3 points for a win instead of 2 makes gameplay more exciting. Riskier games, less incentive to draw and rapid means they're not going for computer approved perfect play.
Shakh is not just an ordinary chess master, he has always tried to play well and beautifully. He always tried something different and always played the offensive game, even in matches where he could easily draw. We love and are proud of Shakh. 🇦🇿
That game was nuts. There was a point there where he was down a rook and a piece, yet the position was completely winning for him, which was just incredible.
@@dudenotsoperfect9366 and that is exactly the beauty of chess. It is something simple, that you can find anywhere like any other boardgame, but that can also create masterpiece like that.
Shak don’t get enough credit. I like that he plays to win. I think he has one of the lowest draw ratios in top tier chess behind Magnus, Nepo and Caruana if I’m not mistaken. His games are really fun to watch. And he’s a really nice chap. Can’t believe he sacrificed over 50% piece value and won! Absolutely incredible. Congrats on this game Shak. Absolute beast. 👊🏻
I don't have the numbers but I would expect Dubov's draw ratio to be pretty low as well. I haven't seen a single Dubov game in which he didn't either win spectacularly or lose spectacularly
Shak used to be a member of the 2800 club and the player Magnus feared the most in classical alongside Fabi (back in 2016-2019), maybe he can reach his prime again, he is still excellent
I don't think I've ever seen a game where someone sacrificed one of each pieces (a pawn, a knight, a bishop, a rook and a queen) and went on to win spectacularly. What a game!
Grigori Serper vs Ioannis Nikolaidis, "the immortal sacrifice game". Both rooks, both bishops, both knights, the queen, all sacrificed for the summary price of a knight and rook and a lot of tempi. The rest was tactical follow ups and lots of passed pawns.
Mamedyarov has been on another planet lately. His play has been so artistic yet brutal, and the ways he conjurs his attacks are just magnificent and genius. For anyone else it's reckless, but he is like a rock hammer, violently breaking through even the seemingly strongest defenses. Absolute art. How can you not be romantic about chess?

Surely no game is more deserving of the Mr Barnes logo? A great injustice. I hope Agadmator does the gentlemanly thing and acknowledge the oversight in the next video..
Shak is not an easy opponent. He’s literally beat everyone at least once. These skills have not done dull with age they’ve just become more refined. Thanks for the video.😊
This almost brought a tear to my eye. This is why chess is beautiful. Mamedyarov showed total mastery of the game and was willing to give it all to win the game, because he had the confidence, because he knew he could win, despite appearing to lose everything. There are lessons for our personal life too within chess.
Shakh has always been doing what he preaches. I remember in one of his streams he said that g4 is a nice gambit that many players overlook. He played it against Hikaru in a rapid game and Anish here. He is sort of a wizard too like Ding but probably less pragmatic because he plays less safely.
If Shakh was a little more consistent, I think he would be a much stronger opponent. But if he changes his style, then we wouldn't be getting interesting games with crazy positions.
Will agadmator never cover the 12-move #9LX puzzle in Anish Giri Vs Eric Hansen from the Offerspill finals? That whole match was pretty good actually. #suggestion

Its rare to see such beautiful attacking chess these days. Shakh went Beast mode. Truly an amazing game.

Reporter : Did you do it?
Shakh : yes.
Reporter : What did it cost?
Shakh : Everything.

How much the beads cost.

This isn't chess. It's art.
Are chess and art really mutually exclusive?
It’s both
Its just a board game.

@@kellamyoshikage286 White sacrificed both rooks, queen, both knights, both bishops, and *3 pawns*
I’ve sacrificed all my pieces before. Still working on the win part of it though!
"Sac one of each piece (and a pawn)(not a king)" sounds like a Chess Simp challenge
1:14 "Yes this looks like something you'd try against your uncle....." - Agad's level of humour >>>>😂

