#opening I don't care which opening, but it would be fun to see a "saga" on an opening - where we first see it, and what great games and players used it over time, how it maybe evolved with great game examples. This could be a different kind of saga.

"For all who wonders why Morphy has the white pieces again..." Source Geza Maróczy "According to the Tournament rules, draws did not count. White had the move in the first game, in the next game the color for each player did not change" #suggestion
I'd like to see a video on the some of the more reasonable but off-beat gambits please! Like the Benko, Albin-counter gambit or the nutty Taxler! Thanks - and thanks for all your videos!
Personal preference for offbeat openings - the sort you'd only consider in blitz/bullet. Most of the top, top openings we see a lot during your videos anyway and you're great at reiterating what each colour is trying to do with each move. But to give an example of one that sort of fits into this category, I know that Jan is or was a fan of the Old Benoni in shorter time formats.
#suggestion gambit openings would be a good idea. For example, if you choose the Evans Gambit, you can talk about how to treat it with both white and black pieces.
#suggestion I don't have a particular opening to suggest, but think it's a great idea if you could approach the opening from a "bigger picture" perspective. Many opening studies simply focus on details of all the many lines and theory moves/responses, rather than broad ideas like what each side is hoping to achieve. Starting with a more basic overview of what "defines" that opening and why someone would prefer it (tactical vs positional, how sharp, attacking vs defensive, long term ideas) will be more informative to a wider range of players, especially beginners. Then progress to specific lines and variations afterward to get more advanced. I've found that these sort of big picture ideas are often ignored and discussions dive right into the details and long theory lines, feels more like pure memorization than appreciating what makes a particular opening unique and how to approach the thought process.
#suggestion I’ve been waiting for a video of openings, maybe explaining the reason behind them and how they are used situationally, one opening Id like to see in that video would be maybe the French defense? Hopefully you see this, really looking foreword to this video!
#Suggestion : Sicilian Dragon Variation, rather it can be nicely illustrated through game # 10 between Anand and Kasparov from PCA World Championship 1995 played in WTC NY. I am not sure if this has been covered earlier, however the Dragon is such a beastly variation, surely merits consideration and your insights would help in getting sense of this variation and make for a wonderful AV treat☺
thanks, you explain these games so beautifully. Let me ask a general question, relating to a position that came up in this game. We know that early in a game with a crowded board the knight is more valuable than the bishop, but in the end game the bishop is far more valuable than the knight. Isn't it better to trade knight for bishop early, giving up the early advantage for the sake of the end game? Theoretically, it sounds advisable. I personally do the opposite, because Stockfish is so devastating to me with its knights that my priority is to take them off the board by any means necessary. I do everything possible to force a trade of all knights in the opening moves, but if I can force Stockfish to do that I'm reluctantly willing to give up my bishop to get the off the board. But between two masterful humans, isn't it better to grab a bishop for a knight any chance you can?
Your questions show how just complex chess is. It really depends on the opening and the current position. In general grandmasters like the bishop pair because they are more mobile and covers more squares compared to the knight. Of course, bishops can not protect each other as the knights can. It really depends on how active that piece is and how much potential of activity that piece has later in the game. So your question- should you trade your knight for a bishop early. I use to think this way when I was first learning chess, but chess is more complex than that. If the position goes to the end game with few pieces than theoretically yes since most end games positions favor the bishops. However, it depends on the position of course- pawn structure, how active your pieces are and so on. For me I ask my self before I trade pieces - how active is my piece? Have I squeezed all of the value of this piece that I can or can I put it on a better square? Is this piece blocking any activity of my opponents pieces.
if you start doing opening videos, I think it’s only fair for you to start with one of your favorites! the Evans gambit (obvi) or maybe the Modern Benoni? #suggestion #opening
#opening #suggestion Antonio, since you're planning to make a video on opening I would like to prefer an overview of most important and common openings in chess which can at least help your viewers to get a good start and further improve. And also you can try making more videos on how to improve the game and also maybe some things like what books to read, etc. And I would like to say your videos are just awesome and cheers my friend!
#suggestion a series about the kasparov - karpov match in 1987, you already did fischer spassky and tal botvinnik and this is at least as epic, so why not :)
Opening suggestion: Anything favoured by AlphaZero especially when defending as black. Thanks for all the great videos; you are an excellent presenter of chess games, historical and current and I certainly do enjoy the show.
