Game That Broke The Internet

Let’s just congratulate Agadmator on never having ads during the videos ❤

This game was full of "Call the ambulance! But not for me." moments 😎

That king walk to the other side of the board that led to the two kings virtually chilling next to each other is hilarious. What a game.

Always love the excitement Antonio has when b4 is played

I went right past the library to the bar after watching this game. There was nothing more that could be done!

"do it for Steve" - even Agad found his own humour funny at that point

They agreed on 69,true gentlemen

This is more complicated than all of the games I ever played combined.

8:58 now comes pawn to b4...incredible. Just when you need it, it's always there. :)

Apparently, when Stockfish saw this game it said "Fuck that, I am switching to fishing!", flipped the table and stormed out of the room.

“And White doesn’t miss this opportunity. Or rather he does, but not by a lot.” 😂

Wow! I've never seen a game where both sides are threatening checkmates and both sides are threatening pawn promotions, all at once.

After this game was shown, the bar went reverently silent and the library erupted in cheers.

2:29 "It doesn't even have to be a good move, he'll just play it."
If there ain't once singular sentence that describes my chess career.

I live literally 20 minutes from where this was played and had no idea, my mind was blown in the intro when Naperville got name dropped. Great video as always

I think an explanation as to why his nickname is Steve is more complicated than the game itself

Draw is the best conclusion for this game, now I can watch this match for 100 of times without any regret.

This is one of these rare games that I feel really happy for ending in a draw!

Agadmator, I just want to say that in my opinion, your Chess Channel, is the greatest Chess Channel that I have ever come across. I enjoy every single video of yours!! I cannot believe as you explained that Ferero didn't see that move on 07:00 to win the game for white?! This game as you said was highly confusing!!

"If you can solve this, you are literally the greatest players to be watching chess videos on youtube". 🤣🤣🤣

I cant play chess very good. Its so fun to watch the elite in this way. Thanks.

Not what i imagined `steve´ from the US would look like.

This was a fantastic game, thank you for showing it and thanks to the person who suggested it.

I haven't smiled and gasped and laughed and enjoyed the thrill that is chess in some time. I was dancing in my chair the whole time!! edit: and a cherry on top, 69 moves, nice.

Now you are the greatest chess player ever to Show these games on KRplus.

Hi Agadmator and fellow chess players! I grew up playing against Steve in tournaments in grade school; he was a whiz! I believe his given first name is pronounced “Tian-chee” but I'm not sure. Really cool to see my old friend on your channel! I asked him about it and he said he was winning "trillions of times" haha

In my early A-player days we used to play such games that only computers could appreciate...you had to be good enough & bad enough for them!

“I’ll play the Caro Kann: that will lead to a nice steady safe game…”

I actually liked it, love the breakdowns in your vids

It's like they just agreed "you know what, we've both done enough here..."

I was looking through my bookshelf the other day and seeing all of the old books I had, I laughed.
It was then I noticed behind a wall of paperbacks my old encyclopedias--books silverfish riddled and made obsolete by today's modern search engines.
Feeling nostalgic and lamenting my lost past, I grabbed the alphabetically labelled book with the "I" on its spine and pulled it out.
Deranged and morbid, I flipped to the entry for "Insane."
There it was found, by the rather perturbed and addled me, a game of chess played by Escobar vs Wang.
And so it was.

Mind-Blowing... ! Thank you Antonio!

Probably the greatest player ever... To watch chess videos on KRplus 😂

The black queen on a1 went from being the most threatening piece on the board to the most useless, and then back to the most threatening.

The amount of checks delivered in this game were more than my entire semester....... Maths marks
Edit :First time in my life my comment has got so many likes I thank you so much to you all alot 🥹

"To those of you who are still here at the end..."
Haha as if I've ever stopped one of these excellent videos halfway through in my life.

Sick Game AGAD!!! Enjoyed

“It would make sense to keep away the black queen with rook to E5 but uh.. then we probably wont have this game.“ Legend 😅

What a wild ride. Many glorious "only moves" for this show enjoyer.

this is the type of game, where your brain can equate and compute the old quote that chess parallels life. So many different portals for ones rabbit-hole to transpire. the different possibilities of roads taken n not taken. Always, and thankfully, something to learn.

I try to take away concepts and not particular epic moves, as its much easier to understand a basic concept than find a winning move in some random position. What I took away from this game at the end there was how powerful centralizing your queen on an open board is.

I am literally addicted to agadmators this two word "Hello Everyone "

"Kg8 allows white to get back in the game and white doesn't miss this opportunity... rather he does... but not by a lot". lol. Very fun game. Very difficult find the moves. And nice ending move.

Fun fact: Alder Escobar Forero is currently the president of the Colombian Chess Federation; he comes from Pereira, the same small city where GM Alonso Zapata was born...Alonso holds the record of the fastest win against a TOP 10 history Grand Master Champion: Zapata vs Anand (Biel 1988) 🎉

Great game. Didn't get the move but enjoyed the game so much. Thanks for your wonderful channel.

