and it was in this moment, at 2:05 the camera zoomed in, as there seems to be a GOAT🐐

The camera is already a character from the channel at this point, and it has such great comedic timing

Love the dramatic camera zoom. Always on good time.

The fastest ever dramatic zoom on move 2!

Thanks Agad, I almost forget that it’s 2024 now and not 1967.

Mailman saga will be very interesting. Will he challenge the world champion? Will he fall into obscurity afer underperforming? We need to know!

11:08 "Crushing the French defense is something that I very gladly show on this channel... for no particular reason." 😂

This new camera business is way funnier than it should be. It kind of reminds me of Mr. Bean.

Agad: ...the French defense Camera: oui oui!

Camera defense is quite an effective opening for procrastinating miniatures. As you can see, it clearly take the player some time to deal with this. Also I wish Bf6 before resigning could be explained, isn't such a simple line.

Paul morphy only played for a year and a half?! Wtf what a legend😮

2:09 This is certainly going in the agadmator hall of fame

the man knows no edits

Nominated for an Oscar for cinematography. Good luck!

I read that a BBC docudrama on Michael Adams is in the works staring Richard Gere as Adams. Although Gere is a bit older than Adams, he does share a rough facial resemblance to Adams. And with the right stage makeup, I think he can pull it off quite well. I can't wait to see it!

But what to call it? Hmm.... "The Double (Sacrifice)" "An Chess Player and a Gentleman" "Runaway Pawn" "American Gigachess" "Second Knight" "Shall We Horse Around?" "Chess-cago" "Final Engine Analysis" "Move 43"

the main problem back then was the sounds and then now the camera whahaha

Damn Agad, tough times never last, but tough people do!

That was some awesome board control he achieved on his own side, very instructional

2:03 And it is at this move, that we have a completely new view of agad's face :-)

Thank you Agadmetor for reminding me it is 2024 , I almost thought I came to the wrong time.

2:05 the camera went from agadmator to AGADMATOR and I enjoyed that very much 😂❤

The Zoom Gambit followed by the Pan Attack. Classic.

im really digging the dramatic zooms ty ai

Agad looking real majestic today

I loook forward to your next session playing rapid on lichess, as I still wanna see the analysis from those games. You played like morphy himself in them!

HB Paul Morphy. I tease his line 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 exd5 4.c4 in the French Exchange.

The level of zoom thrills since the new camera is off the charts! Spectacular!!

Wow I really found the move.. yeayy

I wanna be inside your mind though, zoom back in all the way until it’s just your eyeballs explaining the video😂

Hello Agad, I was wondering if you could show us a video of your ``immortal game``, the game you played that you are most proud of. That would be cool

Sorry about that. 🤣

I honoured Morphy!

I know it’s losing if you play it but if you play bishop to f6 in the end is there a forced checkmate win or just endgame win.

I miss seeing Meadows in the background.)

6:19 ah yes diagonally moving pawn

It may look like a pawn, but it's a monster Bishop in disguise-waiting for the perfect moment to drop its mask.

Gorgeous gameplay by Michael Adams. Really elegant stuff

Everyone else: well since there are so many problems with the camera and the speakers in the video and it's only 3 minutes in I'll just restart the video... Agadmator:

HAH! That zoom-in @2:04 was fantastic. SCTV 3D House of Chess! You should do that when you do your "stop the video" segments!

I found the #only move for the first time after being subscribed for 5 years; for the first time, without even pausing the video!😮

A good saga could be Karpov at the 1974 Candidates Tournament, when the new kid on the block crushed the masters of the 60's

Everyone waiting for agad

Against the french defense I play f4, la bourdannais variation. I didn't know anything about the french defense when I first played against it, but now I only have one line that I have ever played. I know it well but nothing else in the French...

I got the PTVM - it was easy. Great game.

Redo some Morphy games with better analysis and quality of video than a few years back

You’re at the wrong place for any of that. Thankfully.

Aah I remember the Paul Morphy uploads, that was a great time to be alive

Bruh. This one is making the highlight reel. Thank you Antonio.

Wow Michael Adams achieved his impressive peak elo (2761) at the age of 41!

Antonio i have suggested some games to you from the soussse zonal international 1967 in the previous videos. If possible please show those. They feature great openings. 😢 #suggestion

The camera should do the occasional zoom in whenever anyone plays b4!!

I would love a compilation and timestamps of the camera inserting itself as a main character in these videos.

After e5-e6, what about Be7 to f6?

I will remember this game to my last breath , I mean this crazy ass camera zooming :D

When the camera does a dramatic pan-in close-up you know shit's about to get real

Everything is TEMPORARY,but feel free to pause the video and try to find the winning continuation here is PERMANENT 😂

This is why you don’t back your light squared bishop next to the king in that position.

The new camara zooms are amazing!🎉

Happy Birthday Paul morphy the great

I found the combo at the end, but I thought capturing the rook first was better so black doesn't have the chance to initiate the capture himself and avoid a fork. Now when the knight takes the bishop it's winning the queen.

We still want to see you cover the Morphy-Barnes vs Staunton-Owen games

Wow. When Adams unleashed the attack it was quickly over.

Happy Birthday Paul Morphy❤❤

#Suggestion: please also start a new Saga. Missing them

first chess book I ever read….The Genius of Paul Morphy. Great mind!

#suggestion 1:49 show that fischer game featuring the frenchDefense!! request.

Great Attack

Advanced french is always fun to watch

Best ever "sorry about that" 😂😂😂

Happy Birthday legend

Thank You for birthday wishes! Namaskar prostrations and love for You!

Amazing.....

#suggestion 2:03 we need a best of Agadmator compilation of golden moments like this for us to enjoy

The camera is searching for morphy head😂

I found the killer move..So happy 😂

😂😂😂 that zoom

Camera finds the winning move in 2:03 and that is zoom to d4 😅

Great game 🙂

After Pawn E6, Bishop F6 can be played

So ehmm.. started with sorry about that and finished with sorry about that!

Agad, maybe your camera reacts to gestures?

@2:48 "Sorry about that." This is an ongoing gag by our host? It seems like in every-other video he says "Sorry about that", leans over and performs a mystery process, and never says what he did, or what it is that he is sorry about. Anyone know what he is doing when he leans over?

Why is the title happy birthday paul morphy and morphy isnt part of the video

The camera sent me 😭

a very nice game

Can someone explain what is a miniature? In chess obviously as agad say in the beginning

Hey Agad I think your camera zooms in when you move your fingers within its viewing range. I observed this in this video and did observe that in one another one before. Perhaps something to do with recalibrating background-foreground.

#suggestion Morphy / Barnes vs Staunton / Owen Consultation game (1858), London ENG, Jul-?? Scandinavian Defense: Ilundain Variation (B01) · 1-0

“Gorlami.” “Say it again?” “Gorlami.” “Again, please.” “Gor-lam-mi.”

#suggestion Idk where the game is or if you covered it but did you show his game against a family member that ended in checkmate by castling

I always wanted a close up of Antonio’s forehead.

What happens if bf6 in the final position

Please don't fix the camera! It's so funny when it randomly zoom in like crazy

Oh my bad I just seen the continuation !!!

👍🏻👍🏻

Hi y'all!

8:14 Qxg5 +- edit: sleepy me watched the next two seconds and realised it's checkmate

Ok I maybe be new to chess but at the 8:14 mark when Bishop captures, why not White Queen captures black Queen ???

Sorry about that is always common 😊😂
