It's also a reminder of how pliable a human brain is in the late teenage years -> early 20s on cognitive skill acquisition. Pragg of course adds a whole other dimension of genius atop this natural advantage.

[@pradeepspecful]

This is some phenomenal analysis! I always would like to come here for the analysis even after watching the game live. And, at this point I am not even surprised by Pragg as he could simply rely on his intuition to take decisions sometimes rather than calculating all the way.

[@simonjohnwright5129]

The popularity of your channel is mind-boggling. Like deployed!

[@randynrx]

I felt that the queen move was natural. I did find it. It accomplishes a couple of things quickly. The black queen is somewhat locked into whites side of the board while the white queen becomes very active on the black side. The tactical moves by the knight are secondarily pretty natural to find IMHO.

[@tangohotellima1895]

Awesome!

[@ianbergerurra8021]

That exchange sacrifice led to the crucial pawn at f6... It really paid off.

[@raphaellu3085]

[@tomazs8380]

i think he probably roughly calculated it 12 plies ahead but relied on intuiton more than calculation to play queen e6 cause thats a move that instantly popped into my mind, is not one hard to consider.

[@prajwalbharambe343]

Yep

[@NWRIBronco6]

A little bold to assume that, based on you seeing Qe6 as an obviously intuitive move. Lots of moves make sense in a position, and strong players know how to play on that intuition to force good-looking bad moves. Stronger players know how to find the one line that makes a good-looking bad move actually good, or to avoid them if no such line exists...

[@user-cx4gc5lh4b]

Qd6 is one of only two moves that turn down the queen trade while protecting the knight, and it's clearly better than the other option, qe3, which would let Vincent pin the knight with his rook, forcing Prag to defend it with his other knight. That position would leave three of his four pieces stuck in place. I'd say Qd6 is the obvious move. The real issue is if Prag knew about this escape before Vincent offered the queen trade. And whether he knew it would be as strong as it turned out to be. With Prag, I'd lean to "yes". But the real bold move was when he allowed the rook for knight exchange just to keep the attack going.

[@ravivaradhan4956]

It is easy to say that you should trust your intuition as long as it has worked for you. But when you lose an important game because you were lazy to calculate concretely and just went with your intuition, that's when you start doubting your intuition and start relying more on concrete calculations to the extent possible.

[@StarPlanet56789]

Tamil's have the most intuitive mind in the world cause the Tamil's ancestors were astrologers

I think this could potentially be an Immortal by Praggu!

[@tarunrathitra1158]

Not really. His R2 game in the World Cup deserves that spot

[@bharsmugu2244]

Strangely I found the move Qd6 like Pragg but later realized I was only able to find it for the lack of better squares for the queen . Btw are all of those moved forced after Qd6 till Na7. Could u explore the line Rxc8 instead of Kxe6? Is it any better for black coz I see the only move left for the knight on e6 is c5 .
