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.
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!
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
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 🤘
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'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 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.
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
At the end of the year you could make a Top 2023 Agadmator Chess Prize: - movement of the year (like this one) - game of the year - more interesting player in the year (like was Dubov some time ago) - best theory improvement - etc. #suggestion
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 😮.
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"
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.
@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).
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"
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
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.
Sorcery alert!!!
Don't be cruel. He's clearly a Waldo doppelganger
So happy you chose to show this insane masterpiece

Queen a1!! Absolutely brilliant. What vision. Genius move. Definitely the move of the year.
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

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.
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.
‘Sensational’ is indeed the perfect description for this mastery.
That was truly sensational
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 love it when agad passionately shares amazing chess games with us.
I am proud to have found the move. More importantly I also saw the lines. My Saturday has been improved!!
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
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,
Sensational move. Move of the year for sure.
12:06 rook captures g1 :D i like it
!!! - Immortal move
Amazing game! What a study on how to deal with a sacrifice in an insane technical defense. Just shaking my head
Man it wasnt even Qa1 that quaked my entire brain cells, it was the maddening continuation!!! ❤❤❤
What a move!
Wow!!! 😮

Absolutely stunning! What a moveeee
Could you please do a video on the endgame between Shirov and Abdusattorov? I think us patzers can learn a lot from that endgame!
Wow..dont mess with Radoslaw
What a sequence spotted by Radaslaw... Impressive 👍
Your opponent asking "what else do you want to do?" is nightmarish.
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

The ''Radoslaw'' what a sneaky slippery develish move.
Pure classic masterpiece 🎉
I am even impressed by Lazavik who found that rook capturing the queen on a1 loses 😅
Beautiful. I saw Qa1, but couldn't calculate past Bf1 after RxQa1. Grandmasters are on another level
Just amazing. !!!
At last a truly amazing game!!! Genius
What a beautiful move! Otherwise I couldn't calculate. Thanks a million.
This is the love from Myanmar 🇲🇲
BEAUTIFUL
Brilliant!
“The knight of course is a tricky bastard” 😂
This game always surprise us with infinite conclusions !

brilliant!!
Nice Game love watching the ingenuity of the Grandmasters this was a Great example for sure
If this line is of yours "knight is a tricky bastrd", you've just made History, as this will enter the books..!!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂
There are no words in cultural people dictionary to describe how spectacular this move is...
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"
Incredible
best move I have seen in a while.
Masterful
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.
Amazing is an understatement...
Oh my what a reverse queen sac to checkmate white! I ❤ it!
Its a shame that Agad doesn’t do a whats the sorcery series. It would be a good candidate for that
I got the pause the video moment but over the board I wouldn't have seen that in a million years
Amazing😍
White rook: *takes the queen*
White king: "Am I a joke to you?"
What a game 😮🔥
Spectacular. Usually I can find your key move though I can't work out all the consequences. This time I was nowhere near.
@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 found Qa1, I'm so proud of myself lol (Although Agad gave us a hint by mentioning a queen sac)
The best powerful move in chess is 'not' to have the next move, but to have the next 'check!'
What a move ! thanks for sharing this wonder
Magnificent
I found Q1.. but couldn't calculate that it was that much accurate and winning... Brilliant game 🎯
What a game - fantabulous
Brutality! Wow, that was an amazing move.
Wow, that was a rad one
What an incredible game!
I really want to know how much time he spent befor playing the move Qa1!!
13 min
Amazing move
The Joshua Waitzkin queen check.
Very cool queen sac! I found the move but not the full continuation.
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.
Chess is not a new game ,but still manage to give us surprise and pleasure:)
2 Poles in a row ❤
What an absolutely beautiful Queen sacrifice!
After the move Qa1, what follows is synonymous to a “Nuclear Winter” for white! 🤔 There’s only one thing in the aftermath, losing!
Radoslaw played the blunder I regularly do with queen :)
Gotta love the queen sac.
How, amazing.
Radoslaw being vishy's second for a long time is paying dividend.
POISON QUEEN!! Insane
#suggestion Keymer vs Idani, Round 3 of FIDE Grand Swiss.
Beautiful elegant queen sacrifice from Vincent against a violent attack by Idani
That was a beautiful game
Damn Radoslav go hard
The best moves are the hardest to find
"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"
The tricky bastard Knight is the hero I would say 😂...standing between black king and white Queen and preventing the check 🎉
