Normally i'm a d4 player, yesterday i watched your original Evans gambit tutorial, went to lichess and started to play 1-e4 to try and reach some enjoyable evens gambit positions, everybody kept avoiding going into the Italian game and i ended up losing 20 rating points
Black has so many responses to 1.e4 that you often don't get the opening you want. That's what makes the moment even sweeter when you're allowed to play the glorious 4.b4
may I ask your rating? Because when I tried it as a 1200-1300 rated player I always got the evans gambit. It just feels natural for this rating . That's why I stopped using it since I felt I wasn't playing chess ,just engine lines someone else prepared for me. On the one hand I haven't gain any rating the last 5-6 months on the other I have really really improved my endgame winning games out of completely drawn or losing positions.
Evan’s gambit got me a draw on someone 600 points above me in a USCF rated game. I wouldn’t have known so much about it without you! I love seeing your evan’s gambit content
I suspect that his blunder was caused by being up so heavily that he stopped concentrating. I do that myself sometimes. Recently against a human I was up a full bishop early in the game, because my opponent had tried a sacrifice that didn't provide him any benefits. I knew all I had to do was trade down into the end game, so I turned off my concentration. I blundered the bishop lead away for no good reason other than overconfidence, and ended up with equal material in the end game. I still had a winning position (as far as queening) at that point, but I made a miscalculation with my king that enabled my opponent to queen one move before me.
@@PhillpB- running down your opponents clock and winning on time in a totally lost position. Eg you have a king and bishop and your opponent has king and 2 rooks.
@@p1x3lFPS not really a king and 2 rooks are able to mate a king and bishop lol u can simply sack one rook for the bishop if u dont want to grind it out
danya has discuss this. in his video the best move for black (if you want to avoid complication) after Bxb4 follow by c3 is Be7. and immediately trade your c knight with light square bishop
Yes we love you playing games.. As in every movie there is a hero. We want him to win same here.. We have been watching you for very long time.. And we enjoy when you feature your own game
I feel like the clock is as much a part of the game as any piece on the board. If you flag your opponent, you win. Period. There's no such thing as an "honorable" or "dishonorable" win. Be proud.
I don't know, because I see Antonio's point. I remember a game I had a couple months ago, with a string of blunders on my end. I wound up with no pieces, my opponent with a queen, a rook, and up several pawns, too. I won by flagging. I used his pawns as shields and held out just long enough. I think I had two seconds left when my opponent's time ran out. I felt a little dirty having done so. He was the better player, by far. I can't feel proud "beating" him. He was one move, two max, from checkmating me. I didn't want to give up, but I was whipped, fair and square. Why was he the one to lose points?
@@amyskane9684 i think its more of something being satisfying and dissatisfying sort of thing some people dont find wins they get by flagging to be satisfying some just dont see the dif i personally dont because both players are given the same time so its only fair if he used more time he face the consequences but well as in agads case he does think theres a difference therefore the win he got is less satisfying
Agadmator, have you checked out the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit? d4 d5, e4 de, Nc3 Nf6 f3. It does for d4 what the Evan's Gambit does for e4, and is easier to transpose into.
The Evans Gambit has been played by some of the very strongest grandmasters (including Kasparov). By contrast, the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is strictly for amateurs -- and mostly eccentrics at that. You'll have difficulty finding ANY game using this gambit by a grandmaster. Sure, you can win games with it against average club-level opponents, since average amateurs don't defend well. But against such opposition you can win games using almost any opening :)
I’ve been playing the Evans gambit every chance I get as my main Italian line when the opponent doesn’t Berlin it (at 1400 elo the Berlin is not very drawish) and I found it surprisingly simple to understand where your attacking chances are. Opponent rarely wants to queenside and the Ba6 move is really dirty combined with the a strong center. I’ve won 15/19 games as an accepted Evans and 11/12 declined (b4, Bb6. -> a4, a6) which is such a forcing line with natural moves that I’m just crushing the midgames and it feels like freelo. I’ve been studying the bishop retreats mentioned and rapidly expanding on the kingside in declined games as the bishops slice the large diagonals if you can get the Ba6 move in. It is surprising how many fall for the cheesy stuff too since you’re sacking so many pawns and they try to keep it all together instead of giving stuff back to survive the attacks
The friends at the bar and the library don't mind a dirty flag after a nice Evans gambit - it was also in the position ;) ...after all the opponent could have had the decency to resign after accepting the Evans :D
Good game. Your apponent's rating was about 2400, and you could have beaten him quite easily, if not for the blundering the rook. So what is your rating?
I think he's around 2200 +/-100, based on what I've seen of his livestreams etc. Probably also depends on time format, but I know he likes 3+1 or faster if he's playing before a live tournament
I got some intel from bar555 saying that he was in big trouble and he had to employ his dirtiest and scariest weapon: An Agadmator voodoo doll which he used to make you move your Queen to b4.
I didn’t know what flagging meant. Yes, it’s better to win than to have your opponent run out of time, but that’s the nature of timed chess, hey? Dirty flagger, funny! 😝
Found out what Dirty flagging is. Please let the opponent win if they played well instead of flagging on time. That is not very gentlemanly. I am glad you owned up and kudos for that
If you have more time it means you moved faster, meaning your opponent took more time thinking, which is why they gained an advantage. A wins a win. Try classical time format.
ah yes the Evan's Gambit explained by the one and only Agadmator
Yah so surprising 😂
"And it was in this position, after blundering the Evan's Gambit, that I became a dirty flagger". LOL!
Love seeing your games, please post more.
Well, the opponent did a dirty trick with an INVISIBLE KNIGHT! I think it's fair to flag then.
did he actually say that? i ask because it’s in quotes but i didn’t hear it.
@@ybab-j LOL no. But on his channel here we often like to make funny phrases in his style about things he said/did in the video.
What does "flag" your opponent mean?
@@embisonjones4996 win by way of your opponent running out of time.

