No One Takes Ivanchuk Into The Deep Dark Forest

[@yanair2091]

Hey Agad. You moving the pieces manually is one of the advantages you have over other chess channels. Please don't change that. Thank you

[@RaviTeja-vh4yk]

Yes

[@SnydeX9]

Moving the pieces with the mouse is an underrated part of this channel.

Hi Agadmator i hope you see this. I have been watching you since i started playing chess 6 years ago and i have the humblest of requests. I am from Trinidad and Tobago and on the first day of the Olympiad one of my countrymen named Quinn Cabralis played a brilliant game against Nordirbek Yakubboev. All the Caribbean mailmen would appreciate if you covered this game thank you.

At 3:30 for anyone wondering if the Bishop can be trapped, yes...but black will suffer after Nxe6 attacking the Queen and poses many threats, capturing on g5 further weakens Black's king safety giving white too many initiatives!

[@adithyaammu7993]

[@thomasneumann8497]

exactly my question, thanks

It's always nice when you cover a game featuring Uruguay in spite of the loss. Greetings from Uruguay.

[@Javidfarali1980]

I love when you show Vasyl games. He's fearless and thinks differently. Similar to Tal and Daniel Dubov

[@anilbista7445]

8:55 that is one hell of monstrous bishop One of the strongest bishop i have seen Attacking everything

[@Sergius648]

Not everything... it's not attacking the king. But both rooks and the queen has to be some sort of a record. Bonus for both Knights hanging at the same exact time.

[@UnknownUser-j3n]

Contrast that with his other bishop. Sitting idle like a boss for the entire game, and then delivering a game-ending check in the end.

[@mateoyoung4276]

That's Uruguay Chess Champion. Thanks for the game, Antonio!

@3:45 why not trap the bishop ?

[@Bananaizbeast]

Glad to see the double exclamation! Keeping up with what the the times is part of what helps is stay young. Great job

[@jeffwood5897]

At around 3:35 isn’t the bishop trapped if pawn f6 is played, I know I’m definitely missing something but I can’t find it

[@jamesmathews4726]

I had the same thought.... the undefended rook can be counterattacked (as he mentions) but they you just retreat with it and what's the issue?

[@Sergius648]

So... I guess the problem is e6 pawn if you attack the bishop with the f pawn. So if you try it after Rh3 - black just pushes away your only defender of it - the Queen. And then he'll take that pawn and attack the queen to boot. After that he'll have a straight shot at your King. For example: ...Qc5. Nxe6 Qxa3. Qe2(attacks that undefended rook) g6. f5 fxg5(taking that Bishop). fxg6 (your rook is undefended now) Rh6. g7... Baiscally you can't have an open King in the center together with hanging pieces like that - Tactics go against you.

[@67L48]

At 3:30, why wouldn't black respond with pawn to F6, trapping white's dark square bishop? I understand that it weakens the pawn structure there, but seems like it should be worth it for an entire piece? That move sat there for a few rounds, so it clearly is a poor move. I just am not smart enough to understand why. Seems like a complete blunder to me to have moved that white pawn to H4, sealing in that bishop.

#Suggestion I'm currently watching a game that has not finished, but is looking like one of the games of the tournament. GM Erik Blomqvist is playing against 200 points higher rated Kirill Shevchenko and has sacrificed two bishops in a brilliant attack. It appears he may end up sacrificing another minor piece within the next few moves.

[@Aurongroove]

The terror of someone who plays for enjoyment.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Vasyl did a great job bringing Andre’s into the forest 🌳 where he seemed to have lost his way not playing d5 which would’ve been better than the e5 he did play also not Grabbing the Bishop on e4 instead moving his knight to a4 it was definitely a turning point in the game Great play by Ivanchuk thanks for the game Agadmator

[@thomasdequincey5811]

Sicilian's are complicated, but that's what makes them fun to watch.

[@DissonantCat]

At 3:40, why not attack the white bishop which is blocked by it's own pawns?

[@Reflexzzzz]

The attack is too much, starts with Nxe6

[@HusseinEyadKazim]

Because of white will play Nxe6 and that will attack the queen on c7 which will cause black a lot of problems like structure weakness and vulnerable king

[@anilbista7445]

Ne6 comes and your position falls apart The queen very limited squares and white gets to bring all his pieces into attack with a temp

[@jaredongsing]

Can someone explain why the clock started with 1h30m48s? Why so exact?

[@kaldrazadrim]

At 3:34 if anyone wonders why not f6 to trap the bishop, it loses to Ne4, then Qe2 attacking the rook

[@Grandpa_Moses]

No one more entertaining than Vasyl, especially when he's in full Chucky mode

[@ronjohnson9690]

I kept looking at the white bishop, blocked in by its two pawns and wondering why black didn't push a pawn to capture it.

[@robblack2741]

I came her to ask the same thing. It would have been an automatic to me

[@Julius-chess]

yeah same here. its because the e6 pawn isnt defended if u push f6. Whites knights start jumping in (Nxe6 attacking the queen followed by the other kinght to d5) and black is in big trouble

[@dsodragon8152]

I saw the title and yes it'd be pretty weird to try to take the Tiger into the deep dark forest.... When Ivanchuk attacks you defend desperately and pray for him to make a mistake or get distracted, no other way out...
