Passed Pawn is A Criminal!

[@lawrencefisher865]

Love the honesty of your play. Thank you for being an excellent teacher.

[@BluecordedPoet]

Didn't know how I'd like this content. It's now my favorite of all of your content. Love the analysis. "Or maybe I'm just bad at chess." 🤣🤣🤣 plus I learn in real time. Great video series.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I think it’s very popular with a lot of us we enjoy seeing how Antonio thinks his moves through his attacks and offensive ideas he comes up with he has a lot of knowledge on the lines openings what have you and like you say we can to see his human side which most chess players can identify as far as whether the game is going the way you want it to or not He’s Great with the official GM games as well etc

[@shubhamraghuvanshi2879]

love this series, keep it going

To the best of my knowledge, the single best predictor of longevity is hunger.

“Take EVERYTHING from him”😂😂😂 too brutal man, love your commentary on your own games

[@fcilpino]

watching you play is enjoyable & fun for me because i know you've analyzed so many games & its interesting watching your knowledge being put to the test, & playing along with u trying to figure out the best moves

[@JCPunkHead]

This was so FUN to follow with Agad, been a long time subscriber, watch every video that comes out, but these types of videos just scratches a completely different itch. Love the post game analysis as well, learnt so much! Keep it up :)

[@odinniereece4096]

@10:00 I was gonna go bxa7 and give up the bishop for the 3 connected pass pawns on the queen side

[@zakhutsul8227]

Your channel inspired me to pick up chess again. I am truly thankful that you stuck with it from day one. You're like an indie song everyone likes, that should get radio play, but remains low-key because it belongs to the people. Thank you for your contribution to culture & society🙏

[@billderas3420]

Loving these games!!! You are a very good end game player...Opened my eyes to great solutions.

[@kaewonf8]

"I seem to be to hungry, or just bad at chess." 🤣🤣🤣

[@jameshogan6142]

As Antonio said himself working for his meal.

[@TheMg49]

I enjoyed watching this, and your commentary throughout. Thumbs up.

[@davidschneide5422]

When a passed pawn puts pressure on a pinned piece, it reminds me how prior proper planning prevents piss-poor performance.

[@kaldrazadrim]

I love these rapid vids. Keep going

[@toddbowles8201]

You are a master of the end game.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Yes he does seem to pull ahead in some very close games toward the end for sure

[@catac83]

17:17 rook to e8 wins his rook and then checkmate after you move the bishop

[@szucsipiano7]

but there's Kd7 after Re8..

[@samusstrife1988]

Analyzing your game to see where you can improve is a great indicator of 2500+ in the making, love your content Antonio.

[@awriter1214]

Antonio: Passed pawn is a criminal The pawn who's been studying the whole sem for passing the course: 🥺

[@machineFa8]

I think these games are definitely improving my games

[@teambellavsteamalice]

Omg, I saw the Nxf5 move! I didn't see the idea of the passed pawn or rather assumed he'd give up the bishop and win with three passed pawns on the queen side...

[@tysonsupasatit7475]

I’m learning a lot by watching your rapid games and the analysis. It’s improving my play a lot!

[@robelengida6211]

Nice tip in the beginning. Never thought of that. Thanks

[@jonathancauley5345]

I’m just loving theses games Agadmator! :)

[@ethanyamazaki1755]

I really think agad can do a Speedrun series from low elo. This is very entertaining and educational, and somehow more comprehensible then GM Speedruns.

[@jansonfamily8579]

This format is great. Amazing you can do leading commentary during the game.

[@shubhamraghuvanshi2879]

at 10:00 why didn't you take the a7 pawn with the bishop, since even after b6. you can take and get three pawns for the bishop, and with check from the knight

[@T1000mileman]

good one!

[@jameshogan6142]

I noticed that but was unsure what the follow up would be. Was there enough artillery on the queen side to get the pawns up the board do you think?