So amazing to see the creator of the Evan's Gambit explaining it.
Yes: he looks pretty good for a 230-year-old man, don't you think?
Excellent explanation. More importantly your humility & frank acceptance. Thanks, Dr Bhat
Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints! ❤️

It was on this day my e4 gameplay got more vast. I love watching you post your gameplay agad!! Big fan of your style 😎
I'm a strong 1380+ player and enjoy playing gambits that don't even exist in database.
Have you try bongcloud Gambit ?
Why no hoodie today Agadmator?
Thanks for sharing, that is caring!
Always love seeing the greatest opening in chess history!
When I see new agadmator video I click. Don’t care who plays, don’t care what position is shown. me watch agadmator
wholesome game, Evan's gambit, nice pause to win the game moment and even some nasty discoveries.
The tutorial enlightens me a lot. Thank you for the guide. ❤️
Love it! More videos with games that feature moves that are characteristic to certain openings please 🙂
Your the best.. thank You very much for your video's..
We need more Agadmator's games
12:28 - felt that inner gigil for his disappointment.
Your humbleness is respectable. Whats Dirty Flagging? What is your Elo rating?
Love your videos!
Where is the hoodie
A modest and instructive analysis. Thank you!
Wow very informative content
Agadmator please make couple of educational videos on this series of videos based on your experience of reviewing games
beautiful and sharp attack in the spirit of Morphy....
What does he mean by dirty flagging my opponent? I was curious from the beginning :D
Hope to see more Evan's Gambit from you.
Now that’s what I call domination. Wow. Thanks for sharing.

In the words of Ben Finegold, "If you don't want to get flagged, play faster".
Win the game for meee.
The only move which I hate facing is Na5 forking my queen and bishop

I was wondering the same thing.
Making quick moves so that opponent run out of time.

9:15 Why can't the king take the rook?

this is awesome! more of this!
I wish he woulda showed the ending, I don’t know what flagging or whatever tactics he said he won by are. I’m curious.

I don't really understand why he would even think it was dishonorable. Why would it be Antonio's fault if his opponent ran out of time...?

Bravo. Grandmaster Alligatormator.

ha so bad for the knight covering E7 !

If queen captures knight on e5 ,you simply play rook to e1 and game is over because pawn is protecting e1.
Don't forget about the Knight.🤘
