Hi Agadmator, just wanna say I've noticed my chess skills improve a lot from watching your vids. Still a sub-1000 player but I can catch myself implementing tactics and ideas from games you've analysed. For example, after watching a recent vid of yours with a queen sacrafice, I won two games with queen sacrafices of my own!
don't forget to hit the tactics training hard. You can probably get up to 1300 within a month if you spend 1.5 hrs per day doing tactics. Just a thought. Good luck.
I can't help but notice at 4:07 White can bring Rd8 into play (1. ...Kf7 / 2. Qh7+, Kf8 / 3. Rg8 at 4:15) which according to stockfish is a mate in 6 for white, so it technically isn't meant to be a draw in that position...? Unless I'm missing something.
From 1600 to 1800 + on lichess Just from your videos . Every time I’m in a slump I watch one of your videos . I lose a lot of games in the end to cheapos or blunders after winning the middle . I’d like to see videos that study the opening more , my weakest point ... play as illgambit .
how he could see this attack blindfolded and miss the mate in one vs Anand i'll never understand (don't know the specific tournament, but all Ivanchuk had to do was take the rook in the corner with the queen and it was over)
Dhruvil Purani Anand didn't pressurize him at all...it is just that chucky's monsters almost always get the better of him(even recently in the candidates vs Aronian he lost just because of his nervous breakdown)
Could you do us a tiny favor and put the time controls(when known by you) somewhere on your videos? I see you did write that this was a rapid but you know that only tells us so much. Thanks a bunch man!
@agadmator's Chess Channel Hello Agadmator ! This is a romantic choice :p At 7:21, after Fxe7 Black lost in all variations. After 1.Fxe7+ if ... f6 then simply 2.Bxf6 # if ... e5 then 2.Qh6 After 2. Qh6 if ... Rg8 then 3. Qf6+ Rg7 4. Qxg7 # If any other moves then simply Qg7 # And if you re wondering why go for Fxe7+ ? when we can just go for Qh6 immediately, well rewind a bit the video to 7:01. You will see two discovered checks in a row with the same pawn preparing the final Queen blow for the end! That's too rare and too cool to be ignored, don't you ? ;) Hope you will appreciate it ! :) Keep continuing the good works !! Have a good Chess' day ! ;)
His playing style and when he wins is so confusing. Like when he was almost dead last and beat Magnus in a beautiful endgame, while Magnus was undefeated that entire tournament. And now he is dead last but plays the most memorable game of the tournament. Also that one time he played a move that was just meant to annoy Kasparov. I don’t understand him at all
In a blindfold chess match can the competitors ask for the moves to be repeated? Do they write the moves down (un-blindfolded, but no board in sight)? Or are they so super-human that they just have to remember the board at all times?
This is why Chucky is part of my holy trinity. He isn't just some novelty memory freak, he makes chess (proper chess, without blindfold) exciting and open and forces these theory fetishists to play actual chess.
#suggestion Mikhail Botvinnik VS Savielly Tartakower, Nottingham 1936, Botvinnik won. Also portrayed in Simpsons episode "The Cad and the Hat", Homer Simpsons VS his father, Magnus Carlsen also made a cameo, you already made an episode earlier about "Richard Reti vs. Savielly Tartakower". You missed out this one with Homer against his father.
well, i watch you everyday and there is no such video i've even checked in the search, and there are only 2 games by Morozevich on your channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tWeBj0cj9hM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w0pqE-_WN0M.html
Hello Antonio, I am your follower in RU-vid and I am really like your videos and appreciate what you are doing for us, chess fans! I would like to ask you to make a video about Bobby Fischer vs David Bronstein 1970 - French Defense game, I would like to hear a proper analys from a professional. I am reading Bronstein's book and he had this game in his example of one of the masteries games he participated. Thank you for your attention.
Hey agadmator, kinda unrelated question but, how often do you play vs cheaters(people using engines) in blitz 3+0 on lichess? How do you even cheat in such low time control?
at the end of the "well known draw" position, i was really hoping you would go into detail as to why Rg1 isn't great, instead of Qh8+ but i guess i may have figured it out...
First of all if ...Ke8 27. Qh8+?? Nf8 saves the day. Instead after Ke8 27. Bg6+ Rxg6 (as Kf8 loses immediately to Qh8#) 28. Qxg6+ this leads to repeated check. Also White can go down another line by checking on h5 instead of h7 which completely stops this idea. Here is a PGN, go to lichess.org; goto tools>analysis board to study it if you want 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 e6 7. f3 Be7 8. Qd2 Nc6 9. O-O-O O-O 10. g4 Nxd4 11. Bxd4 b5 12. h4 Bb7 13. g5 Nd7 14. g6 b4 15. gxh7+ Kh8 16. Nd5 exd5 17. Bxg7+ Kxg7 18. Rg1+ Kxh7 19. Bh3 f5 20. Qf4 Rf6 21. Bxf5+ Kh8 22. Rg7 Kxg7 23. Qg5+ Kf7 24. Qh5+ Kf8 25. Qh8+ Kf7
The whole game i was thinking how did ivanchuk remember the b7 bishop. It only moved 2 times and in the endgame even i who was just watching ghe game forfot that there is a bishop in the game
hi agadmator.. big fan.. i have just 2 questions.. what is your real name and your rating.. and who is that guy on the top right in your videos in black and white.. please respond.. thanks..
Yes, it means not sighted.You can train by looking at the board only every two moves, then three, then four,etc. until you can play a full game. At least that's how I taught myself. And it becomes more natural with stronger calculation and a lot of games (even non-blindfold)
Persha かみーさま then black plays e5 and white bishop instantly has bad diagonal, so it's not quite an option. However black's position is still uncomfortable
@The Wicked One. Persha's move was fine ! At 7:21, after Fxe7 Black lost in all variations. After 1.Fxe7+ if ... f6 then simply 2.Bxf6 # if ... e5 then 2.Qh6 After 2. Qh6 if ... Rg8 then 3. Qf6+ Rg7 4. Qxg7 # If any other moves then simply Qg7 # So The Fxe7 move works. ^^" Have a good Chess' day ! ;)
I think Ivanchuk might have modes where plays more like a computer/human hybrid than most people. That might be why his games are viewed as strange. Of course, I might be full of shit.
prasanth t if they make an illegal move, they lose. So if they try to move a piece that isnt there or they try to capture a piece that isnt present its game over.
