Narrowc ross A "LITTLE" !? That moron Kingcrusher makes 40 min. long videos, and the reason they are so long is because after every single move, he reflects his own stupid analysis upon the game. "Blabla.. then white would probably go .. .blablalb... and then maybe black would respond..." This is just ridiculous commentary. Trying to predict what could have happened "if and if" is impossible and unncessecary. Best chess game commentary sticks to the point, explains the plan behind certain moves and sheds light upon advanced tactics. That's it Mato is the best !
I am 2 weeks in and cant put the game down. Your videos are very helpful and entertaining in helping me learn the game and the psychology behind it. Thanks Mato!
fantastičan remi. Kao fudbalska utakmica koja završi 0:0 ali ima puno akcije i prilika na obje strane, stativa, vrhunskih obrana golmana i slično. odličan rjetko viđen remi. thx.
I love seeing these games. I'm a big chess fan and I've realized over the years that I really like watching chess more than actually playing it with total strangers on line. Thanks MatoJelic for sharing these games with us. Keep them coming!
The King was forced into those positions by falling for the trap. Had the King moved to e2 when he was first checked, the Queen would have moved to g4 and would have got a Queen so the King avoided that and was forced to the center of the board.
nomibe2911 actually, it doesn't win a queen. if Ke2 Qxe4+, and then Qxa4. It doesn't win the queen, although black DOES end up 2 pawns up and much better position.
I actually started doing these "crazy sacrifice-attacks", sacrificing pieces, forcing the king out of his base to take the pieces and luring him into my own terretory. It's really fun but I managed *once* to trap my opponent in a mate. In most cases he finalle found a save place for 2 or three moves, giving him enough time to attack me. And when I finally had to defend, he had the stronger army to fight back ;) being behind 10 points and still winning: brilliant. maybe I can manage a brilliant draw like this or even a win. But at least the win usually needs missplays on the opponent's part, which is only likely in a blitz game.
Some very exciting games have ended as draws. This one is a classic. A more recent game, Kavalek-Fischer 1970 (Poisoned Pawn Sicilian), is also thrilling, though with fewer sacrifices.
i wish chess could be like this all the time, strange diffirent and fun, nowdays its just memorizing opennings and theory all the way, few masters play like this
this only happens because of mistakes and inaccuracies that makes the game look exciting and fun while super gm nowadays play with 0 mistake blunder or inaccuracies, perfect move all the time which prevents interesting tactics and positions to happen
awesome!!! Best draw in the history of chess!!! Mato please keep posting more cool chess vids!!! you have helped me sooooo much with my chess!! Thanks a lot!!!
The way I view this game is that white made an unconventional opening and black tried to capitalize by making some very sharp sacrifices. White had no choice but trot the King out at that point, so I wouldn't consider that bad play on his part. Both players put themselves in a very precarious situation which left black desperate to continue his attack on the king, and white desperately trying to protect the king and gain a tempo to develop. It was a fitting end that it would result in a draw, as both players went all out and actually played rather remarkably given the circumstances.
why not king to D5 at 3:36? i cant really see much of a good move that black can do to counter that, but i would really love some clarification on why that wasn't considered
Mato, Great fan of you commentary and excellent selection of videos. One question on this game, When the black queen check white position H4 (after white king takes the black Bishop), white could have moved pawn to g3 thereby attacking the black queen and defending the white king. Extremely weird move by the white king to position e3. My mind tells me that this game is choreographed..they the moves are made..
awesome game...your videos are very interesting to watch and learn because of the obvious reason the way u explain....sir,, you sounds to me very clear and the main thing u explain all variations and go to the debt....thank you for teaching us very much
this is the kind of play ending in a draw which even if it happens many times even in a world championship will still makes the players very great players although they may agree many times to have a draw; and which viewers also will still really like it thrilling them.
luring a queen into taking a pawn deep within the own base and finaly trap her there (either so she cannot move anymore or even to capture her) on the otherhand is a bit easier if your opponent goes for an "easy pawn" kinda trap
Because the pawn on the B file does better use if it advances and keeps the white king moving. If the pawn would have captured the bishop, white would have a chance to bring another piece in to the action.
