3:20 You don't even need to capture the Queen right away. You can make something funny and beautiful there: Kh8 (only legal move) Bb2+ Qg7 (since Bd4 leads to Bxd4+ and Qf6 to Bxf6#) Qf4 (so now Qxb2 is impossible because you have Qf8+ Rxf8 exf8=Q#) and there White has a double threat: Qf8+ (with the idea of exf8=Q#) and Qf7 (with the idea of Qxg7# or Bxf7#). There is no defence against that. The King is trapped, the Queen can't move and the other pieces are completely useless. All the options fail: Nd7 defends only f8, Rxe7 and Nd6 defend only f7, and Bd4 or Bxf2+ only give one more move to Black (met by Bxd4 and Kxf2).
Alireza has the self confidence not to play the most obvious moves, even when they are winning, but to finish the games in stile,like the great champions.

Hes not better, but he's still very proficient. His defence can't be broken through and right after that he can push up. As seen here he can predict very far and he can develop all his troops in 2 moves
Firouzja is EQUAL to Carlsen if they're at the same age. The difference is that Carlsen is POSITIONAL like Karpov, while Firouzja is TACTICAL like Anand/Kasparov.
"The Beast of Baku" ... and now we see the emergence of "The Razor of Babol". Evocative, violent nicknames are much more fun than "The Mozart of Chess", for example.
Actually having a situation where a knight promotion wins the game on the spot is absolutely brutal. His opponent might have been thinking "I might be able to hold this, he can't promote without losing his queen and his knight" and then he just sees Ali slide a knight onto the table and he goes "Well... gg"
Love the way Ali plays chess -- attacking style. Magnus is obviously a great champion but he does not attack and win games in a spectacular fashion like Ali. A world championship match between these two would the match of the decade!
That last one was my favourite, I got 3 out of the 5 before that after staring at it for quite some time. But the last one I saw and thought it would not work at all. and on top of that the under promotion was lethal.
5:38 why can't black play Bc7? It stops white from queening the pawn, and if white checks, black king can move. With black's bishop and rook working together it could easily deny the pawn and rook.

I knew that he would under promote to knight because if he promotes to a new queen, rook can easily capture the old queen. And I already knew the checkmating pattern 😎😎

2:25 Nh6 also works e6 mates
queen can be the rook and bishop, but not knight. Knight can capture the queen without exchange.

Winning by knight promotion is freezing cool
second to winning by castling
this is more amzing to win with a knight promotion than a queen promotion. because this is part of a tactical forced chekmate.
Mvl did the same type of mate by promoting to a knight
you mean firouzing cool? :3
I don't know why but e8=N+ is the first move I thought about ^^
2:50
Simon: The tactical idea here should be easy to spot.
Me: fork the king and queen.
Simon: No you philistine, you sack a rook for mate.
lmao i tough i was smart for seing the fork but i guess im an idiot
I saw Rxg6 but I didn't even see the fork. Guess that makes me a super duper GM ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@Asztalot wrong time. Go to 2:51 and you will see it.
ok cmon, Im a pretty shitty player myself but that mate was extremely obvious. Kh8 Bb2 was easy to see as well
Lol
the knight promotion is just brutal
He wasn't just trying to beat his first opponent, he wanted to ruin his life, give him nightmares for the rest of his days.
😂😂😂Honestly
Lol 😂😂😂
As like fischer as he says, he want to crush his opponents will not just defeat him.
Alireza has the self confidence not to play the most obvious moves, even when they are winning, but to finish the games in stile,like the great champions.
Aleksandar Aleksandrov why do you have the same first and last name
@@dr.mikelitoris because my grandfather was also Aleksandar, and we take the grandfather´s name as a last name, not all the people do that in Bulgaria, some of the Familys have one family name for all members ,as in the most countries, they didn´t have to change it with every new born child.
Aleksandar Aleksandrov oh hey that’s pretty cool
By the way, it’s spelled “style.” Just thought I’d let you know.
The story of your name is pretty cool 😁
The last one kinda reminded me that a pawn can be turned into a piece other than the queen.
It’s always either knight or queen tho, because bishop and rook are just worse versions of queen
@@orioio5940 Not true, sometimes you need to underpromote to avoid stalemate
@@matthiasmobius3229 ooo good point didn’t think about that!
This guy is definitely gonna be the next World Champion, calling it now.
wrong
@@trafon31 how can you know ? Alireza was 2800 youngest than magnus
"Pure violence" indeed. Thanks for the breakdown and special effects.
Incredible how a player that young can already have so many gems.
dude he at the same age as me but i am still stuck at 1000
@@muhumedmohamud2356 damn

