[@PavlosPapageorgiou]

[@PastorMirchev]

Congratulations to Nurgyul Salimova and to the whole Bulgarian team! Поздрави за успеха!

[@milencenov6421]

If Levy commented this game, he would have needed surgery on his vocal cords... "The QUEEEEEEEN !" "The ROOOOOOOK !" Agadmator recently showed games of Nurgyul Salimova who finished 2nd at the World Cup, and he also showed a game of Beloslava Krasteva who lost the youth world title in the last round and ended 3rd. Well, both Salimova and Krasteva were in the team of Bulgaria at this European championship. And on 1st board, we had Antoaneta Stefanova, a former world champion. With such a "dream team", the 1st place was finally an achievable goal.

[@tarico4436]

Levys jeans are awesome; have been a fan for decades of their products. However, Levi the chess commentator is a bit too proud for my liking. I grew tired of his channel very quickly.

[@AbirZenith]

Why do you have to hate on Levy to praise Agadmator? Such a weird way to approach this whole situation, Gotham appeals to a younger, wider audience, Agadmator has his own serious fanbase.

[@milencenov6421]

​@@AbirZenithBS. I don't hate Levy. I just made a joke on his emotional emphasis when he makes a sacrifice. There is no hate involved.

[@Filzon-h9t]

@@AbirZenith How on earth could "he is a bit too proud for my liking" be considered hate? He just expressed a personal opinion in a frankly absurdly polite manner for an anonymous youtube commenter.

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Understand the winning tactics here. Offering a sac to clear a piece out of the way. Then forcing another sac to put a piece IN the way, in order to constrain the king into a mating web. Absolutely amazing!

[@NghiaTuanLe]

thank you

[@tonynussbaum]

That is probably the sickest sacrifice to checkmate combo I've ever seen. Bravo, ladies!

I wonder if Oliwia took the queen if Nurgyul would've won a Morphy Head - To see that checkmate with a Queen and Rook sac is like-superhuman

[@88mphDrBrown]

It's even more superhuman that Oliwia saw it too and didn't accept. Nurgyul is a terrifying opponent.

Masterpiece of a game that was! Congratulations to Nurgyul and the Bulgaria chess team! I wish them many more achievements in the future.

[@nathynorthy6916]

Offering that Queen sacrifice must be brilliancy of the year - in both the men's and women's games. I was literally stunned by it and still am while writing this.

[@pot_kivach160]

It's not offering. It's forcing to take! Black has no other choices.

[@okok-ht4lu]

i m a simple man.. Antonio clickbaits and i fall for it

[@matthewedwards9423]

Just to nitpick, at 12:20 if black plays BxQ, then the rook sac on d6 is to deflect the queen from the pin on the knight, not just to deprive the king of the d6 square. The rook already stops Kd6, the problem is that you can't play Ng4+ while the queen pins the knight. Of course it's critical that the queen does stop Kd6 after the rook is given up, but unpinning the knight is also critical. If the king were on h1, the rook sac would be flashy but unnecessary.

[@MN-dq1ug]

huge fan of Nurgyul. she is one of my favourite players

[@saryjou2793]

So she saced her queen so she can sac the rook to make the escaping square of enemy's king occupied by it's own queen! I'm speechless!! This pretty face hides a killer inside😢

[@KD555]

Impressive combination. Note: Black is not a pawn down at the 2:48 variation.

[@Aemothkas]

Nurgyul is such a fantastic attacking player. What a beauty as well.

I see what you're doing here :D Jokes aside, Salimova's been in top form in the last few months. I'd like to see her in the open section. I'm sure she'd do great.

[@JoroIO]

By the way, at the beginning of the year, she almost won the Bulgarian Chess Championship. I think she lost only to GM Kiril Georgiev.

[@Minerva6699]

[@jptothetree]

I can't imagine why 😆🔥

[@Holzschieber]

Incredible combination! The queen and rook sacrifice also de-pins the knight, which enables the combination. I saw that de-pinning the knight might be important, but I couldn't find the winning line.

[@daviddurbin7682]

Wow. Absolutely amazing

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Beautiful !!!

[@Andrew-21]

@8:54 what happens if you take the white rook to capture the black knight, the resulting capture fest could lead to the black queen being lost as the dark square bishop will give a check to the black king and if the queen defends then its check mate and if not black loses the queen

[@nadszzify]

Suddenly I love chess from the thumbnail 😂

[@x0cx102]

Good to see most comments here discussing the great chess being played and the sacrifice. However the top comment currently is apparently shameless. It says a lot about men who see a female chess player and the main thing they focus on is her looks. Not a female chess player but I can sympathize with women who deal with that, when your chess is just being largely ignored by these people.

[@peterpetrov6522]

Fantastic tactics by Salimova! Somehow I got a feeling that she decided to give up the e pawn, and only then she had to see why it works. It will untangle every time!

[@aaronsung6208]

12:23 Agad got it wrong here, the rook sarc isn't to control d6 because the rook already controls it, but to draw away to queen with tempo who pin the knight, so the knight can go in for checkmate.

[@hiddencuber2250]

The title and thumbnail combination is sassy😜

[@elakstein]

I as an amateur find it very difficult, why sometimes black doesn't castle as deliberately goes into a losing position. 3:22 for e.g. here, white has castled and enjoying good position from opening and can focus on attack while Black is deliberately in worse position or atleast a position that seems much difficult to play compared to white. Can any experienced player shed some light on this.

[@matthewclark7955]

That thumbnail is lethal

[@gayatrins7818]

15:58 it's not just to prevent King from escaping, but also to free up the knight on f2 from the pin by the queen.
