[@siddhantjhaveri]

This has to be the most tactically brilliant game of the year. Rook sacrifice, Queen sacrifice and Knight sacrifice to take the enemy king on a walk and checkmate it in the centre of the board... The plan of Rxe4 to open up the diagonal for the bishop so that Bc4 check is possible... The queen sac to get the enemy king into the open supported by the deadly bishop pair... And even the whole game after that: a knight sac (also another rook gambit) and finally trapping his opponent's queen. it's just brilliant!

[@raylopez99]

If So wasn't so honest and so strong, they'd have taken out the metal detectors after that forking move.

[@BareFootOnTheMetal]

That rook sacrifice has to be "the move" of this Olympiad.

[@decreasing_entropy3003]

Let the piece sacrifice ritual begin!

[@holyspirit4895]

When I first saw this LIVE, I was like, "Holy shit. That was crazy." I had a same reaction to the game when Magnus Carlsen sacrificed his queen against Anish Giri earlier this year. But this game with Wesly So was much more crazier.

[@chris_2208]

Indeed

[@piyushjha757]

It was in this position that agadmator gets a new room

[@hannicutie0.0]

Agadmator without hat: “Hello everyone and welcome to …” AgHATmator: “Hola everyone and bienvenidos to another game…”

You are a genius.

[@P.sherman45]

😂😂 I was looking for this comment and "It was in this position that we have a completely new hat"

[@atannen]

[@daansmit7832]

I actually scrolled back to the beginning of the video to check if he actually said this. I’m disappointed

[@samgreer8596]

To see that in any game would be phenomenal, but to hit it during the Olympiad must have put So in a state of grace. Players play their entire life without a game half this brilliant. Damn.

[@kaldrazadrim]

Wesley needs a Morphy head for this one!

[@P.sherman45]

Yeah I was waiting for the morphy head

[@johnfogarty1647]

Maybe agadmator can edit the video to give him one. It is more deserved here than any other game I've seen played for a long while.

[@reaganabroad4952]

It’s been long since we’ve seen a Morphy hat

[@woodysmith2681]

Finding a Rook-sacrifice like that Over-the-Board is amazing but props to Melkumyam for seeing the result from a weird and random sacrifice once it happens.

[@bhaskarchakrabarty2420]

Wesley was possessed by the sprit of Tal as otherwise this kind of magic is seldom seen nowadays

[@joeysalupen7863]

Best chess game of the decade. Tripple sacrifice to check mate. What a brilliant plan, so precise and calculated with mathematical exactitude.

[@kb5019]

What Wesley did here is what Fischer and Tal would do back in their days. Pure brilliant chess. Gotta appreciate it 😀🙂

[@tommiddleton6671]

Best win I've seen in a while. Showed true brilliance and natural talent.

[@jackf3619]

No clue how he even saw this sac. Truly outstanding!!! Such an amazing game. Props to Wesley So!!

[@primeobjective5469]

6:00 - The King fought for his life, taking out the Queen & Knight, but left himself exposed in the end where he was assassinated by both Bishops.

[@swtshree25]

5:50 Light squared bishop 'd5 check' assassinating the king, Even Rook "e3" is checkmate!

[@amoldivo]

Both bishops had sinned...

[@saurabhkadam222]

Agdamtor's 🎩Cap🎩 look 😎🔥!!

[@pr3ttyb0yfl4cko]

Bro, Wesley So is carrying Team USA. He's playing like a monster! Crazy game on this one, series of sacrifices if the rook sac was accepted and a brutal, crushing checkmate. 😱

[@rahulasthana8383]

What a beautiful game to start the Friday with. Thank you Wesley.

[@orionspur]

Omg... That was 3000 level play by Wesley.

[@NONO-hz4vo]

Possibly, though it didn't fool stockfish. I wanted to see the evaluations on this masterpiece and stockfish knew right away to pull the bishop back. Crazy how good engines are.

[@johncerminaro4549]

Yes, GM So is the uncrowned world chess champion now. A prodigious sacrifice! And Tal is smiling... Bravo Wesley!

[@Aevitech]

Well he is the crowned Fischer Random champion and he did it by beating the reigning Classical chess champion...

