Shirov's opponent: "Ha, he's having trouble coming up with a plan!" Shirov: "I think after I win this game, I'll grab a bite to eat and maybe go to a movie or a show."
I'm awestruck. How did white's game go downhill so suddenly? He fell off his chair when g5 landed, perhaps? 11:28 Qd2 is when white messed up. He cannot go cxd4 because of Bb4 pinning the queen. He has to compromise on his strong centre. I could literally hear the white centre go "CRUNCH!' at that point. And when Shirov pushed f5+e5, you know white is dead. Shockingly, black has little to no weaknesses even after pushing all those pawns! Also, at 14:22, Shirov missed a nice win with....d4! attacking e3 bishop and effectively trapping it. If white takes twice on d4, ...Bb4 pins and wins.
The white player is apparently below 1800 (maybe first or second round of an open event) so it's likely that Shirov was just having fun with this to some extent. It's amusing to me how unconventional Alexei's play is at times. Beginners are told to focus on king safety and generally to avoid moving the pawns in front of the king. The image of Shirov castling queenside behind an advanced wall of pawns here was one of the most unusual looking things I have seen on a chess board.
Shirov es un genio del ajedrez. No necesita mirar al tablero para ver la posición. Cuando su rival cree que sigue jugando una partida de ajedrez, Shirov ya sabe que ha ganado.
Il a pas compris ce qu'il lui ai arrivé le gars je crois.... Il a laissé carte blanche à Shirov pour faire ce qu'il voulait. 5 pions au centre !! Waw !!
31 active moves from black; three from white (e4, d4, Qb7).
When Shirov played g5 the guy nearly jumped out of his seat.

did i leave the oven on?
Very instructive game. Amazingly played by a legend.
Shirov must be visiting Planet Ivanchuk in this one lol.
thats a good one, LOL, EEH I DECLINE HANDSHAKE SIR ERRHH!!
15:40 Had a pawn centre like that once.....that's once, in over 35 years of playing!
In first 6, 7 moves Shirov was like :"where am I, what am I doin' here?". Then he showed how to play French Tarrasch with Black.

Detherocable After Bb5-d3 black can win a piece with d4!

Shirov is gazing off into space seemingly disinterested in the beginning of the game. Must be a nice looking chick off to his right! LOL

Castling looks rather cool here.
I can't see the game
Is this you call rapid chess, so what would you call slow chess then?
Classical chess
Shirov's main problem in the game is that he needs a good stiff vodka; that's why he looks so depressed.
Bella partita. Ho già giocato...g5 nel passato. Naturalmente non con la profondità delle idee del GRANDE NIGEL.
amazing
Sometimes Shirov came back to the game...otheweise was he away:)
WTF is he looking at? Searching for help by a GM?
What was Shirov looking? 😅
makes me want to play the French
Not looking ...pretending....
Tricky...
👏👏👏👍
