’t try it, and I kinda have a F it mentality, perhaps could get lucky and figure out the right continuation. My initial instinct was definitely to double rooks on back rank which was wrong 😅
Amazing is an understatement...
I saw the Queen sac but couldnt see the pawn moves hindering the king from escape.
