"You Could Simply Spit In Your Opponents Face" - Agadmator 2018 God i love this channel.

[@WannesMalfait]

Fardin Feiz liked but please edit spelling of opponent. Nice comment.😉

[@platan1to]

You Don't Need To Write Each Word With The Initial Cap... that's not correct dude. Just why man? A lot of people does that and it's actually ridiculous, I will never understand it.

[@WannesMalfait]

Joel Grammar nazis strike.😂

[@fardinfeiz629]

Joel You Don't Need To Whine About Everything, Just Enjoy The Video Man Ffs Edit: just typed everything in capital letters :)

[@platan1to]

Fardin Feiz Of course I enjoy agadmator's vids, in fact, Im here since his channel only had 7k subs. But that's another story, I just saw your Comment With The Fking Caps, and I had to point it hehe. Have a nice day man!

[@shashin6187]

where is botvinnik? *in time trouble*

[@NotElusivePanda]

“Hello everyone.” -agadmator. My favorite chess opening.

Me too

[@celestialdrummer]

That Bc7 move by Tal preventing Rc1+ was amazing!

[@patrikfloding7985]

Botvinnik being 25 years older, or twice Tal's age, I find it astonishing how good he was.

[@manu-ox4fe]

Does were the happy day for Misha , nothing could go wrong. Agadmator’s thank you for introducing the new generations to Botvinnik . He is one of the greatest. Three times world champion. He battle, from Capa to Petrosian, every great player of his times. Must times he came on top. # please give us the pleasure of showing the 1961 match even if not in deep.

[@asdfmovies831]

Agadmator thx to u, I impressed my dream girl with my knowledge of tal v Botvinnik. Thx agad!!

[@michaelvanzyl9418]

[@tomhoffs8209]

Now show her a nice picture of Ivanchuk and seal the deal ;)

[@tomhoffs8209]

heel Jadu you are probably new to this channel?

[@kaldrazadrim]

*vast knowledge

[@richardfeynman5560]

I was positively surprised by seeing yet another Tal-Botvinnik game! Thank you for showing this great game!

[@vikingkrokodill]

"They knew that he would do something, they just didn´t know what it was." and "I do hope you enjoyed it, Botvinnik definitely didn´t!" - agadmator! Love those humorous comments in between your great analysis and coverage of the games. Thank you for yet another brilliant video!

[@patriciodecoud2756]

#Suggestion One of the games of the called "Argentinian tragedy" where in the 1955 Gotemburg torunament Pilnik, Panno and Najdorf (Argentina) tried to set a trap in the Najdorf variant of the sicilian for Spassky, Geller and Keres in their respective games and went terribly wrong

[@Nick-si5qv]

This is the first time after almost 4 months of watching your videos that I've correctly guessed the winning move! Thank you for rekindling my love for chess, Antonio.

[@johngrey5806]

I found Bc7!! I feel so awesome!

[@kalyanipolei2550]

It was an awesome move, mate! Congrats!

[@johngrey5806]

I highly doubt that everyone found it. Yes, I did find the follow up.

[@johngrey5806]

I would've never found it unless I knew there is a crazy killer move. I would've never considered it in a regular game.

[@orgilgankhuyag5222]

no one would have found this move if there was an another defensive option

[@kilimanjarno]

When Botvinnik requested the time out Tal should have insisted that a doctor from Riga examine Botvinnik.

[@KojinMacJorn]

Is that a Capablanca joke?

[@martinmaguire-music6692]

@@KojinMacJorn It's a reference to what Botvinnik did when Tal wanted to postpone the rematch, because he was very ill.

[@prosperakwo7563]

Too bad this series is gonna end soon.. Loving it!!!

[@Nygge1982]

Yeah, why can't it be the year 1960 again!

[@ivica1942]

Thats why you can watch it over and over and over

"There are two types of sacrifices - good ones and mine." - Mikhail N. Tal Best quote ever!!!

[@9181shreyasbhatt]

This is amazing!!! and its is even more amazing to those who have read "Tal-Botvinnik, 1960 by Mikhail Tal" you do capture the essence.

