First Game is Always the Toughest! || Boden vs Morphy (1858)

[@SuperStarTidus18]

Agadmator is the both the fastest and slowest chess youtuber. One day he covers Carlsen vs Caruana less than an hour after its conclusion, on the next day he covers a game which finished 162 years ago.

Yes, very professional these days. Come a long way..

I even saw other commentators start using that phrase, lol. But... ...there always is more ado. Antonio will be Antonio, it's just a thing. ;)

[@butterflyvision3084]

I realise he was outclassed here in the overall match but I quite enjoy Bodens playstyle.

[@Jognism]

what style is that? Playing g4?

[@hfvales]

Heck, fewer things in chess are more exciting than a kingside pawnstorm, that shit is no joke. That's why I've always loved the KID, very nasty, very cool.

I love your channel man, I have learned so much from you, and I really love your reviews and commentaries.

It would still be winning for white since it would be a bishop pair against a knight but it makes you wonder how such a simple mistake can ruin your game.

[@brahmaarora4045]

Apollyon, you might be wrong, black would have rook and a knight which is better than bishop pair. Also since both the bishops are on the same file, Rf8 will win atleast one bishop.

[@MrK623]

You don't have to move the King 11:45, you can interpose the N it is protected 2x and even if R checks on the 8th rank, now the B can interpose. You also can't capture the B at 13:14 you must play Rf2. Capture allows check fork with the N.

[@nimeshkansagara819]

Fork with is still winning for white

Yes. But there's no reason to give the rook away for nothing.

[@tomconners8497]

I like agads, ancient European and American Masters games best or equally with the Magnus crowd games. It’s a very different thing to capture the oldsters and they’re particular geniuses. 👍

[@12Manza12]

Even if it is not very important, I would like to mention that in 13:06 you cannot capture the bishop because knight to d2 will fork king and rook. So definitely rook to f2 is the way to go. I think also that going directly for rook to h1 before moving the bishop may work :)

I’ve had this thought for a while but I haven’t bothered to share it before. Please, share your opinions. Is there a form of chess where each turn allows two moves back to back per player?

[@thedeadbaby]

Does 3 fold repition extend to 3-cycle repetition. Say there's a sequence of 6 moves that go back to starting position, if you do this sequence of 6 moves 3 times (for 18 moves) does it become a draw?

[@12gark]

Yes. Any number of moves that brings the board back to the same exact point repeated 3 times a draw. It's just rare that someone uses more than 1-2-3 moves repeating, because if both player know it's a draw, they usually find the quickest repetition to end the game.