Bringin the knight was wooooooooo
1, 4, or 5. Probably 1 is the best sequence of moves. Such sharp attacking!
pure display of power - it´s difficult but possible to see such moves but in my experience it´s very easy to miss the correct follow up
Only simon can do such a commentary.
Amazing analysis of the amazing games of the young teen boy. Thanks a lot to Simon.
Let's appreciate Simon for his funny presentation skills 😂
3:20
I also think Firouzja will be Carlsen's major challenger. He has the "firepower" to be the world champion.
Hes better than carlsen
Same thing y'all said About Fabio. 😂
Hes not better, but he's still very proficient. His defence can't be broken through and right after that he can push up. As seen here he can predict very far and he can develop all his troops in 2 moves
@@NerdyDave Caruana is no worse in classical but he is no match in speed chess. Alireza is equal to Carlsen in bullet already at 17.
Firouzja is EQUAL to Carlsen if they're at the same age. The difference is that Carlsen is POSITIONAL like Karpov, while Firouzja is TACTICAL like Anand/Kasparov.
I really like your presentation/communication skills, slick editing too, bravo
#1 - the tactical foresight and complexity is pure genius
Alireza Firouzja is the next world champion, can't understand his dislike by various people
You literally have 11 million subscribers and only 3 likes ?
promoting the knight to lock in the checkmate was brutal! what a move.
Jez, the first was pure brutality, the second was uncanny beauty, but man, the third was art to me. Love this player.
"The Beast of Baku" ... and now we see the emergence of "The Razor of Babol".
Evocative, violent nicknames are much more fun than "The Mozart of Chess", for example.
Agree, more fun. But Magnus still deserves that one though.
One of the best 5 moves series
Really like Alireza's style ...i think he is going to be champion sooner or later
Simon's beard gets more and more enigmatic let alone signature
the knight promotion was insane
It’s been years since I’ve played a game of chess I don’t know why I love these videos so much
Actually having a situation where a knight promotion wins the game on the spot is absolutely brutal. His opponent might have been thinking "I might be able to hold this, he can't promote without losing his queen and his knight" and then he just sees Ali slide a knight onto the table and he goes "Well... gg"
When I saw this I closed my book and said last video I'll watch.
In the first one... instead of e6, Bg5 also leads to a mating attack that combines knight, bishop, and queen
Jesus. Time flies. One can already watch a two year old 'best moves by Firouzja' video..........the lad has just started!!
This is so much fun to watch
my fav one is obviously the last one which preferred the knight over the queen advantage, astonishing, interesting, aggressive!
My favorite young player.
Amazing player!
Can we get a video of his 5 most brilliant non-chess moves?
GM Simon is awesome as awesome is Firouzja. Thank you man for all your stuffs. Mr. GM.
That knight promotion was the coldest move ever 🥶
wow that knight promotion blew me away
Love the way Ali plays chess -- attacking style. Magnus is obviously a great champion but he does not attack and win games in a spectacular fashion like Ali. A world championship match between these two would the match of the decade!
Ai is stronger than humans clown 🥴
I would watch cricket analysis if it was done by Simon Williams. You rock my man!
The first game was insane!! Tactics. Tactics. Tactics.
That last one was my favourite, I got 3 out of the 5 before that after staring at it for quite some time. But the last one I saw and thought it would not work at all. and on top of that the under promotion was lethal.
Dude I love this series. It's fantastic. But you gotta do 5 brilliant moves of Anand too! Please make it your next video
2:53 I thought it was Ne7+, forking king and queen.
I'm a major Fan of this Ch. Well Done on so many levels. As for this Video, entertaining, enlightening & enjoyable. Thanks, ... Mike.

