Antonio, nice illustration of 'knight on the rim'. The essential Na5, characteristic of the entire Ng5 variation, remained there vulnerable and ineffective while the fianchettoed black square bishop was a monster. The game was decided on the black squares f6, g7 and h6. I would say black was not kind to his pieces. He needed a plan for that knight.
Good game, learned some and I won the first 'scream to Agad' moment as I screamed for bishop captures on h6 Lost another two after that. I know you would not be too keen on it, but I believe most enthousiasts/amateurs lack in end game. From what I understand you are quite competent/solid in your endgames and I always look out to learn from such situations, when it's down to tablespace games and especially with just kings and pawns or maybe one other major piece left. Thank you.
Love the "scream to Agad moment" terminology, especially since like you I did exactly that when I saw the potential bishop captures move. Getting these right in real time is far more satisfying than pause the screen moments.
Agad I have been watching your videos for years, but these videos explaining moves while playing are really helpful, please do more of this, there is a lot to learn
I really like these videos of yours. I think I can often times learn more from this than from Hikarus games since the skill gap is too big. With you i can learn way more
Sometimes when I've been wanting to play a move for the whole game and finally I get the opportunity, I get blinded and don't see that there's a better move. I think that this is what happened to you when you missed that Bxh6. You really wanted to play Bb2 and take the long diagonal since the game started haha. Thank you Antonio, this was very interesting as always. Keep up the good work
11:20 omg I really wanted to see a Greek gift with Antonio taking that pawn and if King captures I could totally see mate Edit 22:45 I was friggin RIGHT

2nd: PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's WIFE vs Wesley's GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc
I think after Rxg7 they could have played kxg7 and after Rxf6 played Qxf6 because the rook on e2 would no longer be blocked from mating on e1 with the queen not covering it
Greetings from the ranks, A heartfelt note of appreciation for the treasures you share on this board! ❤ In the grand theater of chess, a new knight has captured my attention-Tunde Onakoya. His moves and strategies remain an enigma, a puzzle I am eager to solve. Could you, the guardian of this ancient game, illuminate his path and battles for me? Your wisdom in unveiling his tales would be a boon. With anticipation for your sage insights, Yours in the spirit of the game,

Nothing really. Members of the channel get to see my videos a bit sooner than everyone else. It's a symbolic thanks for supporting the channel. But all my content is and always will be 100% free.
The idea of White pawn b3 and Bb2 in the game variation doesn't work if Black plays energetically. 13.O-O Bg4 14.b3 now 14...Ne4 and if then 15.Bb2 Bxf3 16.Bxf3 Qh4 17.g3 Nxg3 or worse 17.h3 Ng5. White position is terrible.
Yes, the good stuff. Vau. Rook G7 was so nice found. Agad u are not just example for 800 elo rating. U are CM, and u are playing really really well. It inspiring to listen you. You are just perfect chess guy to me. Simple, fun and clever. And a human. Chess is a game for all, not just Gm-s. I am near 2000 on rapid(lichess), and i am so far far from you. Živio:)
Hey Antonio. Just want to give you some honest feedback. I really like your content but sometimes you show so many variations that the actual game gets lost in it. Variations are good to see but I think you go too far with it sometimes. Just something to consider. The actual moves of the players is why the game gets chosen. Not the variations. But some variations are an interesting addition. Not sure what the balance point is.
No! Variations are the fun. You get to know what the players were thinking, why they made the move or avoided the seemingly obvious ones. We should check the variations obviously and even if sometimes, he does go deep, we don't mind coz it shows the level of the players.
Good Game Antonio you are definitely way ahead of me with your calculations they all served you well in this game it was a bit of the Wei to go with that Rook sacrifice Thanks for the Game Enjoyed 😊♟️
"some of my ideas are bad, some of them are terrible" 😂😂 I can relate to that @agadmator
If it's any consolation, 99.99%+ of the people reading your comment can relate as well, including myself.
The goal is to make only bad ideas hahahaha😂😂😂😂
Thanks, Antonio. Your channel is so relaxing while also thought provoking.
-I have no fears
-What if Agadmator stops making rapid videos?
-I have one fear
How did you survive these days then?? Are you alive even??
heheh, true thatxD

