To sum up, here are my choices for the Gazprom Brilliancy Prize: 1 Dvirnyy-Shirov 3 points, 2 Anand-Maghsoodloo 2 points, 3 Noritsyn-So 1 point. We will have to wait for the other judges, and then FIDE will add up the points and a winner declared. I will let you all know as soon as possible when there is an announcement.
Incredible Queen dance and sacrifice topped by several beautiful variations leading to checkmate. It makes me play the Slav defense, because obviously what matters is HOW you play it. Truly inspirational game.
Hi. I love your channel! I am just an amateur player, but started to look at Mato Jelic and then Agadmators channel. Suddenly I found yours and I am delited. The language, the insights the choices are just superb. Thanks!
I agree, what a fantastic game. I loved every move of it! And I've been drinking your tea, Daniel and thanks to it I'm back playing at my GM-level of 40y ago....
For a change it was great to watch a game that did not start with continuous takes so both sides finish with a rook and a few pawns hence it eventually ends up in a draw or a passed pawn; meanwhile everyone is dead, your soldiers, enemy soldiers (pawns), all the horses, the elephants (bishops). The king goes back to his land on his own. Here you go for the direct move and sacrifice the prime minister (queen) for the benefit of everyone else. !! Thanks for a very nice analysis. You are lucky , no matter what happens to the Shahs on the board you remain the King.
Very Morphy Alekine and Tal like! Oh I must add the beast Kasparov! Thank you! Shirov still can create fire 🔥 on the board! Sacred geometry! Beauty Sublime!

This game was definitely worth seeing again! Be interesting to see what the other judges have on their short lists. But if they choose another game, I can only imagine what a barn burner that would be!
When somebody like Shirov or Tal sacs a queen, you don't need to calculate it and try to refute it. Just politely turn down the offer. You would have saved yourself lot of brain energy, saved time on the clock and avoided embarrassment.
8:42 waw Qh3 I though for a brief moment that Shirov repeated this alien like sacrifice as he did against Topalov in this famous ending. But the finish is not bad either.
Hi Danny, i would prefer wesley so game which was more creative and brilliant.. that would be my choice:) not the second game coz that was vishy losing:(
They should increase the squares and give chess 9 or 10 rows in both directions. It would fucking destroy even the best of computers and maybe return this game to some normalcy without relying on computers nonstop.
The big question is did Shirov see all of those variations? Or was it part intuition? I understand he is a formidable talent. But often formidable talents have incredible intuition also!
Daniel, since you're on heady Shirov bender these days :) and in case you missed it at the time, Shirov laid down another beautiful miniature against Ju Wenjun at the Prague Challengers last year. Would love to hear your play-by-play on this one! www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1947043
The first queen sacrifice was more complex (and much more surprising!), yet Dvirny correctly delined, but then he incorrectly allowed the second one (which could not be declined in a reasonable way). I wonder what exactly he missed there... It's the same basic mechanism after all. Did he see until that Nc5 sac in the first variation and think "well, without that knight, this doesn't work anymore", and then missed a rather "simple" (in comparison) back rank invasion? Or was it time trouble maybe?
I dont understand why White plays f4 (at 6:52), which is really good or really bad. It's really bad for white when you cannot trap the black queen, but at 8:09 he plays Nc1 and offers a Queentrade. Why is in this position suddenly a Queentrade okay for white with the weak Squares on e4 and g4?
To sum up, here are my choices for the Gazprom Brilliancy Prize:
1 Dvirnyy-Shirov 3 points, 2 Anand-Maghsoodloo 2 points, 3 Noritsyn-So 1 point.
We will have to wait for the other judges, and then FIDE will add up the points and a winner declared. I will let you all know as soon as possible when there is an announcement.
It's interesting that in each case the player responsible for the brilliant idea had the black pieces.
Amazing lines, Amazing variations, who better than Danny to cover it in such elegant manner!!

Theres one plus to having a terrible memory I can enjoy games shortly after I already watched them on Daniels channel.
Just when you think the jaw-dropping variations have been exhausted , Danny finds another one. What a game, what an analysis.
That was freaking great and all from a player at the end of his career. Another great one from planet Shirov.
exponent mantissa
Is dvirnyy at the end of his career? Don’t know him, but you can’t be talking about Schirov 😉
Absolut unbelievabel ! Das alles während einer Schnellpartie zu sehen ist eine großartige Leistung!
Great game choice and so well explained. The name is King, Daniel King.
Absolutely

Brilliant game, excellent commentary. Thank you, Mr. King.

