8:48 Legendary Nihal Moment 😂😂 .

[@rushikeshshinde3857]

Nihal doesnt show much generally but here he is sad and angry both at a time,but the way he played 2nd day was just Phenomenal ,Come Back Stronger Nihal

[@fezan173]

Ye game hi aisi hai gussa aata hi hai jab bhi haarte hai chahe kitni baar bhi jite ho sirf ek baar harenge to 100 gussa ayega

[@Sa-So]

Am i the only one who has seen such a furious nihal for the first time! The way he keeps the pieces again! His hand and his face omg!

[@yashkulkarni1149]

No

[@StrengthArena]

Lmao the way nihal puts back the black rook at the end I thought it was gonna break 🤣🤣🦵🦵🥰😊

[@exasperatedfarrago2444]

The rook was the main culprit so..

In that last face annoyed by the distraction, I thought I saw a typical Mr. Bean expression

[@maartenols4109]

Good eye you have! :D

[@TheGrandmaster1]

Yeah man he LAUNCHED that thing INTO the board. I thought it was going to utterly shatter. Dude was about to split open with pure rage.

[@krishgupta1258]

He arranged the pieces when Parham left instantly. Small things that make him my favourite. World champion potential and already a good human being.

[@telukirIY]

Respect to Nihal, extremely composed person even in such a situation and arranged back the pieces. Awesome. Now he has great tool of being able to control emotion and do the thing hope this tool gives him some great results. Irrespective of that I salute Nihal for arranging the pieces and not leaving right away.

[@karlheinz2674]

lol how pathetic

[@tugr3]

definetely one of the most adequate commentator for any kind of sport event. loved every second

[@matesomos342]

Just watch how he still sets the pieces up at the end, even after losing like this. He is an amazing sportsman.

[@sagartripathi6742]

First time seen such emotions from Nihal. Will definitely come back stronger. Lots of love and support

[@sfrancfrancnrm8640]

Nihal not just touched the Bishop, he firmly moved the Bishop.

[@AnupVerma20]

Actually touching a piece which does not handle the check is itself illegal because in official game, you have to move the piece which you touch.

[@thetaxiucla]

@@AnupVerma20 The bishop did handle the check, just NOT very well.

[@Geleise4546]

Also he was very short of time was thinking of giving check to black king, but he completely forgot that he is also under a check

[@MKD1101]

@@AnupVerma20 the move is not complete as long as clock isn't pressed. Thus player can change the move (only if it's illegal) before pressing the clock! (I hate it too)

[@hermoss1]

With computer you can't go wrong

[@VIPBacchua]

The way he walked out, made me really sad man. It was gonna be a fighting endgame but sadly he missed that check. Hard luck champ 😔

[@chandraguptamaurya5958]

The story of illegal moves and Tata Steel chess continues

[@sarthak9645]

Felt so bad for him🥺🥺, I am a very big fan of him since long time and I was very happy on last day but this came brought me tears 😩🥺

[@oshosaini3929]

Nihal was very angry at last ....chess is brutal guys ...he is a future legend and world champion .I guarantee today .big fan nihal

[@souradipdepression]

Yap but he was so much humble that he gave away autograph to the fans as much as he could non stop after this loss

[@disguisedhell]

Thats why I left Playing chess. Unless you are a prodigy, chess just depress you all the time

I am very impressed with the commentator. He does a very good job. Reminds me of a seasoned skilled commentator describing a football game.

[@arhitsrivastava5123]

I was sitting there in the playing hall and could clearly see how he was both angry and sad about what happened, even during the prize distribution ceremony

[@josefserf1926]

Sagar not only knows his chess strategy, but he also can communicate it in real time. Very impressive.

[@rounaktahiliyani7338]

Watch it in .25x and see the mood swings of Nihal All love Nihal Stay strong 💪

[@ben10smith22]

Omg, such a nice game, Sagar's commentary made it 10x better

[@gmshadowtraders]

That's gotta sting! It's how you come back from defeat that shows a true champion! Stay strong bro!

[@whisperofunseen]

Nihal generally shows no emotions even if he loses but this shows how hungry he is to win - I'm sure that such loses will only motivate and drive him to perform better. Such hungriness to ein is definitely what makes a champion player. He has the skill and the drive. Excited for his future.

