If the knight is stronger than 2 rooks then that knight probably belongs to the world champion

Agadmator is the only one i know apologizing for making "only" one video per day

[ElukasOrchid]

Literally every other youtuber : Sorry guys but im gonna be cutting back and only uploading once a month instead of once a weak.
Agadmator : So sorry guys but im only gonna be uploading once a day for some time.

"There is nothing that a rook likes more than an isolated pawn".

[yeeshusrivastava]

Every agadmator's video is like a new episode of our favourite season.

[michaellauer]

I admit, sometimes I get distracted by other business on my desk while these videos play. Here's what I vaguely heard while working on something else:
of course, white is now up the exchange
of course, white is better here
of course, white is better here
of course, white is better here
....
and it was at this point that white resigned.
Wait, what?

Magnus: I don’t believe in fortresses
Also Magnus: creates an impenetrable fortress with knight and pawns

[MrFildur]

Love your commentary. Dont burn out!! Better fewer and you 100%

Keep up awesome job :-)

9:53 "There's nothing that a rook likes more than an isolated pawn"
*and an open file

[Yoni-boy-lc]

"Carlsen is more of a knight man" previos video

[mattblue]

Love your content Agadmator, started watching in 2017 while on deployment and haven’t stopped since!

[Idn]

That endgame was impressive and well calculated i thought it would be a draw but converted into a win

[Scofield]

Agad: Engine didnt enjoy the rook captures knight move because it thinks its not a best move
Me: But magnus enjoyed it as he himself is a engine

[Hahahahaaahaahaa]

One video per day is more than we deserve! You're the best agadmator, thanks for all the coverage during these times!

[timespaice]

13:39 When a pawn move is stronger than CheckMate itself. I can feel Xiaong in pain and disgusted while Carlsen is tasting his tears. If this happen to Nakamura, I’m pretty sure he would fall asleep on his desk waiting for his time to drop. Just terrible.

[debarchanbose]

Legends say agad's next video's title : "When a pawn is stronger than the Queen || Carlsen vs

[electrowizard]

What's best about this channel is how Agad tells why the moves were or weren't played by showing the continuation and it is so useful that I always try to find games on his channel after I watch them somewhere else otherwise it gets really hard to understand why the player resigned

[Bluth]

Thank you for the endgame opposition lesson agad! Very much appreciated! :)
