"The Finest Game Played Since the War" || Vidmar vs Yates || San Remo (1930)

[@ramachandra776]

Thanks Agadmator for uploading this video . This is the finest New Year gift for me .🙂

[@agadmator]

Awesome suggestion!

[@ramachandra776]

​@@agadmator thank you . 🙂

[@tttmcbride]

Although I like and need the current events, it's these games AND the history behind them that got me started on your channel. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the sagas and look forward to more.

[@HorukAI]

Exactly.. Candidates 1959 and WC 1960 were like the best TV shows, packed with cliffhangers, and twists.

[@cygan144]

Especially realizing that they contributed so much knowledge in chess that brings amazing chess games nowadays.

[@muhammadhasanfauzie1772]

I love more saga

[@stephennyariki590]

One of my best saga on this channel is the Bobby Fischer's saga,, watch this and you will really enjoy it

[@carlengosimukoko9554]

You are officially our spokes person.. well put ❤

[@BillHimmel]

Thx for saving gems from being forgotten!❤

[@strooomon]

been following your channel for 5 years. This is for sure one of the most interesting and enjoyable games that I have watched since I began. Bravo!!!

[@hamdamjonganijonov8825]

Time traveler: what year? Soldier: war times Time traveler: WWI or WWII? Soldier: 😮

[@williammorris584]

Before we had the good sense to number them.

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

If the time traveler can't figure out which war it is just by looking around, maybe he should stay out of the TARDIS.

[@logangustavson]

​@@DavidAnderson-m5cok wise guy you get sent to 1917 in rural USA then get sent to 1939 rural USA and tell me if you can deduce what world War is going on by simply looking around

[@LeonardoContreras-r1k]

​@@logangustavson I mean, you could look at the newspaper orrr.... ask the year orr..... if you know about cars and trucks, look at the truck maybe

[@xethnyrrow]

Now I have quite the game to share with my friends at the bar and library.

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Although, if this was 1930, that "bar" would be a speakeasy.

[@Brandon-a-writer]

Thanks for all your time and effort man. People most of the time come here because of you, your presentation and personality are huge factors in what makes you such a great creator. Been a subscriber since >10k, from the "make the trompowsky great again" cheers, happy new years Antonio!

[@jcsantoss]

Wow! I was thinking of suggesting to you to make a video about this game.

[@Monika77ful]

Thanks for this great content as always.

[@chalapatinagaakhil4294]

You know its gonna be fun if agadmator uploads a 30 min video

[@giovannicorno1247]

Chess never lose its freshness, a good game is a good game whenever it was played. These were talented international players, thank you Agad for presenting their masterpieces!

[@blueguitarist]

Loved all those little bits of info!

[@HusseinEyadKazim]

now we can call it Yates's saga

[@user-dt9kk6sg8z]

Amazing. Very interestingly, the pre-engine games are more impressive to me as a chess novice, because I can understand and spot the great thinking capabilities.

[@user-dt9kk6sg8z]

The computers make us become more like them, at least at the top levels.

[@d_andreev]

Vast knowledge increased yet again.

[@davisnafshun4758]

#suggestion Alekhine-Capablanca 1927 Alekhine-Bogoljubow 1922

[@histrionicvegetables]

first of all thanks agadmator for the fantastic chess videos. your English is extremely good so maybe a helpful comment here: it sounds like you say "lounged forward" when it should be "lunged forward." lounging is like lying around relaxing, lunging is a sudden movement forward 👍

[@Pop-kc6hc]

@agadmator Agad give us Vishy saga, my life is so boring around these holidays that watching these ancient history will motivate me only after 4th beer. :) it's a joke, i respect whatever u choose to post.

[@Daymjo]

7:58 thank you, i WAS interested in that.

[@davisnafshun4758]

#suggestion Alekhine saga or more Alekhine games or even just more games from this era

[@tom7]

An incredible combo!

[@Djnekro2302]

Thank you for big brain knowledge about my hometown. Sad that Carlsbad is not a world class chess powerhouse anymore.

[@jonathandasilva5749]

As a Brits it's more Due-Her-St the De-worst. Implying that pronounciation was he was referred to by the more normal spelling of that name. There was a famous chain of Butchers with the Dewhurst name notable for their tax avoidance when I grew up. "his birth name was actually Fred Dewhirst Yates. However, throughout his chess career he was known as Frederick Dewhurst Yates"

[@bhgtree]

"Analyze up until infinity, Then I'm going to go for a walk." 😂😅

[@hnalike7778]

Wow. Brilliant play. Quality chess

[@MahanBarzegaran]

This game is insane Thank You for analysing it.

