    Beautiful game. I saw the weak diagonal h3-c8 and looked into g3 shortly but the calculations required are insane

    Westerberg tried to out-Shirov Shirov by sacrificing material before Shirov did but then Shirov out-Shirov'ed his sacrifice by sacrificing even more material.
    Well played all.

  • @itskmillz

    Leaving the rook en prise AND allowing the bishop to be pinned is so crazy. It is amazing he came up with that move. I am loving all this shirov content, just might have to buy his book fire on board!

  • @daeuri
    @daeuri 4 года назад

    I saw both g3 and f3 when prompted by Daniel, but sitting at a keyboard is not in the same universe as trying to work this out over the board during a game (with no clues or prompts from a moderator). You have to have the courage to follow your muse, the vision to see it through, and not care whether you win or lose. Games like this remind you of how magical chess can be.

  • @hubertsang7418
    @hubertsang7418 4 года назад

    Excellent lesson GM Daniel, Shirov is a great player, this rook sacrifice with g3, is similar to a sacrifice played in Bronstein-Tal, Riga 1968.

  • @crazyim5

    Mr.King, request for Kramnik vs Shirov games. They have had some great tussles in the late 90s.

  • @Bandaroj
    @Bandaroj 4 года назад

    Es geschieht nicht oft, dass ich durch die Einleitung zu Beginn eines Videos bereits Feuer fange. Aber wenn Daniel von Shirov in dieser Form zu sprechen anhebt, kann ich mir nicht helfen: ich pausiere, schreibe diesen Kommentar, gebe ein 'like' aus reiner Vorfreude und fahre erst dann mit dem Video fort.
    Edit (nach dem Video): wunderbar! Danke, GM!

  • @darsaana
    @darsaana 4 года назад

    Thank you Dan your commentaries are as brilliant as Shirov moves.
    Perhaps the insane sacrifice against Topalov (Linares 98) ?

  • @lashabezhanishvili9034
    @lashabezhanishvili9034 4 года назад +2

    Brilliant game. I like black's opening. It is much better than some "solid"(meaning boring, no counterplay) openngs like Slav and others. I won't be playing against Shirov anytime soon, so I will try this kind of unorthodox stuff.

  • @daniellowinger3709
    @daniellowinger3709 4 года назад

    It's a wonderful game. Right at the end, after Qe4+, since Kg8 loses trivially by dropping the knight, it would have been nice to show what happens after the more stubborn Kh8. Without an engine, I don't see it at first glance.

  • @froodien
    @froodien 4 года назад

    I was pondering e4 instead of g3, another complicated game succinctly presented by the King 🤴.

    I seem to remember a game from the Kasparov vs Miles match where Kasparov allowed a double check and I think moved the king to f6. I think it was a Queen's Gambit.

  • @Mathemagical55
    @Mathemagical55 4 года назад

    I found g3 very easily - it was the first move I considered - but forseeing Qb5 and certainly Nc4 is beyond my ability. At some point even great players like Shirov just have to trust their intuition that something will turn up but it would be interesting to know if Shirov identified Nc4 as the best move in his analysis of g3.

  • @oliverangermuller9827
    @oliverangermuller9827 4 года назад

    Brilliant. I wonder how far Shirov calculated and how much was intuition.

    @guest_informant 4 года назад

    g4
    in case Black want to self-mate with a Rook landing on e6, then g4 covers f5
    If Black doesn't want to self-mate then g5 attacking the Knight might be handy.

    @georgesduroy410 4 года назад +3

    What on earth happened and Shirov (as well as Ivanchuk) did not become world champion?
    It's really not so important, one realises, to be Magnus... it's only part of the story to have highest psychological stamina to win, chess is not just that.

  • @skakdosmer
    @skakdosmer 4 года назад +1

    Funny, I’m sure I would have screwed up the rest of the game, but to me g3 was very obvious and intuitive and took me only seconds to find: it just had to be good!
    And it must have been such a joy to play it! You threaten to bring the white squared bishop into the game which Black obviously can’t afford, so instead he has to allow his queen to be imprisoned in the corner! And who cares about that h1 rook, White has more than enough material to continue the attack. In such an aggressive position there isn’t much difference between captured and inactive pieces.

    Another trip to planet Shirov. If you get a chance there is great B+P endgame in Fire on board.
