Great game Antonio, when the horse was blundered you can bet your butt we were all looking forward to see how you were gonna manage the rest of the game, that was a LOT of fun bud, I as well really enjoy these LiChess videos youve started doing as along with the other recaps you do obviously, keep it up man! I really truly learn a lot from you, beyond appreciative

[@mulengachimbola87]

Me: No you can't capture with the knight! Agad: We're not gonna capture with the knight (chuckles) 😂😂😂

[@catac83]

12:51 qB7 capturing his bishop here puts you back in the game with a 1m30s advantage and the bishop pair but with 1 less pawn

[@Patrizsche]

Qxb7 Qxf4+

[@EricJohnson-ls1rh]

at 7:28, if he had played ...Rxe3, you pre-moved recapture with Queen. Why not with pawn to straighten out your pawns?

[@slidenaway]

I wondered the same...

[@sbr895]

And in this position (blundering a piece) we have a completely new game 😂

[@saryjou2793]

A couple of days ago, I was completely winning against an opponent 500 points higher than me, but he kept playing until I flagged.

It's really wonderful watching you think. And your humour when losing is a masterclass in dignity under fire!

It was in this position… I enjoyed a nice cup of tea while I watched this video. But ok

[@dan7291able]

I think most of us have a similar routine lmao, make a coffee/tea, sit down on your favorite chair, and watch a good 30 min video on your fav chess analyzer having a good ol fun game with his out of nowhere nemesis lol

please help isn't the bishop on b7 free at 15:23?

[@temps845]

It's really nice seeing you play and explain your thought process. Many of us are lower rated than you so this is highly entertaining and educational. Besides, your play style is very fun to watch

[@StephenBrennanGuitar]

can't reconcile his incredible opening and composure with inability to finish that game - there were a few forced checkmates there

[@cutl00senc]

Your opponent didn’t have that killer instinct…he just didn’t want to lose

[@black350Z]

It's good to know that excellent players can blunder like me. Granted, I do it way more often. But still....

[@choco1101]

5:49 Could you not try RxR+? If QxR, just BxN, and if RxR then BxN attacks the queen, black plays QxB then NxB, BxQ, and it's still equal trade, and if RxR+ RxR BxN BxN BxQ BxQ we even have BxR at the end.

[@TheRealRussell]

I don't know, I could be wrong since there were games in the database with the way you played it, but it seems weird that you played it because of Fischer and then played in a way Fischer wouldn't have played. Fischer went for the kingside attack in the KIA. He played e5 usually rather soon and often times the dark squared bishop came to f4. He'd play h4 and h5, bring the knights to the kingside. c3 was an idea. I don't know, you didn't really play the KIA in the spirit of Fischer, at least from what I understand. Granted, you're a bit stronger than me it seems, I'm only 2050-2100 Lichess Rapid, so idk, maybe I'm just wrong, but it really seems like the pawn is supposed to be on e5. The pawn on e5 restricts a lot of black's ideas, somewhat walls off the black pieces from helping defend in some kingside attack situations, but again, what do I know?

[@xethnyrrow]

And it was in this position, being dead lost, that agadmator pulls out a draw, and Magnus Carlsen would be proud.

[@EricJohnson-ls1rh]

3:00 stasm played ...a5. Wants to make darn sure you can't play b4!

[@jacksonlynch2919]

Why not take the rook with the pawn on d3 instead of recapturing with the queen? I feel like that solved a lot of your issues.

[@aka620]

#suggestion hans vs vidit

[@ericeaton2386]

For the blundered knight, why couldn’t you just recapture with the bishop?

[@Dm-ih8hl]

What was wrong with Bxe5 at 5:10 ? Looks like some clean exchanges to me. Like Bxe5 - Bxc4 - Qxc4 - Qxe5

[@BenAlternate-zf9nr]

If Bxe5, first Qxe5, then if Nxe5, Bxe2 and White is still down a piece.

[@Dm-ih8hl]

@@BenAlternate-zf9nr lol true i forgot one knight ^^

[@Dm-ih8hl]

@@BenAlternate-zf9nr would have been better to retreat the knight on e1 to place a pawn on f4 and than come back with the knight on d3 to avoid black bishop pin.

[@sassano.10]

After you played Ne5 and he takes with the knight, what happens if you just take with the bishop?

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Wow your opponent had three pieces the Light squared Bishop the knight and Queen it did seem like he had enough pieces at one point to get a mating sequence together instead he choked Blundering a piece funny he went for the perpetual after all no fight left him in at the rate things were going you’d probably have gone on to Win Not the best game from you Agadmator Hope to see more Chess from you and getting back to your winning ways

wow... @11:00 I thought "why didn't he play Qc3 to trade queens? Threatens Qg3+ and his knight jumping forward. Then I saw Bxe4!! eliminating the defender of the black queen on c3, whilst also being able to recapture blacks queen on d3 with the bishop after a queen trade takes place, winning your piece back x.x this is how I lose my advantages lol

[@zakrs130]

on a side note, when you calculated qd8 @13.30, after bf8 blocking, and qxd2, nxd2, you can play bxb7 winning a piece back too (you missed this final move), which means bf8 blocking just isn't a move in that position
