Hi! I know that it was just a rapid game but could you talk about what Magnus did right and Wesley did wrong in their second game of the third round in the CCT finals? How does Wesley manages to go so wrong in a absolutely winning position as white and how does Magnus save it so well as black?
You have done so much to promote Hastings that my son and I have now registered for the CON POWER tournament. Your game against Bareev was really excellent. You intuitively made exactly the right decision to attack on the kingside. No GM does that nowadays unless he has prepared it beforehand with the computer. The tactical solution was extremely difficult to find: the queen sacrifices itself for a clear line of fire for the double bishop shotgun. Great!
Whenever someone says "shotgun" I think not only of Doris Day as Calamity Jane but this groovy song ruclips.net/video/rXSATScJYRo/видео.html from 1965. It's fab innit! The unknown sideman larking about is one J. Hendrix, pre-fame.
I think any GM can figure out that attack is strong. But the missed final blow that is stuff of legends. But I think a lot of current top GM would find it
Back in 1979 I played a board among a couple of dozen in a simul against Samuel Reshevsky. I had been nursing a lost position for a while and finally resigned. When I got home, I replayed the game and when I got to the final position, I saw it. I could have forced a stalemate. Somehow we had wandered into a drawn position and I missed it. My lost swindle against one of the greatest chess players of all time.
I remeber a,story told by Nigel Short about his first experience in Hastings they put him in a hotel room that basically had a hole in the wall and he got pneumonia as a concequence !
About five years ago we visited Hastings chess club with 20 members of dutch partner city Dordrecht. Enjoyed meeting their members and playing rapid in that beautiful location!
That was really a beautiful combination . And quite unusual too . Missing that continuation brings to mind the old saw … “ if ifs and buts were candies and nuts , Oh what a party we’d have “. Nevertheless thank you for showing us that entertaining game .
Well done for being big enough to share this (and great vid, as usual) - that combination strikes me as incredibly difficult to spot, even at high levels. Is there a nice extension where Black plays 1. ... Qxd2+ after 1. Ng6? Then 2. Kxd2 is met by 2. ... Bxb4+ and the knight can be taken safely as the bishop on e6 is now protected, and I think Black is fine. However, ignoring the queen with 2. Kf1! wins - 2. ... Qd3+ is simply met by 3. Kg1/2 and if 2. ... Bc4+ 3. Bxc4 Qd3+ then we ignore the queen again with 4. Kg1/2!
If you didn't have a slurp of tea after Be7 then you only have yourself to blame 😉 Beautiful combinations! Such a shame the world was never treated to this game
I am more and more convinced that for every 'immortal' moment that is taken there are many more that are missed. As an enthusiastic but mediocre club player I find it reassuring to see that even 2,500 players can miss opportunities although in this case I am not surprised it was missed. In November 2022 I had an advantage against a much stronger player. I had loads of time and just could not find the breakthrough. In the end I played a sub optimal move and he ended up surviving and the game was drawn. Afterwards it took Stockfish less than a second to find the most elegant of knockout moves. The move was one I had not even considered at the time!! Like Danny I have forgotten all about it!!!!
Bareev was a top 5 player in the 1990 to 1992 time frame. No shame in losing to such a guy. note, that 2590 was good enough to be world class back then.
Gold coins and beautiful women - an unlikely scenario for most chess players. Glad you went for Bareev's jugular once he avoided the tame ...Bxc3. Wonderfully accurate French player with some excellent defensive skills
Hi dear Daniel. I'm sorry to bother you with message, but I hope you can help me with a little problem. I've ordered from Italy your book King's Antisicilian for Black from the platform suggested by you, "New in Chess". It has passed more than 40 days from my order and I did't received the book and the customer care doesn't refund me... May you help me please?:'(
I find it baffling to see good players being so materialistic willing to compromise their own positions for a measly pawn. In some positions, it is definitely advisable to capture a pawn but it shouldn't come at the expense of the quality of your piece play or trading off an important bishop, for instance that leaves you with a network of weak squares. Being greedy is not a virtue. It can be downright foolish and misguided. These people are slaves to lifelong conditioning to put material possessions in front of sound strategic implications. One of my most satisfying chess games to play is when I get to punish greedy pursuits with active play and a dangerous attack. I love to watch people suffer the consequences for their indiscretions.

It takes a certain level of humility to show this game so thank you

@waterskym Original connection! And Jimi Hendrix, shortly before he lit up the rock sky as the brightest comet. Only to burn up five years later...

Hah! I thought you should have called it your Nevergreen!! Watched the stream, loved it.
Fun video. It feels like a treat to see your games, Daniel

Russian winters would be good training for surviving January in a Hastings boarding-house.
This makes me want to recite part of the Blade Runner scene: "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
One of the best scenes in film history ❤
Incredible. Thanks for sharing with us!
That was great fun. Many thanks for sharing! Tim
Brilliant !
Nice in an understatement❤❤❤

Wow that was exciting. Oh the what if's and maybe's. That could have been the game that launched you to the World Championship!
what a set of variations! Amazing
Just wonderful Daniel ty
A beautiful mate, which you tragically missed. Thanks for humbly showing us this disaster.

Yes! Didn't have time to get into that variation, but really beautiful!
I don't care that it was missed, that was a thing of beauty
If you didn't have a slurp of tea after Be7 then you only have yourself to blame 😉
Beautiful combinations! Such a shame the world was never treated to this game
Thanks for this wonderful game! There must be so many winning positions where the tactics are missed by a hair!

So many beautiful lines... in the notes.
Bareev was a top 5 player in the 1990 to 1992 time frame. No shame in losing to such a guy. note, that 2590 was good enough to be world class back then.
Very beautiful combination.
That win was far from obvious.
Qxe4!! What a move ❤
Gold coins and beautiful women - an unlikely scenario for most chess players. Glad you went for Bareev's jugular once he avoided the tame ...Bxc3. Wonderfully accurate French player with some excellent defensive skills
Only an artist like Tal could find such crazy move 😂😂
Nice! Now show us that game when you played that spectacular combination and won the game!
Being Tal😂
Playing like Tal❤
Truly gutted for you Danny 😞😞😞
Can black sac his queen back (QxD2) to at least extend the game (aiming to further sack B on E7 with tempo to free the square for his king)
No worries, Dan. In case Qxe4 still haunts you, just recall Rf2 and you will be fine.
Did you spell your last name wrong it the title "Kings" ?
Love you channel and insights 🙂
what a shame! Love your modesty!!

What a combination this would have been! Falling short of being immortal, it ended up being immoral.
King's Immortal... defeat. haha entertaining game, all the same!
I guess one might find a lot of missed immortals running through old games with an engine. That was very hard to see.
chess is complicated that GM got confused
Chess is hard.
What might have been... oh well.

Garry the G-pawn, Fischer the F-pawn? Lolz. Carlsen the C-pawn. Or should it be Gukesh, the g-pawn now?
Shaving ads, babes, fame -what a variation.
