1:26 - He is probably Persian which is live in Turkey cause in Turkish written like "Kazım" (used to be Kâzım). Here's little unnecessary info : Kazem (also spelled Kadim, Kadhem, Kadhim, Kazim, Qazim or Cathum; written in Arabic: كاظم, in Persian: کاظِم) means "tolerant", "forgiving", and "having patience" is an Arabic male given name. And he forgive his opponent by giving all queens back to Daniel.

[@vinodrao572]

I wonder if someone is able to check on a database if this is the record most number of points of materials captured by a single piece.

[@QSC0P3]

Well I got interested by this and I gave it a shot. It works, but processing a large number of games takes wayyy too long so I had to put some limits in place. For example, in this attempt I ran through all games on Lichess from june 2016 (n=6136419). I then applied a few filters to greatly reduce that number, which included only looking for up to 900 elo rated players (as these things probably don't happen to more advanced players) and only check in rated games (as that's even funnier) and for games that did not end in a draw (because besides stalemate why should they if you totally obliterate your opponent with a single piece). That reduced the number to a way more manageable number, which I then ran through a script that keeps track of the points of material captured by every single piece during that game. For the month June 2016, within the limits I described above, that led to the following winner: lichess.org/vP5DrTc2 with 18 points with a white rook! (Keep track of the rook starting on the A1 square, it goes pretty ham eventually haha).
