Antonio is authentic, if not as polished as other channels. He’s the guy I would most want to hang out with among all of the people with chess channels.

This game was very magnificent. Alireza played like magnus. Slowly squeezing and turning his positional advantage to a tangible pawn advantage eventually creating a monster knight(which magnus is quite known for)

Me: *watches phone call* Antonio after phone call: You're welcome to skip the phone call

2:48 picking up the phone and not editing anything out is the most agadmator thing I’ve ever seen 😂

Good job Alireza. He's at least one of the few people who can put a slight dampener to Magnus's complete dominance.

The mailman is getting creative. In the past he used to knocks on the door

The prince that was promised

The only person who doesn't edit out a phone call is Antonio

He even adds a time stamp... 😂

You can tell alot of top chess players put in insane amount of work to maintain their level, whereas with Alireza hes just genius level talented.

People sometimes just forget how good alireza is just bcz he failed in the candidates. There are only 6 or 7 players to defeat carlsen in a online match since 2020 and he's one of them (this should be enough to judge).

@thefighterinhades

20 күн бұрын

I don't consider online matches as an accurate representation of over the board events. But yeah, Alireza has really been toned down by people just because he didn't perform very well in Candidates, but that doesn't take away the fact that he is a very very strong player among the super GMs, and anyhow he has still room to grow.

Love how life keeps interrupting Agad's chess endeavours....

In case any were wondering, that phone call was about Agad meeting up with some friends at the library after he finishes editing this video.

waiting for a Wei Yei Alireza match

So both players have beaten one another in various games. I'm proud to say Magnus has NEVER beaten me in a game. 😄

i just love the little interruptions now and then :D

I can’t hear Ali’s hater now, respect to both these guys. It was fun watching the match live

So nice to see someone finally stop Magnus. I was thinking that CCT format suits him too well cos it's so hard to beat him both best of 4 and 2 times, but at least someone has done it

I always wonder he doesnt prepare for his matches as opposed to other youngsters but now I wonder if Alireza needs preparation at all when he has got skills like that?

3:05 I love the commitment to one-take videos lol, please never stop being you agad :)

did magnus tweet yet he was disctracted by some watch or something, or has it taken it on the chin? great stuff by guccireza!

The moment Ive been waiting for. For Agad to cover the Magnus - Alireza match. Thanks again for the awesome coverage!

Placed by bet on NB7 and then Agad calls whoever found this move an engine player ... There is nothing and i mean nothing that boosts you ego just like this❤️

Love ❤you both Magnus and Ali Reza Firuza

@agadmator l enjoy watching this channel even so i dont play chess so much. i do suggest for enlarge the mouse curser on your pc, as i think it will be easuer for us to watch your moves. for me, takes time to identify the row and number so quickly.

The files and ranks are not difficult to learn myself after playing Chess since a youngster finally took the time to learn the Chess Notations about 3 or 4 years ago it’s quite easy actually I do understand how it could be a problem for you but Agadmator does a Great job I feel pretty much you just have to follow along as the pieces move I backtrack sometimes when I want to double check a move I might’ve missed Hope you stick with it

"You are welcome to skip the phone call" Stated matter-of-fact, 5 seconds after the phone call This channel made different. Keep up the good work!

TBF MVL did that to Magnus last year? He is human.

WONDER..FULL

Where are those guys who said Alireza is overrated loser after underperforming in candidates?

It is a great honour to be described as an engine by Agadmator for finding knight captures on B7 (I just assumed it was a free pawn...)

When Alireza's playing well, there is virtually nothing he cannot do. The problem is he hasn't been very consistent since 2022 because of the distractions around him. Also, it seems to be his Classical games that have taken more of a hit than faster formats. It could mean his natural talents are still there, but he just hasn't spent as much time as his should studying full-time, allowing his opponents to out-prepare him in Classical.

That call was with Magnus to confirm how much time he had as black

I totally misunderstood Agadmator 🙂 " Completely winning. I was looking for combinations. Found non. 1.C4 Nb6 2. Qxf4 many options

Knight captures on b7 looked like the only continuation but I have no idea what would follow 😂

I somehow really enjoy how he always says 'here he resigns', followed by some information, and just then explaining why he resigned and ending the video like that.

Impressive

Ahh the Berlin-package-ready is on the board, thanks for not editing

First time, i found both knight captures, and pawn push on the pause the video moment.

The new camera is looking great. 👍

Classical is not the best format for ali obviously. great talen still tho

i found knight to b7 because its the only take with the knight i can see

Antonio’s attack: Agad is the best variation

No one is ready for prime Alireza , He'll be like Bobby Fisher reborn.

It seems to have been a very long time since we heard from the mailman! I wonder if anyone has compiled lists of videos featuring the mailman, the pizza man or the ubiquitous bar and library friends?

Seems Alireza wants more than the world crown...

Magnus starting to show some wear and tear. Alireza earned this one. Agad we luv u and ur phone ran mail business.

4:34 😂😂😂😂 pure gold

I'll take being compared to an engine every day of the week, there are few compliments like that to a chess player

Call gambit accepted

Please include a slow motion replay in your next video @agadmator

From all recollections this man was truly a light into this dark world. If any positive can come from this situation I pray Amber has asked for forgiveness and found grace

Nxb7 isn't hard to identify as a candidate move. Figuring out why it works, namely why you can get away with it, takes quite a bit more time.

2:49 he has 1.3 mil subs lol what a legend

Isnt Nxb7 the first kind of move you look at? A pawn is hanging and it comes with an attack on a rook. Course lining up that rook with our queen makes it look bad and dismiss it, but still.

hahah no need for an editor my man! The best in live commentary!

8:05 I found that knight move, my logic was "free pawn and I attack rook" I'm so engine like

Incredible!

Magnus is currently studying the phonecall variation invented by Agadmator. Heard rumors Levi Rozman is writing a book with critical lines in the variation 😂😂

Fall of the Viking

Hahaha! The most suprising thing in your video was the phone call ! Thats unheard of! :D

Looks like magnus place bigger bet than 30000 on alireza

Mail man interrupts being a time stamp is sending me lmaoo

Ahh yes, the classic mail man variation. Hasn't been played since the times of Murphy.

The mailman gambit was surprising. Glad agad accepted it.

My moves are beyond Carlsen's understanding - Alireza

I DID actually find Nd7, though I don't get what's special about it, seems to me that it's just taking a pawn xD.

Question: Is it the same mailman coming every time?

Many blessings bud- have a great day

Nice to see AF bounce back from his Candidate’s debacle …

Actually, Alireza called to say A Big Thank You

The phone call should be its own short

We need the "sorry about that" shirts 😂

Stopping Magnus tournaments' streak, Alireza is a badass 💀

Wow. Love Alireza's play. Hope he continues and doesn't end up like Gata Kamsky.

that's the biggest flex to have mailman number

Riza is playing well, but for the candidate tournament, I think he will be nervous and that's exactly why he makes mistakes and plays bad games.

7:58 Haha knight captures for me wasn't cause I play like an engine... I'm just l like "hey, free pawn".😅😂

Did he just answer the phone? First time seeing this.🤣😂. Still my favorite chess channel.

Gary was the king of these tactical positions

This Mailman is just terrorising Antonio for years

good one

I didn't realise he not only went 4 game's without losing but also won 3 out of the 4 against Magnus?

The mailman got his righteous comeback

It is now as of move 12 that we have a new incoming call

I *did* find B7 capture, but fuck if I know what to do next after that...
