Game of a future world champion. What a game!!

[@mikeroyale4842]

I agree

[@thegorn]

I am beside myself. Such beauty on the board. A masterclass at blitz speed!

[@manigopal92]

A 15 year old Grandmaster from Iran beats Hikaru Nakamura who's one of the best in Blitz. The confidence of this kid is just amazing. One of the best games in recent times. Bravo Firouzja. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻

[@weaselaow]

yea he is GM. They play like 150 games. Some of them Firouzja win, just like any other gm who play more 10 games vs Nakamura.

[@bhaveshkahaneable]

@The Liquidator eric won games vs magnus who beats NAKA

[@MHZHellGuitar]

what's funny is that for both Firouzja and Maghsoodloo , Nakamura is of their heros! (I'm from Iran and I've actually met em in person )

Even though I watch all of agad's vids with great pleasure, I almost never comment, but this game ... this one had me cleaning my jaw of the floor. That double piece + double rook sacrifice was shock after shock. And to top it all off, seeing Naka's facial expressions afterwards, that's the cherry on top. Thank you Agadmator for sharing this terribly exciting game :)

[@uanto]

It is nice but not an Anderson kind of game. Nakamura should had seen f3. Black still better but for a rapid game very playable

[@tan116A]

On a completely unrelated note - I have been feeling like shit since today morning. I got some bad news last night and also today morning. My life feels like it is in ruins. My career and my personal life are in a bad shape right now. Basically, it's just a really really bad time for me. And seeing a new agadmator video is the first thing that made me smile a little today. I don't know how he does it but this is one of the most genuine, positive and likeable people. Keep it up man. And thank you.

[@hillsideonly]

And I hope things turn around really soon for you, And that you are always happy

[@bobbyplace2525]

tan116A lets hope everythin will turn out well. I was in similar shambles a year ago... Agadmators chanel saw me through and positivity of this guy :)

[@charlied8355]

The hard times will pass into small memories! Just keep focused on the positive in your life, it’s difficult but you can do it!

[@CleavingRay]

Hang in there mate. Exactly a year ago i was in an even worse position. Lost both my job and my then 6-year girl. Now, a year later, i got an even better job and there's this sweet girl who's a gem. Things work out, you just gotta give it time.

you mean we have a new trend after "capture capture capture capture"?

[@mewzi]

Watch it in 2x

[@mstfici2685]

I wonder what does GM Wesly So think of Firouzja now, since he was the first (and only) GM to accuse him of cheating after he lost several matches to him back when Firo was still an IM. I guess his lesson is no matter who you are, the person who beats you is not necessarily cheating, they might actually be better than you !

[@mstfici2685]

With that said, although Firo is rocking in bullets and blits, he still has a long way in classic time control as the stats suggest. Nonetheless, he has a bright future.

[@andrewgoldstein6271]

MSTF ICI can you point me in the direction of where I can find those matches? Your comment aged very wel btw(referencing the tata steel tournament where Wesley beat Ali in classical time format).

Love this one. It really does feel like a relic of the golden age of chess. Romantic is the right word.

[@mahdinejad]

In Iranian names, the "J" should be pronounced as "J" (as in Justice) and it's not pronounced Y like Germanic languages. By the way, thanks for the great content.

[@muni1muni148]

Lol

[@user-zb8tq5pr4x]

English is a germanic language

[@ynsimha7663]

J is pronounced as H in many Latin based languages - the exception is French. Pretty sure Slavic - in Agad's case - Croatian, may have a similar pronunciation.

[@enlightenedwarrior7119]

I love how you looking at the screen reading Nezhmetdinov's quote actually looked like you were reading it from above the board in the video.

I still come back to this game from time to time because it's so rare to see Hikaru lose, let alone in such a beautiful fashion. Insane game by Firouzja!

I don't know if it was on purpose by agadmator but this resembles a line in the movie The Goonies: "I got it! I got it! I got it!...I don't got it."

[@duvidl58]

It's amazing that Firouzja could see all of those moves so far ahead, and in a blitz game! I guess that's what it means to be a GM.

There are a lot of games called "immortal". This one actually earns the praise.

[@0wenfox]

Amazing game Love it!!! Added to my favorite chess playlist!

[@007EnglishAcademy]

Miyamoto Mushashi 'the greatest Japanese swordsman would have made a great chess player '' In single combat, the enemy sometimes loses timing and collapses. If you let this opportunity pass, he may recover and not be so negligent thereafter. Fix your eye on the enemy's collapse, and chase him, attacking so that you do not let him recover. You must do this. The chasing attack is with a strong spirit. You must utterly cut the enemy down so that he does not recover his position even a little. You must not even allow him time for breath''. This seems reasonable to me.

[@michaeljanapin9528]

[@ItsJustJimOkay]

I always love those little pause moments to look for the move lol. I was never good a chess but I used to play quite a bit and I like trying to figure what the move is gonna be. The pawn one I def did not see coming, nor did i realize the impact it was going to have toward the end.

[@ryansmith6950]

That was a beautiful game! , and liked that pic of his face that you showed. Good work.

[@hendarinriandi1100]

Amazing !!! ....... this one must become one of the “immortal” chess game ..... For common people like me, ... I still cannot comprehend, does this beautifully knitted mating “web” scheme by Firouzja came from deep analysis right from the opening stage or some kind of “grandmaster instinct” that react flawlessly to whatever problem arises in front of them???

[@JoeeyTheeKangaroo]

Zooming in on Hikarus face is like replaying the moment when Ralph gets his heart crushed

[@houtansadeghi]

The aim of the game is to mate. Firozja sacrifices the rooks and elephant (bishop) and several soldiers (pawns) to achieve that quickly. Naka is hoping to get there eventually. However the least valuable piece on the board (the soldier in the middle of the board) is single handedly holding everything together. Naka takes the annoying soldier in disgust sacrificing his beloved prime minister (queen) hoping to create another one on the next move. But it is too little too late. With all these pieces ( the greedy attitude to take the opponent pieces ) he has nothing to show for it. Wah what a game. It’s more than a game of chess. By the way, not surprising, I missed the romantic move. I would have been too scared to play that when most of my pieces are hanging. That’s the difference between firozja and us amateurs. Thanks for the game and I hope you are getting better yourself.

[@kl8786]

Great game! thanks for your excellent commentary Antonio. Hope to see more romantic masterpieces of this young prodigy Just it's worth mentioning the Alireza's last name is pronounced FirouzJaH (with J like in John, an h in Henry)
