I like the brilliant signs, but only the ones you feel like putting up. Like you said, there are some that make you wonder why it's called a brilliant move
As I understand it, the brilliant moves assigned by chess sites are given only when a sacrifice is offered and sometimes it is an obvious (but still excellent) move and sometimes they are truly brilliant. For your videos, I’d just call them as you see them and ignore what our friend the engine says.
100% agree with this comment, the majority of us as viewers of this channel are lower rated and are educated by your videos, I think your opinion on whether a move deserves a brilliant logo goes a long way into improving our vast knowledge!
Myself I like seeing the Brilliant !! move highlighted mainly because I love seeing them in my own games when I’m fortunate enough to get one but I’ll go with majority consensus and whatever you feel is best thanks Agadmator
1:29 Yup. Just need to remember that Queen and King shouldn't be on the same diagonal, same file, same rank or see a square that is within a knight's distance from both pieces, and voila you have gained 200 ELO points!!!
brilliant game! Do put on the brilliant sign, it looks good. Also haven’t seen morphy head for quite a long time. You can introduce fischer head/tal head depending on the game, just a suggestion.
A masterpiece. The brilliance sign is not necessary. We all know excellence when we see it. Sadly I didn't see the rook sacrifice to win the game. C4 is exceptional.
Thank you for your videos. I feel like you think too much about what we want. Imo it doesn't matter if the videos are super long or a bit shorter, or if the "brilliant move" symbol is there or not. We love your videos already. No need to reinvent your channel. :) ❤
#suggestion yes brilliant mark is helpful. And timing youbare a natural Sir, you know better which game should be 11 min long or 20. Thank you for reviewing and lessons.

Brilliant itself seems to be misinterpreted a while lot of times. There certainly are moves deserving brilliant tags, but then there also comes beginner tactics and such basic ideas tagged as brilliant that it loses its credibility. It's up to your good judgement to classify a move as brilliant
Yes put it , we will understand if engine thinks it's good or bad noove , even if u don't put doesn't matter , u mention it sometimes , great explication so it all good 👍
The brilliant move sign is a great addition, but of course save it for the absolutely beautiful moves that change the tide of a game. I trust that you will know what these are!
I like the brillant exlamation marks but would love to hear yout comments behind it - meaning if it's kinda pointless in your opinion, I want to hear it. Thank you
#suggestion agad what about the world vs anand? I thought we would explore the current position everyday (no engines). Is it somewhere else in the channel?
That was a very nice attacking game except I do not understand why, instead of 21. Nxe6, white did not move 21. Rh3! If 21…Be5, then 22. f4. Does that not win immediately in a very simple fashion?
@@omeraksu7542 they do look kind of comical in a way but yeah I love seeing them in my own game reviews But as you stated Agadmator tells the story of what is transpiring on the board
Personally I don't like all the addons on the chessboard, that is, clock times, evaluation bar, and now these exclamation marks. The reason I was drawn into this channel was Antonio's narration of the game like a story unfolding. With all these extras, the storytelling part of the video diminishes. Note: This is my personal opinion. Discussing the topic respectfully is fine, but I won't get drawn into any arguments.
@@curiouscat9 strong argument I see where you are coming from I kind of go either way I don’t necessarily see them as a bad thing than again it is Agadmator that is narrating the game
@@SpazzMatticusTheGreat I used to like it better when Antonio would give out that information when he considered it relevant. "The situation on the clock here is Player X has 2 minutes, while Player Y has over 30 minutes." or "Player X spent over 20 minutes on the next move." Even now, I pay attention to the clock times only when Antonio draws attention to it.
give the brilliant mark whenever you think the move deserves it. we’re humans not computers. sometimes computers are strange the way they award moves and i enjoy human analysis more anyway
@@daviddurbin7682 I don’t think he does I do just because I watch many chess Channels I get laughs out of people that think epic chess is so great it’s ok doesn’t come close to Agadmator and almost everything James shows is Magnus Magnus Magnus I’m not knocking Epic Chess it’s a good chess channel to watch but not quite up to Agadmator Standard
@@agadmator he uses the phrase c4 the most explosive move in chess all the time. Never heard anyone else say that. Thought he was trying to copy you for your championing b4
i love the inside jokes of this channel “b4” and “our good friend the bishop” and “your uncle” all make me smile when i hear them
One of the best fanbase I've seen in RUclips space
Everyone here seems pretty chill and respectful
I love sneaky ideas more than nasty discoveries.
Sorry about that
That's not a pawn/ bishop/ knight etc. when Agad takes the wrong piece
It was in this position
I like the brilliant signs, but only the ones you feel like putting up. Like you said, there are some that make you wonder why it's called a brilliant move
same opinion here
You read my mind ❤
I say use them rarely.

