The Impossible Evans Gambit!

[@fahadzayyad4419]

My life has never been the same since I found the evans gambit

[@kaldrazadrim]

I play the Evans every chance I get in honor of Antonio

[@mcronrn]

Me too! However, I play the King’s Gambit, so I rarely have the opportunity 🤣

[@ildocco]

me too!

[@avinaashashastry3910]

Amen.

[@ade0573]

Dead right! 👍

[@zainquadri1206]

@kaldrazadrim It only counts if you play it wearing a hoodie...

[@joshuamphande2272]

Love the daily games! Keep em coming❤❤

[@mariogrivicic4932]

3. ...h6 is some kind of Anti-Fried Liver Attack line. I see it quite often. It is not a huge mistake, but yes, we can say it is sub-optimal move. White should respond with 4. d4, attacking the center immediately and preparing dark square bishop development. Black shoud not go for exchange variation 4. ...exd4 5. Nxd4 Nxd4 6. Qxd4 Ne7 because it gets him behind in development and white with a comfortable position, but most of them do that to avoid getting doubled pawns on c-file. I won a lot of games with this variation. Also, after 6. Qxd4, naturally looking 6. ...c5 (kicking the queen) is a terrible mistake, allowing 7. Qd5 Qf6 8. O-O Ne7 9. Qxc5 and white is in superior position. Instead, black should play 5. ...Nf6 6. Nc3 Bb4 7. Nxc6 bxc6 8. O-O O-O and yes, white is slightly better but position for black is playable, with chances for both sides. This lines are tested with Stockfish 16, and white needs to play very sharp and precise to achive a victory.

[@ericj1664]

I love seeing you play games for us.

[@ForumArcade]

I like Agadmator's Minecraft villager noises he makes while playing live games.

[@ihcfn]

More of this please, would happily watch a stream also.

[@beforeforever12]

I love the daily videos. I recently came back to playing and was very excited to see you playing. Definitely keep this kinda stuff coming!

[@i.g.l.z.9215]

Fun to watch, thank you. Lovely to watch your bright attitude and curiosity even in a tough position, that I'll take with me as a good reminder!

[@LETS_ROCK_17]

Love seeing you play these games and watch you slowly work through the positions

[@mikolajsetkowski6645]

It hasn't got name yet, but from now it should be "Agads Gambit"😆

[@phantasys]

6:46 I'm sure you guys think something, just you can't tell me as I haven't uploaded this yet 😅

[@pipilenght5285]

Watching you play is always fun

[@judemorales4U]

Yeah, keep uploading your rapid games!!❤

[@maxmustermann5590]

Yo by the way, I'd totally watch you play 50 bullet games. Not Everything needs to be instructive, we play games to have fun

[@DuyTran-xo5vu]

Really nice attacking game from agad. Trading the knight for an open g-file and attacking with the bishop pairs was super interesting!

[@CorneliuZeleaCodreanu9]

Defo taking the open g file into account next time

[@KancerKowboy]

Your opponent showed some good defensive resilience

[@CAL6double0]

15:21 😂😂😂😂 “we ok……….are we ok?” 😂😂😂😂😂funny ash

[@felipemp93]

The grandmaster was Vladimir Raicevic, from Serbia.

[@Arias-lz1ln]

This really is my favorite series on yt right now

[@chriscarskaddan64]

Love watching you play chess!

[@fennofir7791]

antonio, did you say in a previous video that you were participating in the Croatian chess league? do you know Stefan (Hanging Pawns)--have you faced him OTB? I watch both of your videos quite heavily and it would be interesting to see you fight it out considering I think that you both have opposing styles

[@headlessmonk]

Gracious & respectful.

[@yaakovsteinberg4128]

nice game agad. I'm way less rated than you, but at minute 14:04, after night C5 to d3, you should have defended with bishop e5 to d4. it essentially protects your pawn and sets a little nasty trap if black wishes to capture you. in addition, if black is careless and moves the night to f4 to cut the rook connection off, you can go bishop c5 check, top rook check followed by bottom rook check to win a rook. (so of course black will ignore you, and likely play pawn c7 to c5. this will cause your bishop to retreat to e3). thats still good, because you would have excellent pressure on his position. what do you think?