Ummph. That game brings a whole new meaning to the term 'mating net'. Beautiful.

Very good choice. The game gets better each time. But respect also to Dvirnyy for getting into a brawl with Shirov. That requires a lot of courage.
Who in there right mind would give this video a thumbs down, madness this was a fantastic game to learn from.
There is fire on the board. Great game by Shirov
Amazing game!
even better watching the 2nd time around.
Amazing lines. I was shocked during the video.
This game was definitely worth seeing again! Be interesting to see what the other judges have on their short lists. But if they choose another game, I can only imagine what a barn burner that would be!
There is no such thing as watching "The Godfather" too many times. Same with Daniel's analysis of any chess game, least of all a Shirov-classic.
Aptly put good sir
my mum was a huge fan and one afternoon we closed the curtains and watched all the movies back to back. Love this game too!!
Watched it twice already. I can't imagine how Shirov or any one for that matter can calculate those queen sacs in a rapid game.
It IS brilliant for sure. As well as the coverage)
I think this game should have a prize for the most brilliant game, not just of the tournament , but of the year.
It's interesting that all three of your picks for the Brilliancy prize are black wins!
Fabulous game by Shirov. I would like to see him play so if the top players.
Amazing sacs, i wonder, had he already seen the mating paterns when he played the rook on c4?!
Thank you mr. King. Do you happen to know any of the other judges?
Other YouYubers and streamers
I believe you are right Danny!
This is incredible
Sorry for being late, but Happy Teacher's day Danny..🙂
When somebody like Shirov or Tal sacs a queen, you don't need to calculate it and try to refute it. Just politely turn down the offer. You would have saved yourself lot of brain energy, saved time on the clock and avoided embarrassment.
If Tal or Shirov does it, you should calculate. If Karpov or Petrosian does it, you should resign.
Watched second time as if it was the first one
Really brilliant!!
That´s the best. Shirov on fire
I love this channel 👍😃
One request, can you show the board from winner side
Shirov can put fire on board. Somehow his games remind me Mikhail Tal's games.
Great vid thanks
Like Shirov himself once said: Fire on board
Great game, his opponent simply had no counter play. I think that pawn push Daniel mentioned as very ambitious is the losing move.
8:42 waw Qh3 I though for a brief moment that Shirov repeated this alien like sacrifice as he did against Topalov in this famous ending. But the finish is not bad either.
Super attack by a super attacker! somehow not surprising
Indeed he played a role! He played the main character, who got run over by a train
Haha
if this game doesnt win i'd love to see the winner
Hi Danny, i would prefer wesley so game which was more creative and brilliant.. that would be my choice:) not the second game coz that was vishy losing:(
What a clickbait... Double upload :P
They should increase the squares and give chess 9 or 10 rows in both directions. It would fucking destroy even the best of computers and maybe return this game to some normalcy without relying on computers nonstop.
the winning match gets another video
The big question is did Shirov see all of those variations? Or was it part intuition? I understand he is a formidable talent. But often formidable talents have incredible intuition also!
A move like ...Rc4 was played on intuition, but when you give up your queen for nothing, that is calculation - which Shirov can do brilliantly!
12:13 Oh, come on! You haven't come this far not to play the knight check...
My money's on Shirov's game, too.
King in one punch man is definitely inspired by Daniel King... Both looks similar..😅

Thanks for the suggestion Rob, Nice game!

Maybe he was low on time??
I dont understand why White plays f4 (at 6:52), which is really good or really bad. It's really bad for white when you cannot trap the black queen, but at 8:09 he plays Nc1 and offers a Queentrade. Why is in this position suddenly a Queentrade okay for white with the weak Squares on e4 and g4?
He changed his mind according to the circumstances. That's normal in life as in chess.
@@PowerPlayChess But then its clear that f4 is just a bad move and that white is worse.
Again, like in life, hindsight is always 20/20
What a sexy COVID mullet...
shirov is dangerous
SO WHY IS SHIROV NOT WORLD CHAMP?!
I don’t want to play Shirov.