Great video Mato! Bishop sacrifice (3....Bxf2) was not so hard to see coming. But Queen sacrifice (9. Qxa4+) was incredible. Paused the video and tried to find the extremely surprising move. It didn't even come up on my radar! After Nc5+ it made sense. Even knowing now, I doubt I play QxN there. Bold as hell and made for an exciting game!
If white did play kb5 instead of queen sac on d5, black can simply move bd7+. The position can repeat to draw after white move kc4, unless white played qd5.
If you have draws in mind a fine whirlwind of a game is Fischer vs. Tal Leipzig Olympiad Final 1960 French Defense: Winawer. Retreat Variation Armenian Line , worth a look maybe ;)
Games like this were played long ago, today you don't find sacrifices like this! Really good chess to watch, but i wouldn't dare to play like this! Chess had changed a lot!
Mato, i have a question i hope you answer. When the draw was agreed the king repeated 2 movec C6 and B5 and draw was agreed. But couldn't black play, when white king was on B5, King to D7 and even if Queen G4 than King D6 and as you said the queen goes for the charlie chaplin veriaton than white loses rook and there is no way to stop sheck mate from bishop on C6 please tell me if i am wrong. P.S. You're the best. Respect from Serbia!
how about after 1:51 black played d5, white goes Qf3... I think white could (though out of position) keep trying to force exchanges and get to endgame with extra bishop... This was just 1st thing that crossed my stupid chess mind...
This game should be renamed as “Exposing helplessness of the King piece in chess”. For the entire game the white king looked like the most vulnerable piece threatened by every other piece including pawns, knights, bishops and rooks.
This is a strange case of a draw occurring in a game were 1 player (Philipp in this case) is down a huge amount of material. Philipp was down a queen and knight with only 2 pawns as material compo and yet he trapped Carl's king into a draw!
In tournament Chess isn't it a automatic draw if position repeats 3 times and a 21 move rule if they game goes on without a piece being taken? Interesting Draw I agree.
at 5:00 why doesnt black just take the B on c6? looks like black can win then, castle Q side and get K side R and B into the attack on the exposed king?
A draw in Chess can never happen if a king is in check. Draws in Chess can only happen if a king is not in check and there are no legal moves for the player. For example, if white’s king is not in check, and white has no legal moves left on the board, then it is Game Over and a draw by stalemate. Stalemate is a situation that only happens if your king is not in check, but you have no legal moves left on the board. Checkmate can happen at any time, but only when your king is in check. Checkmate is a situation when your king is in check and there are no legal moves left on the board. If stalemate happens, no one wins or loses because the king is not in check. If checkmate happens, then the person who checkmated the other player wins and the person whose king gets checkmated loses. For example, if white’s king gets checkmated, then black wins because black checkmated white. This means that white’s king is in check and white has no legal moves left on the board, resulting in a loss for white and victory for black. Stalemate and checkmate both mean Game Over.
I wish you had shown the variations on turn 17 had it been bishop to D7 instead of bishop to B7. I feel like there could have been a mate in there somewhere.
Black has nothing to check the king, so a move like e4 breaks the pawn structure and allows the King to escape. Then White can develop the Queen and the Bishop and win the game. Black was going for a draw (or a surprize mate) from the start.
Not only the greatest draw in chess history, also the weirdest game of chess I have ever heard of
weird, but makes a lot of sense
Yes but I have played many many weird games
Not until youve heard of Ke2#
Who needs other pieces when you have a king that can draw,
I'm a strong, independent king that don't need no team!
lol
Sounds like Marth before he got his army
"Where are my men?"
"They didn't arrive yet, your grace!"
"Oh, freak that, I'm going by myself!"
lol nobody is gonna rape that king
Good for you
Mato - your voice is holding the universe together
lmao
i feel like if they ever create a wormhole we'll hear a voice repeating, "pon takes pon... pon takes pon..."
+oldfrend
I can't stop laughing!
your presentation is a lot better than others ive seen here, thanks!