[@stephennyariki590]

Absolute chess,, absolute cinema🔥👍

[@dark_magician_sdy]

Amazing !!!!❤🎉

[@danielfilipovic8543]

Looove your intro stories ❤

[@daviddurbin7682]

Astonishing game. Unbelievable

[@bhgtree]

It seems that Magnus found his Queen!!

[@guptayush179]

That's one fine game, if I've ever seen one.

[@charlesburgess933]

Great game!!

[@ДенисЮденков-ь5ж]

Very beautiful!

[@garrettmanuel2413]

Resign with a z, nice #suggestion show Vassily and Daniel’s game with a backstory of “up to this point in his life”. I guess I kinda understand the emotional outburst. Chess is heart ripping! But it was prolonged and I don’t really understand that. Imagine playing a game as the other players and a guy is crying like a baby over there. Crazy!

[@marthadunkley6758]

We love half an hour videos ❤

[@harikrishnareddygali6244]

I know it's b4 without even analysing just by seeing the smirky smile of Agadmator 🙂‍↔

[@pinkzeppelin1982]

Now, he says "Aye gyan gyan" every chance he gets... Still... much love to the, Sir, Agad... giggle

[@stephanasnancoo8799]

Very nice game, nice analysis

[@davidreid5599]

Great vid as usual Agadmator. I know you thirst for knowledge, so I think you should know Dewhirst is properly pronounced " Dyoo - hirst..." The Dew part refers to the morning's condensation on the grass.

[@rahowherox1177]

The dew means wooded (covered in trees) and hirst = hill.

[@jiggarkumar]

Gr8 job.

[@DrakoLykoi]

Wow! ❤

[@salahsoliman5752]

Proudest moment of the day is finding the key move 😂

[@mtaur4113]

Poor Vidmar is Dr. Hoodie Guy on this channel. Wouldn't mind seeing him win one soon.

[@coxscorner]

My Birthday today. Great game!!

[@duck22]

Woah. That was cool.

[@carloalbertoromano4114]

incredible!!!!!!

[@gabrielgonzalez9539]

beautiful!

[@LordFred69]

Fred is quickly becoming one of my favorite chess players. He must be Dubov's Great grandfather or ssmething

[@npraveenchandhar3289]

At 11:43, Does Black have Nxc3 in the position, winning a pawn? (Black played Rda8)

[@npraveenchandhar3289]

Nvm the rook is hanging. My stupid brain had to go into analysis board to find it

[@propagandacritic5511]

Way to go, Fred!

[@jaaacktractive]

18:08 I thought the move was ...Ne3, forking the rooks. If Qxe3 gxf5. Could someone please tell me why this is wrong?

[@771MI]

@20:10, as white, why not move the knight from d6 to f5?

[@771MI]

Sorry I meant @20:40

[@troviakro9491]

Pure pro chess channel.

[@Brian-ld6df]

All lawyers are doctors (J.D.) but none of them call themselves "doctor."

[@yasaradakshinabandara]

#suggestion We need a game of Hans, probably Hans Vs Magnus

[@alex-wt7oq]

“Suggestion Bagirov vs Gufeld 1973. Frankly it is a crime against chess that you haven’t showed it, depriving so many people of such beauty. It was labelled the “Mona Lisa” game.

[@nicbentulan]

Merry Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa and New Year agad!

[@levigroen754]

That's not Milan Vidmar, that's Michael Scott with a mustache.

[@zoranvucenovic3824]

De-whirst... Lol!^ :D I believe it is "Dew-hirst"... :) If it were "De-whirst"... It^ may be spelled like this---> "DeWhirst" Where there is a capital letter after the "De"... :)

[@billporter2731]

You mentioned Fred's middle name in the last video -- allow me to help, @agadmator. It would be pronounced "DEW-hirst," rhymes with "blue thirst." A very unusual case in English of a letter "h" following the letter "w" but forming a separate consonant (unlike "white" or "when").

[@SrikanthS-v7k]

Once You See it, It's Too Late || Tal vs Larsen || Candidates (1965) I miss Mikhail

[@John-p7i5g]

For me The War refers to the war of the roses from 1455-1487. Damn those Lancastrians!

[@davidleahy6141]

I am sure that I am wrong, but why didn't white move his knight from D6 to F5 when his Queen was threatened by the pawn, as the black pawn on G6 was pinned by the White Queen, thus forking the Black Queen and King, causing a loss of both Queens, but both of the black pawns would be on the G column?

[@jaranth]

This one hurt my tiny brain... wow, are you SURE there were no computers in 1930??

[@George-sv7qx]

My first chess books was the old masters

[@alexanderluzin7022]

min 23, why not check whith the night on e8 ?

