    At 9:47 .It was in this position that Akobian realised that Nakamura's pawns were moving down the board at 60fps and so he decided to resign the game

    Hikaru had in his preparation a line of 34 moves that was followed until a certain point in the game (he analyzed this game on his stream) where white is up a knight but black is up 3-4 pawns and has compensation, pretty amazing that GM's prepare at such level. His analysis was very informative, worth watching.

  • @bezzlebedeviled4756
    @bezzlebedeviled4756 5 лет назад

    6:35 -- Interesting endgame; at the beginning of this position, the engines basically rate it -0.95 or some such in favor of Black, but this should be ignored since his position is an *inexorable*, if glacially-paced, one, and he basically has to blunder in order to not win. It is therefore incumbent upon White to secure such a blunder. My first hunch was, "What if White just permits Black to eat all of his pawns while running his king up the right side of the board to shepherd his passed pawn?" (I.e., basically the opposite of what Akobian did, and we saw how badly that turned out.)
    Kf2, Rd2+ (engine quickly piles up -2.5 for Black)
    Kg3, Rxb2, Kh4, Rxa1, Kh5, Kg7 (engine screaming -3 to -4 for Black), Re4....
    But wait, what's this!? After Re4, a whole raft of 0.00s spread up in the engine lines like a rash, and Black essentially has a solitary, non-obvious move to maintain a victory at this point: Rf2. If he does anything else (such as take the g-pawn now that it's undefended), he's in a drawn game at best.
    Let's see what happens if Black's greed continues, and he takes the pawn:
    Rxg2, Re7+, ...and the Black king has three moves, two of which lead to draws, and one of which leads to his being checkmated.
    If Rf2, then try g6. and if Black doesn't replyRf5+ (his only good move), the game will also lead to a draw or worse. If he does Rf5+, *then* White can resign.

  • @danielgautreau161
    @danielgautreau161 5 лет назад

    (1). At 4:40 after 18. Rf3 you advise against 18..., fe5 19. Nxe5 because of 19..., Bh4 20. g3. But if 18..., fe5 19. Nxe5, Bxf4!. Or if 18..., fe5 19. Bxe5, Bxf4 20. Bxf4, Nxf4 transposing to the game..... (2). At 5:23 White SHOULD play 22. g3, as after 22..., Ng6 23. Bxg6, Rxf3 24. Bxh7+!, Kxh7 25. Rxf3 White is at least equal: If 25..., Bxh3?! 26. Rf7+ with 27.

      Hikaru's analysis was deeper and covered a lot of other lines, some in great detail. But it's a lot of work to follow - not as enjoyable as here but you get more of a feel for how the GMs think as they are playing these games. Naka had problems with his internet service in St. Louis too so there were a few outages. The Shankland match should be interesting too.

    Akobian could have won by Rook to F4! at 9:35. Brilliant move! Then black takes A3 and White moves rook to G4 to escort his pawn down. Black B3 to move out of pawn's way, then the race is on! G6, A3, G7, A2, G8 and white has a queen. A1 and black has a queen. White Q takes rook and there is nothing for black to do here, and in this position, Nakamura resigns.

Here's wishing the best of luck to both these guys, and here's looking forward to more games analyzed by Mr Akobian. Whether he ever takes us through this particular game or not, I don't really care. Any game that he walks us through is something that's worth our time.
