Reminds me of the King's GAmbit Spassky played against Fischer in Siegen, 1970. The position is totally dissimilar but the tactical dynamics - two heavyweights standing in the middle of the ring trading haymakers. It is also one of those games that reminds you why you came to the game in the first place. Thanks for sharing.

i actuallly watched the ad section 4 this vid. i usually skip em

[@mako_nako44]

Tbh, now that i have seen Gotham struggling with whats his name is spelt or its meaning, as a sanskrit student, id like to show you the real meaning (etymology) of Praggnananda in sanskrit. Praggnya(actually spelt differently as prag+nya) - intelligence, ananda- bliss. "प्रज्ञां आनन्दते यस्य सः प्रज्ञानन्दः" (बहुव्रीहि समास ) meaning "The one whos intelligence is being blissed, that person" is pragg(ya)aananda rameshbabu. (The alphabet ज्ञा is sometimes said as GNA with nasal sound, but sometiimes its said GNYA) And the meaning of ramesh is "रमायाः ईषः यस्याः सः रमेशः" also the same compound word as before, this time itd be "The Lord (Narayana) of Goddess of fortune (Sri). And babu is just a sweet word to address a child. and usually the first name or any spelling of the father is inherited in the indian traditional culture as the genes pass on to next generation carrying a heavy significance on the way of family, same with the name. Hope this explaination helps you all.

[@lukaswolek7294]

Pragg losing his streak before the candidates was really heartbreaking😢.

[@dimaawny4548]

Chess made me realise how interesting some peoples' names are around the world.

[@zencrazycat]

L̶e̶v̶y̶ Prag never fails to make the best move.

[@banntaylor7323]

I agree. Logically the game is about who can “kill” the King first to win the game, so every move that you make will have repercussions for good or bad. And you should be allowed to move your piece and leave the King to be taken because you’re that one that should look for those mistakes, not the opponent or the referee (or whatever he’s called) telling you.

[@santiagocingolani2455]

Look at the time of Vincent he went from playing something he knows to taking 40 minutes and moving the queen out of the pin

[@someguywhocanfly]

What about bishop d3 to pin the queen around 15:09? It looks really powerful. If the queen takes, you take the knight with check and probably deliver a mate soon, if he doesnt take you win the queen

[@thechuckberryfan98]
