Agadmator has improved my vocabulary as well as my increasingly vast chess knowledge. His position as the best chess channel on you tube is unassailable!
#suggestion Capablanca treybal in karlsbad 1929 when Capa found all the only moves allowing him to win in a 99.99999% drawish position. Insane end game in the most locked position ever. One of the capa' s masterpiece. Cheers
I've gotten so that I smile every time Agadmator says, "Sorry about that," and turns down the volume. I don't know why, exactly. I like the familiarity of it. It's like an inside joke between old friends.
People : old days were so good, there were not a lot draws, but people are making alot of draws in WCC matches nowadays (2016, 2018) Capablaca- Lasker WCC (1921): hold my games
A whole announcement video about a fascinating word that we're going to hear in future videos! 😁 I must say "unassailable" is a powerful word to describe such positions as and when they're encountered. Keep up the good work.
Agadmator - I am very impressed about your vast knowledge of the English language. You not only understand rare words like unassailable, but you use vernacular and sayings that I thought only native English speakers would know. Props to you!
oh man, it isn't only about expanding our vast knowledge... but also mastering the instinct! I've come here faster than my subscriptions could even tell me... oh yeaaaah!
That's a bit of an annoying draw, just as it was getting fascinating! Those knight manouvres by Capablanca are amazing: he pictured the knight on its final location about 10 moves in advance and then worked out how to get it there. Incredible vision.
@agadmator Perhaps you have heard the personal form of "unassailable." In America, we often hear about the "assailant" when referring to a criminal who has attacked someone. The descriptive form seems less common. You might hear in history class about a Medieval fortress being unassailable.
Here's some wisdom for the aspiring initiate: if you really are serious about getting better at chess, then focus on learning visualization and calculation. Clarity of vision of the chessboard in the mind is THE defining measure of strength in chess. There are good and important books about chess calculation and visulization, google it and check youtube for resources and exercises. It's hard work, and that's why there are only few good players. But this is what chess really is all about, and without this skill you will never acquire mastery.
I can recommend Jacob Aagaard (2004). Excelling at Chess Calculation as a good place to start. But perusing TH-cam on the subject, and working with the recommended exercises, will definitely help too. Learn what stepping stones are, and practise getting as clear a mental picture as possible of positions a few moves ahead, for instance by solving studies without a board.
Weird, when I looked it up in Encyclopedia Britannica it said: a term coined by Christopher Columbus when the Santa Maria ran aground at Hispaniola and he declared, "Mam mia, now my ship she is unassailable!"
In French we have the verb "assaillir" which means "to attack" so I guess it's the same verb. And after some search "to assail" is "assaillir" and both are archaic versions of "assault". Still, thanks for the new English word and for the superb game!
Please . Is there anyone here that knws where I can find this song about some Capablanca's game ? I seen a while ago agadmator talking bout it . But i did forget in which of his vids . Thank y'all .
My guess is that if the knight moves to E1 on the way to D3 that black would immediately push E5 and create a breakthrough in the position that would be favorable for black.
guys can someone tell me the display board (like website I assume?) agad uses, please? thanks in advance also I love your vids agad guy and I learn alot from your analyzing
Capa loved long knight excursions. Didn't he have a long knight excursion in a legendary against Alekhine in their world championship? He achieved his goal but lost the game and match.
Unassailable is a nice word, but vast is the word I've been thinking about. My vast chess knowledge is finite, but hard to enumerate. Probably though, for any thing I know about chess, agadmator knows 10 things, at least.
Agadmator's videos are unassailable!
That's too English, too be english

For those of you who already knew what unassailable means, congratulations you are an excellent English language speaker
I was surprised Antonio wasn't familiar with the word. I forget he lives in Croatia. His English is perfect.
I sometimes forget that Agadmator is not a native English speaker.
"excellent speaker of English"
@@memegazer Agadmator's proficiency in English is astounding...
Universe , time and capablanca saga,
Scientists have no clue , where is the end.....
Happy to hear that, i really enjoy this saga
Shō ga nai.
it's like candy crush saga😝
@@ДелијеВрбас Indeed. The saga is amazing! not rushing on the end of the universe or time either

"Sorry for that"
-Agadmator 2019
Sorry about that
hahaha
His apologies and manners are unassailable
"Once you push a pawn, you can never unpush it."
Thanks for adding to my vast knowledge of the game! That one was a keeper!