[@tatsuyasigh1906]

What a move. If only the rook sac was accepted, we might have another ever green game. Also, Wesley keep beating ppl in under 30 moves and taking pressure off his underperforming teammates

[@just_otaku_fans9289]

Not all heroes wear cap 'But this hero does'

[@ThePinoyMamba]

Wesley So is my favorite contemporary player of all-time. Game of the year for sure

[@marcjohn9404]

I saw Qxf7 kxf7, bc4+ kf6, nxe4+ when you asked us to see if we could find it and I think I could calculate to mate if and get this right if I was given it in a tactics puzzle, but what makes this so impressive is that Wesley probably saw this so much further in advance and I would never have even thought to allow the fork, although sacrificing the rook did look good to me because of how strong the bishop and knight are in that situation. He also probably saw all of the variations if black tries to complicate, and that's why he's a 2700+ super GM, former member of the 2800 club. So good!

[@noahsolomon538]

what's even crazier is that the computer thinks Bh6 is a blunder because black simply never plays e5, goes Bf8 and then it claims white has nothing. I wonder if magnus was playing black, if he could've found that

[@espelhogamer]

It's games like this that makes us feel how much of an art chess is. What an amazing game.

[@sudarshanachakra3.022]

Melkamyan saw that incredible line . Just imagine his surprise

[@X00000370]

A "throwback" to some of the old-style great checkmates played by Wesley "Morphy" So.

[@danporter2345]

This was a truly beautiful game. Thank you for featuring it

[@jeanmenard3060]

wow ! One of the most beautiful chess game i've ever seen ! This is a masterpiece ! Bravo Wesley So ! 🙂👍

[@mathisthewaycorner]

Thanks for the video. The joy that I saw when you gave the explanation of the sacrifice made me smile.

[@gladiatorgaming5582]

Wow. To see this forced checkmate from that position was insane. What an amazing game by Wesley!

I love the slow mo replays. Such amazing plays in this match.

[@nocabgamedesign4832]

Love your videos. I always learn something new when I watch.

[@zanti209]

Awesome game. Excellent coverage. Many thanks!

[@yanki1224]

i was gonna replay back to the moment Wesley could have sacked the game but Agad made a recap and then i was satisfied. Yes, it was an awesome set of moves.

So cool that Jason Mraz started making chess videos

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

[@tom90s59]

Yup

[@doncar9]

Rd5!! wasn't explained , but Bg6 wins . An amazing game by Wesley

[@DarkSideChess]

I don't understand why black can't play Qxd5 in that position...

[@wertfasd]

@@DarkSideChess bxg6 and black is close to being checkmated.

[@crisescalona507]

Coz ifQxd5 is played...Bd3 x Kg6 is coming

[@cioh6168]

Not to mention he said rook but pointed at bishop..

[@pedangkub5382]

If Qxd5, White would play Bxg6 ,then there are so many way white can checkmate with Qg7, like if black play h7xg6 ,then Qxg6 (check),then Kh8 ,then Qg7 checkmate.

[@amdb2035]

5:16 the slow motion got me 😂

[@eclipseeffigy]

@@micahbarbee8636 that's most brilliancies homie

[@micahbarbee8636]

@@bricehatcher8391 , Most, unless you're referring to any game in the like of Bobby Fischer vs Donald Bryne, I disagree with you. This wasn't anywhere near that level of expertise.

[@bricehatcher8391]

@@micahbarbee8636 your argument makes no sense. If the defending side plays perfect the whole game there is no brilliancy to win. It's just a draw. So every brilliancy is either itself a bad move that was played on purpose and not exploited, or the losing side has already blundered giving the opportunity for a winning brilliancy.

[@barun9665]

That hat suits you a lot . 7:03 . Sir please explain why rook can't be captured

[@Guiidenker]

I'm curious too

[@neelbetigeri7671]

Because then the white light-squared bishop takes the knight on G7, either leading to checkmate if captured back or a discovered check on the next turn, winning material.

[@Guiidenker]

@@neelbetigeri7671 Thank you. I didn't see that.

Now I’m convinced, chess is the most beautiful game!

[@murphyorama]

Cracking game very well explained. Thanks

[@dev77799]

Wesley So is the only one I feel surpass Magnus on multiple occasions. I'm sure Magnus has to do double homework whenever he is against So. Looking forward them playing against each other.

[@itachi60001]

i found the move but its actually incredible to even begin to calculate that from a position that looks so tame, outstanding play by wesley.

[@raylopez99]

You can find the move if you have a hint. The hint to the opponent was So would not allow a fork unless he looked like he blundered, so black had to calculate and find indeed the forking move wins for white.

Absolutely Fischeresque, beautiful.
