This is the only of my sub'd channels with "All" notifications enabled. I prefer quality analysis over quantity uploads and i realise you have a life outside YT. When my phone vibrates i hope it's a new vid from Jerry. Thanks so much for your insight and I look forward to your next uploads. Cheers from down under.
Your videos have personally lifted me from the 1300s to around the 1787, and now I look and see things that I never knew existed when i first started playing and watching your videos
Me some days ago: I find it kinda sad that Jerry doenst upload that much but he has probably stuff to do and only want to show gsmes that are really teachful. Me now: Stop these uploads, I have stuff to do. xD Seriously, I love your work Jerry. I truely evolved in chess just through your videos.
Jerry's videos make me wanna try making these kind of videos. You must be very proud that your videos are very instructive for many people including me
That's why once Kasparov tweeted "Before Endgame Gods have placed Middlegame but in Endgame Gods have placed Carlsen".... Even Legendary Kasaparov knows "Carlsen is God Of Endgame" although Carlsen's favourite part of the game is middle game.
@@benjaminmiddaugh2729 Believe it or not, SLCC is reporting videos with images from the tournament taken by independent photographers who gave permission to the youtubers to use their photos. They're just blanketly going after everyone. It's kind of a scandal.
Given that the photos were taken in their facility, it's not difficult to understand that someone not looking closely might mistake an independent photographer's photo for an official one. I'm not saying that there isn't something strange going on that shouldn't be, but this is fairly tame compared to the other shenanigans going on involving TH-cam every day, and, while it rightly deserves attention, I'm not going to get outraged unless someone with verified images fails the legitimate appeals process. Overzealous IP enforcement happens all the time. The fact that it's rare in the chess community is nice, but it is what it is. Also, as an outsider with experience of analogous situations in other areas, I wouldn't rule out an overzealous legal team which acted beyond their mandate to "protect" the interests of their clients. I don't know if that happened here, but in my opinion people were very quick to blame SLCC before determining whether an independent decision maker might be at fault. The fact that it's a blanket move (typical in such cases) supports that idea, but I don't know enough about the situation to say for sure. Anyway, I'm merely trying to provide perspective and not trying to argue for or against any particular side. I find fearmongering distasteful and prefer the more optimistic "wait and see" approach to these things. While the system is far from perfect, in many cases the people in the right will prevail, even if it takes more time and/or money than it should.
Benjamin Middaugh it wasn’t their legal team... only after their legal team was consulted was the matter resolved. And there is a difference between overzealous it enforcement and threatening someone’s livelihood without verification of the legality, or establishment of the base facts. You specifically claim “I don’t know if that happened here”... yet you’re playing the part of the gentleman defender. The STLCC is not only went after Agadamator (and yes, it was the club and not their legal team), they have also attacked past GM’s who have worked there in the same vein. GM Finegold was threatened by employees of the club (again, not their legal team) under similar circumstances. It’s fair to play devil’s advocate now and then, just have a leg to stand on. I don’t have TH-cam notifications for comments turned on, so I won’t know, or care, if you respond.
It would kill the black rook on c6, leaving it with no moves, as c7 and d6 are controlled by the bishop and any move by the black rook on c8 to free c8 to the c6 rook would lose tempo, now with rxb6 you're improving the rook immensely, putting it on a half-open file where it could pivot with tempo on the b4 square.
Listening to Jerry is calming. Especially when he narrates a game he is playing; his voice takes on a trance like quality, he slows down his speech, there are pauses, silence, space, time, ...a new frontier
From watching the live event, Nakamura was playing quite confidently believing he had set up a perfect fortress. It was only immedeately after Carlsen did his 97th move Nakamura discovered he had a lost position. His only move was KG8, and he was low on time, but was disgusted and did not move for several minutes. Carlsen looked like he had seen this around move 85 or even earlier.
Jake, Nakamura didn't do an interview with Maurice that day. However, you could see from the change in his demeanor and facial expressions after move 97 that he was just like "WTF happened?".
Hi Jerry, I’m wondering when video 27 of the beginner to chess master playlist is coming out. That series has taken my chess game to great heights from humble beginnings in the course of a few years. I used to be around the low 1500s to being in the heigh 1900s in Elo. Thank you for making that process easier with the the Beginner to Chess Master series. However, you would be even MORE AWSOME to continue the series. Thanks in advance. - A fan of The Game of Kings 👑
@2:20 Why didn't Nakamura play 21...axb6 instead of 21...Rxb6 and repair his pawn structure? When 22.b4 then ...b5 followed by 23...c4. Or could it be that this pawn structure is equally vulnerable, for instance by a4 by White?
I believe that it was a major incision point by Nakamura (who stood firm against Carlsen`s strong pressure throughout the game for a long time) that he allowed white to exchange the queens. Before, it is slightly unpleasant to defend. After, the rook ending is against first glance ( 4 vs 3 on the K side) very hard for black, in practical play: The pawn structure really favors white. - That a computer still finds a stalemate ressource for black actually only accentuates the difficulties that black faces.
Agree. Hikaru clearly didn't fancy sitting and waiting for another 50 moves or so. He wanted to force a draw, but in doing so creating more practical problems for himself
26. Rxf7 Kxf7 27. Qh8+ Kf8 (if Kf6 then 28. Qd7#) 28. Rd7 Qc4 (From now on, black mores are just to delay the inevitable) 29. bxc4 Rb1+ 30. Kh2 Rh1+ 31 Kxh1 Bg7 32. Qxg7+ Ke8 33. Qe7#
