whoever says you are over explaining is wrong I'm sorry. Best chess recap channel out there partly because you explain the lines. Please don't stop. huge fan and you have a winning formula
@@RealJB003 I wouldn't say top quality BUT I am not top player so I enjoy this mid tier analysis that doesn't assume you know and see everything and you are given a really nice general analysis without going into too much detail but also not too brief to be just vaguely commenting on whats happening while doing moves (AKA the final minute of the video)
Was about to make a comment saying essentially the same. Never change Agad and don't listen to the small number of ppl who seem to just enjoy complaining.
Yeah, I don't understand it either. If I just wanted to see the moves I could find that in a 1000 places. I'm here for the analysis of different lines.
When d5 was played, seeing all of the commentators get confused and completely blindsided by Ding's calculations was one of the most satisfying payoffs I've ever seen. It felt like Ding channelled his inner Bobby Fischer by confusing everyone with what seemed like an innocuous and counter-intuitive move having considered other seemingly better lines just so that two turns later they all realized the net that was being thrown. Amazing game
d5 was still usefull move even without that combination, as ding could blockade nepo pawn with forcing line to change queens and keep pressuring king with knight and rook. I havent notices ding brilliancy, but saw in d5 way to effectively continue game and bring that pawn to promotion.
ua-cam.com/users/liveYQ24pBnehak?feature=share&t=15907 Here's the video at 4:25:07 (ish) is when Giri and Howell are still like "??? I can't really see what the threa- Ohhhh!"
Shame on those who don’t want you explaining each move. Your story telling is why I tune in, as well as the excellent chess analysis. Keep up the great work
I don't think its not wanting the moves to be explained. Agad has on occasion completely derailed the video for up to 40% of the duration by showing some obscure engine nonsense that nothing short of Two 2900 ELO players blindfolded and drunk/drugged to insanity could play purposefully. Its fun every once in a while...like explaining how Fabi could win some weird bishop endgame from a video a while back... but it can really distract from the actual game at hand. Still, love it sometimes and definitely don't want Agadmator to stop
Ding preparing an exquisite mating net by pushing d5 and calculating the entire line all the way to the end was INSANE. Nepo was shocked but it was too late when he realized it. Ding = King
@@drjoyrajghosh2271 yeah i would like to agree too he throws way too many games because of his fast moves but who cares about fast moves when u literally lose the game bcos of it
@Shame not really, he puts pressure on his opponent by doing this. Ding just managed his time greatly. He had to make 11 moves in 25 minutes, which is the result of nepo pressure
Isn't it all about winning? But yeah from our pov as fans it is too boring. I don't know if you guys also watch FPS games but in CSGO Astralis also killed the game for a very long time for being too good of a team.
@@SebinMatthew-tn7pp Even though it is fair to say that Nepo collapsed in 2021, those first drawish matches were boring too. As Agad said, it is better to wait whites to take the initiative in the London and Nepo broke that rule today, which generated all the Ding genius advancements. The "problem" with Magnus was that he rarely conceives such inaccuracies.
Pawn to d5 is the move heard around the world. Absolutely spectacular game by Ding. Perfection. And there's no way you "over explain", Agadmator, that's utter nonsense. Your videos are the perfect blend of moves with interesting lines and illuminating explanations. Don't change a thing and thank you for all your hard work.
Agad, please continue with your analysis. I have been playing chess for sixty years and it is the right amount of commentary to enable me to see much that wasn't obvious without losing the thread of the game. The two challengers are great players. You are a great demonstrator of their ideas. Chris
The last time a World Championship chess match had 4 decisive games by game 6 was in 1995, during the PCA World Chess Championship match between Garry Kasparov and Viswanathan Anand. The first six games of that match saw four wins and two draws, with Kasparov winning games 1, 3, and 6, and Anand winning game 5. 1995 wasn’t 40 years ago but math is hard.
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 thanks a lot for the clarification, I actually just threw a random number, as in "we haven't seen something like this in a long time". I guess I'll just edit my comment now lol.
If you have 1.29 million subs on your channel you need to be that person who seems like they know what's going on and is passionate about something so people will keep watching your videos. This dude can't even play chess he just found a topic to make bank on.
