#suggestion - in St Louis just now, Wesley against MVL, MVL has just moved the same knight 9 times in his first 11 moves. Now what was that about basic opening theory?
@@oxnyz1883 Found it, it's So-MVL from Round 8 of the Superbet Chess Classic, which, although it's streamed live by St Louis Chess Club, is in Romania. Here's some random video playing through the moves with an odd choice of background music: ruclips.net/video/A3DhQSBVJIA/видео.html
The beautiful thing about a chess game between grandmasters is how each move no matter how minute is both an elegant refutation of one devastating combination of opposing moves and then in the same move it is also a subtle invitation for your own combinations to unfold and this happens EVERY MOVE! So I really must give credit to people like Antonio who delve into the multi dimensional realm that is a classical chess match. Not only do we improve our own game from this type of analysis but you can really enjoy the art of chess by watching these videos
“As you can see by the title, that’s just the way Levon plays!.. well, okay, sometimes…” Haha yup the right reaction to trying to describe Levon’s play.
What a great game. I remember a quote on strategic play from a chess book when I was a child. It went along the lines that if you do not want to have games where all the great tactics are hidden in the variations you will lose a lot of games.
Absolutely brilliant play on both sides; a really fascinating and very complicated game. I’ve watched it 3x already today; probable a few more times 2mrw !! Also Excellent analysis by Agad. (This is the most brilliant Chess Channel !!)
7:31 This is why chess positions are so fucking crazy and complicated. Even if you seem like you're winning 1 wrong move that doesn't even seem wrong and it's Game Over
6:40 mover order, rook A1 to D1. Best move fir black is queen 6 offering queen trade. Then whit declines and plays h5. Best move for black is queen C7. TThen knight D5 to E3 going to F5
For the hypothetical position at 9:25: isn't king to h2 a move for white to prevent the deadly arrival of the black queen to h3? Well, black can then make an intermediary bishop to c8, threating check mate, but white can still avoid it by blocking the diagonal on e2 with its night. It means giving up the knight for white yes, but this knight's mission is already accomplished by having grabbed the free rook earlier. So overall it looks like a gain for white.. What do I miss? help me please* ;) (*quote from my 1.5 year old girl)
Incredible game, hard to even see where Sasha made a bad move, and at the end with resigns I believe pieces on the board were completely equal... Where is the Morphy head???
I really enjoy content, but could you please continue with Morphy saga, please? It has been a long time since last Morphy game and I think everyone will appreciate continuation :)
Yes please. As much as this improved my Sunday (which was already very nice), Morphy's games improve the whole week, and one is hard pressed to resist sharing them with their friends at the bar and the library.
Incredible .dono y i feel i have played qgd 100's of times but each time i sacrifice thinking i remember the line i lose the entire plot if I just play one wrong move . But qgd is one hell of an opening where bishops breathe fire

Someone yesterday commented that Levon always loses on this channel ...he took that seriously
5:58 - and I took that personally
That was me 😂
Maybe he was not a viewer in the year 2017-2018. He was on fire that year, except the candidates tournament.
I've commented that Mamedyarov, Levon, and Karjakin are the channel punching bags. There was actually a game where Mamedyarov won recently on the channel too.
It became personal with me.
- Levon Aronian
I love how Antonio enjoys and laughs when there's a brilliant move.
In fact, that is how I know it's a brilliant move.
Yes
After seeing enough Baka mitai, it's hard not to laugh at that blue double exclam
😂 😂
in these masterpiece games it's crazy how well all the attacking pieces coordinate perfectly
Thats why these games are masterpiece
As if they have a mind of their own
It’s like they know every move before they play
Levon seems to be having some special affinity for masterpiece games, whether it's as a participant or as the creator himself.
Quality comment

Levon either creates an immortal or is at the recieving end of one. There is no middle ground.
😂🗿
Similar applies to Topalov, really.
@@Scientist93 topalov always loses the immortal games
It always takes two players to create a masterpiece
It's all like that when you have an aggressive playstyle, 1 move would decide whether you win or lose... terribly 😂
"On this channel we don't give checks if it isn't required" damn Antonio throwing some serious shade on Levy
My answer was definitely qg3+, saw the rook lift but never spotted bb1 xD watching too much leviathan
Pretty sure levy discourages useless checks
I didn’t think it was throwing any shade at Levy at all tbh. Agad is right on principle and I’m sure Levy would also agree.

