[@anti-antifamclovin7627]

I wish I had the amount of confidence it took for white to play this way. Morphy face was 100% earned in style

[@exbricadlo]

hahaha, atmost against Rajabov!

[@tob564]

I do have the confidence, but it never ends like it did in this game.

[@bophame]

Absolutely the best game of the year.

[@jadezee6316]

dude...its all home prep...this game will not be winning ANY awards@@bophame

[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

Is it posible Croatia beat Azerberdjan in chess ir i am dreaming❤

[@beltenebrosgr1904]

As a Greek I am proud that both Stavroula and Nikos played such beautiful games!

[@jx14aby]

"This is text-book what not to do with Black." I think Antonio is writing his own book.

[@YotamPiano]

I can't believe I found the move Long Castle ! But if you pay attention at 6:03 Agad subconsciously moves his mouse on top of the king which helped me guess the correct move :)

[@philburns5656]

It was actually not too difficult to find, because the king had to move, otherwise some pins on the e file always get annoying. But I didn't find the continuation really. Great great game from start to finish. I wonder, at which move Radjabov would deviate next time.

[@manmanman2000]

@@philburns5656 If you always look at checks and captures first, you see there are four checks and no good capture. From the checks Nf6 looks amazing but oh no, it's not protected because the e pawn is pinned -> "What about castle?"

[@tendrugimichal]

he didn't "find" any move. he was blitzing out the variation the computer found for him at home

[@tamdoduc]

He was so excited about this game that he could not control his action. Such a goosebump game.

[@thewarlordscalling6537]

U can't believe it?what else would b played in tht position.its the move that attacks the stray knight,& it also develops your rook.i bet.its an easy guess.

[@Axiomatic75]

Weird but incredible game, certainly deserves the Morphy head.

[@mecoalkid410]

I dont want the morphy head

[@jadezee6316]

dude..hate to tell you this but this game was NOT VERY INCREDIBLE...guys may look at it to avoid lines....but the truth is it is ALL home prep..and Radja simply got destroyed because he didn't know the best computer lines..and his opponent knew them all..

[@Axiomatic75]

@@jadezee6316 Let's just agree to disagree.

[@ndnd7614]

Radjabov was playing against stockfish this was all prep…

That overdeveloped really got me

[@katarmis]

Thanks Antonio for presenting this game! Νικόλα φοβερό παιχνίδι, συγχαρητήρια!!

[@quietpaper]

Απίστευτος ο Νικόλας! Πολλά Συγχαρητήρια!!!

[@elaadt]

Well deserved Morphy head! This game should be considered for the sorcery series.

[@hoola_amigos]

1. Morphy head rightly deserved. Maybe not game of the year yet as imo this falls into opening prep category - which although incredible, doesn't fall under the pure artistry category. 2. Can you please have a playlist dedicated to all the Morphy head games? Pretty please 🙈

[@kbeeps141]

[@ChainWasp]

So nice to see my fellow Greeks playing so well in this tournament!

[@gabrieldorfman492]

I've watched hundreds (maybe thousands) of your videos and I must say this is one of the best ones. Both because of the game but also how you presented it. -Lifelong Fan

[@ramachandra776]

Seems like someone played his Immortal Game . 😊

[@ChessTrapsAndTricks2003]

sure i would love it to be game of the year morphy style juicy

[@grcfalcon]

I wish my country supported chess as much as it could. But this is not the case. So congrats to our players for their achievements. They had too little help from the official state. It is their pure talent, great personal effort and an excellent coach that are responsible for their success.

[@jefftucker9225]

Does Afghanistan have a team?

[@grcfalcon]

@@jefftucker9225 I don't know.

[@plaguetree5067]

Nothing else to say but "Incredible stuff"!!

[@zelandakhniteblade5436]

10. Nd5 was previously seen in Ponkratov-Sharafiev (2013), a 17 move game that also featured the Bxh6 sacrifice. Azat played 10...d6 though, so 10...Re8 was the opening novelty. My guess is that Nikolas was well aware of Pavel's play backed up with some modern computer analysis.

[@nc2842]

Thank you for fixing the cropping on the board. It bugged me last week when one of the boards was cropped at the top too low, the black knights had to duck to get out of the barn.

[@fredflint3998]

What an unusual but incredible game. This must’ve been a painful loss for Radjabov.

[@JayJnr]

"Undeveloped, undeveloped, undeveloped, undeveloped, overdeveloped" Agadmator, 2023

[@premeksumelka]

Reminds me of a kind of reversed traxler counterattack.

[@ruthfelisia7452]

Agadmator should make some kind of chess award every year (like in the december or something). Maybe like the best queen sac, the immortal of the year, best bullet, blitz, rapid, classical game of the year. I think it would be epic #suggestion

[@sasodiarvas]

I played him when he was a kid in 2009 and lost. I am so proud of Nikolas.

[@OmasaNibLedan]

My first ever fide official game was in 2014 against Theodorou. Took me a few years to realize that was great honour.

[@user-gn8zf8ig4p]

Congratulation to theodorou!! So proud to be Greek

[@muratsahan8697]

Great great game! To find such a move with the bishop in a known line is amazing. Thanks for showing us the game.

[@konstantinoskontogiannis6771]

nice games both Nikos and Stavroula made us from Hellas proud!!thanks Antonio for the beautiful presentations!!

