Secrets Of The Two Knights

[@Goshaughnessy]

"some of my ideas are bad, some of them are terrible" 😂😂 I can relate to that @agadmator

[@Axiomatic75]

If it's any consolation, 99.99%+ of the people reading your comment can relate as well, including myself.

[@turorudi2131]

The goal is to make only bad ideas hahahaha😂😂😂😂

[@chriswright3179]

Antonio, nice illustration of 'knight on the rim'. The essential Na5, characteristic of the entire Ng5 variation, remained there vulnerable and ineffective while the fianchettoed black square bishop was a monster. The game was decided on the black squares f6, g7 and h6. I would say black was not kind to his pieces. He needed a plan for that knight.

[@fernandovargasmejia8512]

-I have no fears -What if Agadmator stops making rapid videos? -I have one fear

[@DarkKnightIndia]

How did you survive these days then?? Are you alive even??

[@matejtopic826]

heheh, true thatxD

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Thanks, Antonio. Your channel is so relaxing while also thought provoking.

[@stephenjames2951]

Thanks for the great Tata Steel coverage.

[@Sturmwald]

I've enjoyed your tournament coverage for years now, but these rapid games have an intensely personal touch that make them my favorite of your content

[@turtle752436]

Good game, learned some and I won the first 'scream to Agad' moment as I screamed for bishop captures on h6 Lost another two after that. I know you would not be too keen on it, but I believe most enthousiasts/amateurs lack in end game. From what I understand you are quite competent/solid in your endgames and I always look out to learn from such situations, when it's down to tablespace games and especially with just kings and pawns or maybe one other major piece left. Thank you.

[@ddkapps]

Love the "scream to Agad moment" terminology, especially since like you I did exactly that when I saw the potential bishop captures move. Getting these right in real time is far more satisfying than pause the screen moments.

[@oriion22]

Agad I have been watching your videos for years, but these videos explaining moves while playing are really helpful, please do more of this, there is a lot to learn

[@arihantjain3699]

thanks for the video... i was waiting whole day... its a drug for me. ❤ and I m happy to be addicted to it 😊

[@matejtopic826]

Drugs are good:)

[@amitraohuman]

Tata Steel was great, but I was missing this, so thanks ❤😊

[@rajkirangade]

Game and then the analysis. No better teacher than this. Thank you.

[@yourn4m3h3re]

13:53 I've been screaming Rg3 at my screen for the last minute (at least) Couldn't you heart me?

[@astroverted]

I really like these videos of yours. I think I can often times learn more from this than from Hikarus games since the skill gap is too big. With you i can learn way more

[@catac83]

This was amazing, you played really good!

[@udhayakumara4033]

What's wrong with pawn B4

[@pariscoleman3588]

11:25 I saw Bxh6 gh Rg3+ Kf8 and Rf1. And white should win here I think 🤔

[@pariscoleman3588]

Found out I was right later in the video 😂

[@shaky33]

I found the same thing! Bishop takes h6 and the queen dances 🎉Good spot!

[@jeronimopereyra6222]

Sometimes when I've been wanting to play a move for the whole game and finally I get the opportunity, I get blinded and don't see that there's a better move. I think that this is what happened to you when you missed that Bxh6. You really wanted to play Bb2 and take the long diagonal since the game started haha. Thank you Antonio, this was very interesting as always. Keep up the good work

[@BREAKocean]

This was great to watch. Cool seeing the clean analysis guy playing a little dirty :)

[@arnoudh6203]

Today I realised I got to the same rating as Agadmator. Thanks agad, ur the best teacher

[@bigahmar11]

14:41 R take F5 wasn’t the best move? I just want to know if it would be a blunder or not

[@topgunbass]

Glad to see you back.

[@h.faberrariusroot2226]

@3:18 how did black pawn capture white pawn

[@Ani-Albanian]

22:33 I KNEW IT!!!

[@Benjamin-1776-]

Awesome thanks for posting/playing

[@ronjohnson9690]

That was an interesting game. I am glad to see you back at Lichess.

[@scavara]

Can you turn more engine lines (5) when analyzing games? Nice game!

[@jaiminpatel7275]

I already commented for this before but I believe 3 lines would do.

[@chesssantosh]

One question mark is inaccuracy Two question marks are blunders✌🏻

[@BenAlternate-zf9nr]

I'm happy I actually saw Bxh6 during the game.

[@Ceeewolf]

When you passed on the Greek Gift, I thought well, I must be wrong.

[@glennstewart9907]

Very instructional! Thanks.

Hvaljena neka su nebesa, on ima puno manje vremena. Ajde da smo i to vidjeli :)

[@24Cristiandiaz]

I can´t understand why this channel stagnated at 1.31M subs?? Its mindboggling...

[@Xplora213]

KZbin algorithm is entirely responsible for channel growth. They nuke channels by shadow banning etc.

[@mystery7629]

#suggestion i have been attached to your channel since 7-8 years, i humbly request you to redo all the great games (immortals), even if you don't, i will still go back and watch them every month or week, but if its possible please do consider.

[@smoothheadape6967]

Great especially considering all the variations with the engines that are possible these days, they would be great.