Mato and Kingcrusher seem to be the best, but Kingcruscher takes a little too long. Mato on the other hand does it just right
precisely
Narrowc ross A "LITTLE" !? That moron Kingcrusher makes 40 min. long videos, and the reason they are so long is because after every single move, he reflects his own stupid analysis upon the game. "Blabla.. then white would probably go .. .blablalb... and then maybe black would respond..."
This is just ridiculous commentary. Trying to predict what could have happened "if and if" is impossible and unncessecary. Best chess game commentary sticks to the point, explains the plan behind certain moves and sheds light upon advanced tactics. That's it
Mato is the best !
Kinjutsuu Fully agree with you, I was just being nice to him when I said " a little"
Kinjutsuu I like Mato videos best, but Kingcrusher also provides useful insights; not a moron.
white king came to the wrong neighborhood
lol
NX berry nah mate, he was proving himself to be GANGSTA, able to roll with the black pieces and be chill,
yeah..he came to black neighborhood ))
WHITE KING [IN DA HOOD!]
Chess is racist. You always start on the back foot when u black.
I'm a beginner. I have played many hopeless Charlie Chaplin variations myself.
David Dawson I know that feel bro.
David Dawson you might not be the best chessplayer but your comment was far the best i read this week.^^
I am 2 weeks in and cant put the game down. Your videos are very helpful and entertaining in helping me learn the game and the psychology behind it. Thanks Mato!

Ummmmmhhhhh that's my favorite Mato expression 😂
I highly recomend: From Chess Novice to Advanced Player in 7 days.

I love seeing these games. I'm a big chess fan and I've realized over the years that I really like watching chess more than actually playing it with total strangers on line. Thanks MatoJelic for sharing these games with us. Keep them coming!
why the hell is the king walking into the middle of the board in the opening
The King was forced into those positions by falling for the trap. Had the King moved to e2 when he was first checked, the Queen would have moved to g4 and would have got a Queen so the King avoided that and was forced to the center of the board.
nomibe2911 big risk though from black
nomibe2911 actually, it doesn't win a queen. if Ke2 Qxe4+, and then Qxa4. It doesn't win the queen, although black DOES end up 2 pawns up and much better position.
Thank you for your comment
charlie chaplin variation :) anyway incredible game by an ingredible channel keep up the good work!
I actually started doing these "crazy sacrifice-attacks", sacrificing pieces, forcing the king out of his base to take the pieces and luring him into my own terretory.

"Charlie Chaplin variation" LOL
Stannis Baratheon playing white
I've seen a lot of Immortals on this channel; has Mato ever covered the Immortal Losing Game? Because I'd like to hear him talk about that one.
Not only my chess improved from watching this game but also my histroy. Thanks Mato!
Definitely the most exiting draw I've ever seen! What a great game. Thanks Mato!
At 4:10, instead of moving the knight, couldn't black move the pawn to B6 and force check mate?
Thank you for your commpliment
MatoJelic chess video is the best... :) can't stop watching all your videos :D very nice explanation and not boring at all
Some very exciting games have ended as draws. This one is a classic. A more recent game, Kavalek-Fischer 1970 (Poisoned Pawn Sicilian), is also thrilling, though with fewer sacrifices.
Wow! What a fantastic game! Go Black! Thanks, as always Mato.
You are right,King was well centralized but too early to feel comfortable.
The whole time I was thinking "How could this ever end in a draw?"
Thank you for the wonderful commentary sir! Awesome game!
i wish chess could be like this all the time, strange diffirent and fun, nowdays its just memorizing opennings and theory all the way, few masters play like this
this only happens because of mistakes and inaccuracies that makes the game look exciting and fun while super gm nowadays play with 0 mistake blunder or inaccuracies, perfect move all the time which prevents interesting tactics and positions to happen
What a game. Never come across this great game before. Thanks, Matic.
awesome!!! Best draw in the history of chess!!! Mato please keep posting more cool chess vids!!! you have helped me sooooo much with my chess!! Thanks a lot!!!
wow! truly an amazing immortal game. These are the games from the good old times. Totally fun.