More of these hidden gems please
The presentation was just right, i.m.o. Your channel, your commentary, and the great “pause the video” moments made me follow chess again.
C4: the most explosive move on the board! I understood that reference.
Why isn't this getting more likes? hahaha
Antonio made that reference for Finegold enjoyers.
I personally think it’s okay for you to show the brilliant move. However i would appreciate if you bring back the Morphy head or Tal Move.
Or barnhead😂
#suggestion definitely bring back the Morphy head for these kind of beautiful creative attacking games
I prefer the Morphy head over the Brilliant!!
Y yo tambien!
Myself I like seeing the Brilliant !! move highlighted mainly because I love seeing them in my own games when I’m fortunate enough to get one but I’ll go with majority consensus and whatever you feel is best thanks Agadmator
I like seeing the brilliant mark. It's a good touch.
Agadmator proves if you do what you love, the world loves what you do.
11:00 people complain too much sir. i just get happy whenever agadmator's video notif pops up!!!
Same dude.
Great job with a phenomenal game. Just the right amount of time, variations, and pauses. And well played!
no to "??" or "!!" marks. i like that you provide your analysis with computer help in the background
Agadmator really thinks poorly about my uncle's chess skills.
Are you Magnus Carlsen's nefew?
@@stevesmith4600 I remember as a kid whupping my uncles one took it in stride the other one got mad as hell 😅
@elaadt that’s what I came here to say 🤣
I think poorly that your name is the same as a cricketer I don't like!
(I joke of course)
My nephews call me Druncle.
award a brilliancy where you see fit
No words to express how thankful I feel for having the chance to see these pause moments to think and task yourself
1:29 Yup. Just need to remember that Queen and King shouldn't be on the same diagonal, same file, same rank or see a square that is within a knight's distance from both pieces, and voila you have gained 200 ELO points!!!
Awesome, I played against GM Erik in OTB classical game once
Thats so cool. Whats your OTB rating!
nice story bro
@@GregoriousApartment 2180 atm
@@taurtue lol you dont believe me ok
Antonio, what I don't like is the moving camera. I think I prefer the old one. Nevertheless, the camera gave us some funny moments, we must admit.
Thanks for all the 'pause the video moments', I take them seriously and churn my brain and i guess they are paying off !
Kudos
Agadmator likes One Punch Man. Nice.
If agad doesnt make a video just after the game finishes ! Then it has to be really a hidden GEM
5:42 "Even your uncle would have a good time with this" - Hilarious!
brilliant game! Do put on the brilliant sign, it looks good. Also haven’t seen morphy head for quite a long time. You can introduce fischer head/tal head depending on the game, just a suggestion.
Antonio, go back and watch this one and keep an eye on the camera zoom doing, well... weird moves
Agadmator: "nothing weird happening here..."
The camera: "say no more" (zooms in and out)
11:31 ah thaaah That's the game! is always brilliant !!
A masterpiece. The brilliance sign is not necessary. We all know excellence when we see it. Sadly I didn't see the rook sacrifice to win the game. C4 is exceptional.
I like shortened vids from
Agadamato
Excellent, I really enjoyed that one, thanks. :)
Magnus’ niece when he/she hears “Even your uncle would win this”: Duuuuh.
Thank you for your videos. I feel like you think too much about what we want. Imo it doesn't matter if the videos are super long or a bit shorter, or if the "brilliant move" symbol is there or not. We love your videos already. No need to reinvent your channel. :) ❤
This is a great game
2 ! is quite satisfying to see after you have stayed 5 mins staring in the chessboard trying to find it XD.
Including the brilliant icon on the interface would be awesome!
I like !! keep it Agad
It's fine. Using your notations improves the outlook of the game.
Good advise to move king early, cheers Agadmador
great example of attack and defence👍
I have yet to watch this, is the title a One Punch Man reference?
Great job Erik, heja!! We really need to start competing with our Scandinavian neighbours haha
Yesss please show the brilliant signs!!
#suggestion yes brilliant mark is helpful. And timing youbare a natural Sir, you know better which game should be 11 min long or 20. Thank you for reviewing and lessons.
Love the brilliant tag
I wonder why black didn't open the B file by taking b7*c6 when Nd4*Nc6, I especially expected that explanation from Agadmator and as usual, he does.
I love the brilliant marks!
Like brilliant mark!!
That's a beautiful game right there
Yes be sure to show brilliant and great move

Thanks!
Feel free to put the brillant marks when u consider it, also u can show the eval bar in some positions
In addition on brilliant sign, other moves signs can be intersting and learning
we prefer the morphy head actually, i'm still upset we don't use it anymore
That's a master piece
I like the brilliant mark just please use it at your own discretion and not at the computers.
Third video i am asking: please fix the zoom of your camera! The zoom is overactive.

Yeah mate good middle ground hey cheers

I prefer your run throughs without the move evaluation signs.
Beautiful.
Use the brilliant notifications as you see fit.
Yes put it , we will understand if engine thinks it's good or bad noove , even if u don't put doesn't matter , u mention it sometimes , great explication so it all good 👍

Why not Bxe6 at the 2nd PtVM? Then forking if they capture.
That was a very nice attacking game except I do not understand why, instead of 21. Nxe6, white did not move 21. Rh3! If 21…Be5, then 22. f4. Does that not win immediately in a very simple fashion?
My chess is usually a Series of Unfortunate Events
I don't like the marks on the board they are too bright for a classic board. I like when you announce and analyze it. Words are stronger in this case.

Brilliant sign is attractive !
IMO, I would leave it to the engines to decide the brilliant sign
Ohh how I felt so stupid when Antonio said: the move in question is pawn to B4. My dumb ass was like what does B4 even do??!!😮😮

Nice, I'm from România
What is the phobia about a3 b4?????
The brilliant icon on a move is okay.
Prefer not having exclamation marks on the board, but I want you to verbalize how impressive a move is, or is not. Hope that made sense.
I enjoy the brilliant symbol but only if not abused 😊
Bishop d3. Is a move only a player like Mikhail Tal would find. You really have to be a barbarian to find that kind of move

is that an OPM reference in the title?
I would say don't show the machine generated exclams, because if it really was brilliant you would show it in slow motion.
