Going to show this immediately to my friends at the bar and library after I've watched it before by myself.

is it a ‘bar and library’ in one ?

Agad is the only youtuber who requests NOT to share the video but to show the actual game itself over a board. What a passion he has for the game! Antonio, you have done a lot more for chess than many legends had done together, if I may. Love from India.

[@P.sherman45]

He is the OG. Chess network and agadmator were the only chess youtubers before the chess boom.

[@Niccion]

@@P.sherman45The chess website KZbin Channel was before agadmator, those videos go long way back. The first KZbin chess videos I saw. But I think agadmator made KZbin chess videos popular

[@andylee63]

I enjoy a variety of chess streamers, theatrics and all, but I keep coming back to the calm, thoughtful, and well-communicated videos of Agad and ChessNetwork. And the comment sections on Agad's videos are always fun.

[@AwestynJaxxxson]

He's also one of the only youtubers that ISN'T a total dick to new players just to farm views Looking at you Gotham...

Agad: "One of the craziest games we've ever seen!" Engine: "Nothing to see here, folks. Move along please!"

That’s what the engine says about most of my games lol

[@steveOCalley]

Engines DO chess. People PLAY chess. Chess is just a chore for engines. Ain’t got no souls.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

A remarkable win he could have had the forced checkmate even earlier as Agad pointed out but that’s some skill coming back from losing the Queen than a Rook very Cool

[@polemikful]

He gave us a couple of seconds to spot mate in 7, what a nice guy

[@rp4658]

No he gave you a couple of seconds to pause the video. Then you would have had as long as you wanted to find the mate in 7.

[@Trip_Fontaine]

This game actually gets better since he missed the "immortal" line. The pinwheel at the end is delightful.

[@a.m.armstrong8354]

13:08 "But I mean who finds this?" Agadmator at his very best!

[@kneelbeforeiskeletor]

What a magical game, full of "poisonous fruits" and Nezhmetdinov/Tal style sacrifice sorcery. Romantic chess lives yet another day. Thanks for your analysis, Antonio!

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Wow I just finished commenting what a magical Game than I read your comment right after this Game was Awesome

[@sajaljaiswal1659]

By looking at the title, I was a little disappointed thinking Agad is also going for clickbait-y titles for views but after looking at the game, my faith is restored. What a game!! Thanks Antonio. Still the best chess channel❤💯

[@cascade_reaction5322]

Such cursed thumbnail, but we love it

[@cygnustsp]

Flat earthers will hate it

[@brianjones9780]

This was definitely a must-see game. The video title isn't clickbait at all, this game was incredible. That 0.00 evaluation after the queen sacrifice especially shows just how intricate chess can be. It's games like this one that will keep me interested in chess for probably my whole life

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Definitely a magical Game

[@reinebautistamercado4286]

There were just two moves left. What a dick move to resign and not allow that beautiful checkmate!

[@Knanbread]

I loved this! #suggestion , your Nezhmetdinov vs Chernikov game is already 5 years old, would be awesome to see you cover your favourite game again with more hype!

[@jurjenvanderhoek316]

His covering of this game is just perfect as it is. His introduction to the actual queen sacrifice is very nice, and he gives some interesting details about the actual game when this move was played. I am not sure what you exactly mean with "hype", but i have an idea and it does not look good. There is already far too much "hype" on the internet, and i love Agadmator for not having it.

[@amosdraak3536]

I hate it when KZbinrs repost games when there are so many classics they haven’t covered

[@amosdraak3536]

It feels like it fuels close mindedness. “Hey, we saw that game already, but not this other classic/ these other classics people ask for, so how about you redo it?”

[@judemorales4U]

​@@jurjenvanderhoek316 I so agree. He is sophisticated in his delivery.

[@vaughnraley8591]

Damn this suggestion got shot down 😕

[@charlestipton6287]

Thank you for the continuous, amazing content that you provide for us

[@revazgardavadze3771]

6:18 you aren't up too much material, you're actually down a pawn but in a far more active and winning position.

[@panda4247]

Yes, but basicaly you are up. Blacks 8th rank is paralyzed. The knight on g6 is hanging. If you try to save it, then maybe Ne6+, king somewhere, Nc7 wins the rook...

[@tonylove4800]

A mesmerising game. Huge credit to the FM who played out of his skin and only lost because his opponent somehow surpassed him. Thanks for that, Agadmator.

[@andrew_owens7680]

Had I impossibly managed to get to the final knight moves, no doubt I would have drawn with repetition. Great game!

[@jamesec1949]

I don’t know how many games I’ve watched but it’s a lot. I have to write that this was the most entertaining by far. You asked if we enjoyed it? Speaking for myself, you bet! Btw, I don’t play chess but I love watching your videos. I binge watch most nights. You are an amazing host, analyst and historian. Thank you. 🙋‍♂️👍

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Watching is a great way to enjoy Chess I do play on line at times but when I want to reduce stress watching these Games is much more relaxing than having to compete

[@bendriver3242]

It’s been a while. So nice to see this game, thank you Agad.

[@jonblais82]

Crazy position after crazy position as soon that queen sacrifice took place, brilliant game and brilliant analysis as always.

