What an insane move. All the variations are working perfectly in black's favor. Such a rarity and a massive bravo to Wojtaszek for finding it over the board.
Mikhail tal Once said, When your two pieces are under attack, offer the third one and Opponent can only Accept one piece.Woww somehow it is Tals legacy....Legends never die....
Absolutely a brilliant game. Brilliantly brought to life by Antonio. I will come back to this one. No of course I didn't see 50 moves deep. But I did see Q A1 and enough of the combinations to recognise that this must be the move. Would I have found it over the board? Of course not. I needed Agad to tell me that there is a brilliancy here waiting to be found. Without that I doubt that I would even have considered the move. Which is why I don't have a rating while these guys turn out amazing masterpieces
Exactly my thoughts. I found Qa1 because it seemed like a ridiculous move, but I could see a few lines in which it could work out. Even if I found this OTB, I wouldn't have played it because I would be thinking my mind was playing tricks on me. Also, as you said, I would need Agadmator to join in and tell me there's a best move of the year. You miss 1 line and you're just down a queen for rook! Lol
I saw queen to A1, but kissed Bh3 to threaten checkmate. I was fixated on rook to C1, but there were 5 other brilliant moves to find after Bh3. Great game
Wojtaszek's intuition (not to mention foresight) in seizing on the weakness of the white squares around White's King reminds me of the famous Robert Byrne-Fischer game from 1963 where Fischer's final move, Qd7, also took advatnage of white square weakness arond White's King. Brilliant move by Wojtaszek!
The level of insanity needed is not just finding the move (which I did like most people), but finding all the correct sequence of subsequent moves...now that is truly insane!!. A contender for game/move of the year and one of the greatest moves! Kudos to Agad for his explanations and his services to Chess for the masses 🤘
I'm curious: how much time did Wojtaszek spend before finding Qa1? I'd like to know if it was an eureka moment or what because it's such an incredible move!
@v4vun 13 min is incredible!!! But he probably saw that something was going on a couple of moves ahead and allowed Qd4, right. 13 min to perfect the calculation.
At the end of the year you could make a Top 2023 Agadmator Chess Prize: - movement of the year (like this one) - game of the year - more interesting player in the year (like was Dubov some time ago) - best theory improvement - etc. #suggestion
I found Queen A1 but i did not calculate the entire sequence, i just have good instinct and that seemed like a possibly good forced sequence that could lead to checkmate.
It's true it came up pretty quickly in my list of candidate moves (because I'm a maniac and make wildly unsound sacrifices because I can't help it) but I did not come near to figuring out how to make it work in all variations. I couldn't calculate far enough and for me it looked like white must have an answer somewhere.
Interesting. Still, from an impact standpoint (white can take any of 3 pieces but has to take none) this seems to me to deserve gold coins thrown on the board.
I'm very happy I was able to spot this move, but it was really difficult to spot also the continuation. It needs something to sacrifice a full rook to open the bishop
I actually found Qa1 and e5 but in the reverse move order...first e5 then Qa1...but of course didn't see as deep as a legend like Radoslaw. What a game 😮.
Qa1 is so brutal in part because it's not just about the one or two tactics. It's everything. It all works. White has no way out. It was also the only winning move for black in that position. Anything else and white is slightly better. Radoslaw found this in 13 minutes.

At 6:59 why will the queen go to capture the knight ? What if it doesn't ? I saw an escape path for the white king Edit: in the end white has a queen vs 2 rooks and a bishop for black. Losing most probably
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil women" "Siren alert" "Poison queeny" "No lady for lost bishop"
I found Qa1 reasonably fast on intuition, but the depth as to the variations certainly is beyond my calculation. That being said you’ll lose the game if you don’t try it, and I kinda have a F it mentality, perhaps could get lucky and figure out the right continuation. My initial instinct was definitely to double rooks on back rank which was wrong 😅
We should call the nove "the Tal's Heir", since his famous quote "when you have two pieces hanging, hang a third one. Your opponent will have time to capture only one of them"
What an insane move. All the variations are working perfectly in black's favor. Such a rarity and a massive bravo to Wojtaszek for finding it over the board.
I really want to know how much time he spent befor playing the move Qa1!!
13 min
Rock to b1
Did anyone find that Qa1? Without watching the game live?
What happens after Rb2 to b1? What is wrong with that move?
Wow
Lazavik :- take my bishop
Wojtaszek :- Sure will do , now will you please take my queen 😊
Tal and Nez would be proud of that move...pure inspiration....genius
Queen a1!! Absolutely brilliant. What vision. Genius move. Definitely the move of the year.

