How to Attack the Castled King: Karjakin vs Malinin 2002

[@MusicalB0y]

"white offers draw" epic!

[@adithyab7716]

😂😂😂

[@suli5109]

i know this was written 5 years ago but this is funny LMAOOO

[@thokozanisitwayo7696]

He realy got me there, lol

[@malonchirara813]

Black would definitely reject the draw offer in such a splendid position

[@segi450]

Really? I'd take it right away...

[@Jan_ne]

Black would win. It is not allowed to offer a draw in an obviously winning position

[@boat6float]

_theJonz_ is that an actual rule? I thought an offer of draw can be made at any time

[@xmaxfactorx]

"And white would offer a draw... just kidding checkmate" hahahhahaha

[@tarico4436]

That's one thing you never hear these chess teachers do: say blatant crazy jokes like that. WTG Mato!!!

[@Jan_ne]

By offering a draw in that position, you would actually officially lose the match

[@Gaiacarra]

why?

[@josuealejandro4961]

I see you everywhere

[@sandeepkandwal8241]

this joke always works.. :)

[@InTecknicolour]

The Gentleman's rule of chess: when you have a mate in 1, offer a draw.

[@adamjames8501]

In every game there'd be a draw by that rule though. Every checkmate eventually becomes a 1 move checkmate.

[@6k546]

You can resign

[@zarinjanis]

The Gentleman's rule #2 of chess: refuse to draw if you can be mated in 1.

[@joebarniak]

I had a guy catch me off guard two days ago. As a gentleman, he offered a draw because he said that he felt he didn't deserve the win.

[@zarinjanis]

Joe Allen Barniak Did you deserve a draw though?

[@LaPoubelle42]

You got all the jokes, mato xD you really got me with that last one

[@TheDeathstriker123]

Ford LaBoube whoa, your last name is laboob?? It's pronounced differently I'm assuming

[@techspot883]

man your videos are great....how do u come up with so much of emotions!!!!!!!!!!!really great!!

[@MatoJelic]

I just speak the words that come to my mind. It feels qite normal for me.

[@davincerica7232]

+MatoJelic presmijesan si s tim škart engleskim :D super videi :)

[@NYCBG]

+Ludi DaVinci Upravo je u tome draž njegovih komentara! Niko ne izgovara "killa move" kao Mato.

[@davincerica7232]

Ne mogu se složit više!

[@joneslukas]

I like your way to show the games, letting people guess the moves, joking from time to time, quick and well explained. I used to play long time ago and you are making me playing chess again. thank you Mato.

[@TheHungdo]

I feel that Mato should have much more subscribers that he currently does. I've watch commentators from other channels and they just seemed too long winded and not to the point. Mato's videos seems to be just right. Analyzing different variations at the most crucial points of the game and I love it when he says, " we have reached the critical position of the game"

[@imtiaztariq4155]

I've seen many other commentators on KZbin but Mato you are the best really love your videos thanks for your efforts

[@MNaz-yy8bn]

Mato at your service!

[@najamkhan4730]

Mato, your chess videos are the best on Internet.

[@cazorla82]

White would offer a draw... Rofl!!

[@wasabuful]

White would offer a draw if he is playing against his boss :)

[@Voider74KS]

Your accent is probably the best one for lecturing chess. Makes it more exciting in a way, and builds up the suspense. And in mixture with the actual content of the video it makes up for a very good cake to eat (for your brain of course)

[@peterpanthauer4224]

Love your depth, playfulness and sense of drama. Particularly exciting choice. Thank you.

[@fantikrus]

Mato, i loved the break in your serious voice on 6:24 :))) So untypical for your videos! Great job, as well as others!

[@mrpossibilities]

Your chuckle at the end was the cherry on top of this video.

[@limegreenelevator]

Karjakin was 12 years old when he played this game. Incredible.

[@tehlolzfactor]

"And then... white would offer a draw" that one made me laugh quite a bit

[@joshofsteel4650]

you have the funniest and the best chess commentaries ever!...am glad i subscribed..

[@adityakulkarni976]

+MatoJelic can you make more videos of a player winning with Black pieces? Great work with all the videos !!

[@MatoJelic]

I can, but can you find it?

[@adityakulkarni976]

I tried finding but I noticed most of the videos, especially Fisher with White pieces. I would also like to see how he played with black. Thank again!!

[@thomaseads1236]

awesome video. I laughed at the part at the end, "and white offered a draw"!!! You do great insightful commentary! thank you!

[@dondefact3541]

I liked it so much I watched twice. I also enjoy your commentary and try to figure the next best moves. Good fun. Thank you.

[@gduri]

bravo mato! volim vas glas i vas akzenat. bas simpaticno! ne da govorim o vasem uskustvo za sah. bravo i hvala!

[@predraglacmanovic7853]

Brilliant attack and brilliant opservation. Thank you Mato. P.

