Then Knight a2, rook cant take then queen takes rook a2

6:45 did you miss Bd2

[@nantre6144]

Will, do you stream? I’d love to tune into you playing chess live sometime.

[@duarted1as598]

Wait I stopped here because I didn't understand. I thought Bd2 wins a piece here 6:40, because the knight is pinned and if black plays qc5+ I just would play kh1 and the knight would still be pinned and I don't see a way to defend the knight. What am I missing?

[@farid9ful]

7:51 what if he moved the knight to B5 , if pawn takes u take with bishop and u pin the king it is possible?

[@nickb987]

I am just a little 500 player, but after you played bishop to d2, you played queen c1, but instead of that maybe bishop to g4 and after that rook b1 to sacrifice the rook and get the checkmate? Does that work?

[@DalosD_64]

Which data base you use?

[@andresvalenzuela2258]

[@Pivas1]

9:10 there was bishop h4 which was devastating

[@jinueditz]

No cause both knight and rook can capture. No point

[@Kyle-yo4yy]

@@jinueditzare you high

[@Pivas1]

​@@jinueditz Have you considered calculating? If knight blocks theres mate on c7, if rook blocks theres mate on f8, the best thing is to block with the queen

[@marcpaters0n]

Queen sacrifice... chef's kiss 👌

You should get a mouse pad mate

you had a free knight lol

[@WxvesVFX]

2:40 what about queen d5? if queen takes, you would get a royal fork and win a pawn back, also preventing castling edit: oh sorry didnt watch completely before showing why f4 is better

🐐🐐

[@DESTAR.90]

Never fails to be six minutes down and still win 😂😂

It can also be a check mate without sacrificing the queen bishop to h4 takes takes chemate

[@randomname1530]

At 9:10 you had a beautiful sequence with Bh4+ and Rf8# if he blocks with the rook or Qc7# if he blocks with the knight. Blocking with the queen is the only move that doesnt lose on the spot but then you're up a queen for a bishop.

[@defo3750]

That’s what I saw and I wondered why he didn’t play this

[@shivanggupta596]

can't he block with the knight though

8:08 Nb6 would be devastating. The bishop on b8 is trapped if traded of, king would be in line with the rook. If axb6, Bxb6+ would pick up the queen.

[@Harv917]

[@Gwennbleidd_Chess]

0:31 - I think the best move was Be2, gambitting the e4 pawn for activity and development.

[@tangled3349]

Could have sacked the knight for a bishop mate like 3 moves previous. That was beautiful though 😍