Just arrived back from a trip to the Dalmatian coast. Unassailable beauty! Thanks for these unassailable videos.
Not only improving our chess but also our vocabulary...great

Agadmator is in my opinion a useful teacher and friend when it comes to exploring chess and basically brightening my TH-cam browsing session.
Thanks for the Capa saga. Surprised you didn't know the word "unassailable" as your English is undeniably excellent.
This is why I love Tal. Even before the queen trade it was obvious Capa just wants a draw. Still a nice game tho.
I like how you are always increasing your vast knowledge...even of vocabulary : )
Great start to my Sunday. Thank you for your excellent videos
I do enjoy the word, as well as the concept, ’unassailable’.
Looking forward to some more unassailable videos.
Synonyms for "assail":
Assault, attack, onslaught, siege, offend
(Feel free to add more)
Aren't you mixing nouns with verbs there?
why tho
If a lot of moves by the king is called a "King-Walk", shouldn't a lot of moves by the Knight be called a "Knight-Trot"?
Excellent suggestion!
Nice!!!...
I can’t believe they decided this position was drawn 😭
Wow. Look at that. Lasker's position is also unassailable.
Games like this make me grateful for grinder Carlson
Word of the video, "unassailable" 🙂
#Suggestion please make the saga of alekhine..
Two videos in 4 hours this is the best Sunday
Phil Lasker at 3:35. Ha ha. I love your videos, Agadmator. 🙂
Not only is Aggie's position as the premier chess channel unassailable
but as a TH-camr he is indefatigable !
What an amazing complement that quote is.
Thank you - I really appreciate it.
I think in the old west they called a fort unassailable
You are a very good learner of very nice words.
Agadmator's choice of words is simply unassailable!
I just love your videos Agad
I'm a fans of chess and ur channel since 5 k😍😍😍😍
Yes yes yes
Welcome back to the good stuff 😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍😃😃😃
Unassailable! That's awesome man! 😂😂🖒🖒
Capablanca playing makes chess look so simple and yet I'm here like, what
"Unassailable" is an excellent word for chess analysis. I am sure you will find it very handy in your future videos.

Antonio's comments are really unassailable!

Could you link the books, sir?

In Italian is, of course, "assalire"... cousin languages, Italian and French ;)
Agadmator s videos are more then unassailable
I love Capablanca videos, they’re so interesting.
back to the good stuff!
Unsaillable is king agad.......🤟🤟🤟🤟
The chivalry of an early draw is unassailable.
I love these Saga's
for those of you who consider yourselves a student of the game, congratulations on observing some beautiful knight moves.
"Welcome back to the good stuff".
Accurate
I wonder if any of Capablanca’s analysis of his own Games is now known to be incorrect via Chess engines.
Matt Beckwith there is. But a very minor ones
I want to know how Carlsen would assail that position. Or Leela or Alpha Zero?
At the end, why cant white play ne1, nd3, nc5 and either trade or get more power to push the a6?
Please . Is there anyone here that knws where I can find this song about some Capablanca's game ? I seen a while ago agadmator talking bout it . But i did forget in which of his vids .
Thank y'all .
Increasing our vast knowledge is through Agadmator is unassailable
Why didnt lasker try to use the knight on f3 to defend the pawn and then use both rooks to push the pass pawn ?
My guess is that if the knight moves to E1 on the way to D3 that black would immediately push E5 and create a breakthrough in the position that would be favorable for black.
Oh yeah i think you right i missed that
Nice video!
Does agadmator mean agad(immediately/fast/) mator(checkmate) as in like very fast checkmater
Finally, the good stuff
Back to the good stuff! Coming next - Capablanca vs. a 1921 Ford Model T.
Was capablanca trying to make the knight's tour? Lol
How does one dislike an Agadmator video, it baffles me
I would believe in Chess parlance the synonym "incontestable" may be more specific than "unassailable."
3 likes 0 views WOW!
Very excellent subscribers
Having a new video is already something you would like to like!
guys can someone tell me the display board (like website I assume?) agad uses, please?
thanks in advance
also I love your vids agad guy and I learn alot from your analyzing
not quite sure but i do believe it's lichess
Chess.com
the good stuff ; ) I love u
The vassals quaffed a wassail in the unassailable castle.
And here agadmator goes with the classic "Sorry about that."
Thumbs up for learning new words!
when you say sorry about that and reach under the table... what do you apologize for and what do you do??
He adjusts the volume because moving the pieces makes a loud sound.
He’s trolling us 😆
Great knight game!
No one :
Capablanca : unassailable
Agadmator : nice
A knight sac at g5+ would have been interesting.
Could Lasker have had an advantage after R-e1-a1 followed by N-e1-d3-c5?
Is there a game where capablanca lost?? Show us that plz.
Can you please cover the FIDE World Fischer Random Chess Championship? :)
how do you say unassailable in hrvatski?
mistake in the PGN: 26. b4 b5 Bd6
Thanks!
"Once you push a pawn you can't unpush it"
Agadmator 2019
Can alpha zero push for a win from that position
I wonder how many Times spent by every round of classic chess?
I missed u last night and today morning. But now is the F1race and reds and m. city match😥. See u after them😊
Capa loved long knight excursions. Didn't he have a long knight excursion in a legendary against Alekhine in their world championship? He achieved his goal but lost the game and match.
lasker's psychological warfare never work with an automaton like capablanca-pal benko in his book psychology in chess
How about "sound" variation? I guess it's unassailable ....
0:54 I missed the sorry about that opening
fantastic!
Can you do a series on the Kasporov vs Karpov 1985 world championship please
Ive never heard unassailable in your videos
Unassailable is a nice word, but vast is the word I've been thinking about. My vast chess knowledge is finite, but hard to enumerate. Probably though, for any thing I know about chess, agadmator knows 10 things, at least.
