Even if he regains the exchange, the point of the exchange sacrifice was for massive activity. Regaining the exchange would only remove black's very strong dark square bishop for a rook that is stuck defending a pawn.

Thank you agadmator's Chess Channel. You are getting very close to 1 Million subscribers. Keep up the good work.

I usually watch these videos when I wake up in the morning, because nothing puts you in a better mood than a good game of chess.

I remember when this great channel only had 30,000 subscribers! 1 million will be coming any day now. Well done Antonio

awesome calm defence from giri though!

Agadmator never makes any mistakes since he's like a supercomputer. How even grandmasters aren't able to decipher on their own why a certain move was played by a supercomputer, but it's the best move. In the same way us mere mortals won't be able to tell the reason behind why "quite" was written as "quote". But it's still correct. Feel free to pause the video and try to figure out why. You can take even days and come back later as it's such a deep move by agad it will be very hard to find the reason.

Thx for showing the end👍🤣🇳🇴

This match features very instructive end game.

Bog. You got me so interested in Chess thank you

"They say if you don't sacrifice the exchange on c3 in the najdorf, are you even playing the najdorf? No one actually says that." Never change, Antonio. Never change.

09:20 Impossible to be the mailman, as Medo kept the tension by using the sneaky sleeping move, a trade mark on Medo's repertoire.

I think that position where the game ended in resignation actually makes a nice little endgame puzzle. Perhaps not a grandmaster level puzzle, but a nice puzzle anyway. Very easy for beginners to misplay it.

A great game between two almost-equal Chess Masters. Thks.

"when you play the Najdorf, you are quoting famous chess players"

Thanks for endgame, teach a lot!

Mind blowing thanks 🙏

When Agad asked what to play, I thought Bishop f4 was the correct answer. Then the mailman came.

Najdorf really taking a beating in this tournament.

i hope Rapport will get into the top 10 and invited to events more and then you can cover him finally :D

Anyone realised agad typed quote invincible at the top

King is within the square of the pawns. Important concept to know.

At the top of the screen, it is written "quote invincible".

clearly, the king was faster than two pawns. It is something new we saw in this game!

The mailman variation is strong, but the "sorry about that" variation is pretty good too

Winning is the new " draw " for Anish Giri

Im still a newbie to chess, is it really najdorf something good to be played ?

Nice quote from Nigiri-san

05:10 False, totally false, you just said it, now you are writing your name into the Chess Chronicles forever

In the table, can some explain what TPR and SB represent? I am supposing that TPR means something like "touranment provisional rating." But SB I am not sure. It definitely is something to do with the standings, but how it works... I don't know.
