Love these guys

[@BlitzWizard94]

the pric defense is still strong

[@ishanchess7]

Great opening to beat 👊💥 someone with black

[@michamotyka648]

​@@ishanchess7 I never understood Pirc players because it's much better to play modern in my opinion, so white doesn't have typical plan of Be3-Qd2-Bh6 and also 3 pawns line with f4. Tiger wrote 2 books on this (Tiger's modern). Pirc is basically really rarely played on high level nowadays and it's for a reason. However it's very tricky from Peter because I'm pretty sure that top GMs prepare most for modern than Pirc nowadays, as this basically became the new mainline and Pirc is forgotten. Vidit here played very calm line because he had advantage in the match, but I'm sure in classical game he would just go straight for the kill. But anyways this is blitz, if you know something well, everything is playable as they say.

still really difficult to play at high levels

Blitz? Where are the rapid games?

[@sonus2890]

No fun without Sagar's commentary.

[@wickedpawn5437]

At the end, Vidit was telling Peter that at 5:07, instead of Qxa5, he could have gone Qc6 and the B on f4 doesn't have moves. Black is threatening Nc3 hitting the Q. Peter missed that black had checkmate on g2.

[@clivethereddevil3178]

.....Qc6 then Bf3 Qxb5; Rb1 Qc5 is winning. If .....Qc6 then Bf3 Qxb5; Rb1 Qc7 then Rxb7 Qxb7;Bxd5

Shaky table...Must be irrtation for both players?

5:03 why Peter had not took the rook with bishop?

[@yangwenli668]

Queen is hanging

[@livecrop3379]

Oh i missed it .... Thanks

[@ishanchess7]

No he will not take it...... Because the dark square Bishop is important ...... After exchange with the rook vidit will enjoy double bishop advantage thatwhy... And black will lost dark square control

[@yangwenli668]

@@ishanchess7 not that deep , the queen is hanging that's why he didn't take .
