It's more startling when you have sound turned off, think about a move for a minute or two only to see they already resigned immediately after the last move.
I'm so glad you found it after G5 in the opening. I paused the video and stared at it for like 10 minutes, then found the wrong continuation, and then looked at the engine in that position, and you just played it correctly Wow
that was great! 5m time format is perfect, you thinking out loud as well, but the best part is the analysis afterwards. if you would not rush it and go through a couple of lines like you usually do, that could be very instructive for us mere mortals that want to improve our chess skills. consider making it break time series is what i am saying! 😅
Yes Agadmator Good win that first Game so Glad you won you came up with some really Great Moves I saw a couple options I might’ve made but it worked out Brilliantly for you
Loved seeing you play 5 0 instead of the faster stuff. I dislike watching any games faster than 5 0 because so many games either end with blunders or one player being flagged.
ive always said i would prefer a chess streamer who shows how to analyze most if not all of them show games and what could have happened, but dont explain why it happens or why a move is deemed good or bad i cant read minds, so its nice to see how people higher rated than me analyze a game i see the arrows on lichess but dont know why the engine suggests those moves or what i should take away from them, so stuff like this video is helpful
Sure, the moves to play as Black in inverse of Greenacres Gambit are as follows: Pawn>d5 Bishop>f5 Pawn>e6 Pawn>e4 Bishop>c8 Pawn>c7 Knight>d7 Knight>e7 This will result in a similar pawn structure as the Greenacres Gambit, but with the pieces mirrored across the board. from chat-GPT
Black misses the excellent move at 1:10 sec where he can capture the c3 knight with his and if further white takes it with tha pawn he can easily capute the pawn, give a check and have a free hrook
Maybe it's just me, but Ag in a zip-up turtle neck with the goatee and against a dark background looks like a Bond villain. "G5? Why would you play that Mr. Bond?"
Agad will soon take the live chess streaming crown away from Hikaru, and hopefully soon after that we will see him become a GM. It is time, Antonio-you can do it!!!
2nd comment: 2016 WCC - This is relevant to the 2023 WCC. Please agad cover the other decisive game of the Sergey Karjakin vs Magnus Carlsen 2016 WCC (Game 10, where that TALENTLESS patzer won). #suggestion What happened is that Magnus lost to Sergey AS WHITE in Game 8 but then compensated for a white loss with A WHITE WIN in Game 10. This is what happened to Ding Liren & Nepo for Games 2 & 4 of the 2023 WCC. Fun fact for Game 8 - 'After the game Carlsen was visibly uncomfortable and left the press conference before it began, potentially incurring a fine of 5% of his prize money to the organizers Agon, and a further 5% to FIDE.[59] FIDE released a statement the following day indicating that the penalty would be imposed.[61] The fine was reduced on appeal to 5% of the prize money (2.5% to Agon and 2.5% to FIDE).[62]' For Game 10: Wesley So has some interesting thoughts that DEFY STOCKFISH, as Wesley So did in 2021 St Louis Chess 9LX with the move that won the chessc*m 2021 move of the year award. (Wesley So thinks white 'still had an edge' even though the computer says black is slightly winning.) Some maths: Why doesn't a drawn match go to the player w/ more black wins (if any) s.t. Sergey Karjakin not Magnus Carlsen is 2016 WCC? Surely a black win is worth more than a white win. But you might argue 2 draws with black amounts to a win with black. Does it? No question about it in chess960, where there's no theory. In chess? Gestalt psychology says the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. --- Other suggestions: Women's chess A - Was Kg6 in Dina's 1st GM slaying game in Reykjavik sexism? Like looking down on Dina?

