Niemann smiles two times at the end: once triumphantly at Qg5 destroying blacks pawns; then, moments later in self-deprecating defeat when Quparadze springs the deadly trap with Qg1 check! Reminds me of a line in a Pete Townshend song called Music Must Change: "We soared like the sparrow hawk flied, then we dropped like a stone..."
@@ninjaaljun7674 Several months ago, after a tournament in Miami where Niemann did exceptionally well, he arrogantly proclaimed "my chess speaks for itself" shortly before allegations that he cheated began to explode in the chess world and he then admitted he had cheated in online games.
So many people are commenting on Nieman's blunder, but kudos to Quparadze for setting up the trap in what otherwise was a hopeless position. It was a real hail Mary strategy, like a quarterback throwing a long bomb in the final seconds to score a winning touchdown. Other players might have just thrown in the towel and shaken hands after losing those two pawns. But in rapid play, it's not over till it's over. Very exciting game!
The higher you fly, the harder you'll fall. I though after Qg5 (11:58) that he has it (apparently, so did he, based on his smile). well played by Giga, getting Hans into a time trouble
Hans is a very strong player, and he makes some really bad mistakes, just as any other strong player. He has a big grin when he wins two pawns just before the end, and an even bigger laugh when he hangs mate a few moves later.
He kept on playing completely drawn position and then his opponent blundered. Laughed like an idiot but karma bite him, he blundered the mate himself and then lost. Classless.
it's weird that he was surprised by it. The previous move with the queen was obvious sign that Giga is going for some checks from the back. Hans maybe expected it, but did not realize that he won't be able to escape it... Happens to everybody :D but the his face when he captured the pawn, and his face when this happened, was a nice emotional roller-coaster
such a gigachad giga quparadze is he was fiercely playing with hans without accepting a draw in a dead draw position. This guy was just going for the win!
Lot of people are commenting that he has cheated every time a chess video of Hans is uploaded where he looses a game with a lower rated opponent. But they don't realize that everybody at that level has a potential any one one his day. And every time saying that he can't win without cheating is pointless cause he has prooved that he is capable of beating strong GM's like he did in this championship by beating rapport.if there is something unlawful he has done I think it is up to the FIDE to decide and other agencies and I think it has not been yet prooven whether he has cheated or not. I think he is a strong GM and we should respect that.
@1l1lII "but he without a doubt cheated against magnus" Hilarious. My turn: Magnus without a doubt cheated when he beat (name here) because I wrote it. Any idea how Hans has been a steady 2700 and slightly rising with all these OTB tournaments? All cheating? NEAT!!! I await your summary as to how this happens.
Hello, can someone explain why he surrendered? He can just move his king? Im only 800 in chess so I don't really understand, it seemed like he was winning after taking the 2 pawns.
Litterally any king move that wasn't that move would've been winning but no, he trapped himself I see people saying that he was tricked, he wasn't, he thought there wasn't a losing move in existence and he trapped his own king, Pragg did that once too where he made a knight move in a completely winning position that trapped his king and he got himself into a mate in 1
Any idea why he is doing so well in classical chess? Seems to me that some players are good at classical, some at rapid, some at both. Accusations of OTB cheating are pure BS, especially since other sub-2700 players have beaten Magnus. No cries of cheating them, just a simple game well played by a lower-ranked player, and a poor game from Magnus.
@@scottekoontz it was more to do with the way in which he beat Magnus. Then failing to notice that his position was losing and called it completely winning in the interview. It screamed suspicious to everyone
@@at0micsheep Here is "the way" he beat Magnus: He played a great game, Magnus played poorly. Since Magnus has lost to several sub-2700s before, how would you describe the way they beat him as any different? Did they cheat? OMG they all cheated! We cannot have this silliness every time a lesser-ranked player beats a higher ranked player. But of course we don't, we only get it with Hans. When he blunders a game, he's clearly not a 2700. When he wins a game against a higher-ranked player, then clearly, CLEARLY he cheated! When he plays well against similar-ranked players in a major tournament and comes mid-pack, it's ignored. When he wins tournaments with mostly lesser-ranked players, he's accused of wanting to increase his rating. If his position was losing, how did he win? Are you claiming he was losing and Magnus blundered and Hans took advantage of it? SUPER!!! Hans did what any great player would do, but alas he must have been cheating... right? Has Magnus never been beaten by a 2700 since he became world champ (he has)? The lack of consistent logic among the "Hans cheated" crowd screams WTF. Accusations of OTB cheating by Hans is total BS the same as accusing any other player of cheating OTB.
@@andrewmik Wrong. Everybody is judged everyday. And that doesn’t change the fact that Hans broke basic chess etiquette by not setting the board back up.
i agree. how hard is it really to be nice? come on people of this world. shake, smile and have a nice day. it's only chess. there is a life after chess.
Hans had the game in the bag and blew it. Heck I do that all the time lol. These guys are good but even the big boys make mistakes sometimes. It’s all relative I suppose.
If this is the kind of performance I can expect from my beads, I'm not sure I'm ready to take my chess to that level. Maybe he forgot to charge them the night before? I don't know, I guess I expected more from a top beader. I checked the forums and some of the beaders there are saying that sacrificing the king for a pawn is really unexpected. Lots of confusion in the community right now.
Man, he played extremely well against Carlsen, completly outplaying him with black and superb technique. I wonder, why he cant do shit in faster time controls 🤔
Because you don't have time to cheat in short formats. All other top players like Vincent play well in all formats. Only Hans plays like nobody else. Sometimes like 2100 and sometimes 2900. He only plays well when he has time to be "informed" somehow. They need Airport x-ray systems so that nobody can enter with any devices.
I would have a lot more respect for Hans if he just stayed and put the pieces back. No class or manners. He is the type of person who leaves his tray at the table at McDonalds
@@keshabroy6094 it does make you less of a person. If you think otherwise, you're probably one of them leaving trays and throwing garbage on the street.
hahaha this kind of self-mating net construction happens every now and then. Giri won a very similar match to this against Svane in the World Rapid last year
This game was such a mess. But a very entertaining mess. They both made big blunders. At the end Hans didn't notice at all that he was about to be checkmated in 2. Very fun game.
It was obviously a blunder rather than lack of ability, or he wouldn’t have noticed his mistake straight away. His blitz performance was actually decent, and he ended with the same points as Erigaisi. But after all, his specialty is classical and he is 2705 and rising
I like that they both are able to smile at their own blunders - shows some sportsmanship
