- Featured is an excellent positional game from the 13th and final round of the 2023 Tata Steel Masters Chess Tournament between Anish Giri and Richard Rapport. The opening is a Sicilian Defense, Richter-Rauzer with Rapport opting for the Dragon Variation. This decision by Rapport to play g6 allows Giri to create several weaknesses in black's camp. In exchange for these weaknesses Rapport obtains the bishop pair. There is a big fight over the d5 square throughout with Giri's queen knight walking away as the MVP. This win by Giri propelled him past Nodirbek Abdusattorov in the tournament standings to become the 2023 Tata Steel Masters Champion.

Jerry's voice is so different in this one. Great chess analysis as always.
Good ear, and thank you. I began recording this one not too long after I woke up.
really enjoyed this breakdown. you're the best to do it, Jerry.
I think Anish is playing the best chess of his career.
He finally didn’t take 2nd!
To me, you are the most enjoyable and instructive chess comentator! Thanks as usual for your great work
Thanks for the compliment. 👍
Please make more Videos!! Nobody breaks down chess games as good as you do. I learned so much from your coverage of the Carlson vs Caruana Match I would love to see more!
Thank you for another video :)
Once again I find so much value in your coverage of a game that has been hard to miss. You capture the story, "big blunder!", but go into genuine analysis of moves that set the stage. I took away a tremendous respect for how Rapport played up until and even into that blunder, seeing how much sense it makes to play that losing move unless you calculate something very specific. I wonder how many new players look for their own double-exclam!! without seeing the natural, improving moves you attributed to both players here. Thank you; encore!
Great to hear that. 👍
That’s for that explanation about Giri’s early bishop shuffle, misplacing Black’s bishop and disconnecting the Queen and the d6 pawn. That was helpful! 👏👏👍🏽👍🏽🙏🙏
Best commentator on here! Thank you!
Happy to finally see your subs Jerry , we’ll deserved man !! To many more
Nice game and nice explanation. Thanks, Jerry.
And don't ever change your intro or outro; they're perfect.
I've never saw a King so claustrophobic. The position where black resigns, he's absolutely smothered by white pieces
Congrats on 500K
Congrats to Giri for winning the tournament, and well done Jerry on 500k subs!
Thank you Ryan.
I always wished for Giri to win something major. Happy for him.
congrats for 500k subs.
👍
It was a golden knight indeed. Hopping to holes on the chessboard crushed Black in the end. Awesome game to watch, Jerry, thanks a lot :)
Thank you 👍
Thanks Jerry! Great analysis of a great game by Giri.

Brilliant game. Brilliant commentary!
Great video as always :)
Congrats on the 500000 Jerry!!! You are the best!
Oooh positional game! Good napping material ☺️
If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out Sagar Shah's interview with Giri on the chessbase india channel. He spends more than an hour going through his thoughts throughout the games, and in particular ends the stream with a solid 10 minute analysis of this game.
Another great one Jerry
"this is the mvp of the game" :P love it being referred to a chess piece!
It’s morning voice Jerry!
It is! 😎
jerry talks, i listen.
TY, GM!
Brilliant!
Thanks
Can you put the images of players
"The half-dead pawn." XD

And in this position, Giri sacrified... the QUEEN
Hi Jerry, this is unrelated to the video, but your positional play is very impressive. Do you have any books you recommend to build this skill?
Thank you. “Positional Decision Making in Chess” by Boris Gelfand is excellent.
@@ChessNetwork thanks, will definitely check it out.
@@ChessNetwork I’ve been hearing that it’s only for master level players and above but I’m 1900 uscf. Is that the impression you got when reading it?
First of all, congratulations for the 500k milestone.
Big blunder with Kg6, but I don't really see the draw ideas with all the other 4 options; and more considering the fact than 3 of them may be losing the a pawn (while the white Queen still protects check on the black diagonal). Black would still have to deal with his isolated d pawn and against the strong white Knight (which also protects other checks). And eventually, Rf1 is really strong.
So even without the blunder, black position seems really hard to defend. Maybe it's draw from computer perspective, but not an easy end game playing with black.
Plus I mean...this is Rapport. He is a notoriously aggressive and unconventional player that plays to keep his opponent constantly off-balance in ways the computer tends to hate but has given him enough results to be here at Tata Steel with the best of the super GMs...Kg6 is, if nothing else, right in his wheelhouse. He also had no reason to play for a draw and was clearly looking for a win as black from the start. It was final round and he wasn't in the running for placement so he went for, not surprisingly, the more confrontational line.
Black might lose that pawn, but he's up a pawn before a blunder, so it's not that bad. It looks like the black king will find g6 to be a cozy home if the white queen grabs that pawn, whereas white's king is completely exposed. So if we had, say, 34... Kh8 35. Qa8+ Kh7 36. Qxa7 Kg6, it's white that will have one or two only moves to preserve the draw.
Why did I hear you say he's playing "Richer Rapper" lol
😀
Hi Jerry.
