Hey Agad, just found out Medo died. My condolences. I'm subscribed to your channel since 2013, and Medo was just always there. He will be missed.

[@Saiganesh2108]

Thank you so much for posting my suggestion. I actually suggested some games of Larsen from sozen tournament of 1967. If possible please cover those. Thanks.

[@bloxorzwizard7931]

That was Sousse, Tunisia in 1967. Larsen and Fischer were both in that tourney. Fischer, who was leading the tourney, left after a Tourney after a dispute with the organizers over playing games on his religious sabbath. See his game with Miagmarsuren, a Kings Indian atrack. It's a classic. In 1981 at Lone Pine, I played the same variation in a 5 minute game against Joe Bradford, who had won The US Open and US Open Speed Championship. I lost on time but was tripled up with Q and Rs on the G file and most of my minors on the Kside and his K was trapped on h8 and my pawn chain was smothering his pieces and keeping them mostly on the queenside. So I asked him: well what slow you think of the position, and he said: Are you kidding? You're killing me!

[@yndihalda]

​​​@@jameshogan6142 The letters denote which format the game (that is presented in the video) is played in. This game for example was played in the Classical format, so it's "C". For Rapid it's "R", and for Blitz, "B" and so on.

[@AdamGenesisArt]

He's a good friend of Magnus

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

The Magnus streams where chat makes fun of David’s forehead are hilarious.

[@88mphDrBrown]

I had no idea Howell is rated that high. Is he in the top 50? He just always acts so self deprecating and deferential to super GMs in videos, I would never have guessed he was that close.

[@VibhasPatil]

He killed it in the last Olympiad. His performance rating was either 2800 or very close to that (I don't remember exactly). He also won gold on one of the boards I think. David is a monster of a player.

[@fangiscool1]

​@VibhasPatil his peak rating was a hair over 2700

[@fangiscool1]

I checked and he's rank 52. Howell is a former super GM, so he knows how difficult it is to maintain or exceed play at that level

[@VibhasPatil]

@@fangiscool1 Rating of the player in a format is different from performance rating within a tournament. I was referring to the latter.

David is always impressive. Like that game where he pointed out to Magnus that he could trap dudes queen. He instantly saw it and faster than Magnus.

[@jakenhagar9127]

Devious David! What a photo!

After QxR, cant you play KH2 to prevent QH3? And if QG4 (with thenidea of QH5+), then RH1! You lose the exchange but get yo fight on.

[@alpha007org]

True.

Hahaha! Pennywise Howell

David wasn’t Goliath. Goliath is the guy who gets defeated by a seemingly much weaker opponent.

You win some you lose some. Sometimes resigning is the best move.

David "I beat up little kids for fun" Howell

[@thatgamerguy6927]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't queen to H2 nullifying the checkmate? This is after black queen captures rook ?

[@martygreenspan-xy2jo]

I think KH2 would nullify it, if thats what you mean.

[@ThanosLuvsDeath]

Woow, I did not know he was 2700 at one point. That is very impressive.

What is mean by GOLIATH ?! mentioned n title

Agad you are the best, you are also an MMA fan, awesome :D

[@harjutapa]

I'd love to see you do MMA analysis (maybe on a second channel?). Too many MMA commentators are hyperbolic or let their biases run away with them. I think we could trust you to keep level headed and I also think we'd all enjoy hearing your thoughts. Not to mention, the comments section would likely be significantly more pleasant than most MMA comments sections.

[@EvansChikasa]

It was a game between Howell and Boswell. At least all went well 😊

[@mcronrn]

Question for KID experts - When playing Mishra in Biel recently, Pragg moved his knight from f6 to e7 on move 6, then followed up with c5 and b5, sorta like a Benko. Mishra played a Sarmisch with f3 and Nge2 d4 Nf6 c4 g6 Nc3 Bg7 e4 d6 f3 O-O Nge2 Nfd7 My question is - is this use of Benko ideas common in the KID? Does Nfe7 work against other setups? Thx!

[@mcronrn]

#suggestion Pragg mowed Mishra down on the queen side. I’m not a big KID guy, or even 1.d4 tbh, but this clashed w everything I thought I knew about the KID, and I don’t really know how to find the answers to my questions.

[@hagendoe5857]

8:08 can someone explain why you cannot go Bf4 and after Qh3 Rxf3? I just don‘t see how that does not work for white

it opens up the line for the rook battery, if you move the bishop rook e2 seems quite strong
