By rule, you always eplace the piece on the board before hitting the clock... if you hit the clock first without promoting like he did here it's an automatic loss.
Well, I would have preferred the camera angle from the opposite side of the board, so the players' available times would be visible. And, while we're at it, though it has nothing to do with the camera, let's position the starting positions of the pieces, so the correct algebraic notation is shown. That might not matter for the players, but it can - and, in this case, already did - confuse us kibitzers analyzing the game after-the-fact.
Exactly. These online kibitzers are just sooo clever when they see someone else play. People should learn chess etiquette and not criticize chess players for making mistakes, even for blunders. Especially when it's a timed blitz game. Chess players should know this!
Fun to watch... brought back some old memories. There were a number of missed opportunities on both sides. White missed: (3:59) or (4:17) Bxe5 (winning the pawn, if fxe5, then Qxf8+) (4:40) Nxe5 (similar idea); and the biggest miss was (5:53) Rxf8+ (if Kxf8, then Bxc5+ forking the K and R (on a3).
BEFORE THE GAME STARTED THE BLACK MAN SAID THAT IT'S 5$ A TIME LIMIT FOR A GAME IS 5 MINUTES. WELL I TIMED THE GAME & IT WAS OVER 5 MINUTES. + THAT WHITE DUDE NEVER PAID FOR HIS GAME
That stoner was better than the average walk-up player, but he was wise to walk away after the draw. The black dude's level of play was going to mysteriously increase once he knew that his opponent was gonna hang around for a while at $5 a shot.
John Conwiemer you can't compare his level to ratings i knew people with ratings of 1589 who decreased to 1530 in one tournament so rating doesn't matter.
+Nazih Benkhelfa lol at our highest league in chess our boards haven't any chiffres at the side :D an empty board ;) every good player should play without these "helps" ;)
@shaurz Bishops can move as far as they want diagonally, Knights they can move in an L shape, no diagonal moves, 2 moves ithe same direction, then left or right. They can also move once left or right, then 2 moves in the same direction. The Rooks can move as far as they want in 1 direction, no diagonal. The queen moves any direction, diagonal, straight or sideways as far as she can. King moves only 1 block any direction. Pawns 2 moves on first move, then only 1 straight. Attack diagonal only.
Minute 5:59, the move to make was Rxf8+,taking the bishop (the board is wrongly set), then Bxc4+ thus winning a piece, plus other misses and mistakes, overall decent game.
Can't believe white didn't win this ... at 7:22 instead of c6, simple h4+ wins easily (e.g. ... Kh5, Kh3 f5 (only move), exf5 gxf5 and after R8d6 black can just resign) - a computer may even find a forced mate in like 15-20 moves. Although c6 is still winning even R8d3 should be preferred, still the rook + bishop vs rook ending can be painful if you don't know your endings...
At 4:14, instead of Bh2, either Bxe5 or Nxe5 wins a clear pawn. Black was very lucky throughout this game. Obviously neither player has any kind of tactical inclination.
Anyone else notice the board is backwards? Black queen was on d1, instead of d8. it doesn't change anything except the color complex can mess with you when it's inverted..
08:13 Rh7 would be a winning move if white continues to push pawns. This would lead to a discovery check after black pushes pawn which turns it into a promotion and checking the white king at the same time. This leads to black gaining a whole rook!
At 4:00 white missed a pretty good move. Knight takes pawn on d4. If the defending pawn takes then white queen takes bishop putting black king in check.
it is, the white pieces should start on the 1 rank, and the black pieces start on the 8 rank, the board is backward because the black pieces are on the 1 rank
That was a helluva game. I thoroughly enjoyed watching every move! I'm actually kinda glad it ended in a draw, being a spectator it almost felt like it should have ended in one. But I'm sure either side may have felt otherwise : )
from 7:35 to the end... there are looooots of better moves for the rocks... he gets the pawn besides cheking the king and getting the bishop... and then white didnt cover the right square... it wasstill a very good game.
I was enthralled watching the game, like I imagine a lot of people were. So I typed up the pgn and analyzed it. No thanks to you two having the board upside down!
Truth is this guy was won but it's all too easy to see it from the calm of our homes so enough of the criticism. With all the adrenalin flowing, He did pretty well to get a winning position.
One of the better vids to see chess from a perspective. All the others are focussing to much on the players and not paying attention to the game itself.
