@Donald Trump you high bro?? Just what trap are you talking about? And that fool word? With all the trades, it left black rook on a better square. Takes the d4 pawn and start pushing his pawn. You can even massacre the White's whole pawns there lmao. That being said, with black three connected pawns vs a doubled pawns and 4 connected pawns vs 3 connected pawns with black rook more active with its open file and those white pawns unguarded and all, you thought that's a trap?
'This position has never been reached again' makes me think that the position is so out of modern theory that no one played it again. While 'this is completely new game' makes me think that the player had most probably researched the theory of that position in detail. I don't know why I think that.

They're two totally different things! "The position has never been reached again" means it was the last time it was played. It's significant for *historical* games because it's been that much time since the position was seen in a recorded game (over 160 years, in this case). It's possible the position was reached in games before that, in which case 'we have a completely new game' wouldn't make sense. "We have a completely new game" means it was the first recorded time it was played. It's significant for *modern* games because it's the first time in recorded history it's been seen, when recorded history goes back hundreds of years - a new game being played this year means it's the first time, over hundreds of years, that it was played.
I recently tried searching for a chess anime and couldn't find anything. And then this man comes out with a chess manga. Agadmator delivers as per usual.
That's a really nice idea to throw some information for beginners - awesome possibility to recall some hidden knowledge or fill in any holes you made while learning chess
I am currently enjoying chess again for the first time since I was a teenager and I really appreciate your analysis of these games! Especially when you go in depth into the purpose of each move, what they are setting up etc. and also the explanation of rook lifts and the subtleties surrounding these techniques. Thank you!
@@francismartinevans no Rh8 check forces king to capture the white rook and leave the defense of black queen which white queen can capture in the next move
Antonio. You are excellent, don't change your commentary, its perfect. By showing the battles of Morphy and his colleagues you bring true piece of history event.
I have been watching this channel since morning starting with Ivanchuk brilliancy against Shirov in Linares 1996 and now Morphy and still not bored with the way he explains chess and pronounces all those names perfectly. Great stuff #growthegame
@@mridulkumar7371 You're in for a treat. Some of his Morphy games he reviewed a long time ago, and is going over them again for the new saga so there are a few repeats but all of his content is grade A.

