First puzzle is great but second one is too difficult for a F R I D A Y :(((

Thanks Ivan. 2/2 - your videos must be helping!

Leeds Leeds Leeds!! And great video again!.. keep them coming

Good video!! My knowledge of scotch game theory ends at Kd8 in that position. I knew position because I always play Qh4 with black against scotch game. So I would have been confused there if i didnt see Kd8.

The bishop defensive move is a bit of trying to have your cake and eat it at the same time.

The concept of overworked bishop (pieces / героини) was a cool thing to learn!

Really cool video today - thank you :)

Ahh great!! I hadn't seen that

I don't think you made a mistake by play Qe5. Under the pressure of the clock, that was the conservative play. Pretty straightforward from there. BTW, congratulations on securing such an overwhelming dominant position. If you have the time, could you post the list of moves in the description section so that we can see how you got to this point? (I have a hard time envisioning how Black managed to get himself into a discovered check position so deep within his defenses.)

Great puzzle! And game!

Keep up the good videos! I love the viewer challenge part

Agree with Viktor - his comment is spot on!

Great analys on the game , loved it ! Please do more video's !

this is the first one I was close solving! keep going

I can consider myself a lucky checkmater 🎉

Always sac the queen !

🎉

What do you think about Hikaru streaming gambling? How much of a sellout is he on a scale of 1 to 10 if 10 is the Bulgarian government?

Terrible night for Leeds and my puzzle solving

Completely missed that one. Great video.

Queen - At e6(black)

I thought of Kf1 but I guess this one is forcing so it's better

You got me with the puzzle this time 👍🏼 Btw don't worry, at least your team is still in contention to qualify directly back to EPL 😅

Yessssss! First time I got this correct. Took me a good 5 mins...but it's a classical right, and I had time on my clock.

Thank you - that was really interesting!!

This is great!! I wasn't expecting that move

Thank you.

Awesome content 🎉🎉🎉!

If I was black, I woulda grab that pawn on f6, without thinking at all - turns out it is a good move haha

If only she saw a mate in 24 in the endgame!

Great puzzle. Any time there’s a puzzle, my first reaction is always to look for a check. After that I was too timid to sacrifice my queen

It's been a couple of years and I am amazed that I was able to solve it 😮😮

Yes this is awesome! Thank you!

the second half of the tournament will be Salimova better half! She needs to listen to you more!

Zhongyi pushing so hard for a draw, when playing white, really does compliment Nurgyul!

What a win! Amazing play by Nurgyul!

Wondering whether the WC Final loss had to do with how Nurgyul played this one - she really didn’t want to settle with a draw and lost in the end 😕

Welcome back Excellent Subscriber! Please upload more puzzles too. All The Best!

Excellent analysis and excellent sartorial choice

can't wait for the matches in GW6 ! go go Salimova

love it

He’s back! 🎉

Good chess bad host

Great one! very useful !

Really good video - very entertaining and instructive. It delves into the complex psychological battle behind simple chess moves. I hope to see more videos like this one - please keep it up!

Excellent video - a great summary of the game and very insightful for anyone trying to improve his chess! Good luck!

Wiki: "Salimova won the Bulgarian Women's Chess Championship in 2017, after which she was invited to play in the C group of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament. In April 2018, Salimova became the Bulgarian champion in section G16 and 2 days later, Bulgarian blitz champion in the boys' section under 16. ... Salimova scored a WGM norm and a second IM norm in December 2018 at the age of 15 in Zadar, Croatia with a performance of 2492. In April 2019, at the European Women's Individual Chess Championship, Salimova scored her last (valid) WGM norm and became a WGM at the age of 15 years and 10 months. She also earned the right to participate in the Women's World Chess Championship. ... In January 2022, Salimova got her first GM norm at Vergani Cup (January edition), after defeating the former world championship challenger GM Nigel Short. In the 2023 Bulgarian Chess Championships, she ended half a point short of first place. Although she tied for second place with two others (both GMs), Salimova was awarded the silver medal because her tiebreak points were higher. In the tournament, she finished ahead of six GMs and lost only to the champion, Kiril Georgiev." So if it wasn't for covid restrictions she was basically ready for the highest levels of chess years ago.