I just had the gut reaction of bishop takes h6 i didnt know why it was right but it seemed golden though because i cant read i started looking at e5 for a second then rook d2 but that fealt vulnerable for king even though i wasnt sure how so i settled on the h6 sac without seeing the 7 minute read. ( i do this alot in your video pause moments) and i have no idea why they shine so consistently. i wish i saw them in my own games.
Jonatas Vasconcelos If we’re all being honest, very few of us focus on working on our endgames above tactics and openings. It’s less exciting and if you don’t play properly, you won’t need to worry as much about it😃. Recognizing winning patterns in the endgame are difficult and require extreme precision. One variation in a pawn move or a king move can result in all three possible outcomes. When it appeared that Nakamura had established a fortress, I couldn’t see a way forward for Carlsen. At least, neither did any of the commentators and they were already evaluating the playoff between Caruana and Aronian. Carlsen, through hard work, recognizes endgame patterns and pushes for more wins than any other GM. If you watched the conclusion of the MVL-Karjakin game, it showed that Sergey is possibly the other super GM who can approach Magnus in endgame skill. It was obvious to me that, short of a blunder, that MVL had no way to win fifteen moves before the stalemate position. I’ve often heard the term “Magnus Effect”. It’s not magic. He’s not afraid of pushing for a win and hates drawing as much as Bobby Fischer. I like Caruana personally but can see few ways that he’ll prevail in November.
Thanks for another great video. Can I ask about something that happens during the 'queen dance'? It seems that Carlsen has almost run out of time and then all of a sudden both players get an extra hour. What is going on here? Does this always happen after a certain number of moves?
Not very familiar with Chess but you know how you have set opening moves? Are there ever any duplicate entire chess games since so many games have been played? Can two opponents who know each other so well able to produce an identical game?
This game really proves Carlsen's God like end game skills. What was amazing is, after Rxa5, Naka thought it was draw, Svidler thought it was draw, Yasser and Co. thought it was draw, but Magnus knew right then it was a win. He played the next 30 moves in like under 5 minutes! Among all commentators, only the mighty Jan, alone in his basement, figured out the Kb8 plan. It was a game which proved "I don't believe in fortresses!"
I dont know how are you not more popular than agadmator, ur analysis are much better and more interesting, it has a nice flow not many uses of 'aaah,umm,hmmm' or mistakes
It's because Agad is more active, has a facecam and there's always a dog in his video's. I do agree Jerry's analyses are better tho. Besides they played against eachother if i'm not mistaken and Jerry won easily
lichess.org/qa/103/what-is-average-centipawn-loss Basically it shows an average of how much you let the position slip after each move. The closer to 0 the better.
Answered 3 years ago by thibault lichess.org/qa/103/what-is-average-centipawn-loss The centipawn is the unit of measure used in chess as measure of the advantage. A centipawn is equal to 1/100 of a pawn. Therefore 100 centipawns = 1 pawn. These values play no formal role in the game but are useful to players, and essentials in computer chess, in order to evaluate positions. A perfect move will lose zero centipawn, but lesser moves will result in a deterioration of the position, measured in centipawn. This value can be used as an indicator of the quality of play. The less centipawns one loses per move, the stronger the play. These numbers are provided by the computer analysis, which is powered by Stockfish.
Lylt Jerry! But I wonder: why do you seem so desolate during these review video? Instead, in your streaming you sound much more cheerful :D Anyway, great vid as always
Concentrating Jerry often comes off as that or similar by many. In videos of this type, I’m trying to recall many points of emphasis during a record. Additionally, the voice you hear is nearly always after over an hour of attempting to get the presentation how I want. This, as a result, often means a worn/tired voice. And still....I’ll sometimes miss these points of emphasis. Then comes the video edits like the diagram above the graph to make up for the forgetfulness. 🤓 Thank you for your support. It’s not the first time I’ve seen you comment.
15:52, black can actually draw the game. You simply stay at the f file protecting the f pawn with the rook and white can't give checkmate. Jerry explained that white cannot play Rg7. If the white king ever gets on g7, Kh7 is the move to play. King can't get to g7 and the rook can't give checkmate. Kf8 Kh8. The king on the 8th and 6th rank is not cooperated with the rook, and the king on the 7th rank obstructs the rook's eyes to seeing h7 and the king can make use of that.
Harry Wang If the rook ever moves from f4 then Rg7 is perfectly fine since the black rook can no longer grab the g pawn before needing to defend checkmate on the back rank so we’re back to the game ending position no matter what.
The rook doesn't need to grab the pawn in order to get to the 8th rank to defend checkmate. The black rook can go to a1, a2, or a3 and then get to the 8th rank and thus, white cannot checkmate black with the rook anymore
White keeping his g pawn makes all the difference. If black defends checkmate then the white king and rook can just gobble up the remaining black pawns and then you’re up two connected passers with the black king holed up in the corner. If black had time to also get the g pawn and prevent checkmate then black would hold easily, which is probably what Naka expected before he realized he was one tempo too short.
In order to give checkmate, the rook and pawn by itself isn't enough, and if the king tries to pick up pawns, the black rook can give checks. Black can go hunt the pawns easily if his rook is on a8, going to hunt the pawns down. That h pawn is never going to queen because the king sits in the corner, so after black has defended the threat, black can then go hunt down both of white's pawns
As soon as that pawn got to h5 two things came to mind. Jerry saying "King is a fighting piece" and a Ben Finegold saying "oh boy!" while rubbing his hands.
I was able to spot the bishop sacrifice move in a couple of seconds because I love these types of moves. But damn, I would have never had that rook-waiting-move idea at the end even if I was given 20 years

