      It was actually not too difficult to find, because the king had to move, otherwise some pins on the e file always get annoying. But I didn't find the continuation really. Great great game from start to finish. I wonder, at which move Radjabov would deviate next time.

    10. Nd5 was previously seen in Ponkratov-Sharafiev (2013), a 17 move game that also featured the Bxh6 sacrifice. Azat played 10...d6 though, so 10...Re8 was the opening novelty. My guess is that Nikolas was well aware of Pavel's play backed up with some modern computer analysis.

In contrast Nikolas game was ingenious. Apparently he had prepared for this game. Was Radjabov though that predictable? Anyway, congrats to Nikolas and all the Greeks who manage to do what they do with not much support. Thank you @Agadmator for producing all that good stuff for us to watch!

    How did radjabov get that far without developing his pieces? The entire queen side is completely static, having not taken a single move in a, b, c, or d files.

      Black was busy defending and he went attacking without developing other pieces and only using the already developed rook. White also made sacrifices by capturing the pawns that will increase the mobility of his remaining pieces at the same time removing kings defenses making it vulnerable to checkmate by that few pieces of white.

    Radjabov hasn’t been the same ever since he took that long break from playing.

      He beat a prime Kasparov as a kid and came close to breaking the 2800 mark. This was the prime Radjabov I remember…

      ​​@@kovy689I think he wanted to quit chess. But what is a Person gonna do who has spend so much time on chess. He cannot become an Astronaut instead. I think he was forced back to chess. Its like morphy said: being able to play chess is a sign of a Gentleman but being able to play chess well is a sign of a wasted life. I think rajabov was forced back to play chess....... I got all this nonsence from looking at his Foto 😂😂😂

    It's interesting how much of this is preparation.
