Modern Defense: Rat Defense, Accelerated Gurgenidze Variation,,, strangest one i ever heard 😂

Why so ?​@@chessrecap9901

haha

This was prior to getting banned ryt

@@chessrecap9901 Same with steroid users... all merits stripped This gets no reverence from anyone anymore All of his titles will be retroactively stripped, whether that happens officially or in the court of public opinion, doesnt really matter If a guy will go so insanely far to cheat IRL, then you cant trust a thing he ever did online

same with case for Niemann,, but he is trying his best to make a strong comeback

exd4 ?? d4 square is empty bro

Then the match will end more quickly with a mate in one instead of a mate in two, with knight to b6 checkmating the black king, as all of its escape squares are blocked by the white king.

Then he can prolong the game for a few more moves, but he won't escape the mating net, as we will keep our rook on the third rank, capturing the knight the moment it moves. The king will be stuck on the h1 and h2 squares.

Yes, Magnus was under time pressure. At the time of the rook to c2 mistake, he had half the time of MVL on the clock: 4 minutes compared to MVL's 8

I agree with you; Giri had 1:58, and Firouzja had 1:11 at the time of the blunder. Firouzja is known for his bullet-speed chess, so credit can't be taken away from Giri for this win.

Thanks! I hope that’s a compliment! 😊

Haha, I’ll take that as a compliment! Just need to stop losing my pieces first!

Yes, bro, there are many choices for Black to play from that position. Black can keep checking the White king with moves like a3, b2, or d2, but Black is still in zugzwang and remains under a mating net. That was the point of the video: no moves improve the position; it’s not a forced mate.

No, bro, queen to g5 allows the king to move to f7. The king is still in a mating net, but it can prolong the game for two more moves.

Thanks for the tip,, I am working on it

No need for queen to d1, bro; queen to d3 is perfectly fine, as it prevents the king from escaping through the b5 square.

Absolutely thrilling match! Loved every moment! ❤️

Rook to e8 won't work, because there is a forced mate in two moves after Black's rook moves to e8. White will continue with g4+, and the only move for the Black king is f6. Then, White's rook on e4 will move to e6, delivering checkmate. Thank you for trying out the puzzle; I appreciate your effort!

I believe I explained the same thing in the video. The Black king is in a zugzwang position, and after White plays queen to d3, checkmate is incoming. Anyway, thanks for trying out the puzzle!

Alireza's move was strategic to exploit time pressure, keeping the game alive. However, with more time, Magnus could have found a winning sequence. It highlights the balance between material and managing the clock in high-stakes matches!

There was a forced mate for Magnus to win after that move, bro

@@chessrecap9901Magnus was very low on time and Alireza knew that if he took the queen the game will end in a draw so he let Magnus’s time ran out and since Alireza has a knight and Alireza can theoretically checkmate Magnus, he won the game instead of a draw.

Well Said!!

Glad that you were able to find that 👏! Sacrificing the e and f pawns will allow the g pawn to win you the game

Glad you were able to find it

I didn't get you, bro. King to h8 will not prevent queen promotion; the game is already won for Carlsen in that position.

rook g3 is just giving away free rook and queen to f1+?? rook on b2 control back rank

Thanks for subbing! Manh u made my day

@@chessrecap9901 oh glad to hear that

Definitely! Anand's mastery of knights is exceptional

It is now called 'Titled Tuesday' with two sessions: 'Titled Tuesday Early' and 'Titled Tuesday Late,' both featuring an 11-round Swiss format. Carlsen won the Titled Tuesday Late on September 24, while Niemann won the Titled Tuesday Early on the same day. I hope this answers your question.

Good question! It takes practice to spot tactics. Focus on common patterns like forks and pins. The more you play and analyze, the better you'll get. Keep it up!

@@chessrecap9901 Thank you!

that was quick,,, 👏

Thanks for the Feedback Bro,,, 😊

that was insane game

it is queen sac followed by knight to f2 mate !!,, thanks for stopping by anyway

i didnt get you bro,, queen cant take d7 since bishop is skewing white queen and king after rook takes on c8,, and before rook takes on c8 if he goes for queen takes on d7 ,, its hanging a queen since black bishop is covering that square

@@chessrecap9901 sry i didn't notice it

no prblm bro,, thanx for stopping by..

glad you got it,, what is ur rating bro,, i will try to find more challenging ones then

@@chessrecap9901 idk but btw ur good at chess

Can say decent,, trying to learn by solving puzzles and learning tactics and analyzing super gm games,, that really helps !!

Great point! Wesley’s smooth, positional style is definitely Capablanca-esque. When he’s on form, he’s tough to beat. MVL is a formidable challenge; I think they have a pretty close head-to-head record.

What a Tournament he had!!!

Absolutely! Pronouncing it as 'kween' definitely adds some flair and fun. 👑

@chessrecap9901 that's how it's pronounced...the correct way.

got it bro

Queen to h2+ is not stalemate bro,, queen to h2+ will end in mate in 2,, Rxh2 ,b4 Rh1#

nyc one

Absolutely! Arjun’s creativity and skill make it a must-watch. The queen sacrifice was just brilliant!

Rook on f6 is pinned by Bishop on c3 bro,, it cannot capture erigaisi's rook on h6

The black king will dominate the white king, and the pawn on a3 will eventually fall. The white king won’t be able to defend that pawn indefinitely, and there is no remaining counterplay for white. Foreseeing this, white resigns.

Seems like the knight sacrifice was quite a shocker! 😄