az darksonal I know. I was dying
This move from computer to make him lose in two now lose in one ,like this is the only move to make it ...
Me too lol.
So funny - computer recommends: hang queen!
Carlsen: 97 moves, 1 inaccuracy.

that isnt possible dude. no one can survive 97 moves after 15 blunders
unless u are against a noob opponent like me
he's a world champion buddy..
15 blunders lol
Me: 97 moves, 105 inaccuracies
the don't even add up to 97. Guess you blundered your maths

2:21 21. Rxb6, why not take with the pawn to reconnect both pawns at the queen side?
It would kill the black rook on c6, leaving it with no moves, as c7 and d6 are controlled by the bishop and any move by the black rook on c8 to free c8 to the c6 rook would lose tempo, now with rxb6 you're improving the rook immensely, putting it on a half-open file where it could pivot with tempo on the b4 square.

12:41 why not pawn h7?
really good explanations jerry
At 10:35, what’s wrong with Kf2 or Kh2?
12:52, what the heck happened to the time?!
15:07 why not h7 instead of wasting a move?
Review the Levon game! That was special
Great lesson in Rook endgame .
Carlsen is still a chess God.
Chris Ulfen He beats Naka every time so this doesn't prove that.
5:32 Why not play Bxg8, if bishop takes bishop there is mate in 3, if not then discovered checks?
I am missing your standard chess video please. When it will be the next one?

