[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

Beautiful game

[@michalangelodolinaj289]

That was nasty checkmate!!!

[@jacobjosiahsteele]

#suggestion I recently came across the game Averbakh/Spassky 1956, some say "the greatest move ever played" but the game is so complicated I couldnt follow it. This game definitely deserves the Agadmator treatment!

[@attiqurrehman1057]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaDFo315hbCbqJosi=LyDOGOdQefMp1NM0 I think this is the game you are talking about.

[@soumyajitroy5239]

These are the games we live for and anticipate in this channel. Antonio it would be great if you revive the What Sorcery is this series ? #Suggestion.

[@shamshum1able]

I love the sorcery videos wish he'd do make more of them

[@davidantonsavage6207]

Best Agadmator hoodie yet! And wow what a finish to the game. Deeply satisfying.

[@juliatruchsess1019]

Love the acoustic dampening provided by the big hoodie - very different and more intimate sound! Also a fantastic game :)

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Wow Super Great Tactics even back than the calculations were mind boggling by white once he started his attack on the Black king this game really has that feel of the Romantic era of chess Thanks for the Game Agadmator Enjoy your day

[@drbinglederry9785]

Title: BETTER THAN KASPAROV’S IMMORTAL GAME! 20 seconds into it: “It’s not as good.” Well you got me here I might as well stay for a while. 😂

[@rhwing5095]

Well, the title had a question mark at the end, not an exclamation one. Big difference!

[@saliljoshee1957]

That checkmate was wild

[@trench6920]

Great game, really enjoy the vids

[@abdulla_mathew]

I saw the checkmate but didn't realize that the bishop is pinned so it starts with bd5 check deflecting the queen and unpin the bishop.

[@guiladshmaya1]

exactly what happened with me..

[@schroederluck7984]

Without error there can be no brilliancy. Thank you to Mr Hoodie Guy for his inaccuracies that made White’s attack possible.

[@HeWishesForTheClothesOfHeaven]

With due respect, whoever thinks this game is better than Kasparov's Immortal probably thinks the greatest race ever run was when he won a sprint against his 3rd grade classmates. The checkmate is nice, and the sacrifices are notable, but white was objectively lost earlier in game. Considering the level of the opponent as well, I think a better name might be, "Malinin's Great Escape".

[@exbricadlo]

*hoodie guy 'is back* 👊🏼

[@germanopillon3674]

Yes we love crazy king hunts like this one!! So beautiful of a game.

[@MusicALLyes]

One of the nicest checkmates I've seen

[@nicbentulan]

