Former World Champion Crushed in AlphaZero Style

[@rg7535]

Anton Korobov is one of the most aggressive and creative players today. Love watching his games.

[@12jswilson]

Who all are in the "must see" crazy chess category? Korobov, Alice Lee, Daniil Dubov, and Baadur Jobava. Who else should be on the list?

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Very Creative Moreso than I’ve seen from other GM games

[@Neonator08]

Anton Korobov, the man with the greatest hair in the chess world verses the man representing every other guy's hair on earth.

[@Cinephile..]

😂

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Similar haircut myself went through my mind 🤩

[@ponza6887]

Nothing better than waking up at 6am and seeing an agadmator video

[@nicbentulan]

You're GMT+11? It's 3am in Hong Kong / the Philippines. (I looked up GMT+11 sooo...) You're Russian? Or Australian?

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

I can think of many things better than waking up at 6am. The video can wait.

[@robertpsotka3525]

Yup, 1 make coffee, 2 see if Agadmator posted anything

[@steven-834]

5:04 imagine if that was played That is the most brutal fork I’ve ever seen. Queen, king, and both rooks

[@michaelmassaro4375]

😂 fortunately Avoided as are so many moves by these GMs that I wouldn’t see coming no doubt 😅

[@riyanshusarkar6677]

Anton Korobov games are always very interesting

[@ronjohnson9690]

Korobov played a truly excellent game.

[@ΜάριοςΚαραβασίλης-θ3π]

Please cover some games of Greek IM Kourkoulos. He's half a point behind Korobov right now with an astonishing performance so far. They play each other today on board 1.

[@dilejjja]

Great game against Safarli. I also rate Mastrovalis highly.

[@GeorgeParasidis]

Πάμε ρε πατρίδα!

[@jro3213]

At 5:05 it's an even more impressive fork than he mentioned, BOTH rooks and the queen are forked!

[@cniedbala87]

He was so close...it was right there for the highlighting 😭 next time, agad, next time...

[@davidcopson5800]

It's like some kind of forking hell!

[@jackobriant9321]

You always know it’s going to be good when Korobov shows up on this channel.

[@jamesec1949]

OMG, I saw Q to d6. First time after watching dozens upon dozens of games. I am not a player other than to say I know how the pieces move and some of the standard openings. Beyond that, an intermediate played would trounce me in a matter of minutes. But I love watching these and I’m so happy to finally see the right move. 🙋‍♂️👍

[@BigChunk4530]

[@anthonysellers6455]

What a monster fork. King, queen, and BOTH rooks 💥💥💥

[@Furin1521]

Got the pause the video moment instantly, this was satisying! Great game 🥰

[@louisjagger2177]

Monster royal fork alluded to about 5 minutes in is queen, king and BOTH rooks! The biggest royal fork of all!

[@JW-qd3ol]

Some people say it is the extra 3 rating points that helped Korobov beat Ponomariov, but I think it was the wild hair energy.

[@Vex-iy8zm]

5:02 That fork is an abomination 🥶

[@peterrabbit2965]

Brilliant game. I'd have to watch a hundred times to understand how Korobov won. Love it!

[@gioelesnider9402]

5:05 What a monster fork !!

[@jsanon1634]

Black could have won the game twice but even experts have their oversights. Could not see how White can maneuver into a winning position towards the end, such brilliancy.

Why instead of Rook captures Bishop on A6 can black not defend with Rook to F8? 7:56

[@pakemijoshua9068]

If Rf8 then white plays Qe7 with mate at the g7 square. Black can't escape mate either way

[@yamahantx7005]

5:05 Actually, it's the ultimate royal fork, forking the queen and BOTH rooks.

[@MegaGandalf12]

5:03 - Knight forks both Rooks and the Queen while delivering a Check! It would have become a knight of the Round Table!

[@igorshubovych]

Wow! What a game!

#suggestion Supi x MVL, Pro Chess 2023, Najdorf Sicilian, featuring b4!

[@Raghavanm]

I wonder what happens if the Bishop D7 blocking the rook and Queen from going up?

