Ivanchuk's God Move

[@LeventK]

Throwing a brilliant game is surely a knightmare for Ivanchuk.

[@mannangupta3643]

he threw a game against anand, like literally missed around 4 mate in 1s

[@mubaraksenju7521]

He's been doing this since 1990s. Thug life ivanchuk

[@monomushi]

ivanchuk be like :that's one good move i played there..that's enough, time to go sleep faster

[@nicbentulan]

@@monomushi for people who aren't chess pro's, i think playing incredible moves makes up for ultimately throwing a game like at least you did something.

[@nicbentulan]

@Keith Alfred Anthony Donovan I know but I thought it was like metaphorical? You metaphorically throw in the sense that you lose so bad that it's AS IF you literally threw? Or throwing can be used only literally?

[@paragonthemortalddosurvivo6788]

Whenever I see Ivanchuk play, I can not help but cheer for him! Ivanchuk always has such beautiful style and his games are amazing.

[@carlo_cali]

One thing that is pretty much agreed or at least at one time was that when Chucky is in top form he is unstoppable. Sadly he can be erratic, but some of his good games are just astonishing.

[@isophancy5605]

Incredibly relatable to lose a winning endgame after outplaying your opponent for the rest of the game. All of us have definitely felt this pain.

[@neeru7298]

I always find myself rooting for Ivanchuk

[@Aurongroove]

I’ve been watching this channel for a few years now. That knight sacrifice is THE most beautiful and outrageous move I’ve ever seen.

[@FarraG_GG]

I'm literally at work waiting for you to post a video Agad. Your videos are what keep me going. Huge love and respect for the amazing content.

[@Viktor12953]

I could watch Ivanchuks games all the time! But for now, congratulations to Jorden for his resistance and turning the game to his favor. Winning against such an incredible opponent must be a unique feeling.

[@dash_r_media]

This endgame reminded me of the notorious 17th match game between Korchnoi and Karpov from 1978, where Korchnoi was a pawn up going into the endgame, but Karpov's knights plus Korchnoi's time trouble turned a winning endgame for Korchnoi to a checkmate for Karpov. In both this game and the Karpov game, black defended very strongly to turn the tables.

[@hcgreier6037]

Nice qoute: "That's chess for you. We love it for that and we hate it for that. We love it when it doesn't happen to us, but we love it when it happens to our opponents!" Well said, sir 👍

[@alexamiot]

[@faultier3215]

oh boy, this would have been like the tenth Ivanchuk immortal if it worked out. such an entertaining player

[@EnRaiter14]

Vasyl plays like he has Magnus and I on his shoulders whispering suggestions to him. STOP LISTENING TO ME CHUCK!

[@markthompson2796]

One of the best games I have ever followed. Thank you so much!

[@vivekjoshi5207]

Vasyl played with monsters as his pieces... and wrecked havoc on board...but black's grit just was fascinating..what a game by these two..!

[@guyami8892]

15:30 It sounds so weird when someone says that instead of saying "Not once, not twice, but thrice".

[@andresarenas6137]

Adgamator..... English is my second language as well......your English is beautiful!!!!!... I don't need CC. My contribution: Americans often get confused between "complicated" and "complex".... what you really wanted to say approximately at 4.55 or less is COMPLEX ..not complicated. In order to use COMPLICATED you must use IT GETS COMPLICATED, not IT'S COMPLICATED. See the difference? I think you do. I am so happy you have this channel. I thank God you are here!! It gives me so much education and entertainment from a game I love so much!!!! Thank you, Antonio...you have taught me so much .......you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, great game by Jorden here! Awesome stuff! Thanks.

[@Macwoa]

hi, awesome content :) novice at chess and learning everyday.... a question: 7:25 why cant Jorden take bishop on a3 with bish from d6 instead of moving the Q ?

[@yashsahu3525]

Bishop A3, Rook c7 Bishop C1, Rook c8 Queen C8, Bishop c8 😬

[@Macwoa]

[@seandoc-chesschamp]

Chucky is my favourite player by far! That win in Linares in 1991 with an all star line up, crushing Kasparov in his prime and even years later smashing Carlsen in his prime. Living legend and will always be my favourite player. Greatest player to never become World Champion

[@kmunson007]

Fantastic video as always. Thanks.

[@1990gollum]

The only thing greater than the joy of seeing Ivanchuk's genius is the pain of watching him blundering the game.

[@rohitsheoran8550]

Im a simple human, i see ivanchuks name in video I click within split seconds

[@davedavidson4762]

[@usmanmajeed5229]

This game just made me sad. How a completely winning game turned to a devastating L just because Ivanchuk has started to lose it because of age.

[@timanderson6005]

Yes. His brain ran out of juice. We must be sure to remember his genius. His immortal v Kasparov is thankfully timeless. Love you Vasil.

[@padmakumarke2063]

It would have been an incredible stuff had Vasily won that game.Great intuition and great defensive work.

[@Gilmoy]

8:46 26.Nd7 Rexd7 27.Bxd6 is a interference, far rarer than a Novotný interference. (Wow, a live Plachutta captured OTB in the wild!) A Plachutta requires two line-movers of the same type, and two sacs to lure + deflect one of them. Here, the two lines of defense are (1) Qd8 protects Bd6, and (2) Re7 protects Rc7, while also Rc7 is pinned to White's Rc8 threat. White surely calculated that 27..Rxc2 29.Rc8 pins his Q, but accepted this line as the least-costly solution: Q(+RB) for RN(+RB), almost equal and worth fighting out. 26..Rcxd7 27.Bxd6 is worse, down at least an exchange whether the Rd7 moves or stays.

[@carlkligerman1981]

What a game! First time I didn’t even check what Medo thought of the game. Have to rewatch to see if the greatest canine mind in the chess world was even present for this one! (Edit: scandalous! Smelling the roses!)

[@remingtoncomp4873]

At 7:05, why is the bishop not able to be captured on a3 It seems to me like that bishop just hangs there

[@ellantblideschaft3762]

Because the two black rooks would be hanging maybe?

[@brodyr.5540]

what a god tier move followed by devil tier blunders... still a gift to the chess gods. Chucky da 🐐

[@737215]

7:06 Can anybody explain to me how hanging the bishop on A3 isn't a blunder, punished with an immediate capture with an attack on the Rook?

[@yashsahu3525]

Rook c7,c8 will pin the queen and rook will still be guarded by bishop at h3😃

[@yashsahu3525]

It will be rook and bishop for queen + pawn at A6

Are you a STUPID beginner who just takes pieces and then looses the queen or gets mated?

Way to fight back Jorden!! Like this is freaking amazing!

[@salahaddin1890]

Just a quick questions. Can black bishop not take white at 7:06?? Then if rook takes, you can take back the his other rook on the 1st rank. Then you will literally win a piece??

This removes the defender of both rooks, so you'd be down the exchange due to the RxC7.

[@salahaddin1890]

@@karmaic8282 but then you take his rook on RXC1?

You can then take the bishop with your queen and win a bishop. You can also just move the rook out of the way as white.

Many time in chess it happens that when your opponent blunder the queen, he or she starts playing fearlessly and you play over carefully which ends in you loosing the game.
