Anand vs. Carlsen | World Championship 2013 - GM Varuzhan Akobian

[@22Moody]

"If you don't know what to do just give a check" Best line in the whole lecture.

[@BixenteFabregas]

The endgame study is from Ernest Levonovich Pogosyants (Эрнест Левонович Погосянц), published the 19th march 1971 in the famous Soviet chess magazine "64" and won a special prize. This is an economic version of a study by Gurvich, Sachové Umenie, 1947 Start position FEN: 8/8/8/8/8/1r3P2/1kN2K1n/1N6 w - - 0 1 Ascii: wKf2,Nb1,c2,Pf3/bKb2,Nh2,Rb3 A well deserved prize, because it has less pieces and includes an underpromotion!

As usual, very instructive, and a good choice of game.. Well done! As a fan of Anand, that 2013 match was hard to watch, but Carlsen was in pretty amazing form.

White played f3 and lost. Conclusion: Never play f3

[@nullvoid3452]

+Manwlatsi play F3, your first attack momentum should probably carry mate

[@gennydsouza718]

I won a game because of this video

[@tomekduresov706]

4.f3.. Mike Kummer approved..

[@jessepautz]

never play f3.

[@wiperiser1]

That study in the end was extremely hard to see from start to finish, very nice though!

[@bibbip78chess10]

The real question is "what to eat tonight".

[@samuelyoung8103]

Lmao, Anand was hilarious.

[@1471emre]

what about Kf2 at the critical position?

[@itsanime9276]

Hi

[@shivshaktibatteryenterpris7197]

please make a video on Queens pawn opening for white

[@rainerausdemspring894]

Master Akobian is a great teacher, but this video - with all those pop-up windows - is horrible.

[@afbdreds]

I'm totally begginer, is there any free software like this one he's using to save possible variations?

[@ketabkhaneh-mmm]

In the study Fritz thinks there is another answer: 1.Nf2+ Kg2 2.Rxa2 c1=N+ 3.Kb2 and now Kxf2 4.Ra8 Ne2 If it is possible please explain this variant that goes to endgam R+N vs R.

[@tomekduresov706]

I was prepering this line with c4, putting a knight on b3... and then when the game started my opponent played 4. Qc2, which he never played, I was furious..

I find him a great teacher, but it's a bit unfortunate that he only comments 1.d4 when focusing on white. A pity

[@isolatedgirl]

ok

[@Cocoboi7]

Remember, You can never pronounce vishwanath in American accent..

19:56 "...who is attacking WHOM?" Not "...who is attacking who now".
