Make Video On Vishys Five Best Moves

[@turkiyett0928]

2:25 Nh6 also works e6 mates

[@Andy-cn3kd]

queen can be the rook and bishop, but not knight. Knight can capture the queen without exchange.

[@italixgaming915]

3:20 You don't even need to capture the Queen right away. You can make something funny and beautiful there: Kh8 (only legal move) Bb2+ Qg7 (since Bd4 leads to Bxd4+ and Qf6 to Bxf6#) Qf4 (so now Qxb2 is impossible because you have Qf8+ Rxf8 exf8=Q#) and there White has a double threat: Qf8+ (with the idea of exf8=Q#) and Qf7 (with the idea of Qxg7# or Bxf7#). There is no defence against that. The King is trapped, the Queen can't move and the other pieces are completely useless. All the options fail: Nd7 defends only f8, Rxe7 and Nd6 defend only f7, and Bd4 or Bxf2+ only give one more move to Black (met by Bxd4 and Kxf2).

[@HS-mu8fp]

Winning by knight promotion is freezing cool

[@Samahn112]

second to winning by castling

[@gmsi7d371]

this is more amzing to win with a knight promotion than a queen promotion. because this is part of a tactical forced chekmate.

[@Ulujmf]

Mvl did the same type of mate by promoting to a knight

[@NoName-wz9no]

you mean firouzing cool? :3

[@italixgaming915]

I don't know why but e8=N+ is the first move I thought about ^^

[@Evilanious]

2:50 Simon: The tactical idea here should be easy to spot. Me: fork the king and queen. Simon: No you philistine, you sack a rook for mate.

[@shawnbrasseur8259]

lmao i tough i was smart for seing the fork but i guess im an idiot

[@Asztalot]

I saw Rxg6 but I didn't even see the fork. Guess that makes me a super duper GM ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@HolyNarz]

@@Asztalot wrong time. Go to 2:51 and you will see it.

[@mohdnajib5595]

the knight promotion is just brutal

[@aleksandaraleksandrov412]

Alireza has the self confidence not to play the most obvious moves, even when they are winning, but to finish the games in stile,like the great champions.

[@dr.mikelitoris]

Aleksandar Aleksandrov why do you have the same first and last name

[@aleksandaraleksandrov412]

@@dr.mikelitoris because my grandfather was also Aleksandar, and we take the grandfather´s name as a last name, not all the people do that in Bulgaria, some of the Familys have one family name for all members ,as in the most countries, they didn´t have to change it with every new born child.

[@dr.mikelitoris]

Aleksandar Aleksandrov oh hey that’s pretty cool

[@callmeqt1269]

By the way, it’s spelled “style.” Just thought I’d let you know. The story of your name is pretty cool 😁

[@WeakCoder]

The last one kinda reminded me that a pawn can be turned into a piece other than the queen.

[@orioio5940]

It’s always either knight or queen tho, because bishop and rook are just worse versions of queen

[@matthiasmobius3229]

Alireza Firouzja is the next world champion, can't understand his dislike by various people

[@foisalmahdi]

You literally have 11 million subscribers and only 3 likes ?

[@X00000370]

I also think Firouzja will be Carlsen's major challenger. He has the "firepower" to be the world champion.

[@wadiezaidi8139]

Hes better than carlsen

[@NerdyDave]

Same thing y'all said About Fabio. 😂

[@alienalecnern9259]

Hes not better, but he's still very proficient. His defence can't be broken through and right after that he can push up. As seen here he can predict very far and he can develop all his troops in 2 moves

[@gmnotyet]

@@NerdyDave Caruana is no worse in classical but he is no match in speed chess. Alireza is equal to Carlsen in bullet already at 17.

[@januargumelar3495]

Firouzja is EQUAL to Carlsen if they're at the same age. The difference is that Carlsen is POSITIONAL like Karpov, while Firouzja is TACTICAL like Anand/Kasparov.

[@levfeygelson6509]

#1 - the tactical foresight and complexity is pure genius

[@FlukyChannel]

When I saw this I closed my book and said last video I'll watch.

[@bhuvneshpandey28]

One of the best 5 moves series

[@Sam-bn7jk]

Jez, the first was pure brutality, the second was uncanny beauty, but man, the third was art to me. Love this player.

[@magic_hotel]

"The Beast of Baku" ... and now we see the emergence of "The Razor of Babol". Evocative, violent nicknames are much more fun than "The Mozart of Chess", for example.

[@juankplaysmusic]

Agree, more fun. But Magnus still deserves that one though.

[@siddhantkothari3965]

promoting the knight to lock in the checkmate was brutal! what a move.

[@zarovv5589]

the knight promotion was insane

[@Scriabin_fan]

wow that knight promotion blew me away

[@khaibustos]

This is so much fun to watch

[@akabr7177]

my fav one is obviously the last one which preferred the knight over the queen advantage, astonishing, interesting, aggressive!

[@pfunk_1535]

Actually having a situation where a knight promotion wins the game on the spot is absolutely brutal. His opponent might have been thinking "I might be able to hold this, he can't promote without losing his queen and his knight" and then he just sees Ali slide a knight onto the table and he goes "Well... gg"

[@HeilJake]

2:10 “if the bishop is taken” it’s a pawn

[@gmatsue84]

What? Delete this video immediately!

[@HeilJake]

@Leth Mab, LOL

[@Kmtwolf]

In the first one... instead of e6, Bg5 also leads to a mating attack that combines knight, bishop, and queen

[@musicguitar]

The first game was insane!! Tactics. Tactics. Tactics.

[@tngu4423]

Love the way Ali plays chess -- attacking style. Magnus is obviously a great champion but he does not attack and win games in a spectacular fashion like Ali. A world championship match between these two would the match of the decade!

[@dhruvyadav7715]

Ai is stronger than humans clown 🥴

[@siavashsabet2462]

Ive been saying it for 5 years, the next world champion by 2025 is Alireza, and by 2023 he will be the world blitz and bullet champion!

[@user-ts2co4ov5h]

Let's not forget the Persians and Indians invented chess and popularized it, before it came to Europe !

[@siavashsabet2462]

Perry Indiana invented chess, Iranians invented backgammon. Please dont change history.

[@satarkhan3692]

@@siavashsabet2462 There is no conclusive evidence to claim for sure which nation invented game of chess but we know Persian empire at the old time extended as far as small portion of India and name of the chess pieces are Persian originated even so chess was not invented over night by one person or one group of people it was develop little by little as the time passed over hundreds of year

[@shafqatishan437]

5:38 why can't black play Bc7? It stops white from queening the pawn, and if white checks, black king can move. With black's bishop and rook working together it could easily deny the pawn and rook.

[@ClarkPotter]

Great video. Exciting times.

[@lukasrubin150]

6:00 isn’t rook b8 more crushing and cleaner than rook c7?

actually rb8 allows king to come up and black plays ke7 simply

[@JAYasSYNCOP]

@Ramen Karmakar thanks bro for the help 👍

[@safaldas3093]

The pawn is promoted into a Knight and delivered a check to the black king,there for the king has to move to either h8 or f8 squares, and its forced. The rook is not protected anymore so Queen takes rook will be checkmate. You might think the black king can escape by moving through the e7 square but it is covered by the rook on e1,its just crazy almost every pieces are active to trap the black king!! He is so good!!!

[@kopluss]

very nice lesson .thanks man.
