It looked like a good game was played. From what you showed here, Hans did what he had to do, carefully. And he does make it look easy. Thank you for this content 😊

[@yawchangsaulang304]

[@HanaMulugeta-hp1dr]

In 5:37 why the kid didn't play Qd1+K ?

[@yudaaugusta985]

Does black could be playing Qd1+ to save the game???

[@kewkabe]

I thought so but then Qc1 and bishop on f7 is lost unless black plays the only line ...Qxc1, Kxc1 Rf3, Rxf7 Rxf7, Bxf7 Kxf7 but now black is lost in endgame because he cannot stop the a2 and b2 pawns against black's a pawn, and also prevent white king from taking the d pawn and advancing the c pawn.

[@budikoko80]

[@ayushyt918]

At 5:39 why didn't Khagan went for qd1 rc2 black could checkmate

[@midnighttrain-jz2my]

@@ucanhtran4552 Black doesnt lose material after exchange. ...Qd1+ , Qc1- Qxc1, Kxc1-Rf3 to cover the bishop. Maybe he gave up, cuz he was down a pawn, and 2 isolated pawns...not sure tho.

[@ucanhtran4552]

​​@@midnighttrain-jz2myoh yah i missed Rf3 ,then maybe Bxa6 ? 😂

[@lynmariemalaga4161]

niemann will up 2 pawns, after qd1 check, qc1, qxc1,kxc1, rf3 forced move btw, and simply bishop takes a6 and a completely winning position for hans. btw as you can see at the bar, white is clearly winning!!! black is hopeless, so stop thinking or calculating for a move to defend and hold that position for black 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is nobody else seeing Qd1+ ???

[@bla4979]

saw it, Qc1

[@shokxtv4807]

qc1 and white wins as up a pawn in endgame

[@PGSH]

Where was the blunder??? …Rc8 or what move?

[@user-qn9mb9dh6q]

He went wrong after Rc8 because it allows Rxh6 and threatens Bh7+ if you don't take on h6. After black takes back on h6, the rest of the line that Hans plays is forced and results in Hans winning a pawn and also results in a position where the queens are still on the board and Khagan's king is super exposed. Qf7 instead of Rc8 may have been a better try in order to protect the 8th rank from the threat of Qe8+ Rf8 Bh7+! winning the exchange, but I haven't checked this line with an engine to make sure. EDIT: just checked with an engine and Qe5 instead of Rc8 is the only move. The line continues: Qd8+ Rf8 Bh7+ Kxh7 Qxf8 Rxc2! Kxc2 Bf5 and black has unlimited checks. It makes sense Khagan didn't find it because it is almost impossible to see from a distance that there is compensation for the lost exchange.

[@PGSH]

@@user-qn9mb9dh6q thanks, I thought also that perhaps …Qf7 was better than …Rc8. However, are you sure that Blacks previous moves were good? Why does the video talk about a blunder?

[@user-qn9mb9dh6q]

@@PGSH The title calling Rc8 a blunder when Qe5 (a very difficult move to find) is the only move to hold a draw is a massive exaggeration that is done in order to bring in clicks. Black's previous moves were good according to the engines.

Qd1+ forces a queen trade. Then Black can guard f7 with Rf3. Some play left.
