And he took 2 min to capture the rook and blunder… the commentators were jokingly saying while he was thinking « imagine if he takes the rook, no impossible haha » (heard this on another channel)

[@ckq]

This is why we need better ways to measure how dynamic positions and therefore games are. This 9 move game had more action than most 90 move games

3:13 -- in case anyone's wondering, the *CORRECT move for Black* in this position was... *Nxc6* . Had Firouzja played that, game would have been almost equal. Instead, he blunders HORRIBLY with the taking of the corner Rook... .

[@Richard_Stroker]

Nxc6 is the best move, but still bad for black. Fabi would have likely won anyway, but not nearly as quickly.

[@tomasbrotanek2839]

okey i found the game... European Individual Chess Championship 2023, Hotel Zepter, Vrnjacka Banja Nijat Azad Oglu Abasov vs Sabino Brunello

[@Phymacss]

Yeah it was abasov game

[@MohammadImtiaz1]

Nijat abasov

[@psircos]

Very cool game. You have to wonder if this was previously thought through, or if it was simply opportunistic. Both are possible, as it was a GM game. I had a similar situation yesterday (im my lowly 1149 elo). Got my KN is a good position, threatening a King/Rook fork. His Q was guarding the pawn at point of fork. Not only did he not see it, he moved the queen to a square where i could now fork the king and Queen! Bet he'll pay more attention next time

[@arrigo7476]

Yeah it's actually a well known trap, just check Nijat Abasov vs Sabino Brunello, where Brunello didn't fall for it

[@Zlatko-n1l]

Maybe he will 😂😂😂! Well played!

[@timm439]

Alireza also spent 25% of his total game time (2.5 mins) on the Bxh1 move!

[@christopherheckman7957]

That's why this game looks wrong. Nelson spent one minute explaining to us what the move was, and grandmasters can think faster than Nelson can talk! It has the look of an agreed-upon game.

[@pgress1867]

cool… what happens if black takes the pawn on c6 instead of the rook?

[@PhoenixayNe]

Then you just go on and take the rook and then another rook which is trapped A grandmaster is not bottling a winning position

[@pgress1867]

When Black does take the pawn on c6 with his Knight two of White‘s pieces are hanging. Rook on h1 and Knight on e5. The game goes on but White can only save one of his pieces. Black doesn’t loose but gains an advantage.

[@pgress1867]

@@PhoenixayNeAfter loosing the pawn on c6, White can block the attack on h1 with pawn to f3. However, then Black is down a pawn and Stockfish‘s analysis is very much in favor of White. From a human perspective it isn’t that obvious to me.

[@ShadowGaming-ie2nt]

But then if blacks pawn takes c6 pawn white takes blacks rook and that disables the blacks horsey form moving bcz it will be check then whit can take the black pawn on c6 and even if the pawn moves he will be in a position where he checks the king and they lose

[@THEarrasBuddhist]

Damn...This is not everyone thinking

Can someone explain why the first brilliant move is brilliant? Can’t black just take the pawn with the pawn on b7?

Yes, it is possible. But then Black will be left with one pawn less and with no compensation, which is a big deal for players of this level.

@@zanti4132your sort of wrong. A super gm has fell for this exact trap in a classical game aswell.

[@WaffleKnight1]

They didn't fall for it. They resigned after White took the pawn on a7. The moves before that were natural.

[@mango7753]

@@AaronJames53 you are also sourt of wrong. First, it wasn't a super GM who fell for it, it was a 2024-candidate Abasov as the white pieces versus an Italian GM (forgot the name) with the black pieces. The Italian GM "almost fell of the trap", but he noticed it after 20 minutes in a classical game, so he had to accept being down a pawn and eventually lost the game. The trap didn't necessarily work because that GM had 90 minutes to think, but they fell for the beginning of the trap after black played Be4. I was actually so shocked because I would have thought Alireza had analyzed Abasov's games for the candidates, or it turns out he just forgot about this one line.

Its a rapid and he spend 2.5 minute to take that rook. Thats 25% of the time.