@rhino xeros .... He has always been this passionate about chess. He is not money hungry, he doesn't clickbait or do the whole chess youtuber nonsense. He is not as strong a player as Hikaru or Levy, but he's still about 2000 ELO, better than most people will ever be. Most sports commentators couldn't compete professionally in whatever sport they speak about, why is chess any different? I have watched his videos from when he had 50 thousand subs, and he was always this passionate about the game.
I kind think it could have been unnecessary as he could have used the knight on the back rank to check the king, and then rotated the queen around the black pawn.
@@travislizer9581 That queen around the pawn was not working. Anish Giri and Howell tried it live. After the knight check, there was one tempo missing. The White queen could never leave the black diagonale (like the queen go around the pawn as you suggest) because black will create a perpetual check. That's why the queen had to stay there first. The solution the master on TV saw (and the engine) was rook to B7, forcing an exchange of rook, the only defender of the black king. So when Ding played pawn D5 they could not understand it. But it was in fact the other solution sacrificing the queen while the directed knight now prevent the perpetual check.
Not hard to see if you have the idea of just go for the mate, but if you're playing as the opponent (Ian), then yeah it's really a tricky move to calculate!! It's a beautiful game nonetheless!!
In the position at 21:50, i feel like there is another line you should show. If black takes the knight on g6 with the bishop, the idea is hxg6, and after Kh8, you sac the queen by taking the rook on g8, after Kxg8, Ra8 is actually checkmate, since the pawn covers the escape squares.
Hey Agadmator, the charm of this channel is your insight into the moves, the possible lines and the pause the video moments - if anyone complains about seeing the game only, they can download the move order and go through it on their own - keep up the great work my man 😀
Game 6 of the WCC always known for delivering a masterpiece, and boy did this just do that, really interesting game, really pumped to see who's gonna win it all... Chess to the world
Watching your content for over 4 years now... Feel free to tell as many lines, as many explanations, as many 'what ifs' you feel... Cause many of us learn a lot from your videos. Thank you.
You aren't over explaining!! I love these recaps because you go deep in the lines and you really get to understand the game! Great videos as always hehe
lmao @ the move-by-move recap - great summary antonio, this game was one for the ages; we really got lucky this year! id have hated to see a boring match, it wouldve been awful for chess, no matter how much some people dislike FIDE - i want the WCh to be the best match of the year... and it might actually be that today!
The line at 9:50 is why I love this channel. I'm glad you look at the lines not taken because some of those rabbit holes are deeper than the main line and much more interesting.
No one saw the check coming. Anish did not see it. David did not see it. Magnus from the bar did not see it. I did not see it. Ding and Stockfish 4.2 only knew the check mate pattern. Kudos to Ding..
What an unbelievably beautiful finishing sequence, just spectacular stuff. I'm so glad that Ding found his groove after the first loss. This is just such beautiful chess.
Watching the game, I was hoping Nep would allow the checkmate! Queen sacrifice and checkmate. That d5 move was so underrated that watching the engine and Anish try to figure it out, it was wholesome 😊
You do such an incredible job with your commentary, with the narrative, and bringing an excitement to chess that I have never experienced from any other creator. Thank you for always covering what's happening in the chess world. I really appreciate all that you do!
This is just what classical chess needed - two players trading wins and making it something you will talk to your friends about at the library or the pub.
I love the detailed explanation! I'm nowhere near a "strong" chess player but your videos have made me much better and I got both the "pause the video" moves on this one! PS - I would rather watch your videos than watch the actual chess games. Great work!
I love that these videos have now made not knowing who is making the first move a running gag. “Today the first move was played by… well I don’t know really, but I guess she is important in Kazakhstan.”
Please never make short video especially when it comes to world chess championship. I personally enjoy your explanation of the games. It makes the game feels more soulful to watch. It also differentiate your chess channel to others. I always been a fan of your channel since the 2018, and I been binged all your videos since than. Thank you for your content that now I fall in love to chess deep till this day.
Agad you are the greatest chess archive channel.Every possible good chess game in this universe needs your commentary on it.Please keep doing your thing however you like.
I have been following you since late 2017 - since your old shorter videos and the close-up cam view :) And it was literally since your spectacular coverage of the 2018 WCC that I have been watching your videos daily, rarely skipping any. Real chess fans enjoy your videos and explanations and learn a lot from them, just as stated by Alireza Firouzja himself and Carlsen's father. Those who left such remarks, you handled them so gentlemanly. So please just stay the way you are, you basically built the healthiest and most wholesome chess community on the internet.