For those wondering, the quote is "I make mistakes, therefore I am" in Latin
Thanks 🤠👒
In context I would translate as: "I blunder, therefore I am"
"I err" is a closer translation than 'I make mistakes.'
@@kruksog That's synonymous so yes also good
I was at the library waiting for Sunday video
Agad: Hello everyone!
Everyone at the library: General Agad!
Finally a game where Levon won 😅😅
I was gonna comment in the last video featuring him that he doesn't seem to be winning his games but I held onto that thought and now this...
I haven’t seen this many fun options in a game for a while. Excellent analysis as always and such good play by L.A.
Arguably the best review of a chess game you have done to date...An absolutely great job.
Definitely showing this one to the boys at the library. Thanks Antonio
This was indeed a brilliant game. I loved the lines that Agad showed us.
Grischuks play is so sturdy i feel like it takes a masterpiece to beat him.
In this rare occasion, Sacha didn't run out of time, just out of moves.
2 years watching agadmator analysis the game, this match so much surprise than other match, so love it, and blowing my mind
This game deserves a meme with Boromir saying: "You just don't give Levon an extra tempo"
I think its tempo for one moveand tempi(plural) for more moves. It only makes sense after all
@@steve_gatsis Corrected. Thanks!
@@steve_gatsis I think it's "tempura"
Think Sasha Think you don't give this guy an extra tempo
One does not simply change the wording of a meme
This game shows how creative and resourceful levon aronian, move after move deep and excellent variations
I just got back from a military camp, great to see good games I missed :)
Antonio, great analysis, and a really impressive game. Thanks!
I mean wow. This game puts a smile on my face. Thanks for the commentary.
Loved this analysis Agad (love all the analysis's) when he threw his hands up "yup that's what kind of game this is" I bust out lmao love this stuff!!
Thanks for showing the black Q to f8 at the end because that's the move I was thinking of. 15:59
For the first time I guessed a move correct. bishop to b1 with the idea of opening the diagonal.
"...as there is nothing more to be done." I like the eloquent finality of that statement.
You're not alone
My Sunday turned into a Funday. Antonio making sure we enjoy this position.
"I err, therefore I am." How apropos.
Football Euro on TV and I am thrilled by chess...what a game!
Maybe you could also add the 'completely new game' / 'never been reached again' to the time stamps
Such a masterpiece on my birthday. Thank you agadmator for all the work you put in, I appreciated it.
Finally first.. cant say amazing game as I haven’t watched it complete yet
Always look forward these often fantastic quotes on top of the board.

We need a video from agadmator to show how to set up an engine and how we takes help of it while analysing these Masterpieces.

Plz Levon, comeback, keep playing like this, I wanna see you in the candidates again
I saw this video on Monday... Weirdly enough, somehow it improved my Sunday retroactively.
It improved my Sunday drastically, hahah. Thanks !
“It doesn’t matter how good of a Sunday you were having” 😂
Levon reminds me of Super Nez, Marshall, Ivanchuk and Alekhine. He’s such a vibrant and colorful player.
I am literally having a great Sunday. Ate good lunch, watching Euros, having a walk in nature. This video will be cherry on the top.

Absolutely brilliant play on both sides; a really fascinating and very complicated game. I’ve watched it 3x already today; probable a few more times 2mrw !! Also Excellent analysis by Agad. (This is the most brilliant Chess Channel !!)
Such a wild game. Seems like White is running to the hills but capitalized on a single mistake by Black. Impressive!
Great Analysis of the unheard melodies!! Many thanks.
It's the same pieces and the same board as we all use...but it looked like a completely different game! 👏👏
Excellent game by Levon and very acurate analysis .
Time stamps are so useful. Thank you!
Everytime we see a masterpiece,it is either against Levon or by Levon,eitherways Levon is a constant
Poor Grischuk. Everyone seems to bring their A game against him.
Until Grischuk bring HIS A game.
But Levon deserves this win
I think this is the first time I see levon winning a game. And I have been following agad for some 2 years.
3:41 however capturing would lead to the beautiful knight alignment which probably is a secret achievement
The elán of declining a queen en prìsè! The concession of a fully inserted sabre, partially withdrawn.
Yo I gotta say it's awesome when Magnus is imitating you during his feeds lol