Another fantastic coverage by Agadmator!

If there was a completely new chess piece (which can can only move on odd Sundays, by 12 squares forward) introduced into the game by the move 40, it wouldn't even make it more complicated. It just cannot be.

One thing i am glad you appreciate is just how Mikhail tal was brilliant
Thank you for introducing me to him

I think game winning queen moves are the most complicated yet most beautiful moves in all of chess

Agadmator, you sell this game like a priest sells heaven. Well done !

I think it's worthwhile to explain, why Ka2 loses and Kb2 holds. The difference is, that after Kb2 Qe4; Rg3+ Kf2; Rc3 the white rook can go to c2 as he is supported by the king on b2.

Thanks for making a 15+ min video.

This game is a truly masterpiece

Piece of art.
Salvador Tali.

My head hurts after watching this game incredible how fascinating chess is

Agad I love your videos and I am a true fan of yours.. I just have a humble suggestion if you could increase the duration of your analysis to around 15 mins because 10 mins each game just doesnt suffice #suggestion

Ah man... I live in Naperville and passed by this every day when it was going on but wasn't aware of it. Wish I would've known so I could have observed.

I feel like I was beaten up in an alley.

After 58:Rc3 to reach the "there is only one winning move" position at 11:34, would love to see an analysis of Black playing d4

Sir, you are just amazing! Love from Brazil 😁

Never knew Mr bean played chess

wanted to tell you that your level of content is beautiful :) just like when you made me meet chess

"The greatest chess player to watch chess videos on KRplus" 😂😂

This is such a great game! Exciting and challenging all the way until the end! ;-)

It was the comedy of errors, more than an "ultra-complicated" game.

I finished watching it without any disgust. Good game.

Hi Agad, big fan. I was one of the participants in this tournament and commented this game for chess life magazine march edition, wondering if it inspired to show you this game?
Much love
Gauri

What a rollercoaster! Great game!

great game from both players

best chess channel in the universe so honest

There were 69 moves and 70 checks made in this game.

This game broke me!! My club members will be thrilled!

Very enjoyable full of fun, thx alot

It twisted my mind 69 times as well.

I love that a Croatian knows how to pronounce Illinois properly but more than half of the US doesn't.

He says find the winning move not the winning line. So I accept the praise for solving the pause the video moments. Its the praise I need. Not the one I deserve

agadmator you are the best

Philippine women's chess #suggestion - WGM Janelle Frayna, the female Wesley So, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz.
There's a 12-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here.
[Variant "From Position"]
[FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"]
1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qf7 Bf6 7. Qe8+ Kc7 8. Qc8+ Kd6 9. e5+ Qxe5 10. d8=R+ Bxd8 11. Qxd8+ Kc6 12. Qa8+ Kd7
For some reason none of the Philippine channels even cover this game. LOL. But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on.
P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See

on move SIXTY-NINE.... Agadmator is a man of culture

Can you imagine how mentally drained both players would be after that one. I have been in one or two games like this long ago over the board with no clock. Games like this drain your soul if you don't win them.

Hey, I am "one of the greatest chess players to ever watch chess videos on youtube." I feel proud

#suggestion Rashid vs Timofeev 1970. Antonio plz show this game... spectacular, mind boggling game.

on 1st Pause - Qe5 should be met with R(c3)e3+, Ke2, Re8 and it's a draw by perpetual check or black has to give up queen for the pawn - I don't have an engine may be your analysis is correct but I am curious -- you should have shown both rook moves

4:05 Oh, the Nc2 looks soooo nice. I've just checked why it's so bad you didn't even notice it and I feel bad right now xD

Wow coincidence I was going to request more Mikhail Tal games the Magician he is one of my favorites to watch up there with Fisher

At 10:51 a simpler win for Black than ...a2 is ...Qb3+/QxQ, ab3+/Kxb3, a2.

Chess never cease to amaze me :)

Splendid game ! I still have all my brain intact. Well, if not, I wouldn't even notice, so...

This is the best game i've seen in years

I'm literally watching this video....ON THE INTERNET....so empirically, said game did not break the internet.

"a game played perfectly is always a draw"

the position of the ka2 blunder should totally be in a chess puzzle

Thanks for mentioning the move no. 69😂😂

Such a great game I had to stop the video to take a mental break.

Humans - amazing game
Stockfish - fascinating behavior

as a 900 rated elo player and spoted the Pause video 2 moment I actually feel proud about myself :)

I don’t think the match was this complicated.It's always you who makes all the games this much complicated by calculating all the possible outcomes...and we all actually enjoy this too much...😁♥️♥️

I need 0.75x to follow because of the many complex standings. Amazing game.

Such a crazy game

Never seen more complicated game 😮
