She Defeated Hans Neimann By Her Crazy Ideas

[@connortilson7141]

Wonderful

[@DaveStuart-n8i]

I learned a lot from watching this game. So many times, she could win pieces, but she was looking to checkmate at all costs. Beautiful checkmate at the end. Brilliant game.

[@rockmcdwayne1710]

She could have forked the queen with a knight there on multiple occasions. Why she didnt do it boggles my mind?

[@DaveStuart-n8i]

@@rockmcdwayne1710 Yep, there were plenty of things she could have done in that game. I would have taken the pieces too, but she wanted the mate not the simplification. Perhaps Hans would have out played her in the simplified position.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@rockmcdwayne1710ha twice during the endgame what’s funny after the first time black pushes a pawn she could’ve taken the pawn and it would’ve been a fork winning the Queen I hear what people are saying she was going for checkmate but had she taken the Queen she would’ve had a Queen and Rook advantage I guess she was confident checkmate was coming any average player would’ve went for the fork

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@DaveStuart-n8inot at that point his pawns I don’t believe had chance to promote she would’ve been up a queen and rook against the black king had she just went for the fork but I guess she was confident of checkmating which she did wonderful checkmate with the knight

[@robertdaniels2549]

I guess I'm in the minority here, but the point of the game is to win. I find that passing up several chances to deliver the crippling blow and just playing cat and mouse is insulting to your opponent.

[@TheMrBennito]

That will sober up Niemann. He got outplayed. Congrats to my compatriot!🎉

[@jansnauwaert1785]

It's incomprehensible that Hans Niemann didn't resign long before the actual checkmate. He was completely lost many moves before it.

[@nicholaslittle2312]

Maybe, but you don't get to grandmaster by resigning early . Lost positions can be turned into draws...

[@freeandfighting3069]

SWEEET...and you were So gracious by not forking his queen near the end saving him completely embarrassment. Instead, you got a nice middle-board check-mate!!! Congrads., FREE

[@TheSmesi]

He did not see the fork coming when he moved his queen. She just played cat and mouse.

[@sarmah7287]

Brilliant. There was a royal fork(Ng4) but, she doesn't played. Best move was Rc5. She was just eyeing for the checkmate, not weakening the other side by capturing pieces. 👌

[@matteom2956]

Absolutely right !

[@flaviucalin]

Yes, sir. I asked myself why not Ng4?

[@southerncross4956]

As you all know she had the king and queen forked for two moves, I’m screaming in my head “You have him forked, take the queen take the queen!!! Damn you should have taken the queen or is she just dominating him with a keep your queen it won’t matter anyway. What a stone cold killer…..

[@hanakobe2405]

When my cat catches a lizard, she doesn't bite off a leg or tail or head.... but terrorizes it for an hour with all its limbs intact, to prolong her hunt for sport. Finally when cornered without an inch to move anymore, she pounces. Eline is like my meow meow. 😊 oh the cheeky lil adrenaline junkie!

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Eline Roebers her Checkmate Speaks for itself im a Hans fan but she put it on him in this game Fantastic Checkmate

[@407X]

I first heard about Hans Neiman when Magnus refused to play him. I am interested in his beginnings in chess and life. I guess that's what Wikipedia and Google are for

[@danwilliams8626]

I think that mate is computer generated. I looked up the game in the database and it only goes as far as where she forked the rook and queen with the knight. He must have resigned there. The rest of the game looks too computeresque to be real, even for players of their level

[@realplonk]

@@danwilliams8626 silly comment as the game has been analyzed by AI and they weren't making the best moves available

[@psychohist]

@@danwilliams8626 I think you're correct. I've found a commentated recap of the game on KZbin where the commentator says he resigned there at 19:54 into this video.

[@tapanpal6432]

At 25.37, NG4 was a fork, would have been a great or a brilliant move, but all over accuracy of Eline was best :). Congratulations 👏🏻

[@moskvin_net]

I was shocked myself that this fork did not happen

[@control5835]

Can't see why her ideas were crazy

[@407X]

Who is this amazing crazy lady? Signed, a fan

[@timhuson4800]

I'd say playful. She could have forked the kine and quen five times, but let him keep the queen so she could defeat him with a checkmate rather than a resign. Just having fun.

[@Firstinstallmentsuccessful]

At 23:18 is the crazy endgame instead of playing knight to f7 better rook to B.6 is boom queen is gone black resigned

[@shafiqulislam3095]

Exactly. She missed a royal fork which wons the queen.also several chances to take the queen 😅

[@samok.8861]

He proves to be just a greedy kid. Makes me wondering about his family.

[@nicholaslittle2312]

Well done Eline!

[@NAR-wv3sl]

The computer couldn’t cope.

[@joseluisleijavazquez]

Qué juegazo ! de lo mejor que presenciado últimamente,

[@Sqid101]

A possible answer to a number of questions raised is that she wanted a checkmate rather than win by winning material. "I wanted to bust him in the middle game" (a Fischer comment.) This is damn cheeky, if not arrogant, but this time she got away with it. It is debatable whether deliberately not playing the objectively best moves to get a checkmate is the best chess, but if you get away with it....

[@Timberius]

Once she didn't even take the free rook, and then several times didn't bother with the opportunity to get his queen, a couple times could have done a fork with the knight on the king and queen, and a few with the rook on the queen with the kind behind. I guess she preferred the challenge. Impressive.

