    Hey Jerry, great analysis and presentation as always. I just wanted to give some positive feedback about the ending sequence. I've always enjoyed seeing the move quality graph at the end of the games, and just wanted to say the inclusion of the small analysis board which demonstrated the lines you were referring to while going through the graph really helped conceptualise the mistakes Navara made. Cheers for the video mate!

      Are you seriously implying that agadmators coined the term "water from a rock"? Google is your friend. Try it some time. Exodus 17:1-3, 5-6 circa 4000 BCE. That kind of predates anything on TH-cam.

    I looked at a game that I played on lichess last year and it was clear to me that I had made significant progress since then.
    I was seeing that I had traded my good bishop for a bad one, that I wasn't bringing my king to the center in the endgame, etc.
    All these things that now I see, I see them thanks to you.
    Your videos are highly instructives for a lot of people.

  • @AlexZorach
    @AlexZorach 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This game fascinated me in that the queen sacrifice happened pretty early, and then a fair amount of simplification happened and the material difference was only made up quite a bit later. I'm always fascinated by these games that show the importance of efficiency, mobility, and positioning of pieces, to where they overcome material differences. What white lost in material he made up for in utilization. I especially appreciate how you drew attention to how white consistently kept his pieces defended in the late-game, and how you showed how that made a difference. Some of these grandmaster games are WAAAY over my head because the combinations run too deep for me to follow them, but you managed to make this game accessible in a way that I felt like I was able to get a lot out of watching it, and I really appreciate that. Even though I never will reach the level of these players, I can still take something out of this game and its commentary and apply it to my own playing.
    One open question I had here was: how far ahead did he see when he made this sacrifice? He couldn't have possibly seen all the combinations out to the full depth that they played out, but rather, looked at the position and gambled that it was worth the sacrifice for the better mobility. It's pretty easy to see how well-utilized his pieces are after he makes that sacrifice. What makes a truly top-notch player though is one who correctly estimates whether or not the gain is worth the loss. That's always what I struggle with. I can see what I'm giving up, see what I'm gaining, but can't do a great job of balancing one against the other.

    I am in awe of how Carlsen played that endgame. With those big pieces still around, there is always the possibility of big mistakes .. which is what happened. In the finale, my small chess mind missed the beautiful f4, exchanging the e-passer for the more remote g-passer, which Carlsen probably saw as being decisive right back on move 55. These guys play like gods!

  • @JohnDoe-vz7ff
    @JohnDoe-vz7ff 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    15:48 : Qc2 was a blunder. The best move was Kh6 according to Stockfish. That's why it evaluated this position so poorly given the outcome; it was assuming that black would make that Kh6 move and not Qc2. Before this move evaluation was 0.00. After Qc2 it was +0.52 for white at a 45 depth. Black's next move, Qd3 was also a mistake. Best move was Qd1 apparently. Before this move we sit at a +0.52 evaluation, after we sit at a +1.2 evaluation. Edit: at 16:07 you actually recognize this. By staying trained on the a4 pawn a draw is pretty much inevitable. Kh6 would be the move of choice since it's pretty much the only available move for black.

    In your videos, could you include the pieces that each player is up. For example, early in the opening Lichess would record Carlsen being up a knight and Navara up a bishop. Its not necessary but would be helpful when you're delirious early in the morning.

    Hey Jerry, I've been watching a lot of GM Ben Finegold's lectures and he heavily presses that the queen and bishop is far superior to the queen and knight. Obviously position is unique, but in general this is his stance and I've found in your previous videos that you seem to favor the queen and knight pair, would you mind going further into detail? The only difference I can think of is the bishop generally has more squares to observe and can attack from a distance, making it easier to safely coordinate with the queen. However, I also see how the knights unique movement can help secure squares with the queen that a bishop and queen would have trouble controlling. I suspect my thought process is entirely wrong, so any advice would help. Thanks for the videos, you help a lot of people.

    4:40 material point wise it’s kind of a pawn sacrifice for faster and more coordinated development

    Rather new to chess, but can someone explain to me the problem with playing queen to A4 at 1:05

    At 3:12 Black plays e5 threatening the white Knight on d4. Can White take the pawn with Knight Nxe5 because if the Queen recaptures Qxe5 the white Knight on d4 can fork bishop and Queen and with g3 and Bf3 white can force the Black Queen from defense of the Bishop and win both the strong bishop back and a pawn also?

    16:40 Q takes knight, rook takes, king takes? Is that a draw?

    I would love to know your (or anyone else who is qualified) thoughts on the likely point to which Magnus saw ahead when he decided to sac the queen. I'm sure even he wouldn't have seen up to the "fortress" point with rook and knight against queen. But up to where would he have calculated to conclude that the queen sac was viable? Thanks for a great video as always.

    So a little late to this and I'm definitely showing my ignorance of chess, but on move 23 why would Navara recapturing with the Queen (Qxc7) be game over with Carlsen move 24 being Ke7? Like what's the sequence after that mates? Or it's basically game over since Carlsen would be up a Minor piece having forked the Navara's Queen and King?

  • @Flo-vc9wu

    At Move 11 for white you say that white places an emphasis von development - if white plays c6 though (an option you mentioned Jerry), doesn't that come with a tempo and if black recaptures you are not worse off when castling on the 12th move?

    • @Flo-vc9wu
      @Flo-vc9wu 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Is it mainly due to the fact that a black pawn on c6 restricts the white knight, that c6 isn't played by white?
