Whatever the outcome for you yourself, every game is a winning game for your audience, as there's always so much revealed and explained, and exemplified in such a clear and concise way.

[@jessebrown8519]

18:13 - you gave away your knight - my heart stopped I do that so often - lucky his clock was low and he didn't see it!

[@avonacolyte]

Gave away a king-rook fork which opponent missed as well!

[@Daxdax006]

Same. But the engine didn't say it was a blunder!

[@santieAK]

18:30 free rook to take after knight fork, glad you showing us lose games as well! Good content, keep it up!

[@zlnsane3779]

Not free, white knight takes with check

[@ndmb6333]

what free rook ?? i didn't see it ?

[@santieAK]

18:30 white to move, Ne1 will fork black king and rook which is not defended, thats free rook to take@@ndmb6333

[@jamesmathews4726]

@@ndmb6333 instead of rook a7, opponent could have played knight e8, forking king and rook, then take the free rook when king moves

[@gelatinousjoe7979]

It is kind of confidence boosting to see Agad playing the openings so badly even though he’s a stronger player

[@retrocity4270]

Thanks agadmator, it’s a pleasure to watch your games keep it up!

[@noobwithaplan]

Always glad to see more of these vids. You may be the god of recaps, but its still fun to watch you work through your own games.

[@ihcfn]

These videos are so instructive.

[@Jonathan-b4x]

I enjoyed this defense very much, it's not about the win or lose, I feel like your play is good enough to have overcome the opening disadvantage..AS you demonstrated for 40 moves!

[@voiceofreason9238]

You needed to sacrifice pawn for activity. You know who taught me that? YOU! 🤣

[@TheBrawlBox]

Could equally be titled 'How To Create A Terrible Position' but you sure did defend tenaciously.

[@PP1969GR]

...and how to suicide at the end

[@ianfranks541]

Great game Agad! Keep up the great work.

[@jaranth]

The tactical net this guy set up was so smothering!

[@naturalmystic67]

Of the hundreds and hundreds of chess games that I’ve watched, I’m struggling to recall a more horrible position out of the opening…

[@UserR2D2-je6nb]

You should do a different opening and quit imprisoning your light square bishop

[@oliviusandu]

You’re just the best ❤ Two videos in one day is the best kinda news. Thanks for all your great content Agad

[@achillesyoutube8773]

I think it is a good general principle to castle if you can in the opening/middle game and avoid castling if you can in the endgame.

[@cdm9011]

Pawn D5. That was the move! You were so worried about the D6 square though.

[@veezhang6988]

Never push e6 if you goes for the dragon, that's sorta in dragon players' blood

[@johnsmith56920]

@8.51 and before. Have you considered a5 a4 and since c5 is met with ... Knd5?

[@davidwagner6116]

"We're being very annoying." 😂

[@masoudpoursina8701]

and in 18.30 he could take your rook with knight by chek in e8

[@spindoctor6385]

Why is ten minutes an eternity to watch and goes by so fast when I play? How the hell do people play 1minute games?

[@Trelmayas21]

Great game. I really thought you were going to be able to hold things down and flag your opponent.

[@BuggatiWeryon]

19:06 I think best was to sacc the rook for the knight and then kick away the king with your own knight. It is objectively losing but in 20 seconds i believe you would have held it

[@rickdesper]

Yes, he had the clock advantage and could have tried to go for the "dirty" flag to win with an otherwise far worse position.

[@itsjustadot4438]

1:57 am ,and Agad is my morning routine

[@liamwalsh4008]

Fun to watch you blockade that position against an overwhelming assault. Nice defensive play after being forced to the back three ranks. Is that Antonio I see there, or Leonidas? 😮

[@jayakumarrs6725]

Black played in the most defensive way possible. There were some possible breakthroughs available into white's area but not utilised?

[@kejserrige]

at 3:42 why was Queen b5 a good move?

[@abjdalgnd]

I recommend you to try the accelerated dragon instead. Same opening but you avoid the Qxd4 line.

[@clevereduardosilva2346]

I m learning much more from these videos than watching GMs

[@saeshan9980]

Trench warfare over a checkerboard... 😢

[@iamdushyanta]

why don't you consider pawn moves? wondering..

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

great to see you playing

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

great to see you again

[@angelstrass8520]

Agad’s black knight has 4 lives apparently. Standing boldly proud shoulder to shoulder with the opponent’s rook twice (around 16:55 when Agad says “I got nothing and I am just asking him to find a move and hopefully overcommit” and around17:40 - in both cases the white rook should capture the knight and if Agad captures the white rook then the white knight forks the black king and the other rook). But wait, there’s more - around 18:13 this fearless knight checks the white king in passing - this should have been the final stunt because the white rook should have captured this foolish knight but no, the opponent just chased the knight away with his king, go figure. Then it’s time (18:30 ) for the black rook to show how to blunder the game by chasing the white knight - again, white knight should fork black king and rook but Agad’s opponent did no such thing. It is rare to see so many blunders by a seasoned player (Agad) go unpunished. In fact unconfirmed sources report that the chess police examines the video footage for crimes against the sport. 😀😀😀

[@kaktuscar3795]

U redu je... Nismo znali da si Magnus

[@mar5567]

I think instead of 26 Bf3 for him, I would have go for a rook lift with Rh3 then to f3, puting pressure on f7... But tough one, you were smothered by your own pawns and that bad bishop (I play a lot of French and Dutch defense, so I know it can be difficult)...

