[@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

[@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 😂

[@midlifemazza]

completely missed that detail

[@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.

[@Neomatrix8]

fabulous game..he literally smothered Hans..

[@kalamarkos]

“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

[@gabrielvillanueva6187]

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

Nihal watching Hans realising the mate was nice, queen in Han’s hands leaving for handshake was cherry on top.

[@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

[@theshield21]

bro has taken queen in his hands.... 😂 8:35

[@vinzanity68]

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

[@SHUBHAMBASONE-w5q]

That killer smile ufff😂😂

[@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.

[@boblegend1803]

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

[@Chesswizards21]

Amazing Arjun
