[@SeiferHartmann]

Dubov has been one of the only current top players to give me hope that there is still something to be found for the case of romantic chess. Enough with the boring theoretical lines that are 20+ moves deep... just look at this! Look at the use of raw intuition and sacrificing a pawn not even 10 moves into the game for active piece play. Truly a modern day, living inspiration for attacking and creative minds over the 64 squares.

[@ronvillaxx]

The eye contact with Martirosyan is the best...

[@ilyaslobodkin3811]

That final Qh5 move will ingrain in my memory as my favorite chess move played/ favorite final blow. Even though Dubov's attack was underway, I did not expect Qh5 at all. And neither did Nihal apparently.

[@clarki21]

3:58 Dubov: Entonces has elegido el camino de la muerte.

[@stephenmeek5757]

The look Dubov gives when he takes on d4 with his rook, as if to say can you really let me do this lol. Qh5 at the end is an absolute killer

[@adityajagtap4349]

This is just solid prep , Didn't expect Nihal to fall into it even after using so much time on clock.

[@excelior1]

Nihal seems to be the only one truly enjoying chess. He gets happy even losing if the opponent played well like Dubov did.

[@thePot_]

Daniil only made eyes move after Nihal pushed the clock :) Strategic :)

[@AKhan0372]

Pressing clock doesn't matter. Once you touch the knight, you have to move it.

Mate in 3 after that queen move. Dubov always hunt opponent king with powerful attack. As expected of one of most creative player.

[@propagandaBreaker]

actually, it is mate in 4...but I had to check it with stockfish :-) 1. Qh5 Qxh2+ (1... Nf6 2. Bxf6 h6 3. Qxh6 Qxh2+ 4. Rxh2 Bxf6 5. Qh7#) 2. Rxh2 Nf6 3. Bxf6 h6 4. Qxh6 Bxf6 5. Qh7#

[@wasekbillah8637]

This kind of game make you so passionate about chess..

[@hirak16]

This is going to hurt Nihal. It also drastically reduced his chances for the title. This miniature reminds of the Anand-Nepo game from the Online Nation's Cup. One obvious looking move and the game completely goes out of control.

[@zvezdazvijezda3594]

he had pretty low chances anyway tbh

[@onnifood2425]

I love nihal but to be honest he doesnt have chance to win that title rigth now... maybe for the future

OMG ... what an impressive display of hyper aggressive chess! No wonder Magnus Carlsen put Dubov in his team! I have never Nihal get crushed like that! Dubov had seen the queen sac as soon as he put his black bishop on c3.

this looks almost exactly like Nihal Sarin and Daniil Dubov at the 2022 rapid world championships. (minus the pressure from nihals bishop on e7 and dubovs rook on h4)

maybe e5 is good alternative since equal prior to the sudden knight move which was the only piece defending kingside.

It took Daniil less than a millisecond to evaluate the Knight's move abandoning h7 and exactly 6 seconds to play the queen sacrifice...brutal mate. The truth hurts.

Why less than millisecond? He already knew knight can't move when he played Ng5.

He should have kept the king in the centre given white rook was already lifted and was on king side. And i felt the g6 move was very loose. Should have tried to exchanging some pieces . Opened the Knight diagonal . It was so easy for dubov. GG ❤️

it was still equal prior to sudden knight move which was the only piece defending kingside flank pawns maybe e5 alternative