The most interesting part is when Ding played d5, no one actually agrees. Anish and David doubt it, even Stockfish didn't consider it. But once he played Stockfish agreed with the move. Such a spectacular game to watch online live.
Absolutely amazing, and I for one really enjoyed Agad’s commentary. In fact I’d fine it very hard to follow their strategies without it ! So thank you Agadmator for showing and guiding us through a such brilliant game. And what a Hollywood film moment, now it’s 3-3 and all to play for in game 7 !!
That Qf7 move just has me shaking my head. I watched it live and I *still* can't find that move otb. And to play such an incredible sequence of moves under so much pressure when down in the series is just really really amazing for me.
Its good to see Ding coming back to his best chess he once played 3-4 Years ago - hopefully he can play constantly back to his best for all the fans out there of top level chess! ❤
A poem on Chess !! The board is set, the pieces in place The game begins with a steady pace The pawns advance, the knights prance Strategies form, the plan enhances The bishops move on diagonal lines The queen, she reigns, the king, he hides The rooks castle, the opponents hassle Tactics arise, the pressure'll dazzle The players ponder, the clock ticks Every move, a moment to fix The tension mounts, the end in sight The thrill of victory, the fear of flight The board evolves, the game takes hold Each piece a story to be told The sacrifices made, the positions swayed The players fight, the game's parade And then it ends, the checkmate sealed The victory claimed, the fate revealed The pieces retire, the board is clear Until next time, the game will appear. Chess, a game of thought and skill A battle of wits, a mental thrill A challenge for the wise and bold A classic game that never grows old.
On a checkered board of black and white, The battle rages on with all its might, Each piece with purpose, each move precise, Strategizing, thinking, never thinking twice. The king, the queen, the rooks, the knights, The bishops, the pawns, all in sight, Each with a role, each with a place, Moving in patterns, with elegant grace. The game of chess, a war of minds, A battlefield where victory finds, Those who see beyond the present move, And plan ahead, with a steadfast groove. The game is not won with force alone, But with intelligence and tactics shown, The pieces dance, with grace and skill, And victory is achieved with a final thrill. Oh chess, how you challenge and inspire, Teaching us to think and never tire, Of the possibilities that lay ahead, As we strategize and move ahead. So let the game begin, with hearts of fire, And let the chess pieces never tire, For on this board of black and white, We shall fight, with all our might. -- ChatGPT
I personally love your format and really enjoy the pauses to illuminate the strategy and explore alternate lines. I haven't followed chess prior to this but this series has absolutely become appointment viewing for me.
Found Qf7 and really panicked when I saw a1=Q, completely missed that the new queen would just hang. However, I managed to also consider the option of trying to trade the bishop for the strong knight where the pawn at h5 would be sufficient to assist the rook to deliver the checkmate.
Unfortunately Agad rushed the video and did not try to explain this as its as exciting as bf8X , he struggled to show what move white might play while missed to explain the obvious one... take your time mr.
The first move was made by Dana Reizniece-Ozola, Latvian WGM (former U-18 European champion and also former Minister of Finance). She now works as Deputy Chair of FIDE Management board.
I don't see why you shouldn't go into variations. They are what makes me watch your channel! For those who do not like them, they can always find "moves only" videos. Keep up the good work, and yes: this was a wonderful game to watch live. That pawn move to D5 at the end is just sublime.
I love how Antonio was so giddy with excitement when presenting this game, I love the enthusiasm and I absolutely enjoyed it up until the end! Thank you and job well done, sir!
this world chess championship is just too dynamic from what I expected and I love it. this many wins by each player, till game 6 is just incredible....I'm super hyped up now for the rest of the matches🔥
Please keep up those long and deep videos for WCC, it is a special event and it deserves deep coverage!! Also I enjoy you showing pictures, videos clips and giving background to things that happen before and after the game ! You do an amazing job with all your videos - and I repeat my self “for this special event - long and deep analysis and background coverage is well deserved”!! Thank you so much !!
i saw it live with my son, we were calculating an concluded that the line with knight g6 didn´t work, but then we saw thae advance of the mighty pawn... That move was awsome.
As always, the great enthusiasm from Antonio Radic, adds extra value to the excitement of the World Chess Championship. Thank you so much for your continuous effort on this channel. We send you love and respect from Syria.