[@MrFaizel92]

A draw! LOL Mato you are hilarious!!!

[@influenciaindebida]

First-time comment publisher on KZbin. Your joke moved me so. Hilarious. Your videos are very cool. Thanks.

[@hulkhan8338]

Mato, these jokes come as a funny surprise! ;p love your videos!

[@locutusdborg126]

Very strong aggressive play. Thanks, Mato.

[@KnighteyKnight]

I saw a double sac, but based it only on the craziness of your videos. How do you know when to spend time calculating past a double sac in a real game? It just didn't feel like he had enough pieces to mate after that.

[@bbobcik]

Very good work, Mato! Many thanks for you effort. Funny observation: I have accidentally clicked "Transcript" icon (under view statistics) and it made my day.

[@Strakeize]

Keep them coming Mato best chess game reviews out there by far

[@danno1800]

Another outstanding, instructive chess game! Thank you, Mato

[@imtiaztariq4155]

Finally something close to Tal, Mato please make more videos on Tal I have watched them over and again and the list is exhausted

[@AotO_DJ]

This guy should voice act, seriously thrilled by his voice!

[@mrqu0n2]

Mato you are some great guy! Keep these videos coming, love them!

[@giniyatgabdrakhim6363]

Draw joke was really funny , because it I did not expect that )

[@golux-57]

Mato's, you had me cracking up with your "offer a draw" :-D I'm also laughing at the names of the players, Malignin' and Carjackin' :)

[@AkshaySinghJamwal]

Love your chess videos Mato!

[@HornedDemoN]

LOL "White would offer a draw"

[@ayyashC]

Awesome stuff man :D right to the point and really amusing, thanks a lot for your efforts

[@mandurahchess]

I heard about a kid at the junior championships, tormenting opponent be capturing everything and collecting queens. "Like a draw?" he teased. "Yeah!" Head nods up and down. "Well you can't have one!" "Game drawn," observed an observant arbiter.

[@gandalfheng]

Another great tutorial Mato. Thanks for posting.

[@richarddickinson3854]

Hi Mato- Thanks for your video of this Scotch Steinitz variation. It is a truly awesome game by Karjakin (how old was he when he played this? 13,14,15?). This is a seminal game not only in attacking the castled king but also in playing against Qh4 Steinitz Scotch.There are other lines in the Scotch Steinitz and while it looks good for White he better beware of traps like this! Noone ever risked playing this Steinitz variation against the modern master of the Scotch, Gary Kasparov. Again thanks for your video analysis of one of my all time favourite games (I like playing the Scotch!). Best wishes :-)

[@dominigai4717]

You got me with the white to draw joke lol

[@thedaveastator7939]

Your jokes are the best.

[@ODA-392]

Karjakin well and deeply understood that his 2 Officer's sacrifice was just in time hence Black's Rook & Bishop were out of active counterplay. Outstanding attack and primed for the history books. Ayye.

[@giancarloabuyabor3714]

Thank you master Mato! ☺

[@semiawesomatic6064]

your voice is so entertaining. if this video werent so old i would sub

[@parya6561]

hi man ur videos are great ..just one question where to begin learning chess from? i mean any book or online ...and from where!!!

[@edgetransit3320]

LMFAOOO when you said offer a draw, i was really looking for how it was a draw lol. This is amazing.

[@danieluisph]

This is why I like Mato ^.^ Really love his jokes.

[@rickmiller5019]

I love your videos! You're one of the best Mato!

[@betulaobscura]

Brilliant game and commentary!

[@richardfeynman5560]

Very instructive game, great video!

[@papersoldier7]

We love the videos Mr. Mato u freakin ROCK!! THUMBS UPS i made the 500th like

[@klaushimmler6896]

Mato, this is just wonderful !!!!!

[@seanmcclure]

Great example here. Very instructive.

[@MarcKlark]

THANK YOU for this video on the unstoppable attack

[@zimcoder]

insightful, im definitely going to use this strategy

[@9uk]

Another quality video Mato thank you

[@neilsinhababu9496]

I wonder how far ahead Karjakin could see when he sacrificed his knight and bishop to draw out the king. It reminds me of some of the Tal games Mato has shown us.

[@vinitkhatavkar5376]

at 5:33 why not bishop to e2 queen lost!!!!!!!!

[@thurairaj8069]

Good point.

[@jonahklein1311]

+Vineet Shilpa because white saw that he had checkmate in few moves and did not want to waste time on queen

[@vinitkhatavkar5376]

Jonah Klein if the queen was lost at that time then for checkmate 2 moves would have been reduced, but i also agree with yu because these GM's like to play in such complications.

[@joshuareturns9907]

+Vineet Shilpa I would not like to play a GM, down that much material and with less chances at mating threats. The threat of mate is far more powerful and pinning the queen allows for other options. rf6 was best.

