[@kharismareceh]

The game really instructive on loose pieces

[@davidwhitecross1021]

we love varu, we do

[@Ebobster]

Key point is that when white’s Q went to b3 & his night was on d4, if black played dxc attacking the Q & unmasking an attack on Nd4, white can just respond dxc giving up the N on d4 (after black plays NxN & QxN) because White’s fianchettoed light squared king bishop on g2 takes on c6 (with check) forking black’s king and QR on a8, so white emerges up as he wins the exchange & decimates black’s center & still has a raging attack on black’s king which is stuck in the center. Fischer’s moves N-b3 & Nd4 are very instructive. If black trades on Nb3, W’s development is accelerated as is the pressure on d5 & black’s Queenside. If Black trades on Nd4, White’s bishop on d4 will be excellently placed to attacking the kingside or queenside. In hindsight however trading Ns on d4, preserving his central light squared pawn wedge (d5, e6, c6) was probably black’s last chance to avoid a quick knock out, given that Black already foolishly loosened up his queenside with b5 before he had even castled or finished his development.

2:55 b2-b4 is actually the engine top move. It forces the knight to go to b7. If the knight goes to a4, it has white going Nd2-b3, which then aims to jump to a5 and then b7. Of course this is engine play and not human play.

Fischer mopped up here... I don't even think akobian told us the opponents name.. wish I could mop with Kia like this holy f the knight sac to boot

[@tommydashed4205]

This was a Reti not a KIA. You can transpose to the KIA from the Reti but that was not the case in this game.

[@cielregister8828]

and attacking the rook ... sorry attacking the knight ... he takes ... if he takes ... queen takes I love it

[@gogatorsfoster1]

I'm confused by the puzzle at the end of the video and why it is a stalemate to turn the pawn into a queen

[@pseudocoder78]

Same reasons all stalemates are stalemates: it's black's turn and he can't move. 30:25 rc4+ forks the king and queen, so you have to take, qxc4. But, the black king is not in check and it is now black's turn. STEELMATE, mate!

[@Ebobster]

Great game… and poor Var has amazing patience. lol

[@ragewarrior76]

why black queen has to take the knight at 24.50?cant he just play Ra8 or Rc8?

[@tommydashed4205]

If black simply moves the rook then white will take the pawn on d5 and have a knight on c6 supported by a pawn. Black is losing either way but not taking the knight is just admitting to that fact which means you should probably resign before you just leave the knight there.

[@TLSlimehunter]

STEELMATE!!

[@goodjoeblack5232]

at the end why a rook and not a queen

[@adudecalledtony3731]

goodjoeblack because Rc4 check meets Qxc4 and the queen takes away a2 from the king

[@goodjoeblack5232]

@@adudecalledtony3731 thanks for the reply I watched it back and paid more attention, I see now

[@pemmarajusadhana2071]

Akobian can you upload new videos

[@AhPhoey]

I wonder if Wesley So and Varun have made amends yet.

[@Sarah-no7lv]

Of course they have. They’re not 12 years old.

[@Sarah-no7lv]

Kertan Rajpal Akobian got So disqualified for writing on his scoresheet. He told the arbiter after So had already been warned.

[@kenstephens7747]

Fischer wasn't the only American champion, although he was the only American born one. The first world champion was also an American, having moved from Austria to New York prior to his being awarded the world title. Var has referred to him as "William," although his name was Wilhelm. There was also another guy, Paul Morphy, who was widely considered the world chess champion in the mid 19th century, although only unofficially as the idea of an official championship was still a couple of decades away. While Steinitz was the best player in the world among active players for over 20 years prior to his official victory, he did not proclaim it, out of respect for Morphy, and waited until Morphy's death to make this claim, and it wasn't even considered appropriate for anyone to call themselves champion with Morphy still around, he was that much better than anyone else alive.

I would request you to tak a class on a stratergy session (e4)

Actually there was a counter play vs the Qc3 move, in 17.... black should have played Qa6. I think this is the reason black lost the game

[@ActionSrBlack]

Not really. In case of black plays Qa6, white would respond with Qe5

[@JimLink]

"Who can do the fork?"

[@czechkvapil000]

Paul Morthy was also an American world champion, this guy needs to get more educated about our country if he wants to be an American.

[@fernandoblanco3001]

Paul Morphy was not an official world champion.

[@cielregister8828]

Morphy!!
