Not Even a GM But Crushing Everyone! 

Agadmator: You you can rewind 30 seconds Viewers: Keep on watching him trying to find his saved file

Glad you showed Salimova's games, her match was INTENSE

From 8:58 observe Agads expressions... He's so passionate for his work... His psychology speaks for itself ❤ That's why I'm his regular viewer

Salimova's bishop work when attacking is impeccable!

As a Bulgarian I am very happy to see Nurgyul Salimova's strong performance in the FIDE's Women's World Cup (2023) and also her getting the spot light she deserves on her games! Also a great pleasure to see a Bulgarian IM's games being presented on this great chess channel! Good luck to her on the finals and thank you for playing incredible chess!

Love the vid - also 8:45 I love how endearing aged is when he says things like "give me one second", like its a conversation he's having with a friend rather than a video he can edit lo. Love you mate, keep up the good work

Aaah I am so happy you showed Salimova's game!! She is an absolute beast, the way she decided on a brilliant move with ten seconds on the game...

This is by far the best chess channel out there - great choice of games every time, clear and instructive analysis, passion and respect for the game of kings, and today even a rare but somehow entertaining glitch.

8:32 I love how Agad always gives you the Director's Cut. Continuous commentary with no cuts or edits.

Absolutely loved how Nurgyul's bishops are so deadly in these games! Thank you Agad for showing this!

Salimova's games are flawless. She totally crushed a seasoned grandmaster. What a superb rising talent she is proving to be.

I watched both games on radom , My day was going along, I was bored and checked twitch for some chess streams. I watched her doing those games low on time and the way she thought about those brilliant ideas! I fell in love with Nurgyul the moment I saw those two games!

Yay! I actually saw the two "crushing moves" at 15:00 (basically barbarian crashing down the door), but that's only because Agadmator says there is something to look for in the position. 😆

Thank you so much for this tribute to Salimova. I have watched all of her games in the tournament and really fell in love with her style of play. I hope she does well in the finals, too, but she has already won: what a woman!

That is a master class in the queens gambit. I'm taking notes about that bishop and rook work!

Salimova check-mating left and right like there's no tomorrow!

same here.. Not even a GM, IM, FM or anything but crushing hard on her

Grigory Oparin defeated Stockfish with Re1 😮 11:18 Impressive!

Happy Friday Agadmites!!!

Wow! The first game was insane. Salimova played absolutely amazing! Sacrificing the rook with the intention to move the king with a tempo to protect the bishop and use it in a mating attack. That's just insanely creative! She is really good!

Second game was brutal wow!

Amazing! Really brilliant play from Salimova. We don't see many games this exciting at the highest level

Thank you so much for this video! 🇧🇬

Some of the best maneuvering of bishops we have seen in mens or womens games.

3:42 You don't want to see Knight to c4, so Knight to d2. Next move... 4:14 Now knight to b3. 🙄🙄

Audacious play. A worthy finalist.

for anyone wondering why she didnt calculate far enough out to see that the rook was poisoned, they were both down to a few seconds on the clock

Wow. Salimova was just crushing with these immense games. Tal would be proud.

Wowzers! Now that's a Cinderella story if I ever heard one! These 2 games are works of art. Way to go, Nurgyul!

Nurgul seems to follow Fischer! I think I will watch Nurgul instead of Magnus tomorrow!

Enjoying these two for one videos you've been making recently

Now this is some wildly creative chess. Bravo Nurgyul.

This was Salimova’s night at the opera!

I am Bulgarian and i am very proud and please watching these games! I will ignore the Turkish discussion below. Selimova is a Bulgaria citizen and playing for Bulgaria. And nowadays discussing the Turkish rule is just silly anyway. In our country where the media is overtook by Influencers, reality show stars and no-talent podcasters it is so great that a young talent like her finally receives media attention.

❤ for agad to keep me updated on the tournaments and chess world.

Would love to see the final game with Salimova. Thanks :)

what a talent

“We combine two useless ideas and make a usefull one” 😂

I was looking for this game finally You are the best.

Excellent commentary to excellent play. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

8:42 Alright, there we have ... Nope!". Lol, I just found that funny.

Gospodjica Salimova je odlicno odigrala, svaka cast!

Very impressive tactics

#suggestion can we get the women's final covered, too? Would love to see more from Salimova

9:17 I've been watching agad searching the image for the past 1 hour

That tower sacrifice is amazing. It's not difficult to calculate the combination, but it's extremely difficult to even consider it, it needs a lot of discipline and creativity. Side note she is just 20 years old. Moving above 2600 requires a change of style towards the more boring, it happened to Kasparov, to Magnus to everybody, except some magical figure from some city. But it's well within her reach.

I almost NEVER find the "Pause the Video" solutions, but this time I was determined. I'm only a 1500 - 1600 player, so when I spotted the rook capture and then the bishop move, I wasn't sure. A few checks of everything else and I realized I had it. This was SO satisfying.

Very interesting is she work with Nijat Abasov who is doing a great job as well

Really remarkable, a whole rook sacrifice allowing check too: the harmonic black pieces coordination allowed this elegant, sharp combination! In the second game the soul of Paul Morphy was inspiring her!😊

10:13 Based Agadmator 💀

agad please cover more beautiful games from womens world cup

10:18 “if Morphy played Anderssen on a bad day” had lol’in. Sounds like a backhanded compliment but is actually a true compliment 😂

It´s nice to see some other game styles. Thanks for the video.

