@@lukacalov1988 Basically, 100 centipawns is equivalent to 1 pawn. For example, if a move changes the evaluation from +1 to +1.2, then black lost 20 centipawns for this move. The average centipawn loss is calculated as: total centipawn loss/total number of moves
I played tournament this weekend and got 26 centipawn loss in my worst game and 8 in my best. I got 8, 9, 12, 15, 15, 16, 26. And 6.5/7 my draw was the 8 centipawn loss.
Great game to highlight Jerry. Polgar extremely logically and forcefully crushed Shirov’s Modern. Really learned a lot & enjoyed your superb analysis. I myself have been trying to learn the Modern as well as other openings it may transpose into like the Pirc, Hippo, Gurgendize, other an accelerated King’s Indian Defense. However, along the way I’ve been smashed quite a few times (in blitz & bullet) as White has a multitude of attacking schemes. Polgar’s smashing victory here clearly shows Black set up is precarious. You mentioned Shirov improved with h6 in a later game vs former WC Vishy Anand & I hope you show that game too as once White gets in g4 it hard to see how Black untangles let alone fights for the initiative. Incidentally, your earlier video on how to smash the Hippo was best I’ve ever seen on fighting the double Fianchetto set up. In fact, your system is so solid & logical I now use it myself vs the Hippo. Please post more games on the slippery Modern defense set up… your analysis is very instructive not only for the particular opening but pawn structure, breaks & vulnerabilities, tempo considerations, tactics & middle game plans. If you ever decide to do a Chessable course I’d buy it in a heartbeat! Hint, hint, hint. ;-) Cheers!
Thank you for the compliments. The best game reps are in the rapid format. 15+10 is A+. The hippo video was the only time I did a video focused on an opening. Glad it was helpful. 👍
@@ChessNetwork All your videos are spot on. Get your subtle hint that Blitz & Bullet chess are suboptimal (especially for aspiring adult improvers like myself) but these hyper-fast formats alert me to a multitude of different set ups, which then spurs my focused more in-depth study. I can’t prepare for what I’ve never seen or thought about, so these hyper fast formats serve a valuable purpose. That said, my opening repertoire vs different set ups is coming into focus & will soon take plunge into online 15 or 20 rapid games to prep re-entry next year (after many, too many, decades away) into OTB classical chess. Your videos are very instructive on many levels and frankly entertaining… you pick games that highlight battling ideas & your reviews have just the right inflection in your voice to convey your thoughts. In this video your detailed discussion of the superiority of a3 over a4 in restraining Black’s queenside pawns is best I’ve heard or read anywhere & extremely memorable. You have a real knack for breaking down positions & the various choices into the essential component parts in an understandable way. Thank you! Cheers!
Your analysis is always highly instructive. I would love to see a video where you show us how you prep yourself for one of these videos. It would be very helpful to see how you start thinking about a game from scratch, how you use the database and the engine, and so on.
For the first pause moment: While I did think about b4 driving the knight back, I mainly based my decision of a3 on the weakness created by the push. a4 into b4 weakens squares we're not as likely to be able to use. If a3 ...a4 then eventually then there's an eventual b4 square we can park our knight on. Not sure if that's a good reason or not though, but figured I'd share.
Judit showed her virtuosity and versatility in this game. No Tal-like attacks/sacrifices like we have seen from Judit in this game as her inner Capablanca really took over in its powerful simplicity. What a beautiful mind and in my opinion a beautiful soul for what she has given to chess and learning chess. Thank you for this absolute treasure.
Where else has there been a woman, let alone young woman, who challenged the very best men in the world at what they do best? It happens every once in a while- maybe a lot in today’s environment. Judit did it at a time when it wasn’t acceptable. She’s a very unique person in history as far as I can tell.
Judit was a killer. I have a book signed by her and all the other Gms in the GM A section at the 70th Corus (Tata/Hoogovens) tournament at Wijk Aan Zee. Every serious chess player needs to make a pilgimage to Wijk Aan Zee for this tournament. There are many amateur sections in addition to GM A, GM B and GM C. Wijk Aan Zee is a small village by the sea whose population doubles when the tournament is played in January. AFAIK every WC of the last 75 years has played in this tournament except for Fischer.
Jerry after Nd6 from Polgar do you think she had calculated to the end? Or do you think her instincts to seize the initiative were enough for her to dive in and figure it out later?
I think it was more on the side of an intuitive sacrifice. The forceful development of Bg5 crisscrossing with the other bishop, and Rd1 intersecting on d7 with the bishop are big positives. Moreover, black has no counterattack against the white king. White’s development is overwhelming and the black king is stuck in the center. In the end it feels like, to me at least, a minimal material investment for such an attack. Hope all is well Mate. 👍
hey jerry. thanks for your vids as always. since you asked for feedback, i thought the a3/a4 nuance was quite a simple one and could have been covered in fewer words. hope you don’t mind me saying so. maybe i’m just getting better! thanks again
4:18 -- One thing not mentioned about this position, black playing 9... b4 doesn't work here. White can ignore the threat and play 10. dxe6, and now there's a mate threat on f7. Black is forced to recapture the pawn, and now white can play Na4, leaving black with a weakened kingside.
When you generate a threat, you are giving some direction/directive to your opponent. The selection of replies is significantly reduced. A phrase that’ll be used to describe directive play is “white/black seizes the initiative”.
Imagine getting 0 accuracies with 9 centipawn loss in a game as sharp as this. Judit truly was an expert attacker
You made an inaccuracy in typing the word inaccuracy 😜
Whats centipawn loss?

