#suggestion Anatoly Karpov saga - too many people don't know how strong Karpov was in his prime and he's an easily overlooked world champion just because he didn't play Fischer for the title. please! Karpov Saga, what better way to transition from the Fischer saga.
#suggestion instead of long player-centred sagas, it would be great if you could do shorter tournament-focused sagas, covering famous chess tournaments throughout history nad presenting best games from each round.
If the hyper-accelerated dragon works against a 2200 level player playing the English, then it's good enough for us. Part of what I enjoy with your games and commentary is your ability to analyze and adapt openings/lines you're not studied in.
Love these live game stream/recaps Antonio, its a fun a switch up sometimes as we dont mind watching some of your games and analyzing them either! we learn either way lol Good game
#suggestion: In my opinion the best content you provide is when you make a series of one of the chess legneds life. like Paul Maurphy, Jose Raul cabablanka, Robert Fischer. So please do the Steinitz Saga as promised and in general I would suggest that you make this kind of content always present in the channel. I think in the long run this will make a difference.
I had to laugh when I looked at a GothamChess video where he's like "THE CHESS PLAYER YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF... dun dun dun... RASHID NEZHMETDINOV!!" And I think to myself... come on, bro, really? You're just going to pretend that agadmator doesn't exist?
#suggestion Game 9 from Vishy and Magnus's wcc match, and I'd especially like to see some crazy lines after bf1 instead of nf1 as the position seems very interesting.
Great instructional game! Quick question to all: Am I missing something with the hanging pawn on c4 for several minutes starting at 8:25? Or is because it can be captured anytime?
9:18 Qd4+ guards the a pawn, then f5 next move shuts out white's rook diffusing the Q and R battery on f7. also then white's c pawn is an easy target. 11:28 if Qa1 then Rb2 forces the queen to give itself up for rook or its mate in 2. 12:54 again Rb2 is decisive. He cannot take the pawn else Qxg7# so he must allow both queens and a pair of rooks to be traded, leaving an easily winning rook vs bishop endgame.
#suggestion For your next video, I would love to see the explanation of how chess engines work and comparisons between different types that you mentioned a few videos ago. I think it would be very instructive
#suggestion: I was reading Ivanchuk's wikipedia. In 2010 Olympiad, he had a record of +7, -1, =2 on board 1 with team gold and board gold. Perhaps if you had nothing else in mind, you could cover this? It seems like the sort of thing you might be into. Thanks always for your work!
The bird opening always gives me problems... didn't study that opening enough. Hope to see you do a video on that someday. Wonder if you are Yugoslav...I have family in Zagreb.
#1994 linares saga. You already made some videos but we want in 60 fps. also a great way to show karpov's power as he's not much shown on your channel.. so have a look at it agad #suggestion
How to play against the english if you don't have any prep for the english: do this from the symmetrical or play some KID or Grunfeld type arrangement. White is likely to transpose back in to queen's gambit territory if you do that anyway as steadfast remaining in the english plans isn't all that great against KID or Grunfeld.
Once again a nice game-play/analysis to watch.. a lovely live performance and I believe Agadmator could have even more quicker converted his winning position, by playing Rb2 on move 28 or 29. Or am I not seeing straight? :Y
9:00 "this is completely winning, so it's not very interesting, but let's go for a clean conversion" ... proceeds to make a series of lazy blunders WHY ??? at the very least, just grub all his pawns
After a day of normal complete chaos, I can play 10 straight games, and lose them all. I need my mind to come back in one piece before playing good me. Perfect series for the purpose. No out of bound words. I loved the Bobby Fisher birthday series. I went on a five streak wins in Classical and Rapid after trying copying Bobby's openings! (Junior1978-Lichess)
I love all of your games. But in this one i didn't get why didn't you go for rook b2 when queen was on e2? It is from you i learnt about rook transforming into pig and here you'd have 2 of them
so this is what you get, somehow at 2200, but I get equal positions till move 22. Are we playing on the same lichess, or patrons are kept away from the cheaters?
Enjoyable game...but I thought not up to the usual level once the exchange was won, and certainly not 2200 level. Bringing the rook to b2 earlier or a3 or doubling the rooks on 7th rank a little earlier, would have been easier. Just my observation.
After you played Qe2 to block his queen from taking your pawn on g4, and then were talking about all of the king-side moves, in my head I was screaming, "Rb2!!" which would have forced him to swap queens then and given you stacked rooks on the e file.
You won rather handily once you captured that Rook on a1 with your Bishop it was pretty much game at that point some players can come back from being exchange down but he had no real threats the most damage I saw him do was grabbing the undefended pawn on b7 😅but the game already decided by than Thanks for the Game hope to see more anytime Enjoy your day
#Suggestion Hey Agadmator, it's long since you have shown a game of my favourite player, Mikhail Tal. Could you please show Mikhail Tal Vs Rashid Nezhmetdinov, USSR Championship 1961. Enjoyed this video, the way you play gives us many insights. Thank You.
“I’ve lost interests in this game” instantly blunders pawn.