[@nicbentulan]

2nd: PLEASE agad it's been 4 months! 2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner! Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. It's Hikaru's WIFE vs Wesley's GIRLFRIEND. #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

[@RiseDefiant]

Greetings from the ranks, A heartfelt note of appreciation for the treasures you share on this board! ❤ In the grand theater of chess, a new knight has captured my attention-Tunde Onakoya. His moves and strategies remain an enigma, a puzzle I am eager to solve. Could you, the guardian of this ancient game, illuminate his path and battles for me? Your wisdom in unveiling his tales would be a boon. With anticipation for your sage insights, Yours in the spirit of the game,

[@saucymew]

"Sacrificing stuff gets you places." Just like in life.

[@cygnustsp]

11:20 omg I really wanted to see a Greek gift with Antonio taking that pawn and if King captures I could totally see mate Edit 22:45 I was friggin RIGHT

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

agad is the god😮

[@wesleymcbob]

I think after Rxg7 they could have played kxg7 and after Rxf6 played Qxf6 because the rook on e2 would no longer be blocked from mating on e1 with the queen not covering it

[@insanestuff9470]

Why amazing agad match have less views 🤔

[@BREAKocean]

I saw Bxh6 but thought he can just escape fo f8 and e8. Did not even think about Rf1

[@mpop1983]

AI and engines are threating not only entire mankind but chess as well...

[@agpaok0704]

I think your rook sacrifice is more difficult to spot than the bishop sacrifice you missed.

[@KhplSenseii]

Dude you should've sacked the bishop on h6 for a checkmating attack

[@hickiwawa]

I saw the bishop sac!

[@George-sv7qx]

Love this

[@Skwertydogs]

Well done

[@Dmd_hands]

Queen back to c1 and sacrifice the bishop for f6 pawn. If he captures, take the h6 pawn with the queen, and slide rook over next move.

[@BxJerseyShorefan]

More videos like this

At last some knowledge

[@daviddurbin7682]

Nice

[@nicbentulan]

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... Kh7 2. g6+ Kxg6 3. Rg3+ Kf6 4. Nxg7 Rxg7 5. Qf4+ Ke6 6. Qh6+ Kf5 7. Rxg7 Rxg7+ 8. Qxg7 Qxb3 PS xcdhgq #suggestion #womeninchess #uschesschamps #uschess #uschesschamp #uscc

[@AliMohammadi-sp1mw]

i watch your content and Immediately Play a rapid game of chess

[@mikesummers47]

Should've considered captures on f6 when your rooks were doubled

[@100neshama]

What's this new paid membership for Agadmatir, did he announce this beforehand

[@agadmator]

Nothing really. Members of the channel get to see my videos a bit sooner than everyone else. It's a symbolic thanks for supporting the channel. But all my content is and always will be 100% free.

[@mar5567]

After Rxe2, Bxh6 looks juicy ^^ Not sure if it works but for a blitz, definitely try it Edit : later in the video I have my answer ;)

[@danielwhite2178]

Thanks

[@pannypant3759]

#suggestion Antonio Play kings gambit plz in the next game

[@wesleymills6542]

Let me say this…ahem…DOUBLE ROOK SAC!

[@christopherbrand5360]

Lower-rated player here ;)

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Welcome to the channel.

[@mistrzmateraca]

Thx 4 that

[@posekanadebla]

AT LONG LAST ❤

[@beepboop204]

[@bayanirabago5504]

He almost got you..if the king took the rook and sacrifice the queen😁

[@kenhoadley1798]

The idea of White pawn b3 and Bb2 in the game variation doesn't work if Black plays energetically. 13.O-O Bg4 14.b3 now 14...Ne4 and if then 15.Bb2 Bxf3 16.Bxf3 Qh4 17.g3 Nxg3 or worse 17.h3 Ng5. White position is terrible.

[@aryan519]

It's therapy

[@matejtopic826]

Yes, the good stuff. Vau. Rook G7 was so nice found. Agad u are not just example for 800 elo rating. U are CM, and u are playing really really well. It inspiring to listen you. You are just perfect chess guy to me. Simple, fun and clever. And a human. Chess is a game for all, not just Gm-s. I am near 2000 on rapid(lichess), and i am so far far from you. Živio:)

[@mrwhompass1986]

gg.

[@Jerome-ChristianKwasniowsk-g5p]

!!😮

[@nalgene247]

I am rated 1400. Does that make me a "lower rated player" 😂

[@Tight2008]

Hey Antonio. Just want to give you some honest feedback. I really like your content but sometimes you show so many variations that the actual game gets lost in it. Variations are good to see but I think you go too far with it sometimes. Just something to consider. The actual moves of the players is why the game gets chosen. Not the variations. But some variations are an interesting addition. Not sure what the balance point is.

[@jaiminpatel7275]

No! Variations are the fun. You get to know what the players were thinking, why they made the move or avoided the seemingly obvious ones. We should check the variations obviously and even if sometimes, he does go deep, we don't mind coz it shows the level of the players.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Good Game Antonio you are definitely way ahead of me with your calculations they all served you well in this game it was a bit of the Wei to go with that Rook sacrifice Thanks for the Game Enjoyed 😊♟️

[@NkosiLion]

is rook sack on f6 not working?

[@ubertoaster99]

Just checked. gxf6, Rxf6, Qxf6, Qxf6 and Re1 mate.
