Actually Bd3 is not that hard to find. I saw it in couple of seconds when Kf3 was first mentioned. I would never have come up with double sacrifice though. I have seen some players at my level doing such things, but I can't find those kinds of moves with ease.
@@AnkhArcRod Actually Bd3 is really hard to find. I couldn't find it after hours of rewatching thos video. Nor was I able to see it when Kf3 was mentioned, I dont even know what kf3 means. Or Bd3. But that double sacrifice was basically child's play.
@@zachh3296 Thats interesting. Im a 1200 rapid player (2000 puzzle) and I found that bishop move rightaway, but the other brilliant moves I had no idea.
I'm relatively new to high level chess. You mentioned "modern play" and it made me wonder: are there any videos out there reviewing very old games in the context of "this is what the meta used to be and why it wouldn't be done this way anymore" ?
You can know what the meta used to be. You can know what the new meta is. But not _why!_ A computer does not think using intuition. I doubt even high level players know the reasons why! You can come up with an explanation, but different people will come up with different explanations. Let me give you an example. A Classic Sicilian Defense. 1. e5 c5 (this is the Sicilian's requirement) 2. Nf3 (this is the Kingside Horse for White) 2. ... d6! (this is curious! Since all it does is support the first Black pawn. Why??) Or, or... 1. e5 c5 (this is the Sicilian's requirement) 2. Bc4 (this is Kishop-3, or the Kingside Bishop diagonally 3 squares) (additionally, this Bishop targets the weak Black King's f7 square albeit just by itself) 2. ... e6! (RUclipsrs say this move ‘blocks’ the Bishop. Funny, because a sole Bishop cannot attack. My best guess is instead of blocking, it _prepares the Centre Attack of d5!_ But you can't know what a computer thinks...)
Chess commentators on Hikaru : "This is an amazing, elegant and beautiful game that is one of the best games ever played." Hikaru on Hikaru: "This might just be a bad idea and I don't know how to play chess"
That really was impressive. I love watching a match where someone is able to sacrifice major pieces to accomplish a great offensive strategy. Rarely do I get to see someone checkmate his opponent while down two majors. That was a fun one to watch. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not a GM, but someone pls explain this 'tactical solution' that is mentioned at 14:50. Yes, if the queen takes on G2, he will loose the queen with G4, but what if white doesn't take, and just move KG4 instead? I've tried to see why that wouldn't work and I just can't find the solution for black to check mate, or even gain significant material. F5 would be the (my) natural move to force KxG5 - But I can't find the line that wins for black after that. Someone help pls :)
At minute 7:00 The knight on f3 doesn't have to take black knight on e5. Simply White knight can move to h4 and force an exchange of the bishops. The black knight is totally useless on e5 and can NOT attack anything meaningful.
The backwards knight move suggested around 8:30-9:00, is that considered a tactical idea or a positional idea? The line that helps develop your bishop. How would you practice finding stuff like that? Usually a tactical idea ends in a capture or a favorable trade.
I paused at 2:19 to guess the moves but it was a bit hard to see them since the opening explorer covers the board. The rest of the video was nice to watch though!
Pretty good game. I have to say I didn't consider playing Bc6 either but the idea of making that battery was pretty obvious. I was actually considering the maneuver Qb6-Qa7-Qa8.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: 10:52 Rook takes C3 11:54 Knight takes E4 13:28 Pawn to F6 15:07 Bishop to D3 All four brilliant plays have Hikaru allowing pieces to be taken. I suppose there's no argument that someone can get good at Chess without studying the game after this match. If this is what optimal play is, and it really is a thousand times more anticipative and masterful than the tricks taught by the website, then the skill ceiling is extremely out of reach for anyone hoping to master the game without studying its best games and all.
Can't get sleep knowing that Rook and Knight were taken by *pawns* and it was still a top tier play. Not even trades or anything, just Hikaru setting up a beautiful board.
What a game! I am so happy that I found 3 of 4 brilliant moves except of f6 (I have not seen the previeous videos of Hikaru brillinat moves), that quiet move I find even more beautiful than the sacrifices. Thanx for a great video Sam
Glad you like it! I think my favorite thing about the moves is that they come one right after the other blow - just a beautiful flurry of hammer blows!
Same! Probably because it's in the thumbnail. The brain unconsciously processed the moves Also we were expecting brilliant moves, it's like the puzzles online, you can solve very advanced ones but fail to see the simple ones in actual games. Sorry if I broke your spirit 😬
Thank you Sam. I like the way you comment. First time I have you in my feed.

The devil is in the details, and the sense of a move is often no too hard to grasp, but why it is better than another sensible move, why it might/might not work due to a tactic, or why it needs to be played now or later is often very, very hard to grasp, and of course, Hikaru makes decisions in milliseconds that take me minutes, and he almost never blunders whereas I blunder constantly...
Wow this video is amazing from hikaru and as an amazing of a breakdown from you. I subbed so fast. I am a chess player who can beat 1200 and 1400 computers but I struggle to get my elo higher because I play no openings I just play off feel. What are some openings for white and black that will take me to a higher ELO?
Learn some openings that you can use most of the time for white or black, so have something prepared for e4 and d4 for white, and the corresponding e5 d5 responses. Something like learning the Italian game, the ruy Lopez and the queens gambit should have you pretty well covered as a start. If you’re facing the Sicilian defense the alapin variation is handy to learn to avoid all the theory involved in the Sicilian. You may face other openings than e4 - e5 and d4 - d5, but they are far less common and you probably won’t see them very often

slow and steady except actually it was probably ridiculously fast xD
It's amazing how the castles costs Hans all that activity and the king goes back to e4 anyways for the end of the game

Massively curious as well. Would be very helpful for learning the game in general
Pretty sure, agadmator talks about modern variants of openings when reviewing old classics.

Thank you for your english, very easy to follow.
To beat an engine you need moves he didn't see
congrats on this video, the algorithm seems to like it :)
First brilliant move at 10:51 the rest follow after
@Raj Singh Still nice to have the comment, though I agree with you~ Not everyone cares for principle or wisdom. Love you both. :3
I really liked the famous classical games, would like to see more of them. They inspired me
I definitely have some ideas here as well, but I need time to develop my next project there...
glad the ceiling stockfish updated, now its beating the niemann machine
What engine was used? My engine says slightly different things, and the opening book is also tiny
At minute 7:00 The knight on f3 doesn't have to take black knight on e5. Simply White knight can move to h4 and force an exchange of the bishops. The black knight is totally useless on e5 and can NOT attack anything meaningful.

It's positional. You find those moves by asking yourself which one of your pieces is most unhappy.
Wow Sam, You have quite the viewership! Kudos!
Was the first brilliant move to order a full body scan of Hans for any electronic devices?
how can you see report cart in the game?
Hikaru is a machine
Awesome game! You’re great at explaining the moves too easy to follow.
Did Hikaru calculate through all four of those brilliancies at the same time? Or even two of them?
Wow, this is good chess content. Subscribing.
0:51 how do i get this?
14:48 if king h3 why not bishop back to f5? Isnt that checkmate?
oh queen e6 forces check and then takes bishop