[@Boehoehuahoei]

Xmas lichess 1+1 tourney this December? Last year was fun

[@jessesandburg]

I feel like all mid game you had d5 to try to explode the center. Im a shit elo tho so idk

[@wonkeeeeee]

18:08 wasn’t that a full blunder of the knight?

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

tnx for content 🎉

[@bobbyfishstix1189]

Good game. You fought until the bitter end.

[@hannibalsw]

Thanks for the video.

[@merdishakki]

I never play dragon without playing d6 first and the opening shows really well why. Black was kind of forced to play e6 and abandon the idea of fianchettoing the bishop.

[@ABwaslive]

Still wake up for your video. Love from India ❤

[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

You deserve to.lose dili dali 50 moves😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@douglasfoley2060]

After taking the pawn with the rook giving check, should’ve played king takes pawn then you would’ve dodged checkmate and could’ve flagged him.

[@markusvirtanen1918]

I love to watch you play

[@jamesjanney4440]

You could have checked him with the knight on g2 and possibly kept it going.

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

agadmator love you

[@jonathancauley5345]

Seeing you not play Kc4 was shocking, because it seems like you would be able to trade off one of the knights. However, when analyzing, it seemed like the better move was to play d6 (like you discussed), but it’s hard finding all the right moves under 10 mins. Especially, if your player is blitzing every move.

[@richardmercer2337]

The question isn't "How", it's "Why?"

[@abhishekjain3148]

18:10 that check with the knight was a blunder... He didn't see it either

[@RhaegarT24]

2:13 huge bone in my throat? Huh? Is that a saying? Lmao 😂

[@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

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Good effort Antonio took a minute to get your pieces extracted from the bind they were in he just wasted time at that point his Rooks not even in game yet he found that weak spot with his knight and Rooks right at the end I thought you would win by him running out of time ⌛️ I know you know a lot more about chess than I ever will but maybe you stick to much to opening lines and should try being more offensive minded like Magnus does when he plays h4 😅that’s pushing it Thanks for the game I’m sure you’ll shine for us yet as you have in past

[@wesleymcbob]

Big ups to you

[@billyjames9861]

The B5 pawn push was a disaster and the Rook to D8 before this - And after going back on the original plan to get the night to E8 which would have been good.

[@Biskawow]

Why not trade knight?!

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Ok, so this game I don't get. Both players don't see the knight blunders during the 18th minute? One is a free knight, and the other is a free rook. I get the time trouble issue, but strange that they both did it and both failed to capitalize.

[@agadmator]

The so called double-blindness.

[@thomasintes7309]

Remarkable ability as a player and commentator.

[@johncollorafi257]

Hello everyone. I hated e6 because it weakened your dark squares and interfered with development of the qb

[@grawl69]

Dear Agadmator, please slow down the analysis after the game. There are plenty of decisive moves or blunders towards the end, but you just fly through them. While it's like the most interesting part to me.

[@shashishekhar----]

All love.....a learning position though.

[@ashutoshpattnaik5446]

Learned something today against that move

[@iraklitos20022003]

You blundered your knight and then your rook! Never mind try to relax and try again! 😊

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

more rapid pls

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

tnx for being here

[@catac83]

You played really well! I learned a lot, I’m just 1350 on Lichess. I recommand you start with the openings you know well. For me when I try to play a new opening I always lose

[@beepboop204]

[@rickyale1618]

I think you needed a sacrifice earlier

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

nice game

[@insanestuff9470]

I have flagged him easily when he down to less than 50 seconds🤟

[@vivekmohan7785]

Very bad at pawn push & Knight positioning 🤔 Agadmator has to consider time too. We need a better game 👍

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

love you so much

[@topgunbass]

If you delayed you would have won trading down leaving him no time finish.

[@anuragaggarwal9896]

18:53 you should have traded rooks and then traded knight by giving a check on next move but you allowed all of that counterplay and firstly you blundered your knight in one move , clearly shows that you are a terrible player and also an overrated one you should be 1200 elo based on your skillset

[@d.r.tweedstweeddale9038]

Love your tournament & historic game content but watching you play twice now is painful.

[@rickdesper]

Painful to watch. I don't see why you were so reluctant to play NC4 to root out his monster knight on e3. Instead you built your own prison. :(

[@Amer1kop]

Maybe bc he was worried about entertaining you

[@williamhartzelljr.9080]

EXACTLY! I've taken notice he doesn't like to trade pieces just for the sake of removing a threat. I remember him saying one time it's better to checkmate an opponent with as many pieces on the board as possible. I play a better endgame so I like to trade everything.

[@mrwhompass1986]

gg

[@PP1969GR]

Agad, this game was yours. You should change rooks and promote that free pawn. But you let him mate you instead, with 2 rooks.....

[@daviddurbin7682]

There is a way to stop mate. No there isn't lol

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

[@itzMoJo67]

is this account shadow banned or something ? i literally need to search for agadmator to see his uploads :(

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...

Any Naroditsky viewers knew the position would be tough to defend after agad played e6 and g6. He talks all the time about how you should never do that :)

[@vicjes]

Agadmator comenta muy bien las partidas de los GM pero tiene un nivel muy bajo como jugador. Mi consejo es que deje de subir sus propias partidas que no tienen ningún significado ajedrecística mente y mas bien son un ejemplo de cómo no se debe jugar el ajedrez
