Alireza Firouzja vs Arjun Erigaisi | World Blitz 2021

[@jayeshyadav8891]

I love Arjun's personality. Always humble and eager to learn

[@rafael6693]

he is exactly a copy of Vishy Anand in terms of humbleness and respect for others

[@edwardolvera5280]

eager to learn?? dont be a such wanker. you learn some psychology ... its a classic reaction to a loss : SAYING SOMETHING

[@nodikotha7313]

both are gentle and polite. Ali is more intellegent.

[@alaouilias]

Firouzja is a monster on finding way outs of lose 🤝

[@anthonydantestewart9243]

Can we take a second and appreciate how this man played a hyper dragon and didn’t get kingside rolled

[@my_name_is_giovanni_giorgio]

it’s a very legit opening if you know a little bit about the theory, it’s deff not that easy to win with white against a well prepared dragon player.

[@jules1997du92]

Alireza changing his long time plan every two moves. Very nice massage

[@Av-uv6xu]

No, he was just manouvering hoping for opponnet to blunder xD

[@anon_for_gossip2613]

Arjun went on a three-loss streak against Nepo, Alireza and Kravtsiv towards the end of the event. Otherwise, his overall play was exceptional.

Nice win for Alireza, and considering he won against India no.1 it was certainly meaningful. Very excited to see his performance in the Candidates.

Comparing blitz to Candidates is too silly. What Ali Reza did in his last classical tournament is much more meaningful

@@abhishekab1 I never did that. You need to learn how to read properly. I simply made a statement regarding the fact that everyone's eyes will be on him in the Candidates.

I agree, both of their careers in chess should prove exciting to watch.

[@Saabshir]

8:51 is so trippy. Arjun picked up the new rook, then pawn, then the white rook, then dropped his rook, pressed the clock then only put down the white rook. Where did the pawn go?

[@meirgriniasty7139]

grand master Erigaisi played beautifully. He did not "get a lesson" from Firouzia as some claim. I think he was winning in 8:40 but should have played Kh8 instead of a5

[@noxianor]

And that's the lesson.

[@vinayaktrivedi9375]

That is exactly the lesson. One mistake and you loose the game against top players.

[@mahirdaiyan5926]

hahahhahaha

[@eisejshet]

his biggest mistake was f2 🤦

[@mayanm7105]

Perfect Meir.. erigassi has nothing to learn from his opponent. He knows whats happened but discussed something out of his usual talks. The way he took time and promoted hisQ , all the back biters here has to stop and listen, admist time struggle. Erigassi is the winner here, the Indian personality of chess, on the footsteps of Anand

[@qbetech4764]

Getting paired with Alireza is perhaps the worst after losing a game and knowing that you have to win the next game 😑

[@relax_sounds523]

As always, great coverage of the match by your channel...well done🙏🙏

[@DuaneLuy]

It's a good time to be alive seeing the best of their generations clash. I hope magnus can retain his prime a little longer his been in bad form several times I believe since November of 2020 when Wesley won that online rapid tournament don't remember the name of the tournament, but when he is in form there is no doubt he is the best at the moment. Wesley said so after winning the tournament that, it's depends on magnus form. But firouzja is definitely getting a foot hold of that level and soon enough would climb and stand at the top.. hope both are in th best form when they clash in wcc in the future

[@brianel-khoury885]

Is c4 a thing at 3:32? Or black is happy giving the exchange?

[@edwardolvera5280]

Firouzjas Knight SAVED and WON the game 😛

[@SaeedAcronia]

Don't be misled. Arjun is a beast and he finds moves that even all-time greats like Anand couldn't. I consider him just as strong as Firouzja himself in blitz. I wish he could have white against Firouzja to see how he does.

[@ianchua3605]

Arjun was in theory until Bc4 and pretty much after that he had a much clearer idea on what he was doing, and had a better position. Alireza is just better in blitz

[@segercliffhanger]

Great chess players in a battle against their deodorizer. One of the most inaccuracy-ridden games I've seen from a set of top GM's in a while. Blind panic from both sides.

[@AmbitiousAkbar]

we are watching the future world champion versus the challenger. Both are very exciting players.

[@shivasundar]

Hmm... time trouble made Arjun miss the Knight fork.... good fight, kudos to Alireza for not cracking in mutual time trouble! Tough and complicated game as well, well handled by both players.

Arjun is better than him. Looks like he was under confindent because of big name. To give away queen. But this game surely would have given clearer picture.

[@mayankgupta4350]

why didnt he made queen ?

[@jeetk]

Queen or rook, alireza was anyways going to take it with the bishop, since alireza's king would be in check. I think he just made a piece to deliver the check, rook would also suffice

[@Attahee]

Excitement game

[@ananymunshi]

Can anyone explain firouzja playing King B1? The thought process?

[@Pushpendra_singh96]

King on c1 is slightly exposed on dark square diagonal. And Arjun's dark square bishop is basically a dragon in the game. It can give a deadly check or pin from h6. So king to B1 is a prophylactic move to avoid such threats.