Not sure what he said at 4:40? Can someone please type it here?
It's a checkmate in 8, that's how poison that bishop is.
That's correct, but how it's checkmate. What will be next moves to checkmate?
26. Rxf7 Kxf7 27. Qh8+ Kf8 (if Kf6 then 28. Qd7#) 28. Rd7 Qc4 (From now on, black mores are just to delay the inevitable) 29. bxc4 Rb1+ 30. Kh2 Rh1+ 31 Kxh1 Bg7 32. Qxg7+ Ke8 33. Qe7#
i dont play chess but i still love this channel
in around 14:33 if the black king goes to h7 cant the rook just go to c8 and if the black king takes the pawn on h6 wouldnt rook h8 be checkmate?
10:42 The sneakiest of stales I have ever seen.
robobrain10000 It’s high up there, no doubt. I’m certain I would’ve spotted it after three weeks of analyzing the position.
Jerry you are just the best, and you have a great radio voice.
You should put the names of the people playing by the times.
I just had the gut reaction of bishop takes h6 i didnt know why it was right but it seemed golden though because i cant read i started looking at e5 for a second then rook d2 but that fealt vulnerable for king even though i wasnt sure how so i settled on the h6 sac without seeing the 7 minute read. ( i do this alot in your video pause moments) and i have no idea why they shine so consistently. i wish i saw them in my own games.

ON move 21 why not take with the pawn?
Engine analysis is interesting but what is the blunder for Nakamura ??
g5 and Kg8
After watching this video, my friend Carson walked by, and I accidentally called him Carlsen. He didn't even notice.
fugiapple96 Hell, I’d change my name to Carlsen if I thought it would improve my play.
why aren't there tiebreaks?
Not very familiar with Chess but you know how you have set opening moves? Are there ever any duplicate entire chess games since so many games have been played? Can two opponents who know each other so well able to produce an identical game?
How can anyone not love this game, so many chess "principles" can be applied to the business world and to life itself!
What am I missing? After black move 24 e5 why not bishop takes pawn?
This game really proves Carlsen's God like end game skills. What was amazing is, after Rxa5, Naka thought it was draw, Svidler thought it was draw, Yasser and Co. thought it was draw, but Magnus knew right then it was a win.

I had a very good day today...and it was all because of you :p
@ChessNetwork That's a Clockwise walk, not CCW!
Doh! Yet another blunder :)
If a 2400 says it's counter-clockwise, then it's counter-clockwise.
It really bugs me the way the top of the board is chopped with no border.
So why 21... Rxb6 instead of axb6 fixing the black pawn structure??

Harry Wang If the rook ever moves from f4 then Rg7 is perfectly fine since the black rook can no longer grab the g pawn before needing to defend checkmate on the back rank so we’re back to the game ending position no matter what.
The rook doesn't need to grab the pawn in order to get to the 8th rank to defend checkmate. The black rook can go to a1, a2, or a3 and then get to the 8th rank and thus, white cannot checkmate black with the rook anymore
White keeping his g pawn makes all the difference. If black defends checkmate then the white king and rook can just gobble up the remaining black pawns and then you’re up two connected passers with the black king holed up in the corner. If black had time to also get the g pawn and prevent checkmate then black would hold easily, which is probably what Naka expected before he realized he was one tempo too short.
In order to give checkmate, the rook and pawn by itself isn't enough, and if the king tries to pick up pawns, the black rook can give checks. Black can go hunt the pawns easily if his rook is on a8, going to hunt the pawns down. That h pawn is never going to queen because the king sits in the corner, so after black has defended the threat, black can then go hunt down both of white's pawns
As soon as that pawn got to h5 two things came to mind. Jerry saying "King is a fighting piece" and a Ben Finegold saying "oh boy!" while rubbing his hands.
Can u start your next video like Bob Ross? "Hello and thank you for welcoming me into your home." XD
Does Magnus ever lose?
I have a Question, it is true that Nakamura is weaker in higher time controls compared to other GM's?
game reminds me of capa vs tartakower
what a game
6:51 "Dancing Queen"
That was a nice game! I think
MC is a mover and shaker.
stalemate can be dodged pretty easily: Kf2, it's okay to give up the h pawn, and white has a more active rook, e5 might fall.
I was able to spot the bishop sacrifice move in a couple of seconds because I love these types of moves. But damn, I would have never had that rook-waiting-move idea at the end even if I was given 20 years
Is it true I feel fischer game its more easy to digest...curent game so tough
