I Tried To Emulate Tal!

[@mathdeep]

I always emulate Tal by giving away material and my opponents always show their appreciation by winning the match.

[@paulmaul2186]

We should have a blunder off some day.

[@ServeyourEmperor]

Same here! My opponents always think highly when I pull off the Blunder Gambit.

[@acoustic_AB]

Sounds more like Barnes

[@AceChampJames]

I've admired Tal since I was young boy. He has always truly been an inspiration to me. I've been playing now for 26 years and still manage to blunder my king instead of forced mate sequences.

[@sanju051974]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@noobwithaplan]

I try to emulate Tal by sacrificing material in questionable gambits. I generally just end up giving away pieces but man does it feel cool

[@christopherdunn3094]

And when my questionable gambit inevitably backfires, I always refuse to resign until 1 sec before time runs out.

[@Derkalerk]

Very classy😂

[@RAT_Z1]

I love that he read the comments from the last video and actually fixed the clock. What a guy

[@lindsaygaga4587]

Antonio never fail to feature in Agadmator's videos, love it!!

[@unnatural_blues]

The best video so far and great flow of highlighting important moments. You definitely mastering on comments while playing P.S. Wrote this like 5 minutes before deadly blow, this combo with a beautiful knight control is a cherry on a top. Keep it up man

[@thatsfantastic313]

i enjoy very much when agadmator plays and analysis games.

[@gelatinousjoe7979]

Nice game, pretty clean attack. Gotta remember that b4 trick though, always a good move b4

[@StoneAgeDudemanGaming]

Watching you must have made me better at chess over these past few years, as soon as Rg1 landed i started getting excited for the pawn push kingside. I love an aggressive advance on weird boardstates.

[@gregl211]

Antonio channels his inner Mikhail Tal and crushes his opponent. Masterful!

[@avonacolyte]

Just adding to the general approbation of these videos of you playing Rapid. They are very entertaining and instructive.

[@chriswright3179]

Playing to emulate Tal takes a lot less time than trying to calculate a move like h6. Good lesson for rapidplay. Thank you, nice game.

[@tnntaronewsnetwork4514]

Hey Agad you should make a video based off of Retro Recipes “Could an 80s computer beat a modern Mac”. Basically 4 games of chess between an old Amiga Commodore Computer and a modern Mac Book, with varying Elo levels. Would love to see your commentary on that

[@parsashahrokni4750]

I'm enjoying these vids unbelievably , don't ever stop making those

[@GeraldM_inNC]

Classic illustration of one side being so concerned with its attack that it leaves the king undefended even though anyone can see the wall of pawns defending the king will soon collapse. The queen and both rooks were totally out of position to do anything about the assault on their king. I have learned that at least one of the three (preferably the queen) should remain behind in position to stop an all out assault.

[@abhisekchoudhury4561]

I remember once I blundered my queen, and then noticed that there is a checkmate in 2. Turns out, my blunder was actually a brilliancy and taking my queen was a blunder for my opponent. 😂

[@nicbentulan]

2nd : 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

[@brianbanks703]

Thanks for times fixing for our added enjoyment. and for bar.Others mentioned this before cheers :)

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Hiding behind the h pawn is bad??? Yea, that and allowing white's knight to rest in the center of the board controlling every useful defensive square black needed. And giving your rook an open file, along with allowing your bishop and queen to connect with tactics on his king. At that point I think the king cowering behind white's pawn was the BEST part of black's position...considering every aspect was worse than the next!

[@chriswright3179]

I'll have to look at your setup. You were many moves ahead on the king side while he never got started on the queen side (though you point out he missed a resource). Well played Mr Tal.

[@keronigzit5121]

I really like this series please keep this up :)

[@wonkeeeeee]

Good quality fixes to the videos with the addition of the clock and the evaluation bar.

[@saif_md]

10:56 Nxf6 followed with qd5 check will win the rook?

[@EricJohnson-ls1rh]

At 1:45: he wants to play pawn to b4 ... that's fine ... Fine?! It's the best move in all positions!

[@kroolini3678]

Wouldn’t rook C7 have as a exchange sacrifice have worked? He gives back material then makes room for E7 to both cover the square and attack the knight that took the first rook

[@O_Lee69]

15:40 how can agadmator miss b4? He always tells us it is the strongest move.

[@hoomanov]

#suggestion remove the bar above your camera or minimize it so we can see your clock management too. We can already tell its rapid by the start of the game and ratings are also visible where the timer is

[@JosephPatrickLonsdale-to7ql]

Why doesn't Black rook on C4 take pawn on H4. 6:56?

[@jonathancauley5345]

Nicely played Agad! :)

[@MAGHREBY]

# Suggestion: please play b3 with white or Caro-Kann with black. Thanks 👍👍👍

[@vivekmohan7785]

He missed pawn to b4 & that Knight move! I know it will happen to everyone's preference.

[@Vickey51193]

After watching this I was so exited that I played 2 rapid matchs just to sacrifice and win...I did scrifice meterial but did not win😂.. Opponent kept asking for a rematch cause of free pieces I gave him lol.

[@nicbentulan]

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...

@8:20 - Nf4 is worthy of consideration.

[@imcmt217]

Resigning feels like being chased after a street fight.😂😂

[@mahlatsesekwati6275]

9:07 Ne7+;Bxe7 or Qxe7 therefore Qd5+ you win the Rook

[@mattbrenner8534]

Love the videos. Your last 2 videos that you played don’t show your clock. They only show opponents time

[@timjones147]

I try to emulate agadmator when I play. Seriously

[@EminenceRed]

Wasn’t f4 much better than f3 or kb1 (which you played)?

[@AKnipp412]

Why didn’t black take on h4 with the rook after Nd5?

[@marianosetula4705]

some catalan or french would be nice. thank you for your service, sir.

[@ronjohnson9690]

These games on lichess are very instructive, probably due to the open-source commentary in action. We don't get to hear chess players think very often.

[@tonebanderas]

agadmator is a beast 😮

[@Lolersters]

8:23 Doesn't Nd7+, Qd5+, Qxc5 work? Seems like something Tal would play.

[@oraz.]

Yeah it seems possible at 11:00 too. I guess what he had was better.

[@Lolersters]

@@oraz. No because the knight defends the rook.

[@petarfenerdjiev7042]

Hey my friend from Croatia,im from Bulgaria my question is where is the dog?Medo was his name if i remember well. Wish you health man!!!!

[@paulmaul2186]

How do you guys train yourselves not to make dumb mistakes? I generally do well and then at some point doing something epically stupid that ruins everything.

[@stuvius]

I have have started telling myself to "not be fancy" and it actually helps a lot lol. Instead of calculating some weird sacrifice in a strange position I try to make a more solid move

[@Ayzev]

Don't relax however good a position may seem, always suspect your opponent is planning something, because if they haven't resigned they probably are

I can see a fork threat by your opponent I don’t know if you are aware of that threat Nf3 right you did see it your Queen needs to join that attack your pawn on f2 in way worked out great nice forced making him sac the Queen it was a wrap after that didn’t see your knight coming to rescue Great Game thanks was fun watching you were the one on attack he just on defensive your moves worked well
