And This Isn't Even Hikaru's Immortal!

[@leaderfirestar1]

Happy to hear Medo is doing well!

[@1660varun]

Medo : They love me ❤😂

[@Axiomatic75]

#suggestion Medo deserves a video dedicated to him. I want to see photos of him as a puppy and footage of Agad playing with him (not necessarily chess)

[@bless8163]

Exactly what I wanted to comment

[@jeffjones6951]

Thanks for the update on Medo! Rex Magnus & I were concerned

[@NabooHashmi]

Best news and I didn't even know medo isn't doing well

[@ClarkPotter]

Respect to Wesley for not resigning and allowing the game to play out for viewers' aesthetic enjoyment and posterity. True sportsman and values his gift to chess and others over ego.

[@thematureneuro468]

I was just about to point it out. Well said.

[@brukujinbrokujin7802]

Wesley is like older generation gentleman that actually let beautiful game or checkmate happen. Back then, Chess was not about winning, its about 2 person making art together.

[@MrSanTang]

That is absolutely true and it is the main reason why I prefer classical games becaus players had plenty of time to create beauty even if they were loosing.

[@IWannatalkpodcast]

Don't be ridiculous. Chess is and always has been about winning

4:57 Omg Antonios delivery never fails to crack me up 😂

[@gizmophoto3577]

It seems Medo is at a similar point as our dog. Ours is slowing down a bit and doesn’t care too much for stairs anymore, but she’s still a sweetheart. We give them every good day we can.

[@MrSupernova111]

Its nice to have hostages in the house.

[@BigChunk4530]

Mad respect to allow the checkmate and not just resign....it is wonderful when your opponent sees but lets it happen on the board!!!

[@kamitebyani5309]

I love it when the G pawn becomes a pawn 😁 8:04

[@rodrigopavez6322]

2:00 THANKS! Give Medo a hug for me. We miss him

[@rumaulia2709]

Unleashing the bish is a brilliant move indeed

[@talhaozsoy6772]

It is amazing to me how this was the game i was studying this morning and now theres an agadmator video about it the same day. Wow.

[@decreasing_entropy3003]

Telepathy!

[@NicolaiBolas]

"You unleash the bish. I don't know if anyone ever said that. Who knows?" This whole line of thought is a brilliancy. Random moments like these are part of what make Agadmator so fun to watch!

[@0wenfox]

I totally 100% agree with all your words and subtleties brother. Hugs and love ❤🎉Appreciate you!

[@KancerKowboy]

Thank you for the Medo update, I was thinking the worst. Yeah when they get old they have back issues as well.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Hikaru working wonders in this game I don’t doubt he’s the King of the kings Indian defense this was definitely one of his A games Wesley’s offense seemed non existent Thanks for the Game Have a Great Rest of your Day as well

[@mognuscarlson5393]

king of the King's Indian was Bobby Fischer. Hikaru is his proud follower.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@mognuscarlson5393 you probably know a lot more about the history of GMs than myself Mognus I’ve just been following last couple years I pretty much was echoing Agadmator’s reference

[@rajsharma2023]

It's disgusting, how beautiful it is👌👌:agad

[@derekbaker4763]

I absolutely love when I find the move without oausing the video! I don't know why I enjoy doing this so much. But it's truly 1 of my favorite things to do each day! Thank you, agadmator!

[@MrSanTang]

I love your channel. I used to watch you in 2019 but stopped. I came back a couple of weeks ago and I realized how I missed you and your dog 😊. Now, this game led me to the Hikaru' s Immortal then to the Krasenkow vs Nakamura one in 2007. Since I like Hikaru's play it will be a pleasure (but a long road) to watch your playlist on him.

[@marcus8player]

This really was a beautiful game! Well done Hikaru

[@joshpinchuk7061]

So glad to hear Medow is doing well!

[@DavidBrown-vd6qr]

I got up from my chair at work for that queen sac line, beautiful. Thanks as always Agad!

