@@someonesch4361 I assume you mean me. Hikaru is a fake WC (rapid WFRCC not classical WFRCC. Magnus Hikaru & FIDE conspired to cheat Wesley So. And even Nepo Fabi & Vidit.) just as Magnus & Garry are fake WCs too (they are cheaters specifically in WCCs.

Because then h6+ defended by the knight, king has to move to stay in contact with the pawn. But both moves are bad. If Kg6, then Rf6+ pushes the king down as king cant advance back to g7 due to the pawn. After Kg5, h7 and nor the king nor the rook can catch the pawn because the rook is now on B3 and the king is WAAAAY behind... Let's check the second king move, if after Rxb3, h6+, Kh7 staying in front of the pawn and blockading it, then Rxf7 comes with check, you lose an important pawn. Now you have to go way back to the 8th rank and then the rook can grab the c7 pawn, as the black rook is now on the B file and you have to watch out for some sort of knight/rook checks, pawn advances, White will be much faster since the pawn is on h6 and black's passer will only be on b5, after Black removes the rook since it is in front of the pawn now
@@syjwg now i realized you were talking about the B3 pawn lol. Ofc the rook can grab it but i just explained above that it will be losing if black had grabbed the B3 pawn then
#suggestion. Vasily Ivanchuck vs Hu Jun in Luzern 1993. Because there was two brilliant and rare moves in one game which give a victory to one of them. Might be very interesting for deconstruction.
2:35 I am stunned by how EASY a 2802 elo player blundered the castling so EARLY in the game…All Kramnik had to do is capture the bishop with his B7 pawn and not with D7 so that his queen won’t be exposed. I mean its only the next move that his pawn on E5 is captured (the most logical next move) and he will have to move the knight and expose his queen. The GMs usually calculate 5-10 moves in advance.. was it a blitz game or did Kramnik had a few vodka before the game?
Although the game ended badly for Kramnik, allowing the queen trade with loss of castling rights in this scenario is perfectly acceptable. It was intentionally allowed, not a blunder. The same sequence of moves is played in modern times. I won’t pretend to know the nuances of whether b takes instead of d takes is playable at this level, and I’d certainly choose b takes myself, but the whole point of the Berlin defense is an incredibly solid drawish defense for black which doesn’t allow white many chances to push for a win, barring mistakes like what we saw today. An early queen trade reduces white’s firepower as a step toward that objective.
It's all theory and I think you'd quite enjoy the Berlin endgame if you tried it. Not a lot of mistakes to be made in the opening so you'll learn them quickly.
“Fischer is Fischer, but a knight is a knight” Fischer said about women chess, that he could give a knight odds for any woman player. For that answered someone this famous quote.
I have a dumb question. I must be missing something. In the second line, after black captures the c2 pawn first, then the f2 pawn, what happens if white plays Ng4 next?
2nd: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'.

1 - imagine WESLEY SO, THE NEPHEW OF BOBBY FISCHER, wins the candidates and then beats liren and then becomes the 1st ever player to become both classical WFRCC & classical WCC
unlikely unless the candidates suddenly becomes
- classical 9LX
- classical armageddon w/ auction
- both of the above
- knockout (either single or double i guess) w/tiebreaker not rapid but classical armageddon w/ auction
it's still unlikely even if liren drops out and there's a 2nd place thing again. but still a fun thought lol.
1.1
Actually another fun thought is Liren drops out and then Wesley So Vs Ian Nepomniachtchi in both 2024 WFRCC finals if it's classical and 2024 classical wcc. Then people will start to see this is a better rivalry than Hikaru Vs Magnus in rapid chess or rapid 9LX. (I don't necessarily agree with them but Hikaru Vs Magnus has a Wikipedia page. So please don't comment anything like 'Magnus owns Hikaru' or whatever. The point isn't to compare Magnus w/ Hikaru or Nepo w/ Wesley. The point is that Magnus & Hikaru are on the same side 'allies of evil' just as Nepo & Wesley are on the same side 'axis of evil'.)

besides as far h uncle bobby is concerned.
2a - wesley has nothing to prove in regular chess anymore
2b - wesley has nothing to prove in rapid 9LX
2c - wesley has something to prove in classical 9LX if it's next gen. imagine hans vs wesley in 2024 classical WFRCC finals. it's like bobby fischer vs anatoly karpov (bobby fischer vs garry kasparov was the 2019 WFRCC finals, proving ultimately that bobby would've EASILY defeated garry in classical 9LX)
3
ok i've been complaining for 2 years that wesley didn't get a wildcard in the candidates for 9LX reasons even though fabi & hikaru got wildcards in the 2019 WFRCC quarter-finals (equivalent of 9LX candidates) for chess reasons.

but i guess that's now moot.

but still wesley should get a wildcard in the 2024 WFRCC if it's going to be classical (at least 60min) again like 2019 not rapid in 2022 (32.5min).
Or whatever don't give Wesley as wildcard but let all tiebreakers be classical 9LX AW/A and then Wesley So will win the whole tournament EASILY.

finally, magnus garry hikaru daniil, veselin, liren, piers morgan, george bush are bad guys (allies of evil). wesley, bobby, hans, sergey, vlad, nepo, andrew tate, donald trump are good guys (axis of evil).
so they're both evil in different ways: allies of evil vs axis of evil as described in:
ARNSi0cPu60
like tax collector vs pharisee,
like (iran iraq north korea) vs (US UK Japan Australia)

PS
2023 USCC - Atousa almost beat Carissa Yip, the eventual winner!
Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end.
