In July 1966 my 6 person school team played Raymond's school team (he was board 1) in a 6 person match for the British Sunday Times annual school championship semi-finals (a knock-out tournament). He had just published an article on the white side of the Sicilian Dragon Yugoslav attack and got to play it against our board 1 who was the British under 16 champion. Raymond won the game quite easily. I still remember the moves. My school's chemistry teacher did not like the fact that I was traveling and missing his classes for chess and gave me a failing grade even though I was top of his class and knew all the material. That set me to go off and do math instead of chemistry at university and completely altered my life path for the better. Funny how life sometimes turns on a dime. Also, England won the world soccer cup that weekend against Germany and the atmosphere in the hotel was amazing.
I saw an elephant three years ago, and that got me addicted to cocaine. But my gymnastics teacher despised the fact that I could do backflips whilst making pancakes, so he never recommended me for the Olympic team, and now I am an astrophysicist and it completely altered my life for the better. Funny how none of these bitches ain't loyal. Also, this story made as much coherent logical sense as the rambling garbage that inspired it.
Why not just say soccer? Who the hell cares, how is it even possible to take pride in a word like that and claim some "we had it first" or "it makes more sense to us" thing? I come from a country were we call the sports football and American football, but me adapting to calling them soccer and football when writing or talking in some international forum were there might be Americans takes zero effort and it avoids all confusion, why not do it? Even the dumbest, refusing-to-change, fuck USA and their sports-guy still knows what sport you are talking about if you say soccer. He might not acknowledge the word and act dumb on principle, but of course he knows :)
fielder was playing an absolute trash game... he played b captures on c6 like agadmator said and i as a very lowly rated player even saw that was going to lose you the game
Lets face it how many times have we played this move with the forgone conclusion the knight is pinned. We would all have pikachu face from that counter move.
Actually, if you try this variation against any engine, they will crush you with black. They either castle queen side after the exchange or play pawn forward, which easily wins for black. Good against an amateur human player though
@@aaronellis1194 Actually have you even tried this against any engine? Stockfish 10 says white is up +0.9 after the queen sac and +0.9 this early in the game is completely winning for an engine.
duh what are you 12? first of all, in chess terminology, when the knight attacks three pieces simultaneously is a so called family fork, nobody calls it a trident, because we are using the word fork metaphorically, a triple fork, as in forking something 3 times is perfectly fine, where as calling it a trident just sounds ridiculous
One of the coolest games I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much for all your videos agadmator, you’ve given me countless hours of entertainment and knowledge👍💯
Great video. This was pitched at a speed that was easy enough to follow, but I'm still mind-blown by how Keene was confident enough to give up his queen so early, and then win the whole game back with just his bishops and knights. Proof that knights, in particular, can jump out of nowhere and cause the most inconvenient problems ;-) I used to love my knights, and despise my opponents' ones.
I'm a chess novice and have been watching a few of these videos and this is the first one where I really *got* the genius of what was happening. Fun stuff!
A guy named Rosenthal played Capablanca and was in a winning position, pretty mucj an immortal game, but was really, REEAALLY NICE and accepted a draw. Yes, look it up, Agadmator did it you might have seen it, by now.
I bumped upon a video when searching Anand's games, I liked it, I kept watching one video after another in your channel and fell in love with the latter. Very beautiful games included and with equally interesting commentry by you. Keep it up brother.
you uploaded this vid when i have been done watching all your vid before this one and started wtaching your vids everyday. means its when my life started getting good
In honor of the hoodie guynot being represented I'd like to say your trolling people with your "I forgot to turn the volume down. Ive been here since day one. You forgetting to not turn the volume down is so funny. Yes the day ones are here. Congrats
I can remember, that a former team mate (about 2000 Elo) of mine also fell in exactly this trap at a regional championship in Germany about 25 years ago! Also remember, that the opponent took a mischievous pleasure in it already during the game and also won it eventually
i dont know what just happend when but i never can predict all the moves that you talk about and the reasons why or why not to make them, but i processed the info before you would say it was a realy fun moment, this never happens for me. btw i love your vids keep it up
I have always enjoyed playing chess. Great game. I absolutely never lose this game. I am very proud to say that the greatest chess player in the world is from the United States of America.
imię nazwisko Fischer was born & raised in America, therefore making him an American. Learn a bit more before thinking that genetic heritage defines nationality. By this logic I’m not American, I’m sub-Saharan African, as if we go back a few hundred thousand years that’s where my ancestors came from.
Another great VOD :) I love the fact, that Mr E Fielder composed the beautiful ending like this. For sure it is not a coincidence. :) This is example of chess art. ^^ That gambit though O.O
2:39 : a6 also loses because of b4. There is no way for the queen to stay on the A-file to keep an eye on the a8 square. After cxb7 axb5 white can promote by capturing the rook and the queen cannot retake. If you try to play Qd8 after b4 white can simply capture the queen with c7+ either with the bishop if black blocks with the queen or with the pawn if black captures the bishop with the A-pawn.
IIRC, Stockfish says the best move for black is to castle queenside (!), after which white has no immediate win, but Stockfish still gives white an advantage in its evaluation. The attack is crazy strong.
I've watched more videos on this channel than I can ever count but this was my first thumbs up.. Only because I need to find this video and study it.. I'm mind blown.. I still can't believe it.. Also my first comment posted..
Fascinating dynamic play by GM Keene. It certainly deserves admiration. And your good commentary made it even more luminant. Keep up the good work. 2:37 If black plays A6 white can reply with b4 black is forced to Qxb4 or QxB both loses Pxb7+ white wins. Best move is to castle Q side. black would be slightly better.
+ChessGuru Do you mean black plays 4. ... O-O-O ? But then 5. Kc4 and white can start harassing the queen and pushing the pawn. Giving back material seems more sensible.
Unlikely. Mato doesn't play online because his eyes hurt him when he stares at the screen for too long and he lives in Australia while Agad lives in Croatia so unlikely that they met in some chess tournament either.

