When I sack queen is blunder. When gm blunders queen is sacrifice.

[@jrd33]

If you lose, it was a blunder. If you win, it was a sacrifice :-)

[@maxkho00]

@@jrd33 There was this one time when I played an NM (I am currently rated 1400) and he, like NMs do, trapped my queen. Of course, I completely overlooked the threat of my queen getting trapped, but I did manage to squeeze two knights out of the position and, additionally, get a monster outpost for a knight of my own. Funnily enough, since the position was so closed, the loss of my queen didn't affect the gameplay at all (the queen was trapped on the queenside, while my upcoming attack was on the kingside), but it was eventually my knight that played a crucial role in my eventual checkmate of the NM. At the time, I thought that I had blundered my queen, but it eventually "turned" into a sacrifice. Moral of the story: if you blunder a piece, just play on, because if you go on to win you can claim that this was the plan all along :p

[@arandombard1197]

@@maxkho00 Well it makes sense. 9/10 we don't want to lose our queen. But if we're going to lose our queen, we gain the privilege of doing a huge amount of damage with it before it dies. So normally you're trading the piece for tempo or a good position. Not only do you get to attack whereever you want now but your opponent is forced to take the Queen afterwards, giving you the follow-up attack.

[@Pinchfire]

Carlsen is Carlsen. Seen him win games with 1 pawn so many times, it's almost a standard for him. Beautiful really. Winning the game with the weakest piece in it. Shows that in the hands of a master a stick can be deadlier than a sword.

on the one hand magnus did squeeze water out of stone but on the other hand his opponent blundered the draw into a defeat

[@QBziZ]

That is the essence of the game. You do not play theoretical chess that can withstand the most thourough analysis, you are playing an opponent. You only have to play better than him, nothing more.

[@Alegost1]

yeah i just find it funny when agadmator says that about magnus, it sounds like magnus performed a miracle

i definately do not want to diminish his performance, you simply have to play great to turn a draw into a win, but i can´t shake the feeling that his oponent was just stupid... if you know your position is a draw, why play somethign where you are not sure it is still a draw or a loss. why risk it, take the draw against someone like carlsen. at least that´s what i think

Why not check the king with Queen A4 picking up the bishop at 1:43? I’m somewhat new to chess so I’m assuming theirs a deeper reason Great video agadmator!

[@OK-ei7io]

Craig Stout I was thinking that as well! I’m also kind of new to chess but I’m thinking it could be because of pawn captures on g5, and after knight captures black might have a better position? Not sure, great question though!

[@abhilashchatterjee7817]

I think he didn't play that move as if the black Knight is placed on c6...the check is blocked and the bishop is defended...so that wouldn't be much advantageous...this might be one f the reason

#Suggestion there are many interesting stories about Bobby Fischer in these tournaments. Likewise in '67 tournament he quarrelled with organisers nd got banned from the tournament; and many more awkward stories about him. He had spoken many ambitious quotes after games or at different times. I would #request you to tell few short stories of him or some of his ambitious quotes related to these tournaments. U may add these stories in Ur videos. Or if the story is big enough then u can make a #separate_video of his stories. We don't care about the length of those vdos, as they are interesting. Many people reported about the big intro in ur first vdo. But I enjoyed, it increased my vast knowledge. So if there are more stories, plz include them. ♥️ Ur channel

Shouldn't speak ill of the dead, especially if it's just to entertain you. Stories, exaggerations, recollections, half-truths, myths, legends. Many of which can't be verified or defended by Bobby Fischer. Seems you would just like to "dig up the dirt" on Bobby Fischer just for your entertainment.

11:32 Qxf5 Rxf5 , Kxf5, Kg2 Kxe6? Can Black get back to a8 in time (after trading the last kingside pawn for one of White's last two)? It's essentially the same thing that happened except White's K is on h2 instead of g1...not sure if it will matter, but it does seem to complicate the f4 push.

[@leonardobaracchi7040]

Well.. You say that it was super duper draw.. But I actually preferred white, I mean, white was much easier to play than black.. And Carlsen played probably as perfectly as an engine would have played. But those two pawns more, soon becoming three, were a big thing to me. Probably Navarra went wrong or not perfect here and there, but I'm sure he had a much more difficult task than white
