Checkmate ends the game! Nakamura vs Sarana World Blitz 2019

World #1 in Blitz, Hikaru Nakamura (USA, 2885) played Russian talent GM Alexey Sarana (RUS, 2657) in round 8 of World Blitz 2019.
Usually a queen+knight combo is more dangerous than a queen+bishop. However, in this video you see how a bishop on a powerful diagonal can be superior than a knight that has absolutely no outposts.

@08:15 Hikaru is putting the car in reverse, he definitely drives a manual 😂

Automatic is for sissies.

so funny man))))

African MusicGenuis Makes no sense. Literally most cars modern cars use automatic and driving manual is fun not gonna lie, but it’s absolute torture when you’re stuck in traffic.

FIRST KZbin VIDEO I’VE EVER SEEN WITH AN ACTUAL CHECKMATE!!!!!

[@miguelferreira3527]

I've seen some dozens of checkmates but I've seen dozens of thousands of matches. I think the most "rare" i saw on youtube was a missed mate in one... I saw it once in all my life watching chess

[@NovaScene]

It was a beautiful game by Nakamura 👏

[@stephendoran2545]

Next move was checkmate.! but it didnt actually get that far.

[@glaciel4769]

Because GMs usually resigns before they get checkmated.

[@destroyedsoul1791]

Stephen Doran he could have brought the queen back & exchanged with the white queen,but very less time forced him to play without thinking.so he moved the Knight away which made it easier for Nakamura.

[@temudjin4700]

I bet they really enjoyed playing with that loud whirring noise in the background.

[@saitamashii]

Better than fucking coughs literally every second

[@possie70]

Also better than playing in heat and sweating. You easily drown out low hums. I bet you weren’t thinking about it for the whole vid

[@dartharaneus67]

8:39 -> Hikaru almost looks disappointed that his opponent lost lol I often see Carlsen do that too.

[@luisramrod9121]

Why do they make that face? I would be happy. They act like it was a disappointment to win so easy.

[@prokopii18]

He might be sad for him :D :D :D Remembering what it's like to lose.

[@Gojoz99]

For super GM,they rather playing intense game than totally winning game... thats why player like MC always make that face...

[@ggermino]

As someone who is teaching their friend how to play chess, I always get sad when they blunder or hang pieces because I want to play a challenging game with them and it’s always disappointing when it ends early because of a simple mistake.

[@evitthought9641]

That's not a "sad" face. It's relief face, like ah over. Good.

I wish all camera angles were as good as this on chess games easy to see with the clock in full view. Excellent production.

I like the camera angle of this video. Makes it easy to follow.

[@frankcastle9866]

Yeah hate the useless videos where it looks like the camera is on the fucking floor

[@CeRz]

In the endgames I always challenge myself by pausing the video and try to predict their next movement. I did fairly well but when Nakamura started moving the queen and the bishop all over the place in the end phase I was lost. Brilliant moves. Well played to Nakamura the super GM

[@22alfatih]

8:15 I thought Hikaru's chair going to slides backward after that move..

[@CommandingElbow]

good one

[@simonliebe7369]

FIRST CHESS GAME I ACTUALLY CAN DIFFERENTIATE ALL THE PIECES! AMAZING VIDEO-TECHNIQUE!!!

[@sebastiannin4655]

This time, coughing noise is replaced by popcorn.

[@anarcho.pacifist]

It seems that Hikaru forgot to bring his empty RedBull can.

[@antoniobreaux1584]

Daniel Șuteu he’s not sponsored anymore. Why would he promote them?

[@BernardoSOUSAstudent]

So much better with GM Hikaro's commentary. After Kd7, he's like "Wait, what?" in he's head.

[@movdqa]

Naka really taking his time in that game but he was all business.

[@veganwaffle]

Why do people put the kings I. The middle after the game. I’ve watch a few other videos and they did the same thing after the game

[@superiorknight]

2:24 I’m no chess player but shouldn’t he move the knight?? To either take out the bishop or rook?

[@JannesDragon]

Can somebody do a tutorial for this pawn spin Hikaru does

[@Ihave10billionsubs]

Is it just me or does Nakamura look exactly like Magnus but asian?

[@marcweeks9178]

It's just you.

Just you bro , just you

[@Jiji_here_431]

Nah many feel the same

[@sa_3od]

I like when Hikaru moves his head !

[@AndrewD624]

Why do they always move the kings to the center of the board when the game is over?

[@klieu90210]

To register a result on the DGT electronic chessboards, you pick up both kings and place them both on central squares. If white has won, they both go on white squares. If black won, they both go on black squares. If the result was a draw, one king goes on a white square and the other on a black square.

[@cheezuschrist1102]

shoop shoop same day, but they’re aren’t just going to release all the games at once lol it takes time dude

[@AndreasRSD]

8:25 Black shouldn’t have moved the knight.

[@iginioporcaro1996]

it would have gived more problem to the King mobility without resolving the strenght on the eighth and the seventh crossbars

[@Will0000]

He shouldn’t of moved the queen next to the king it literally made him get checkmated

[@sergiorenatoreyes6967]

The blunder happened with Nb8 allowing the bishop to enter the king's position and create some sort of a mating net. That Knight on d7 was holding the position for black. Unfortunately, that's what happens in Blitz when you're down to 15 seconds your accuracy drops significantly.

[@lokmanab4897]

The king was harrassed by the white queen and the dude kept thinking about attacking he should have protected the d8 square

[@justinmaybach8174]

Damn. Look at this guy eyelashes))) btw, good job Hikaru

[@aayushgore4245]

Wonderful game

[@Phattyasmo]

Naka just ground him down; you'll notice he declined the trade of knights. Keeping the pieces on the board means the juicer will forever be weak and he'll have to defend it. Good play by Naka.

[@ZyroZoro]

At 2:34 why doesn't Nakamura move his knight in front of Sarana's queen, threatening both the bishop and rook? Nakamura's dark square bishop would be protecting his knight from the queen.

[@marcweeks9178]

But after Rb8, White's knight would have to go back where it came from. It would be like giving Black two moves in a row.

[@georgerotariu3221]

I could see Hikaru think "GG yo"

[@presingizdavastvo4403]

Why not Bf6 instead of Qf3 (aroun 07:40)?

[@marcweeks9178]

Probably because of Nxf6, exf6 Qxf4, Qh6 and Black just checks White's queen over and over. Nakamura didn't want to allow that possibility.

[@asenciondivinagracia8881]

when the knight move away....the bishop put in the strong square...for a mate

[@_Senjumommy]

At 6:51 he could of took the white bishop with the pawn wthhhh, there's was no trick behind it because if the knigth move, the queen would be hanging nd white would be down, also the pawns are blocking the black pawns, even if he was kinda low on time he would've send it also the bishop is not block by the pawn either way i think talking the knigth with the pawn is more effective

[@4dotaonly]

Bishops love open diagonals, so why close it with pawn? Also, you break the pawn island, making them weaker.

A pretty weak turn by Sarana when he blocks c6 with his queen - the only field he shouldn't move to. It appears to be counterintuitive. Wonder why he did it.
