An attacking masterpiece - pressure, initiative, well timed sacrifices · Training Game

[@hamarthomas48]

You should talk to this guy about the game. It says in his profile that he's looking to become a master, seems to be a pretty focused guy, he's looking for a study partner.

[@michaelf8221]

Didn't you directly follow Gurgenidze - Tal from '57? No wonder your opponent was playing instantly. That's like the most famous attacking game in the Benoni!

[@henningg.1687]

It's true! I can only imagine that this must be one of the happiest days in the chess live of his opponent, too. To get the opportunity to have this on the board and follow all the beautiful attacking ideas of Tal himself!

[@luisserrano5951]

Imagine playing the benoni lol

[@xrpoLa]

@@luisserrano5951The Benoni is a sound opening, Fabiano played it at the candidates tournament

[@leo-um6yt]

@@luisserrano5951 the benoni is great wdym

[@bluefin.64]

​@@luisserrano5951It's rare among top players at classical time controls, but they use it a lot more in rapid and blitz.

[@PFCMilne]

Opponent played really well in this one. Your online rating is up at 2300 so you'll be attracting some strong opponents at that kind of rating. He got a great attacking position without needing to take time to think so you have to put it down to good prep by him/her.

[@prussia9255]

As someone else pointed out, the start of the game is almost exactly like a Tal game vs. Gurgenidze in 1957, which is probably why they were playing so fast.

[@PFCMilne]

@@prussia9255 Very true and if that is the case then I still find it amazing how people can memorize so many positions from previously played master games. I guess this is a key ability in making someone a strong player! Very enjoyable game to watch due to the clinical attack.

[@synthesiageek4667]

I haven't seen anybody run into prep this badly since Brazil yesterday ☠️

Look up Erigaisi-Sarin from this years tata steel India, poor Nihal got into 40 moves prep

THIS IS JUST HOW TAL CRUSHED THAT ONE GUY WITH THE BENONI WOWW. THE COMPLETELY SAME ATTACK

[@peterstone1916]

That Qxh3!! Also happened in a Tal game from the Benoni!

[@zach1912XD]

This is the most I've ever enjoyed one of your opponents' playing

[@Raydude2301]

I love your personal videos. And love your intro of your name pronunciation 🤣

[@sammaurer4951]

Wonderfully instructive game, i love your thought process and all of your content!

The Thumbnail 💀

The thumbnail has to be one of the best ever made

[@zBrain0]

Every time I'm on the receiving end of something like this I always wonder how the hell I got there. This game was interesting enough I may go analyze it on my own

[@russellbaker4256]

Best game I have seen you post

[@anton5646]

Brutal game, good sacrifice to know for future games

[@minefieldtango5513]

I've been following and playing chess since approximately 2014. This is the most brutal attacking game I've seen since So crushed Kasparov Morphy-style in Saint Louis Ultimate Blitz 2016.

[@paulmichaud7565]

Agreed. That was a lot of fun to watch. Even though you had so many pieces working in your defense, your opponent showed great time discipline with his attack.

[@jamaalbuki7769]

Great game, keep up the great chess content!

[@Fringe-ui8qf]

Amazing how similar this is to Gurgenidze - Tal

[@user-dx1qi5lk9p]

The opponent mentioned that game and which book it could be found in the chat after the game was over. It was full preparation

[@grantc.7838]

This game was almost gurgenidze-tal for the first 20 moves

[@humansareweird2866]

Attack like Tal! Beautiful game

[@joallen2004]

Amazing preparation by your opponent

[@parker_chess]

This guy is the real business. Strong player

[@brucewallace2]

Great game! Always more fun to attack than defend.

[@ironTzav]

What a beautiful, rich game!

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

I play the benoni. It's a fun one. Boden mate attack is my favorite checkmate! I haven't gotten anyone with it yet 😕

[@ReiAyasuka]

Benoni 🖤

[@cedriccappelle2036]

19:00 Bxe3 Bxe3 Nxd4!? exd5 Rxe3!? Rxe3 Bxc4+ Qxc4 Qh1+ Ke2 Qxb1 . Am I missing something? Black ends up a piece down, but has 3 pawns for it. Ah, white takes on e3 with the rook first, so the bishop covers g1?

[@hearteyedgirl]

how is knight f3 at move 15 and bishop g5 at move 16?

[@connectingthepieces4845]

Brutal

[@vanvalium]

Cool game!

[@mariamalave4961]

Good game

[@crimsonking5961]

Congrats on Croatia beating Brazil. Once Brazil scored I (and apparently Brazil) thought the game was over.

[@DonaldSjervenE]

Nice game.That World Cup game too. This is the first time I've followed it. My pick is still in it and play Croatia next. Wait a second ... Which World Cup team were you referring to? Okay. Okay. I'd've picked the US but when they said football I thought something else. (Don't know if that 3-word apostrophization is legit.)

[@VEbeats]

the abbreviation is generally I would've :) otherwise your english is great

[@DonaldSjervenE]

@@VEbeats That's what I thought until the spell checker didn't go off. The urban dictionary has this listing: y'all'd've'f'i'd've.

[@xx-jk1iq]

The first 19 moves are a game tal played as black

[@filip66700]

Oof

[@kingsindianattack]

You lost this one cuz u won a lot of games hahaha just kidding! Guys today my opponent accepted my takeback and after a few moves he hangs a mate in #1, I said to him in the chat that's a mate in one by I won't Checkmate u, u deserve to win this game. Is what I did decent u guys ??

[@billagap3213]

The only takeback i would accept is misclick in a castle position or an obvious 1-move hang of a piece instead of something else.

[@maciejatkowski5524]

It depends on two things. Was a move you played a misclick or did you blunder something? And did you guys played chess just for fun or seriously? I find it much easier to 1) stick to playing chess seriously unless both players agree otherwise, this way the rules are clear and there are no sentiments involved, and 2) don't send or accept a takeback unless it was a misclick and don't rage if your opponent won't accept your takeback, he's not obliged, he's not automatically an asshole. So, was it decent? If he accepted a takeback because you blundered, then probably yes. If you played for fun, also probably yes. But if it's otherwise, then I find the whole situation quite strange and unnatural. Just follow the rules.

[@kingsindianattack]

@@maciejatkowski5524 Yeah it was a missclick. I was going to take the pawn on g2 with the rook, I played Rg3!

[@maciejatkowski5524]

@@kingsindianattack Hehe, I guess that you had the open g-file and had an attack on the kingside, right? Anyways, I don't think that not checkmating him was necessary, I think it's fair to do that. It's your opponent's responsibility to understand that he took the risk by accepting your takeback and that he did it selflessly, without expecting in return anything at all (at least when it comes to the quality of the chess moves themselves. I've recently a situation where I accepted my opponent's takeback and then later on I misclicked too and sent a takeback, but he refused. I was sooo shocked and mad and lost the game, horrible. This is I would say the only case where it is ok to expect from your opponent the same favour - it's clearly double standards from my opponent, what an immature asshole, where do they come from).
