Carlsen - Kramnik (World Blitz Championship 2010)

[@whichoney]

I learn so much watching these games, watching the strategies magnus employs against various setups really helps.

[@afrnos]

You can do this move with some conditions. The move is called "En passant" (in passing). You can find more info on wikipedia

[@AkaDovb]

This is a legal move called "en passant" possible only when a pawn advances two squares from its starting position and when there is an opponent's pawn on an adjacent file next to its destination square (more details on wikipedia)

[@PlsPlayDota]

Amazing play at the end

[@antoinezygfryd]

deux géants et une extraordinaire fin de partie....

[@SwagyBoiBoi96]

the move is called En Passent, meaning passing by

[@lamblias6od]

Da niu se llama captura al paso, este movimiento se puede realizar cuando un peón ya sea el tuyo o el de tu oponente lo mueves dos cuadros en un solo turno y este queda exactamente alado de otro peón contrario, entonces se puede tomar el peón como si solo se hubiera movido un cuadro

[@prOph3cy89]

Because Qc3+ (Qh7,Qh3+ etc.) means an immediate draw. So taking with his king was a better chance to get out of all the possible checks, but in the end it didn't matter.

[@nomainreason]

i like how there's no sense of urgency from Carlsen at the beginning

[@MagoMinelli]

After 7:41 Qg4, what about King... f8? Then Qf4 and King e8? Or is there a perpetual I can't see?

[@22Kyu]

In sovieth rushia, pawn take becorz he can! :P (actually he can coz of this thing called en passant, where if you move a pawn 2 squares to escape capture by his pawn, he can still capture it as though it just moved one square!)

[@phillyshell94]

how can i get a set like that and whats the name of the set?

[@RatanMehta]

hopefully this isnt a stupid question. At 5:00, whit to move. Why didn't he play re4 to pin the bishop? thanks!

[@leoyt123]

How do I know whether it's a draw, lost, or a win?

[@RoboPimp3000]

Best part: The kid and his dad are wearing matching outfits.

[@eur0kan92]

i have to ask it, could someone tell me why did black resigne? yes it may seems lil hard but i thought he still had a chance?

[@DanillaSKV]

who win?)

[@sfhdiosha]

That was 3min + 2sec per move?

[@anirudhmore]

think it was a draw by mutual agreement according to description.. perpetual check perhaps

[@scienceisknolwedge]

Magnus lives in a eternal hangover

[@gianluca1870]

Re4 pinning the bishop it's not dangerous for Black because the bishop is protected by the d6 pawn; Black would simply move the Qeen to f7 unpinning the bishop and threatening Qxf2 check

[@10xXxtailedxXxdemon]

why didnt he take the rook at 7:08 with his queen?if this isnt a stupid question to ask

[@nefaristo]

(what's the point of zooming in and out by the way?)

[@scienceisknolwedge]

@Fupper16 shut up, Bobby Fischer is one of the greatest chess players in history. And he did have a point in this matter.

[@nobelknights]

how much would a chess set just like this one cost??

[@EmpyrIV]

Carlsen's king really doesn't want to go to the fight :)

[@rise99]

@NachtCrus because it's double check by the queen and the bishop..

[@Kasparovwannabe]

@ftworthxxx Oh really? How many years have you been associates I would love to know the details on your relationship with him if it gives you such insight into his personality.

[@mariokonta]

WTF happens at 4:38 ? Can someone explain me please?

[@Kasparovwannabe]

@sebs42 No the game was drawn due to perpetual.

[@MrJudaor]

what happens exaclty at 4.45? black ate white in a wrong position!

[@TheDynamicOxygen]

Because Qc3+ then again Qh3+ was a clean draw.

[@TIKOMIX]

Why didn't black take the rook with the queen instead of the king at 7:17? I think that was a blunder or is there something I don't see?

[@effortless35]

@10xXxtailedxXxdemon It's not a stupid question but White just keeps on checking on c3 and h3. It's a draw either way.

[@Mopzboy]

funny how the less time they have, the harder they hit the clock

[@poordomino12]

wait at 4:43 why the hell did he take calsens pawn

[@Shadowboost]

Perhaps Qh3 can be a little counter play?