Thanks for the great Tata Steel coverage.
I've enjoyed your tournament coverage for years now, but these rapid games have an intensely personal touch that make them my favorite of your content
Good game, learned some and I won the first 'scream to Agad' moment as I screamed for bishop captures on h6
Lost another two after that.

thanks for the video... i was waiting whole day... its a drug for me. ❤ and I m happy to be addicted to it 😊
Drugs are good:)
Game and then the analysis. No better teacher than this. Thank you.
Tata Steel was great, but I was missing this, so thanks ❤😊
13:53 I've been screaming Rg3 at my screen for the last minute (at least)
Couldn't you heart me?
11:25 I saw Bxh6 gh Rg3+ Kf8 and Rf1. And white should win here I think 🤔
Found out I was right later in the video 😂
I found the same thing! Bishop takes h6 and the queen dances 🎉Good spot!
I really like these videos of yours. I think I can often times learn more from this than from Hikarus games since the skill gap is too big. With you i can learn way more
This was amazing, you played really good!
Today I realised I got to the same rating as Agadmator.
Thanks agad, ur the best teacher
22:33 I KNEW IT!!!
Awesome thanks for posting/playing
This was great to watch. Cool seeing the clean analysis guy playing a little dirty :)
Glad to see you back.
Very instructional! Thanks.
Can you turn more engine lines (5) when analyzing games? Nice game!
I already commented for this before but I believe 3 lines would do.
14:41 R take F5 wasn’t the best move? I just want to know if it would be a blunder or not

That was an interesting game. I am glad to see you back at Lichess.
What's wrong with pawn B4
Hvaljena neka su nebesa, on ima puno manje vremena. Ajde da smo i to vidjeli :)
11:20 omg I really wanted to see a Greek gift with Antonio taking that pawn and if King captures I could totally see mate
Edit 22:45 I was friggin RIGHT
@3:18 how did black pawn capture white pawn
When you passed on the Greek Gift, I thought well, I must be wrong.

Great especially considering all the variations with the engines that are possible these days, they would be great.
I can´t understand why this channel stagnated at 1.31M subs?? Its mindboggling...
RUclips algorithm is entirely responsible for channel growth. They nuke channels by shadow banning etc.
One question mark is inaccuracy
Two question marks are blunders✌🏻
I'm happy I actually saw Bxh6 during the game.
2nd: PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner!
Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end.
It's Hikaru's WIFE vs Wesley's GIRLFRIEND.

I think after Rxg7 they could have played kxg7 and after Rxf6 played Qxf6 because the rook on e2 would no longer be blocked from mating on e1 with the queen not covering it
Queen back to c1 and sacrifice the bishop for f6 pawn. If he captures, take the h6 pawn with the queen, and slide rook over next move.
I saw Bxh6 but thought he can just escape fo f8 and e8. Did not even think about Rf1
AI and engines are threating not only entire mankind but chess as well...
"Sacrificing stuff gets you places." Just like in life.

Should've considered captures on f6 when your rooks were doubled
I saw the bishop sac!
Lower-rated player here ;)
Welcome to the channel.
Why amazing agad match have less views 🤔
#suggestion Antonio Play kings gambit plz in the next game
I think your rook sacrifice is more difficult to spot than the bishop sacrifice you missed.
Well done

After Rxe2, Bxh6 looks juicy ^^
Not sure if it works but for a blitz, definitely try it
Edit : later in the video I have my answer ;)
Dude you should've sacked the bishop on h6 for a checkmating attack
Nice
More videos like this

Thx 4 that
He almost got you..if the king took the rook and sacrifice the queen😁
It's therapy

is rook sack on f6 not working?
Just checked. gxf6, Rxf6, Qxf6, Qxf6 and Re1 mate.
