you? buddy, this entire game was staged, me and marshall prepared beforehand and i told him about this move in advance. i felt such betrayal when he didn't give me any credit at all, we even stopped talking because of all the undeserved fame he got which should've been mine.
Nonsense! Marshall told me he'd be thinking out loud, and to cough from the crowd if I thought a move made sense. So I coughed all the way to the endgame! Wait, I'm thinking of Who Wants to be a Millionaire 😅
Thanks my friend! Yes, I´m a bit sad too about the lack of Supremacy material. Sadly, the interest is just not big enough to justify me posting these videos on a regular basis. Also, with the recent update Bytro labs did in supremacy turning all the rules around with their stupid payable bonus card system it just made many of my videos useless. After that I lost most of my motivation in shooting videos or even playing the game anymore.
Maybe these are too obvious to mention for someone better at chess than I am, but I found two other possibilities after Qg3 where Qxh7 is not an immediate checkmate: 1) White tries to create luft by moving the f pawn. Then ... Ne2+ and Kh1 Qxh2#. 2) White creates an escape square by moving the rook, say Rd1 to create another double threat. Then ... Qxh2+ anyway, and Kf1 Qh1# is mate because the knight covers e2.
By what definition is this sacrificing a queen? They traded queens, and no other material was lost. Black was up a knight before the sequence, and was up a knight after the sequence.
@@FiftyFiverr its not a queen sac, but it wasnt a glorified queen trade either. Blacks queen and rook were both hanging at the start of the position and there was no way to save both.....except this brilliant series of moves. Not only will black be down material anymore, he gets to keep his extra knight advantage for free
I don't think the move deserves the title "most beautiful." Black is so overwhelmingly winning that all he has to do is get his queen out of danger. If white moves to avoid the fork on the next move, then black moves the rook at h6 to safety, and the game is in the bag. Engine analysis shows this to be true. ...Qg3 is -3.65, ...Qb4 is -3.39, ...Qa3 is -3.33, ...Qb2 is -2.89, ...Qe3 is -2.87 White is crushed already, and ...Qg3 is only one of many moves that wins the game. A dozen moves after ...Qg3, black's position is still only -3.80 or so. ...Qg3 doesn't particularly raise black's advantage that already exists. So not all that "beautiful."
"All black has to do is get his queen out of danger." The correct move in this place places his queen directly IN danger, and instead of getting a long-term advantage where you have to use technique, it wins immediately.
@@EGarrett01 ...Qg3 doesn't win immediately and would still take "technique." White resigned because he would end up a piece down in that line, but that is also true of ...Qb4, ...Qa3, ...Qb2, and ...Qe3, and those moves win just as quickly as ...Qg3. Check it with an engine if you don't believe it.
@@garys5175 That is true, but saying a line can be drawn out or the win can be matched with an engine isn't a valid criticism of a move played over 100 years ago.
@@EGarrett01 In the original position, Black is already a piece up with multiple ways to maintain the overwhelming advantage and the game is essentially over. These facts negate the possibility of "the most beautiful move in chess history" being played in the position. It doesn't even take much calculation to see that black can maintain his advantage with a number of equally good moves.
@@garys5175 Your own original comment was that you need to move the queen out of the way. What makes this beautiful is that you do the exact opposite. If engine lines invalidated brilliant moves, then once chess is solved, the whole of human chess then becomes worthless and not brilliant. Which is ridiculous. Humans don't have engines to check, let alone 100 years of theory as well, a beautiful move is a human achievement given the limitations in which we function.
I don't know much about chess or why this video was recommended to me, but ... I quite like Knight to e2 (check), then same Knight to g3 to cause some havoc and also guarantee victory in a few more moves!
Spectacular! It might be the most beautiful move in chess history indeed. As for the best move ever, I'm not so sure. Of course, all of this is a matter of taste, but I would call "the best move" a move in a middle-game position that requires immense calculation, and not only tactical finesse but also a deep strategic understanding of the position. Or you can extend the scope even further: Fisher made some psychologically stunning opening moves, most notably his 1. b3 against Filip, or his Queen's gambit against Spassky in the famous game 6 of the 1972 WCC match.
Here is the solution for a quick checkmate : Knight d4 > e2 check Knight e2 > g3 check Queen c3 x g3 1)white g5 x g3 Then black queen g3 > h2 checkmate 2)white f2 x g3 Then Black tower x f1 checkmate
QF6 was my first instinct move after 5 seconds. However, I did studied this position as a child and it must have engrained in my memory many many years ago.
Nah. Fischer's move when he sacrificed his queen but over the next series of moves just kept getting better and better position despite a massive piece shortage and eventually checkmate/resignation for his opponent. Accounts say that when he lost his queen all the masters in the room got up and started to leave believing the game was over for Fischer
I tried to calculate other moves that could avoid defeat and I’m astounded. I’m not very good at chess, but every move I see leads to checkmate. Eating queen with a queen is the only way for survival
at 1:36, if queen capture c5 and queen capture queen c5, then black horse to e2 then to g3 after king to h1. king moves back and you snapp the rook on f1 and you are up with two rooks against a queen after king capture the horse on f1.
Good morrow to you, fine sir. I am the medieval knight through whom this ancestral move kept living. I checkmated Henry VIII at his royal court in 1546 to earn pardon from a death sentence. History has not done me justice.
It appears it might also work by first moving the black knight from D5 to E7 and checking the white king, which then must move to H8. Then move the black queen from C6 to G6. Anyway, that's what I saw as the solution and it only differs from the solution shown here by the black knight moving prior to the black queen. Seems to me it works, but I could be wrong. Please explain why if that is the case.
I won a routine chess game with exactly that move. No clue it was something special. I win only half my games so just chance I wandered into immortality.
Beginners constantly blunder their queen. Intermediate players learn how to make safe moves to not blunder their pieces. But the most advanced players? They are constantly looking for crazy moves that seem like they blunder their queen, but actually win. So just skip the middle part and look for some crazy apparent sacrifice that wins the game, every move. Easy!
I haven't had a chance to check out this channel's resources yet-- but there are lots of excellent RU-vid videos. I can recommend Irina Krush, Anna Cramling and Chess Vibes. The formula is CCA for Checks, Captures and Attacks. First look for the opponent's checks on your king and captures on your pieces. Only then should you look for your own Checks and Captures, and work out an Attack plan to get into a position to make checks and captures.
You mean Qe5 I guess? (The board is shown from blacks perspective). After Qe5 black plays Ne2+. White can´t take with his queen because of Qxh2 checkmate. Only other move for white is Kh1 but then Rxh2 comes and it´s checkmate also.