I think it's better you make the recaps the way you usually make them. Extremely simple but at the same time very very informative. Another reason why I like your recaps is that you are the creator for more of the elderly people who have no time and patience to listen to people screaming when a piece is sacrificed. Be the same 👍
The lines he is showing us are interesting, and it takes a lot of effort for him to explain them, who in the world is saying not to go too deep into the lines
Excellent analysis and presentation! The quick summary at the end is just the icing on top. Also enjoy the aphorisms by famous chess players at the top. Well done!!!
That was amazing. I remember such a beautiful mate in the Kasparov-Short world champ match, but Short was clearly outclassed. Here the players are so evenly matched and still entertaining with hardly any draws.

Don't listen to the haters, Agad. 99.9% of us love your analysis of all the different lines!
That Qf7 move just has me shaking my head. I watched it live and I *still* can't find that move otb. And to play such an incredible sequence of moves under so much pressure when down in the series is just really really amazing for me.
Agadmator was so sarcastic when showing only moves for those who wants it....!!!! It was amazing...!!!😂
Your in depth explanations is the reason we all love this channel
Dinglish and Londing openings, Ding is secretly British
Its good to see Ding coming back to his best chess he once played 3-4 Years ago - hopefully he can play constantly back to his best for all the fans out there of top level chess! ❤
we all know this guy is better than magnus ua-cam.com/video/ScW1yH0z3CU/v-deo.html
A poem on Chess !!
The board is set, the pieces in place
The game begins with a steady pace
The pawns advance, the knights prance
Strategies form, the plan enhances
The bishops move on diagonal lines
The queen, she reigns, the king, he hides
The rooks castle, the opponents hassle
Tactics arise, the pressure'll dazzle
The players ponder, the clock ticks
Every move, a moment to fix
The tension mounts, the end in sight
The thrill of victory, the fear of flight
The board evolves, the game takes hold
Each piece a story to be told
The sacrifices made, the positions swayed
The players fight, the game's parade
And then it ends, the checkmate sealed
The victory claimed, the fate revealed
The pieces retire, the board is clear
Until next time, the game will appear.
Chess, a game of thought and skill
A battle of wits, a mental thrill
A challenge for the wise and bold
A classic game that never grows old.
🤌 Spectacular.

On a checkered board of black and white,
The battle rages on with all its might,
Each piece with purpose, each move precise,
Strategizing, thinking, never thinking twice.
The king, the queen, the rooks, the knights,
The bishops, the pawns, all in sight,
Each with a role, each with a place,
Moving in patterns, with elegant grace.
The game of chess, a war of minds,
A battlefield where victory finds,
Those who see beyond the present move,
And plan ahead, with a steadfast groove.
The game is not won with force alone,
But with intelligence and tactics shown,
The pieces dance, with grace and skill,
And victory is achieved with a final thrill.
Oh chess, how you challenge and inspire,
Teaching us to think and never tire,
Of the possibilities that lay ahead,
As we strategize and move ahead.
So let the game begin, with hearts of fire,
And let the chess pieces never tire,
For on this board of black and white,
We shall fight, with all our might. -- ChatGPT

I have high hopes for game 6 to be something beyond impressive. And just wow, ding showed up mightily this time.
In my opinion, the way you explain the lines is perfect and gets the recaps 1 level higher
I personally love your format and really enjoy the pauses to illuminate the strategy and explore alternate lines. I haven't followed chess prior to this but this series has absolutely become appointment viewing for me.
Six games, four wins (2-2). This is going to be a classic.
After pawn d6
Everyone: Now it’s a pawn race
Ding and his 3700 elo friend: We are cooking something very nasty
"Ian plays bad moves quickly" - Magnus Carlsen
Found Qf7 and really panicked when I saw a1=Q, completely missed that the new queen would just hang. However, I managed to also consider the option of trying to trade the bishop for the strong knight where the pawn at h5 would be sufficient to assist the rook to deliver the checkmate.
Unfortunately Agad rushed the video and did not try to explain this as its as exciting as bf8X , he struggled to show what move white might play while missed to explain the obvious one... take your time mr.
jUsT sHOw MoVeS hahaha
I love all the detailed extra lines, makes it such a rich experience, thanks Agad!
Unbelievable. Ding is playing 4D chess. I was stunned.
