I've noticed that the "Info Corner" is seldom used. How about putting the time control format there? It's important to know the format... sometimes you mention it but sometimes not. And people new to the game might not know how many minutes are in rapid or blitz or classical. Thanks, Agadmater!

So fast that it reaches the critical position with one click.

[@ex0duzz]

What you talking about? Agad makes YT videos, he has to edit and render videos too. Also, he uses chess engines so having powerful computer makes sense. He's not just playing chess.. Lol. I get that it's a joke but doesn't really make sense and is also belittling chess in a way, ie like it's not good because it's so simple and isn't some resource intensive program. But like I said, engines are resource intensive, one of, if not THE MOST resource intensive programs in fact lol. You can literally never have a fast enough computer when using engines.

The sounds are good with new setup with low volume.... Really enjoying chess thank you ❤❤❤

[@stokercarnage5194]

Been watching these videos for a few months now, checked out a few of the series that the channel has along with daily videos. I used to enjoy playing chess but never really understood what i was doing in terms of strategy. I had a few friends who liked to play when we drank or were hanging out. I used to lose to one of them every game (he took incredibly long to make moves but we never used a timer). Last night i beat him in a really close game and all i could think was "captures, captures, captures"

[@lrieish]

In the past, audio would sporadically cut out/have trouble staying in sync w/ the video. Probably some sort of compression/processing issue when uploading to YT, but so far it looks the new rig has fixed this! Ty! 🙏

[@ramonbannister9498]

@14:10, why not black rook to d1 rather than the pawn move? Isn't Rd1 winning for black?

[@UnknownUser-j3n]

White will move his king. Then black will get the white rook, but the second white rook will capture the c pawn. And it will be a draw probably.

[@MultiFirefox23]

Antonio, the game you were referring to about the knight capture was game 7 of the 1971 Candidates Finals in Buenos Aires. 22. Nxd7!! if I'm not mistaken.

[@kaustubhmanipushpkunj8462]

If white does not capture the rook then he loses his own on the 8th rank black loses one pawn but still keeps the second one .....if white brings his king to capture the pawn then black can simply bring his own king and gobble up the king side pawns ....that’s pretty simple
