Impresionante. Es la primera partida de este aclibre de ajedrez que he visto, y me he quedado con la boca abierta… Son como dos titanes en una lucha rápida y letal, al menor error, la partida cambia.
for anyone who has yet to experience a blitz game, do it now, the amount of excitement and adrenaline it creates is amazing, can't believe chess can be this energizing!
10 steps ahead on every piece, anticipating each potential move, literally millions of possibilities every few seconds. An expert chess players intuition is truly insane.
ajneufeld762 that’s not true. Chess players only look at a few moves each time lmao. What they are good at though is calculating expected moves and good moves though
Magnus played that game so smoothly! He even situated naka's pieces correctly in the squares because he's so confident of the win. b5 had to be bad, those c5 knights were powerful!
At 10:38 Nakamura took the pawn on a5 with the knight because the pawn on b6 which was protecting it was pinned - taking the knight would alow for Nakamura's rook to take Carlsen's rook. But then Carlsen replied with a knight move which both protects his own rook and attacks Nakmura's rook, while Nakamura's knight was still threatned by the b6 pawn. So if Nakamura tried to save his knight, he would have lost the rook and if he tried to save the rook he would have lost the knight.
@ 4:22 - Watch the two guys standing in between, the camera man and the person watching. Watch the camera man tries to move the older guy out of the way, and watch the old guy almost slap his arm away from him.. LOL. It got me. You can see the older guy thinking "Get your damn arm off of me you fool!"... xD
From 2:37 to 3:05, Nakamura cannot find anything to do. So he tries a little counterplay on the Queenside with a4, followed by b4 at 3:23. But that weakened the c4 square and Carlsen threatened to jump all over it with his Knight, use it as an outpost, and entry into the White side, a thorn in White's side. Nakamura's only response is to protect the square with his Queen. And from then on, Nakamura is on the defensive. After a6, did Carlsen anticipate b4? Is that why he made the waiting move of Qf7 at 3:17? After b4, Carlsen exchanges Bishops and then, without any hesitation, plays Nd6 threatening Nc4. Attack the weak squares unprotected by pawns!
KyotoIsaki Because of the spirit of fighting to death. Even if it is imagined, or represented by a game (here it's chess), it is still fighting to death.
There's a ton of stuff going on besides the chess game. The point where they mirror each other's scratching, the digging for gold by the cameraman, the old man fighting back....
+hmrhuang they do it in gentlemen way almost all the time, but here you will not see it because this is the Tom&Gerry of chess, Naka always this nerv against Magnus.
hahahahahahahahaha love Naka ;) There's a video of him on youtube playing someone and when they get their queen ready to promote a pawn, Naka says 'you're kidding'... hahahahahahahahahahahaha ;)
9:35 Nakamura, frantically trying to land those last few stalling checks, totally misplaces his rook. Carlsen, being the classy guy he is, fixes the Rook's placement on his time, and then calmly moves his King to safety, and then takes out the A pawn. like a boss
kasparov could dissect chess like you wouldn't believe all these players that beat nakamura today got there ass handed to them by kasparov back then that should be a testament towards something