41. Bb4+ Bfe+ would have been better, he could check again Rxge when Black plays Kg6. That also defends the g2 pawn. Ke6 leads to checkmate. 48. Rd6 Blows the game by giving Black a fork winning the bishop. White was aiming for where the black rook currently is, not for where it's going to be. 52. . Kd3 Black gives White a king and rook skewer, Rg3+, which would have won the rook outright. 53. Rxh6 White fails to take the hanging rook with Rg3+. After this point the computer says it's a draw.
Yes, and if someone is confused with the coordinates, it's actually Rb6+ according to the board's coordinates (they're upside down). However, in reality it's Rg3+ just like you said.
At 4:01 after black played c6, white missed a brilliant move, he could have taken pawn on d5 with the Knight and would be attacking the rook on b6 and also a discovered attack on queen from bishop the next move. Black cannot take the knight with the pawn if he does then Queen takes bishop on C1 and check. .
In that case it's a draw: Ra6, Rxd2+ Kxd2, g5 Kf2!, h7 Ra8, then if g6 then Rh8, Kh3 Kf3, Kh4 Kf4, Kh5 Kf5, then if Kh6, then Ra8! (g7 Ra6+, Kh5 Ra1!, Kh4 Kf4= ) or (Kg7 Ra7+) with a draw. Objectively the position should be drawn, but in time trouble I doubt White would find this drawing line
@1x93cm I think he does that as a way to hustle amateurs. White has a slight advantage, so he wants to make the first game look close to convince the mark to play a second time - then he wiped them out with white and collects his 10 bucks.
Here are my thoughts about the specific moves. 36. Kh2 Why? What does this move accomplish besides setting up the disastrous bishop king fork later in the game? 40. Bxe7 Chessmaster says White should have captured with his Rook. That would have been a winning position for White.
At 5:53 white can take the bishop with the rook and after king takes, white take the pawn from c5 with check and after king move he take the rook from a3 and win the game:)
That was great. I watched it twice so I could better understand the game. I didn't realize until recently how many youtubers seem to know each other in real space. It's like watching characters from two different TV shows interact.
I've always loved how you Americans play Chess out in the street like that. I dont think we tend to do that much here in the UK. That was a very awesome game right there and my god it was fast.
@yogiudo In a fast game I chose the less complicated path - by pulling the bishop back to put him in discovered check, it enabled me to pull a rook back to prevent his counter-attack. I more time now I see that after taking his pawn on G7 the rook defends my G2 pawn!
White had a totally won game and then collapsed. We couldn't see the times, so he may have been in time trouble. Good game though. I wish we had a park in my city, I would play everyday. Online chess just isn't the same and the chessclubs have almost all shut down.
Your right its a draw but I think the black moves that maintain a draw are much harder than whites. Whites moves are much simpler than blacks In a blitz game I think black would be the one who most likely messes up by not finding the drawing combination(kf2! ra8! ra1! for example)
at 8:30 he did not declare the promotion of his pawn - that is an illegal move, losing a blitz game! Many chess hustlers will not declare their promotion, then if you move onto the wrong square they will then claim it was a knight promotion!
I played this guy a few weeks ago. He won but then gave me an unwanted chess lesson. I was too polite to tell him to shut up and at the end he wanted $60. Yeah right.
You are right. I was mistaken for the pawn to be on g3 rather than on g4. However, the position after h6 at 8:20, black can try for ...Ra6!, and then, any rook move off the 6th rank will lose the h pawn, if he plays Rxa6, then d1Q with a win (or perpetual at least). If Rxd2+, then Kxd2 followed by Rh6+. Let me know if I'm mistaken.
Particularly elegant finish at 7:18 would have been the simple h4+ Kh5 followed by Kh3! This seals the advantage. Black has to play particularly accurately, and still will be down significant advantage. He would have to respond with f5.
I'm guessing black is about a 1600 and white about a 1525. White played the Rossolimo against the Sicilian defense played by black. They should have played one more, but was fun to watch.
white had a good chance of winning... anyways, at the end was pretty good for him to look for the draw, because his king was in a bad position, when the black king was in the middle of the board.
He looked tough. Glad you were along to protect silverfuturist in case the guy got physical! You guys and your huge pipes? He would have been so outgunned. ;) . Fun game to watch! Too bad about the guy being a bit sneaky there at the end. And really nice to see you putting out a video again!