[@oliverangermuller9827]

#Suggestion Here some tournaments of the past you should take a look at: London 1851 Hastings 1895 Nottingham 1936 Zürich 1953 3:27

[@rhwing5095]

20:53 this is why long time formats will always be the best in chess. You won't ever get this in rapid because nobody can spare the time to calculate it.

[@مهدیرمضانی-س1ل]

Every time I pause the video I find a move My move is on the board Agadmator : no it is completely lost there is no hope that's not how you play chess

[@alirezarohami6138]

Agad, we need to talk about Chucky... Chucky, the poet! in a world full of business men... I'm sure you've been struggling to find a way into this topic... Maybe we can see Chucky-Kasparov once again? I think it's about time... #suggestion

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Seems that with his sharp grasp of complex tactics, Yates was to Alekhine and Capablanca what Nakamura is to Gukesh and Carlsen -- so close, yet *not quite there.*

[@johnmallette3143]

GG

[@muhammadhasanfauzie1772]

I saw classic player from agadmator, i click

[@logangustavson]

At 20:10 why not Nf5? Its a royal fork and Black pawn cannot take becuz its pinned

[@jvd0701]

Happy new year🎉🎊🎇 to all👪👪

[@jmwjag]

Just an FYI - most lawyers are not referred to as doctors. They have a juris-doctorate (JD) but aren't referred to as, for example, Mr. Smith JD. Sometimes, they are referred to as Mr. Smith, esquire. Bottom line - lawyers are weird.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Uno #1 😊♟️‼️

[@tufol33k78]

back then, true gentlemens avoided Queen trades because they played for a win, now people agree to a draw after a couple of piece exchanges...

[@johnbarnesNnaptown]

I think you mean Dr. Shaquille O'Neil.

[@williammorris584]

IIRC it is debatable whether Alekhine actually got a law degree. There aren’t many great amateurs after the era of Dr Vidmar: Euwe was a contemporary; subsequently Reshevsky, Fine, Najdorf, Panno, Lombardy, and Hübner come to mind. Taimanov might also qualify, but I would suggest he had dual careers in chess and as a concert pianist (mostly with Bruk as a duo) due to the level of support he received from the Soviets. This is as opposed to Grigory Levenfish, who I would call a great amateur because he was entirely deprived of support despite his two Soviet Championships and his equal score with Botvinnik.

[@сырпошехонский]

He got it in 1925 in Sorbonne. His doctoral thesis was about the Chinese prison system

[@mrdevildelicious2623]

#suggestion Vidmar Vs max euwe 1929

[@saumenroy8710]

Yates is much preferred name than fred to me.

[@tadasjasinavicius2328]

Being a doctor of law and practising law is two different things. There are a lot of scientists who never practised law. That does not make their degree less respectable

[@carlosgaspar8447]

i think morphy was also a lawyer, but not very successful at that.

[@audeylord3636]

mother of all lines xD

[@loggrad9842]

His name is pronounced "do-herst". Or "do-werst". But it does start with a "do" sound. I knew someone with this name and that is how they pronounced it. I suppose other people could pronounce it differently but that was how I knew it.

[@Kingspanksalot]

🔰

[@funfactzofficial]

Do you know that Alekhine introduced the world to blindfold chess?

[@FFassassin71]

Oh it was around well before Alekhine - For instance, Philidor was well known for his blindfold feats.

[@georgevarelas3424]

apropos, Shaq also has a phd

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Great game it seems it was unfortunate for Vidmar he’s never seen an Agadmator video or he would’ve known b4 is the best move to make . Thanks for all the info that came with the game Antonio fantastic . I thought of that pause the video move !! Just wasn’t sure exactly what it achieved but sometimes the pause the video move is some outrageous move no one thinks of . Great game Thanks again Have a great day 😊♟️‼️

[@Brandon-a-writer]

I'm almost 7 feet tall, and have always been tall … and the amount of people who ask 'Ah, you play basketball?" over the course of a lifetime is … kind of odd. You don't look at short people and go, "so, you're gonna be a horse jockey?" tall people are just … people who are tall, and usually bump into a lot of hanging doorways and low ceiling fans. And everybody wants you to take their pictures when you go to a concert. kind of annoying tbh

[@ronjohnson9690]

Does anyone else who follows this channel feel as though they are listening to a chess historian? Really!

[@shivpratapbhadauria5202]

Agadmator u look like zod from man of steel

[@JoyMutasa]

The tittle should have been to B4 or not to B4

[@kimgysen10]

Best game after ww1, Hitler moustache was trendy back then it seems 😅
