A well played game from Dubov as he is a very strong player but Caruana is simply something else. The amount of positional calculations in this game from the sacrifice till that insane king walk and infiltration of the position is just too damn impressive. It shows how Caruana is an outstanding strategist of another caliber and making the video title is just on spot. Fabiano Caruana is a monster and I Can't wait to see his performance in the upcoming candidates.

14:17 why dubov didn't capture bishop g5 with rook? It comes with a check, forcing white King to capture or lose the g7 pawn. Dubov can then promotes to queen c1 and it comes with a check, making it playable for black to continue the game

White will capture with the H pawn then there's no check. Next would be G8 Queen and black has to capture to avoid quick mate and will lose his promoted queen as well.

That is not happening because after you promote Queen White promotes with check and you have to capture with bishop and your new queen is hanging unfortunately. And white still has h pawn and rook and winning the game

[@TheBigLeChowski]

14:17 after Rc6 couldn't Dubov play Rxg5#? Because if King captures you queen on c1 with check, and if he doesn't capture the Rook is guarding g8 so there's no queening and forcing Bxg8 followed by Rxc1 no?

After rook to c6 is it possible to play black rook to g5 with check

[@spasbanchev8922]

Doesn't Rxg5! work much better than Bb3 in that endgame? You ensure getting a queen into the game and white needs to make a move before he can queen so you have defending chances. E.g. Rxg5!, Kxg5, c1Q!, Kf6 (or wherever as check will follow), Qf1! Kg6 (wherever), Bg8 and then black still has defending chances as he might be able to either find a perpetual or a stop for the pawns depending on how the endgame develops.

@14:18, why not pick the bishop with the rook with check? King captures or not doesn't matter and next move you promote the black pawn?
