Problem is if you were playing Alireza, he would not resign and win the resulting Endgame. Unless you are a titled player, then i am sorry for the comment
And he took 2 min to capture the rook and blunder… the commentators were jokingly saying while he was thinking « imagine if he takes the rook, no impossible haha » (heard this on another channel)
3:13 -- in case anyone's wondering, the *CORRECT move for Black* in this position was... *Nxc6* . Had Firouzja played that, game would have been almost equal. Instead, he blunders HORRIBLY with the taking of the corner Rook... .
Very cool game. You have to wonder if this was previously thought through, or if it was simply opportunistic. Both are possible, as it was a GM game. I had a similar situation yesterday (im my lowly 1149 elo). Got my KN is a good position, threatening a King/Rook fork. His Q was guarding the pawn at point of fork. Not only did he not see it, he moved the queen to a square where i could now fork the king and Queen! Bet he'll pay more attention next time
That's why this game looks wrong. Nelson spent one minute explaining to us what the move was, and grandmasters can think faster than Nelson can talk! It has the look of an agreed-upon game.
When Black does take the pawn on c6 with his Knight two of White‘s pieces are hanging. Rook on h1 and Knight on e5. The game goes on but White can only save one of his pieces. Black doesn’t loose but gains an advantage.
@@milappatel1736After loosing the pawn on c6, White can block the attack on h1 with pawn to f3. However, then Black is down a pawn and Stockfish‘s analysis is very much in favor of White. From a human perspective it isn’t that obvious to me.
But then if blacks pawn takes c6 pawn white takes blacks rook and that disables the blacks horsey form moving bcz it will be check then whit can take the black pawn on c6 and even if the pawn moves he will be in a position where he checks the king and they lose
Nelson: If you were a super grandmaster and one of the very best players in the entire world, what would you play here? Me: "Ah yes. Quite. How obvious!" Nelson: Well if you had a chance to look that....
The chess videos you make are truly amazing. I’m also learning to create some chess videos myself. I think this helps me practice my English and review the chess knowledge I’ve learned. I often watch Hikaru Nakamura play bullet chess on Chesscom, and I play bullet chess too, with a rating of over 2400. From a 12-year-old chess girl in China.❤
how am i stuck at 800, again and again losing to my own blunders, just giving my queen away... but i found that line instantly. i am playing the wrong guys 😂
To have this game follow you as a super GM for the rest of your life, it's both embarrassing and inspiring at the same time. I sure as hell wouldn't like it! 😅
I’m not sure if anyone’s noticed this but promoting to a queen isn’t correct, you have to capture the knight first with promotion and only then capture the rook on a7 on the following move.
Hey Nelson, I’m not sure if you have an email for a question like this as far as pricing or if you even do hour lessons or whatever but I’d be interested in becoming a student of yours if possible.
hey Mr.Vibes is there any reason u stopped uploading those "how a 2200 thinks vs 1500" videos, they were so good! not that these videos aren't good. They all are. Those ones were just especially good
why didn't he take with pawn? I mean in any case a pawn on 6th rank is a bad news unless I'm losing my queen or getting checkmate next move there is no reason you shouldn't take it
Fabi got a nice win but reza came back and destroyed him and got to the finals. Think he lost to MVL in the end who was playing out of this world. Mvl ended up beating reza sending him to losers bracket and reza came all the way back but just a bit short.
I can't believe a super gm fell for that. Obviously if he left the rook there that means theres some trap. I guess blunders really do happen to the best of us
@@AaronJames53 you are also sourt of wrong. First, it wasn't a super GM who fell for it, it was a 2024-candidate Abasov as the white pieces versus an Italian GM (forgot the name) with the black pieces. The Italian GM "almost fell of the trap", but he noticed it after 20 minutes in a classical game, so he had to accept being down a pawn and eventually lost the game. The trap didn't necessarily work because that GM had 90 minutes to think, but they fell for the beginning of the trap after black played Be4. I was actually so shocked because I would have thought Alireza had analyzed Abasov's games for the candidates, or it turns out he just forgot about this one line.
@@lukeskywalker6785 no, it is completely random. There are 960 positions possible, so memorizing cannot get you far. Hikaru is the world champion, so no, gm's are not noobies in other openings.
@@lukeskywalker6785 well in this case it was just a blunder, even super gm's blunder sometimes, but not very often. In this case it was also not obvious at all that taking the rook would lose the game, ofcourse he should have seen it, but gm's can be humans too. It would also have taken the rook in a 10 minute game
I saw it... Black has to resign 😮because either is check mated through Queen transformation or he losses pieces. And I've seen it actually one move before you said "pause and look" 😊
