00:00 Hello Everyone!
04:50 CRAZZY MOVE
Norway Chess is a 10-player round-robin featuring Top 5 stars Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja and Hikaru Nakamura taking place in Stavanger, Norway from 30 May to 9 June. Each of the 9 rounds consists of a classical game where a win is worth 2 points and a loss 0. If the players draw they play an Armageddon game, where the winner earns 1.5 points and the loser 1 point. No draw offers are allowed before move 30.
The 3+2 blitz opener takes place on Monday 29th and will give the winners the chance to pick their pairing numbers for the main event. The classical time control is 2 hours for all moves, with a 10-second increment per move only after move 40. For Armageddon White (the same player who had White in the classical game) has 10 minutes to Black's 7, with a 1-second increment from move 41. Black wins if the game ends in a draw. A tie for 1st place will be decided by two 3+2 blitz games followed, if necessary, by a 5 vs. 4-minute Armageddon game. Official website: norwaychess.no

Tough Game for Alireza Fabiano awesome here I like both these players interesting to see how Alireza bounces back and hopefully learned something from this game Much Thanks Agadmator it’s 3:49 AM but hope to see more chess later on today Thanks 😊

[@ItachiUchiha-ns1il]

What a rook sacrifice!

[@JohnDuthie]

Alireza's strategy is to play dubious moves with one rebuttal and pray his opponent makes a mistake. All the wins recently probably inflated his confidence against Fabificano.

[@talphazero1036]

Trying a strategy like that against a man known for engine-like precision is just foolish. Could probably get Rapport or maybe Ian with that, but not Fabi

[@JohnDuthie]

@@talphazero1036 Fabi is on fire right now but am I wrong in my evaluation of Alireza? He's not playing safe what-so-ever.

[@tatsuyasigh1906]

@@JohnDuthie this is beyond 'not playing safe'. This is reckless bullet stuff

[@tatsuyasigh1906]

@@talphazero1036 agree. But this particular game probably wouldn't have fooled any super GM. The only non-obvious move Fabi had to make was that rook lift. Alireza even forced Fabi to find the last winning move lol this wasn't even 'dubious but tricky', just outright bad

Beautiful french defense. The Bull attacks with all it's strength, but the Torreador makes the final finish with his blade.

Fabi the only challenger who lost to Magnus in world chess championship in the tie breaks (not in classical 14 games). My favourite then in 2018, my favourite still

[@elgonzo5]

Wow Alireza played like me when I play against the computer!!!

[@carron979]

7:00 Qd8 seems like quite a counterplay for Alireza... Fabi's e pawn will fall (or his bishop) and the white queen reenters the game on the e file sustaining the queening of the d pawn and threatening nasty checks...

[@chaungiddings7255]

It's black's move and black played c5. So the bishop isn't lost, in fact, if you threaten it with the queen, it just moves to b5 (where it was heading anyway) to threaten checkmate. Black has too much activity, white can't castle, and the white queen needs at least two moves to get back into the game. It's pretty hard for white here.

[@carron979]

@@chaungiddings7255 of course, after ...c5; Qd8-Bb5; Qe7+ Kg6; Q:e6.. and no more mate threat. Plus an e pawn 2 squares from queening... The 2 moves the white queen needs are forcing moves : the first one attacks Fabi's bishop and the second is a check... Then I guess ...Ba4 from Fabi (which he should have played instead af Bb5 already) and f5+!! Ka5 (only move); Qf7+,g6; b4! and who's mating who? 🙂

[@pandoorloki1232]

@@carron979 You're completely clueless. You were told that the bishop is going to b5; why would black take the e6 pawn when all the action is against the white king? "Or you leave the e6 pawn there and you keep checking and hope for a draw" ... don't be ridiculous; black wins long before white can advance that pawn: c5 Qd8 Qe4+ Kf2 Qxf4+ Ke1 Qh4+ g3 Qe4+ Kf2 Bb5 Qc7+ Kg6 Rhe1 Qd4+ Kg2 Rxd2+

I enjoy your commentary too much but can you not show the photo of the winner in the thumbnail? I hate to know the result in advance so I suggest you fit the photo of both of the contendes in the left half.
