I'll always remember him as the Kasparov destroyer.

Thanks Zeth! 🔥

@@JamesCantyIII wait when did it happen?

[@chesstictacs3107]

Radjabov used to be called a prodigy just like Carlsen. He was considered having higher chances in becoming a World Champion one day, but somehow couldn’t pull it off. I remember him being #2 in the rating at some point. Now he is playing at the Candidates in a couple of weeks. Best of luck to him, he deserves a shot to play the World Championship match.

[@nasraddingozalli4906]

I believe Radjabov's Queen sacrifice against Kasparov deserves to be in the this top five moves list :)

[@anissbenthami]

he never sacrificed his queen against Kasparov

[@onnoquinten2944]

The screen shaking is gold. You're really making chess fun by having fun with it. Awesome job

[@academiaxadrezdanielromao]

Impressive Radjabov, chess is beautiful!

[@uzeyir81]

We proud of you @TeimourRadjabov.. You deserve more than your current positon.. You are going to be the next Candidate winner.. We count on you..

[@realityescapesme7588]

James Canty III always bringing that amazing energy and enthusiasm. Easily one of my favorite chess commentators because of his unique personality. There’s not a checkers enthusiast who he couldn’t convert lol

[@JamesCantyIII]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@FirebirdAD]

These series is one of my favourites!!! Thank You James Canty!!!

[@wisemongol]

I think Radjabov is kind of a dark horse. No one knows his real strength

[@williamrobert9898]

it is because he is one of the super GMs who kinda declined after the pandemic outbreak

[@josephthegreat2497]

You commentary is spot on and these games are insane great replay. Value

[@enriquevecerra4651]

Brillantes remates,Radjavov genial jugador,gracias James por el vídeo,Saludos.

[@esaualvarez8121]

So nice watching this video from James FM! A taste of his charisma makes this video so digestible 👌🏽

[@JamesCantyIII]

🔥🔥🔥

[@darrylkassle361]

Yes the man has charisma that's for sure. A lot of commentators in general should study his style they could certainly learn a lot from him

[@mitchlexcelsior1730]

Very entertaining! And congrats for your title that I learned about by reading the comments!

[@JamesCantyIII]

🔥🔥🔥

[@AnhTran2]

I love James Cantù’s video. Lot of passion.

[@HandsOnKnowledge]

Love your videos bro, they are entertaining and insightful

[@Grandcapi]

WOW! This is the only thing I can say!! Congrats and thanks you for the video.

[@overlvlresistant7720]

Hey Chesscom, you should totally make a James Canty Shaking Camera compilation, it is hilarious

[@JamesCantyIII]

🤣

[@threethrushes]

Canty, casually staring into my soul whilst I'm eating a pizza.

🤣🤣🔥

[@RafaelBaptista]

Radja is a Jedi, man. He uses the Force to play

[@cratos_777]

Radjabov great 👍🏻 I am shocked

[@moustafa_1994]

The second one was sick, the effects were also sick 😁

[@heotapgym-piggym2460]

I said "SACRIFICE MORE" when Rf7 was played

[@JamesCantyIII]

🔥🔥🔥

[@darrylkassle361]

All chess commentators should be like this guy. He makes chess exciting. and interesting. There is none of that dry droll and bs with this guy and the special effects add to the overall vibe of the experience

[@JBHACKSAW]

He won some nice games against Magnus in blitz and rapid last year too. If he hits form, he is absolutely clinical.

[@DunklerZebralord]

Ahhh nothing like a Canty video to make my day!!! Say mate, do you have aspirations of gaining further titles or are you content with being a FM? Not that that isn't a major accomplishment already. Love ya man, keep it up!

[@JamesCantyIII]

Always! At a tournament now. 😎

[@williamwilliamson6506]

That was awesome James thanks !!

[@snoozy04]

Great moves, great commentary!

[@waleed8014]

cant beleive that i actually new the right moves

[@ericdias4199]

Simply amazing stuff

[@oceanwaves3746]

Those effects are really good

[@kneelbeforeiskeletor]

I was thinking that he couldn't top the second move, until he broke chess with the last one, against Anand nonetheless, with absolute midgame slappery. + Canty rules.

[@oobleck147]

"You got a little check, that's cute!" 😂😂

[@xTylerSandmanx]

Let's go James!!

[@JamesCantyIII]

LETS GO

[@artastica8522]

The only puzzle vi couldn't solve was the second one. The rest solved bin about 1 minutes or less... Thank you for making this video awesome content James

Big fan of this guy..

