    Mr. King, I have always believed that QGD exchange variation, much like Rossolimo, leads to some of the wildest and richest positions due to the inherent imbalance in the structure. Today's round was a delight! Thanks for your coverage on wijk.

    Lovely commentary. The most instructive chess channel, I think. How subtle - Pragg's Be2 and Bd3. On BBC Breakfast News this morning, they report an upsurge of interest in chess in the UK, which can't be bad.

    I think in Gukesh vs van, you should have include positional sacrifice Fram van, Rxc4. And then Gukesh brilliant defense Qf6-Rh1-Qh4

    Clearly tiredness becomes a factor at this point of the tournament. Usually sacrifices like Nxa6 or the Queen trap remain variations „behind the scene“. It only adds to the excitement though. Tomorrow should be fun 😏

    Interesting results today, some fortunate mistakes taken advantage of and some missed. Looks like a great last round among the contenders.

    All I can say is, "Thank you!!" I always love your coverage, but today was simply beautiful. Perhaps because I'm a huge Pragg fan, perhaps because of the German quotation you threw in there with almost perfect pronunciation, perhaps the beautiful games themselves, I don't know.... I just really loved this one.
    Plus, I saw the move!! At least I thought it might be the right one.🙂🙂

    this tournament is thrilling, I'm glad I started following chess in a competitive era! Master King, how do I master the mayhem of the middle game? How do I learn to complicate positions and exhaust my enemies? I studied Capablanca games to get a grip on calm play and endgames, do I do the same to someone like Alekhine or Mikhail Tal?

    • @barbwireboy2
      @barbwireboy2 6 дней назад

      i'm no expert and i hate to give such a general answer, but all the masters of the past and present have plenty to learn from in their games. I do personally love the games of Alekhine

      Study Kramniks games from white side. His positional play woth white is one of the best ever.

    There is a little game I like to play. When I watch a round of a tournament King is covering, I like to guess which game he'll choose to feature on his channel. Glad to report I got it right, the game I predicted was in this video.

    A lot of the moves are very dubious, I take it most of them were made at time trouble?

  • @johnkom2339
    @johnkom2339 6 дней назад

    The Gukesh game was the most interesting. Gukesh as Black played 12...Ng4? (engine) and opened a real Pandora's box if White had chosen 13. Bxg4 hg4 14 h5! Bg6 15 e4 then not 15... de4? but 15...Bxe4! 16 h6! Many clearance themes and king safety issues. Gukesh is almost Tal-like in his courtiing of complications. Amazing player!

    It really puzzles me, how a 2600+ player (Sarana) can play g4; Not even in time pressure a 2600 player should play that. Back in the days (45 years ago), I was playing in the 2600+ tournaments, the level was higher then....