Yes! Magnificent chess! Fantastic use of the two bishops in both these won games. Can she be invited for the challengers group of the Tata Steel wijk aan zee in january 24?

THESE can be called incredible!. Thank you!

It’s interesting to see there is no Magnus in thumbnail while the other guy has thumbnails ready for next one year with Magnus in them😁

Really enjoyed both games, Salimova played very well, 👍👍

Beautiful games by Salimova! I hope we get to see a lot more of her in the future! BTW, the FIDE commentator compared Salimova to Judit Polgar. We might have a new woman #1 in the making here! Thanks for the recaps!

Antonio, how did your English get so good?

If beauty with brain had a face.😍

Both of them played good stuff.❤

Oh my god what a finish

13:50 I was able to spot this sequence. What a beautiful game!

Appreciate well clothed people playing awesome chess.

incredible attacking games. wonderful to watch

I want to hear one time something like "... and it is as of move 84 that we have a completely new game."

Yeah even Wesley So's girlfriend Carissa Yip as black beat a GM here. Lots of upsets happen in best-of-2 knockouts I guess? #suggestion --- 1st - World Cup Round 2 - Wesley So's girlfriend Carissa Yip as black beats chinese grandmaster xue zhao #suggestion --- 2nd - World Cup Round 1 - Argentina gets zugzwang by Wesley So... ...'s girlfriend Carissa Yip Campos, Maria Jose (2212) Wesley So's girlfriend Yip, Carissa (2369) #suggestion --- 3rd - Alice Lee beat Wesley So... ...'s girlfriend Carissa Yip in 2023 USCC girls juniors #suggestion Carissa is underperforming and even lost to a WGM because Carissa is distracted by a secret relationship with Wesley So that started in the 2022 Olympiad. Look at Carissa's X header. Notice both of them are defending champions but then underperform in their 1st tournaments after the Olympiad. Carissa Yip 2021 USCC women's - winner 2022 USCC girls juniors - didn't play but would've easily won if not for playing in 2022 USCC juniors instead 2023 USCC girls juniors - only 3rd place (should be 2nd minimum) Wesley So 2019 classical WFRCC - winner 2021 9LX - 2nd place 2021 USCC - winner 2022 9LX - only 5th place 2022 USCC - only 5th-6th place 2022 rapid WFRCC - only 6th place (should be 4th minimum; also for other 2) --- 4th - Timestamps Why not let viewers make timestamps in comments then you can pin the best timestamp comment and copy the timestamps to the video description? #suggestion --- 5th - Magnus cheats Anish in 2023 superbet blitz round 7 --> 3:22:36 in 8gw7XDq87C4 #suggestion --- 6th - Philippine women's chess 2022 WFRCC #suggestion WGM Janelle Frayna, the 1st and only Philippine WGM, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz.

See xcdhgq xcdhgq xcdhgq xcdhgq --- I notice bo2 losing as white means you MUST win as black next because there are no draws to save you. So it's just like csgo/valorant or baseball. 2023 WCC - Nepo as black beat Liren 2016 WCC - Sergey as black beat that TALENTLESS patzer Magnus But Magnus & Liren just saved the day by doing 2 black draws and then a white win.

I'm constantly impressed by Salimova's chess gameplay.

I am so glad about the title of the video. Its so amazing how chess is absolutely in the moment and cannot always rely on history.

Thank you!!!🎉

Very nice and simple.

Okay! Crush updated,thanks agad.

Salimova's performance has been fantastic throughout the tournament. I'd really like to know her overall performance rating once the cup ends.

wow what a brilliant attack by Salimova

I think Nurgyul said that she was studying in college or high school for much of last year at the same time as chess...crazy good talent :)

Incredible games

Incredible game, beautiful Art❤♾👑

#suggestion Show some game of Antoaneta Stefanova when Women Championship overs

Awesome content! It'll be fun to watch her progress!

Wow fantastic Checkmate in second game as well Salimova such a Brilliant player

"Anna Musychuk" from Ukraine. But what about "Nurgyul Salimova"??She seemed to be from Nowhere?

Thank You So Much For Covering This!! ❤🙏🏽🔥🪷

Agadmator, Friday night double header game views would be a great routine to start. (Also, I miss the hoodguy games) 😅

#Suggestion : Rey Enigma VS Garry Kasparov, a year after Karpov, but you didn't cover that game. Would you do the honors?

Really impressive play by Nasgul, those sacrifices were unreal!! Both a knight and a rook with check!! Who does this?? Impressive!!

I like her style!

Yo a Musashi quote that’s so fire I just started reading Vagabond

At the cost of sounding like a simp.. She has been crushing everyone at the world cup.. and everyone has been crushing on her

"Combine two useless ideas to make a useful one." - Agadmator, 2023

Good job, girl :) Greets from Bulgaria!

The second game's checkmate reminds me of Opera House game

Brutal second game. Ouch!

Salimova crushed anna like a beast

I love the new format but have been missing the "sorry about that" so this video makes up for it

Extremely awesome game from Nurgyul, well done girl, keep crashing limits, u are the
