The Unexpected Queen Trap

[@Shaswatdce]

Hey Antonio! One minor thing - The h file has got some aspect ratio issues as it has become a rectangle instead of a square perhaps because of framing issues! Great game and great Agad presentation nonetheless! :)

[@SamuelPearlman]

(Just looks like it's being clipped, not distorted, but good catch!)

[@Harry____________________]

1st rank also has this crop issue!

[@bit1979]

My OCD approves this. Also bottom layer of the frame too.

[@MrLocke420]

Poor H file :(

[@Skwertydogs]

You are correct. The board is not positioned correctly. In addition to clipping the right side of the board the letters are not visible on the bottom. I have commented a few times about this over the years.

[@michaelmatt9752]

Whenever I'm getting destroyed in chess, I always play b4, which always send my opponent's soul to the shadow realm. Thanks Antonio.

The inside running joke on the signature move of the Evans Gambit, delivered with deadpan style as usual.

[@irishman9628]

The deadpan style is always what gets me. Especially when he just casually glances over it by saying something like "In this position B4 is always the best move, but Carlsen continues with ..."

[@pranshgupta9034]

Hey Antonio, that wan't so hard move to find because that night sack comes with check and removes defender of queen, and queen is aligned to king. And as you used to say as opportunity comes and present itself so why don't grab it. I learned a lot from your videos. The most thing i love is that pause the video moment. And that b4 pawn push.

[@shahawaaz]

I'm so happy that Antonio got to play b4 as a winning move.

[@israelcampoverde8955]

I was alone in my car watching this video and I SCREAMED laughing out loud when he said "Then comes the move that always wins the game for white most of the times and that is pawn to b4."

Laughter in adjacent rooms all around he world. And people thinking what's so funny? and how do I get some of that? Well grasshopper, it's a process.

Yes! Along with this, either the narration switches to past tense or "plays" switches to "tries". "Player played move X" becomes either "X move was played" or "Player tries move X".

Hey Agad, the chessboard kinda clips on the bottom and to the right, do you mind to adjust it so they have full square.

Why on 2:24 white can't play dark square bishop to g5 and challenge the queen and may be later capture the rook?!!

That can be easily countered with the pawn e6 push

[@georgebean7654]

Before b4, there was before

[@bokyo1881]

instead of c6 why he didn't do Kb6🤷‍♂️. I think all of his pieces are still coordinated and intact against penetration, specially duda has no more bishop.

[@Life-Sky]

Kb6 makes sense, it defends the pawn and most of the pieces are defended. The small detail is: Your rook on d8 is undefended so the knight can't move. For white the move that comes to mind is d4!, attacking the center and if c6 now then Qe6 pressures c6> keeping the knight tied to the pawn, one rook protecting the knight, the other protecting the h pawn and white opens up the center for it's rooks.

[@yigalzemach9083]

Or after Kb6 c3 and the white rook enters the attack, black will not be able to hold it.

Great miniature. Guijarno’s Q move was the equivalent of the frog jumping straight into the boiling water instead of waiting for cold water to be heated up (and not notice the increasing temperature…). A brave and rather foolhardy move; a shame really cos (because) the game was developing nicely. Kudos though to Duda for the swift execution. And big thanks to Agad for the great analysis.
