@@badchessplyr Those are not ads, those times correspond to chapters; e.g. 8:26 and 11:35 are the pause the video moments. Though there is one skip-able ad before the video plays. I don't know if he has any control over that one.
I live literally 20 minutes from where this was played and had no idea, my mind was blown in the intro when Naperville got name dropped. Great video as always
Agadmator, I just want to say that in my opinion, your Chess Channel, is the greatest Chess Channel that I have ever come across. I enjoy every single video of yours!! I cannot believe as you explained that Ferero didn't see that move on 07:00 to win the game for white?! This game as you said was highly confusing!!
Hi Agadmator and fellow chess players! I grew up playing against Steve in tournaments in grade school; he was a whiz! I believe his given first name is pronounced “Tian-chee” but I'm not sure. Really cool to see my old friend on your channel! I asked him about it and he said he was winning "trillions of times" haha
Probably. My theory is: His real name was Chang Wui Wang. His American friends persuaded him to change name to more common form: name and surname. So they gathered and discussed what would be the most natural way so that it still sounds as close to the original as possible. They came up with Tchangey Wang. But just few months before this he had married his long-time girlfriend, who happened to be Portuguese, and Tiago is popular Portuguese name. Under her influence, they agreed the new name would be Tianqi Wang.
I was looking through my bookshelf the other day and seeing all of the old books I had, I laughed. It was then I noticed behind a wall of paperbacks my old encyclopedias--books silverfish riddled and made obsolete by today's modern search engines. Feeling nostalgic and lamenting my lost past, I grabbed the alphabetically labelled book with the "I" on its spine and pulled it out. Deranged and morbid, I flipped to the entry for "Insane." There it was found, by the rather perturbed and addled me, a game of chess played by Escobar vs Wang. And so it was.
Fun fact: Alder Escobar Forero is currently the president of the Colombian Chess Federation; he comes from Pereira, the same small city where GM Alonso Zapata was born...Alonso holds the record of the fastest win against a TOP 10 history Grand Master Champion: Zapata vs Anand (Biel 1988) 🎉
"Kg8 allows white to get back in the game and white doesn't miss this opportunity... rather he does... but not by a lot". lol. Very fun game. Very difficult find the moves. And nice ending move.
The amount of checks delivered in this game were more than my entire semester....... Maths marks Edit :First time in my life my comment has got so many likes I thank you so much to you all alot 🥹
I haven't smiled and gasped and laughed and enjoyed the thrill that is chess in some time. I was dancing in my chair the whole time!! edit: and a cherry on top, 69 moves, nice.
this is the type of game, where your brain can equate and compute the old quote that chess parallels life. So many different portals for ones rabbit-hole to transpire. the different possibilities of roads taken n not taken. Always, and thankfully, something to learn.
I try to take away concepts and not particular epic moves, as its much easier to understand a basic concept than find a winning move in some random position. What I took away from this game at the end there was how powerful centralizing your queen on an open board is.
I think it's worthwhile to explain, why Ka2 loses and Kb2 holds. The difference is, that after Kb2 Qe4; Rg3+ Kf2; Rc3 the white rook can go to c2 as he is supported by the king on b2.
If there was a completely new chess piece (which can can only move on odd Sundays, by 12 squares forward) introduced into the game by the move 40, it wouldn't even make it more complicated. It just cannot be.
That piece is essentially useless, since it can only move 12 square increments, assuming it can be placed anywhere on the board legally. As soon as placed it would never have legal moves, thus essentially each player chooses a square on the board to make available to the enemy only by capture. Without doing the math, it wouldn't be surprising to find that these two pieces actually reduce game complexity, since they would block a file a column and two diagonals each and not give the player any furthe options. Thus, I'd wager that you're right, but only trivially so, since the average game of chess at move 40 would offer more complexity then the variation of the game that you propose.
@@paulomartins1008 I was recently thinking about this - imagine post-move 40 you would have the right to one Super Knight move where you have the regular knight move but with one square extra - if your knight is on g1, you can move it to f4 instead of f3. Not mandatory and you have to decide when to use. And, naturally, you cannot just claim check out of nowhere (e.g. king would be within range for super knight check but you haven't actually used it yet. Such a check can only be delivered IF you use that move, and this range lasts for one move only)
Ah man... I live in Naperville and passed by this every day when it was going on but wasn't aware of it. Wish I would've known so I could have observed.
Philippine women's chess #suggestion - WGM Janelle Frayna, the female Wesley So, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz. There's a 12-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here. [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"] 1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qf7 Bf6 7. Qe8+ Kc7 8. Qc8+ Kd6 9. e5+ Qxe5 10. d8=R+ Bxd8 11. Qxd8+ Kc6 12. Qa8+ Kd7 For some reason none of the Philippine channels even cover this game. LOL. But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on. P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See xcdhgq
I don’t think the match was this complicated.It's always you who makes all the games this much complicated by calculating all the possible outcomes...and we all actually enjoy this too much...😁♥️♥️
The game is very complicated, especially if you consider the fact that the players actually have to consider some of these variations themselves while playing
Relax dudes...I wasn’t disrespecting agads or the game.I was just trying to be a little bit sarcastic.Agad brings to us so many variations of each and every game that every games becomes this much complicated.And we all love this.I was just saying this in a sarcastic manner...peace...❤️
Agad I love your videos and I am a true fan of yours.. I just have a humble suggestion if you could increase the duration of your analysis to around 15 mins because 10 mins each game just doesnt suffice #suggestion
14:00 from the video it's not clear at all why Kb2 is saving white so I had to put the position in analysis mode to understand. The difference is that in 14:30 the white rook can go to c3 and this wouldn't allow the black queen to check in e2 because of Rc2. With the white king at a2 Rc2 wasn't possible. Incredible
Hi Agad, big fan. I was one of the participants in this tournament and commented this game for chess life magazine march edition, wondering if it inspired to show you this game? Much love Gauri
He says find the winning move not the winning line. So I accept the praise for solving the pause the video moments. Its the praise I need. Not the one I deserve
The only difference between the position on 10:37and 13:20 is that king is on c2 instead of b2. Funny how one of them is a loss for white and the other is a draw.
Can you imagine how mentally drained both players would be after that one. I have been in one or two games like this long ago over the board with no clock. Games like this drain your soul if you don't win them.
#suggestion Vladimir Simagin vs Leonid Stein (USSR Championship 1961a Tournament) A Crazy Imaginative Game!!! Plz also say something about Wilhelm Steinitz saga.
What d'ya mean there was nothing more to be done at the end - you just demonstrated that White could have won! He just didn't see it. Awesome game though!
Not only is 9...h5 not a novelty, it was played, inter alia, in a Titled Tuesday between Ethan Saya and Viacheslav Slovineanu literally 4 days before this game. That one continued 10. Bxd6 Qxd6; 11. Qd2, which would make 11. Ng3 the novelty (unless someone else has access to a larger database). That game was sadly not so exciting, with the 2 players shuffling about for 54 moves (90 moves total) in an obviously completely drawn R+3p endgame. Maybe Tianqi's inspiration for this line came from Samant-Shimanov 2022, which went 9...h5; 10. 0-0 h4; 11. Re1 Kf8; 12. Qd2 h3 and black eventually won. In any case, this is a set-up that has seen a number of recent games so the players were most likely not going into the position unprepared.
