Not every move, the idea of Kc1(which I didn't find myself too) is the right move, f3 loses momentum and the evaluation goes from +6 to +2, which is still winning for white, but the move is still a mistake, since it loses a lot of advantage. Black is inaccurate too and allow white to get the large advantage back. Not saying I could have done better, not even equal, but just saying it wasn't completely accurate.
actually sometimes engines got a problem until you play couple of moves into the sac or use them at absurdly high depth. We don't know if white had enough advantage to win in the position or black could've easily made into favorable endgame. All we know is, it was a playable line and very interesting one.
@@shubhendranathsingh9888 Running Stockfish 14 NNUE to depth 50 I found the position is +0.6 only if black plays f6 and gives up the h6 pawn, otherwise white is just winning.
Concerning quote: Emperor Napoleon was actually wounded by canonball in the battle of Ratisbon (Regensburg) 23 April 1809. Also wounded several other times in 60 battles, not afraid of line of fire, as seen in this courageous game.
Black was in some sort of positional zugzwang throughout the game. This contest illustrates the importance of activity. Activity is the key in chess. That’s why the engine always loves activity over all.
Two pieces for a queen was a fair trade, especially since that knight was so strong and that bishop was the main defender of the king. Eliminating that bishop jarred the king from his safety zone and put him on the run for the rest of the game.
Hugely enjoyed that. On the first puzzle it was one of the first moves i considered, but didn't have the follow up. Obviously it was more because u had already mentioned the vuarnability of the piece, otherwise would have never thought of it. It is one of my weaknesses failing to capitalise on the constraints of the pieces with regards to the board and its a great way to win pieces this way too. Thank you Agad. Checking the Fisher game next!
Pragnandhaa - Adhiban of round 2 #suggestions. Pragnandhaa sacced pawns for activity like alpha zero. Jorden van Foreest also lost in round 2 with a cute tactic. But maybe not too interesting.
I'm surprised that you don't have a Kasparov series. Especially since he played one of the greatest world championship matches in 1991 against Karpov.... Garry is the GOAT
The bots have been on a rampage on Agad's channel lately , as a teenager who wants to focus on his career and other interests in life... It's very distracting 😶
Incredible. Black's last piece to move was his other rook. It was paralyzed the whole game until he finally brought to the center. But alas, that was the fatal blow as it was just prior to the pause the video ending. The reason the queen trade worked for white was because it crippled Black's development and mathematically gave white a 11 point vs. 9 point advantage, due to the impotence of Black's rook.
It's always interesting to see a line like this. Unexpected sac with a good followup... It takes a good amount of tournament tactics to use it againt the correct opponent. Good enough to be needed using it... but not too good or he'll refute it over the board. Like Capablanca did wuth the Marshall attack. Or Ding did to Fabi some 2 years ago. Because, I am pretty sure that everyone will check this line with black now
As if chess wasn't mysterious enough, Caissa reveals something hidden in plain sight for over 80 years! What a jem!! I wonder why the Russian theoreticians never found it?!
Engine favors black slightly (at least on depth 24- possibly it is equal on higher depths), but even dept 14 agrees that f5 is a mistake lol. Black should have remained passive...well engines for ya! they can keep their cool even when up a queen vs 2 pieces.
#suggestion I'd really like to see you re-cover the Ivanchuk Kasparov game from '91... I've watched it probably a dozen times and I'm curious to see a video in the newer Agadmator-the-Legend style....
@@johnkildea2796 The traditional rating of the value of pieces is quite close to what chess engines have determined through extensive training. This is, of course, without taking position into account. I think most players would prefer three minor pieces to a queen, provided the pieces are already coordinated. Otherwise, the queen can pick them off.
Probably because that way you'll still capture the Knight on g4 after the forced Kxg7, and then the dark bishop is still on e3 to give a double attack on h6.
Especially one which doesn't lead to a checkmate a few moves later which we can just attribute to calculating ahead. Here, it's just long term positional advantage.
#suggestion you can make a series on the greatest jews in chess history. Out of the 16 world champions , 5-6 of them were jews. We are such a small community in the world but very strong at chess. During the history jews from wide variety of countries were prominent. We also have Eric rosen and Levy rozman
Nepomniatctchi is half Jewish, same with Levon Aronian, Radjabov, Svidler are full Jewish, Many Jews in the American chess community as well. Aleksandr Lenderman but he's now a Christian convert, Ben Finegold, Robert Hess, Daniel Rensch??, Daniel Naroditsky.
The fact that his queen sacrifice was for positional advantage and not planned makes this better
You high bro?
@@davidrislund1135 yeah he is , considering a pawn to be the same as a knight
You are an excellent interpreter of the situation 😂👍👏👏.
That's how queen sacrifices are 99% of the time
" not planned" => I don't agree. Im sorry, but in the era of "silicone " we can have some doubts about that...
Talk about making EVERY RIGHT MOVE after a sacrifice. Holy shit. That was crazy.
he just played the best move after the sacrifice, BEST MOVE. magician.
The spirit of Tal😌
that's what i worry about...you gotta be damn sure after sacing your queen and not blunder! 😖

The way Antonio just went "whoa" on Queen d7 blunder makes me laugh more than necessary. Thanks Antonio.
Qd7 you mean, and yeah, I must have replayed it twice😂
I like your username. 😁
So u must be called AVL 🤣
On my computer, Stockfish agrees with the sacrifice.
It gives +0.8 on depth 22.
I wonder if that is still the case for higher depths
actually sometimes engines got a problem until you play couple of moves into the sac or use them at absurdly high depth.
We don't know if white had enough advantage to win in the position or black could've easily made into favorable endgame.