[@OvidiuHretcanu]

12:24 best engine move if either the wining one or, in case the game is already lost, the one last prolongs the game the most

[@saraogi-keshav]

“It’s disgusting how beautiful this win is” 🔥🔥🔥

[@mugbhary]

Such a spirited player GM wesley is . He must ve seen the checkmate long ago yet he had the humility to allow the masterpiece being played out till the very end at the expense of him getting checkmated . Bravo wesley n as usual brilliant Hikaru

[@jasonpierresweeney]

Very nice, the Gelfand game had one of my first donations showcased!

[@joshuasimon6123]

Its a privilage to be a part of this family for 5yrs and counting.I first saw Hikaru's immortal game on this channel. Agad you ignite my interest in chess and today I can't get it off my daily schedule. I've learned a lot thanks Bro😍

[@machineFa8]

Must bring back Medho back in the videos, some great engine lines

[@NabooHashmi]

Air surfing game, couch variation: main line

[@MrSupernova111]

Agad said the dog is old and doesn't like going up the stairs. Why would you want to punish the dog? Talk about selfish!

[@yourn4m3h3re]

14:02 got up from my chair and praised the splendid pattern!

Happy to hear that medo is alive and doing well 😀

[@stephenmcg4299]

Thanks for the update on Medo. 👍

[@janosheks]

''Unleash the bish'' That gave me a laugh

[@zebra3stripes]

When I got up from my chair, all the passengers on my bus knew that I had just seen h3 in Agadmator's latest video.

[@Hubythereal]

glad to hear that Medo is doing fine

[@divyanshkumar2289]

Thank you for showing my suggested game. When you see the moves at first, it would seem like Rashid Nezhmetdinov or Mikhail Tal is playing with the black pieces. It is kinda crazy to think it was played in the Engines' Age where You have to play like a computer to beat your opponent at the top level.

[@parveszaman6341]

Appreciate Wasley for not resigning and letting Nakamura to have that briliant check mate

[@MegaGandalf12]

9:25 what happens if the white bishop captures the rook on f1 here? Queen can't capture back now and opens up the white Queen's defensive line right?

[@harrickvharrick3957]

Precisely, it seems that was overlooked.

[@Trip_Fontaine]

At 14:54, 9 black pieces (counting pawns) are within a radius of 3 from the white king, and only 2 white pieces are within that range. Totally nuts. I don't think I've ever seen a situation where the king is so utterly surrounded with so little help.

[@prominence676]

I rarely like videos even though I'm a chess fan for over a decade...but this video is goin in my playlist coz it reminds me of vishy Anand's immortal against levon where he also threw knight in enemy territory...im gonna have a great time showing this to my friends in bar or library.

One of the greatest game I will ever see 🤔

[@paysonfox88]

14:00 -- GothamChess called that "the white king's walk of shame" That was some brutal shitt from Hikaru.

[@Raghavanm]

14:13 why not take the rook with the bishop?

[@kurtzipagan6704]

In the same sinquefield cup 2015, Aronian also unleashed a great attack on Wesley introducing the hidden black sniper hiding in a7 to finish the game.

[@Puschit1]

But he didn't unleash the bish, so there's that

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

[@amoldivo]

I saw Rxf3, and even Rxd3 (separately), and some maneuvers, I didn't see the immediate checkmate (didn't calculate because I think there are many lines that'd end up with checkmate anyway lol), neither the line with the horsey mate that Hikaru played (with h3), well simply horsey moves are too unpredictable and I don't want to calculate the line with gazillion knight moves lol

[@krisss42]

Hikaru used to play kings indian defense a lot. But I wonder why he rarely play it today, even other top GMs seem to avoid it. Anyobody has an idea why?

After black moved his King out of the corner the threat of checkmate by black's queen retaking no longer is present; I wonder why the black rook at f1 can't be taken by white's e2 bishop? < (situation 9:25) Seems to me that possibility has been overlooked

[@barun9665]