gives Queens gambit a whole new meaning
Aizle Guevarra lmao!!
botez gambit
What a topical comment !
@@aryanvedarth6745 lmaooo
Took out the 2 rooks in 2 moves and forced a surrender with the queen still in the game. WOW.
And without even using either of his rooks.
BerylusRed That gospel is bronze age bullshit
Fielder made a lot of mistakes
And that too after loosing a queen
fielder was playing an absolute trash game... he played b captures on c6 like agadmator said and i as a very lowly rated player even saw that was going to lose you the game
fielder: *pins the knight
raymond: moves knight anyways
fielder: :O
shaman nablis hahahaha
Fielder: suprised pikachu face
What do u mean
Lets face it how many times have we played this move with the forgone conclusion the knight is pinned. We would all have pikachu face from that counter move.
@@offline0198 The opening queen sacrifice. The knight is pinned to the queen, but he gives up the queen. It wasn’t pinned to the king but the queen.
No wonder *E Fielder* doesn't want to show his face ..
IWantToHandstand hahahah
IWantToHandstand uhhhhhhahahahaahha
No offence..
😂
Surprisingly the engine approves of the sacrifice giving an advantage for white after it.
John Sanders that’s impressive
not really, white does have advantage as long it plays the best moves, as shown in the video black made blunder on a6 pawn
Maybe if the sacrifice is accepted.
Actually, if you try this variation against any engine, they will crush you with black. They either castle queen side after the exchange or play pawn forward, which easily wins for black. Good against an amateur human player though