[@electrowizard9279]

I guessed that move! After watching almost all Tal's game I couldn't believe I found it

[@EcceLuminum]

Thank you so much for this series of grate games. Very much appreciated. I hope you will find the time to continue with series like this in the future. You are the best!

[@jnerd3149]

12:24 "Spit in your opponent's face" I love it. Show that you have all the time in the world and you can simply troll them and make them suffer for another move or two.

[@jasonmitchell5148]

Best chess channel on KZbin. Hands down. I can't say it enough.

[@mamago92]

Хвала вам, господине Радићу, за велики допринос светском шаху.

[@j.a.armour2427]

I found bishop to C7 @ 10:23 but didn't find the next move queen to B5. I'm impressed by the great foresight of Tal with this idea. Great series!

[@jammasterlee]

yeah it's funny. Qb5 is almost the more brilliant move. but dude. Bc7 blew my mind.

[@gusramirez5647]

I love this channel. Keep the great work :D

[@elfaroukharb3979]

Lord Agadmator killing it today :D. 2 More games!!

“Young man, consider that the train has left, and all you can do is loudly slam the door in farewell.” ― Mikhail Tal

[@HeadHunterzFan92]

Since I've heard about Tal's hyppo story, I've been thinking that if I was his opponent, I wouldn't mind being defeated by the greatest attacker of all time. What I really would have feared would be the following press conference. I can't imagine learning that while I was giving all myself, I got crushed by someone thinking about drowning animals and such.

[@fienddube]

#suggestion next series do Kasparov-Karpov first world championship match. That’d be sweet.

[@salmarwow]

You mean all these draws and 48 games in total? Cmon, no need to torture internet.

[@GaneshKumar-bv2td]

😂

[@fienddube]

Lol omg I’m an idiot. I got the matches confused. Lol yeah that would be dumb. Glad I gave you guys a laugh

[@pathutchison9866]

Smashing, my friend. Smashing.

[@juliusuus]

8:21 Nice Rook lift over there 💪

[@kilimanjarno]

what a simply elegant game-changer move Bc7. Immortal.

[@nyashadzashehapanyengwi9505]

Hey, I'm like a beginner but I'm learning and watching these games , even if I don't understand just gives me comfort and kinda motivates me to keep going. I don't think I'll get to like that level but it's just cool man.

[@jonfeltman2314]

I am also lobbying for a comprehensive review of the 1972 World Chess Championship between Boris & Bobby, since that match basically led to the U.S. chess boom of the 70's... C'mon Tony, you know you can do an amazing synopsis of this legendary match!

[@krzaq666]

I love your series. Please don't spoil the results if possible, I avoid checking the games out before watching your videos to keep the element of surprise!

[@arrowghost]

Nice, Witchwood was released yesterday, so I hope you're having a great time with those cards.

[@zerquix18]

"You could simply spit in your opponent's face" I FUCKING LOVED THAT HAHAHA

[@jammasterlee]

Bc7.. insane!! and then Qb5..man these guys are good.

[@TimChump]

Wow great game by two true geniuses

[@maxnullifidian]

At 10:14, when the vid was paused, how would Rd3 have worked? Then if Rc1+, Rd1 blocks the check. Not as pretty as Bc7, though!

[@Lazy.y]

Thanq Antonio ~

[@hellboy92ification]

I hope you gonna do more series’s of games like Tal vs Botvinik. :)

[@immanuellasker4273]

whatching chess & laughing at the same time is something you didn't say possible before finding out this channel

[@oneviewer8206]

That hearthstone reference though... By the way, i got some powerful cards this new year as bonus (not to be confused, it's new year in hearthstone world). It really made me happy that they added another story in solo adventures.

[@barryrims9098]

I love picturing Tal spitting on Botvinnik’s face

[@punyashilshahare2152]

"Spit in the opponent's face"... Great 😂😂

[@loulasher]

It seems like once 3 points down, Botvinnik was thinking more about his right to a rematch than this match.

[@AkramSaheb]

Hey agadmator, I wanted to tell you i got inspired by tal, and i went pirating last night. Im only a 1170 player cause I am new to chess. I learned alot from your channels and Im beating 1700 rated players and maybe even above. I play positional and dangerous lol, Im still figuring out my style . But thank you bro.

