These videos are great! They provide a realistic experience of very good competitors making real time decisions, both good and bad. I hope you continue with live games like this.
these videos is just better than the other gm’s videos, atleast for me 1500 rating scrub bcs u just explain to us 2/3 move ahead slowly.. rather than other channel that explain 5/10 moves so fast, so hard to keep with the thought procces.. thank you agad keep this content goin!!
Agadamator, I'm an old fan, but never comment on your videos, i really like your channel and want to say this is absolutely very entertaining to watch and very educational too. thanks!
Good insight early in the game to guess what moves he's was going to play. I'm learning from your thoughts. Ya maybe giving up the queen, was to early without a kill in sight.
13:20 Nb1 was actually not a threat for white for a beautiful reason! Let's say Nb1, Qxd2, Nxd2, then black plays dxe3. The knight on d2 is now attacked by the pawn on e3, and if the knight moves you have the brilliant e2 which forks both of white's rooks! In any case, I don't see why you giving up the queen for the rook and piece was necessary at all? At 13:34 after Nd5 you can just play Qxd2, if white plays the intermezzo Nxf6 just Bxf6. Maybe you were worried about black's bishop hanging but white has to spend a move recapturing black's queen. After Rxd2 you can again play this move dxe3 which now attacks the rook, and if white moves the rook you have Bg5 defending the pawn on e3.
after h3 i might have avoided castling and moved h5 to try opening that file for my rook. maybe even sit my knight on g4 to tempt him with a fishing pole style sacrifice. even if he doesn't bite, its a great place for a knight

@Agadmator....I suggest that talking/explanations be done on opponent's time to the extent possible. This would optimize your ten minutes to play a better game. You can always supplement your thoughts at the end of the game. It is also helpful to go over the game at the end a little slower and more explanation.
I think instead of giving the Queen as you did it looked almost like you would’ve come out ahead a piece with the fork you had on his knight and Bishop he moved the knight if you had took his Queen at that point i believe you had another capture with the pawn you would’ve been up pieces but I notice you have your own creative offensive themes seems like you go for larger scale attacks than players like myself that more or less go straight forward not knowing as many tactics as you do Great Game always enjoy watching
The opponent was very cheeky, tricking Agadmator into playing for the "fork" that was only good for black. If Qxd2 Bxd2 and there is no winning a piece. I think Agadmator was unhappy to give up what was supposed to be a strong attack, and the resulting position would have been objectively better for black.
@@agadmator I feel like I’m piling on here, but in the end during the analysis you say that the sac was fine, this is also not correct, the position goes from even to +2.4 for white. At the very least you can take the queen and it’ll still be equal material after the trades.
Yeah, by fine I thought interesting and complicated to play. Of course 2.4 is a lot if you play perfect moves, but at our level that is rarely the case. But yeah, taking the queen was the way to go.

This opening is reminiscent of the Botvinnik formation, as discussed by Jeremy Silman in his book, Complete Book of Chess Strategy. It's pretty good, but White needs to be a bit careful. Yes, this fellow definitely has the Silman book! ♟️
Gotta say I am with everybody else I love this content, thanks for making it, Antonio!
Yes I agree enjoyable to watch he has good tactics beyond those of the average player for sure he knows a lot of chess theory
This a great series, refreshing for the channel and you are always a great personality
I was yelling at you to watch that Queen check/bishop fork but you didn't hear me.
Felt like a big slap in the face :D
You blounder big time this pin 😂 but you fight untill the end
I think that’s the same move I saw whites Queen checks and than steals Bishop
@@michaelmassaro4375 the only blounder yes
Lol. I been yelling everymatch

Agad this is such great helpful content. Thanks for putting up these games daily, I hope they’ll continue!
I look forward to your games more than any other chess. Keep them coming, please.
So nice to have nice food ready for dinner and to see this in the sub box. So nice to watch while eating

Love your videos, agadmator, they have indeed changed my life. Love your own games, keep them coming. Thank you.
Life? wtf

Slow poison is such a South African username 😂🤣 . Great vid as per ush 👌🏽🤙🏽
It's intense how respectful Ag is. LIke jeez, what a guy! We could all learn something from the man
4 games in one day? We are lucky!!! Thanks Antonio!

Nice video. More of these bro ❤

15:39 Antonio - you were blind to the check on d5.
Good insight early in the game to guess what moves he's was going to play. I'm learning from your thoughts. Ya maybe giving up the queen, was to early without a kill in sight.
I thought he could’ve gone up a minor piece at that point if he had just traded Queens it looked as if he had a fork on the bishop and knight ?
My favorite videos rn. Please keep posting ur games. Thank you!!!
b5 right up there with b4 as the move that always wins the game.
Really enjoying these games!
Cool idea about what happens when opponent fianchettoes both bishops, in any opening system. Loved that.
16:00 Agad, your f7-f5 move is great, but man... don't f5xe4. Just but your bishop in h6, then e3
13:20 Nb1 was actually not a threat for white for a beautiful reason! Let's say Nb1, Qxd2, Nxd2, then black plays dxe3. The knight on d2 is now attacked by the pawn on e3, and if the knight moves you have the brilliant e2 which forks both of white's rooks!

After Nb1 if Qxd2 then the bishop can take on d2 instead of the knight
@@blue_red_screen I missed this move, nice!
Rapid is by far the coolest format of chess. #suggestion: You scould make that your statenent!
after h3 i might have avoided castling and moved h5 to try opening that file for my rook. maybe even sit my knight on g4 to tempt him with a fishing pole style sacrifice. even if he doesn't bite, its a great place for a knight

U enjoy it immensely, we enjoy it. Life is good.
Hello. At what time are you playing? i'm about your rating range in rapid on Lichess, so i would love to snipe you in some games :D

No, Lichess is 100% free
You still hung in there tough and played well

Slow poison is just a saying amongst a group of people here in Southern Africa. The name immediately told mans was from South Africa.

Wait, why did you sac your queen, the position is completely equal!
Good question 😅

I saw where he could’ve checked you and take your Bishop
Put your rook on the second rang.
I said to my misses.. “would you like to see the hyperaccelerated dragon?” 😂
Great title and great game!
Antonio you are doing great 👍
Even if you don't win 😊😃
Damn, he really lived up to his name alright
Yikes! He's making them faster than I can watch them.

You could have taken his Queen for yours.

Instead of giving up your queen, why didn't you trade queens?
I was greedy :)
😢😢😢 queen sacrificing was stupid
I'm so sad that Antonio is not getting as much views these days
What a goated channel
You missed an obvious move Antonio!
Very bad trade you made there. That knight was not a problem
@5:00, @7:30 - You're babbling! You would run into fewer problems if you talk on your opponent's time.
I like space that is too closed for me. I did not like blacks game there.
like first of all because of the video title
Hi there Agadmator I played you sSlowpoisonN1 was strange a guy I just played blitz with send me the link that I was playing you.
Good game!
Thanx again for great content I learn alot from u
I hate that when you lose you seem so sad