[@johndeever]

I thought this too, but it must not work? I can’t figure out why? Is it bc NxR, KxN, RxBch, Kf6 Qe7ch & K gets hunted down w Q & R somehow?

[@Raghavanm]

@@johndeever unlikely I think. Remember at some point even white’s bishop is hanging. So if the bishop is taken then the black queen also has access to the last row

[@terryhigson434]

[@thegreekgoat98]

Was Anton Korobov in Prision Break?

[@michaelmassaro4375]

That’s some kind of an offensive Game right there by White totally Devastating I could not imagine making such Great Moves and being able to foresee what would occur with those choices behind the moves it’s why these GMs are so gifted they can spot all these possible calculations and play their game the most effectively Great Game Great Call

[@eshneto]

#suggestion Supi x Vachier-Lagrave recently played an amazing Najdorf featuring the most amazing b4 move by the brazilian GM. I'd love to see this game featured in Agadmator's channel.

[@Headhunter_212]

That was mindbending.

[@philipstrange60]

Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!

[@ziojar]

0:4:03 You can hear the bishop unsheathe the sword

[@Trip_Fontaine]

At 1:22, why isn't Be7 just strictly better than Bd6? Didn't Ponomariov just give his opponent a free move for no reason? How was this played by someone else as well? They give their opponent a free move to tempt him into a line that is the best line anyway? I don't get it.

[@jro3213]

I beg to differ, Hans Smoky Niemann has the best hair in chess!

[@cobalius]

Yeah, i've seen it. I mean a possible backrank weakness was obvious, the possible backrank infiltration point on d8 for that possible mating attack was obvious and the interference of the defense of the rook and the other infiltration point on d6 was obvious. Since the knight on c6 was covering d8, i decided it to be the key defender, which needed to be removed first. After evaluating, that the e5 knight would have been superior to the a6 bishop in the sense of sacrife possibilities in general, thanks to the interference and the f7 coverage (which lets the backrank mating threat become real), it was just the question which piece would need to kamikaze the key defender (c6 knight). The queen obviously not. The question was, do i have time for the infiltration Qd6 now or should i sacrifice the rook immediately? (Move-Order question) Also, the bishop on a6 was a possible defensive ressource in any of my calculations, as it either closes off the a file to not allow the rook infiltration on a2 or possibly countering Qf7+ and Qd1+ checks, so i evaluated, that the king would be safe enough down there for the attack. Since the rook infiltration was a major threat as it would give black too much counterplay, i ultimately decided, the escape route for the king needed to be e2-f3 (possibly followed by the Be2 parry) rather than to try to defend the possibly weak rook on c1. This reasoning was for me enough to decide on Qd6 first, although i must admit, that this wasn't calculated completely, as i didn't even considered taking the rook with the queen nor have i evaluated whether the c7 rook would have been possibly poisoned.

[@dmitryshkolnik5233]

Thanks for the episode, but.. rUslan ponomAryov? What's wrong with those stresses ffs?

[@FrGOMG]

is there a difference between classical world champion and fide world champion? i don understand what he meant by that

[@uauser-ez5ye8mf4m]

There was time in late 90 and Kasparov agressivly press on FIDE. So had two World chess champion versions with different schema. FIDE proposed football like rounds. And in 2004 Ponomarjov hardly beat in finals Vasyl Ivanchuk.

[@Irakrezz23]

That's really complicated game

[@mathisj6582]

I've allways liked Anton. Def one of my fav players. I dont know why, he just seems like a cool dude.

But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on. P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See xcdhgq

Will u stop posting new video at this time... I am not able to sleep without seeing the game.... Sorry for that

[@TheJayman760]

If instead of Rxa6, Black tries Rf8 there is a nice smothered mate with Rxc8 Raxc8, Qxe6+ Kh8 (Rf7, Qxc8+ Rf8, Qe6+), Nf7+ etc. and if Rxf7, Qxc8+ and mate next.

[@stefangoebel6041]

And the smothered mate still works, if you capture with Rfxc8: Qxe6+, Kh8 (Kf8, Qf7 mate), Nf7+, Kg8, Nh6 ++, Kh8 (Kf8, Qf7 mate), Qg8, Rxg8, Nf7 mate
