58:39 It appears that Jerry missed a cool tactical sequence: *25.Nf7+! Kg8* (25...Rf7 26.Re8+ is mate in 2) *26.Qd5! Bb7* (26...Rf7 27.Re8#) *27.Nh6++ Kh8 28.Qg8+* with a classic smothered mate: *28...Rg8 29Nf7#* [Note: this is blindfold analysis, so if anyone wants to point out a mistake in my analysis, I'm okay being corrected]
My favorite Jerry-isms to channel while I'm playing chess: - Why not? - What else am I going to do? - Let's see if we can scare 'em with this move? - Don't hurt me!
42:32 I haven't crunched all the numbers, but it looks like f4 is at least really close to trapping the queen. Black probably has to give up the knight on e4 to give the queen e5.
Rook and pawn endgames are the most common because rooks are usually the last pieces to develop and so they are the survivors of mass trades early on. Sounds obvious but it’s nice to tell this to new players when they are thinking about what type of endgames to study
Just tonight I had to stop playing out of frustration from my rook pawn end games. I have thrown so many won positions with 1 rook and extra pawns vs another rook and no pawns. I just can't seem to convert. Amazing timing dropping this video, hopefully it helps
Very instructive game when you opened with b3 14 minutes in. I played this opening against Eric rosen a few weeks ago and got demolished but he’s also 1100 points higher rated than me 😂 thanks for the awesome content as always Jerry.
Knowledge about rook endings (both the "elemental" and the "real world" ones) is absolutely essential for any successful chess player. This goes hand in hand with proper king activation in the end game.
Jerry, you're getting lots of rook-pawn endings because you're going for so many exchanges and non-aggressive openings. I love your channel anyways, and your rook-pawn endgames are very instructive. Take care!
1:55 Did White miss a tactical opportunity with *13.b6!?* The idea being to free the b5-square for *Nb5,* forking the queen and bishop. After *13...ab* (or 13...Nb6) *14.Nb5 Qb8 15.Nd6 Qd6* White has the tactical shot *16.Ng6,* with a discovered attack on the Qd6.
1:56 didnt you have b6 Nb6 getting the Bishop followed by a discovery against the queen (e.g. Ng6)? i remembered this tactical motive from your recent analysis of Kramnik vs Gelfand Edit: b6 not b3
@@thesecondderivative8967 no, as b3 comes with tempo on the queen (if they take your knight you take their queen with the pawn on b3) and all other lines win a piece for white, if you have any other what if question/ quesrions about what would happen later down any of the lines feel free to ask
@@zwischendurundmoll3968 You got the terminology wrong. I get it now. You meant b6. Also, can't black just take with the pawn? I mean b6 axb6, Rxa8, Rxa8. (Or you can leave the rooks.) I think b6 loses a pawn. White can just take back with the pawn on the a file.
i loled at your reasoning "lets see if they're scared with this move"
We love you Jerry ❤

It looks like h5 instead of Bb7 would save mate, but nice find!

RIP to the 1900 who was outplaying Jerry in the rook endgame 18:37 and then just gave away his rook.
Fantastic channel. Best chess channel on You Tube. Been saying this for years.
at 58:36 I spent a lot of time looking at either Qd4 or Nf7 and found a neat mate in 5 with Nf7 that would have been a flashy finish to the game.
42:32

Thank you Jerry , these arena games are so much helpful for me and I’m sure for a lot more people out there
Hey, what happened to the little "tink" that usually signifies the start?
I heard it.
Rook and pawn endgames are the most common because rooks are usually the last pieces to develop and so they are the survivors of mass trades early on. Sounds obvious but it’s nice to tell this to new players when they are thinking about what type of endgames to study
Can confirm

LIke how you discuss your thought process and your candidate moves. I needed to develop that habit long ago.
I've been working on king and pawn endgame puzzles. Probably a good time to add the rooks. Nice games and congrats on the 100% win rate
1:52 "I like the endgame with two rooks." A more textbook example of foreshadowing there never was.

your commentary reminds me of the way bob ross narrates his paintings
I've never thought about that but your right! Although I've never heard Jerry naming his pieces "little friends" xD

Nice games!
More videos like this, please. You are the best.
Nice one Jerry! Clapped at the end of some games!
11:00 I really need to analyse this endgame deeply.
1:55 Did White miss a tactical opportunity with *13.b6!?* The idea being to free the b5-square for *Nb5,* forking the queen and bishop. After *13...ab* (or 13...Nb6) *14.Nb5 Qb8 15.Nd6 Qd6* White has the tactical shot *16.Ng6,* with a discovered attack on the Qd6.
You seems very confident about King and Pawns ending, could you make an instructive video on the subject.
I felt you channeled your inner Rosen at the end there... :)
great!❤
Keep posting jerry. I really need your voice right now.
👍
I learned not to take rooks vs queen in blitz today.
1:56 didnt you have b6 Nb6 getting the Bishop followed by a discovery against the queen (e.g. Ng6)? i remembered this tactical motive from your recent analysis of Kramnik vs Gelfand
Edit: b6 not b3
also if queen b8 u win a piece after bxa7
Queen d8 defends everything after b6. If white takes bxa7, then the queen can just go to b6 and pick up the pawn soon.
I'm confused. I thought the reason he brought the rook to the e file was to support the knight. Doesn't playing b3 lose a piece?
@@thesecondderivative8967 no, as b3 comes with tempo on the queen (if they take your knight you take their queen with the pawn on b3) and all other lines win a piece for white, if you have any other what if question/ quesrions about what would happen later down any of the lines feel free to ask

42:31 Isn’t f4 just winning?
The pigs were really going at it in this one! Great video!
Hi Jerry !
Giddy up Jer !!
Every time I'm excited to watch Jerry's video and learn something. And every time I fall asleep within the first two minutes.

Rooks? why not Bishops?
Are you sure about that?? Ask A.I.
It's the Knights that bring down the endgames.
"Decided" or "Decide"? There is a difference.