Good game
13:45 “I don t want to be the guy that just grabs a pawn “ 😅
I love your dark humour😊
Thanks Agad; I played HE dragon against English and managed to win today, right after watching this game

"I am just gonna put my Queen here and stop any counterplay he might have along this diagonal" then Antonio hangs his b7 pawn 😂😂
11:30 no, u move rook to b2 and threaten mate + block his queen and u avoid the entire end game
Yup
Rf2 blocks doesn't it?
@@johnjameson6751 Nope. The king alone can't defend the rook on F2 against a queen+rook battery. He could just capture the rook.
@@cptnoremac But the queen is on d4, so can also take. Maybe we are referring to different points in the game. At 11:30 it is white to move.
@@johnjameson6751 He's talking about when the queen goes to the corner.
“Sorry about that” Agadmator forgot and had us all with a weird feeling of emptiness
Yesssssssss!!!! Where have you been all my life?
Much Love Agadmator....
#suggestion Game 9 from Vishy and Magnus's wcc match, and I'd especially like to see some crazy lines after bf1 instead of nf1 as the position seems very interesting.
Already made video
I would like to see some top level games involving dramatic blunders by one of the players.
"Throw in the towel" Yes! 👍
Why not be the guy that takes all the pawns? There are more elegant ways of winning, but at that point, you're just mopping up before scoring the win.
I love mopping up because it’s rare that I have that opportunity! 😂
oftentimes not the fastest or most optimal way to end the end
I was feeling sad until I saw you wearing sunglasses. Then I realised everything is cool
Great instructional game! Quick question to all: Am I missing something with the hanging pawn on c4 for several minutes starting at 8:25? Or is because it can be captured anytime?
Same here, I don't understand why he didn't take it and then double up on the C file.
9:18 Qd4+ guards the a pawn, then f5 next move shuts out white's rook diffusing the Q and R battery on f7. also then white's c pawn is an easy target. 11:28 if Qa1 then Rb2 forces the queen to give itself up for rook or its mate in 2. 12:54 again Rb2 is decisive.

Hi sir, at 7:05 have you considered Queen b6 with check and followed by rook e3? :) at 14:28 Rook h3 after bisshop b1, wonderful played though

Hello Antonio , what's the Update on your next Saga., About William Stinetz ?
Can you show any Nigel Short v Kasparov games from their world championship? Many Thanks
I would love to see some topalov games, cuz you havent showed a game of his where he won
7:44 He can't take the rook because the rook is already on e3 capturing the Queen, however it will still give him the last line Pawn with protection!
#suggestion Stenitz Saga!
"Time to put the pieces in the cupboard" savage
#suggestion I enjoy anything you put up but it would be like Christmas to have a Karpov Saga, or Spassky!
It's really nice
9:00
"this is completely winning, so it's not very interesting, but let's go for a clean conversion"
... proceeds to make a series of lazy blunders
WHY ???
at the very least, just grub all his pawns
10:31 😂😂😂😂i too use this phrase everyday
#Suggestion can you do a series where you feature engine vs engine games. Some of those games are just fireworks. Love your work agad keep up
Appreciate if you can change your board colour
That raised eyebrow is your trademark

I still haven't figured out why he bends down in the start of every video. 🤔 What does he adjust?
Qe5? at e7 the b7 pawn was defended and Rxc4 was possible. There was also a faster way to get the 2 rooks on the 7th rank which was indefensible.
Whatever happened to the long-promised series on Steinitz???
Crushing! Gg!
Anything with Anna Cramling. Or all of her games.
#suggestion Chucky's games. Legend Vassily Ivanchuk's birthday 😊😊
Can you cover some games from the current African tournaments

Request: post more of your games
that oooook at 21:48 😃😄

You missed attacking along the 2 row with queen and rook .. I find it very strange you missed that.

Spectacular game
"I don't want to be the guy who just gives a check", "I don't want to be the guy who just takes a pawn".... that's me. I'm that guy
#suggestion still waiting for that steinitz saga boss!!!
Adam Jenson in the thumbnail?
Should have given a check with the Queen here. 7:05
Please show some Sasha Grischuk games #suggestion
Feel free to pause de Video here, and win the game for Antonio here, while I give you a couple of seconds.
#suggestion The blitz game of Wesley vs Kasparov 2016(day2) where he crushed Kasparov with brilliant sacrifices!
#Suggestion show us some games from American Cup.
Suggest one
@@agadmator Second game beetween Levon Aronian and Ray Robson. It features Grunfeld Defense.
21:55 Rb2
"... and what do you know, I was sort of playing the main line."
#suggestion
Plz play king's gambit in your games
Antonio, Do you think seeing so many top level games has improved your chess too?
17:53 Re1 mate in 2 ??
Ben Finegold: Time to reset the pieces
12:30 or just line up the rook by going to b2 and it's all over but you don't mention that one again..
A-God: I don't wanna snitch a pawn. (His opponent takes a pawn). Alright, I will take the pawn 😅
“Props to my opponent for being the most annoying player ever” damn agad tell us how you really feel😂
28. Rb2 and then 29. as well should be nearly automatic.
I wonder how agad always revolving 2200😂😂
You lose some, you win some 😅
Nice to see relative moves not gm typa moves😂😂😂
I love the big hoodie. GG
Im the best in the world at converting a good position into a losing one
Resigning. Put your hat on and leave. Steintz opponent did this in the face of a forced mate. Nice game if you have yet covered it
He was afraid of losing his queen on the trade.
love these videos, keep it up
Pa dobro si odigrao ovu partiju stvarno nije lose
.... missed "as there is nothing more to be done here"
my teacher always said if u can take a pawn for free then take it
The English, yes!
Show carsen game
Lookin' fly my drilla
