A coffee and a new video of Mr. King. There's nothing better to start a a day :)

[@Narrowcros]

With a cigar perhaps? hehe perfection

[@sonata7304]

I loved the way u say "El niño" xddd great. Cheers from Spain :)

[@amuricuh6143]

Hey Danny. I really needed this right now. Going through some stuff right now. Your uploads are always perfectly timed. Chess is always a good way to take my mind off it. I really love your videos. Thank you

[@amuricuh6143]

im really scared, anxious and have been unable to sleep (3am currently) because I've been crying for the past few hours. i dont know what to do

[@WowlxX]

Hey dude hang in there! Things will get better :)

[@PowerPlayChess]

Enjoy the chess. Have a chat with someone.

[@amuricuh6143]

​@@PowerPlayChess i vented to someone i know on discord but their offline right now. hopefully tomorrow they can help out. I've never had any relationship before so im freaking out

[@SuperJuiceman11]

Cheers mate. I agree, having a bad week myself.. but sitting here enjoying my coffee listening to Grandmaster King dive into these awesome games is just a breath of fresh air

[@shauntaylor6040]

When the rooks never move out of the corners you pretty much know who is winning.

[@eljanrimsa5843]

Don't randomly move them to f4 in the opening!

[@paulgreen7906]

Paul Morphy-esque by GM Anton. He is my idol. Genius is an over used word but Paul Morphy was one. Way ahead of the curve. If Mr Morphy had been born in this era and had access to all the games played in the last 150 years, modern opening theory and computer assistance, he would be the first human being with a 3000 FIDE rating!

[@horvathliviu2101]

Great game. Thank you Daniel for video and commentary!

[@denisrozier5831]

Toujours aussi excellent Daniel ! Et les petits commentaires accessoires sont aussi la cerise sur le gâteau ...

[@schoong001]

That was deep and superb preparation by white. Amazing!

[@samirkhan-xb8ke]

Thanks again for the analysis

[@danieluroz8659]

Great analysis as always Daniel. It was a very entertaining game. I think I will run this game through stockfish, I want to see all the lines there. Thanks a lot for the video sir.

[@rtt1961]

Amazing game. Great pick to analyze. Thanks.

[@philippmai4897]

Amazing stuff.

[@mixolydian2010]

Wow. Cheers Daniel.

[@georgesduroy410]

"... possibly both" indeed!

[@tome57a]

Thanks GM King for showing us that daring, unconventional chess can still be played at top levels (of course, with the proper preparation :) ).

[@guest_informant]

Interesting sequence of move times 14 Rf4 1:47 Nc6 25:52 15 Qxd5 59:04

[@sojourn6207]

*In dramatic voice* "And that king is just getting killed" lmao

[@sciaro1]

Can't stop wondering what was hanging on the wall behind Mr. King.

[@FlaminalLow]

What an awesome game!! Either from a different planet or another century. Crazy stuff, but also, very naive of Sasha to go for that bishop 🧐

[@Cocothegorilla05]

Grischuk got miniatured

[@AFrenchman31]

...I dream of beating a Master in this fashion one day... Let alone a top GM!!

[@pierremontz2628]

Wow!

[@zifircin1797]

14:30 every picture tells a story, and this picture tells the story that grischuk is completely lost. (your quote from anand gelfand wc match :)

[@TessaTestarossa]

Wow. I got nothing else, just wow.

[@diogoribeiroferreira5549]

I may have missed something, but in the end I didn’t get the point of 14.Rf4 vs Rf1. What was that about? Thanks!

[@The5thBeatle2010]

Actually Daniel didn't show the real reason why. Rf1 Be6 Qxb7 Qd7 Qxa8 0-0 and White's queen is trapped. However with the rook on f4 white can play Rg4+!! And after Bxg4 Qxd5 (queen escapes) Bxh3 Bh6 and Black cannot take the Queen because then both the rook on f8 and the bishop on e7 are en prise.

[@diogoribeiroferreira5549]

Wow! Rg4+!! And if Kh8 Bh6 Rc8 Bg7+ Kg8 Be5+ followed by Bxb8!

[@anthonykernich1035]

Black breaking every opening rule us mortals have learnt lol

[@pukulu]

Every once in awhile Grischuk suffers a debacle on the chessboard. He suffered one in the poisoned pawn Najdorf a few years ago, in a game even shorter than this one.

[@SuperJuiceman11]

@9:55 after Rf4 .... doesn't Bg5 just force the rook back to f1???

[@reddevilkev]

If black plays that line you are in big trouble after Nxd5

[@ElColombre27360]

Sometimes I fake thinking while still in my preparation, hoping my opponent plays the most natural move and fall into a deep, nasty forest of traps cooked at home. Maybe I'm wrong, but I got the feeling Anton did something similar....

[@sciaro1]

You might be on to something here. If he did, 59 minutes seems almost over the top, but it worked beautifully.

[@ElColombre27360]

@@sciaro1 yes, one hour thinking is probably too much for a fake. But I'm still a little suspicious.

[@happy_labs]

3:06 doesn't g5 trap the knight? What am I missing?

[@wolfgangvs]

Bxg5

[@Pipiopy]

Got cought in the prep, got greedy and cremita

[@blindfoldchess7762]

Yo

[@archaeopteryx7405]

Morphy? What Morphy? Morphy didn't know computers. This is another victory of Stockfish! The weird looking move 14.Rf4 is the clear choice of the engine to keep the initiative (after 14. Rf1 Be6!; 15. Qb7 Qd7; 16.Qxa8 0-0 black has a full compensation for the rook - according to engine). The only move required the Spaniard a long think was 16.Bxe4, just because he was prepared to face 15...0-0 (first choice of the engine) instead of f5!?. Finally, 16...fxe4 is only a terrible blunder, one of those that is not expected by a top player like Grischuk. After that for white the path to win is easy. Congratulation to Stockfish (Komodo, Fritz or what else) for this "brilliant" victory.

[@arnieus866]

Point taken but sadly, Borg-like chess is part of the game now, for as long as there is electricity. Grischuk has a computer too.

[@archaeopteryx7405]

@@arnieus866 you are right, Grischuk also use the computer and databases. Maybe he didn't pay attention to this strange move because it has been played only a couple of times before at gm level. Also, at first sight, it looks inferior to Ng5, and perhaps it is.
