Nakamura vs Karjakin, St. Louis Blitz 2018

[@yazan2776]

anything to do with calculus?

[@nicbentulan]

Great view/angle!

[@joeseppe1398]

Do you think about making chess lessons to beginners like logical openings, logical defending or atacking ?

[@robobrain10000]

Just a little bit of commentary would have gone a long way in this video. Perhaps an introduction?

[@patrickjmt]

There is some official commentary on the St. Louis chess club. When I watch these sorts of videos, I don't really like any commentary, I just like watching the players.

[@NotJaredT]

Would it be possible to get an arial shot next time? This was incredibly entertaining. Poor Nakamura. He looked defeated about 5 minutes in.

[@patrickjmt]

I was about as close as I could get. They have a sectioned off space for the players so that us spectators don't completely get in their space

[@kencastillo4767]

already loved your math videos, then this happened... thumbs up!

[@control5586]

Pattycake we are subbed for you to teach us will you teach us chess basics?

[@SpaghettiEnterprises]

lol Pattycake

[@Live4Ibanez]

I've never seen a professional match before. Do most matches run down to the last few seconds where both are relying on the opponent to make a mistake?

[@patrickjmt]

Sometimes! But this is blitz so time scrambles are very common.

[@nicbentulan]

I think much less when there's increment

[@HimalayanBat86]

awesome pat bro

[@MikeBassil]

Karjakin is simply amazing

[@patrickjmt]

He sure is. I told him after this game (he was outside): 'Great game man'. He just smiled and said 'Thank you'

[@MikeBassil]

That's awesome haha. Did you fly out there just to view the tournament??

[@patrickjmt]

Yep

[@MikeBassil]

patrickJMT cool man, I'll have to try that one day too

[@Kalen1457]

Math nerds please answer this question: Can the Nash equilibrium be applied to Chess? Just food for thought.

[@sivyig]

who won? xD

[@Rentorock]

Russian dude (Black). Nakamura forfeited after realising that he wouldn't be able to stop black's pawn from promoting to Queen, effectively winning the match up.

[@hasanagha1474]

Who won? :(

[@Rose-gm1gg]

Omg where are you i miss you so much 😍

[@KingSyilver]

Why'd the game end, no one was on check

[@patrickjmt]

Nakamura resigned. Karjakin was going to play Rb1 next and then promote the 'a-pawn'. Naka had no way to stop that or to get any counterplay.

[@allanlago1]

Nakamura had a knight and a rook against Karjakin's rook, bishop and two pawns. Basically, Karjakin was simply pushing his pawn up to the last rank, where it would get promoted to a queen, at which point Nakamura would have little to no chance. For that reason, Nakamura resigned the game. Here is the official commentary if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGanpWaJht2niM0m43s

[@RedMaster-mw6ti]

I'm not a nerd enough to handle this entertainment.

[@inducedbycoffee]

Sergey is Russian Orthodox, (my religion). Notice the prayer rope on his wrist! Very cool

[@patrickjmt]

he seems like a very nice guy. i saw him outside hanging out after this game and told him: good job, very nice game. he changed from looking serious and gave a nice smile and replied: thank you

[@actually4660]

Too bad no sound. 😊

[@patrickjmt]

yea, as i posted, i didn't realize my mic was out of batteries until i started. i went to get some after this game though so the others do. nothing but clicking of clocks in any case :)

[@user-xs6wk7gs1j]

Nakamura forgot to drink his Red Bull, therefore resulting in a loss.

[@andersb7216]

You should make a chess tutorial video :)

[@matthewerickson6329]

You from St. Louis?

[@patrickjmt]

Nope

[@penborg7160]

Hey hey I'm ready for my rematch on Lichess with you Patrick! ;)

[@patrickjmt]

they deleted my account for some reason :/ apparently you are not allowed to have an 'alt account' and if they realize you have more than one, they delete them both

[@penborg7160]

@@patrickjmt Oh dang, I was starting to think that you were too scared to play me so u deleted your own account ;) If you ever go live stream on chess.com I'll be there in a flash!

[@hjdhbcfjjb]

patrickJMT haha that's not true at all. Many players openly have multiple accounts. Take penguin for example. They only ban multiple accounts if you are abusing it. I assume that 5 or more accounts will get you blocked. Are you sure there wasn't another reason? Maybe you were cheating?

[@theobirkholz]

Patrick do you play on Lichess at all? Add me "theobz" I would love to play some games with you!

[@chrisulfen8775]

Wow! I remember years ago I was watching you for your math tutorials! Now a year ago I got into chess and now you're posting chess!!! Amazing!

[@patrickjmt]

I have a few chess videos if you are bored and want to search for them, I periodically post some.

[@KingSyilver]

And who won?

[@allanlago1]

Sergey Karjakin

[@robobrain10000]

15:38 Nakamura forfeit. So, Karjakin won.

[@shacelw5720]

I am so attractive to your brain..i love you Patrick

[@patrickjmt]

you are attractive to my brain

[@shacelw5720]

Lol yes I'm attracted to your intelligence. Your math videos aid me alot in university

[@SpaghettiEnterprises]

lol

[@kishorsonawane5990]

Nakamura's👍
