Ivanchuk's Golden Queen Sacrifice - Top 10 Of The 1990s - Ivanchuk vs. Shirov, 1996

[@XXpawn]

People, go follow this series! This video is - again - a perfect example of the high quality and entertaining streams by Sam. I am inclined to quote the master: BOEM!

[@TymexComputing]

Indeed - fully professional - following since the first time i saw. I always got a little scared by the boom though i usually expect boom after hearing a move that sacrifices or neglects some pieces but not knowing why is it that good to be played :)

[@TymexComputing]

When i used to watch a Gadmator channel my environment got distracted every time with "hello everyone" as i never managed to lower the volume first :) and now i am getting angry sights when there is a Boom!!! punch-line in The best of chess channel or when i happen to play Atomic variant :)

[@JaganChess]

At 12:40 in the video u mistakenly say Ivanchuk resigns the game. Else an amazing presentation of this most exciting game!

The Best Of Chess Channel agadmator style

[@graciousleader790]

Wow! Before, the semi-Slav always looked to me like a cramped, solid opening. I had no idea there were such sharp, exciting lines!

[@WilliamJonesChess]

I like the quadruple !! surrounding Qg7. Nice effect. Well explained. Thanks for the video.

[@alfonsocantor1058]

Great job and fantastic game to watch

[@TymexComputing]

Yesterday in the interview after a match Vassily vs Gata, Vasyl was asked about the Qg7 move and this game :) and only if i understood it he remembers that somebody earlier had showed him similar position with black Queen on g8 www.twitch.tv/videos/656510698

[@timbatimbero3934]

Outstanding ! I like this chess style.

[@dumbdumb7038]

on 10:19: what about a q sac with qxd1 + rxd1 kxb7 ? I mean the endgame is better for white after rd7+ and than picking up the f7 pawn and the g7 pawn is still on the board but it is a rook endgame and maybe those black pawns could be enough to hold?

[@bloom5351]

No. I analyzed the position, white crushed in rook endgame winning the pawns.

[@keithworthing7038]

Very late to this comment if you ever see it. That was my very first thought too, but white always gobbles up blacks queen side pawns ending it a r+p and a r+3p endgame. It looks natural to do as black, but it's 100% losing.

[@dbartholemewfox]

I enjoyed the game, but even if I'm in the minority, I do want to say that I generally find sound effects (like at 5:43) more annoying than fun. Please take into consideration that at least some viewers prefer fewer distracting antics in their chess analysis. Thanks again for a fascinating game!

[@CBQReview]

Was ivanchuk white or black?? Towards the end you refer to the losing side as ivanchuk

[@Javidfarali1980]

Sam, Love your videos. Thank you.

[@giorgifehmicelik4205]

İvanchuk how he put his night between rocks and quenn and bishop , nowadays Did you see He is more creative than carlsen etc. Like nedzhmetdinov

I renamed both planets after myself last night. Planet Chauncey sounds better.