Same haha. I didn't see many of these lines and wouldn't have found it without being told but I still found it!
Knight is a tricky baastaard 😂😂😂. Agad you made my day 😊
😂
I found Qa1 but it’s so difficult to grasp just how good that move is. Like wow, incredible game
I found it only because agad mentioned a queen sac earlier. And it took me a lot longer than a few seconds.
Would I have found it over the board? No.
That was AMAZING!!! And yes, knights are tricky bastards.😅 I'm contributing to your channel for that phrase.
I saw queen to A1, but kissed Bh3 to threaten checkmate. I was fixated on rook to C1, but there were 5 other brilliant moves to find after Bh3. Great game

Wojtaszek played it like a professor. Chapeau bas!
Incredible 😊
That was truly sensational
I am proud to have found the move. More importantly I also saw the lines. My Saturday has been improved!!
It must be an amazing feeling to find a move like that over the board. I have never come close to finding a move that good,
I'm curious: how much time did Wojtaszek spend before finding Qa1? I'd like to know if it was an eureka moment or what because it's such an incredible move!

I just want to say, I really love all of ag's videos. But the ones I love the most are him playing chess. hope he does more of those soon
will do!
Same here
‘Sensational’ is indeed the perfect description for this mastery.
I found Queen A1 but i did not calculate the entire sequence, i just have good instinct and that seemed like a possibly good forced sequence that could lead to checkmate.
It's true it came up pretty quickly in my list of candidate moves (because I'm a maniac and make wildly unsound sacrifices because I can't help it) but I did not come near to figuring out how to make it work in all variations. I couldn't calculate far enough and for me it looked like white must have an answer somewhere.
i love it when agad passionately shares amazing chess games with us.
Sensational move. Move of the year for sure.
I found Qa1, I'm so proud of myself lol (Although Agad gave us a hint by mentioning a queen sac)
!!! - Immortal move
Brilliant commentary focusing on that brilliant move. Thanks
Some people just think differently
you must be a machine to calculate all possible moves😁 most likely Rado saw all these on the way
Could you please do a video on the endgame between Shirov and Abdusattorov? I think us patzers can learn a lot from that endgame!
What happens if you move rook from b2 to d2 right after the QA1 move?
Any engine rated 2300 finds this move within milliseconds (depth 6), which suggests that pretty much any strong player can find it too.
Interesting. Still, from an impact standpoint (white can take any of 3 pieces but has to take none) this seems to me to deserve gold coins thrown on the board.
12:06 rook captures g1 :D i like it
Wow!!! 😮
There are no words in cultural people dictionary to describe how spectacular this move is...
Your opponent asking "what else do you want to do?" is nightmarish.
I'm very happy I was able to spot this move, but it was really difficult to spot also the continuation. It needs something to sacrifice a full rook to open the bishop
Beautiful. I saw Qa1, but couldn't calculate past Bf1 after RxQa1. Grandmasters are on another level
Amazing game! What a study on how to deal with a sacrifice in an insane technical defense. Just shaking my head
Wow..dont mess with Radoslaw
Denis, thinking it's easy to defeat experienced GMs, probably went into shock after seeing Qa1!!
What a move!
This game always surprise us with infinite conclusions !
Definitely not clickbait, Antonio. This is truly spectacular, and your analysis is thorough and self-explanatory, as usual. Thanks a lot for this one.
Pure classic masterpiece 🎉
Man it wasnt even Qa1 that quaked my entire brain cells, it was the maddening continuation!!! ❤❤❤
Its a shame that Agad doesn’t do a whats the sorcery series. It would be a good candidate for that
I am even impressed by Lazavik who found that rook capturing the queen on a1 loses 😅
What a game 😮🔥
Nice Game love watching the ingenuity of the Grandmasters this was a Great example for sure
I actually found Qa1 and e5 but in the reverse move order...first e5 then Qa1...but of course didn't see as deep as a legend like Radoslaw. What a game 😮.

What a sequence spotted by Radaslaw... Impressive 👍
Qa1 is so brutal in part because it's not just about the one or two tactics. It's everything. It all works. White has no way out. It was also the only winning move for black in that position. Anything else and white is slightly better. Radoslaw found this in 13 minutes.
It's amazing what they can see when everything else is obviously losing.

Edit: in the end white has a queen vs 2 rooks and a bishop for black. Losing most probably
First time in the history alekhine's gun has formed For defence......
I would name this move: "For Polish kings safety, lets sacrifice queen". And indeed that is what happened in our nation history in medieval Poland.
Absolutely insane move. How?! I would never ever ever see that. Thats why I'm only 2250.
2250 is still pretty good bro
Name suggestion: The Catalan-astrophe. YW...
After the move Qa1, what follows is synonymous to a “Nuclear Winter” for white! 🤔 There’s only one thing in the aftermath, losing!
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil women"
"Siren alert"
"Poison queeny"
"No lady for lost bishop"
The ''Radoslaw'' what a sneaky slippery develish move.
The tricky bastard Knight is the hero I would say 😂...standing between black king and white Queen and preventing the check 🎉
4:08 how can he win the material back kne4 can simply defend the rook and the pawn will defend the knight. What's the point of bishop sacrifice?
I found Qa1 reasonably fast on intuition, but the depth as to the variations certainly is beyond my calculation. That being said you’ll lose the game if you don’t try it, and I kinda have a F it mentality, perhaps could get lucky and figure out the right continuation.

Managed to see QA1 but it just looked right, who is calculating all those variations...
Holy fucking crap. How can you find that without cheating?...
I saw the Queen sac but couldnt see the pawn moves hindering the king from escape.
