Glitch in The Matrix

[@Fred_1898]

This is quickly becoming one of my favourite series. Really nice to see you work your way towards 2300. Love to see it!

[@TheHeavyassaulter]

Yeah he shouldn't make a new channel, I want it all here 🎉

[@jestice75]

The Agadmator Saga.

[@garrusvakarian3944]

Definetely the best series you ever made. Much better than the professionals which hardly anybody can understand. Your chess is much more relatable. Btw, I will be visiting Croatia next year, already booked a villa in Plitvice Jezera :)

[@ryanladere8673]

The thumbnail is awesome 😁

[@Khigha87]

Chess and the Matrix are in my top 5 favourite things ever! 😎😁. This was for me. I'm happy to share it with the rest if you, but it's definitely mine 😅

[@DarkKnightIndia]

I saw you beat a WIM today a couple of times in blitz. Congratulations on that Agad.

[@agadmator]

Yeah but that was 3+0 blitz, not sure I would do it in rapid 😅

[@DarkKnightIndia]

@@agadmator you can do it Agad, let the time come

[@Ennar]

Not as nearly as good as Antonio, but I have to say that I saw Nc5 immediately because it is forcing compared to the alternative and solves the problem of discovered attack on the queen. I'm happy engine agreed with me :)

[@germanstjohn7629]

I am a big fan of your channel,😅 hvala ti na svemu što si učinio za mene, ne bih stigao ovako daleko s tvojom palicom i kaučem. I O U

[@michaeldahill807]

I actuaIIy prefer these games to the tournament games because its Iearning theory as you pIay and its enjoyabIe watching you trying to get to 2300 , we're aII rooting for you !!

[@catac83]

Great played! I think you won because the opponent started with a defensive setup up and didn't care about the center so you grabbed the center right away and put pressure on him.. when he countered to control the center it was just too late. He was always under pressure and that led him to make mistakes

[@estrado34]

Keep up the great work.. Seasons greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Agadmator wins Titled Tuesday! And by "Titled Tuesday", I mean, of course, that it's Tuesday and Agadmator wins the title of Best Chess KZbinr.

[@gsnksojwnw]

Knights can be tricky Basterds, but also as you keep your king and rook on a different coloured squared you should be fine

[@lesterchua2677]

3:56 Nc5 looks winning.

[@insanestuff9470]

Rockstar agad😂❤

[@jonathancauley5345]

In every one of your games, you play the main line up to move 14 which is quite impressive Agadmator :)

[@markh-thai]

I actually like these videos 😊

[@peeyushkelkar]

Off topic request, could you tell us what’s behind you in the frame?

[@BuggatiWeryon]

Toys, youtube button, sofa.. nothing special the same things you have in your house :D maybe except for yt button

[@dilejjja]

Antonio, you had Nc5 as soon as he played f6. Then you capture e6 pawn followed by Qxd5.

[@manishchoudhary2014]

at 3:48, that knight should have landed at c5, not g5

[@boaconstrictor3754]

10:36 Could black play gxh4 here?

[@kenw2225]

Yes

[@kenw2225]

But still losing. Rook is still hanging at the end

[@freydrik]

After Bg6 Qe7 also showed by the computer analysis

[@grawl69]

Why not Nc5 at 3:33?? My first thought

[@grawl69]

Then I watched it to the end...

[@suntaran]

explosive tactics with knight on c5

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Good Game they always say when playing try to figure what your opponent is trying to do he didn’t have much offense going mostly obvious moves you could avoid you create some great offensive threats at times I think it’s one of your strengths Thanks for the Game Enjoy your Day

[@marthadunkley6758]

Was shouting N-c5! at the screen LOL

[@rmh9419]

Why not nc5 instead of ng5

[@bloom3561]

Love the thumbnails

[@texarcana2450]

Should've put the bishop on e4 and pinned knight to king and then trade and consolidate advantages

[@GT_177]

Is it me or has the overlay been a bit lo res for the last few videos? Don't like to just complain so you should know that I am loving this content!

[@agadmator]

Haven't changed anything in months

[@GT_177]

It's obviously just me then. Maybe it's because I have actually been doing a bit of playing aswell as just watching and my brain got used to the app's board.

[@SuperSaniyat]

Could the Queen have gone to h4 and tried for checkmate?

[@spindoctor6385]

The definition of a "blunder" has changed in the last 10-15 years. So it is a curious statement that you think your tactical awareness is not as good as it was back then. So many times years ago so called blunders were made but there was no engine to analyse the next 3,4 or 10 moves so you would not even know. It is not a blunder if your oponent needs to play the next 8 moves with engine precision if they don't do that. The way I see it, a blunder is only a blunder if your oponent sees it and capitalizes on it. People often confuse "stockfish says" with actual knowledge that they possess.

[@kennethwoods6525]

Unseen blunders are inaccuracies. 👍

[@Joseph1NJ]

12:18 B to A3

[@Dhybridp]

Plus points for the thumbnail!

[@davidmitchell3881]

To infinity (or at least 2800) and beyond!

[@alkostach]

Hallo Antonio, just wanted to say u r my fav chess player apart from Capa and Bobby, which makes you my no. 3. You're not as handsome as Capa but mote handsome than Bobby, which makes you my no. 2 when it comes to handsome chess players

[@brionhausgeld2415]

Can Agent Smith beat Stockfish?

[@kennethwoods6525]

No. They are buddies. Don't trust the Matrix.