[@pietrofedrizzi1316]

Hi Agad! After showing us the end of this amazing match, I would love if you could show us one of the greatest chess game ever played: it’s Bogoljubov vs Monticelli played in Sanremo in 1930. Even if you don’t want to make a video about it I would advise you to watch that game just to enjoy a magnificent piece of art! Thank you and see you soon! #suggestion

[@sarahhenderson3408]

Like and enjoy the site. However, the recent addition of visual words, block the sight of the movement of pieces in the lower board view, (esp on mobile phone). Very distracting. Keep up the good show. Thanks, from Sarah

[@CSAN33]

That Bc7 move was pretty cool!

[@816records]

Now this, is interesting chess. Love the opening.

[@antasena1219]

I love tal style rather than botvinik,he seems like the man who never afraid face a risky deal (Tal) rather than botvinik play slow and waiting for chances

[@bellopapayasoap5898]

I am an absolute Noob at chess, but I enjoy watching you, Keep up the great work

[@Shoeless45]

Wow. This is the highest level of chess. Impressive game

Jolly Good Show Olde’ Boy 🎩

[@Smith_Jnr]

Very interesting game. Thank you

[@captaintryhard4013]

That c7 move, that was pretty hard to find, indeed a great move.

[@davidcopson5800]

It was easy to find.

[@timothysiahaan8977]

That Bc7 move reminds me to Karpov's Ba7 move against Unzicker.

[@MotoMarios]

I rarely find those "2 seconds pause" moves but when I do I cheer like a little boy.

[@ericawang3385]

This is like Fischer vs Spassky when Fischer won the world champion four points in the lead

[@rodrigoalves95]

#suggestion Fischer-Spassky 1972 series - "Match of the Century".

[@PaterTenebrarum1]

What surprises me most about this is this: Since Botvinnik must have seen the position prior to Tal playing Bc7 in his mind‘s eye before arriving at it, it must have been clear to him that Tal probably „saw“ this position as well (unless he had overlooked something, which seems rather unlikely). At that point he must have asked himself what Tal‘s plan was. There had to be some sort of trap, a brilliancy that was not immediately obvious. Once you come to the conclusion that a move of this type is likely in store, it is not too difficult anymore to figure out what move it is. There are only very few candidate moves, in fact, there is only one that fulfills both inescapable requirements of stopping the rook from moving to the first rank to give check, while at the same time opening a line for the queen to attack. I cannot Imagine that Botvinnik didn’t realize this, which means he must have thought that blocking the backrank check with his own bishop was sufficient to defend against Tal‘s plan.

[@MichaelJohnson-by3vf]

Would Rd3 have worked too?

[@davidcopson5800]

I found Bc7 in five seconds. But no pressure for someone watching a video decades after the event.

[@squidly99p68]

Bc7. Wow, what a move...

[@FFassassin71]

Found it in 2 seconds! Now if only I could find the other critical moves OTB... 😂

[@SanyaJuutilainen]

Tal vs Botvinnik, here we go, almost at the end! \o/

[@ivanahanzic8287]

05:03 you say quenn is under attack,ok but pawn is not protected so white quenn can taket black pawn easy???

[@MrSeymourases]

BLESS YOU

[@draheim90]

That does seem like a weird resignation. What’s the upside? It’s almost conceding the whole match at this point.

[@karimmoorad4128]

Tal's brain was amazing

[@ryanborn7026]

oh my god i got it @10:24 !!!

[@ranjanhs3453]

Mikhail Tal was the best chess player of the world.

[@davidcopson5800]

He certainly was in 1960.

[@navkarbhasoria4468]

Really heart breaking that Mikhail botvinnik didn't continue and resign

[@sepehrjafari7847]

why not Bg5 queen is trap or i miss something? in move 18

[@Shain3333]

The bishop can be captured by the knight on f7. You would just blunder a piece I think

[@immanuellasker4273]

At least for one time I figured out the "pause the video" move. The only problem is that I didn't figured out all the possible following combination.