[@cftpafan]

Pieces are better than pawns.

[@greenmoxy]

It's blitz so I agree don't beat yourself up plus a win is a win. I was noticing some of recommended moves. I'm glad it's not touch move because you touch all the pieces before you move.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Doesn’t count with the mouse 🐁

[@sanojames9518]

at 20:01 u could have sacrificed bishop to h6 force his bishop to take urs then queen and fork finally he will resign. if he wont take it then he has to move his king to to f6 to defend bishop and stay away from your bishop line then u take pawn b7 to check, move his king to g6 ,take his bishop with check, he will take ur bishop then deliver queening mate.

[@jamesec1949]

I’m commentating at the 6:00 minute mark before going on. You’ve got yourself all tied up! Now I’ll start the time and see how you get out? I watched to the end. Glad you got out. I think trading queens was best. Your end game was good. Always endeavor to persevere!

[@shashishekhar----]

Keep this series coming Agad

[@kingStribor]

8:43 missed tactic Nxf5, if Rxf5 than Rxe4

[@cygnustsp]

He was too hungry.... Or bad at chess

[@theviscount9985]

Maybe it works though.

[@cftpafan]

It’s a shame because he was looking for a move like that too he just went too quickly

[@ronniesapp4469]

Have you done Karpov Kasparov first title program and the craziness that happened ?

[@joeyespinosa8324]

8:37 Nxf5?

[@BenAlternate-zf9nr]

At 8:30 can you take the pawn?

[@mohammadomarfaruk825]

Pragnananda and Nihal make the first round game please

[@yaakovsteinberg4128]

minute 20: bishop to H6 is instantly winning. black will ignore you with king to F7, but then you will play rook B7 check and black will have to attack your pawn and bishop. (or not and lose the bishop with mate soon to follow). Rook captures bishop with check, king captures bishop on h6, (or not). if yes then mate instantly, if not then mate in like 5-6?

2nd : Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'. Speaking of Wesley So Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend! 2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1...

would you play some king's gambit against 1.e4 e5?

[@danielwhite2178]

Thanks

[@eckhartpedersen3972]

For once I saw a tactic that you missed. I probably also missed several things that you did see, so it doesn't mean much... Just wish you had seen the tactic with the hanging bishop, so frustrating to see you ignore that 😂

[@armaosk]

at 17:50, rook at e8 was checkmate!!

[@blue_red_screen]

Kd7 by black

[@armaosk]

​@@blue_red_screenright, my bad.

[@hobit7585]

Dude when in doubt, complicate, you played super passive vs f5

[@anthonysellers6455]

I would have went for the bishop sac for 3 pawns 👌👌

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

I saw that. And the last pawn you take comes with tempo because the black king is in check from the knight. Not sure where that leaves white as far as tactics tho. Yes, the black king is WIDE open, but then you have to start trying to push pawns at it and battle black's extra piece as he defends. Probably still an even game at that point.

[@anthonysellers6455]

@@preparedsurvivalist2245 you have to be extremely precise when a minor piece is battling against 3 pawns. You’re probably right though… engine says everything like that is a draw

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I’m not sure if at that point you were able to promote that pawn I would’ve promoted right away not taking any chances it worked out great looked like a drawish game to a point you definitely outplayed this opponent as you have done also in previous games when it was crunch time Toward the beginning of game it looked as if c3 was a good way to get an attack going on theBlack king after it had castled to the Queen side since your knight and Bishop were controlling c3 he started coming out you with the pawn push you handled that great Thanks Agadmator Love these games Have a Good day

[@PanteraDeNoche]

Complements the opponent for such good play. Beats him and then says "I'm just bad at chess."

When you were talking about "what if we trait rooks" 17:27 it was a mate in 2.

[@Rishan_Iftekhar]

No, the king could escape through d7

Don't have to block with the rook, king d7

Oh Yeah... I missed that. I thought rook would block in a haste. My bad!