mato, your videos improve confidence in me particular in material loss conditions in chess.
Wow! I was searching this game forever!
Damn I love this channel
Love this game :)
why not king to D5 at 3:36? i cant really see much of a good move that black can do to counter that, but i would really love some clarification on why that wasn't considered
Black bishop to E6 would have done the job.
Thanks for uploading. It has been my favourit draw since my youth.
Thank you.
This is very nice compliment.
Your videos are excellent! I wish I had watched them sooner.
Thanks again for your amazing vids.
At 4:21, why is black pawn c6 not good to defend king and threaten bishop?
Mato, Great fan of you commentary and excellent selection of videos. One question on this game, When the black queen check white position H4 (after white king takes the black Bishop), white could have moved pawn to g3 thereby attacking the black queen and defending the white king.

Great commentary. Will you look at another Paul Morphy game?
Black King : So, army vs army or your best vs my best?
White King : My best vs your army!!!
Immortal draw?
LMAO
Some say the moves are still being repeated to this day
luring a queen into taking a pawn deep within the own base and finaly trap her there (either so she cannot move anymore or even to capture her) on the otherhand is a bit easier if your opponent goes for an "easy pawn" kinda trap
Because the pawn on the B file does better use if it advances and keeps the white king moving. If the pawn would have captured the bishop, white would have a chance to bring another piece in to the action.
I loved how you showed the "Charlie Chaplin Variation" at 6:46! That should be an official term for all chess losing moves!
At 6:19 if black played Kd7 Qg4+ Kd6 and I think he must reply Ka4 to prevent mate in 1?
This is how the king should act.. leading from the front.... :D
Great going Mato....
Hi Mato, can you post a game with king walking around and winning? It'll be exciting, thank you
Incredible game
Great game! Thanks for posting.
Wouldn't we have spared that melodrama altogether if pawn blocks the queen at 01:43?
Nice video, Mato. Perhaps you can have a red-and-white board at some point to pay tribute to Croatia?
at 4:48 why black didn't capture the bishop on c6?
7:03
if King D7 instead of Bishop A6 wouldn't there be a forced mate?
Nah, King can escape by a4, b3, a2, b1 i guess
Great video Mato! Bishop sacrifice (3....Bxf2) was not so hard to see coming. But Queen sacrifice (9. Qxa4+) was incredible. Paused the video and tried to find the extremely surprising move. It didn't even come up on my radar! After Nc5+ it made sense. Even knowing now, I doubt I play QxN there. Bold as hell and made for an exciting game!
this match made my day .... one of the best chess match i have ever seen :)
If white did play kb5 instead of queen sac on d5, black can simply move bd7+. The position can repeat to draw after white move kc4, unless white played qd5.
I smiled @ 6:47 "White can only prolong the game with this Charlie Chaplin variation"...
If you have draws in mind a fine whirlwind of a game is Fischer vs. Tal Leipzig Olympiad Final 1960 French Defense: Winawer. Retreat Variation Armenian Line , worth a look maybe ;)
Games like this were played long ago, today you don't find sacrifices like this!
Really good chess to watch, but i wouldn't dare to play like this! Chess had changed a lot!
I bet Mato has the best ratio views/likes ever :)
+cyborg ghost exactly, all other videos are 15~~45minutes long
Its just too much
Mato, i have a question i hope you answer. When the draw was agreed the king repeated 2 movec C6 and B5 and draw was agreed. But couldn't black play, when white king was on B5, King to D7 and even if Queen G4 than King D6 and as you said the queen goes for the charlie chaplin veriaton than white loses rook and there is no way to stop sheck mate from bishop on C6 please tell me if i am wrong.
P.S. You're the best. Respect from Serbia!
how about after 1:51 black played d5, white goes Qf3... I think white could (though out of position) keep trying to force exchanges and get to endgame with extra bishop... This was just 1st thing that crossed my stupid chess mind...
d5xe4+,Qxe4-Bf5... (I think.. I'm not a good chess player)
Congrats on 1,000,000 channel views, Mato. Many more millions to go...
@ 2:11 Why not D4 instead of A2 ?