Many peices getting Shakhrificed
The shark smelled blood on the board
Shakh activates the Behelit.
Great to see Berserk reference here
When Shak is on, he's really tough to beat.
70 years later, this will be a very good chess memorial game.
The Shakh Attakch!!!
Never seen anything like this in my life! Moreover, doing this at this level is just mental. The video deserves a more creative title I believe 😊
mamedyarov is such a nice guy
"This looks like something you try against your uncle"
How does he know?! 😂
One of the best games I've seen this year
I read the title as Shrek Sacrifices Everything
Lmao 😂
That'll do donkey that'll do
Shrek! Shrek! I'm a donkey Shrek!
Finally, a genuinely funny comment instead of anal beads and stockfish.
Shakh games are an instant must-watch for me, and no doubt many other people 😁
For sure, the guy plays such bold chess.
Ivanchuk also :)
One of the spectacular chess game I have seen in a while. Shakh sacks.!
And it was at this point the ghost of Tal applauded.
So happy to see shakh getting back in Form
Niemann: "I played a beautiful game."
Mamedyarov: "Hold my vodka."
Shakh is playing art.
Agadmator's "sorry about that" is constant 🤣
"sorry about that"
*proceeds to fix absolutely nothing*
In Brazil we call Mamedyarov: "The Lumberjack".
Holy crap. This is probably at least game of the year. Most creative player every, The Big Shak!
What, no "Game of the Century" ?!
Masterpiece.. love Shakhs creativity 😊❤🎉
And everytime you think you know the beauty of chess, another incredible game comes along ...
Shakh attack. What a beautiful mind that can dream up play like this. Just wow.
This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen

A brutal masterpiece by the great shark
A brilliant sacrificing game!
Surely no game is more deserving of the Mr Barnes logo? A great injustice. I hope Agadmator does the gentlemanly thing and acknowledge the oversight in the next video..
That's brutal...none could've survived that Shakh onslaught
Shak defeated Magnus and no video on it? :o Anywau great content as always
My day can not start without "sorry about that"
I think Mamedyarov deserves a Barnes head for this attacking game
You just got to love Shakh.
Shakhmat
For the First time, he didn't thank the donators.
Agad: ‘Sorry about that..’
Sorry about what? 😈
Agad: ‘captures captures’
What a game, crazy attack by Shakh and everything clicked really well
Shakh It All!! - Shaquille O’neal
This is plain brilliance......
Shak sacrificed rook bishop knight and queen all in a single game.
And pawn
So basically everything but his king
That Knight sacrifice is absolutely hilarious to me, what a game
the sac purpose is only to distract the queen and that paid off
what a move
Damn it man. He even point out the move i used against my uncle 😂😂
That was raw kamikaze piece sacrificing to a win, amazing love it! Living on the edge
Mashallah Shah qardashimiz!
He won, even without playing the best move in chess!
"Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk" - Shak
I also sacrifice everything. Just that I don't win.
😄👍
Shak is not an easy opponent. He’s literally beat everyone at least once. These skills have not done dull with age they’ve just become more refined. Thanks for the video.😊
For a moment I was surprised Giri did not draw the game...
Giri didn’t want to spoil a masterpiece. Even if he was on the losing end of it. Sometimes all you can do is tip your hat.
A lot of very fun and aggressive lines this tourney.
It's the king finally that matters the most.What a gem of a game reminding Morphy and Tal!
Thank you Agadmator for continuing to instruct us.
Tal -> Ivanchuk -> Shakhriyar : always fascinated with their games.
Mamedyarov's mini barbarian
Been waiting for this game
Anytime Anish gets embarrassed is a GREAT video
Sackriyar went super saiyan 3 after beating MC in round 1
Shakh's Ender's Game Immortal
@1:10 "this is something you could do against your uncle"😂😂😂
wow! this is a real master piece.
i did not see the rook on the preview, was confused how exactly does this sac work
Sackriyar Mamedyarov
Dam the torpedoes, full speed ahead! 🤣👍♟
Amazing game! Full barbarian, pawn pushing mode engaged!
This almost brought a tear to my eye. This is why chess is beautiful.

Wow buddy its just a board game

Instant click

and that is why shakh m games favourites of mine, he may not win all the time but man o man when he does its just beautiful
If Shakh was a little more consistent, I think he would be a much stronger opponent. But if he changes his style, then we wouldn't be getting interesting games with crazy positions.
Very thoughtful Shakhrifices
As long as you do not sacrifice the victory in the process.
The right side of the board is still slightly cropped
No one touches the Shakhtus
Really happy that Shakh can crush high tier opponents like that.
The Shak attack.
The Operahouse game is questioning itself, like Snowwhites stepmother: "Is there another game out there, more beautiful than me?!?"
I am proud of my student shakh.
This is best game of 21st century so far
Whoever said Knight on e5, mate is soon to follow. Still holds true.
„that looks like something you would try against your uncle“ hahahaha
Shakt sacrificed one of each: pawn, bishop, knight, rook and queen. If the king could be sacrificed, no doubt he would have found a way to do so.
Will agadmator never cover the 12-move #9LX puzzle in Anish Giri Vs Eric Hansen from the Offerspill finals? That whole match was pretty good actually. #suggestion
Terrific game
"Nb5 is something you'd try against your uncle" brilliant haha
Nowadays rapid games can produced masterpieces.
