Yup. Exactly.

He actually continues saying "we are going to discuss this, no worries" but actually never goes back to that position!

[@chessycontent]

If queen captures pawn then Queen captures bishop and after queen takes queen king takes rook and then black has a rook and two pieces for the queen. The dark squares are not that weak as we don't have the dark square bishop and black still has the bishop pair

[@drunkbobo]

I think after that black would lose the dark square bishop with rook to f1 check followed by queen takes g7. Pretty sure that rook on h8 would be trapped as well.

[@chessycontent]

FYKI she asked netflix to either remove her name or remove insulting statements about her from the show, but was ignored to which she filed a lawsuit to draw their attention(as well as the chess community's and others' too). Do you think this lawsuit would have gotten attention if she had filed for say some 10k$ or something?

[@shoaibaalam8978]

I remember one of your very earliest video. You told a story that some one asked Bobby Fischer about nona grapindashvilli... And Fischer replied that he can play against her while giving her knights odds. And then someone asked from Mikhail Tal about Fischer's comments. Tal said that "Fischer is Fischer but a knight is a knight". Which mean even Tal knew that one cannot defeat nona grapindashvilli by giving her a piece odd.

[@edoardopetrovic5150]

Tal's reply is as savage as his playing style lol

[@mayankbhaisora2699]

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

Fischer was probably right. He's the most dangerous player of all time. Kasparov with his all by memory Russia kind of play would hate to meet Fischer. Magnus would have met his intuition equal if they played.

[@aaronsung6208]

I know ppl love inspiring feminist story. But to be fair, Nona was 2400s rating, common GM lv. No dice against any super GM in her era.

[@Brandon-a-writer]

@@aaronsung6208 I don’t know why it can’t be inspiring to see more people join and be a part of this amazing game. I also do not see how showing the games of Nona has anything to do with feminism … this is an excellent example, I think, of why there aren’t as many women in chess. If people are willing to say such stupid shit as this in the open, imagine what people think of young girls who are trying to earn their first norms? Who are in their first tournaments? You’re no better than anyone because you have a dick, nor does your birth dictate your destiny. But being prideful is the mark of a talentless, bitter and ultimately pointless, little person. People look at a neutral world that is neither one thing or another and then project their own biases and insecurities onto the world. This 2400 fembot GM would destroy 99% of the chess players in the history of the world, and yet, not good enough for mega brain here? She did beat GMs in her era. She is a fucking GM and had to beat high level GMs … she beat Judit Polgar in 1990 with the black pieces, towards the end of her prime and at the beginning of Judit’s rise. She beat GMs from the 60s well into 2016, a career spanning half a century. So, you should probably put some fucking respect on her name. That this fine chess player is a “she” only matters to incel douchebags and people with Nazi insignia claiming the “left has gone too far” while they tear down a synagogue. Grow up man. The world is big enough for you to understand women someday. They’re not foreign creatures, but human beings. Not so different than men, in fact. I pray that you get over your pussyphobia someday and embrace difference, rather than withdraw into your nazi hole and echo chamber where everyone agrees with you and thinks like you and you never have to be challenged on a single subject. -A 2100 rated player with NM, CM, FM, and IM scalps on the fuckin’ belt in case you wanna dance.
