Anish Giri learnt about tricking others from his hacker

[@eminence_]

he got hacked? what he lost?

[@linminhtoo]

@@eminence_ his twitter. the hacker just tried to humiliate anish and a bunch of other GMs

[@SeungNam]

I love how this single clip just stunned 3 GMs into silence. That screenshot at 0:34 is gold.

Robert didn't see it, Danya didn't see it, Kovalev didn't see it. It's incredible how three 2600+ GMs can have this blind spot simultanuously.

[@snes09]

That's what happens in time scrambles. Even top players mess up

[@brucewayne2184]

Danya said take e7 so he saw it. They just couldn't believe it actually happened.

[@bobing1752]

@@brucewayne2184 I think he felt the danger but didn't realize it was mate. He might have seen it but said he didn't, but I'm not convinced

Danya said either right before or right after the commercial break that he saw the mate earlier but missed it in the moment

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

Ahh the classic getting too focused on the promotion on one side of the board to spot mate on the other side.

[@pectenmaximus231]

With a title like that, I guess we can call chess busted and move on with our lives

[@Misteribel]

Insane! Beautiful mate, even Anish seems surprised! Had to replay slowly to understand lol.

Well, in case you're not joking.. the players are in another call, probably with the arbiter. They're not in the call with the commentators.

man giri do rly well

[@nilsp9426]

Ohh I had one of these in a classic over the board game without time trouble involved. My opponent was two clean pawns ahead and blundered a mate in one. His king was on g3, my rook cut the second rank and my bishop delivered checkmate from e1. Unsurprisingly he was not interested in analysing the game afterwards...

[@khanhtn9665]

Aight, gotta feel bad for him, but feel good yourself :D . What was your level when the game was played?

[@souhardyahalder3903]

Robert and Danya best commentator

Wow dude!

This should be turned into an Anish Giri thug life meme

Hess thought he called it. Rb1 looked flashy.

haha what an original and never-before-seen joke

[@williamblake7386]

Happens everytime in my games(1,8k lichess)

[@Grasuggan22]

Naradotski said take on e7 and hess move to b1. So Naradotski was right

[@OswinOsgood]

I can feel the pain

[@Someone-cp2op]

he tricked him with the temptation of getting a queen. Its the time pressure that makes this special. Nothing to special about that otherwise. If they would have still 15 min On this level this is a huge blunder from Kovalev

[@logand3957]

That’s what makes it exciting at the GM level though. The fact that blunders like this can happen in the first place and you need to sync up your strategy with quick pattern recognition. Less so in rapid than bullet, but still

[@wsemenske]

"Yeah but if it were classical time format..." This might be the dumbest comment here

[@jasonhe5578]

wdym this is so easy to find I found one in one of my games... except that there was a knight defending the square and it took my rook

[@akshaykamthe7290]

As someone else is handling anish's twitter account, he is playing well now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@starl0rdtreizzz422]

OOF

[@alfredyt]

Rook b1, rook b1. You know what it is

[@shmvon]

Just lucky

[@NaderTaghinia]

Fun fact: GM Naroditsky’s voice is so much like Joe Rogan’s 😄

[@MsBobbert]

It isn't

[@nordiknight9042]

Probably when Rogan is on DMT

[@Games_and_Music]

0:18 Yeah, definitely should've taken e7. Bishop takes Bishop on e7, check, King retaliates and takes Bishop. But then what? The new Queen is dead on arrival, and then it's equal parties, 1 King, a Rook and 4 pawns each.

[@NYKevin100]

Stockfish says that White is completely winning after Rb7+, because from that position, the White king can eventually make it to b8, while Black's rook is paralyzed on the a file and unable to effectively block the White king's movement.

[@Games_and_Music]

@@NYKevin100 That's right, i got stuck because i wanted to promote the Pawn to Queen too soon, just like Kovalev, haha I also saw some commenters say that black's Pawns were placed much more favorably, as in, black would've won eventually. So i got a bit lost in the scenarios at some point. I kept thinking, the white Rook is stuck, because i would put it at b7 and check King again, but sitting next to the Pawn kinda ruins the Rook's mobility to block the black Rook, and moving the Pawn now would leave it open to be taken by the black Rook. So both the white Pawn and Rook are fixed into place by the black Rook. But instead of seeing it as a downside, it goes both ways, the black Rook is indeed also paralyzed, which gives the white King the opportunity to start moving. So, i guess the Rook vs Rook stalemate in favor of white is the advantage that white has and will give him the win.

[@tanjinpang]

All 3 other GMs surprised that it is not a draw!!
