@CrustyTeddy phuu, you were quick! 😂 thank you!

@Bejitajap Thank you for your comment. I've been looking at the position for a while now and the first question I always ask myself is: Would I rather be the player of the black or the white pieces? Well, the white pieces are by far more active and exert maximum pressure on the black kingside. The e6-square represents an extreme weakness in the position. d6-d5 seems to be forced, because on e6-e5 the black-squared bishop simply moves to e3 and Black shifts his problems. The black pieces are defensively positioned and get in each other's way more than they can actively influence the action. I also think that as soon as the knight comes from c3 towards the centre/king's wing, a loss of material is inevitable. So as far as I can tell in my humble opinion, there's no direct threat to the black king in sight yet, but there will be a loss of material soon and the game will be lost as a result. How do you see it? I think the player with the black pieces resigned at the right moment.

@@WorldOfChessTournaments Oh I see! That made sense after reading your explanation, and thinking about it some more. Black clearly foreseen an inevitable loss, so cut it short when he did. Thank you for your well thought out, and clear response. Have a Happy New Year, friend.

@Bejitajap I have you to thank and I also wish you a happy new year! 🎆🎇

@nuclearthreat545 That makes me very happy! I feel exactly the same way. He may not have been the best chess player of all time; there are many different opinions here, but he was definitely the most brilliant player of all time. His innovations are more relevant today than ever: - Higher prize money for the players - Chess clocks that tick according to his idea (time increment) and finally no more hanging games. If anyone still knows that today 😀 - And let's not forget what now seems to be becoming more and more popular: Fischer Random Chess or 960 Chess. Even if it sounds exaggerated, you could say that Bobby Fischer sacrificed his life for chess.

@NemripNGC Thank you so much!

@OGS2099 Hello dear chess friend. First of all I would like to thank you for your subscription - thank you very much! I've now checked the game against the database and Black's last move Rxf3 was indeed the last move. Fischer has to hit back, no matter what, and he would have a whole rook down after the exchange of blows. Even if you consider that this chess game was a simultaneous game, it was still a remarkable performance by Diebert. I hope you will enjoy the other games, as there are many more to come. I wish you lots of fun and enjoy! 😀

@WorldOfChessTournaments Thank you. Very kind of you. I look forward to more of your videos

Thank you for your comment. I haven't left anything out. Queen g6 was Magnus' last move and Ian then resigned. By the way, I watched those games live and they were extremely exciting and thrilling chess games - wow! I hope you have a lot of fun with the upcoming games - enjoy!

Thank you! There's much more to come!

Many thanks for your positive feedback! And also thank you for your background info - Thank you!

Thank you very much for your comment. Unfortunately, I don't have the playing strength to judge endgames of this class. But this rook ending looks extremely exciting and Benko was probably hoping for a mistake from Fischer right up to the end. After all, he wasn't completely without counterplay. Still very exciting!

Thank you for your comment. The question mark on the first move appears because Stockfish does not seem to recognise quickly enough that it is already a new game. To be honest, this bothers me too, but I have not been able to find anything in the settings that changes this behaviour. In any case, it looks quite unusual when a question mark appears at 1.e2-e4, which reminds me of Bobby Fischer's quote ‘Best by test.' The only solution that has occurred to me is to buy an even more powerful computer. I'm already saving up for it and hope that this annoying symbol will have disappeared by the first move. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the games and will continue to watch them.

Thank you very much! You are legend!

Thank you for your comment. You're right, of course: chess games with commentary are more entertaining. But I'm sure others can do it much better than me, because I call myself a patzer compared to other players commentating on YT. I also have to say that I produce the videos in my spare time and if you look at how many videos I've already uploaded, you can also see that it's simply impossible to annotate these games as well. Nevertheless, thank you for your well-intentioned comment and I hope you'll continue to watch my videos. Enjoy! 😀

Yes, you're absolutely right. It was three repetitions of the move (Rc5, Kd4). I hope you like the games. If so, there are many more to come. 😀

Thank you very much for your comment. You're right: this video is indeed a little too slow. However, this is due to the number of moves. So in short games, the move frequency is slower than in longer games. Nevertheless, I hope you like the games and I appreciate every thumbs up. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I can't give you an answer. But I wish I could play half as well as they do. Personally, I think the nerves are extremely tense in these games. For me, every game is a pleasure and contains good and instructive ideas that I would never have thought of myself. I hope you like the games and I appreciate every thumbs up. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what you mean.

Got me angry

How?

I'm sorry if this game has made you angry... My aim is to bring joy to all chess fans on this planet with these historical chess games. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy my other games. There will be many more!

@@WorldOfChessTournaments ok

Thank for your comment. I am not sure what you mean exactly but I guess you cannot see the result at the end of the game, right? If that's the case then I have to move the result in the middle of the board so it will be seen on every type of phone. Please let me know if that is what you mean because for me everything looks ok and you are the first one speaking about a "missing end". Thank you!

Hi Ethan, how are you? May I ask you who your favorit chess player is?

@ I’m doing great thank you for asking, me favorite chess player is magns and hekaruy

@@EthanHappytalks You have good taste. You can really learn a lot from these players. TOP!!!

Hello 👋

Welcome back 🤣

Of course... you love chess. Like I do. 😀

I watch top chess

Then this is the right channel for you - enjoy! 😀

Dubov

In this game the player with the white pieces won the game - so Praggnanandhaa scored the point. 😉

Yesss! Yesss! Yesss!