I'm pleased I found queen d1 for black pretty much instantly. I'm certain Antonio would never miss it if it's a normal game without having to explain his thought process. It's so much harder to play chess or any game while you also explain what you think
Lol 5 fake WCs. Bobby Fischer would agree with everything here. - 2016, 2018, 2023 WCC - settled in rapid. Winner didn't have more black classical wins - 2019 WFRCC - real! - 2021 WCC - Magnus cheated Nepo - 2022 WFRCC - rapid disguised as classical In the last 3 classical WCC matches that were drawn in classical portion, it's a Jewish guy (Sergey, Fabi, Nepo) who draws against a gentile (Magnus, Magnus, Liren) who is more favoured in rapid and the favoured gentile wins. Coincidence? Why is it that for 2016 - 2023 - the fake WCs (2016, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023) are won by the bad guys (Magnus, Magnus, Magnus, Hikaru, Liren) over the good guys (Sergey, Fabi, Nepo, Nepo & Wesley So, Nepo) - while the real WCs (2019) are won by the good guys (Wesley So & Nepo) over the bad guys (Magnus) ? - bad guys: magnus carlsen, garry kasparov, FIDE, veselin topalov, hikaru nakamura, ding liren, chess itself - good guys: wesley so, bobby fischer, sergey karjakin, vladimir kramnik, hans niemann, ian nepomniachtchi, chess960 itself Btw, when was the last time someone led with black in the classical portion of any world chess (or chess960) championship match and then later the opponent not only caught up was even leading (but needn't have ultimately won) ? A white win & 2 black draws compensates for a white loss? Really? Gestalt psychology says the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If chess didn't have drawn rounds like basketball baseball csgo valorant etc then every white loss would have to be compensated by a black win. Eh then again I wouldn't want every game to be classical armageddon with auction. But with chess960 yes there are draws but there isn't really a white advantage (as long as you play both colours BUT different position so whomever gets black 1st doesn't have an advantage), so go ahead compensate a white loss with a white win for all I care. 0.1 - 'If all the chess professionals played Fischer Random, our game could have been much more popular.' - Alexander Grischuk Classical chess960 would make every game exciting for the audience and be less stressful for the players. There will be no more draws by theory. Of course Fischer random chess is better than chess960 by 0.1%. 0.2 - Classical armageddon (WITH AUCTION) would make every game exciting without eliminating theory or preparation and is better than rapid & blitz tiebreaks. Besides, it's interesting to see how low players will bid for black Vs white's 120min. 1 - Armageddon is only fair if there's an auction. Who's to say no one would bid lower than 4min for black vs 5min white? 2 - Using 5min vs 4min Armageddon as a tiebreaker for something initially classical is ridiculous especially if Armageddon has no increment. But eh if you're already playing rapid and blitz to break ties for classical then whatever. What a great example set in the 2016 & 2018 WCCs, using rapid instead of classical Armageddon with auction. Such an example continued to the 2022 WFRCC where Wesley So got lower time controls from the 2019 WFRCC for no good reason. Lower time controls are to break draws. Why lower time controls for Wesley So in the 2022 WFRCC when Wesley So WON the 2019 WFRCC? Very good reason to consider Hikaru as the rapid WFRCC while Wesley So is still the classical WFRCC. Still, to break any classical tie, why not classical chess960 or classical chess Armageddon instead? 3 - Classical Armageddon for either chess or chess960 would be interesting because in sufficiently high time controls, black may give up more than half the time of white. The closest I've seen is the 2013 USCC between Gata Kamsky and (errrr) (....) (errrr), which was slow rapid though not classical. It's 24:45 Vs 50min after you add increment to 19:45 vs 45min. Oh yes actually Armageddon games have increment! At least they did 1 decade ago. 4 - I've actually come to realise that chess is a completely unfair game if you don't play both colours. Often you play swiss & single round robin with uneven white & black games. And even if they are even, you could've done better or worse depending on your colour. I think Yasser asked Wesley So if double elimination in the 2023 American Cup should be used also for the USCC. Actually it's fairer to do even single elimination because in knockouts you always play both colours except Armageddon. Regardless of logistic practicality, seems to me the only fair thing if you're insisting on swiss & single round robin is: 4.1 - Play both colours. If it's 1 win each, then it's simply a draw. 4.2 - Play single game still but Armageddon. 4.3 - Play chess960 instead. Who cares if you're black? I don't mind if I play black in chess960 for the rest of my life, but I hate every single time I play black in chess. . . . . . P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See xcdhgq
"what did he play? oh he resigned" is so funny to me hahahahaha
It's more startling when you have sound turned off, think about a move for a minute or two only to see they already resigned immediately after the last move.
He was about to get Checkmated anyway if I see I’m about to be checkmated I’ll resign too
I like Agadmator game views obviously but I’m really enjoying watching him play chess. It’s vastly increasing my chess knowledge.
Yeah I will mention that game to my friends, next time I go to the bar or to the library (with my chess set, obviously)
Please keep doing this series where you play and explain your thought patterns. Thank you so much. Enjoyable ❤❤
Hello everyone
I'm so glad you found it after G5 in the opening. I paused the video and stared at it for like 10 minutes, then found the wrong continuation, and then looked at the engine in that position, and you just played it correctly
Wow
Love hearing your own commentary when it come to your games live.. great video
Please make a 1 hour video of your game, Agad! Really enjoyed this.
that was great!
5m time format is perfect, you thinking out loud as well, but the best part is the analysis afterwards.
if you would not rush it and go through a couple of lines like you usually do, that could be very instructive for us mere mortals that want to improve our chess skills.
consider making it break time series is what i am saying! 😅
All your videos are my happy place and the way you talk sometimes make me laugh thank you
Best series , on YT 🎉
This is much better than the three minute format. Gives us time to follow it. Well done.
I'm gonna get addicted to these
More Agadmator games. Thanks!
Very cool series! I enjoyed the game and the process of analysis, keep it coming! Thanks for all the content!
Yes Agadmator Good win that first Game so Glad you won you came up with some really Great Moves I saw a couple options I might’ve made but it worked out Brilliantly for you
Agad - I have thoroughly been enjoying watching the videos of your own games and analysis. Please keep doing these!
This was beautiful 👍👍 looking forward to more!
Awesome vid bro
Keep going!!
Loved seeing you play 5 0 instead of the faster stuff. I dislike watching any games faster than 5 0 because so many games either end with blunders or one player being flagged.
You play like me! Going into crazy positions because they're interessting and than (nearly) loose on time LOL
"I have to remember what's the point of it all" - You and me both
I LOVE seeing more of your games.
Boy, that escalated quickly.
ive always said i would prefer a chess streamer who shows how to analyze
most if not all of them show games and what could have happened, but dont explain why it happens or why a move is deemed good or bad
i cant read minds, so its nice to see how people higher rated than me analyze a game
i see the arrows on lichess but dont know why the engine suggests those moves or what i should take away from them, so stuff like this video is helpful
Love these videos.❤❤❤
These are a lot of fun to watch
What on earth just happened? 🙂 Nothing wrong with a little comic relief after watching Nepo and Ding duke it out. Good video, thanks agad.
I am quite happy that I saw the potential winning move for black with the queen. I may have blown the follow ups but was happy none the less.
First time I saw you play a game and analyse it. That was cool!
This is actually fun to watch
Nice game! PS: #Suggestion --> David Anton Guijarro VS David Navara, amazing attacking game in the ChessKid Cup 2023 (from a couple of days ago)!
7:00 you had a forced mate. Your bishop pair coveres those squares. If you just checked him with q
well spotted
need more Agad...even trying more opening that you know
Sure, the moves to play as Black in inverse of Greenacres Gambit are as follows:
Pawn>d5
Bishop>f5
Pawn>e6
Pawn>e4
Bishop>c8
Pawn>c7
Knight>d7
Knight>e7
This will result in a similar pawn structure as the Greenacres Gambit, but with the pieces mirrored across the board. from chat-GPT
Really love your chill Lichess videos. Do you sometimes consider doing livestream on a regular basis again?
Your opponent really confused the shit outta me as well 😳 Dude just bluffed it all away but you didnt buy it lol
This was good. I enjoyed it.
Nice strange-looking game
Fun to watch. Of course, afterwards you are like "Oh I should have done THAT!" Soon you will have your own dancing girls in the background!
More of these🔥
Black misses the excellent move at 1:10 sec where he can capture the c3 knight with his and if further white takes it with tha pawn he can easily capute the pawn, give a check and have a free hrook
1. N:c3 a3
Very Nice game Agad just i remember once upon the time you use to teach us this is this opening etc
U made me love chess 😂😂 thanks bro , I love ur matches
At 8:42 was knight to F7 not a better move? Not very good at chess and trying to figure out why he went with queen to G5.
Do more videos of you playing games. Subscriber from CA
2:30, why not Bishop to C3? Check, force the move, might get a rook out of it.
Exciting stuff!
Nice one Agad, need to learn the Sicilian properly
these vids could be much longer its very enjoyable
Maybe it's just me, but Ag in a zip-up turtle neck with the goatee and against a dark background looks like a Bond villain.
"G5? Why would you play that Mr. Bond?"
please please please keep doing these videos, much more interesting and enjoyable than other games
Ah the pokemon reference, a man of culture i see
Love those videos
If you start uploading hour long blitz sessions, banter blitz style, i will watch every single one. Please do so..😊😊
#suggestion
Very enjoyable video.
cant wait for the agadmator blitz saga
I think you should play all your fans Agad!
Just from your lessons, I’d be going knight back. 1:30
The problem with the new camera angle is you don't make eye contact very much. It seems less personal.
Once again, your lessons tell me to take b4 with Queen.