2nd: What's it like in a parallel universe where 9LX is standard chess, and Garry really is Garry chess? 1 - People are praising Wesley So, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Bobby Fischer & Anatoly Karpov. Agadmator & Levy are talking about Wesley & Nepo all day long. 2 - Garry really is Garry chess here. Switch Bobby & Garry dates of birth. (Bobby's last name here is probably Nemenyi.) Meanwhile Garry Kasparov invented something strange called 'chess1' aka 'Kasparov Deterministic' where you have only 1 SP. Garry quits the 1975 classical WCC Vs Anatoly Karpov, is arrested in Russia (instead of Japan), immigrates to Iceland and dies in 2008. 1975 is not a big loss. In fact, it's better because Bobby Fischer takes over. 1978 is Bobby vs Anatoly match of the century in Baguio, the Philippines! Idk what happens in 1981, but then 1984 Eugene Torre wins the candidates and faces Anatoly/Bobby! In 1976, I guess Eugene still beats Anatoly. Either Anatoly or Bobby. (Trivia: In our world, Eugene almost beat Bobby in 1992.) 3 - Bobby is still alive in 2024. Bobby, Anatoly, Sergey Karjakin, Wesley, Nepo are on Lex Fridman's podcast while Magnus, Garry & Hikaru aren't. 4 - In the 2019 inaugural world Kasparov Deterministic chess championship (WKDCC), Magnus beats Wesley in 3 classical chess1 games in a row in but no one cares. Fabi is still the top 4 in the 2019 world chess1 championship but the top3 is now Liren. Nepo has never played a chess1 game, just as in our world Liren has never played a recorded 9LX game before 2024Feb. 5 - Wesley/Nepo doesn't quit the 2023 classical WCC. Nepo/Wesley wins 2022 candidates and no one cares about Liren. Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi is the biggest rivalry in chess, far exceeding as well as succeeding the next biggest rivalry Bobby Fischer vs Anatoly Karpov, like Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad. Wesley, & Nepo are both considered GOATs along with Bobby & Anatoly. There's no distinction between GOAT & MTOAT. There's a slight bias towards Wesley because Wesley is Bobby's nephew. 6 - Chess' popularity in the Philippines & Norway are inverted. 6a In our world, Bobby had radio interviews in the Philippines. In this world, Garry has radio interviews in Norway. 6b Then Prospero Pichay Jr is imprisoned and the Philippine chess federation is free from corruption. But Wesley is still American. Huhuhu. Oh, in this reality, Magnus' parents are evil and then Magnus gets adopted by religious parents who are friends of Garry, so it's like Magnus is Garry's nephew. The 2019 WKDCC is still like a pseudo - Bobby vs Garry, and it's billed as battle of thei nephews. 7 - But still no one actually really cares about chess1 because no one wants to have a headache over studying the same boring SP again and again. Also its top players Magnus & Garry are still cheaters. But well ok maybe in rapid & blitz chess1 is picking up. (Same as our world. Fiiiine Magnus is right about keeping regular chess for rapid & blitz.) So there's still a 2022 rapid world chess1 championship, half a century after the 1972 REGULAR match of the century. This time Hans Niemann wins beating Hikaru Nakamura on tiebreaks. This time Hikaru accuses Hans, but Hans still sues both Hikaru & Magnus. Ches***m is not sued and is just as good as lichess. Hans is still considered the next Bobby Fischer / Anatoly Karpov while Wesley & Nepo are still considered the current Bobby / Anatoly. 8 - In 2024Feb, FIDE still cancel their 2024 WKDCC, but Wesley & Nepo host a rapid chess1 championship but don't invite Magnus & Liren. Hans isn't a cheater but has still has beef with St Louis Chess Club and so doesn't play that due to scheduling conflicts, but Magnus & Hans are still going to eventually defend the, resp, classical & rapid world chess1 championships. 9 - In general, chess doesn't have that many cheaters, cheating incidents, baseless accusations, etc and has very little corruption, discrimination, treason, politics, etc. FIDE is hailed as 1 of the cleanest sports/gaming organisations. Chess is an olympic sport. Bobby/Anatoly are FIDE officials. 10 - Tiebreaks are settled by armageddon w/ auction rather than lower time controls, so Sergey & Fabi still lose to Wesley/Nepo in resp 2016 & 2018. But no one calls for change of tiebreaks to rapid time controls. Lol. Also, pre-arranged draws are so rare. 11 - Sergey isn't banned because Sergey only privately supports Putin because chess doesn't make people go insane unless they the players want to stick to 1 SP only, like Garry. 12 - Actually here, Bobby has very neutral feminist enlightened political views and is a true patriotic Jew & American ( in politics in addition to still being such a patriot in chess ) while respectfully criticising both US & Israel along side condemning Osama bin Laden / Al-Qaeda & Ismail Haniyeh / Hamas. So Bobby is still against Iraq invasion. 13 - Most importantly, no one cares about Garry, Magnus, Hikaru or Liren. Specifically, in this world, they care less about them as compared to Wesley, Nepo, Bobby & Anatoly in our world. 14 - Paradise. --- Ok back to reality: --- PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's (rapid WFRCC) WIFE vs Wesley's (classical WFRCC) GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

Aronian vs Anand (Tata Steel 2013) aka Anand's Immortal Game is the best immortal game in history of chess (IN MY OPINION).

[@CrazyBrett41]

I have to admit that this was a great game. I haven't seen that beautiful of a chess game since any of the good immortal games. And whoever said this game was better than Kasparov's immortal game, needs to get their head out of their rear end, because I agree with Antonio. While this game was good, it is not as good as the immortal that Kasparov did.

3rd: 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...

[@simondrastich1042]

I found a double sacrifice checkmate but only after 4 minutes of calculation, I know it's a classic game but how do I know when it's worth searching these crazy sacrifices, any suggestions? Time management can be crucial

[@jatsantsa]

You should get one special hoodie just for videos.

[@antoniobacic5674]

This is a nice checkmate, but not even comparable with Kasparov’s immortal game. Even I found the first pause moment solution and before you even asked; Kasparov’s combination, perhaps not even the best ever players (chronologically: Capablanca, Fisher, Tal, Magnus) could have found, what Kasparov did there is that outstanding and unreachable, and thus above what we saw here, with all due respect for this checkmate. PS speaking of Kasparov, it took the best engine of that time, with the assistance of humans and cheating all at the same time to bring him down, he was that good at his best.
