Yes ...firouza is a very promising player but check out Gm Igor rausis ...he ' ve just entered in world top 100 and he is only 58...

[@mwangikimani3970]

I remember Naka (livid after losing to the kid on a live stream blitz session) castigating Alireza for playing too much blitz... "he will never be 2700 he plays too much online blitz"... Looks like he listened to Naka, Alireza is now playing much more internationally!

[@JJ-kl7eq]

My friends and I tried to predict if he would become world champion by using our Firouija board.

[@samwamper9393]

Maestro King, your videos never cease to amaze me. Wonderful analysis as usual, Sir. Thanks for a lovely lunch break! ;-)

[@peterhardie4151]

Daniel "the rooks are now split" King

[@orilevi1123]

Goes as long as to create a fantasy scenario where they are such :D

[@johnkom2339]

There are examples of strong players winning games with 'split' rooks, the most famous I can think of is Tal-Botvinnik World Championship Game 1.

[@RBG9000]

I wouldnt even consider Qxd4 as a move, nevermind calculate it. A wonderful game!

[@tibimose823]

Amazing game and also I found my new opening as white against the french. This positional approach gives such a clear cut advantage of knight against bishop that I'm surprised I haven't seen this more often. Thank you for sharing the game.

[@n20games52]

I've been going through your catalog of videos for a couple of weeks and have really been enjoying them. Very entertaining, enlightening and educational. I'm really looking forward to more of your coverage of Grenke.Chess Classic. You did a wonderful job with Carlsen's opening match. Wow, that was a real battle. Cheers!

[@archaeopteryx7405]

Yes, Firouja has great talent. Excellent game.

[@johnkom2339]

Forget about Pragg, this guy is the real deal!

[@NaderTaghinia]

Beautiful game and a very nice analysis ...thanks a lot 😊🌹

[@atrichatterjee2299]

I liked the condensed version of yesterday's show

[@danno1800]

Thanks for the excellent analysis

[@CraigPendlebury]

I hope you do more just like this, up and coming young stars.

[@johnkom2339]

And there are a lot of them!

[@sandam390]

Brilliant game !!

[@farjadbabaee547]

Great performance by the Iranian talent. Great video!

[@oaitsewally2926]

Great Demonstration of the young lad's tactical abilities

[@chessbrilliance8783]

Waw! Who would have thought that this game will be a massacre especially when seeing all those trade in the opening. Black certainly regrets to not have exchange the queen there. Amazing game.

[@arnieus866]

Beautiful game and analysis. At age 15 I guess Firouzja has not learned it is a waste time calculating obviously suspect moves like Qxd4. Some got it some don't.

[@stefanholbek2449]

Split Rooks ... Now, where did I hear about that before ... ;O) Thanx, Mr. King! Always a pleasure. We will se about a new WC. Carlsen has been showing some scary strength for a long time now, and he may stay on top for a while, but yes: One fine day ...

[@Alireza3071]

We have so much to look forward to in chess !!! Thank you so much for covering Daniel..

[@nofanfelani6924]

I see, so this is the Alireza guy who's playing so well on lichess lately, i never expected that he's still 15 years old.

[@mojtabakhazaei5170]

Thank you very much Mr King I really enjoyed your analysis, Thanks alot

[@Narrowcros]

He isnt as good at endgames as Parham is, but as an attacker he is amazing and perhaps a future world champion.

[@chessguru900]

11:22 You are not explaning what happens here if RxN pawn can't take N R on e2 is hanging I guess pawn is pushed up the board etc.

[@adammasek772]

I wondered this for a minute until I saw that White can allow his Re2 to drop because then he can play Qxd5! (threatens Mate on a8, defends g2, supports the powerful d6 pawn, etc.)

[@mikecantreed]

Qxd4 what a move

[@PaulMorphy-n1f]

Future

[@CoeyinJapan]

sorry but if Nd6 what's wrong with ...Rxd6?