Hello everyonne!
Please Analyze Arjun Erigasi Vs Boris Gelfand yesterday game in tournament
2nd comment: 2016 WCC - This is relevant to the 2023 WCC.
Please agad cover the other decisive game of the Sergey Karjakin vs Magnus Carlsen 2016 WCC (Game 10, where that TALENTLESS patzer won). #suggestion

For Game 10: Wesley So has some interesting thoughts that DEFY STOCKFISH, as Wesley So did in 2021 St Louis Chess 9LX with the move that won the chessc*m 2021 move of the year award. (Wesley So thinks white 'still had an edge' even though the computer says black is slightly winning.)

How come knight fork queen is missed by agad
your the best
I'm pleased I found queen d1 for black pretty much instantly. I'm certain Antonio would never miss it if it's a normal game without having to explain his thought process. It's so much harder to play chess or any game while you also explain what you think
I don't see why Aggie didn't use his knight to fork between the King and the Bishop. One of the Bishops or the other should have been toast!
Can we get an Agadmator saga?
Lol 5 fake WCs. Bobby Fischer would agree with everything here.

- while the real WCs (2019) are won by the good guys (Wesley So & Nepo) over the bad guys (Magnus)
?
- bad guys: magnus carlsen, garry kasparov, FIDE, veselin topalov, hikaru nakamura, ding liren, chess itself
- good guys: wesley so, bobby fischer, sergey karjakin, vladimir kramnik, hans niemann, ian nepomniachtchi, chess960 itself
Btw, when was the last time someone led with black in the classical portion of any world chess (or chess960) championship match and then later the opponent not only caught up was even leading (but needn't have ultimately won) ?