This channel's videos is always the pinnacle of my daily chess video dose. First Mato, then Suren, then Agadmator, saving the best for last :)
Beerdy - Bruce Lee Central Wait. Mato still making new content? I thought he stopped. Must check it out
He still makes a new video every day :)
You need to add Rick from Chess to Progress and Chess to Impress channels as well. He is very good and entertaining too. My four favorites.
no : first agadmator, second kingcrusher, third new velove echess
I can't stand Ricks accent.
When 2700+ rated player vs 1200 rated player
Fielder played really bad... Even i could have guessed some moves and im an complete amateur
Exactly, really cute to sacrifice your Queen this way, but if you are playing an opponent of equal strength in a non blitz game, it s just nonsense.
@@Marc-ox7fy It's not cute, even stockfish says the queen sac is the strongest move in that position.
More like 900
@@lordvoldemort953 I'm 900 😭
I feel like raymond just thought to himself "ive played this shit so often, im sick and tired of this boring line, lets try this"
At 1:58 he's actually threatening something much worse: c7+ with mate in two (Qd7 Bxd7#)
But after Bxd7+, the black king can escape do d8 (since the Queen is not there anymore).
KrekreDoBusao D8 is guarded by the pawn
Sorry, you are right. I was thinking about the position shown at 1:58 where he actually plays cxb7+.
You do realise cxb7 is also a mate in two. After the queen blocks, bxa8=Q is checkmate, as the queen is pinned.
white has 3 ways of mate in 2 in that position
"triple fork" uh dude thats a trident duh
duh what are you 12? first of all, in chess terminology, when the knight attacks three pieces simultaneously is a so called family fork, nobody calls it a trident, because we are using the word fork metaphorically, a triple fork, as in forking something 3 times is perfectly fine, where as calling it a trident just sounds ridiculous
It could have been a joke, ridculs is a stan d point of some jokes.
Ivan Josipovic A trident is a 3 pointed pointed spear that looks like a fork, but only 3 teeth... there you go
tho fork has 4
Ivan Josipovic i hope you're not as good at playing chess as you are at understanding the 'joke'
4:23 captions know better: "But Raymond has another trick up his sleeve, he plays fifa"
One of the coolest games I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much for all your videos agadmator, you’ve given me countless hours of entertainment and knowledge👍💯
Hahaha 3 years later and I’m so happy this came across my recommended. My favorite game played ever now. I’m going to try and mimic this!
Variety is the spice of life and of this channel
A spectacular beard sacrifice
Whose facial hair was sacrificed here?
@@davidcopson5800 I think Raymond had a beard before this match

hallo sir I am from India...We do watch your informative videos and knowledge of chess increased a lot...
I come back once a year to rewatch this game. Just love it.
This is by far the most entertaining game I've watched so far in your channel...
Keep up the good work Aga..
#agadmator you are an excellent game selector, Reymond's brilliancy at its best!!!!!
GM Keene is a legend in UK chess, he has done so much for chess over decades.
This is the single most impressive and artistic game I have ever seen in my life.
I loved the quote above the board because it is literally how I got into the chess !
raymond be like: " you think you pin the knight, ha???!!".
+N. Risli Azis :D
Hahahaha

agadmator's Chess Channel lol
I remember Raymond Keene when he had a chess show, back in the 80's I think. He was a good teacher. Nice instructive video!
The big question is if anyone played this after?That would be even more interesting.
Thanks.
ddmeltzer8 iiii i
very unique and creative :) i'm glad i didn't miss this one :) MORE!
Beautiful stuff. Black king and queen were weeping at the end.
you uploaded this vid when i have been done watching all your vid before this one and started wtaching your vids everyday.
means its when my life started getting good
Plot twist: he blundered his Queen 😂
Clearly not
Great concept you have here, watching your videos have made my chess playing improve dramatically, Thank you.
That is one of the coolest games I’ve ever seen played by a grandmaster.
That was a fun game. I have a feeling that that queen sacrifice will never work again though. Thanks for the nice video!
This is the first game I have seen and deemed beautiful.
I guess my top 1 game of this channel for 2017 has been completely replaced 😏
its 2018 what is ur new top game?
its 2019 what is ur new top game?

Just goes to show that sometimes heart beats brains. Kudos to you for showing this flawed mini.
I think this is my favorite video in the channel. So fun!
That reference tho lol, you're lit as always agadmator!
Thank you,great fearless moves! I like it!!
Thats the best queen sacrifice i've ever seen
Thank you. Agadmotor.
Well that will certainly spark some new and dangerous ideas !!!! Lol !!! Loved it !!!! 😁✌♕♔
Incredible video I love this channel
Excellent analysis and flow... I like your brown dog in sofa!!
Mr. Keene's rooks didn't even enter the battle at all and yet he caused such great havoc....amazing!
that was lovely queen sacrifice. I will definitely try it in the game... btw thank you for showing this amazing game
This is a real masterpiece. It could be considered as the game of the 20. Century.
That triple fork though 😂😂 I really love how knights fork
I never seen a game like that.It's to imppresive how Raymond Keene wins the game.😎😎

He planned the whole game ahead lmao.
Forced resign in 15 moves
I feel like there must be a competition out there for how quickly one can sacrifice one's queen in a tournament and win.
Sounds fun but open for scandals where two players could plan a game in advance and split the reward, otherwise it sounds fun!