This game should be renamed as “Exposing helplessness of the King piece in chess”. For the entire game the white king looked like the most vulnerable piece threatened by every other piece including pawns, knights, bishops and rooks.
This is a strange case of a draw occurring in a game were 1 player (Philipp in this case) is down a huge amount of material. Philipp was down a queen and knight with only 2 pawns as material compo and yet he trapped Carl's king into a draw!
6:08 why not Bd7? Does it not win the game for black?
king takes d5 pawn and game is over for black
at 1:43 what about pawn on G3 ?!
at 2:02 why did black not move his bishop to G4 attacking white queen and trading black bishop for white queen?
+Luke Deans white can defend with knight to e2 or f3
Hmm wondering why on 6:25 he didn't move bishop to d7 instead. It would have locked his king wouldn't it?

whaaat a game. excelent video mato tky very muck. i like your videos anymore.
what is your rating Matojelic?
+mario rojas 9821
Pinkie Pie calm down there little horsey.. thats like fischer, morphy and kasparov combined
+mario rojas He's about 1700

hvala Mato bas lepo objasnjavas..koje knjige preporucujes za jednog pocetnika? pozdrav za tebe i sve sahiste
In tournament Chess isn't it a automatic draw if position repeats 3 times and a 21 move rule if they game goes on without a piece being taken? Interesting Draw I agree.
It's good to see a King who doesn't stand back and gets his own hands dirty.
why not bishop to d7 on 6:06 ?
Sasa Palic then Kb7, and if black castles, Kxc7
Can someone explain why at 6:11 black didn't play bishop to d7 because then it's mate in 2 moves right?
Adam Molani because king takes d5 and run away
Marat Yusupov oh that makes sense I didn't see that
Your videos are awesome!
at 5:00 why doesnt black just take the B on c6? looks like black can win then, castle Q side and get K side R and B into the attack on the exposed king?
jasminetomca t well the king moved when bishop checked so black can't castle anymore
of course.. :/ cheers
Mato your videos are awesome... best comment of the game "White can only prolong the game with this charlie chaplan variation" hahahaha!!
Titans from the past are comining up in June after WCC is over.
Right
A draw in Chess can never happen if a king is in check. Draws in Chess can only happen if a king is not in check and there are no legal moves for the player. For example, if white’s king is not in check, and white has no legal moves left on the board, then it is Game Over and a draw by stalemate. Stalemate is a situation that only happens if your king is not in check, but you have no legal moves left on the board. Checkmate can happen at any time, but only when your king is in check. Checkmate is a situation when your king is in check and there are no legal moves left on the board. If stalemate happens, no one wins or loses because the king is not in check. If checkmate happens, then the person who checkmated the other player wins and the person whose king gets checkmated loses. For example, if white’s king gets checkmated, then black wins because black checkmated white. This means that white’s king is in check and white has no legal moves left on the board, resulting in a loss for white and victory for black. Stalemate and checkmate both mean Game Over.
Thank you
I wish you had shown the variations on turn 17 had it been bishop to D7 instead of bishop to B7. I feel like there could have been a mate in there somewhere.
Pump it into an engine. :)
Woah. Calm down dude. I'm not good at chess. That's why I asked. No need to throw insults that dont make sense.
Shannon Ney If Bd7 then probably Kd5 en then king could run away. That's what I have in mind. But I'm not so good at chess either so...
At 3:40, instead of qd5, why not kb5?
do you have the Carlsen-Kasparov game from when Carlsen was 13?
Mato thank you so much for making these videos
Leeroooy Jenkiiinss!!!
Thank you
Hey Mato...the best draw for me is Botvinnik - Fischer....can you show that memorial game???
I don't know about 'the greatest draw in history' but it's a fascinating little gem.
4:56 should have captured bishop with pawn. It is safe by knight. The was checkmate in about 3-5 moves
Black has nothing to check the king, so a move like e4 breaks the pawn structure and allows the King to escape. Then White can develop the Queen and the Bishop and win the game. Black was going for a draw (or a surprize mate) from the start.
Great presentation. Awesome draw
