[@GlintJr]

Nc6

[@fredgandolfi2356]

At 4:32 Hans played bd3 instead of ng5. And Yoo was letting him. The Eval bar did not flinch. What's wrong with ng5? Was the idea to snap the pawn (he did later on) only after development?

[@nazmigashi9348]

Probably because of that Queen Check on g3. That would mean "destroying whites castling" or exchanging queens if white would put his queen in f2 to block check. Perhaps that would make the drawing chances higher for black. Black had a very open king, and its defense would be much easier if white would lose castling rights or after a queen exchange.

[@a.8597]

Qh6 maybe

[@grvd97]

11:59 why did yoo did not capture rook ? And he resigned early.

[@metaphysician7621]

If black takes the rook, white mates in a few moves after Qe5+. Black didn’t resign early. In the final position, there’s no stopping Rc7+, mating trivially.

[@grvd97]

[@MrJonni3000]

[@lucianadiacipriani5220]

Strong play by Hans Niemann. Christopher Yoo tore up the castling side too much. I liked the way Hans Niemann prepared the pawn avalanche in the center. Christopher Yoo was powerless after that.

[@TheChohr]

He was stupid to go grabbing pawns on the queen side. Rxc6 was so obviously incoming and he just didn't recognise the danger

Castling into a wide open king side uff

[@SeunDr]

Why didn't he take back at 11:19?

[@youness7565]

Hi SeunDr, because of Qe5+! (exclamation mark). And then the black king is in big trouble, a mate net between the light square bishop and the queen on the dark squares. It will be a checkmate in few moves I guess. We can also notice that the knight on c6 was guarding e5.

[@Jack-cs5pm]

After taking the Rook, Queen can move up and give a check on e5, this forces King to move to g8. Then Bishop to h7 is checkmate as it's protected by the knight.

[@biankaj.v.2218]

​@@Jack-cs5pm no. first the rook can block on g7, the king doesnt have to move (e7 tho and then it looks bad to me). If the King moves then Bh7 might still be winning but certainly is not mate (bc of the same rook mentioned before). Bg7 or Sg7 seems to win material. There may be a forced mate but i cant tell. What i can say is that Bh7 is not mate ^^'

[@Jack-cs5pm]

@@biankaj.v.2218 if he blocks with the rook then Hans can simply take the pawn with his rook and then he is lined up to take the rook as its now pinned by the queen, if the other rook tries to block this he can just take and again the remaining rook is pinned so it becomes mate quickly

After king takes knight next comes rook c7 check, and with queen and rook on the back two ranks it quickly loses.