[@beastgaming-en3es]

Vidit gujrathi proud student - nihal sarin Btw he played well

[@Bharatrg1998]

I feel very sad for nihal when I saw this match he is very close to win the tournament well played nihal all the best for next tournament ❤️❤️❤️

[@nileshhinduja7765]

He is a genius watching him come back was just outstanding..... I love him !

[@OPGamer-mk3ch]

8:49 . Nihal's silly, crazy and funny smile😁😁😁😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ranjforgrade12]

😂😂😂😂

[@rachit6366]

Nihal usually plays versions of 1.b3 with white and Parham rather played kind of a reverse larsen which loses him a tempo. Pretty bold of him.

[@waschkarte3989]

That's the respect for the game I needed to see. Starting to be a fan of Sarin. I always set up the game, if I lose or win, before I leave the playing field. That's how I've been told, someone else will come after me or "clean up" by putting the pieces in the box if the night/match is over. Don't leave without at least putting your opponents pieces on the board. If he left, put all pieces on the board. He does it even though he just lost the tournament, huge respect.

[@checkanr138]

tourney was over, no need to set up the pieces as they will go into the box anyway. praham correctly put the kings in the right position on the digital board to signal he won the game. it is just a blitz tournament, i dont get it why people act like this was rude, i saw caruana yesterday not arranging the pieces as well at the olympiad and caruana is a very respectful guy. there is no rule in any chess book that says you need to arrange the pieces after a game. i also do it, but i totally get it, when people do not, especially when they are loaded with emotion or it is the last round.

[@moonearths2858]

For a moment Nihal thought Parham is resigning that's why he smiled .. Then he realised.

[@tanaylko]

What amazes me is the demanour of these players, after culmination of the match. It speaks volumes about a player who leaves without even bidding a goodbye and also, about a player who arranges the board in the aftermath.

[@checkanr138]

it is completely normal to leave the board after a game, there is no rule that you need to arrange the pieces, actually it was the last round and there is absolutely no need to arrange the pieces after the last round. his opponent places the kings so the DGT (digital board) can signal to the online transmission, that he has won the game. nihal was just angry about losing and that is why he arranged the pieces out of frustration and habit. his opponent is a 2700 elo player that did not play unfair at all and won fair and square, shook his hand after the game and it is common that you are loaded with emotion after a game and stand up.

[@Chess-ks8lk]

I love the commentary of IM Sagar Shah. Tata Steel India soon will be more prestigeous than the original Tata Steel. Much love to India from Poland.

[@anuraglamichhane1733]

No need for it to be more prestigious than Wijk an je. Classical chess will always be more prestigious. It can, however, be the prestigious Rapid and Blitz counterpart of it's classical version and all the best to that.

[@CircleofScent]

For some reason I became a Nihal fan even more. Definitely a bright future.

[@kaustubhgode7619]

Felt very sad seeing him sad at the end of the video, he played extremely well on day 2

[@joeljacob4831]

I felt the rage when he was setting up the pieces at the end

[@VARMOT123]

he had 6 1/2 /8 on the 2nd day till then . almost perfect 2nd day from nihal there

[@ajaylal3217]

At 8:50 Nihal thought he won the game, but Parham calls Arbiter

[@RB-pn6wn]

He didnt think that he won the game, he thought it would be a time penalty. But his king was in check and he touched the bishop and moved it and there was no legal move with that bishop so he lost the game. Remeber Vidit vs Nakamura game. Where vidit did an illegal move but there was possible legal move with the king so after the time penalty game continued.

[@chaitanyagoratela4694]

How is he even winning..?

[@anonblock7260]

He could still block the check with the bishop, but would lose his bishop. I think thats why he resigned

[@RB-pn6wn]

@Anon block exactly.

[@kartik180rajesh1]

@@RB-pn6wn moving the bishope between the rook and king is a legal move right?

[@Windex314]

I can only imagine the stress and pressure they're under. Whether you're playing for the world title and the game lasts 6+ hours or you're playing blitz and you have seconds to think. In both scenarios, you're expected to perform like a machine and not make a single mistake. Chess is brutal.

[@vibhormaloo7296]

8:46 this is why you're here

I guess he cried at the last..... no doubt he had this confidence of winning this game but just a simple mistake and he had to resign.. can understand how he must have felt .. anyway, a really good game played by both the players✌
