Watched the last game live during the online nations cup. Being an Indian, it was heartbreaking to see it happen to one of our own, but it simply made me a lifetime fan of Levon! Absolutely brilliant!
@@mr.bumble-bee3749 about 1900 OTB but it's a lot easier when they tell you there is a brilliant move. If I was in a game I probably wouldn't find any of these lol
In the first game i think that Nc5 also works because the knight cannot be taken cuz rook is hanging and the bishop on a5 cannot be taken as well thanks to the fork on b3
LOL I like how this guys always give a full insight of what was happening in an interesting way. This is the best NM chess coach you could have wished for
To be fair, this was a hell of a list - every move here seemed so counterintuitive - but I haven't seen the Ne1 move you're talking about, can you link the game? :)
Daring white to take the h8 rook, how sick is that?? I realized that the rook was poisoned, and black ends up queening a pawn or two if the rook is taken.
2:12 - "I dare you to move the Knight here 'cause I'm going to take here (axb4)..." Okay, then I take your Queen with my Knight that I just dared to move there. You would have to take the Bishop with your Queen.
youdidnt reconise two things in the first game number 1 is bxb8 rxb8 was not possible becauseof qa4 checkwinning the bishop and the reason why he played bb3 was to defend themate on f2 qxf2 folowed by kd1 qxf1 ismate and white cant support the c3 knight and the main threat to checkmate so hejust decided to defend the mate
That 2nd game vs Shirov was wild! *Aronian* Wait a minute, Im going to use my essence of Nimzowitsch here....oh yeah. *Shirov* oh no #@$^! essence of Nimzowitsch! Arrrgggh!!! Zugzwang shenanigans!

The second game has to be the most beautiful endgame I have ever seen, amazing!
Yeah, that was completely nuts
No better example of a zugzwang than that, wow
@@leadnitrate2194 yep👍
I had seen it before but thought it was some kind of study or sth. To imagine such a thing happened in a game is crazy
It's just spectacular
Number two is absolutely incredible. Such a great vision on that end game
agree
This is by far the best 5 moves shown of any super gm
7:33
Remember to not take that pawn, it would be stalemate
Realizes I would've stalemated a won game🙂
@@archimedeis me too
figured that out'
wtf the Bb2 move in the fifth position is so brilliant that even stockfish couldn't see it. Aronian u are so good
Because he is the Lion of Armenia
So true, the software can not see it.
The second position is actually a thematic tactic in the endgame.
Should respect him.
bruh dont you have a life
Even more gruesome than the windmill I would say.
@@someoneelse293 no, i find it simple i saw it in less than a second, simple really
@@dutchchessbetterthancheese1239 GUESS THE ELO
jk
I was waiting for an Aronian video. One of the absolute best of our time. I'd actually put him among top 3 of our generation
Magnus, Lev and Fabi
@@jessebitch6227 yes that's my top 3 as well
Levon is an absolute savage great video
Yo that second game was the craziest thing I've ever seen I swear
I love game no.2 and no.5. Zugzwang is simply beautiful ! Thanks for sharing.
This was brilliant! Excellent selection of moves and explanation. It was great to see the follow up. Perfect length of the video. Thank you!
my man James is back with some cool games. Enjoyed it!
Insane... what a player
Levon was a beast in his prime.
That was amazing James.. your narration was outstanding
Watched the last game live during the online nations cup. Being an Indian, it was heartbreaking to see it happen to one of our own, but it simply made me a lifetime fan of Levon! Absolutely brilliant!
I love Aronian since a long time. Und that proves me why. Thank you!
my boy canty!!!!!!!!!!!! always with soo much energy!
your boy Canty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! always with soo much energy!
@@junwei8480 his boy Canty!!!!!!!!!!! always with soo much energy!
Levon is end game master.
This was quite entertaining. Thanks
Awesome Chess ♟️
Thanks Mr. Canty your the best
great video dude
at 20:15 can't you take the pawn so when the queen takes it's just mate?
The black queen won't take the pawn back it will just hunt the white king with series of checks it will prolly lead to Draw by playing "Qg2 check"
great job Mr Canty - very entertaining!!! Amazing moves!
"zugged out" - great expression on game 2
Amazing move
Levon is a true artist
Happy I got all of them except Qg5!! That one I didn't even consider.