As Magnus mentioned, Alireza is devilishly tricky!
I like your analyze. You do a great job.
Great video. Exciting times.
Love to see a world championship between Magnus and Alireza
Those moves were MIND BLOWING.
5:38 why can't black play Bc7? It stops white from queening the pawn, and if white checks, black king can move. With black's bishop and rook working together it could easily deny the pawn and rook.
The whole concept against Dubov is fascinating
That knight promotion was just out of the blue
That last knight promotion was BRUTALLLLLL :((
I loved it that it was a knight that was added to the game...
I'll guess that they decided to do firouzja after that game against fabi lol
Edit: whoops looks like that move didn't even make it in
I thought so too and I was surprised as well
This 16 year old is so good his game winning sac against world n.2 isn't in his top 5
it was an online game and the moves in this video are a lot stronger tbh
Amazing vedio and amazing chess player.. Thx for highlighting these moves
Ive been saying it for 5 years, the next world champion by 2025 is Alireza, and by 2023 he will be the world blitz and bullet champion!
Let's not forget the Persians and Indians invented chess and popularized it, before it came to Europe !
Perry Indiana invented chess, Iranians invented backgammon. Please dont change history.

A última é linda! Ótimo video Simon!
Enjoying this series!!
This is from the future and alireza is currently destroying engines now
he became the youngest player to break 2800 barrier.
he very well could be the future world champion
2:10 “if the bishop is taken” it’s a pawn
What? Delete this video immediately!
@Leth Mab, LOL
Great series of videos! When are we going to see "5 More Brilliant Chess Moves - Part 2", and Part 3, .......... Keep up the good analysis.
Alireza is in monster phase now
The freaking razor photoshops had me shitting myself laughing 😂😂😂😂
Great video. Thank you for posting this.
Literally me after Firouzja's Knight Promotion: "Wait, I thought pawn promotion to a queen is the rule."
love visual effect boomss!!!
very nice video montage I have enjoyed this
That’s why Magnus called him tricky player...
Firouzja remind us Fischer. Fischer also plays many strong tournaments and WCH matches several times.
@2:52 there is also Ne7
I thought about most of these moves, each time thinking: "Does this absurd sacrifice work? That would be funny..."
This kid is amazing. He's the only one I see that might challenge Carlsen
How about Nihal? :)
very nice lesson .thanks man.
When i watch Mr.Carlsen and Mr. Karjhakhin, i think i will be stronger. (13 years old Ali Reza.)
6:00 isn’t rook b8 more crushing and cleaner than rook c7?
actually rb8 allows king to come up and black plays ke7 simply
I knew that he would under promote to knight because if he promotes to a new queen, rook can easily capture the old queen. And I already knew the checkmating pattern 😎😎
Nice beard,Simon,thanks for your time,mate!
Nice moves but u made it even better Simon 👍🏻
Can you please show the last game of Alireza and then Magnus. His movs are stanshing.

I see chess getting pretty big on RUclips
Wow! very good!!! Congratulations!!!
What is the winning plan for white at 7:35? It seems to me that black can play f5 and corral the g6 pawn to put up plenty of resistance
Tactic number 1, brilliant!
Ali-razor is so sharp .. Firouzja is freezing his opponents.. I like to see him future world champion .
3:20 You don't even need to capture the Queen right away.

3:29 Simon that's not a checkmate what about Q>e6?
queen will just take
He is the only one who can take down Magnus. And Magnus knows it too.
Magnus KNOWS IT too
Thank you, had a good laugh!
@@D0rlisok he did
3:39 not checkmate, beacuse black can move a queen e6, after queen takes queen by the white pieces and then checkmate.
Rook is guarding that square
Y'all are going to have update this video to top 50.
man, these tactics are sick !