[@AnandSivaram22]

9:50 Uh, there goes gravity

[@456death654]

Daniel, why can't black play Rxd6? Pawns pinned and white can't capture the bishop as now the rook is protecting the bishop lol

[@AartSnikkelbaard03]

Qxd5 after taking the rook seems fine as the queen is protecting against the mate and that pawn is a runner

[@antoniov64]

at 11:07....Nd6 why not RxN? exN RxR QxB is this winning?

[@adammasek772]

Yes

[@DimitrisAndreou]

At 11:20, I was wondering about 24. ...Rxd6

[@minkle143]

If 1...Rxd6 2.exd6 Rxe2 3.Qxd5 and white is clearly better or winning because of the d6 pawn and also note that the queen is protecting the g2 pawn from any mating threats.

[@janm6647]

24 .... Rxd6 25 xd6 Rxe2 26 Qxd5 g2 is defended , material is even, and u have a ridiculous pawn on d6 supported by queen, ready to land on the naked 8th rank

[@abj136]

11:19 surely Nd6 is a mistake due to Rxd6 exd6 Rxe2

[@Boeijk1]

abj after Rxe2 Qxd5 protecting g2 and threatening Qa8 mate but also pawn on d6 is unstoppable. So Nd6 is correct

[@markrlondon]

...fd6 is of course a blunder, and as you say, opens up the position. What was he thinking?

[@arianwick556]

I have an autograph of him

[@bobdole7292]

is 2657 at 15 the highest ever?

[@leonvoulgaris322]

Why can't black play Rxd6 on 11:20?

[@minkle143]

If 1...Rxd6 2.exd6 Rxe2 3.Qxd5 and white is clearly better or winning because of the d6 pawn and also note that the queen is protecting the g2 pawn from any mating threats.

[@brbcrew9957]

Very beautiful really

[@rafaelhernandez4044]

11:24 what is wrong with rook takes d6?

[@wstfrogger1973]

I think, after Rxd6 2. exd6 Rxe2 3. Qxd5 the pawn d6 simply wins for white

[@Badbentham]

@@wstfrogger1973 The important part is that the Q from d5 protects against black`s only threat, - mate on g2.

[@davincerica7232]

Knife f5. GM Ben Finegold 😁

[@midichlorian666]

24.knight d6 then queen takes d6

[@boromir674]

I am a big fan and have a lot of respect for for Daniel's videos and analysis. I believe asking to subscribe in every video is simply not needed.

[@peterhardie4151]

Fast forward 10 seconds with the j/k buttons on your keyboard and stop complaining.

[@boromir674]

Peter Hardie I don't complain. I just wouldn't expect that Daniel is so desperate about getting subscribers.

[@samwamper9393]

Out of a free 15-minute video I am very happy to listen to GM King trying to obtain a larger audience for 10 seconds. Aren't all youtubers doing this in their videos nowadays?

[@mikecantreed]

GM puts out a free video with expert analysis and he can't ask for subscribers? The level of entitlement on the internet is unbelievable.

[@chrisiver8506]

u just got shut down lol

[@yonatanshenhav1208]

Daniel, I like your videos, but one of the things I think they're missing is you pointing out the mistakes of the players. In other words, after 25 moves one side is much better than the other, but u haven't told us at any given moment what move(s) was bad, according to the computer

[@BeatPoet67]

Telling us what the computer thinks is pointless. We don't play with computers at our side. You need to see chess with human eyes. If you couldn't see why one side is better without a computer then what difference does that fact make?

[@1blueeye]

Put the game in an engine yourself. You'll see exactly what you're interested in. He does point out blunders, but when he says this is a critical point in the game, if you pay attention the losing side generally plays an inaccurate move which becomes more apparent as the game progresses.

[@hady8413]

That is also an amazing blitz game from Ali Reza against Nakaumora: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOXiJV_gtVsgpo

[@jprw]

is ... Rd6!? worth a try at kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXbLhYqearOHga8m9s

[@1sweettime207]

A wonderful game!