[@spenny_dee]

En Passant

[@mehdilee6737]

we call this magic

[@danielac9428]

Shadowboost Si DH3, pues Dama x Caballo de parte de las negras, y no hay mate con ese jaque en H7. Y Carlsen habría entregado material en vano.

[@TheSanguineNight]

@nobelknights Every of these sets cost a bit more than 400 euros

[@weirdly3329]

how did he win?

[@TheRomanianWolf]

It's DRAW by perpetual check. Don't you know chess?

[@Mjandro]

Alguien que hable español me podria explicar el movimiento de ese peon en 4:36

[@theramoz1]

nice drew

[@jairhumberto]

Well, because would be draw anyway. With perpetual at Qc3+ and Qh3+ .

[@videosguitarheromx]

@10xXxtailedxXxdemon i dont know why ._. -- nice question :DD

[@joshpomeranc4381]

Carlsens using different Bishops.

[@brocksampson913]

what a weird pirc. playing a4-a5, h3-h4-h5. anybody know if that was theory?

[@JimmKopsa]

@MagoMinelli after Kf8 Qg8 is mate

[@PhalgunKorikana]

harder and faster in the end!! lmao

[@format98898]

it would have been draw. ... QxH7 then Qc3+ Qg7; Qh3+ Qh7. I think that's the reason

[@craik62]

@TIKOMIX i guess that was a misstake o.O

[@arcaplas]

@TIKOMIX a perpetual check, Qxh7, Qc3+ Qg7, Qh3+...

[@jaguar1101]

@PeterRoeder31 it would be a draw anyways, with Qc3+ Qh3+ etc.

[@NachtCrus]

wait wait, why does black not take the rook at 7:00

[@Hedgehogs4Me]

En passant pawn capture.

[@Pshoeshus]

@sfhdiosha yup

[@Karjalol]

cause of perpetual check

[@gal23ocsi1]

1' 52 "kahmka" is a signal for bad move or good move ? or this guy should look for a doctor !

[@aceofspaids98]

Kramnik resignd

[@markos446]

La pieza del rey blanco esta torcido.

[@Renatoyoga]

draw by perpetual check

[@ronnie180398]

@timothy51886 Yes, but still it would have been a draw, because of the check on c3

[@Simenter13]

Search in google for "Tournament chess board + pieces" i have nearly the same, 40 € for board + pieces

[@BlackSN8K]

@nobelknights $120... google chess sets and you shall find all sorts of websites that sells legitimate chess sets and clocks.

[@BlackSN8K]

why can't black's queen capture rookh7? he'll be up a rook (black)

[@aac2130]

carlsen winner

[@gymflake]

White's King's head is bent...leaning Backwards

[@MSav1988]

Carlsen always looks as if hes pulled out of his sleep and made to play.....!! :P.....watching someone like Kasparov was so much entertainment....and i dont mean watching the chess.....just watching the players play .... :))

[@JPLopes]

caraca... quem era o pigarrento q ficava toda hora tirando catarro da garganta? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@Kasparovwannabe]

@DanillaSKV draw

[@69zArathustrA96]

what??????

[@antifascistas68]

@ftworthxxx kramiks style dull and uninteresting? haven't you seen recent games of him?! of course he was famous for going into drawish positions but that was in the past when he was playing (championship-)matches in which it is advantagous to play so. but nowadays - for example at the london chess classics he played absolutely attractive chess!!!

[@carlosvbm]

@Mopzboy it's not funny, it's obvious.

[@JiangweiYu12]

@BlackSN8K Qc3, Qg7, Qh3 still draw

[@Cristiano051285]

boa

[@pishtinjak92]

Because it's draw if he take a rook with a queen

[@nenadusa3]

Playing as white, draw means loss

[@zidane2589]

queen will go to c3 check ! king cant move ! kramniks queen goes to g 7 ! white will go back and forth from c3 to h3 ! and its a draw!

[@theMosen]

the two black knights don't even match. check out 3:24

[@JBades6310]

wowww good point @zidane2589

[@orlandogari64chess]

Kramnik debió ganar , es un "Ruso"

[@sobribuqhari1]

hurmmm
