Firouzja's Immortal Game?

[@Schematist]

Me: "Oh look I can capture the knight!" Agadmator: "This is no time to be capturing knights"

@Arash Kamangir - True. He's just a teenager and has quite a long time to become stronger. We have to see how he plays his next few games (with strong players).

[@fenderbender6763]

@@johnbevan4684 Agreed, but I mean he has already proven a lot, he is world n. 13 in classical and is only 17. So he is already competing with the absolute top

This game had it all! Insane white square bishop, agadmator fun fact AND a pawn B4 move! Legendary analysis

[@josephasghar]

I couldn’t even follow the winning moves AFTER they were explained.

[@sigma8519]

Agadmator's daily posts are truly like heaven. Thank you very much man.

[@Highbs]

Perhaps Antonio's best analysis yet. Very enjoyable.

[@andromedasiddhik2792]

#suggestion: So vs Nakamura 2015. Black Knights Matter. Very beautiful sequences of attacking with Knight and Queen

[@Scott-fo7pt]

“This is no time to be capturing knights”… what a quote

[@the_nephandi4551]

9:47 And it is as of move 18 that we have a much, much delayed Evan's Gambit, which is of course totally winning for White

[@diwa007]

That's a hurricane and nobody stands a chance facing it.

[@samudramuhammad6224]

I had to repeat like 5 times to understand the deep analysis of the b4 damn, good one as always agadmator!

[@cold7742]

You said in the hypothetical at 10:54 that black was winning and white would be in a bad spot, if black queen moved from d8 to d5, white moves e6 pawn to f7 causing check, then black f8 rook takes whites f7 pawn, but wouldnt the e1 rook be able to go to e8 and checkmate black? (due to white knight at f5 holding g7, and e8 rook holding the king) I'd like to know if that's wrong somehow.

[@n20games52]

That was an amazing pawn move. I never would have seen such an approach.

[@pardhabandaru1105]

Love to see the "Tactics flow from superior position- Anand" for this game or any other game in Agads channel

[@theehammaton.8811]

Agad: "Congratulations for not doing anythhing weird" proceeds to sacrifice the rook. Me:seems the defination of weird has changed

[@NowhereMan7]

The rook captured the bishop it wasn't sacrificed.

[@Gelfling66]

Something that I would love to see is if you could add the material advantage on the board. Normally it's pretty easy to follow along, but sometimes a side can be up a pawn for a long period, then the other side goes up a pawn, but you could forget about the first pawn, or if people trade a rook and bishop for a queen and a pawn or a rook for two pieces, etc, it get's confusing and newer people like myself can get lost easily

2:38 Can somebody explain to me why ...Cd5 is not a valid defensive ressource in this line?

[@mfulbright777]

At 6:58: after Bg5, why wouldn't black play ...f6? After that white would probably capture with the bishop, Bxf6 (re-pinning the g7 pawn), but then black can capture with the rook: ...Rxf6, exf6 Qxf6. Then probably Rxe6 and then maybe...Qd8? And things are certainly a little dicey for black, and black had to give back some material, but it looks like black may be able to hold.

[@indramaniarora7901]

4:40, after Ne5, f4, Ng6, why Nf5? there was f5 and f6, which would've given winning advantage to white.

Anyone here as he's now world #2, and the youngest 2800 player ever?

[@johndowry6867]

Antonio, it would be really helpful if you could be a little bit more exhaustive with your analyses. Some of us sub-1500s can't really see why some of the obvious moves don't work... e.g. after Bg5, why doesn't f6 work? if Nxe6 then fxg5. Not knowing these lines you might consider 'obvious' really makes it harder for us to truly appreciate the beauty of the game because we don't see the full picture of why a particular line is crushing...

I found Rxb7 only because I thought "hey, I have a good light-squared bishop there, just get rid of his light-squared bishop and then mine will reign supreme" Also, when he talked about the move that we wouldn't ever be able to find, first thing that came to my mind was b4 but then I said to myself "nah that's ridiculous lmfao".... I would never ever have even considered it though if it weren't for the important metadata agadmator provides us with

Antonio, please ignore all the negative comments from people accusing you of mislabeling this game as immortal. Fischer vs. Byrne was the Game of the Century despite Byrne making obvious wrong moves. Though different, both are brilliant games played by younger players. You titled this correctly. Keep up the good work :)

#Suggestion There is a game, Supi - Noritsyn, 2020 - Online Olympiads (0-1 due to a mouse slip), that has so many similarities with that one. Unfortunately, the pawn is on g4 (although it gives White more space on the Kingside, the Queen can't go to g4 nor h5, where is needed the most, how ironic!). www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2009173 Also, Rxb7 theme is really becoming a theme, huh?
