Harry! | Jorden Van Foreest vs Anish Giri | Tata Steel Masters 2023

[@PowerPlayChess]

Here's that Kasparov-Karpov game I mentioned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpe2koSEfMmgjrs

[@warriorofice33]

at 27:17 if Kf3 and Rxd8, black doesn't win, white got Rg6+ with a draw ;)

[@michaelf8221]

This is exactly why Van Foreest was on Carlsens team the last WCC. What an inspired opening find!

[@Opferschach]

So he could steal opening ideas from Dubov and play them himself?

[@michaeloberly6129]

Very interesting game. Was fun to see Giri, one of the most notable prep/ comp prep guys, have to deal with what I assume was comp prep. To his credit, he got through it and played well, but of course, he also could have gone down in flames. As always, great job, Daniel.

[@NghiaTuanLe]

Ok bro

[@TheoreticallyNo]

The level these guys played at is amazing.

[@ShamaiOfer]

Marvellous! the game as well as the commentary. Thank you very much Daniel! A small mistake: 78. Kf3 is still a draw! 78. Kf3,RxQ 79. Rg6+ Kh4 80. Rxh6+ Kg5 with repetition. This game does not stop surprising.

[@PowerPlayChess]

As quite a few have told me already. I throw in the odd error just to make you all feel good :)

[@LateCloser]

Van Foreest, living up to the family name. A true player. Well fought. I'm hoping Nodirbek finishes this tournament off with style, winning in the last round. Although, a draw might be good enough. Ding has three losses, but I wonder if this tournament is just to shake the rust off for the upcoming WC match. Can't wait for the final coverage! Thanks.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Ding hasn’t played much and it shows. I hope he has a good team behind him for the match - he will need it.

[@davidwillacy4796]

Thanks Daniel, super game super analysis. Cheers

[@kenspencer9895]

Now THAT was entertaining! Thanks, GM King!

[@paulgreen7906]

Cry God for Harry England and St George! Brilliant game and brilliant analysis as always. PowerPlay to 100k.

[@SurfinScientist]

I see it creeping up gradually to 100k. Achieving that goal will be well-deserved for this quality channel!

[@lenz6293]

Great stuff and so well presented. From the best of the best. Thanks Daniel. Regards from Slovakia.

[@nickjackson6962]

Powerplay to 100k!!!

[@illowrenollow423]

The formation in the endgame of e4 f5 g4, Kf4 Bf3 was given the name "DeathStar", great fighting game & spirit this game!

Shoutout to Verybadpony and EffDaKing (not kidding about those names btw) who played 8.h4 in that position on Lichess - 586 million 1.d4 games played and 8.h4 was played twice. 🤣🤣😳😳👏👏

[@skakdosmer]

So Giri needs to win if he's to catch up. This reminds me of another time when that was the case, and the journalist asked Anish how he felt about this "must win situation". The Dutchman looked puzzled: "Must win??", he asked. "OHH, you're assuming I wish to win the tournament?". Much off-camera laughter was heard.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Brilliantly played by both. There was a great deal of fascinating play I. This tournament. Thanks Daniel and keep up the good work.

[@JMyepes]

One of the best chess comentators I have seen! Thank you very much!

[@eljanrimsa5843]

Topalov sacrifices the exchange: Streetfighter! Van Foreest sacrifices the exchange: Perfect play!

[@landilevanaj3499]

Smart jois with that muve , pretty nice game , thanks again Daniel for ur videos

[@shouldersofgiants4649]

Fantastic analysis, and this game was an absolute treat to watch! Mr.King, do you think such a game would have been possible before AlphaZero came into existence (prior to 2017)? I see a distinct change in style of some of the newer generation of attacking players. I recall Pragg making a similar draw vs Carlsen in an online event (Magnus even applauded him right after the game). Although we humans have understood initiative since the days of Morphy, I feel like the neural network engines have given us the confidence to play these positions in serious classical tournaments because they evaluate them as playable and our trust factor to navigate these positions and find resources have gone up a lot. I can easily see a traditional brute force engine giving a big advantage for black after the exchange sacrifice and nobody would have bothered investigating further.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Yes, players have greater confidence to play in this way since AZ. But in general, to my eyes, every successful younger generation has the confidence and ability to play boldly and to upset those who have gone before.