[@topgunbass]

Not so much a glitch, rather a shift in the space time continum 😂

[@MaxyDandyYT]

16:50 is the reason i believe that -nowadays- players are more "I-know-the-position's-name-and-all-of-its-variants" players than genious players. I feel like the essence of chess is getting lost to computers telling us what the best moves are instead of us finding them 😭

[@rohant4559]

#suggestion magnus vs firouza 2nd match rook and bishop endgame in yesterday match.. Pls cover it

[@danielwhite2178]

Thanks

[@daviddurbin7682]

Pretty sure most of us saw the knight attack on queen and pawn

[@Amazing_wildlife7721]

I was virtually screaming Nc5 the whole time but you never played it😅

[@agadmator]

Louder!

[@beepboop204]

[@dipakbhatt16]

Good game !!!

[@mohankumar-ws9qc]

Plz Make ur board color soothing to eyes of viewers who view ur channel at night

[@Shubham-ys6hp]

Either agad plays stockfish level chess or his opponent play shit chess blundering in whole game or losing right from opening, don't know😢😢

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Neither really Agad just outplayed his opponent in this game and his last his opponent never mustered any real offensive threats he more or less was reacting to what Agad was doing

[@kenw2225]

Liar. Agad played like stockfisg

[@SuperSaniyat]

This was a good game...!

[@LJW1912]

You have a single source to back that up?

[@ngogiakhiem6806]

nice

[@ronjohnson9690]

I see no advantage from the other side. He played a good game but slipped more often, and finally fell.

[@robelengida6211]

Nice

[@nicbentulan]

2nd: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'. Speaking of Wesley So Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend! 2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1...

maybe not...

[@stevewoodw]

I think you should do two channels - one for your own games and 'World of Agadmator's other activities, and one for Grand Master and emerging chess talent (Agadmator: The Masters) or some other similar names. I quite liked seeing many of your games in the past but I think you'd probably build a better channel if you divided it up - you could end up with a good following for both- but hey, what do I know? You've got 1.3 million subscribers......

[@nicbentulan]

2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc Magnus, Hikaru & FIDE cheated Wesley So in the 2022 WFRCC. Source: p1w4Rr-1fL Why isn't it unfair to Wesley So that FIDE lowered the WFRCC time controls from 60min in 2019 to 32.5min in 2022 ( w/o changing the name of course to 'rapid WFRCC'. if they change the name, then there's no problem ) considering the ff things? (Note: 45+15=60, and 25+5+2.5=32.5) Thing1 In the 2019 WFRCC, Hikaru & Magnus did better in 17min games than 60min games. Wesley So did better in vice-versa. Thing2 Afaik - (0min,10min) = blitz - [10min,60min) = rapid - [60min,120min) = classical but unrated for 2200+ players. - [120min,infinity) = classical Hence, Wesley So should be the CLASSICAL WFRCC and then Hikaru is the rapid WFRCC. Wesley So beat Magnus 3x CLASSICAL (60MIN) games in a row HUMAN VS HUMAN, no computer prep! Thing3 Yet for some reason FIDE insists that both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid' while 17min is 'fast rapid'. They didn't even define these terms. Check out the maths here: I see only 2 reasonable definitions for slow & fast rapid. -Def1 - Slow rapid means unrated classical [60,120) & fast rapid is rapid [10,60). This means: - There's no classical WFRCC. - Wesley So is slow rapid WFRCC. - Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC. - Hence, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So. -Def2 - Fast rapid & slow rapid cut up rapid [10,60) into resp [10,35) and [35,60). 2 issues here: - 60min is not in either of these intervals. - Also, 32.5 is in [10,35). So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol. This means: - There's no slow rapid WFRCC. - Wesley So is classical WFRCC. - Hikaru is rapid WFRCC, specifically fast rapid WFRCC. - Hence, again, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So. - Def3 - The definitions must be: Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, we must have - [10,X) fast rapid & - [X,120) slow rapid, for some 17 < X < 32.5. Like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!! Thing4 Conclusion: I believe the WFRCC was a conspiracy to get Hikaru / Magnus to win in parallel w/ the Hans Niemann situation. Think about this: - Magnus quits the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. 1 day later, Hans Niemann, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 CGC in that Hans is removed! - Magnus quits the 2023 WCC. 1 month later, Wesley So, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 WFRCC in that the time controls are reduced! I hardly believe this is a coincidence. I bet Magnus even directed (or conspired w/) FIDE to remove (and hence cheat) Sergey (not American but Jewish like Hans & Bobby) from the 2022 candidates. Sergey's replacement Liren even cited as role models: Magnus, Garry & Veselin instead of Wesley, Bobby & Vlad ( as described in FlNsFKeq-iE ). Of course there's no conspiracy at all if FIDE just says 'Ok Wesley So is classical WFRCC & Hikaru is rapid WFRCC. Sorry for the confusion!' For chess: The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life. For 9LX: The ability to play 9LX is the sign of a gentleman or a lady. The ability to play 9LX well is the sign that you're not Magnus Carlsen. LOL!!!! P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S. Interview while imprisoned p1w4Rr-1Uk Pablo Mercado: So what is your advice to the Filipino chess players? Uncle Bobby Fischer: My advice is to give up chess and take up Fischer Random. - 2004Oct11, 15 years before nephew Wesley So became the inaugural WFRCC in CLASSICAL time controls.

[@williamhartzelljr.9080]

I understand you're trying to help people learn chess but you wasted 17 seconds developing your black bishop. How about move the bishop then explain your thoughts

[@rws531]

Making an informative video is far more important than his rating. If he loses from burning too much time, it doesn’t matter if viewers gain more from it.

[@LukoSoft]

Another dislike for ignoring Nc5