@@Chessgonemad . Not against a world class player like Shirov. I can get perfect games too against beginners.
Love how Jerry talks about chess in a sports way. Using sports metaphors, etc. Great video. Outstanding channel.
Thank you 👍
Jerry, you are on a roll with all these new videos !! yet to find enough time to catch up with all the recent uploads. Thanks a ton !
Trying to stick with an every other day. 👍
Jerry, if you want Judit to invite you to dinner, just call her up.
I bet she arrives to dinner hung’ry
Ha ha ha...
More Polgar please!
Absolutely vicious attack by Polgar. Against Shirov too!
“Honey, wake up! ChessNetwork uploaded!”
Insane game by the young Polgar! Thanks for another gem!
Thanks for the content! Always entertaining and appreciated!

Assigning reasons is the first step. Note the differences and try to determine the weight/importance of each. 👍

Oh, Kano Knight ❤
Hey, Jerry, it's everyone. Really loved the Kano cameo.
❤️😎
great chess content as always
This one almost feels like it was played in Morphy's time, especially that sequence with Qe6 (instead of Qb7) followed by Rd6. Very beautiful
"should i go and play clash royale?
nah, id watch jerry"
Sounds like a plan 😎
@@ChessNetwork Jerry, Jerry, Jerry! (The good Jerry, not that horrible show in the 1990s)
Thanks for sharing!
The cheek of running Shirov off the board with tactics

Never sell that book. What a treasure.
Very cool! 😎
Even with how inactive black's flank was, it's quite impressive how precise white had to be to force mate here.
Great Analysis. The puzzle will stay with you. When you cease trying to understand it, you will know it without understanding it. -Caine

I love Judit Style and Jerry Analysis, Win Win
👍😎
Very sharp, and very interesting!
Well. That escalated quickly!
My question is why didn’t he explain En passant I would’ve played En passant that would’ve taken care of the whole situation.
She didn't even bother to castle
The strongest Qd1, shesh
Great game. Sharp ending
Keep on this Judit saga!!! 98% accuracy OMG
First. Thanks Gary, awesome. Video. ❤
Thanks 👍
Love to see Judit’s attacking mastery!! 👏
I like the fact that i never heard you saying "please like and subscribe" in your videos...
Wow! Super GM Judit Polgar playing like a Super GM indeed!
And she never does castle.. what a beast!
Judith had wonderful tactical vision .
I love Polgar
instead of 17 ... Ndf6 he should go ...f6 It gives the king another escape square and is guarded by the knight and bishop
The h5 move may have changed Black's game
Great stuff, +1 sub, cheers \o/
Thanks 👍

explain trinity
This looks like Morphy vs NN
Giving direction to your opponent is a positive ? What does that even mean ?
When you generate a threat, you are giving some direction/directive to your opponent. The selection of replies is significantly reduced. A phrase that’ll be used to describe directive play is “white/black seizes the initiative”.
