    Agad uploads the vids so fast that Magnus can check how the endgame unrolls before going for the game. That's why he's often late.

    It really reminded me of the early AlphaZero games where it would simply (with extreme complexity) suffocate its opponent – leaving them with little to no moves to play. The standard of this game is so high, you would never think it was a rapid game.

    Hello! I looked at your videos and also created a chess channel. Already 3 subscribers! 🙂

    I wish you success!

    Position is equal but your oppinent is Magnus? Just resign and save your strength.

    Agad has been uploading as many as 4 videos in one day, and yet I have still found time to watch them, and in the off hours return to his old postings 4, 5, and 6 years ago. His evolving performance and his decisions for making his channel the way it is clearly visible and explained. I learn more by the older matches as I continue to keep up with the new ones.

    Any opponent: "alright, let´s trade down and go to the endgame"
    Magnus: "are you sure about that?"

    Well, Antony posted it, so, it has to be said.

    Yet, Once Again,

    Jealousy much, Nepo The Buffoon
    Back-To-Back World Chess Championship Loser ?!?

    ماغنس لا يُهزم … ماغنس لا يرحم

    An epic battle of the Knights in the chess board!

    There was no better game than this? Appreciate Magnus turning slight missteps by opponents into wins. Deja Vu. This is one of the few games you have shown, that I found, a bit lackluster.

    A horse and pawn endgame against Magnus seems to be a near impossible task. Well done, and thanks for the video.

    The game really touched the heart

    Agad question here i have seen this positions a lot many times what is the reqson u say only 2 to 3 games reached this position

    You should make a video about a grandmaster that lost in 8 moves it was talked about in the chat on chess24 and they went over to that game and saw that the grandmaster got mated in 8 moves

    Excellent endgame instruction. See note below! This opening [8.b3] was played by Vidit vs Sychev in the 2022 World Blitz & Vidit won after 53 moves. The only other game in the 2500+DB with 8.b3 was a draw after 18 moves. So it looks like Magnus has something for Vidit 🙂 Magnus' 9…Bb7 leaves one game in my Mega DB, but neither player have a rating. 10…Nbd7 transposes to 7 games, of which 2 were played by 2400+ players & White won one & drew one. The other 5 games continued with either 11.Rfd1 or 11.cxd5. Vidit plays 11.Rfd1 & Magnus' 11…Qe7 has 3 games in which White only scored 33.3% 13.Qf4 has been played in two games: Xiong vs. Bruzon 1/2 & Itkus vs. Zubco 1/2. It is with Magnus' 14…Ba6 that we have a "new" game & Stockfish says position is equal, however, it doesn't like Vidit's 15.g4 & although it's equal, it scores it about -0.25 for Black. However, Magnus' move of knight to h5 returns it to equal & it's GAME TIME! They played Stockfish moves #1-#4 choice until Vidit's 53rd, which gave Magnus a 1.97 advantage.

    Another Very nice review by Antonio. I break down my database [DB] by player ELO & it's updated every week. My DB of players 2500+ has 4…Bxd2 as #4 choice, but White only scores 58.3% vs the 59.7% White scores after 4…a5, which is #3 choice in DB. When I look in the 2600+DB, 4…Bxd2 is the #2 choice amongst players & White scores 59.3%, exactly what it scores after 4…Be7 which is most common move by 2600+ players. White scores much higher after 5.Nxd2 in both the 2500+ & 2600+ DB. 6…d5 transposes to the only line left in 2500+ DB [57 games] & White scores 57.9%. I don't know what happened, but 7…c6 is not a new move. I have 56 games in my 2500+ DB [#2 choice] & White scores the lowest [53.7%] after it's played by Black.

    And this is why he has a personal lounge jajajaj

    With all these little dogs Magnus only needs to change the pieces and win any ending…in the style of Capablanca or Karpov.

    Position is equal but you were born in a home without a toilet.

    Why is Magnus sometimes rated 2800 and sometimes 3200 in your videos?

    This man deserves more subscribers, but I don't know why it's still 1.31M. Levy has got more than 4.5M

    Brkng back Agadmator rapid games

    Once again a move with the knight back weirds the opponent out. Also, b4 weakens the a4 pawn since the knight can journey to b2 via the c4 square. Nobody plays like this in classical, let alone rapid!

    Position is equal but my opponent is Magnus? So you mean like it's start of the game and I'm probably gonna lose in 6 moves?

    No no no. Never go a pawn down to “the man”. EVER

    That H pawn was just asking for it. You don't dare Magnus like that.

    Make video about Levon game against Aleksander Shimanov. Its nice one.

    Hikaru once said that Magnus is the best at turning equal/draw-ish positions into winning positions, he said one minute you are playing an objectively drawing position, next minute you are fighting to survive

    POV : your position is equal but you opponent is Magnus

    This title assumes I can't lose a game that's in my favor

    I not getting notification from your channel 😮😢

    The speed at which Agad uploads is unparalleled, truly we are lucky to have him

    Welp, the part "but Your Opponent Is Magnus" is enough we don't need the rest of the sentence!

    Damn bro! Didn't this game end just a couple of minutes ago?

    At this upload speed, Vidit might be thinking this is a draw while his game is on and might be confused on why has Agadmator already made this video
