Funny thing about when Chuckie plays, Medo ALWAYS seemed to pep up whenever you covered one of his games. I honestly think he was Medo’s favourite player! ❤ I’ve watched you for years but never said thanks: because of your channel I started playing chess again, in my forties, when I hadn’t played for two decades. You’re an amazing and important part of this community Antonio. Thanks from Melbourne, Australia.
Nah bruh, haven't gone through all 3K vids on this channel. But for the most I've seen; Nobody loses more than Wesley for real. Anytime you see Wesley on Agadmator, you can almost bet he lost
Peter Svidler on Wesley (Im paraphrasing a bit here): In a way this a quintessential Wesley game. He had a great position at some point but chose a safe option that lost most of the advantage. That's been his approach to complex positions in recent years. And that's a shame bc he's a fantastic player that could reach unbelievable height when you force him to play
I .... We really like two 2024 improvements that Agadmator put on the table 1- mentioning the score between players ✅ 2- always finishing the game for (Me) low rated player ✅ Also the ❌blunder in 🎤 microphone area although a bit irritating but we still like that to happen sometimes 🤣 it's kinda becoming a traditional thing 😁
Pro Tip: Don't just watch his videos. Set up a board, go through the moves as he says them aloud. But when he switches to a variation that COULD HAVE or SHOULD HAVE occurred; don't move the physical pieces on your board. Imagine the pieces moving in your head. This channel will increase your playing strength immediately.
Non pro tip (unless you are over 2700, which none of us are) , unless it's a mate sequence or b4, dont even try. In my opinion, it's almost impossible to find out any pause the video moment unless it's a mating sequence or b4 followed by heavy material damage. This channel is not a tutorial channel
@@arkzbhworst advice I ever heard. Pause the video moments are basically chess puzzles. Maybe puzzles is not your thing. But in general they are gonna help you get better
Ivanchuk is a ways from his prime, but STILL uncorks these great ideas otb. He's one of those few players that every opponent knew would always be a difficult game to survive back in the day, no matter who he played.
Wow, Agad actually listened to the guy who requested for flags to be added. Going forward I think flags should be shown for games, not just during the coverage of the olympiad.
Vasyl reminds me of the good chess times, the days of Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand...etc. I mean before the engine era, when all the masterpieces were created naturally out of the player's mind. Nowadays you feel like most of the games are asame, more robotic than humanic.
About strategy for game, in team chess, selectors have main role about it . For example in match India- Serbia , quick draw make Praggnanandhaa with white pieces, for sure with suggestion of his selector
#suggestion Lithuanian legend Vladas Mikenas' immortal game vs Sergey Lebedev in 1941. Sacrificed nearly every piece and played mate down 14pts of material. A real beauty
I watch you at least once per day. Lately you have been entertaining newer ideas put forth by us. I have to say I think you do a great job and hope all the best. In particular, get more views than the click bait Gotham. (I shouldn't say that).
#suggestion youngest grandmaster yağız kaan erdoğmuş won with a rook sacrifice at the end against a latvian grandmaster. its an olympiad round 4 game turkey-latvia
I thought ivanchuk retired so i didn't clicked on this video, today while seeing the results i found he hasn't retired and beat So. Scrolled my notification to find the video again
During those days when Anand played against Ivanchuk,on seeing their photos in newspapers,I used to have a feeling of a fight between the Lion and uncanny fox😂😂
f8 would be still mate, mate... EDIT: I take it back. I didn't realize it is black to move... EDIT2: you were indeed correct. r or q to h8 does not end up with a checkmate. But if you then do not play e5 and sacrifice your queen, then you get in big trouble, which was correct from agadmator.
If only Chucky could've been more consistent and play for the World Championship, we all would've loved to see him at the very top. Let's imagine he would've defeated Kasparov instead of Kramnik; probably something else than the Berlin would be the top opening. Nevertheless, always a joy to watch him play!
Hello brother 👋🏻 i have a question can you answer me my chess rating stuck in 1200 elo I solve daily puzzles and play games and analyse them still not improving how can I improve my game and rating which opening should I play
Hungary, Rapport Richard won against genius Ivanchuk, please explain why he simply did not played 16.Bh6,i still cant understand why Ivanchuk did not played that, there must be reason for that.
Maybe Team USA can call Bobby Fischer back... Can't do worse than Wes losing to Ivanchuk after destroying Vas so many years ago(?) when Wes was 16yrs old and making Ivanchuk retire (temporarily).... Robson played board 3 or 4? Team USA management needs firing by tomorrow. Perhaps they can leave the coaches and managers in BudaPest, which is pretty this time of year.
Why don't Fabi, Nepo & Hikaru buy out Liren with permission from FIDE for the 2024 WCC? Each of the 3 pays 416,666 USD, and then they have a playoff where winner faces Gukesh. Fabi & Nepo were about to bet 1m USD on 15+0 with Hans & Nodirbek, so surely 416,666 isn't a problem. I'll tell you a secret: For 2023 WCC, Liren bought out Magnus for zero USD. LOL. 2024Jul22 Update: Joe Biden dropped out and is being replaced by Kamala Harris. Donald Trump is like Gukesh. --- More info : - yirg14TiLt8 - Ha6uVGB-Mtw
Ivanchuk had never beaten So before today... Also you keep mentioning if Ivanchuk or So didn't know Fabi lost like if the game was over when they were on move 15 or 20 lol...if anything Volokitin was better at that time.
I won easily with Evans Gambit under 20 at junior ch. 'you can do whatever you want to win' but that was nonsense' he told. I played then yet for MTK. In Hungary. :) i do not think that this d2-d3 gives any advantage in any way, maybe for Magnus Carlsen 70 moves later there will be still equal and Magnus Carlsen will win but still d2-d3 is 21.rh century move? I think d2-d3 is nonsense.

