Excellent and very nice game by Gareyev! He outplayed Firouzja, dominated his position, and finally converted safely.

[@tunisiamyluv5953]

i like gareyev style. many times it goes messy but also it can go crazy and creative

[@ramyfarrag7034]

Timur maintained a small advantage throughout the game and converted it to winning ending. All by good technique. Excellent execution!!

[@cricket5179]

great game.. might be one of the few games where there are no takes for long time.. all pieces were on board for long time.. great game by Timur!! ...Thank you Chessbase team for showing all these matches..

[@godfatherpra]

This can easily be great positional teaching material. Quite refreshing to see this match.

[@karlarsch1627]

Yes very interesting, for me it looks like Alireza couldnt improve his pretty good position after the opening and Timur managed it to develope the queen side step by step to an powerful attack. Elo 1500 has spoken ;)

[@danielschulz5447]

@@karlarsch1627 to me it seems, Alireza made a mistake in the opening, so that Timur get quite early a promising position. Then he played very accurately, so Alireza seemed not been gotten much chances to strike back. Safe conversion in the endgame. All in one, very instructive game.👍 (I have ELO 2100 :))

Wow.A very well played game by GM Timur. Usually the lower rated player ,will blunder in the end or will be out play by the higher rated player.GM Gareyev played a fantastic game,he matched the tactical prowess of Alireza.It's nice to see,how he use his powerfull king in the endgame. Maybe it could be candidate,for the best game of the year.

[@hhfilms892]

I’ve got a signed chess board from Timur Garyev. He’s done a lot for chess in my community!

[@areebkamal]

Alireza is clearly a proud owner of the gotham d4 course for white

[@bariseker4193]

Alireza missed the obvious move Nc4 at 03:07 attacking the d6 pawn twice and getting a totally winning position. After that Timur played like a machine.

[@ahmedsitnic4105]

After Nc4 maybe it is possible for black to go for g5-g4 but I don't know, have not checked with the engine, it just seems like the only idea there for black

[@VincentPaul-tt8jt]

No. D6 pawn is a poisoned chalice. After NC4, A6 NBXD6,B5,AXB,AXB,NXC8,BXC4.....the Knight is stranded on C8 and can't back out. Therefore Ali would have lost a piece.

[@LalitSahu-fk8ws]

g5 followed by g4 and Nxg2+ seems to be crushing for black I can't lie

Thought black played slow and seemingly without a plan at all to begin with, but then suddenly he reached a really nice position "benonistyle".👍 Was thiking f5 but h5 probably was better. 🤔

[@alpulley4894]

Timur creativity a little too much for the new kid on the block.

[@ezequielsilva6652]

Wow Timur, epico!!

[@chessbrilliance8783]

Gareev is funny because sometimes he behaves like he has no clue of what he is doing, but don't be fooled because this guy is highly dangerous.

[@marcopecs]

That was exactly my impression, for about 3 minutes. Then, he won easely.

[@chrisiver8506]

He played slow in the opening and seemingly made it up as he went haha, we all know better tho

[@chrisiver8506]

@derek Its one of the more fun ways, this game turned into a Benoni which is potent on the queenside but also very fragile. Nh5-Nf4 so early exemplifies the strangeness of these positions.

[@QuCaNi]

3:05 If Firo plays the simple Nc4 he wins easily. The pawn on d6 falls and with it the whole position. After Nc4 the engine gives a +5 advantage. After h3?? the evaluation is equal.

[@je9625]

Blacks Qc7 (from b6) looked dubious. Better was a6

[@smellyracoon1018]

Before saying that it’s winning easily, you need to tell us what happens against black’s g5-g4 plan;)

[@QuCaNi]

@@smellyracoon1018 I get the point. You will have to live with the king in the center after 1...g5 2.Bg3 g4 3.Be2 Nxg2+ 4.Kf1. Practically in a blitz game maybe not too easy to convert. But I think White has straightforward play here. Understandable that Firo didn't go for it.

EN: chess is taking a twist that I don't like: we look at the player on the right, the hairstyle he wears is inappropriate for a serious game like chess, in these levels, he is not an "unclassified", but a great master, and as such he must present himself with a well-trimmed beard and more dignified hair. We try to give some rules of behavior in this game, netflix fiction has already ruined this game, at least among great masters, be dignified! IT: gli scacchi stanno prendendo un risvolto che non mi piace: osserviamo il giocatore di destra, la acconciatura di capelli che indossa è inappropriata per un gioco serio come gli scacchi, in questi livelli, non è un "non classificato", ma un grande maestro, e come tale deve presentarsi con la barba ben sistemata e i capelli più dignitosi. Cerchiamo di dare delle regole di comportamento in questo gioco, già la fiction di netflix ha rovinato questo gioco, almeno tra grandi maestri, siate dignitosi!
