This guy goes so deep into the hypothetical situations that i forget lol

[gabrielesimionato]

10:30 "this is the greatest move of all times, I'll give you a couple of seconds to find out"
Wow, you really have a great opinion about your followers!

"now find the most brilliant move in chess history"
me a 700 rated player: sure why not

[NeyoBearGaming]

I literally guessed the move because I thought of the most counter-intuitive move possible.

[westprogamer]

I did not find it because I thought it was white's turn to move, yeah I know I am a prodigy.

[lukacalov]

Stockfish 6 couldnt find this move but everyone in the comments are Bobby Fisher himself as far as i can see

[fanatKupa]

The greatest move in chess history: Shirov vs. Topalov. The greatest game in chess history: Kasparov vs. Topalov. Poor Topalov.

[THEGLORYRISING]

incredible move that forces the win, I'm pretty sure as shirov placed that bishop down on h3 he jumped up in disgust, "Argh I didn't see that pawn, damn!" then continued "Just kidding, mate in 25 sucker".

[cnelsonlv]

I was actually able to find this move, which leads me to conclude that it wasn't the greatest move in chess history.

[technowey]

The greatest move in chess history was your decision to start this channel!
Thanks for another great video.

I didn't find the move. I only looked a few seconds. I guessed it was d4, but I didn't find the continuation for that move. I knew it would look like a bad move from the buildup.

By the way, at 6:16, after PXN the White queen is not hanging, although it is bad for white to capture the knight.

[gfweis]

That was easy to find, as it was the only way to sacrifice the bishop, which was the only move that could in principle make it the "greatest move in chess history." :)

[akshaylm]

Agadmator is THE BEST chess channel on Youtube.

[nikolajosic]

i fucking found the move. after having a horrible day, this really lightened up my mood, thank you brother

[pulguinha]

it takes stockfish 14 at depth 30 to spot Bh3, but in the end, it's the top engine line for SF14, so props to Shirov, for finding such an amazing move

[arnavsrivastava]

0:21 check out the captions when he tries to say Vishwanathan Anand.
Also checkout the captions at 0:27.

[jersker]

Your dedication to chess and making videos is inspirational! Keep it up! youre the man

[funutation]

thanks for saying you're going to pause the video, and then giving us a moment to determine if we really wanna pause because I always say "yes, no, yes, no, YES" :-)

[Darraghxx]

The greatest move in Chess history was Magnus Carlsen picking up Liv Tyler for a walk in the park.

[innesbarrett]

I figured out the move but only because I immediately expect a ridiculous sacrifice every time.

[barwlface]

Eh, the Wooden Shield is a bit stronger, but not bad.