[@davidrobertson1980]

Smoooooth James

[@matijaslat2100]

love this

[@crazypomp927]

In that second position, Nb5!! was honestly way more impressive than Qxf2+. I'm also pretty darn proud of myself for calculating #4 correctly. Qxh5+!! seemed to scream at me as soon as the position was shown.

[@ToxaRulit]

Qxf2+ is actually impressive due to the follow up with Nb5, other continuations are not as optimistic for black

[@FRM_Carnage]

i guess he entered the beast mode in those games XDXD

[@99sasanka]

James IS the man

[@adityayogaswara]

Long live James Canty.

[@feysalshiffa244]

I think on the last one white bishop takes pawn on H4 ends on a checkmate too

[@arsenasvarov1400]

i swear to god, this guy is prolly the best chess commentator i ever watched

number 3 and 4 i saw in a instant but the previous ones were not so easy

[@TheFrodoBaggins33]

me here with my triple digit rating feelin proud I saw the #4 move almost immediately. now if only I could see good moves in actual games

[@DonFreeq]

I found all with just 1 stopping (2-nd, hard one) but I have to admit I'm quadruple digit rating ;p

[@Philantrope]

Very entertaining 👌😊💕

[@shardulnewasker2021]

James canty and gothamchess should collaborate for guess the elo

[@praneet_27]

Why does the thumbnail looks like a gothamchess thumnail xD

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

do more computer chess videos, James!

[@ArmyRanger483]

QxP if Rxd4 then the shot Qf2+ if FxQ the BxD4 ++ double check Kg3 Bf2 I believe is mate so K cant take Q so Kh1 Bxd4 threatening Qg1 checkmate so Bb5 e3 and game over however White doesnt have to Play Rxd4 after Qxf4 but instead plays Rf2!! and unless Im missing something I dont see any win for black. Seems Qg4 or h4 is best and white may have a slight edge at best.

[@armenianlies8201]

Amazing. Rajabov is a genius from Azərbaijan.

[@user-os7lf6uq4r]

10:45 queen can take e4

[@gehadmohamed7764]

WAW!!!!!!

[@mark47109]

6:10 and then Bishop e3 he say , but you need to consider What happens after ... Nf5

[@uzeyir81]

Definitely saw that.. But there is Rxe4 attacking to the Queen and e6 Bishop and at the same time guarding the e3 bishop.. James obviously just didn't want to go deeper and get perplexed you..

[@sl2357]

Black Rg8 then White Qh6 immediately?

[@hart63]

Rotted jabov King was safe despite the fact that he never castles and boughtNick never castled either

[@Akira-ct2bz]

I thought the thumbnail said 500 elo at first 💀

[@3unem452]

Funny enough, I calculate the first moves🤣

[@jonasgamemusicchannel3209]

number two if queen takes pawn and rook takes bishop takes than black bishop can just take the queen

[@jacobtarallo7079]

This would be better if, in the last two years, he hadn't gained a reputation as Teimour Drawdjabov, the guy who forces draws against anybody higher rated than him.

[@cagridemr]

2:28 :D

emediately I see Rf7 BxB Bf6!!!

Yeah He Sure does look little alike But Have U ever noticed that John Lenon With glasses Looks Like Old version of Harry Potter

[@ArmyRanger483]

Rf7!!!!

[@ArmyRanger483]

Oops my bad Rxe7+ Rf6 (if Kg8 Rg8+ Kh8 Rg5+ Rf6 Bxf6+#) Rf6 BxR+ Kg8 Rg7+ Kf8 Rxh7 threatening Rh8# so Qg4 Bxg4 Kg8 Rh6 Re8 Be6+ RxB PxR d5 Rh8 +#. Wow That was a long one. That man is a Genius

I seen this right awys

[@wilander1]

At 21:33, I don't see how black loses his bishop that he just moved to e7, or how white wins the position?

[@wilander1]

Oh, I see, white would win the rook on A1.

[@redwanurrahaman8644]

@@wilander1 but better than checkmate

[@ashwinkalra2000]

13:56 , could we underpromte to a bishop there?

[@redwanurrahaman8644]

Then he wouldn’t take the bishop,instead white would take the pinned rook and be up material

[@armenianlies8201]

Teymur is a legend in Azerbaijan)

[@leonardskeonard8237]

You'll be a GM soon.

[@anilkumar-rc9zn]

What man

[@tzviki102]

Still losing but not mate... What if in the last game black goes Qa5 sacking the queen? After white Q×a5, THEN block the bishop, and maybe this will buy black enough time to get away? Please look into this

[@A1ir3za]

DEEZ KNIGHTS?