No as

Thank you for your comment. There has been a new 3-minute short format on RUclips since October. I think that's a long enough time for chess games. Let's see. Enjoy and have fun!

@@WorldOfChessTournaments cool i love chess

Done!

Thanks for your comment. Why do you think the video is not a short?

There has been a new 3-minute short format on RUclips since October. I think that's a long enough time for chess games. Let's see. Enjoy and have fun!

@confesorvalentin3678 I guess that happened because too many games were played in one day. A simple lapse of concentration. Pia also overlooked the time several times and lost a game as a result. I watched this match live and found it exciting and thrilling at the same time. They both played really good chess, if I may say so with my modest skills. It would be nice if there were more of this type of match.

With pia it’s a pattern, see her game against the female world champion where she also dropped a piece

It really is!

Garry played this match on 28 October against Sam Shankland. As usual, he was at his best. Simply a dream. The tournament ended yesterday and Fabi won in an extremely exciting final and Garry ended up in 6th place. By the way, you can see all the details of the match in the description. 😉

@TheMrinfantaria Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure what you mean by that. So Christopher is an American and Grigoriy is a Russian-American citizen. The names may be misleading, but so is Fabiano or Hikaru. Some chess players have dual citizenship and are therefore also qualified for the US Chess Champs. So don't let the names confuse you. The only important thing is the games they play. 😉 By the way: Alexander Ivanov also won the US Chess Champs in the 90s.

As a patzer, id say that Carissa's space advantage is on the king side, so if she wants to push that advantage, her king might be safer on the queen side. And I guess it turns out the a-file rook was better placed as a defensive piece stopping whites counterplay than as an offensive piece, so better to not castle

@aanon4019 Big thank you for the explanation!

@@aanon4019 Yes thanks for the input! The K-side space does explain Qe7, as opposed to the more typical c7-a5 diagonal. (And the Q does eventually end up rampaging through the K-side almost single-handedly!) So she understood her plan early on. But walking the King right into the open b-file (which she herself created on like move 4!) is certainly counterintuitive. It almost seemed like tactically she needed the King as a defender of b6 to try to free up her other pieces - which does sound upside down and backwards! Anyway the resulting situation with all the pieces frozen in a standoff on the Q-side with the K-side virtually vacant was quite a visual!

Many thanks for your comment. As far as I can judge the game with my modest knowledge, black had a very good position. White's premature g4 alone was not really suitable for this type of position. However, Alina must have had something in mind and was certainly well prepared.

Well, if White's second move is a4, followed by f4, you should be very careful as an opponent. But I think Tabatabaei not only played the opening very well, but also the middlegame.

@@WorldOfChessTournaments I play e4 c5 b4 cxb4 Nf3, so I always have my eye out for other off-beat opening ideas! 🤣👍🏽

Yes, that's chess! Always surprise the opponent 😀

Thank you for your feedback. You are probably right and the music in the background is distracting or at least too loud. I will leave out the background music in future videos. It was definitely worth a try to enhance the videos, but especially with music it's always a question of taste and it's hard to please everyone. In any case, your opinion is important to me and also points the way forward and I thank you for that. 😊

@@WorldOfChessTournaments ✌️

I'm glad you enjoyed this game. As this tournament is played without a time increment, there are often dramatic scenes in the last few moves where the players move their pieces so quickly that it can happen that the pieces just fly around. Pure drama!

@@WorldOfChessTournaments yeah, I’ve seen some of it, even Nigel Sarin standing up… my take is that no increment is fine in a living room with nothing at stake, but if there’s money involved there should be increment so players have time to actually put the pieces on their intended squares… nice bishop sac on this game tho!! 👏👏 thanks for showing interesting games!! 🙏🙏

The thanks are all on my side. I fully share your opinion. Yesterday I watched Nihal Sarin vs. Daniel Dardha live and I was surprised that the arbiter let the game end in a draw, even though Sarin had 2 seconds left on the clock. It was and is definitely exciting... By the way: this game will be online tonight. Many thanks again.

Congratz! How did you like the video and the game?

Yes, it's always nice to see what plans and strategies players come up with in this category.

I'm very pleased that everything is okay with you. You know, breaks also carry their own creativity and shape, or rather reorganize, the rhythm that still seems to lie in the future. In short: it's good to take a break. Even in the royal game, which is extremely creative in itself. Take your time, because time doesn't matter. I'm just happy when I know that everything is fine with you.

I am very pleased to hear that. Thank you very much. There's more to come, I promise!

Well, not really yet. But I'm trying to coax the beauty out of chess that it deserves. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you're pleased.

Hi ❤ So glad you like my videos.

Hi @SofiaTrainer, Did you like the change I made to the thumbnails? Now you can see the result at first glance, so to speak... 🙃 Was it what you wanted? I hope so.

I don’t really like see8ng what the result is before I watch the game, so no it’s not what I wanted but agin it’s totally ok! I don’t expect you to change your channel for one fan! It was a minor suggestion. It’s like if I told sssniperwolf she should dye her hair green and when she doesn’t do it I’d unsubscribe, it’s totally fine. Still love the channel❤

Producing videos is comparable to the process a painter goes through. There are no limits to creativity; constant growth, further development, experimentation and also taking a step back to see the big picture... Let's see how the videos develop over time. Big thank you!

Oh my god! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you SOOO MUCH!