[@vlnow]

Need more of these live games

[@jerryleto]

Are these livestreamed? I'd love to see these played live.

[@topgunbass]

Im enjoying your games. I'd like to see more games. Thanks.

[@mandotherapper2586]

I think rh8+ at 14:45 just wins material, either both rooks for the rook, or rook and knight foe the rook

[@tectract]

I like watching Agadmator playing instead of just analysing all the time!

[@frankkubrick865]

loving the solo games!!

[@alexanderimmortal4354]

Hell yeah keep doing it bro

[@fudgez1]

Please can u show the eval bar/ analysis window, when u review after the game?

[@khalidcloud4342]

He played the anti-fried liver attack. That's what's H6 is called which is funny since at 2200, you don't encounter much fried liver attacks, and the attack itself isn't that great for white if black knows the proper way to deal with it, and it's an easy line tbh... H6 is just sub-optimal.

[@Chessdegens]

Love the new rapid games

[@ahmedabbas8037]

Wild stuff keep up💜

[@-leftthought-soldusunce-oq8ny]

I enjoy your games as they feel more human.

[@machineFa8]

Nice one, keep them coming

[@Ktaylor71854]

I love these new videos!

[@ronsonthongam1447]

You are so humble even if you are the famous best chess or no 1 youtuber in the world in the future you will be so so famous

[@Sevenigma777]

I know those side moves like his pawn to g6 gets so much hate but I always find them super annoying and they can really change how openings are played by both players. The Ruy Lopez is stopped, you eliminate outpost for your opponents's knight and you also provide protection for a bishop or knight push yourself. I know it loses tempo but I will always play it if my opponent plays any slow moves.

[@wayneacuff7936]

Cheers from Dallas.

[@natureatitsbestplace]

#Let's name it : "Agadmator's Push"...❤❤❤❤

[@KancerKowboy]

Love these videos.

[@jogzyg2036]

Imagine you are just chilling on Lichess and you end up playing against the man himself

[@BakedChessExpert]

thanks for sharing. love it. good form. hang in there. peace

[@ahrrydepp493]

More videos of you playin please, this was awesome

[@BobBob-yf3zo]

Respect for uploading a loss 👍

[@sortehuse]

The opening has a name now - it's called the Agadmaor's Gambit 🙂

[@RobDurham]

I blundered 3 times watching this.

[@5153flash]

Can you tell us how the replay checks work? How do you know what move is bad /good? and whose is ahead??

[@sleepycritical6950]

From his perspective there's an eval bar. But basically he tried a risky mating tactic which didn't work. Rg1 resulted in that loss so a blunder, but he should have moved Rh7 with the idea of then executing the same mating tactic, Bf6 and Rh8# because now the advanced rook cannot be threatened by the king after the knight does his checks like before. So to save the game black needs to move the king out of the net with e7 as he said in the vid, defending f6 square from the white bishop and the game continues most likely to a draw.

[@vivekmohan7785]

Please do a orginal evens gambit game !

[@toumal2615]

Best series everr

[@JZ_Strings]

I like this format

[@mycommentpwnz]

Stockfish/Evaluation-Bar hates the Evans gambit. You really weren't losing until you traded-off the white bishop

[@Prismyyy]

I saw Evan's Gambit, I instantly click ✨

[@avinaashashastry3910]

Was it Karpov? 😮

[@tonybernard4444]

Fun game, maybe a little too ambitious, but that's just more fun. Too bad about the mouse slip at the end; I like seeing it play out to the end.

[@heavenyeahh1196]

That mouse slip mist haunt you hahaha.

[@abhirammsd3728]

Petition to change the title: When I allowed my opponent to capture three pawns.

[@SpectrePlayer]

Bro loves Evan's Gambit

[@Beerfish777]

"Knights are tricky bastards."

