[@Anonim-tt6zo]

Grischuk very talented and very creative .his highest rating was about 2820

[@BadHabitMarco]

True, his chess is also very interesting to watch. I like the guy. (2816 in Feb 2015)

[@inemanja]

he can win anybody, unfortunately, he can also lose to anybody... I'm afraid he is not up to win the candidates (by the way he is one of my favorite players, most definitely my candidates 2020(/1) favorite

[@nonebelievingbeliever3753]

Classical I assume... impressive

[@chessboy00]

Simon, the Grishcuk-MVL game was one of the best games of the 2017 SCC season... I'm surprised you didn't start the position from 14. e5! where he sacs the bishop on e7 to 1) infiltrate on the back rank, 2) shut down Black's counter play, 3) improve the prospects of his Knight by vacating the e4 square and heading for the outpost on f6. Then there was the doubling of the rooks on the e file, instead of on the d file which wins the c8 Bishop outright, but sets up the exchange sac which led to the position as you picked it up. I know you love Harry the h-pawn, and 24. h4! was a very nice cherry to this game, but I think you left out the most interesting bits of this amazing game. Anyway, thanks for this awesome Top 5 series!

[@masterclass4277]

Simon: How long did you prepare for each of these moves? Grischuk: My whole life.

[@peter_nortje]

Grischuk is extremely calm under pressure but he allows himself getting in time trouble. That may be his ultimate weakness.

[@al97093]

Should be renamed “top 5 moves perceivable by general public”

[@None-zv2qk]

Yeah most of these are just puzzle rush. For example last one is honestly a really simple tactic

[@Ash-rx5wl]

@@None-zv2qk yes but these moves don't tend to come so easily during games cuz in puzzle rush, we have that frame of mind and also, we already know what the result of the puzzle rush should be, as they pretty much say White/ Black to play. But to make these risky daring calculations over the board, if we all general public could have done it, then we too would be playing in the candidates bro.

[@None-zv2qk]

@@Ash-rx5wl yeah but these are not tactics that a supergm would miss in a classical game

[@Ash-rx5wl]

@@None-zv2qk Yup that's what my point is. It's only possible by a SuperGM

[@None-zv2qk]

@@Ash-rx5wl no but I'm saying these moves aren't really that notable for them. If a 2300 found it it would be impressive, but it would almost be embarrassing to miss it at that level, hence I don't think it's that impressive for them

[@joeb4142]

[@markp3351]

Really enjoying your vids Simon!

[@Malik-xp5mj]

Amazing moves , we all confess that he is brilliant player and I just want to say that the series of 5 most brilliant moves is fascinating

[@noxnc]

Big fan of this series. I think a little more analysis of the lines would be useful. I know it’s not the main point of the series but some of us patzers are left scratching our heads when the defensive line we thought ruined the combo isn’t mentioned. Still love the series though. Edit: the rook move in example number 4 was the best of the lot, tough to see.

[@Rikoooodev]

the situation number 3 it's my favorite idea for grischuk .

[@diegodamis4654]

Rb5 just amazingly gorgeous!

[@Sean-fo8kg]

On the third game, I was able to see h4 fairly easily, and I’m only about a 1500-1600 player. Of course, I knew there was something to look for and seeing it in-game is another story.

[@rahul__gupta]

I just love this series.

[@Sugarrushhh90]

Brilliant player. Even more brilliant guy. Love Sasha!

[@e4e6mate96]

Grishuk makes it look EASY

[@talstory]

thank you for this..we don't often get to see G's brilliance displayed, others get more attention. don't think he or Levon will ever challenge Magnus

[@ex0duzz]

Are they going to have a new candidates tournament with radjabov, or will they resume where they left off? Anyone know when it will start?

[@bhaskarchakrabarty2420]

Superb stuff

[@muradmaharramov8219]

Pls, make the video on Shakhriyar Mamedyarov

[@johnaustin704]

I believe another solution to Grishuk vs. MVL (2:58) is 1.Rh8+, Kg7 2.Rh7+,Kf8 3.Rh8# Not as pretty perhaps.

[@avinaashashastry3910]

Suggestion on second game: Should've shown the combination from Rook takes Dark bishop on f8.

Surprisingly I managed to find all the moves. The problem is I messed up the third move in the first clip - calm moves are harder to find.

[@Maverick-qg3by]

Грисчук. Теперь так и буду его называть))

Best five moves of Ben Finegold please? And one of them has to be knife f5. So you have to find one where he won because he played nf5. And one of them has to be a good tactic that he did because his opponent played f3. Or maybe one that he won because he played Bf1 idk. Just do one for Ben Finegold!!

If Grischuk stops playing poker and starts to focus on his training in Chess then he has a chance to qualify to play against Magnus.

[@R.N.S.Baghel]

Please make a video on Ivanchuk's best moves...

[@tushar123k]

In 2.15 game. What if Qe5. Supported by Bishop and pawn. Also stopping attack of queen on black bishop. White Queen now has double attack but cannot move as next move from black is Qb2 #

[@zebra3stripes]

I had to sit six feet back from my computer to practice safe Sasha distancing.

[@jineeshjoseph608]

Superbe...plz post Alekhine 5 best moves

[@natotem]

The 4th is brilliant.

[@ajj2392]

Correct me if im wrong but around 4:55 cant you take with the rook on b8? Seems like black can be up a rook

[@ngoquangthai2099]

Then pawn takes and both your queen and rook is under attack. If you take back with the rook you lose the exchange, so...

[@ajj2392]

@@ngoquangthai2099 oh yeah the queen is attacked

[@SBelaya]

I liked #4 most. #5 belongs to the puzzle rush or to some beginners book, but not in the video titled "most brilliant moves". I myself have played some moves more brilliant than that, so I am sure it would be possible to find something more suitable for the video about Grischuk.

At 3:15 I was looking at Nxh5!? which works except maybe for ...Qb1+ but it still looks quite interesting . . . - j q t -

[@CallACAB93]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing! Capturing the knight with the pawn or king leads to checkmate, capturing with the queen loses the queen without any compensation. But indeed queen b2# messes everything up

[@patrickearlpastrana9006]

Curios I know Barry the B pawn and Harry the H pawn what are the other names for the pawns?

[@sumithabandi5302]

What about vishwathan anand?

[@taco6649]

I found 4/5. The only one I did not Catch was the discombobulate one. I thought more about about the avance of the pawn, that offers a better position for white, I considered too destroy thr conections of the rooks with the idea of winning, but maybe I conditionated myself too much when I heard, "Not really easy to see" so I stop to look there, take notes taco. Follow your insticts.