12:32 there's a tactic in this position: instead of capturing the rook, white can play Rh8 distracting King from the defence of the Queen. Once the Rook is captured, Queen takes Queen.
I really enjoyed this video for some reason. Just on fatal mistake and it is done even if the material is almost equal. And as always I loved the "welcome back to the good stuff"
While Morphy was a genius, we shouldn't always attribute his rare mistakes to 'playing fast' or 'not caring' - occasionally even Morphy could just make a plain old mistake.
He was very prideful, though, and he did see himself as better than others. It wouldn't be crazy for him to be petty and intentionally try less/play lazily against people he considers worse than him.
Great videos agad I love this saga. Should Morphy have been allowed to keep his Morphy head after blundering the King and Pawn endgame? Maybe you should have replaced it with a picture of austin powers or something.
I could be wrong but I think it should be “this position was never reached before” because “this position was never reached again” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a new move in the position. It all depends on what you actually wanna say
I'm not picking up the big difference, so it probably requires a few more words to really get the idea across. I thought argadmator was implying that, after study, no one cared to play this again.
The difference is Was never reached again = no one played this line again AFTER the game occurred Was never reached before = completely new game There is a big difference difference but it depends on what agad means.
@@bahaaaddintaleb401 never reached again = this was the last time this game was played, people could have played this position before (meaning it does not imply that it is a new game) never reached before = no one on record has played this before, but it is possible that people have reached this position later not sure what agad is trying to say either. but if he wants to say the position is unique, then neither of those statements work. if he wants to say the position is new then he should say it was never reached before.
12:32 Other than capturing the rook you can also play Rook h8 check. If king captures it then just capture the queen. If king moves to g7,then Queen captures queen is checkmate. I just saw it so I told guys. :)
One day a computer will invent the Best Opening Ever and Agad will have to say, "And it is as of move 13 that this position has always been reached again."
12:32 after Qh6 by black, Rh8+ wins the queen regardless. Agadmator missing this and instead goes for the hanging rook makes me proud of myself for finding it instantly
Rh8+ was what I saw too but I think picking up the free R is better than swapping R for Q. White can't mate soon with just Q vs R and black can maybe cause problems with those centre pawns. I expect QR vs Q is more difficult for black with a constant threat of mate and forced Q exchange.
CommissionerSleer i dont see any mates after Qxg4, black can just force queen trades, and it would have been a whole rook advatnage endgame. Not sure if RK vs K is better than KQ vs KR end game.
@@saresa2566 My take on it is that there definitely isn't a mate threat after Rh8+ but there's a constant mate threat if black's Q ever stops defending. WHITE can force the Q trade and would be happy to because an R vs 0 ending is a trivial win for white: much easier than Q vs R. The R can bully the Q and possibly hope to escort a pawn. No chance of that in R vs 0. I think Antonio (and presumably his engine) are right that QxR is the best continuation.
For everybody wondering why Agadmator did not cover Rh8+ at the end, it's probably because Qxg4 is simply a better move. Black will have to trade queens immediately to avoid checkmate, and Rook vs. pawns is a much better endgame than Queen vs. Rook.
12:25 Morphy could have also won the queen with RookH8 check. If you capture the rook, the queen is undefended. If you don't, you capture the queen, and your own queen is defended
Every second comment is like "Rh8 wins the queen!", but as Agadmator often says, "Morphy was an artist not a butcher.". He would often look for the cleverest ways to win, and not always go for the brutal obvious.
& it was in this position I began to wonder how much the 'deadpool threatening to decapitate a chocobo' t-shirt cost. It ould really impress my friends at the local library !
12:32, once the black queen blocks, you can go Rook H8 with check, if King takes, white Queen takes Queen, and if he moves to G7, then White Rook takes Queen 💀
I hope the next big saga will be Alekhine because he's the one who popularized modern chess strategy, I want his great knowledge in modern chess strategy in rule independence,unlimited possibilities against Capablanca's classical chess where he mainly based on principle and rules, and his limited possibilities.
For some reason I thought the chess manga will be about Capablanca or something like that; not a post-apocalyptic scifi. Well, let's wait a few more days and get into it
Hey!! Last move black blocks with Qh6 but white doesn't take the rook but instead gives check with Rh8 and picks up the Queen ! 😁 Ok they all lead to victory but better pick a queen up along the way if you can
What if you said "it is as of this move that we have a completely unique game". It solves the problem of the whole "new" vs. "never reached again" thing.
let's award Lowenthal, the Lowenthal head. knows theory but forgets plan at the crucial moment and blunders
Man best comment award
With how I play, it's probably the only way I'll ever get "a head" in the game.
"Bro, do you even lift?" - Morphy to Lowenthal, probably.
@Ahmed Kyree definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)
I've never fully understood GM games until Agads channel which clarifies their every move. Big thanks for that.
Not every move but yeah....I mean his analysis is good enough for average casual players
"This position has never been reached again" reminds me that the game was played in the olden days....
Simple but satisfying
It was in this position that Anish reviewed the french defense
Whastha joke
@Donald Trump black's queen takes the knight
Donald Trump lmaooooo
There's no continuation after taking on f7. The knight is defended by the queen. The king just moves and you've blundered a piece for a pawn...

This comment is specious
I'm glad to see this comment since what agad said was incoherent and maybe confusing for some
your explanation of rook lifts at 4:05 was very helpful. thank you
"Morphy.. he didn't consider Lowenthal or anyone as his equal"
Lol, makes sense why he is called the "Pride" of Chess😂
Now I get it
Pride and sorrow
Im like Morphy except I'm losing badly.
