  • Featured is an instructive bullet chess game between Alireza Firouzja and Magnus Carlsen from the 2023 Bullet Chess Championship. Carlsen chooses the Dragon variation of the Sicilian Defense, and parries Firouzja's attempt of a dark-squared bishop exchange with 8...h5. One way to view Firouzja's decision to castle kingside is that it made h5 less meaningful. Watch as Firouzja, with pawn play alone, provokes a couple of weaknesses on Carlsen's queenside. The result was a rare and aesthetic 18-move defeat of Carlsen where Firouzja registered an accuracy of 99%.

      Well, its Firouzja, known for being an absolute monster in blitz.

    • @wallysullivan9315
      @wallysullivan9315 4 месяца назад +14

      Not only is it Firouzja, but also 18 moves is not that long of a time to play perfectly. The opening is basically always 100% and at 18 moves you've barely left that. Couple that with easily exploitable mistakes by your human opponent and this is not unusual for a Super GM at all.

    Question for Jerry or just the audience in general... How much of this do you guys consider luck? I asked because my ratings pretty terrible especially in bullet, however I have played some games on pretty good days with some very very high accuracy, some of that was me being on point on that given day, but a lot of it felt like luck as well. What do you guys think?

    • @chesspunk489
      @chesspunk489 4 месяца назад +1

      The only luck involved is the chance that your opponent is going to make a mistake.

    • @FahimHoq
      @FahimHoq 4 месяца назад +3

      For us amateurs, bullet time control involves lot of luck since we are not great at calculating lines at such speed, so sometimes the tactics work out, and other times, it does not. I would advice playing slower time control like rapid, where we have time to calculate, this mitigates the luck element and also would help improve your understanding of the game lot more.

    • @ghost79ish
