I think it can be useful to play 10+1. I like the games and commentary a lot and the increment will allow you to finish games if you lost time explaining

[@federerfan3]

The turkey in the oven migh not survive that attack

[@Calibrownsfan]

He shouldn't have neeeded increment here. Simple win at 18:54 Rb4 cuts of white king and sets up staircase mate Qa3,Rb2,Qa1#. White could throw in Rh5+ in response to Rb4, but then Ka4 ends it. He can only drag it out one move longer throwing his rook away with Ra5+ after which black can premove the staircase mate pattern

[@freydrik]

These videos when you play live really are helping me a lot. I hope you will continue because they are great. Thank you

@Agad -- That opening against the Sicillian is called the Smith-Morra Gambit. It's incredibly fun to play and is difficult to refute if well-prepped -- there's a whole book devoted to it called "Mayhem in the Morra".

Hello Agad! I thoroughly enjoy this type of content; it's incredibly helpful for us average players in understanding and analyzing different positions. Your insights make the learning process enjoyable. However, I have a suggestion. It would be great to witness more of your victories. It adds an exciting dynamic to the experience, almost like we're playing alongside you. Occasionally, when the clock is ticking down, it feels a bit disheartening, especially when the last few seconds are played somewhat casually. While we learn a lot from your content regardless of the outcome, the thrill of seeing you win would be an excellent addition. This game I wanted you to win so badly and was bummed to see you not cross the line. Keep up the great work!

[@userac-xpg]

this was so sad. Q+R should be easy to checkmate in 14 secs and you already had it set up. at 18:53 the key move is R-b4. This cuts off whites king and sets up the staircase mating pattern with Qa3, Rb2, Qa1 following. White can throw a nuisance check or give away his rook, but then the mating pattern is unstoppable.

[@Satyamm3]

Make more of these videos... I like the way u explain ur thought process.. And the way u say hmm multiple times when u think😅😅

[@hygrant4928]

Agad, maybe get some headphones and connect to your mic so that it plays your own voice to you but also the game sounds? Yeti does this well from my experience.

Will do!

[@topgunbass]

Good game. With no time it's hard to finish. Maybe more checks with the queen to pick up the rook then finish with mate pattern. Enjoying the games. Keep them coming win or lose.

[@Calibrownsfan]

Not checks. Use the major pieces to cut off enemy king and set up simple staircase mate pattern. 18:54 correct move it Rb4 setting up Qa3,Rb2,Qa1#.

[@richardlindquist5936]

Wow! Back and forth. Great fun. Thanks

[@Procyon2020]

Qg3+ makes it easier but is easy to miss when low in time and trying to find the quick mate.

[@cbjrobertson]

At 9:24, Why not just RxD4 after Agad’s suggested …KxD4?, ie instead of R x D8 for white. What am I missing?

2800+ is definitely on the radar. Just keep it going!!

[@Calibrownsfan]

He gave you this game at the end with plenty of time but you seem to not know how to use the queen and rook correctly. 18:54 Rb4 (cutting off white king from half the board) then white has only one check Rh5 after which Ka4 and the Q and rook can staircase mate by Qa3, Rb2,Qa1. You could also just force a trade for either piece as a K+R vs lone king is a simple mate which be accomplished in a few seconds.

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Another Opponent finding engine moves throughout the game then blundering when he stops using engine, then switching back to engine for final end game

[@KosherCookery]

This is why I play 10+5.

[@RupertMDoc]

Use a quality headset so you can hear the sound without creating a feedback with the microphone.

[@darkman5564]

Last move just move the queen down. You had the mate

[@tonybernard4444]

Definitely use your sound to help your play. Forcing high rated players to checkmate in speed chess means you have to pound out the final moves instantly, which is more a function of repetition than skill. Once you get some games in, you'll be pre-moving most of that queen and rook ending to mate. Also, I think you missed mate at the end because you already talked yourself into the draw.

[@smhollanshead]

There is no regret like the regret in chess. That’s soooo true.

[@alucardoVin]

I am liking these series more, rather than seeing GMs playing with machine precision. His blunder of bringing the Queen into the game was weird either he has thrown the game or it was a pre-move, but there was no reason to pre-move he had plenty of time. I said he but it could have been she.

[@mattp9850]

"I was hoping he'd blunder a rook or something" - as he overlooks the fork checking the king and picking up the rook in the corner for an easy pre-move ladder mate!

Would have been fun to see what the mating pattern was with 5 seconds on the clock.

Well at 19:20 he could skewer the king and rook with Qd6 instead of Rb4, and win the rook. Or at the end he could play Rc8 or Qb8 instead of Re7. But in time trouble it's tough to find anything.

[@paulmaul2186]

I just want to learn how not to make mistakes! I can't shake that habit.

[@bertbergers9171]

in the last 10 seconds you missed two forks to take his rook of the board, but still, getting mate in that short of a time is difficult. Think this was fun to watch how missed things pivot the win chances both ways. Just sad that that opening cost you probably the time you missed in the endgame, you figured out how to develop fast enough, but it still cost you.

[@BakedChessExpert]
