Doesn't Yasser Seirawan seem like a great guy? Whenever I see him commenting or teaching or whatever, he just comes across as very kindhearted and likable: a polite and well-spoken gentleman with a warm personality.
Wait...what was the winning move after Howell's supposed mistake in this Vancura rook and pawn endgame ? When you show such a difficult endgame , you must be accurate and thorough in your presentation .
Wow, a Seirawan lecture, and also it's the endgame series! Very enjoyable and instructive, as expected. The story with Vassily Ivanchuk's endgame was hilarious :-D
I'm pretty sure chessbase has a combination of keys to insert a null move. you don't need to waste moves to reach same position with other side to move.
Hikaru should have played Kg3 (not h3 as suggested by Yasser). You can just load the engine to study the position... The idea is the king can guard the pawn to h2. Then get black rook at Rg1, and black king can zigzag to avoid check while white rook can't save h1 promotion at the same time.
@10:22 Yassir was completely right. Kg2 loses on the spot, because the black king is able to get back to the pawn and switch roles with the rook with h4, Rd4, Kg3, Rd3+, Kf2, Rd2+, Ke3 is gg.
Well people, these videos obviously aren't meant for the YT audience at first hand but to the club members on site. I've never had any problems following these videos.

Yasser did not even show how black is suppose to win in the howell-nakamura game. it seemed like he was seeing that ending for the first time

Superb endgame Video Great to see Yasser back in St Louis.

I did not understand what was the move Hikaru played and what he needed to play to win
he played Ke3??, but needed to play Kg3!!
Rumor is he's still in recovery mode......it was brutal.

Isn't Philidor from the 18th century?!?
Soo... what was the win for Hikaru?

After Rd4, Kg3! is the Black win in the Nakamura game.
