Agadmator is so unintentionally funny, from his slow mo moves to how he casually shuns certain moves and just scoffs at how badly you'd get destroyed if you played them. Absolutely love this guy and watching his vids invigorate my love of chess.
No doubts the queen sac is amazing... But the poor knight on g5 also deserves a bit of a mention.! What a game by Gukesh...all the Indian youngsters are playing spectacular chess and entertaining us..happy that someone suggested this game to Antonio.
I've noticed that the world's top ten or twenty players can push the pawns defending their king, leaving their king defenseless, and amazingly they can get away with it. They are the only ones who can.
I think they're very good at calculating whether their attack is fast enough to survive the weaknesses they've created, and that's the main reason the top 20 players are able to get away with it more often than their lower-rated compatriots.
@@21abhinavpatel Well put! That's true too of many other elements of their strategy. As you say, they calculate precisely how many moves it will take for the attack to succeed, and whether their opponent can overcome their defense in fewer moves than that. The rest of us can't make such a sophisticated calculation. I've lost many games because I overestimated by a move or two the speed of my attack or the slowness of my opponent's attack.
@@21abhinavpatel Exactly. Everytime I try to replicate their strats I get insta checkmated because my king is defended by one pawn against 2 knights, a bishop, a rook, 3 pawns and a queen.
Funny you said this on a video where someone got punished for pushing their pawns in front of the king? But yeah, he's not top-20 so maybe that's what you meant? You can see Gukesh pawns in front of his king is still unmoved.
I really liked the way you recapped the moves again at the end starting at around 9:10. I'm a relative beginner so maybe lots of your other viewers don't benefit from that, but for me, watching the moves again now knowing how the game ended really helps me understand why they're so powerful. With the context it's even more enjoyable watching those moves a second time.
I don't think Pakistan ever had a GM. But Bangladesh on the other hand have few GMs and they are good, fought well at chess olympiad recently. Good luck to them both!
I am completely new to Chess and I have been watching your videos for a while now, but I have learned a few things that I see in almost every chess game. Always keep your king behind pawns, never get a check from a knight as you can’t block it with anything, don’t let the opponent’s pawn cross midline, avoid the opponent’s two knights attacking together, and have some space for the king to move.
Antonio, you do an amazing job choosing nice games for us. First a queen side castle into a fork, and now this!! I can't believe how a hundred's of years old game still yields jaw dropping moments in 2022 on a regular basis.
Thank you for the advice. I would have played the knight to c6 with black, called it the 4 knights variation confident it was the best move in the position
@@mridgaf3233 yea but still that guy played horribly exposing his king to the bishops and queen like that. like sure u attack but u gotta defend ur most important piece as well
lol yeh me too I sometimes sac my Queen then immediately resign because the forced checkmate I have seen 10 moves in advance will be too embarrassing for my opponent.
Amazing indeed from Gukesh. Gawain is also very attacking and so the game between them have to be a great ride for sure. Its just that he met someone who is a juggernaut at the moment. Look at him beating David today from a worse position once David made one mistake and it was resignation 5 moves later !!!
Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa sacrificed his Queen against Jan-Krzystof Duda in the Julius Baer Generation Cup (2022). It's a thrilling game, can you make a video on that game, pretty please?
At 9.25 of the game what about instead of black playing bf5 he plays bishop takes b2. That takes away the white bishop which is pretty dangerous at this moment. Pls suggest.
Sir in that critical position on the pose the video moment I think Bf7 is also winning as it will lead to checkmate in a different way. Anyway great game very greatful for you sir to showing search games to us thanks.
The point where a mistake or blunder happens in these games should be pointed out in my opinion. Otherwise it's really difficult to make out where exactly the mistake occurred.
Agadmator usually does precisely that. In this case, I don't believe there was a blunder. It's just that pushing the pawns defending your king only works for the very top players. You can't really call it a blunder, because they do it and win. For the rest of us, just don't do it!
@@GeraldM_inNC probably the clearest example of a massive blunder I've seen in high level games, i mean it loses a whole piece. It's just a basic principle not to push pawns defending the king when there are not one but 2 monster bishops and a queen scoping it
@@smolytchannel5062 yeah I can't even tell what he calculated wrong, the position looked so hopeless from the moment he weakened the king side cause of the white bishops as well as white controlling the centre.
Agadmator mentioned that on move 21. ... Qd6 was required. He actually played 21. ... Bc8. That was the beginning of the end. Here is some of Stockfish's evaluation. 13. ... Na5 +0.5 14. ... Bh6 +0.94 17. ... Rce8 +0.96 18. ... f5 +1.83 21. ... Bc8 +3.54 You can see that f5 was pretty bad but then Bc8 was losing.
i noticed you recently started saying "pawn to" before pawn moves, instead of just saying the move. (i.e. "Gukesh plays pawn to b5" instead of simply "Gukesh plays b5"). is that because beginners were having trouble understanding which piece was moving unless you specified "pawn to..." before saying the move? just wondering. love your videos.
It is not explicitly mentioned at 8:10, but QxB2 by black would have resulted in R to H7 checkmate by white, that is why the queen is just completely immobilized and helpless
On the surrender move at 8:15 what would have happened if black played queen captures bishop at b2? I feel like there was a way out but I'm not that good at chess so maybe I just don't see it?
Not to take away from his brilliancy, but it seemed very intuitive that white would be activating the bishop pair from hell. Black opened up his kingside, white had 2 bishops, the diagonals threats were apparent. The queen sac was just a poisoned piece positioned to allow white to pile up alongside the hellish bishop duo.
Q: in the ratings section you shown 4 Russian players with a strange flag next to their names. Are things that petty with RUclips and the World that even Russias flag is banned? Or is it something else?.

