I have a feeling this is not the last time we see Miaoyi Lu on this channel. She is currently ranked #5 in the world in U12 category. And no, not amongs the girls, top 5 in the world. It probably helped that she finished her last big tournament in Serbia with... 10.5/11 (open section)😮
Actually, even if her mother says that Lu is much stronger than her, she not yet surpassed her. Her mother is WGM Xu Yuanyuan, World U14, U16 and U20 girls chess champion :) She is living in Belgrade 3 years because of Covid, playing 365 days chess, mostly IM and GM Berger round-robin . And when not, we played with her many blitz and rapid tournaments on the weekends.Everybody likes her here :)
@@TrumanBurbonk She wanted to play in may Serbian U12 girls championship in Novi Sad but they did not let her because she is on China rating list.Not to mention,our top girls do not like that 😁
This was one of the most refreshing and beautiful game I've seen in quite a while! Thanks for bringing us this game Agad. Hoping to see more of Miaoyi games in the future!
AGAD, watching this is why we're glad you have the channel as well. My wife always said I have the mind of a 12 year old. I didn't realize this was a compliment until now
Anyone else notice Agad using classy English words like 'bereft', 'nuisance' and 'onslaught'? This video was a masterpiece with a 12 yr old crushing the WGM and Agad bringing even more class to his videos! Well done, Agad!

I love how the 12 year old brings out two pieces and then launches an attack. It's nice to see that hasn't been trained out of her -- until it stops working, let her play her game.
I use to play a guy who did that often. Some of his attacks were brutal, but far more often than not, he lost. I loved defending against those attacks, it was great practice for me. Not so great for him, he rarely won with those attacks..
First time on your channel thanks to Google suggestions. Best explication of a game I've seen. Just so natural, you have the entire game and every possible permutation seemingly stored at instant recall in your brain. Just terrific.
This might be the proudest I've ever been from getting a "pause the video" moment. Not only did I get the one move correct, but I got there from figuring out what the follow up attack was. Beautiful game.
Wow, you are absolutely right. This is something straight out of the Morphy/Anderssen era. I am shocked! Granted that this wasn't a Grandmaster level game, but we still live in the 21st century, not 19th century. 😮
Actually,even if her mother says that Lu is much stronger than her,she not yet surpassed her.Her mother is WGM Xu Yuanyuan, World U14,U16,U20 girls chess champion :)
The reason that games in the 2300-2600 range seem Morphy-esque is because one of the players usually plays a move in the opening that is way down the list of recommendations from Stockfish. Top players stick to the top 2 or 3 moves generally.
That is such a simple and yet complex manner of playing- all done quick sharp, within a few moves with still many pieces remaining. Ruthless. Wouldn’t have thought losing a pawn on c2 would lead to such catastrophic results. You would expect the opposite result. Brilliant.
Wow. I found the winning moves, but the follow up was too complex for me. What a beauty! It's incredible that something like that is even still possible in the age of engines.
Same agad, I don't like the French defence but when I tried to play against it and make a win, it's so satisfying. Anw., that 12 yr. old is a beast attacker!!!
A Bonsai master shapes little trees into beautiful shapes,; a Kamikaze player gives it's own life in service and sacrifice for the good of the many and is honored for it. No disrespect, bit you just gotta get your terms right.
@@icollectstories5702 yeah, but they hang a piece like every 100th game while I do every 5th which makes it so much more demoralizing if you want to become GM
I heard about this girl that goes around tournaments in Serbia with her mother and plays way above what you'd expect for her age. Now I see Dejan's comment below that her mom is actually a really strong player as well.
I never understand how do these young prodigies even exist. Like I know if you start in the age of 5 and have disciplined training it is possible to be reasonably skilled but straight up competing against top players? How do those kids even born with such incredible talent. Always bugs my mind.
lol it's just straight up reckless training popularised by the notion of early career success. Many of these prodigies end up in different fields, using their chess titles as leverage of some sort to get into universities.
I'm a very average player & chess coach of kids 6-13. Each of my five classes has a kid or two that just excel with minimal instruction, and they pick up/memorize tactics at a glance. One who plays one day a week (kid is not allowed to play online, strict parents) smashes everyone who is regularly playing online and otb.
I think it is so interesting that when talking of "opening theory" one can sometimes forget about the bolder player who blasts open the defence, and the surprise element can be worth a lot psychologically. Great game by that bold player of only 12 years of age.
When we say kids are the future, we are not kidding. They are a force to be reckoned with if we encourage and help developing soon in any field. Good job.
I don't often comment and I'd say I don't often bite on sensationalism, but this game is indeed quite brilliant - from both sides. If Mkrtchian didn't find some key defensive ideas the game have been as much of a masterpiece as it is. Bravo to both, especially Lu ofc
This is what my brain thinks it is going to do every time I start doing weird stuff in a match, but after the massive trade-off I'm always down about 10pts of material and have no clever moves. Very cool game!
Has Miaoyi Lu been interviewed about this attack? At what point did she see these winning options? This game is INCREDIBLE. The makers of Queens Gambit must be so bitterly disappointed this game was created too late for them to use.
I left chess for a long time until the St. Louis Chess Club was born. When I returned to chess, these young kids, which we called the prodigies, would completely destroy us old-timers.
What I find super impressive here is that In some case the chess game it's like "ok so from here in the 3rd game of the match x vs y he played the best move ... " here its totally different it's like a pure process thinking in a "difficult decision" to take . I mean for how many times, us, standard chess player were imagining a "winning attack" play to ended up loosing few moves after. Lol nice game