opening #suggestion: some gambit lines of the scotch(i really like the double pawn or the haxo gambit), an aggresive english line or smith morra gambit/morphy gambit
#suggestion could you do a complete coverage of the endgame Queen vs Rook? I think it must be the most difficult one. Maybe share ideas and ways of thinking.
I don't where it is best to make a suggestion, but I was wondering if you could please analyse Petrosian-Spassky world chess championship match 1966 game 10 on your channel? As far as you know you haven't done so. If you have done so, excuse me. Thank you. And thanks for all your work here.
#openings I have two suggestions first whatever opening you are going to do for example if you are doing a Sicilian najdorf put a link of Gary Kasparov or mvl's game so that we can understand how to approach the middlegame and what kind of pawn structure we can expect in the end game or in the case of najdorf when a thematic exchange sacrifice works and when it backfires.second suggestion is how to punish your opponent if they are playing inaccurate moves this is where most of the players struggle.when I say punishing your opponent people go crazy when they see an inaccurate move by their opponent and they want to checkmate their oppenent immediately including myself so it backfires mostly.it would be helpfull if you cover these.
Well in the position they agreed to a draw, why not taking the pawn ? You spoke a little about it but I am not sure if there is any means to push after ? About the beginning theories, I wouldn't mind having some deeper details about Evan's gambit. I remember in some occasions you spoke about it and about a few moves after it depending of if the pawn is accepted or not. but nothing too deep about it.
#opening #suggestion Some opening related to Paulsen: He deserves more attention, as he was for many years the world's best player. see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Paulsen#Chess_opening_contributions and choose an opening
I read it back in my chess club days. It truly is a masterful work. And the poem written to Morphy on the first page (".. the name rings like a bell in the Halls of Chess..") is beautiful.
you should have a channel where you go a little in depth :) that would be amazing and you'll def get another channel with about a half million people. But whatever you decide I'm just here to enjoy the show
Wow only twenty minutes to upload and I'm in this was a pretty easy and normal game like the second one Paulsen is a good fighter no doubt what I like is the comments all are Very active I read and enjoy them thks agad sir
I would suggest the main common openings that's Ruy lopez, Queen's gambit declined, Najdorf Sicilian, The Italian game And the main Gambits especially our favorite "Evan's gambit"
hey agad i would recommend you if you want to make a fun opening video choose benko gambit as it is quite an aggressive opening with many interesting ideas and if you are trying to do technical, positional one do share your vast knowledge then please share your secret Scandinavian as you told in one of the videos you prepared it against an international master but he played d4 plz big fan
Play Magnus app have all sorts of opening tutorials, but I'm sure you can pull it off on what opening to play, what variations, traps, etc... I enjoy your videos so maybe can show what kind of openings that you love to use. And sadly even your Caro-Kann opening that led to your loss against Magnus.
Thanks for another video. #suggestion If you cover an opening, why not cover your favorite and your least favorite and tell us what you like or dislike about them.
Same over here if its Morphy I immediately press the like button but this was a normal game Morphy is very cautious wary of his opponent hand to Paulsen he is not the swashbuckling cavalier type but a quiet developer like keres may be may be I'm wrong but that's mho thks
#opening I would like to learn more about Black's response to 1. d4 I am also interested in the French defense because it seemed to give Bobby Fischer trouble, and I am interested in the Berlin because it is being used today at top levels
#opening King's Indian defence please. I am new to Chess and this opening seems perfect to me as far as the defensive part goes but I really struggle to attack with it so would be nice if you could do that.
WARNING! With April Fools Day fast approaching, I heard someone's starting a Kickstarter to raise money for Agadmator to remove his mole. Don't believe it, it's FAKE!! (The Kickstarter, not the mole.)
re: the black/white side choosing, it sounds like what happens when team captains are selecting teammates on the court / playground / field / etc. Captain 1 gets first pick Captain 2 gets next two picks Captain 1 gets next two picks Captain 2 gets next pick Captain 1 gets next pick and so on... one pick each
#opening I don't care which opening, but it would be fun to see a "saga" on an opening - where we first see it, and what great games and players used it over time, how it maybe evolved with great game examples. This could be a different kind of saga.
yes
Please add #suggestion
I know its not a sags, but you can go to playlist and choose a oppening you like and just start grinding the videos :)
This would be great; to see the pros and cons of lots of different openings would be awesome.
Nice idea!
“We have a fight” sounds like something Agadmator would say when he sees someone else open a UA-cam video with the words “hello everyone!”
If you watch idubbz's new video thats exactly his intro which was weird.
Paullox well then I guess we have a fight
Daily dose od internet uses it as well xd
I'm here for my daily dose of disgusting engine lines
You kind sir, made my day.
I heard that Kevin Spraggett has some disgusting α-zero lines bordering on scat.
That's Morphy lines
Not today! lol

