@@luisalonso959 You are not. Because You are the next level of Mikhai Tal.

[@wisdomejikeme3752]

Good game Antonio, this game shows your fighting spirit. You had a lost position against a strong opponent yet you kept finding moves to complicate the game! And what a nice story to finish it with! Kudos! 👏

[@SacredLiquid]

"complicate the game" is so underrated as a tactic for new players. Tal made a career out of it. (He was also a super strong GM but you get my point. If you make your opponent overthink positions, you're winning the mental game.)

[@jaroslavsysel7132]

​@@SacredLiquid ..p.

[@ivanl.8201]

@@SacredLiquid I agree. At least on a club/amateur level, the majority of players are much better attackers than defenders & they are not really all that interested in learning fine defensive skills. They'd rather go on offense! But what this means is that if you're being pushed & pressed in a game but find a nice defense & counterattack strategy and/or can spot the shifting trends in the position, it's amazing how quickly your opponent can fall apart, simply because they've not mentally readied themselves for a shifting trend on the chessboard. GM Rowson does a superb job of explaining it in "7 Deadly Chess Sins", and it's amazing how many amateur/club players just want to play in a certain way and follow certain attack patterns that they get completely blindsided when positions shift and change. An unexpected defensive sacrifice followed by a swift counterattack is sometimes all it takes to throw the opponent off completely.

[@edgreen2660]

It occurs to me that's it's possible he offered you a draw because he thought, "This guy makes mistakes, but he's tricky."

[@elardbronkhorst6812]

I hope you post more of your own games because this is so good to watch

This Antonio looks like a promising career. Hope to see more games from him soon!

[@yairkama7015]

"You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one." And so you did. Nicely done!

[@jdeck7803]

At last you show a game by my favorite chess player of all time!

[@timdavis5117]

You are the only Chess channel I will ever watch Antonio. Thank you for getting me through the pandemic and more of these types of games please!

[@thomazkawauche]

This video is extremely inspiring! Every time I play a bad game (and this is very common), I want to quit chess. But now I'm going to remember this video to motivate myself and at least try to have fun. I am very grateful that your channel exists, Antonio! (from Brazil)

[@anilbista7445]

The fact is once you learn the beauty of chess it's almost impossible to quite It's like some addiction

[@markclerici8975]

Antonio, you are one of the humblest and most down to the earth chess youtuber

[@brunomeneghessi8835]

sometimes Chess is like poetry, sometimes it is like a brawl. Both have their own merits. Good fighting spirit! Inspiring!

[@rogerstone3068]

Thank you for your honesty, Antonio. That felt a lot more like the sort of position I find myself in all the time, and you give inspiration to play on until the bitter end, never giving up.

[@colorsofsound4782]

Of course 7:08 pawn to b4 is crushing as usual

[@harikumarv4658]

Wow Antonio! This was such a fun game. You're truly so very humbling. It's amazing to watch you comment on your own game and being brutally honest about your sentiments about the game and the tournament!

[@GregoryWonderwheel]

Thanks for sharing this. Sounds like he was a real gentleman as well as humble. "Because it's dirty." was a real Zen response.

[@Sturmwald]

Thank you so much for sharing this piece of personal history with us. This entire video is completely winning

[@MP-pv5mo]

This was a great game, love you honest and forthright videos. Keep going because, I think I speak for all of us, we love you.

Good game Antonio, nothing has to be perfect it’s a wonderful game you fought hard and earned the draw. ❤

we love your games Agad and we love your fighting spirit and never say die attitude over the board! perhaps one day we could look forward to the Antonio Radic saga?

Beautiful game! Fantastic job!!

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

I really needed a good laugh this evening, thank you, this game was hilarious! (But also educational, you played a rather romantic style there and in engine-times, people forget how much pressure can build up if your opponent keeps attacking and sacrificing relentlessly, even if it's all smokes and mirrors!)

[@GraemeRobinson]

enjoyable and instructive - thanks for the story. Thanks to stories like this I am at peace with my 'disgusting' chess abilities and enjoy playing and play more - so a great video thanks.

[@MM-gk1tm]

I loved the anecdote about him sweeping the street. Cleaning is a spiritual act :).

[@mikedilworth2032]

Antonio we need more games by you I honestly think you are one of the chess gods your knowledge of the game your breakdowns and memory of so many games and lines and everything is definitely godmode

[@ronjohnson9690]

I enjoy your plays on the chessboard. Anyone ever say "Why are you playing Fide masters?" Say, "Because I need to increase my vast knowledge and share it with others."

"series of bad moves that kinda created a something" is basically the description of most of my games

Interesting game, thanks for sharing. Lovely story as well.

[@badangblackheart]

you're such an elite player for me! Thanks Agad 😎

[@jeremiahflintwinch2979]

In my first (and only) game against a FIDE Master, I wasn't aware that he was one. I had just moved to a new town, showed up the the university chess club one evening and had a really good run, beating him and others in blitz. The next week I joined the local chess club tournament and ended up playing him in the first round, still oblivious. I came out of the opening with a slight advantage and he offered me a draw (because after my blitz performance the week before he thought I was a strong player...), which I accepted. When I found out about his title and ELO, I was so proud. And then I blew the next two games against lesser opponents by blundering pieces. I dropped out of the tournament in embarrassment. Oh well.

[@jackbicknell4711]

In the first line you said it was your only game against an FM, then you go on to say that you played him again. My bullshit-o-meter is pinging

[@DieFlabbergast]

@@jackbicknell4711 The blitz game doesn't count, obviously. The only bullshit around here is coming from your direction.

@@DieFlabbergast hahaha okay buddy

[@jackbicknell4711]

[@nathanielhofer4149]

Delightful and heartwarming

[@groussac]

I can relate. I think I was down 3 pieces in a grossly misplayed Traxler Counterattack, but I was so engrossed with holding my pawn formation together that I forgot to sulk. No pleasant memories of a GM sweeping the sidewalk, but but there were follow on memories of learning more about the Traxler. Nothing like a good ass whipping to make you crack the books.

[@evilotis01]

you did really well! it shows that it's always worth fighting on for a bit :)

[@markattila9835]

Great story. So much to learn from it.

[@MrEliasMarques]

"The moves you will see here, you've probably never played such bad moves." Oh, Antonio. You have no idea the bad moves I can come up with.

[@b.j.a.m.peters]

Beautiful anecdote about the amazing power of humility. "Because it's dirty", just as logical as chess itself.

[@erickrosito3659]

And it was after this game that Antonio decided to become a chess KZbin professor.
