@@jacksprat7525 a jealously guarded inside joke, the beans of which I will spill for you, but in reading this you are honor bound to become an excellent subscriber and give Agad's videos a like when you can, and the occasional kind or silly comment. In earlier days the mailman frequently opted to bring Agad his mail during recording. This resulted in Medo getting excited or maybe bloodthirsty, and then a minute of watching Agad's chair before he would come back and say something like, "Sorry about that, the _mailman_ decided to pay a visit." Haha, good times.

The beautiful thing about a chess game between grandmasters is how each move no matter how minute is both an elegant refutation of one devastating combination of opposing moves and then in the same move it is also a subtle invitation for your own combinations to unfold and this happens EVERY MOVE! So I really must give credit to people like Antonio who delve into the multi dimensional realm that is a classical chess match. Not only do we improve our own game from this type of analysis but you can really enjoy the art of chess by watching these videos