Always loved Ivanchuk. One of the greats
Nobody loses on this channel more than wesley.
I think MVL holds that title and Parham
no definitely Arian Tara loses the most on this channel
I'd put Van Forrest in the running too. I swear Agadmator has uploaded like 100 games between him and Magnus and he hasn't won a single one (*_*)
Nah bruh, haven't gone through all 3K vids on this channel.
But for the most I've seen; Nobody loses more than Wesley for real.
Anytime you see Wesley on Agadmator, you can almost bet he lost
Nah. At least I've never seen Wesley lose to someone like a 2400+ rated GM/IM in this channel so far unlike some other GMs.
I never comment on UA-cam; but, Chucky... I'm here for it
Victory in pure Ivanchuk style!👏

I think that on 2:57 white should play Qd8 as it is deadly
That's what I thought, but if Black plays Qe8 I'm not sure. I wish the video had explored this.
Or even Qf8. (Of course, a better player knows these answers).
@@lmntcrnstn4970if black plays Qe8 white has Bxf6 and black should capture the bishop cause if he caps the queen its Rxd8 is checkmate

FIDE Chess Olympiad (2024), Budapest HUN, rd 4, Sep-14
During those days when Anand played against Ivanchuk,on seeing their photos in newspapers,I used to have a feeling of a fight between the Lion and uncanny fox😂😂
8:04 why didn't So take Rxa4?
2:57 Qd8+ and its over... No Bxf6 action
#suggestion Arjun's game.
Also Divya's game for rollercoaster
@ 4:50, how is q or r to h8 checkmate? White can simply move his king to f8. What am I missing...
f8 would be still mate, mate... EDIT: I take it back. I didn't realize it is black to move... EDIT2: you were indeed correct. r or q to h8 does not end up with a checkmate. But if you then do not play e5 and sacrifice your queen, then you get in big trouble, which was correct from agadmator.
The king moving to f8 does not dodge the check in any capacity, still will be in check
I see the issue now. Qf6 is a forced mate, not Qh8.
If Kf8 then Qf6 again threatening mate so black has to give up a lot of material, not mate but the game is over
Vasyl aka Vastel is OP!
If only Chucky could've been more consistent and play for the World Championship, we all would've loved to see him at the very top. Let's imagine he would've defeated Kasparov instead of Kramnik; probably something else than the Berlin would be the top opening.
Nevertheless, always a joy to watch him play!