[@joshuareturns9907]

+Vineet Shilpa My question is why did black castle? That's what led to the loss.

[@JamesSnapp]

Malinin was persistent but doomed. A very good game with instructive points.

[@quantummath]

AMAZING game, smart sacrifice!

[@anjobee5798]

Gotta love those side quotes! "and white would offer a draw" it got me so hard! HAHAHA

[@HenryEvan]

why? What's so funny about it? i do not get it

[@ognjensobajic5076]

Mato, you rock! Good explanation!

[@KeeganIdler]

Does white bishop to e2 at 5:32 work? It seems the straightforward move. Perhaps you don't get the fancy mate, but I can't see anything to do against it.

[@m0skit0]

Keegan Idler Checkmate >>> Winning Queen

[@erykhim]

+m0skit0zindahouse Winning queen --> easier checkmate so you aren't dangered by queen mate.

[@m0skit0]

Cheetahir Dude, what danger? There's no game after checkmate.

[@hervelimousy5528]

Rf6 bring mate in 8 forced, not Be2

[@janeadams8355]

Mato, thank you for your videos.

[@Yolo-qr3ed]

Pertaining to 5:13 bishop to e2 queen pin and trade up - - White loses his offensive white square bishop for a queen that is forced to be defensive because of the isolated black king. The black queen would be replaced by the black bishop and eventually the black rook as white has to move his rook out to re-create that pressure. White has to use his tempo and bully black into an even more awful position before he snatches the queen. I also forget to mention that black can also bring his knight to E5, but I'm not sure that would do as much good. In short, there's no point trading when you have a positional advantage if it doesn't give you good things, and whether or not something is good is best decided not by the individual value of a piece but the value of the overall position. Also, rooks take time to develop if they're single file. I think they're best played naturally into the game rather than forced out as that costs in tempo, though it can be really strong. See a strong move? Look for a stronger one.

[@derenkov]

oh man i love mato's videos so much

[@benjaminortiz8892]

your presentations are so enjoyable.....than you

[@AndreiShevtsov]

"And then white would offer a draw" cracked me up :-D

[@Xenon777channel]

I was watching this with the volume off, thinking about NxG7 since it would feel right to me in blitz, then he actually played NxG7 in the video and I thought wtf? I thought the next move was pawn to f4 or something, I didn't expect the bishop sacrifice. Really nice game this one I enoyed it thanks.

[@faredino]

one of the greatest attack i' ve seen in my life

[@gustavofiguera]

A chess gem by a young Karjakin..!

[@batman4784]

oooohhh.... loving it... what a lovely game... wowow

[@JPRamirez7]

thanks for sharing this game w us Mato

[@Supware]

5:46 why wasn't Be2 played one move earlier pinning queen??

[@tigerboy1966]

I didn't get ANY of the key moves right on this one! This does teach a good lesson for not very good players like me who are always trying to get ahead on material. If you look at 5:20 you see that it's not much use having more pieces if the pieces are completely passive.

[@alexhajji2480]

what a Mato ! beautiful video again

[@vedodk]

Mato car si, svaka cast!

[@Hallyboy2k12]

5:31 why doesn't white play be2 pinning the queen?

[@himanshusrivastav802]

hi mato....dont u think ...when white played pawn to d6 (at 5:15 in the video)...shouldnt white have played bishop to e2 winning the black queen?

[@spdharan]

Brutal attack

[@TheMeDaPro]

Hahaha Mato you made me laugh at the end! 😂

[@xRoyalChefx]

Karjakin is strong o.o. Thank you Mato !

[@matthewomar8381]

AND.. White would offer a draw *whispering* Just.. Kidding.. Hahahaha!! I laughed so hardd! xD

[@vaffanculo54321]

Great game by karjakin! Mato I love when you jokes!

[@KnighteyKnight]

Super fun! Thanks.

[@adithyab7716]

Most amazing game I have seen now.

[@jaysyrivera8856]

I like ur voice so much,it makes me laugh :D

[@vitalydmtrysvidler8023]

mato you are great more videos of karjakin

[@shailesh17111988]

Here is a very similar game to this on Mato's channel The King Hunt: Vukovic vs Mozetic - Banja Vrucica 1991

[@omarsamykhater]

why didnot black play Be2 to win the queen ... instead of moving rook ??!!

[@johnnybambam141]

subscribed. interesting videos

[@LeonardoPranadyar]

your jokes are gold

[@rollingnay]

Beautiful unique game

[@Bohimei]

Why not bishop to e2 at 5:35 ?

[@ashish007k]

DRAWWWWW....AAAWWWW...Sir ...U R GR8....

[@JackassJimbo]

Mato is a funny guy

[@niazsiddiqui3825]

When attacking the black queen by pushing pawn,then why not check with black bishop and also save bishop,which is supported by the black khight c6???
