Blitz Chess Tournament #23 (3|0)

[@John_NYT]

I like how Jerry respects all opponents no matter their ELO or time left on the clock. He’s strictly focused on making the best move, and doesn’t get cocky or talk trash.

[@beng4151]

Yeah, I need to learn from him. I'm a real poor sport.

[@Namelessuser501]

True

[@sacthequeen4295]

When you're trying to fix your sleep habits and Jerry uploads a late night video...

[@GamertagTOWELLIE]

I know it! I dreamed about chess after watching this lol

[@pendekargondrong]

I watch jerry's videos to help me if i have trouble with my sleep time. It is kinda sleeping pills for me. Thx jerry

[@holdenranch2384]

Does Jerry ever monetize his videos? I don't recall ever getting an ad on one of his videos

[@TheWeefuzz]

"put a pawn on e5. Game over!" classic Jerry 👍

[@CarlosFreitas99]

Christopher Lydiate pawn of the hill

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Better ingredients, better Mexican food. Taco John.

[@locrianphyrigian3779]

lol well done sir. actually am laughing out loud literally. at work nontheless xD

[@xean316]

Love the blitz tourneys Jerry. They're instructional and enjoyable. Hope you had a nice weekend. Cheers

[@davidmitchell4584]

He called it... the final move. You're the best Jerry. Keep it up.

[@fadesk6865]

12:35 the issue with Nxe4 is Bb6, then after the queen moves, Nc7+ picks up the rook.

[@alexandersanchez9138]

33:13 I think the issue with 24. ...Ra7 is that white has 25. Rc1, and white wiggles out of it without white having gained much. Can somebody check me on this?

[@ionjardim123]

Excellent, please make more videos like this! :)

[@williameckert306]

Love when Jerry plays in tournaments!

[@rayclay2]

Great to be a part of what you do Jerry. ~! i won my first game ~! thank you CN for all you do~! go to CN on Twitch . no matter what..; )

[@TTArt]

Congrats on your first win, that's a start! Now go get another, you tricky knight you!

[@rayclay2]

Thank you.you are very kind Taneli..!.. it is very hard to win in 3 mins. Jerry makes it look easy~! he makes learning Fun. i have seen him do a quad fork with those tricky knights~!

[@SJNaka101]

At 4:45, the words you were looking for... To use a phrase you use often, did you mean that you were more concerned with "making sure all the pieces are coordinated"? That's kind of what I was getting out of your lack of concern for a bad bishop

[@veto7767]

During the last game, Jerry said it wouldn't make sense to berserk, but I feel like it would make a lot of sense. Before the game, Jerry said that #1's game looked like a draw, and if he was right, then #1 would get 2 points to get him to 37 total points without fire. If Jerry berserked and won his game, he would get a total of 37 points as well, but would also have the tie-breaker with fire. Not that it mattered in the end since #1 ended up winning his next 2 games, but at the time, it nonetheless made sense to berserk that game.

[@GALENGODIS]

I think he meant that his opponent would be too stronk, and he would get a loss...

[@Guido125]

At 43:22 there's dxc4 followed by Bxf3. I was really hoping to see that!!

[@BaryLevi]

33:14 missed ... Ra7 trapping the queen

[@easyguitareu]

Rd1xd5 saving queen for white....if queen takes then Qxa7 if pawn takes Qxf5, Rook takes queen doesnt work too

[@Kobra87050]

I love how you said "tripled pawns... tripled pawns!" Something about it made me giggle a little bit

[@matttiemann5454]

Yo Jerry! thanks for these chess videos!, they've been really entertaining

[@MomchilAtanasovHome]

At 36:25 , I personally really appreciate the time you took for the quick note!

[@GamertagTOWELLIE]

At 33:06, isn't Ra7 good? Meet Rc1 with Qxf2

[@osimhenenjoyer]

GamertagTOWELLIE there is Rd5 hitting the queen if you take with the pawn the bishop on f5 is unprotected and gone and if queen takes the white rook on d5 than the rook on a7 is unprotected

[@GamertagTOWELLIE]

Actually, Ra7 is blacks best move here. Rd5 fails to Qb6

[@BongelaMnguni]

@@GamertagTOWELLIE I disagree; white can play Rd6 and get his queen out for something remember he just too a piece for free

[@GamertagTOWELLIE]

He loses the queen and is down the exchange. Stockfish agrees that Ra7 is the best move.

[@organic255]

33:09 Ra7

[@osimhenenjoyer]

Jonathan Liu it doesnt work because of rook takes d5 hitting the queen. If the pawn takes the bishop on f5 is gone and if queen takes than the rook on a7 is gone

[@thegreatcanadian3263]

It does actually work, on rook capture knight, the queen just backs up to b3 and whites queen is still trapped so it has to play to b4 and than pawn captures rook and the white queen recaptures, so in the end they have exchanged a rook for a bishop and pawn.

[@ExpertAtThat]

Thats a nice variation Mr Canadian!

[@scottpaul7427]

19:58 Ba6+ looks like the juicyest to me. I don't see anyway for black to save his queen.

[@TheBlurayHacker]

Your giggle is so wholesome...

[@mattpeters8025]

Is there a way to be alerted of these tournaments? I'd like to participate in one in the future.