I can't even remembered the last time it was rewarded.

I see what u did there
Congratulation to Gukesh for winning the rare and coveted Morphy's head!

Absolutely, those are all things to bear in mind. Once enough material is off the board, the king can advance to attack.
Anand still in top 10 is impressive.
Young Morphy: I am tactics
Gukesh: *let me introduce myself*
Morphy is Morphy with 84 percent win ratio
What a beautiful exploitation of open diagonals!
Hi, I enjoy your comments in mato's videos cuz they're informative as well. Stay safe and thank you ✨
The "bishops from Hell!"
Antonio, you do an amazing job choosing nice games for us. First a queen side castle into a fork, and now this!! I can't believe how a hundred's of years old game still yields jaw dropping moments in 2022 on a regular basis.
I'm quite impressed that Gawain Jones was able to figure out the response to the move at 1:02 that even stumped the world champion Magnus Carlsen
I'm from the future. Not only did Gukesh qualify for the candidates. He won!
Thank you for explaining ❤🎉
the final move reminds me of rubinstein's immortal, moving the rook and leaving the queen pinned.
This is true.
The only channel that almost never bored me and will never. I wish I had listened to my academics so well. 😁😂
Gukesh demolished the opponent here!
For some reason Kasparov came to mind more then Morphy. What a brilliancy sacing the d pawn.
Gukesh deserves to play a tournament against super GMs to see how he fares.
Future world champion!
Weeeeeeell...
Gukesh vs Liren
Gukesh: Take my Queen.
Gawain: No thanks.
Gukesh: No, I insist. Take my Queen.

Agadmator is a chess investigator 👌 The way you analyze chess games are insane bro keep up the good work greetings from 🇸🇴Somalia
White plays so much stronger than black. Hard to believe it's only 100 elo difference.
I was thinking the same thing.
100 elo is a massive difference at the top level

Antonio, you are just golden, my friend. Your dry humor makes me rotfl every time.
That was a great game to watch! And well narrated too.
Truly Spectacular stuff from Gukesh!!Thanks Agadmator
I sac my queen too. Involuntarily.
LOL. Me too!
lol yeh me too I sometimes sac my Queen then immediately resign because the forced checkmate I have seen 10 moves in advance will be too embarrassing for my opponent.
im even better i sac my king.
Wow! May him be blessed with more and more abundance, prosperity, great health, immense wealth and happiness

Simply brilliant. Gukesh, Arjun and Paggu are the future Magnus the magnificent.

On a seperate note, I really dislike that Giri fella. Anyone else feel the same?. I don’t have a legitimate reason there is just something about him.

Hello how do I watch the video?
At 7:01 can we play Bishop f7?
Will it work?
I will have to go rewatch some of the Morphy saga now
An alternate title for this video could have been "Sir Gawain and the Three Knights".
i noticed you recently started saying "pawn to" before pawn moves, instead of just saying the move.
(i.e. "Gukesh plays pawn to b5" instead of simply "Gukesh plays b5").
is that because beginners were having trouble understanding which piece was moving unless you specified "pawn to..." before saying the move?

Dear agadmator,i found the move bishop to F7 at 7:03 .Will any engine treat it as 'brillaint' for 1300 rated like me?
yes, lots of tactics. Loved the game
This shows the matchless beauty of chess,when handled by a Master,a game for reference.
Please tell me what if the Queen takes bishop on B2...where he resigned the game...
Do a video about the last online game where Hans and Magnus played recently
Awesome. Such a powerful attack that was unexpected and with a Queen sacrifice to boot.,
Yo love ur vids
Hate to seem my favored Gruenfeld brutlaized in such a fashion.
I've been laughing at the slow move move for a billion videos and somehow it never gets old
Slow motion was a nice touch
That was such a brutal finish. I know 100 elo difference is big but the opponent is still a 2600+ player and got outplayed to such a high degree.
He is former 2700
Why aren't there flags for Nepo and Karjakin ad Grischuk?
Pause the video moment: Bishop d to f7 should be a faster mate i think. Let me know thoughts please