The reason to watch the breakdown is for you breaking it down. Please keep up the good work sir!
The first move was made by Dana Reizniece-Ozola, Latvian WGM (former U-18 European champion and also former Minister of Finance). She now works as Deputy Chair of FIDE Management board.
I don't see why you shouldn't go into variations. They are what makes me watch your channel! For those who do not like them, they can always find "moves only" videos. Keep up the good work, and yes: this was a wonderful game to watch live. That pawn move to D5 at the end is just sublime.
I love how Antonio was so giddy with excitement when presenting this game, I love the enthusiasm and I absolutely enjoyed it up until the end! Thank you and job well done, sir!
I’m so happy for Ding 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Game 6 at WCC always delivers!!
Unless you're Ian, of course...
Best game of the match so far. And match itself may be the most unique in history, if it goes on like this. Well played both Nepo and Ding 😊
Ding my man, this Championship 🏆 is a rollercoaster!!!
That pawn d5 from ding was very spectacular and decisive and this show us the big visionary of ding
this world chess championship is just too dynamic from what I expected and I love it. this many wins by each player, till game 6 is just incredible....I'm super hyped up now for the rest of the matches🔥
I love when you go deep into the lines. That analysis is the best! Keep it up. Thank you. Best chess channel.
d5 was really a brilliant move
Excellent game from Din Liren, and your comments are fantastic, Agadmator! Thank you
Thanks to ding for giving us this beautiful piece of art and for giving the world chess championship’s history another nice 6 game!
Please keep up those long and deep videos for WCC, it is a special event and it deserves deep coverage!! Also I enjoy you showing pictures, videos clips and giving background to things that happen before and after the game ! You do an amazing job with all your videos - and I repeat my self “for this special event - long and deep analysis and background coverage is well deserved”!! Thank you so much !!
❤ nicely explained, spectacular game
I enjoy the move explanations on big games like this. Thank you for the content.
Awesome games! Both giants are throwing haymakers. Six games and only two draws!!! WOW. Thanks, Antonio. We have a MATCH! 😃
Perfect coverage. Perfect video length. Ty Ty
i saw it live with my son, we were calculating an concluded that the line with knight g6 didn´t work, but then we saw thae advance of the mighty pawn... That move was awsome.
As always, the great enthusiasm from Antonio Radic, adds extra value to the excitement of the World Chess Championship.
Thank you so much for your continuous effort on this channel.
We send you love and respect from Syria.
I love your in depth explanations about the positions, part of the reason i watch your content regularly
For the world championship always explain as much as possible. I appreciate the explanations
I think it's better you make the recaps the way you usually make them. Extremely simple but at the same time very very informative. Another reason why I like your recaps is that you are the creator for more of the elderly people who have no time and patience to listen to people screaming when a piece is sacrificed. Be the same 👍
Saved to my chess amazing games playlist thank u!!! Amazing game!
d5 is insanely beautiful
definitely enjoy the commentary with alternate lines version, that's why I watch this channel!
Can we make both of them world champion at this point?
No
I really appreciate your explaining every single move. You make me live the game. Keep it up.
The lines he is showing us are interesting, and it takes a lot of effort for him to explain them, who in the world is saying not to go too deep into the lines
Love the deeper analysis
If this version of Ding showed up to every match that would be great. Glad to see him bounce back.
Thank you for adding the scores next to the players' names, it helps track everything!!
King Ding winning with a London. Unbelievable
Thanks for the spoiler
@@corypetrey3619 dont watch the comments
@@corypetrey3619 then don't watch the comments. And if you are a true chess fan you don't care who wins, you care about the chess itself
There is no such thing as too much explaining! That is why we love this channel!
Unbelievable quick game analysis from agadmator.🎉🎉
Excellent analysis and presentation! The quick summary at the end is just the icing on top. Also enjoy the aphorisms by famous chess players at the top. Well done!!!
I don't think anyone expected a game like this from the London. Great stuff.
That was amazing. I remember such a beautiful mate in the Kasparov-Short world champ match, but Short was clearly outclassed. Here the players are so evenly matched and still entertaining with hardly any draws.
We have Magnus to thank for this entertainment!!
Good joke 🤣🤣🤣😅
Great game! I come to your channel because of the analyses, so please keep it up!
Your video style is amazing and absolutely the reason why you are mine and I am sure other peoples favorite chess analyst