[@Sqid101]

Stockfish evaluates her moves as the most precise. She had a forced mate a long way out. Whether she calculated it right through, or just played according to general principles (knew it must have been there because of the superiority of her position) who knows?.

[@gutschgutscher2609]

Both wanted to troll each other...Against another opponent Hans would have resigned much earlier and she wanted to checkmate him with his Queen on board.

[@jaybingham3711]

Do they have history?

[@johnnypastrana6727]

​@@jaybingham3711Maybe they were lovers...hence her not using the fork?

[@danielfriedlander698]

Das könnte eine Partie sein von meinem sehr verehrten Russischen Grossmeister STEINITZ !!!,,,,,,,Spiele Positionell und die Kombinationen kommen selbst ! ,,,,Bravo,,,!

[@tonywestermann6610]

Ich glaube da irren Sie sich. Steinitz war Chinesisch und seine Familien geht zurück bis auf die Han-Dynastie von 206 v. Chr..

[@jaybingham3711]

For those who never learn (or refuse to employ) defensive moves, I counted 5 undeveloping moves by Eline in the game...including 3 in a row early on. Of course, if all you do is play blitz/bullet, this sort of thing necessarily can easily be ignored. Eline didn't suffer at all making such moves. She patiently floated like a butterfly...till she got an opportunity to sting like a bee. Then refused to deliver available lethal venomous blows. Cuz why the hell not...when you're opponent refuses to hit resign.

[@407X]

I see what you did there. She went full Muhammad Ali on him!

[@howard5992]

She tormented him with potential discovered checks.

[@Sqid101]

Believe it or not, Stockfish reckons she was right not to take the pieces. She didn't always play the very best move (according to Stockfish), but she was always played at least the second or third best move. And Niemann didn't play all that badly either.

[@sarmah7287]

Impressive and strategic planning. Very well played.

[@AirRaid77]

Monster! She didn't want to do the fork, because she wants the mate.

[@jonathanleonard1152]

I look it up before I wrote it as a comment... hehehe... I was sure somebody had made it!

[@mohammedzulk8485]

She put a spell on Niemann...is the only explanation. Take the rook on D6 instead of moving his King to H7.

[@GB-ez6ge]

25:06 Why not go for the knight fork G4?

[@hasb826]

The chess has spoken! 🤔

[@samok.8861]

Yes

[@kurtamesbury6679]

@24:29, why not Ng4! ?

That’s too bad. Hans was going to finally get a date.

[@benheideveld4617]

Goed zo, Eline!

[@brionhausgeld2415]

Why did she pass on the Royal Fork, Knight to G5?

[@justintharp5652]

She either missed a nasty big time fork intentional so Hans wouldn't resign... Or she didn't see it... But yeah she had the opportunity to hit Hans with a nasty game changing fork between the king & queen??

[@laogui2425]

Why hadn't he resigned long ago? Was she in time trouble perhaps?

[@danwilliams8626]

I think in actuality he did. The database has the game ending long before the game in the video

[@جذعالنخله-ح3ه]

Hi .. please can any one give me the name of this clever girl ? Thanks

Eline Roebers

[@markgendala5689]

Russia's "Sovietollahs" and Iran's "Ayatollahs" - what a bunch of geniuses!

[@barrywuthrich8530]

First, she didn't take the rook. Then she could fork the queen and king with the knight and didn't. I didn't get that at all. She didn't force a queen trade to simplify. I think she must have been offended that Hans didn't resign and he was playing for a stalemate, at best.

[@ericc.edholm6565]

how many hanging pieces did she bypass? this girl plays like she's 55. amazing

[@kimbirch1202]

She could have taken his Queen many times, to simplify.

[@sjakob52]

She deserved to win . Very fine game.

[@TruthSurge]

wow, lots of bad moves by both. Free knight at 25:04, no? Ok, I see. 25:31. Hans is just rage ending by pushing the pawns. He doesn't want to take the knight and is offering a free knight fork as a kind of suicide ending. No way she should have won making so many bad moves. Crazy ideas? just bad moves.

[@407X]

No cigar after that game

Interesting game, but some comments (for people like me - not chess masters ) would have been nice.

[@stephenforest3345]

I think if Niemann was playing a guy, he would have resigned when he was two pieces down

[@matteom2956]

A fork king/queem missed by White !

[@cdr3115]

How many times did he queenless but she didn't take it. So that nieman will surrender. It looks you just playing this is why takes long time

Is Niemann a real player?

They are both terrible players. Soo many mistakes, inaccuracies and blunders!

[@johngongoradelacruz9168]

She didn’t miss it only wanted to checkmate with his queen on board to humiliate him .😂😂

[@danwilliams8626]

When I looked up the game in the database, it ends much earlier than this video! When she forked the rook and queen with the knight, it ended. That must be where he resigned in real life. The rest of the game looks too computeresque for even players of their level

[@control5835]

Maybe Hans should have put Knight on B4, not E7

[@pwash474]

So she played so irrationally bad that she confused her opponent. Happens to me in online games all the time! Lol

[@sebastianhoppe4088]

Yes, nice... Crazy ideas - where?! This was one of two only victories in this tournament. Last place (14). She played a good game, yes. But no crazy ideas, only some bad moves of Niemann who had a good position over a long period in this game.

[@user-gr5tx6rd4h]

Neimann??? It is Niemann.

[@youngnguyen1353]

End best move is knight fork queen and king then he will resign. Simplest way