Opening suggestion: Evans' Gambit of the Italian!
Hell yeah! 😍
With the main ideas and plans for White
#suggestion #opening
Is there an evans gambit not from the italian?
I personally think that Paulsen deserves a little more fame than he has. He has to be one of the strongest players in the world, in 1857.
yes he was.
He did get some recognition. The Paulsen Sicilian is after all named after him.
@@pfsloan2597 I just read that he invented the Dragon, wow.
He's lucky he had someone like Morphy to play.
If I lived in a time where I could force every opponent to lay me 8:1 time odds, I'd look pretty strong too.

"Which opening to analyze" EVANS GAMBIT OF COURSE
1:08 Morphy going for the "Modern" in 1857 he was ahead of his time
Maybe do a series on how the openings got their names.

But to give an example of one that sort of fits into this category, I know that Jan is or was a fan of the Old Benoni in shorter time formats.
If I was playing black I would have resigned . Looks like I still have a long way to go
lol me too, that 4 pawns against my two or one if captures on h4 is just instant panic attack. Immediate resign, in blitz especially 😀.
First opening video: the Evan’s gambit!

Morphy is that type of guy that would move the Pieces using his Pinky Finger and Thumb
hilarious
Morphy also seems like the guy that'd adjust his bowtie while murmuring a "hmm" sound after his opponent makes a bad move.
I can confirm this.
Morphy also seems like that type of guy that'd run his hand through his hair before making killer moves (the reason for his hairstyle btw)
He also seems like a person that'd ring his servant using a miniature bell. Morphy is the daintiest.
#suggestion I’ve been waiting for a video of openings, maybe explaining the reason behind them and how they are used situationally, one opening Id like to see in that video would be maybe the French defense? Hopefully you see this, really looking foreword to this video!
A #suggestion for opening: something less common, like the Dutch.
Thanks for the tutorial you have in mind. I'm pretty sure you will decide on the best opening to dig in.
thank you for the thumbnail episode numbers - very helpful x
I love Morphy, but this was amazing.
It humanizes Morphy a lot more.

There should be a history lesson about The Vienna Game. The opening was in fashion around a hundred years ago, but now its a rarity.

Agadmator: We have a fight!
Opening theory about king's gambit (with illustrative game maybe?) would be awesome! :)
Paulson has become one of my favorite players after watching him hold his own against Morphy.
To be fair, it was said he would spend an hour per move, if I had a 7:1 time advantage to my opponent, I'd look pretty good myself
Great game. Agadmator taking chess to next level
Thks for the Morphy's game and all your work

The Evan's Gambit is a must, imo. An alternative is the pirc defense.

#opening I would like to see the vienna game, there are some crazy variations possible!
A Queen's Gambit declined video would be amazing👌.
Playing the sicilian could be a nice vid, as we have already seen Morphy struggle with it
4:19 but what if you don't capture and play Kh8 or Kh7? (Kf8 doesnt work because of Ne6+)
Opening suggestion: London System, King's Gambit (Accepted).
Thanks for another video. #suggestion If you cover an opening, why not cover your favorite and your least favorite and tell us what you like or dislike about them.
