Hans Niemann grabs the queen, but Nihal has other plans | World Rapid Teams 2024

[@theazrael4423]

Yeah, I caught that too

[@karanarora1468]

8:31 I feel bad for Hans , not for loosing but for taking new queen in the hand 😆

[@Bruno08931]

Lol yeah sorry for Hans but that was so funny

[@tomtsu5923]

So brutal 😂

[@flotreize3447]

Hans grabbing a new queen at 8:35, then suddenly realizing he is mate at 8:42 !!! Nihal killer's look at 8:45 !!!! Chess games can be soooo dramatic. Well done NIHAL.

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

That "oh shit" look on the Hans is priceless

[@sagarjambukar7137]

Hans was too focused on beating Nihal either by queening his pawn and or beating Nihal on time, so he rushed in the last move and didn’t assume Nihal will counter attack. Classic lesson for chess learners on how you need to focus on opponents threats simultaneously while you carry on with your strategy. ❤

[@cjg28]

Excellent point!

[@vmwsree]

Nihal made the moves faster even with his body language hans felt Nihal ws trying to stop him from queening

[@mentix002]

Nihal has truly been one of my favourite Indian players. Even though he’s lower rated than most of the top guys who get the limelight, I remember a few years ago when he was an up and coming blitz specialist. I believe Nihal to be the next Naroditsky type player - a very talented classical player but maybe not in the top leagues but a monster at blitz / bullet. Great game!

[@exelmans8855]

He’s much superior to Narodistky.

I see him as a tactical monster

[@Neomatrix8]

fabulous game..he literally smothered Hans..

[@Celebes5212]

“Literally smothered” 😂😂😂

[@vmwsree]

The way nihal acted like he is trying the best to keep the pawn from promoting by moving his pieces fast at the end, made hans feel so safe 😅 he was ready with all nihals attempt to stop it, he simple overlooked his kings safety

[@Jmmdndjdjdbdhdn]

Hans dialogue --- *Chess speak itself*

[@manifestyourlife7]

Nihal is a beast, tricks them online, tricks them over the board. 😳😳🔥🔥

[@Wargasm54]

Hans’ eye was on the prize queen. Tunnel vision got him smothered.

[@gabrielvillanueva6187]

Nihal can beat anyone on any given day. I would like to see him playing more matches against the elite field.

[@SoydeCubaCompay]

Nihal just looks at him and looks at him like, So, huh ? 🤭8:37

[@sarahatantra1158]

Great game after long time

[@eugeniomoccia3917]

Niemann is a player who knows how to attack but doesn't know how to defend; Nihal did a great job.

[@fromthebasement918]

Nihal has been one of the most impressive players at this event held his own against Magnus and it was a dead draw the entire way down, checkmates hans, he is very well prepared I like his game

Master tricker Nihal❤

[@davidc5191]

Really b6 was the losing move at 8:34 since White could still play Rd2 instead as you earlier suggested. Then ...Rgg3, and Kh1 defends since ...R:h3+, gh, R:h3+ and White has Rh2. Overall a very nasty trap.

[@call_me-jo]

One of the fastest plsyers in the world but always gets into time trouble

[@ElJorgius]

Hans: Can I promote my pawn? I'm winning. Nihal: What are you winning? Then take this. 😎😂😂

The difference between wm and us regular players: two moves before checkmate I think how black can't increase the attack on the white king

That's why we suspect the shenanigans. Missing a mate in 3 is not a super GM thing to do.😅

Normally the rooks double up on a file instead of a rank. That’s why I think Hans missed it.

[@ChessWizard-cn8kk]

Bro thought he was Hikaru "Kidding?". Mate in 1....

[@chulavista5239]

Grabbing the queen is hilarious. How often does that happen at the GM level, where you grab a new queen only to be faced with mate in 2?

[@jimmyandersen742]

Nihal should have take the black queen and sending a smile to little Hans Niemals!
