Hey man, I don't usually write TH-cam comments but I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos and the way you deliver them, you're a real guy and I respect you for that. Your passion for chess is very cool to share. Good day sir!
Me also I don't subscribe to anyone but just did subscribed to your channel. Your passion shows in your videos and I like your enthusiasm. Plus your dog is cool
Tal to his chess pieces :”Ok troops, we are moving in! Everyone will sacrifice for the greater good! Dont give me that look Queen, you’re going in first!”
I have heard that when one of Karpov's advisors came up with a novel sacrifice, after showing the move, Karpov would say "Where's the win?" as if any sacrifice must preceed a forced win.
It's really appreciated that our agad literally remained the same guy as he was 2 years before. He literally has never asked for subscribing or liking which I like :)
Congradulations on 5000 subscribers! My third favorite chess memory is my blitz game against Karpov where he also played the Caro Khan, so I am appreciated that you showed this game and recalled that wonderful memory again.
Your videos are awesome man! For someone trying to get back into chess and understand concepts, these videos are absolutely amazing! Your speaking is incredibly smooth and easy to follow! I can't appreciate you enough!
5k subs about 2 months ago, now 25k? :o I really like the format, as following these games requires lots of attention it is good they are quite brief at 5 - 10 minutes of length.
Matojelic is still my favorite for quick chess analysis fix. However, others like kingcrusher and chessnetwork go into much more detail so they are catering to a different crowd and you simple can't compare a 5 minute analysis to a 20-30 minute analysis.
Well the thing is Mato doesn't analyse games, he just presents them. Which is still entertaining but in a different way (definitely more enjoyable than just clicking through random games). Kingscrusher and ChessNetwork do analysis. Suren doesn't really, he does other stuff such as presenting games and providing puzzles, which is again just as entertaining but in a different way.
One big reason why you got so many more subscribers now...heck almost 750k....is that you are getting better. It is really a treat to watch your videos, and they're just long enough...but never too long. TU!
Hey agadmator I’m one of good subscriber from a pretty long time. I got back into chess really because of you. As I remember the first video I watched by you is this one. At the moment your channel has reached 957k subs which means sooner you getting 1M. I know you never thought this far when you make this video for 5000 milestone. I just wanna congratulate you for the great achievement. You really deserve this sir! I believe that you make a huge impact in this every single subscribers day today life. & this channel is gonna be the best chess channel all time. Good luck! Keep it up! ❤️
I'm watching this at the end of 2020 - you mentioned in this video you reached 5,000 subscribers. You're now a 905,000 subscribers. I guess this is a pretty successful TH-cam channel. Keep going Antonio. I love the content you provide.
Incredible how u went from 5k subs to well over 1m in less than 4 years, and u changed absolutely nothing about ur channel, just stayed authentic. That’s seriously inspiring
At 4:38, after ...Rxf2, white could also have won with Bh7+, Kxg7 (the only move) ; Qg6+, Kf8 (or Kh8) ; Qg8++. This continuation is superior to Tal's actual move because ,firstly, it's a mate in 3 instead of a mate in 4 and, secondly, and more importantly for Tal, he would have gotten to sacrifice another piece!
Checkmate notation is #. I'm sure there are a lot of inaccuracies and missed winning moves in this game as it was blitz. Less fun to analyze, more fun to watch.
M LSS ikr, I saw that beautiful dark square Bishop sacrifice and forced mate with Queen and light square Bishop and was disappointed Tal didn't see it at the time lol
@ SynsityGW : Go to Wikipedia/chess notation/1.1 notation systems for humans and you will find that there are several systems of chess annotation including algebraic, Smith, descriptive and others. It says in the article, "Moves that result in checkmate can be marked with a "#", "++", or ..." 1-0" or "0-1". While I admit that I conflated the algebraic system for the moved with the old descriptive notation for checkmate, your statement that, "you denote mate with #, not ++" is factually incorrect since several methods of denoting mate are accepted (see Wikipedia article above, or an old chess book). To use chess terminology, I made an inaccuracy or dubious move (?!), while you made a mistake(?).
i'm sure I have watched at least 100 of your videos. while being a mediocre player myself(although I have published a lead article in Chess Life, among other places....) , I think your work here is excellent, really perfectly done: entertaining, yet substantive, deep but not too deep/dense. I think you have a real future bringing chess to americans who, as you know, tend to prefer our "own" sports and activities, rather than get with the rest of the world. congratulations!
I could swear I was subscribed to you. When I went to see how many subscribers you had gained since this video, I noticed that it said I wasn’t subscribed. I fixed that.
Evo ti sub, svaka cast na komentarima, veoma poucno. Engleski ti je odlican, ali po naglasku sam odmah znao da si Hrvat, kao i ja (i ja ga imam XD ) Hvala ti na komentarima:D
I find your channel great, none of the other channels that I have seen present the games in this enjoyable fashion. you have a good voice for commentary. I would like to know your opinion about vishwa anand
It's crazy how you went from 5,000 to 700,000 in just three years, really congratulations

"Mikhail Tal in a blitz game with the white pieces"
It's over
Remember He Played Against Fischer With Wite pieces And he lost.
Yeah but that was fischer not karpov
@@YashPal-gv2ul
Fischer is always an exception. Tal I guess went on to be blitz champion later on although Fischer wasn't active at this point.
@@YashPal-gv2uland he also won againist Fischer during their biggest meetings so I mean
@@universalplayz7496 yep. when fischer was still a teenager
1:48 Mikhail Tal, the only chess player in history that ever pinned a king.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHQHA fuck it man
Leeroy Jenkins Yeah, here he made that mistake several times. Maybe Antonio is slipping a little. He is 33 after all.
Karpov didn't stand a chance
Damn bro... xd
It is pining right?

Tal sacrifices the Queen

@@d33763 😅😅😄
He could sacrifice his king and still beat me
Tal: *sacrifices a rock*
Karpov: i resign in advance but lets keep playing because i am captivated by the show

It's really appreciated that our agad literally remained the same guy as he was 2 years before. He literally has never asked for subscribing or liking which I like :)
He’s the best for that reason alone. But also the best for many other reasons.
"And here actually Tal missed a tactic..."
Nani?!?!
Closing in on a million. Congrats, well deserved.
Great to see this video after you reach 400k!! Congratulations, the quality is the same or even better! Especially with Tal's magic!
5k subs. Yaaaaaaaah! Congrats my man.
Now you're almost at 500k, you deserve it!

Almost at 500k, congrats!!
You are about to join the holy trinity of chess analysis: Mato Jelic, Kingscrusher, Suren. I will call it the Fantastic Four of Chess analysis.
ChessNetwork? Though actually he doesn't really bother uploading anymore.
dubious comment xD jk
Matojelic is still my favorite for quick chess analysis fix. However, others like kingcrusher and chessnetwork go into much more detail so they are catering to a different crowd and you simple can't compare a 5 minute analysis to a 20-30 minute analysis.

M LSS you denote mate with #, not ++
I'm not entirely sure about that. I will have to check, mate. P.S.: Nice hashtag!