[@CubanCubeFan]

Agad pronouncing names is one of my most favorite things ever

[@nekrataali]

I don't know how he does it. You'll get someone who's Polish-Tibetan-Finnish royalty with parents that converted to Judaism with a name like Gal Wojciechowski-Gyaltsen-Ruotsalainen-Methuselah III, Jr. and Agad will pronounce the whole thing correctly without effort.

[@panda4247]

Well, he actually butchered these pretty bad. White should be something like Gergey Ahn-draash Dew-lah Sabo... (not Zabo) But Hungarian is one of the weirdest european languages, so...

[@ediskuko5947]

@agadmator's_Chess_Channel: Gergej-Andraš Đula Sabo vs. Stepanenku

[@xadrezbrasil]

06:19 up material because Antonio can see the future! The continuation would probably be …Nf5 then Ne6+ followed by Nc7 and indeed white will be a rook up 👍🏻

[@d4slaimless]

But at present 6:19 it is black who is up one pawn. However blacks position is disastrous Knight on b8 is pinned, so Rook on a8 is a dead weight. And saving Knight from g3 leads to loosing that Rook.

[@jurgen4466]

This was truly a Immortal game! 🤩🥳😇

[@georgeray649]

I played this video 4times now. Just to listen the way how Agad explains. The best chess channel.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Sounds like an idea I’ll definitely watch it again great game I get a better understanding of a game after seeing it couple times Thanks for the comment

[@jamestellsthetruth]

This has to be the most beautiful game I've seen. Thank you for sharing. So many incredible positions and ideas.

[@misternewoutlook5437]

Usually in pause the video spots where Agad announces a mate, you can usually figure those out fairly quickly. Not this one. I poured over it for a long time. It's the second move which is the one so hard to find. I couldn't find it, and it's so annoyingly clear when you see it too.

[@josephsalmonte4995]

One of the most creative games that I've ever seen. Well played by both players 👍

[@Edward.....]

🤔 At 6:18 Agad says "and now you are [hypothetically] just up to much material" … but in fact, in that potential position, White is net down one pawn. Not sure if I missed something

[@adewilyan8030]

Probably because white up too much "developed" material, 2 black pieces trapped gonna lose one of em in couple move.

[@DeBert]

Indeed, White is down material. But after the knight moves, simply Nxe6+ followed by Nc7 and the claim of Agadmator got true after all :-)

[@Trip_Fontaine]

The knight on g3 is hanging. If Black tries to save it, he faces the even worse fate of Ne6+, then Nc7 winning the rook.

[@rkrmtest]

Made my (probably everyone else's as well) Sunday a great one for sure!

[@aaronmiles3846]

This was so good I had to watch it back twice. Would you consider re-doing your Nezhmetdinov vs Chernikov video, as it's been 5 years and I think your analysis and commentary has come a long, long way since then?

[@amosdraak3536]

Bro there are so many other games. Why? It sucks for us who have asked for different things when he keeps focusing on the same few things. He’ll never have real variety

[@martonandorka]

Szabó is a Hungarian name and it is pronounced simply as "Sabo" not with a "Zabo" :)

[@AlamoCityCello]

Great analysis Tony! Thanks

[@drewhardin3992]

This feels very much like an immortal game. I am not a historian on such matters, but this looks and feels pretty much like many of the other immortal games that I have seen. The mere presence of a slight technical error just proves it was played by a human being.

[@gluteus_maximus1]

Agreed sir /madam. Absolutely it's an immortal game. I reviewed the Nez-Chern game before making this comment and sadly, disagree with Antonio on this occasion. Please reconsider - it follows the player's zenith /brilliancy as well after all, as much as our beloved game's evolution in general...

[@Trip_Fontaine]

The fact that he missed the "immortal" line actually makes the game even better, since we get the amazing pinwheel and beautiful checkmate at the end.

[@alfluna5]

Agree. What the engine says doesn't matter, even the Kasparov-Topalov immortal has mistakes.

[@d4slaimless]

I think after missing the move white made even better combination. I mean the mate in the end looks spectacular.

[@maithevnesegirl6404]

Agreed, then Agad has to be a dick about it and not award him his immortal.

[@depayanpaul433]

This is one of the most complicated and beautiful games of chess that I've ever seen.

[@CrimeanHorseArcher]

Whatever the rating, Szabo is a chess legend now, Stepanencu played well too.

I agree one of the best games I've ever seen. My others are the evergreen, Fischer vs Byrne, there was another immortal game you showed with an under promotion to a knight with check mate.

[@fisher00769]

Hey Antonio, what a marvelous game. I just thought I would mention as I know you are an excellent pronouncer of foreign names that as difficult as those names are, you have made a terrific effort. However, even though this was played in Romania, Gergely-Andras-Gyula Szabó is actually a Hungarian name. The "ly" letters together in Hungarian mark a single phoneme, it is the same as a "y" sound in English, like in the word "you". "S" on its own would be the same as the "sh" sound in English and "sz" is how we would write what the English normally mark with an "s" only. "Gy" is another tricky double-letter, it's similar to the sound before the "u" when you say "duty" for example.

[@turtle752436]

True. An amazing game. Should we make the game easier by adding vol to the position eval, or do they already have that. It was funny, to find the eval at 0.00 but then one wrong move and it swings all the way to checkmate for possibly both sides. Thank you Agad and thank you to the players as well. I don't even remember who won. A 'true colors' game. Kudos!