What's your rating?
shut up
@@turtle_fps ok
@@mr.bumble-bee3749 about 1900 OTB but it's a lot easier when they tell you there is a brilliant move. If I was in a game I probably wouldn't find any of these lol
Happy to see my man James Canty III back making content. Really enjoy this dude
the second one was amazing
In the first game i think that Nc5 also works because the knight cannot be taken cuz rook is hanging and the bishop on a5 cannot be taken as well thanks to the fork on b3
Was thinking of the same move
GingerGM and NM James Canty are the most fun to watch
2nd and last games were the best ever games I've ever seen. With 2nd game Levon almost gave an ache to the opponent
The second game is the ultimate defence. Mad respect to Aronian.🔥
0:07 LeBron Aronian
When a 100 rated player (me) sees a gm move. It was the king e8 move that was obvious to me. King E6 was another option but it doesn’t matter.
Aronian is a magician in endgames.
I have a suggestion for the next player to cover! Topalov's 5 best moves!
These are not "normal" ideas in chess! Genius!
LOL I like how this guys always give a full insight of what was happening in an interesting way. This is the best NM chess coach you could have wished for
When will we get Wesley So's 5 Most Brilliant Chess Moves?
I love wesley so
@@srishtijs1892 same
levon is my favorite now
The second and the fifth game is a beautiful game by GM Levon Zugzwang Aronian
2:14 " I dare you, I double dare you" who else thought that immediately
The last game was absolutely beautifool.
Totally ridicolous, thanks James, with your commentary this is exponentially better to watch!!
2 and 5 savage
Thanks James, I'm now a subscriber.
"There's all kinds of mates, this is a family channel" lmaoooo
What a beast 😱
absolute insaneness
five briliant games and not even mencioned the games against Anand!
L-eh-voh-hn A-rr-oh-n-ee-ah-n!!!!!!
I was expecting another top 5 moves for a lot of timeeeesss
Shirov zugged out all the way to Zug-and-der-Zwang.
1:00 - white returns the bishop to defend mate in 2 with Qxf2 Kd1 Qxf1#
This series is unimaginable without Simon Williams
6:50 I am proud to say this is the only one I found D:
That endgame was beautiful
The best chess commentator ever )
Good stuff !
1:00 Nxc3 a "pretty obvious threat"? What about mate in 2 with Qxf2+ Kd1 Qxf1++ ?
The second game is shocking!
In game 1 when Levon played ..Qc6, was ..Rc2 a possible alternative?
Awesome Moves!!!
"What do you do in this...position!?"
"idk resign?"
How did Ne1 vs. Giri not make this list?
To be fair, this was a hell of a list - every move here seemed so counterintuitive - but I haven't seen the Ne1 move you're talking about, can you link the game? :)
We in here big fellah
b4 and Bb2 vs vidit i saw it live when aronian set a deadly trap to vidit 😅
for the 3rd top move ,who all heard it as Levonian playing "girlfriend"
a-rohn-yan i think is the prononciation
Daring white to take the h8 rook, how sick is that?? I realized that the rook was poisoned, and black ends up queening a pawn or two if the rook is taken.
I guessed all the moves correctly inspite of watching it only twice.
This is amazing.
Amazing moves
Nice guy Canty
at 4:39 I got the move ...Rc2 very quickly. I believe it also wins.
15:08 ÐERE WAS NO NEED TO ATTACK ME SO DIRECTLY, MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the first game isn't nc5 instead of rc8 winning too?
Canty is an awesome host
Last one was epic
I found b4 in the last one ✋
When will we get the best moves of botvinnik
2:12 - "I dare you to move the Knight here 'cause I'm going to take here (axb4)..."
Okay, then I take your Queen with my Knight that I just dared to move there.
You would have to take the Bishop with your Queen.
2nd game i was like whaaaaaaat
4:45 Was Rc2 winning too?
When will we get the best moves of kramnik
It's amaaaaaaaaazing.
that king zungzwang... wow
His voice seems like that of Chef from south park
Yay levon
Hi. After K d7, why couldn't white play e3?
or even Q d4?
It's not really moves, more sequences. Still enjoyed it very much though :)
I want to see Top 5 Mate Escape ♟️
pfffff mind-blowing
Where is ginger gm ? I want him in the videos.
youdidnt reconise two things in the first game number 1 is bxb8 rxb8 was not possible becauseof qa4 checkwinning the bishop and the reason why he played bb3 was to defend themate on f2 qxf2 folowed by kd1 qxf1 ismate and white cant support the c3 knight and the main threat to checkmate so hejust decided to defend the mate
That 2nd game vs Shirov was wild!
*Aronian* Wait a minute, Im going to use my essence of Nimzowitsch here....oh yeah.
*Shirov* oh no #@$^! essence of Nimzowitsch! Arrrgggh!!! Zugzwang shenanigans!
I like james canty but i miss ginger gm with the explosion :(
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And of course b4 is the move in game 5. It's the best move in any position 🤣 - Agad.
