Good thing Players like Aronian, Nakamura, Wesley So, Caruana, MVL aren't playing in this tournament so we don't have to see the same matches over and over again. Gives chance to players like Vidit, Duda, Shakland, Rapport, Forest and Radjabov. Also allows fans to see some new match-ups !

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Yep, playing with keeping an eye on tempos. You don’t want to be hasty. This was a strategy developed at the Battle of Hastyings. (Also famous for longbows vs. radjabows.)

[@nigelfarage4119]

really?

[@atrichatterjee2299]

Coffee house chess with world class commentary

[@johnkom2339]

Applause for Radj for keeping the spectators happy! Best tournament I've seen in a year for sheer excitement. Renew my subscription!

[@cavidhsnli4312]

So far best game of the tournament. Congrats Teimour! 🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿

[@Agastya26]

That was a quick upload! Will you be reviewing the Kramnik-Anand game? It was a beauty as well. Plus-a clash of a the veterans!

[@danielzitnik4247]

What a great game! Lots of interesting lines shown. I always enjoy your content, but this was especially well done.

[@eyalsegal5003]

A spectacular game, but it should be emphasized that it was made possible by Vidit's bad reaction to Radjabov's novelty with 13...e5? - opening the a2-g8 diagonal for the white bishop, which as a result became such a monster and added so much power to White's attack. Cold engine analysis shows that 13...b5! (to be followed by an immediate b4 if the bishop tries to remain on the a2-g8 diagonal) leads to an advantage for Black, which probably means that 13.g4 was a one-game idea and won't find further takers at the top level.

Hello Mr King! Great video as always! This line i am preaty sure that i will use a lot. I belive that if you do some game play streaming u will get a lot of subscribers, and will be really cool to see you playing. Congratulations for your great content!

[@eXquisiteNoise]

Good stuff! Thank you Mr. King

[@adnan4688]

I keep comming back to see the game 😁. This is very instructive and I learned alot

[@dickmacgurn590]

Amazing how long black survived while constantly threatening mate while under constant threat of mate. Very tense and only the slightest of blunders lol.

[@1blueeye]

Wow. Beautiful attack, very impressive stuff. Fearless, precise moves in tenuous (superficially, at least) positions. Great analysis Mr. King, as always.

[@digbymooney5435]

Wonderful game. Great analysis :)

[@mohamednazar4644]

Your videos are the only videos i press like befor watching.

[@KrishnaKumar-np3tw]

Brutal attack, I hate it when opponent does not castle and still wins! thank you!

[@dr.deepakgore1079]

Excellent tactical game,thanks GM sir for explaining us tacticals in game. Your all posts r really gem of chess and they should be compiled in book format for coming generations, great sir 🎉❤❤

[@suyashsharma7949]

8:32 is the first time i am seeing danny firing correctly otherwise he too once said on this channel that he usually misfires. Great commentary and analysis as usual

[@eamonmontgomery9886]

Fantastic game fantastic video thanks daniel

[@andreadiotallevi5780]

Great game by Radjabov! Excellently explained Daniel.

[@jonasjonass623]

I hope i can play this idea of g4 some day in the future. Very nice game and really an instructive video

[@Weserberglander]

Game of the year. Classical attacking Chess: 1.e4 e5 2. f4 ... Modern attacking Chess: 1. d4 ... ~ 10.g4 ...

[@mohamednazar4644]

Radjapov is my favourite player i hope if you analyze more of his games.

[@movement1487]

What a rumble! Great fight!

[@FlaminalLow]

What a beautiful attack!!

[@Phurngirathaana]

Was looking forward to Kramnik Anand :( But this video made my day Thanks Danny for another great analysis video

[@suyashsharma7949]

9:42 typical danny enjoying himself and making the viewers too enjoy the beauty of chess. That move is just activating a rook (which is worth 5 points) better than winning the bishop (worth 3 points) and making the rook of 0 points at the moment so dynamically winning 2 points by castling

[@lashabezhanishvili9034]

Thank you for these videos Mr. King. They are joy to watch. At around 5:24 you said that the pawn can't be recaptured because it's against the rules of chess. I am chess coach myself and I simply don't agree with this statement. I mean sure it's illegal to move a bishop like a rook, horizontally. But this situation is just different. I always tell my Students - well, not that it's illegal but your King will die and you might as well resign. So they just learn that the pawn can't be captured because King will die. Moving a bishop like a rook is a "cheat" and is illegal, while exposing your King to an attack so it can be captured should just be counted as loss, not as illegal move.

[@lashabezhanishvili9034]

I mean I don't agree with the notion that such move is illegal. I didn't mean to say I did not agree with you because it's not your rule, it's just a generally accepted rule.

[@asimnehmtli1461]

Radjabov ❤

[@motornade277]

Thnx

[@hansgrettle8240]

Teimour “The Savage” Radjabov sets the board on fire with g4!

[@reddevilkev]

Fire on board for sure !! :)

[@Robster543210]

Best game of the tournament so far.