Same. Actually likes taking the bishop on g7 and sacrificing the queen that way. I let the computer play out and it was a draw in the end
@@shubhendranathsingh9888 You a pure positional player, right? Guessing just for fun. Am I correct?
@@rishabhsemwal4180 actually fundamentally yes but recently I've been just playing bullet and practicing puzzles a lot.

I haven't been blundering my queens, I've been warming up for this game
A bishop and a knight against a rook, and even you're up a pawn, easily winning ON THIS LEVEL. Yes, "on this level" is important
1:29 it was in this position that we have a completely new sound

"Engines are engines, and humans are not engines" - Agad, 2021.
You can tell if Antonio is excited for the position when he swing the Knight like a sabre instead of the little comma movement
" the game is instantly boring, or down right terrible" sums up about 90% of my games. I play bad sometimes 😌
Sometimes a queen sacrifice is best met with another queen sacrifice.
Sometimes it not aswell
All those sacrifices watching this live was intense

True!
Kasparov and Karpov did not play a match in 1991.
Hohoho! I freaking love this game. That queen sacrifice -- almost as good as Magnus' sacrifice vs Giri. What a beauty!
This might sound weird but I miss the old times when the mailman or something came up and agadmator left us hanging for minutes
"I've seen many queen sacrifices similar to this but never any in this particular position" very profound agad
That is one hell of a quote
Every Move it's not just move it's an BOLD Statement. 🔥🔥
man, that queen sacrifice at 1:25 was genius

That was brutal The black queen was almost useless. Awesome
It amazes me how well you can pronounce these intense names. I had to listen to you say it twice, i could hardly read them in my head
1:30 > the white queen taunts the black queen
That Knight move though ^^ 8:09

This was a KID.. you high bro?
@@peep2268 the KiD was recently changed to sicilian defense.
you are right, trading everything right from the start, though it is simplifying everything, is a lead to boring games.

I love the deep nap of Agad's Dog!

this is a good gift from youtube on my birthday!
4:08 black could play Queen to g5 to prevent checkmate right?
Games like this saw me banned from the library..
Can you please explain all these "sorry about that" at the start of the video????
Now a days opening preparation with the help of engine is a must. But it is risky because human never played perfect moves at all times.
why isn't rook to e5 (square beside the queen to eat the queen) in 7:36 not an option?
I would have to study this for years to see white's advantage in giving up the queen.
isn't this video enough of an explanation to see white's advantage? :P
That rook sacrifice best I’ve seen
You're still the best in my opinion keep up the good Chess.
Looks like Mikhail Tal is reborn !!! Awesome attack
With the queen sacrifice fairly early, do you think it was intuition, or he knew about this position in his studies using an engine?
I think it was his plan gave him confidence he could start a nice attack... I wonder of the queen may be over rated?

@@pineapplesareyummy6352 Yes I agree.. We've seen magnus trade his queen for 3 pieces and win. It's just not as powerful of a piece without support.
As always, excellent analysis!
@11:15
If black king goes B6 - doesn't he get to safety?
This was exceptional play by white.
I am looking at the thumbnail and after takes takes takes there's h5 defending everything and g4 is met with h4
Wow I suck at calculation
Minute mark 12:07 Rook to g4 not possible because Queen captures Rook on h8!!
What a novelty queen sacrifice
At 12:06 how is the coming rook to g4 a threat? Can't you ten simply capture the rook on h6 with the queen?
I thought the exact same thing like ik the rook h file rook is free for the queen if you do
A hero indeed - he deserves a Morphy head.
He sacrificed a Queen for activity.
#suggestion
Nezhmetdinov Saga.
Please show Nezhmetdinov's games
Wow the engine actually likes Queen taking on g7 instead of taking the knight or moving queen out of harms way
Probably because that way you'll still capture the Knight on g4 after the forced Kxg7, and then the dark bishop is still on e3 to give a double attack on h6.
@@benweieneth1103 yes interesting how we can't see the positional advantage as much as an engine can. We call it intuition or attacking

Fabi had extra two pawns, but opponent somehow managed to draw.
absolutely brilliant

Queen sacrifices are the most attracting in chess!
Especially one which doesn't lead to a checkmate a few moves later which we can just attribute to calculating ahead. Here, it's just long term positional advantage.