[@robbiepreble5974]

I just played this h6 variation but my opponent played be7. He wanted none of my tactics

[@gotellyourmomkid6033]

in rapids when im white ill go Queens Gambit or Decline, if my opponent castles, ill go auto h4. Win or lose its a fun game to me haha

[@TheMarksT]

Powerful opponent!

[@toddbowles8201]

Thank you. I like the games.

[@nurislamshimul5402]

Excellent

[@kats7930]

I truly enjoy your play and commentary. You are so smart. I learn a lot from you :)

[@Hyperiondk]

And now is a completely new game 🤪

[@toumal2615]

Can you make it more than one game???

[@bmac8322]

I noticed as black, that you play d5 vs 1e4 - if you love the evans gambit, why are you not going for the evans gambit as black?

[@SmilingIbis]

What to do in the Italian after 3....h6? d4 and then c3 and channel the ghost of Paul Morphy!

[@danielwhite2178]

Thank you

[@conquerersyt8928]

Agadmator with Evans gambit is like Bread with butter.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Your opponent was definitely a good player Agadmator you had some nice attacks though his knight was a strong piece and being down pawns didn’t help kind of game you have to learn from and come back stronger which I’m sure you will Enjoy your Day Thanks for the Game

[@ribhu2001]

Waiting for "and for those of you who just want to enjoy the show" move from you 😅

[@今晚打胖虎-z9c]

17:45 LOL

[@shahidfarooq8568]

Evans gambit supremacy

[@Daxdax006]

I don’t get why h6 is a waste. I play that every time. Else they push the knight and then you have an attack on your king?! What am I missing.

[@hardatk27]

It's the Lyc00 opening.

[@oraz.]

Well played by op

[@pozzowon]

Congratulations on beating Vladimir Raicevic

[@Biskawow]

Agadmators gambit - 0 % winratr

[@soumyajitroy5239]

Finally the opening we all had been waiting for. Evan Gambit is something which can't be described in words, it can only be described by b4.

[@sachacek]

Impossible Evans Gambit? Garry The K was making those possible!!

[@manzaralam387]

You play this game the same as me😂😂😂😂

[@sanju76242]

Iam today to first like and first to comment...so congratulations to me..now start the game

[@1stMikeFilmz]

h6 is the anti-fried liver. And it must be punished severely! I didn’t think they would be playing this at the higher levels. I crush black every chance I get when they play h6

[@barryfisher4734]

how about #Lasker v Schlecter Game 10 of World Championship.

[@aini9027]

What a way to live

[@davidgriffiths7696]

That was a mouse blunder?

[@qqw743]

i like watching you play but would like a bit more analysis post game. Just a little bit. There are some questionable moves by each player in every game. It would be instructive to look at those lines. thanks for everything.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Always going to be questionable moves sometimes to make progress have to take chances but I get what you’re saying I think in the game shown things went wrong but there might’ve been better moves to make the attack more effective

[@jeremywilliams5107]

"Blunder in a losing position" (C) TM

[@kellamyoshikage286]

9:35 It never fails to surprise me how easy it is to just not see things in chess. You have this nice strong bishop pair, but in calculating lines you forget they're there.

[@PredragCrnkovic]

White could've allowed ...Nxf2+::: Bxc7 Nxf2+, Kg2 Kxg7, Kxf2

[@barryfisher4734]

Matt I think LR was using the Royal we. Also, the O line was not blocking the run game well, especially 2nd half. CU had it fairly stuffed in 2nd half.

[@Anonymous-sj2yv]

Sorry it's a question mark, it looks 7 last ones place, i thought 22017

[@uraymeiviar]

i will give one sec for you to pause the video, see if u can find winning move for agad... okay congratulations for those who found the winning move!... its...e5.. pushing the pawn...

[@ronjohnson9690]

Yow, negative 42 points in rating. Compared to his plus 22 points it sounds like a decisive game for him. Too bad he had to win!

[@douglasdarling7606]

20 gets you out of provisional

[@matthewcurran9632]

Rook blunder notwithstanding, knights are indeed tricky basterdz