[@ziyadalkilic]

beautiful game

[@contestator1225]

Amazing

[@haroldwhitney6130]

Very good game.

[@TheGuyCalledX]

At 12:16, W wouldn't recapture on g3 but just mate the B king after B knight left his post guarding the g7 square.

[@jonathanbush6197]

The queen took the g3 knight because the white king was in check.

[@elhabibbirouk9722]

Very impressive

[@TheBlueDude71]

at 12:21 on the variation example couldn't the queen just go to H7 and its check mate?

[@lemoncake7565]

This tournament is insane! Incredible game, g4 4 the win!!

[@SouravKumar-mp7lv]

Accidentally found a gem

[@fortasbrahim8260]

thanks King for this great analyse but one think At Move 26 Nxg3 next move for white is Mate Qg7# it's not need to capture the Knight ;)

[@AlexanderEbel]

Nxg3 is Check

[@askdubi]

What happened to the video quality?

[@hardikchaniyara4255]

Amazing attack, your comments on vishy vs kramnik ?

[@PowerPlayChess]

A fine victory by Vishy, although Kramnik's strategy was over-the-top. An example of g4 that was really way too risky.

[@amuricuh6143]

nice game

[@imanjafarov3375]

Radjabov is one of my favourite chess players,especially with black. but unfortunately i cannot see him in many tournaments

[@russianburger]

At 10:43, Knight to e7 by black stops the Qh8 mate, no?

[@Doggaebi.]

Oh yeah, yeah

[@chessbrilliance8783]

At 12:02 what about Rxe3?? Or am I missing something?

[@jonathanbush6197]

well how does that lead to mate? A white knight and a white rook cover e1, and the queen covers the second rank

[@chessbrilliance8783]

@@jonathanbush6197 if you take the rook with the pawn. it certainly leeds to mate. If you play K f1 I agree, I don't see a good continuation.

[@jonathanbush6197]

Yes you're right.

[@jiricujdik7117]

Here in this video on 12:15 there is not possible to take on g3 with Knight because of checkmate on g7!!! Dany, use your queen correctly, do not go back but toward the opponents King!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Ng3 is check.

[@kojiattwood]

Nice "Tal bishops"!

[@ibrahimseck8520]

9:36 isn't castling queen side illegal because of the opposition white bishop ?

[@jonathanbush6197]

It is illegal to move the king into, out of, or through a check when castling. But moving the rook through a threatened square when castling queenside is perfectly legal, as is moving a threatened rook when castling on either side. If you did not know that, you are not alone. Korchnoi did not know it either until relatively late in his career.

[@ibrahimseck8520]

Oh I see now, Thank you !

[@nirmalenduchakrobarty6994]

At 12:15. Qg7 is mate. Why bother with Q*g3

[@erikibarra4530]

.... So far?

[@larsyxa]

Does not the black bishop at A2 prevent castle...?

[@JoosMaguy]

nope whites king doesnt have to walk through a check to castle!

[@lazyatthedisco]

Castle is forbidden if the king goes through an attacked square. Since neither d1 or c1 are attacked you can long castle.

[@larsyxa]

Oh. Thats one subtility ive missed.

[@chesschampionchampion6314]

Why not re3 at 12.03?

[@chesschampionchampion6314]

please reply danie sir

[@Jaylooker]

That was like a Leela game where white just attacks and doesn’t care about material

[@jb95467]

At 12:15, I think you can just mate him with Qg7

[@ricj441]

Nh5 protects g7 and Nxg3 is check

[@MEME-qe4ze]

radj is dangerous

[@pedrogalindo5095]

Why Radyabov has never reached a candidates? He is an excelent player

[@nigelfarage4119]

Lack of composure......But yes he definitely has it in him

[@PowerPlayChess]

I watched him play in the Candidates in London in 2013 :)

[@eyalsegal5003]

Radjabov actually played in the Candidates twice - in 2011, when he qualified via the Grand Prix (losing to Kramnik in the quarter-finals); and 2013 (as mentioned), when he was nominated as the wild card by SOCAR, the Azeri sponsor. He had a disastrous performance there (last with 4/14) which started a very bad period from him, from which he never really recovered - perhaps until now...

[@jhnsnw]

When he was at his 15s, he was considered to be the next world champion. He took down Kasparov at the age of 14. He was very very good player, but he never pushed his limits, he had some personal issues. Generally he is always in top 20, but he can do much better than this.

[@rageagainstthemachineragea2497]

😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@eugeneanisko833]

I thought it was pronounced ‘RadzhAbov’.

[@PowerPlayChess]

My Azeri is a bit rusty.

[@pierolocatelli8037]

All preparation

[@pierolocatelli8037]

Well if he have thought for 17 minutes maybe not ahah

[@pierolocatelli8037]

But he probably saw some similar lines whitout 0-0

[@postyoda1623]

Not really, g4 not really the best objectively, also he didn't play Rg1.
