@@schroederluck7984 That's why English is the world's best language. Unlike, for example, the French, we English speakers actually welcome new words and word concepts to grow the vocabulary and absorb fresh ideas. Note that I say "best" language, and not "easiest to learn".

@6:37 reminds me of the position Fabi had and couldn’t convert to a win😢

The caption by reti about capablanaca's mother tongue is dope

“The sad passive cube of black’s reality” What a deep quote. Probably from the art of war

The last "pause the video" moment took me 20 minutes approx to figure tbh, brilliant one

#suggestion Nordibek wins Sigeman chess tornament after losing first round to Korabov. Please cover this Antonio

again found the third one only, but the ones worth showing were the first two, because they are the ones that need visualizing the board after the moves. Sure I for one had considered both moves that solved the first and second pause the video moments, but not the continuations, so more like the first two, but also the third one was not so easy, well worth it. Thank you.

@@alpha007org its the king-chase too. The last one is close to checkmate, whereas the other two involve a material or position advantage that you have to look for, after you "see" the board. But that's really how games are won, so I like these more than the "easier" ones, but still, the tragedy of missing a checkmate cannot be understated sometimes, so checkmate sequences should be there too. I think we need to help Agad. We can start by a rudimentary AI, ask him not to move his head too much and auto-generate game comemntary that he can review and release. The last bit is fairly standard "..and whatever happens in the library erhmm the chess world"

Amazing. The blunder actually doesn't look like a blunder.

Only a computer would know that.

The description is from the Artemiev video, FYI. I always enjoy your videos @agadmator! Thank you for your channel.

Omg I got the first one! I have never felt more prouder about a pause the video moment. I knew that busting open the center was the idea, because his pieces were awkwardly placed, and it was all because of the light square weaknesses black created for himself! Either the bishop gets on the h3-c8 diagonal, or the White queen gets on the Black king's diagonal :)

#SUGGESTION Hello Agad. Hope doing well. If it's possible cover last game ever a GM in a real game could beat computer. I mean Ruslan Ponomariov vs Fritz ( Man vs Machine in Bilbao 2005 ). I don't talk more but blunder by Fritz was crazy. 😅 it's my third time. Hope you see my suggestion. Thanks. 😊❤

I think that clearance sacrifices are the most beautiful and satisfying moves in chess

I must say that I kind of miss the old friends from the bar and the library.

Brilliant moves.

Diamond vs. The Crown! Nice :)

hands down best chess channel on youtube.

White played elaborate and very strong moves great co-ordination of moves Nice game

We should have the Jeopardy theme song play during the pause 🤗

Nice game. Still waiting for that Steinitz saga. Any day now...

3rd pause the moment was definitely harder this time

#suggestion pajdo, nismo zaboravili na steinitz sagu. ima li kakav update, kada će se to dogoditi?

You should check out what Magnus did on Titled Tuesday!!

Regardless by knowing the name of this opening, I am playing this since 3 years and have very good results! Thanks Antonio to appreciate this!

Yoooooo🔥

❤❤❤

That was a great defense by black. The third pause the video was difficult.

My chess is improving got all the ideas in pause the moments for this game

Sending my best regards to Azerbaijan 🇦🇿. What a great game and great cover. Thank you!

Go to your bar, go to your library, show to all your friends sad passive cube of black's reality

Chess may be the mother tongue of Capablanca but it was food for Fischer.

Bd5 was the only one I saw straight away... with the rest of the sequence.

Pronunciation of Azerbaijan much appreciated. Like in Azerbaijani accent

Radical Radic❤

The sad, passive cube of Black’s reality. Lol.

9:56 I've watched three times and I still forget about our good friend the bishop 😒 😂

At 8:16, what if black plays ef4: instead of Qe6? After Rf4+ black can play Nf6 or Bf6?

I guess I am part of the group that thought the first was most difficult. I had chosen e6. But it was e4. And the other two were pretty easy once you see the discovery, on the second, and the king in the mating net on the 3rd.

Rf1 was easy to spot the Bd5 was difficult because it meant sacrificing the Bishop

As a d4 player, this was beautiful

@mubaraksenju7521

Literally the dream game. Just develop pieces, let the position open up and wins. Black doesnt even have that many counter play bcoz white just plays natural moves mostly. That f6 is really such a painful move.

9:15 - why not black queen to H3, stopping the white queen's intended move to h4?

#suggestion Please show our legendary Salim A Saleh matches as he represents our country UAE where the tournament is being played….

Thanks Antonio - nice game. I put the end of the game into Stockfish and it's only giving a 3 point advantage to White so maybe Black should not have resigned? ( White could have still made a mistake)

I think black underestimate the strength of e4 and the center opening up because of it.

11:50 What friends? What library?

Nice game without even watching it first. 😂

Slav Defense is the best opening for attacking players to destroy and exactly the reason why none plays it

Total decimation...imagine this position and your opponent has all the time to find the best moves😬

Same, the second one tricked me. I really wanted to open that f-file cause it seemed hopeless, but it really is opening a dam with no water to come thru 😂

Me in my head "I'd play F6" Agad "F6 is a huge imprecision, a blunder if you will." Glad I'm always reminded of why grandmaster status is not for me :)

I thought you were going to show some of the ladies Candidates?? Or did I miss something? Were there some great games??

got the last 2 pause the video!

Found the last two, but had no chance with the first. In the last two "pause the moment", there were key squares that threatened the king. Anyway, the name of the competition is a real clunky one. What even is this?

#suggestion Antonio, please invent an opening and call it the, "Uncle's Opening"

You didn't show why there was nothing more to be done like U usually do !

I heard a lot of grim stories about Rèti --> that he drank more than Aklekhine and Stolz, that he gambled like Browne, that he was woomenazer like Jannofsky and Ljubisabljević, but ihe ever ever spoke about Capablanca's mother in such way, I think it was most inappropriate to post it as a motto or to-day's thought. I resent it very much.
