After Simon recorded this video, Hikaru played another great queen sac in Titled Tuesday! Here's NM James Canty analyzing the game: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7sQWRODYYbs.html
@@dickurkel6910 Only move for the King after that Be7+ is Ke8 which leads to Nf6+ forking the king and the Queen. The trade of 1 queen for 2 juicers was going to happen either way, Hikaru just sped up the process.
@@armaan4138 no i completely understand, i am just not smart enough to know what the winning moves would be for that player and I would like to see it be played out
@@theguidedclutch1345 your phrasing is a bit wrong. you don't hate that they "resign" you hate it when you don't get any explanations over the endings.
@ALBxRindi Twice in the same tournament, not in a row. He lost to Duda, then defeated Duda in the next round - and then lost to Aronian in the last round after he'd already won the tournament.
Well he already got his top five moves video. I don’t think it’d be fair for him to get 2 videos when other people haven’t even gotten their first. I want to see Botvinnik and Chigorin, for example. 😐
It’s definitely more difficult to put your opponent in checkmate without your Queen, but in these situations it seems he had great positioning and the Queen sacrifice worked in his favor to make other pieces have a better opening and protection with each piece. Very nice! 👏🏻 Actually almost fooling the opponents, because everyone is always so eager to take the Queen when exposed and lose sight of how it might weaken their structure.
The first example is so famous against Krasenkow. A very long sequence, and then a brilliant backward move, with Bc8!! However, the new one for me, was against Germanovich. Qxa3+!! for black is the same pattern as in Qh6+ by Carlsen versus Karjakin in their last game of the world championship match!
Thank you for being the guy who skips to the juicy parts on why people tapped on the vid, instead of going through the entire game while speaking “chess language”
7:02 Couldnt white have replied to hikaru's Qd3 move by putting his Queen on f2, which would allow him to protect the f3 pawn from being taken, preventing mate?
@@tyrone1113 If he doesn't play qxe7, only move he can play is ke8, and than nf6 is a fork which black can win the queen anyway, so that was about the only move Hikaru could have played
Is the second position really a "sacrifice" tho? I mean it looks like black was going to lose queen anyway, as the only move besides taking Knight with the queen is King E8 and then white has Knight F6 forking king and queen.
It's pretty easy when you know there is a solution ;-) way harder to spot it in your game. Can you tell me what happens 6:55 when white plays Qf2..? how black should continue?
I love these miniatures and the vibrant style you present them..can you make such videos on great Alekhine,Alexei Shirov,Adolf Andersson,Siegbert Tarrash,Henry Blackburne,.Hope to see these videos in the days to come.
I've played chess for few years and have an FIDE rating of 1164 and for the first time I'm looking how counter attacks are amazingly dangerous. Risk is the way
