[@aashu1011]

what they did?

[@fhadenal-mutairi3294]

,good lecture

[@SerbAtheist]

At 28:44, why not 1. Qh8? Then after either 1.... Kg5 of Kf5 go 2. Re5. If 2....Kh6 then Qf8 checkmate, otherwise if 2... Kf4 then Qf6 checkmate outright and if 2... Kh4 then 3. Qf6 and checkmate after taking the black queen on Qg5 or if 3... g5 then checkmate after 4. Qh6. Am I missing something here?

[@Naveen-zu1ee]

After 1. Qh8+ Kg5 2. Re5+, I believe Black has f5, which stops all the checks. Hope this helped!

[@patrickmoloney672]

Akobian is just so good.

[@jakesmith6994]

[@surelysmith]

21 min 45 seconds into the video, why not QE6 check, then RF4???

[@bulletbukkake8907]

qxf4

[@jestes7]

Why doesn't he en passant?!

[@MK-13337]

Can't en passant when the pawn is on the 3rd rank.

[@jestes7]

Matti Kauppinen Thanks! I never knew that -.- haha

[@winterhearted6780]

That was literally gold medal game.

[@syyhkyrotta]

NICE!

[@HCHaven7619]

Akobian sounds like Dr. Scratchansniff.

[@kelvinamoah8766]

why can't he en passant in front of king

[@MK-13337]

Can't en passant when the pawn is on the 3rd rank.

[@kelvinamoah8766]

Thx i owe u one

[@TremendousSax]

When? After g4? If so, you can't do it because the black pawn has to be directly adjacent to the white pawn. Review the en passant rule.

[@Gol_Bat_916]

made the same mistake, forgot the rule