That's always amazing to me, to hear a non-native English speaker using such words correctly. The best at this IMHO is Peter Svidler.

It was trained on her.
It is what engines do some times.
Looks like girl is coached/plays alot with engines.

This was probably her prep.
That was one of the wildest games I've seen! I can't wait to see this kid shine in future events/tournaments
These are the kind of games we need to see instead of known lines. Pure entertainment.

You have discovered a treat
Wow, one of the most beautiful attacks I’ve seen in a long time. Reminds me of Morphy and Tal’s games.
This might be the proudest I've ever been from getting a "pause the video" moment. Not only did I get the one move correct, but I got there from figuring out what the follow up attack was. Beautiful game.
Same. Wonderful line and game

This is why I love chess. When she allows the knight fork, you just know something special is coming, but this........... hats off to her!
Wow. I found the winning moves, but the follow up was too complex for me. What a beauty! It's incredible that something like that is even still possible in the age of engines.
Stunning--thanks so much for sharing this, and for going through all the unstoppables--another brilliant analysis.
I can't stop smiling how beautiful the game for Lu.

This is nearly as dramatic and amazing as Fischer's "Game of the Century." Amazing.

"Incredible onslaught" is an excellent description of this fine game.

And I'm 16, playing chess for 5 years and I still hang pieces.

I like what Stjepan from Hanging Pawns says after his tournaments: Never trust a child's ELO rating.
What impressed me is the comparing the beatiful gentle picture if this young lady and the force of the storm unleashed of the board!
This is really most unbelievable from a child 😳 Stupendous moves and beautiful finale

Thank you agad, with your channel we can have an exellent day at last.... 😃
The attack was sophisticated but felt natural as it was explained.
This is a beautiful game! Thank you for sharing!
Such gorgeous play. What an attack.
Yeah, I think Lilit got a surprise of a LIFETIME! I can only think of one better game and that is the epic game in the Queen's Gambit.
If you had told me that this game was played by Paul Morphy in 1860 I would have had no doubt about it. Such great style and bravery.
That day you hear "the 12-year-old's incredible onslaught." I'm excited to see more attacking chess from Ms. Miaoyi 'Onslaught' Lu!
My head got shooked real bad.12 year old girl played like this. Amazing.
And if you found the winning move - congratulations, you have a mind of 12 year old.
Love it Agadmator! What a terrific chess personality "one in a million"
Damn that was brutal. The coordination of the pieces was like a symphony
For those of you who found it you truly have the mind of a 12 year old
When we say kids are the future, we are not kidding. They are a force to be reckoned with if we encourage and help developing soon in any field. Good job.
Absolute madness, one of the most beautiful games played this year!
According to Wikipedia, Lu Miaoyi (b. March 2010) achieved a peak ELO rating of 2321 in June 2022.
I absolutely love games with poisoned pieces, and that knight vs pawn and rook combo was just too tempting even for a GM. What an amazing game.
For the first time, I've watched an agadmator video twice immediately and subsequently. Wow!
Amazing game. Really enjoyed it. Little Lu has a great talent. Wow
Love today's quote!
Wow. That's...that's the best attacking game I've seen in a while
Speaking as someone who is no longer young, it does my heart good to see young people striving for excellence.
I cried today as my 2.10y daughter said the names of the chess pieces. This video is one of her possible futures 🤩
