Fully agree, people like agadmator always using engine lines dont compare.

[@centralprocessingunit2564]

[@strong8705]

Perfect. But he is not the only one enjoyable.

[@RangeWilson]

Another very impressive win from the teenage prodigy! He already has the positional instincts of a seasoned GM, along with the aggressiveness and tactical sense of youth, and the combination has been lethal to his recent opponents. In this game, he found just the right series of Queen moves to close the net around Black's king, in a position where plenty of GMs would have gone wrong.

[@macmac8122]

He may be Nr. 3 already behind Carlsen and Caruana?

Who taught you to pronounce his name this good? You do it just like a Persian guy👏

[@GaneshKrishnan]

His previous video had a million comments explaining how to pronounce. I am surprised, he picked up the pronunciation correctly.

[@alvinbernstein1045]

He is not Persian. He is an ethnic Mazandarani (Caspian Sea people). Actually, only 50% of Irans population are Persian, but most of the non-Persians are assimilated/persianized.

[@BeatPoet67]

I remember watching Carlsen play Firouzja in bullet on Lichess when Firouzja was 15. And he exclaimed with great relish "my man Alireza!" Carlsen's ratio against him at that point was something like 3:1 but he obviously appreciated his talent. And Naka's kind of dismissive comment about Alireza not reaching 2800 because of the amount of junk chess he plays looks to have inspired him. He plays without fear, which makes him very dangerous, and very exciting to watch.

[@baoboumusic]

I'm super excited about Firouzja. I think he will be in the Fischer/Kasparov (/Carlsen) category the way he just destroys opponents. Very aggressive too, like Fischer and Kasparov.

[@centralprocessingunit2564]

i think the difference is that Alireza enjoys chess a bit more than Wei Yi. Alireza is playijg literally everything. Online tournaments,OTBs. Any chance he gets to play stronger players he takes it. Competes with highest rated blitz players regularyly e.g. Hikaru. Will make a Chess24 account just to play Magnus. He's hungry to be the best.

Congrats Daniel for being able to prnounce Firouzja's name as it is said in Persian :) Everyone just says ferouzha

[@davidblue819]

Grandmasters may object to unnecessary moves at the end of the game, but I always see it as a bonus to have top players showing us how to do simple things right.

[@alieskandari633]

Nice choice and fantastic commentary as usual 👍

[@thewarlordscalling6537]

To many of us,Firouzja has just arrived on the chess scene much like Alpha zero did.without a warning,we find ourselves faced wth something that looks like t has unlimited potential

[@bookiification]

Thanks Daniel for all the valuable stuff you lovingly provide chess enthusiasts with. And by the way, your succinct, eloquent commentary with genuine British accent offers an excellent English course!

[@quizarrdd1]

Mr King is a professional commentator, in comparison to the others. Pronouncing names perfectly, editing and highlighting only the most important game moments, utilising great inflection of voice(notable of only good commentators in sports, the news etc), has a slow and unrushed pace enabling him to reduce epic long complex chess motifs into entertaining and digestible videos, giving myself at least a great sense of trust in his presentation. Think of these professional points in relation to all others, no matter how fun or frivolous they may be.

[@lucianotaborda8859]

The best chess comentator ever!

[@nsyln]

They seem scared of Alireza.

[@Fluxion11]

Uncrowned new king Allireza

[@postnubilaphoebus96]

I think I may have played Bb3 instead of Qf4, as I'm a dynamic player. My weakness does not really lie in not recognising opportunities like this but instead carrying the point home.

[@pavelernestonavarroguerrer7871]

"His technique was safe and sound"!!!

[@karlvernor1690]

Hi Daniel. Love your videos. In the position you showed after qxb2 and bd3 can bxb be played as r on c1 is hanging? Thanks Daniel

[@lashabezhanishvili9034]

Excellent commentary as usual Mr. King. :) Looking forward for more. Just one thing - Firouzja loves space, unlike Fischer, who I view as a more Morphy-like player - favoring piece activity and king safety over space. Fischer himself never played advanced Caro-Kan himself. :) Kasparov also tried some crazy tactical lines instead of e5. In general, the space is a fascinating thing. After Alexander Maccdonel, who lost the match because of love for space, rarely great players(apart from Steinitz) went for it right from the opening.

[@xspyy]

I dont see fisher losing to wesley so the way alireza did today.

[@farhadsharp]

You are the only one amoung the chess commentators who prounonces Firouzja's name correctly. I can judge that because I am Iranian.

[@SuperJuiceman11]

19.Bb3... very cool and calm indeed! top class confidence that his light squared Bishop was worth saving over the h-pawn

[@farhadsharp]

Firouzja is going to win this tournament and he will win the next candidates in 2022 and will become the world champion

[@TheSludgeMan]

Firouzja's pawn sacrifice reminds me of the adage, "no pawn break, no plan". Once you understand that e6 is the only real plan for white, the sac seems obvious, but it takes deep intuition to see it in the game.

[@MrRobbyvent]

It seems that Danny fell in love with Firouzja!😁

[@darsaana]

Great Daniel ! Alireza is capable to win Wijk, he is extremely ambitious and no one really knows how strong he can be. Merci beaucoup pour le match))

[@Farhadino1]

What is your idea about: After white K-d1, BlackK Kd7 x e5? (6:33)

[@reddevilkev]

I see a lot of similarities with Carlsen once they force a weakness they keep pressing the position with subtle moves until the opposition cracks

[@shauntaylor6040]

Actually he has a great feel for the initiative more like Spassky in his heyday.

[@arsalan51]

to me he is more like Mikhail Tal, ( Latvian grand-master ,the world chess championship in 1960-61) , a fighter in chess board.

[@sameermana2003]

Just wondering if black could get away with 5. Bxb1 and after Rxb qa5+ followed by winning the a2 pawn

[@davidblue819]

I thought about the same thing. But later we could see there were other opportunities to grab material and struggle with less development, and that is ultimately how things went, without Black being enthusiastic for that or getting a good result from it, so the fifth move was not significant. It was one clash of attitudes all the way along, with white confidently eager to sacrifice a little material, and Black not wanting to be material up but trying in vain to get to a safe game.

[@jimgeary]

I wonder if one were to graph “coming to terms” with own mortality v age, would it would be a line with negative slope? I only say this because the exemplar of this is Anand, who doesn’t even wait past sundown to go quietly into the night.

[@yanair2091]

Speaking of Fischer, when is that "Road to Reykjavik" going to continue?

[@fundhund62]

7:03 couldn´t black have played 18.-Nc4 ?

[@BvBCrafty]

white would have taken on f5 and than on c4 next

[@markjuhasz2803]

At 2'58"" What about Qxb2 Bd3 Bxd3 and the bishop can not be taken back because the c1R is hanging? I guess I miss sg :)

The rook is not hanging. The bishop on g5 is taking care of it!

[@markjuhasz2803]

[@carlosladen]

I had the same question, and I forgot the Bishop on g5, incredible :-)

[@ig2d]

to be fair to Artemiev 54 Be2 was an ONLY move to win. Can't blame a guy for trying. As Fischer once said - no one has ever scored any points by resigning..

[@simonmojarad4806]

He is the only one Magnus fears.

[@kajaskov6270]

Well, I would put it the other way around and say that Magnus is the only player the rest of the field fears!

[@jonasjonass623]

In case of 50. Kxf4 h3 white needs to play g4 i guess? Looked like the last try to me so black can trade all the pawns on the queenside

[@jonasjonass623]

It was move 49*

[@jonasjonass623]

I guess White is probably fast enough on the queenside while he can use the h pawn as a decoy