[@alahiri22]

Game of the decade for exposing the downside of memorizing computer-suggested opening moves

[@fancytoxicsoda]

Been a while since we have seen a morphy award. Well earned.

[@elvenbread191]

Niko has an incredible level of opening preparation in the ultra aggressive cheeky lines he plays.

[@tendrugimichal]

It's a cool game, but you're missing the most important factor (added in the title) - this was all pure prep he played from memory without thinking at all. Huge kudos for coming up with this line, but he did it at home in front of a computer

[@mohammedshoaib1774]

It really is a morhyesque game...Morphy would be proud!

[@kasparov20]

That bishop sack, was really a greek gift 😅

[@josephprznce5592]

Incredible game, thank you.

Definitely not too short for game of the year🔥

[@user-ng2vj5pb2c]

What an amazing game, congrats GM Theodorou!

[@michaelkaczmarski2938]

2 minutes? Theodorou must have prepped this line for hours at home, probably with computer assistance.

[@Volty46]

Μπράβο Νικόλα ! Εύγε ! 🎉

[@humansareweird2866]

It's NicOlas,not NIcolas (Νικόλας) and he destroyed Radjabov,that's what happened.

I love hearing about this fabled Aaa-rhone-yan's games. This is an exciting, new, young player, and I'd like to see you cover some of his games

[@saurabhmohanpat]

This is the superb game I saw, no words , it's just wow.

[@tom7]

So happy to see the Morphy head return!

[@rodhill7672]

The title says it took him two minutes. You didn't mention that in the commentary, but if that's all the time he took, it was all home preparation.

[@davidsmookler9730]

Overdeveloped. LOL. You are a natural comedian!

Simply amazing!

[@lmartins5776]

thanks for the video, excellent

[@kostasmad1431]

Both Theodorou and Tsolakidou are members of St Louis University Chess team.

[@SebinMatthew]

We need more open tournaments to see super gms and their asses kicked. When only the elite play among themselves, we forget just how strong the other chess players are as well.

[@irfanyamashita7184]

Hmm interesting, the fan of underdog

[@michaelbauman4022]

@Agadmator I think we would all love to see you do a "Best of the Year" recap at the end of each year. Some Categories could be - Men's Game of the Year, Women's Game of the Year, Best Miniature, Best Classical Game, Best Rapid Game, Best Blitz Game, Best Pause the Video Moment, Best Queen Sacrifice, Best Draw, Best Chess Computers Game

[@tlea31]

amazing stuff

[@SH-fw3mj]

Strong opponent and decent time format, I say he qualifies. Not if it would have been Blitz, but in Classical this is way impressive.

[@lemachro]

I like the terms/phrases that agadmator uses to describe the game's situations. Very clever and advanced English.

[@danielturunen7237]

Wow! That's absolutely incredible! :)

[@ronjohnson9690]

Absolutely WOW.

[@billmac993]

Very nice!

[@nikolact5577]

I was in the arena and watched big part of this game in person. At first, I was thinking that Rajabov king is queen, and for queen that is the king because they have this crazy sequence of moves with the king isolated alone..

[@alexhein9136]

This game deserves both a Morphy Head and a Barnes head! Truly wild

[@kostasmad1431]

Agadmator, Do you see how much Theodorou has grown from the last video you made of him? "D3 and black is lost". He was an IM then....

[@nicolehughes5344]

Wow! What a game!! 🎉

[@danieln6563]

This game is a great example of just how badly black is at a disadvantage vs the white pieces. The entire game its pieces were completely undeveloped and not for a lack of trying. That first move is even more crucial than the coin toss in a game of cricket.

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

A very suspect line of petrov defence. I think radjabov overestimated either the petrov or his knowledge of it

[@AjinkyaTrimukhe87]

@agadmator That smile after saying "overdeveloped" was hilarious 😂

[@pittasso]

Incredible 🎉

[@ivarkristoffersson3282]

My bad eyes thought that was a smothered mate from the thumbnail, but no, quite the opposite!

[@TheJnishad]

Make some videos for opening theory and variations

[@Panosst07]

My initial thought when I went through the first few moves of this game was that Radjabov was playing very opportunistically. His moves did not make much sense to me as the game progressed. In contrast Nikolas game was ingenious. Apparently he had prepared for this game. Was Radjabov though that predictable? Anyway, congrats to Nikolas and all the Greeks who manage to do what they do with not much support. Thank you @Agadmator for producing all that good stuff for us to watch!

[@francismarkquimba288]

Candidate for game of the year because it is so instructive for us “regular” chess players.

[@kwelduivel]

This game deserves a beauty prize!

It reminds me of ANAND vs NEPO 2020 match .

[@antonsoriano2385]

Unrelated to the game, but have you read Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue? I've seen a lot of Miyamoto Musashi on your quotes lately and I thought you might like the manga. It has gorgeous art and an insightful depiction of the master swordsman's life.

[@sabyasachibehera6871]

Nikolas absolutely deserves the Morphy Head for this brilliance. But, the Game-Of-The-Year for me was Pragg's methodical masterpiece against Maxime Lagarde in the World Cup.

[@Leandrewz0r]

What an amazing game!

[@JSheridanEntilZha]

From the thumbnail u would think Nikolas is not a chess player but a model ^^