[@djgresearch]

@@PowerPlayChess Yes, (at the risk of showing my age and long before computers could realistically help) I remember, for example, the British chess scene in the late 70s and 80s with some swashbuckling Sicilian Dragons from the likes of Miles and Mestel, and Trompovskys from Hodgson.

[@Extirpo]

Games like this really promotes the best in chess with long time controls. Gives room for brilliancy for both the attacker *and* defender. Shorter time controls have a tendency to favour the former.

[@sandystorey5711]

At the end if black rooks takes the queen on e8 I think white can still draw with rook g6 check (white king is on f3 defending the g4 pawn), black king has to go to h4; then white rook takes h6 ch, and position repeats (black king has one square g5 and white draws with rg6 ch). That's correct I think. Great game and thanks for the analysis. Interesting to see the interface between human and machine analysis at the top level.

[@pankajkumar-vx5do]

Amazing content!

[@djgresearch]

What a fascinating game and thanks for the great commentary. I think being very well prepared theoretically, like Giri, has the downside that it narrows down your opening repertoire and allows your opponent to prepare a surprise, as seems to have happened here. I bet Jorden was v disappointed not to win but fantastic defence by Anish.

[@motornade277]

Thanks Daniel

[@staygoldpwnyboy923]

Good stuff!

[@Guitare_picking]

@27:13 after Kf3 I think black does not win because after Rxe8, white has a perpetual check with Rg6+ Rh6+. Would have been a funny draw :D

[@igorwysocki82wysocki92]

Dear Daniel, 27:15, after White's king f3, there wouldnt be anything "unfortunate" in losing a promoted queen since White would be mating Black after Rg6+ with mate next move. Anyway, just a small slip. Excellent analysis as per usual. Keep up your good work.

[@dalsenov]

It's not mate. White gives perpetual check otherwise the black king escapes to "f6".

[@danigza96]

Well no, it would be a draw after Rg6+ Kh4 Rxh6+ Kg5 Rg6+ etc

[@Chessmapling]

How would it be mate?

[@ig2d]

All this was pointed out by Daniel Naroditsky and Robert Hess online. A mating net occurs if white tries to transpose the moves of this line by playing rg6+?? before queening the pawn because in this case black can play kf4 with the unstoppable r(h)-d2++ to follow.

[@ДенисЮденков-ь5ж]

Please, review this Karpov-Kasparov games!!

[@xentothemoon]

Great game! 🇳🇱 🇳🇱 👍

[@janetoss]

So what happens at 13:07 after ...ke6?

[@hans1559]

In the end you overlooked Kf3-Rxe8 is still a draw after R.g6 and R.h6 perpetual

[@mosatsoni4324]

After black played f5, why not Kg5? if KxC5, Rb5 and after black knight moves, Ke6 forking rooks and equalizing material. White would still be left with a more active rook and better chances imho.

[@JJ-kl7eq]

I’m thinking of a sponsored sneaker line commemorating this game. Call it “Harr Jorden’s”

[@zifircin1797]

haha as soon as you said kasparov spanish win I spotted kh2. famous games of course

[@balazs8790]

In the end, after Kf3 white still holds with Rg6 Rxh6 Rg6 and so on

[@imeprezime1285]

Pity Van Foreest didn't find that beautiful combination

[@brianwoods9266]

It was better for team Netherlands for Giri to win.

[@alexmarothy8715]

Bringing Giri out of his theory

[@mcronrn]

Not gonna lie - I usually find 1.d4 games super BORING. I’m newish, so cut me some slack). But I really like the forcing nature of this game by White. 👏👏

[@peterweltweit]

21:14 still a draw..

[@radicalinquiry9623]

Im glad he has the games on youtube, but the commentary is rather brief and superficial. But as an overview its ok.

[@Luxflux777]

That little king h2 line was immaculate 👑♟
