@Azazelmorrow In this particular video, they are solving especially complicated puzzles, taking time, and making mistakes. Unlike the others, he didn't say the exact moves
in terms of tactics, Hikaru and MVL arguably better than Alireza. These two are well known at puzzle rushes. Positional play, on the other hand, Alireza likely very close to Magnus.
@@gerrycrisandy2425 what makes you say he's close to Magnus in positional play? I've literally only ever heard Alireza referred to as a tactical player.
IAN is demonstrating classy soviet style of solving puzzles. He tries to solve them in his head without touching the pieces. Our coaches used to punish us for touching the pieces😄
The difference between daily puzzles and this, is that daily puzzle players sac their queen on h2, and when it fails, they give the knight check on h3, then they sac their rook, and it works, and then they try a bunch of other moves for the 2nd move, use a hint, try a bunch of other moves, use a hint, try moves, use a hint, find mate in 1 with the knight and say it was easy and that it only took them 4 attempts (the amount of times they failed excluding hints and the fact that they have a checkmark telling them whether the line is right or not) Edit: Not to mention that the title practically gives the puzzle away half the time, if not the key idea.
not surprised by MVL he has done over 12k puzzles only on lichess with a rating of 2900, nothing special but if he is doing all that on lichess you assume he has done alot of them offline
@@sgcal-cm2vb are you stupid? there is another video on youtube of Wesley doing insane puzzles blind. You should look that up because Wesley is amazing at that stuff
I sat there thinking, im gonna solve this. Im just 2100 lichess but I'll do it. I gave up after 2 mins, after having just checked out g4. I couldn't even get Ne8. The fact that Ne8 was the least impressive move in that.....wow. The fact that internet clowns troll these very GMs because they lose games is insane.
@@daniellige5311 Stockfish depth 27: Qg3+ Ka8 Qe3 b5 Rc1 it's like a pointless line. White becomes more solid... that's it. That's the whole line. Ian was totally right.
In good form, Alireza is number one, his chess is insane, the others just stick to the solid rules of chess, this guy has pure talent and creativity... By the near future, he becomes unstoppable
@snide1574 @snide1574 levon has twice Alireza's age!!! The fact that Alireza is the most creative chess player doesn't mean the others don't know anything about creativity! Levon has been magician of chess for so many years, but he is also ready to pass the crown to the Rightful successor
On the 3rd puzzle the person giving them the puzzle tells Alirezza “that was the perfect move order” then Levon does a different move order and the same guy says “that was the perfect move order.”
Puzzle 2: 1. Qg3! Ka8 (is "obviously" winning?) requires 2. Qe3! Qg6 3. Rd2! Rc8 4. Be7! Otherwise its a draw or black is winning. Probably obvious for these guys but me and my small brain are still befuddled by that position.
Thw difference between Alireza and some other super GMs in the way they approach chess is so evident in this short video. You can see several people almost trying to remember patterns instead of imagining them, while Alireza does the opposite. This is also why Fischer ended up creating the Fischer random to counteract the predominance of theory in chess.
Your comment doesn't make sense. Alireza holds multiple puzzle records, he's a puzzle expert. He definitely holds more chess positions in his head than the other super gms in the video simply because of playing more puzzles. He's definitely more analytical than imaginative.
@Frog-2001 Firstly your argument is based on itself. You infer Alireza is a puzzle record holder so any puzzle he wins in the future is because he remembers puzzles done successfully in the past. That's not conclusive, maybe he holds those records because he's actually more imaginative and quick thinking than many super GMs, which is what my comment was about. Anyway I'm not comparing his analytical side to his imaginative side, I think they're both strong and actually rely on each other. All chess players hold a lot of theory in their head, you can't be a super GM without that. But I'm highlighting Alireza's intuition and out of the box thinking ability here, imagination and analysis both derive from memory but talent is when you're so good that you combine imagination, analysis and memory into second nature.. something people call intuition. And I think Alireza has that much more than many super GMs.
Guys, please help me with something: on the 3rd puzzle, why not just play pawn to g4, then bishop to f5? Wouldnt it be a much simpler and faster check-mate?
Puzzle 3: I think there is a better solution which is to play the pon to g4 check the only move is king to g6 then check mate with bishop to f5. Someone answer me is it check mate or settlement?
I only got the 3rd one after about two minutes, very beautiful puzzle. 2nd one seems to be the hardest one as the moves after Ka8 or Kc8 are counterintuitive.
feels a bit refreshing actually. he's a good guy and fun to watch but you do get tired of the constant bragging and showing off. even if he's wrong he will spin it into something like 'ooooooooooh of course that was so easy how did i not see that'. massive ego on that guy

Since white can't afford to make a non checking move, this analysis is correct.
To me, it actually looked like he didn't solve it:)
@@sabiryou yeah he didnt have to cause most gms/supergms have seen this stuff probably hundred/thousand times.

Alireza : this one is easy🗣️
Tactics are Alireza's kingdom. None of them are close , even magnus
Most probabely the best tactician of all time

Yeah brother u are right these people are just making fun of gms indirectly. Like using a hint or using hit and trial method isn't real in OTB chess
Alireza: It works🗣️
-No one has solved this puzzle before
-A bunch of checks then mate
-You got it
I don't know if its the way the video is edited but, alireza and wesley are built different.
Levon and MVL surprised me as well.
MVL is a puzzles master… unsurprising
Very impressed with MVL. He did as good as the others
not surprised by MVL he has done over 12k puzzles only on lichess with a rating of 2900, nothing special but if he is doing all that on lichess you assume he has done alot of them offline

Alireza is just on a whole another level
@@mntwinsfan1988 bro incorrects the correct response lol
The first thing alireza says is "it's easy"
After an hour
@@antonnovo695 Alireza responded immediately, but to keep the answer unclear for viewers, they showed it at the end
He solved it instantly you muppet
This shows why alireza on good days is undoubtedly top 3 in fast time controls
Alireza is number 2 on most days in faster time controls, and at worst number 3
More of Wesley please like a lie detector test would be awesome.
The problem is he got nothing no lie about lmao
"Do you believe in god"
He be worshipping god during the lie detection test.
Wesley has a such good heart. He complimented two as beautiful.
I love the way wesley laughs when he finds the solution. shows how much he loves chess.
Nepo is the chillest human-computer of all time.
Wesley So got the first one so fast
That he has enough time to complement the puzzle and think of a way to make it a draw
Nepo seemed a little cranky in this video
Magnus even ditched them😂😂😂
He doesn't like doing puzzles
Puzzle 3 was for aliens tbh, I went through many lines couldn't make it, Super GMs are built different

7:58 his instinct to get better out of chaos that everybody talks about
5:45 i analysed the ka8 idea from nepo with stockfish and theres no mate so why dont they make the best move as black
What's the line after? That's what I was thinking too
@@daniellige5311 Stockfish depth 27: Qg3+ Ka8 Qe3 b5 Rc1 it's like a pointless line. White becomes more solid... that's it. That's the whole line. Ian was totally right.
Add the GM names, it'll help new people getting into chess to know top GMs and people to look up to
I didn't know 2 of them and I would really have liked names in the video.

Meanwhile magnus not even trying to solve this because he doesnt likes them😂...
Wesley is so cute❤❤
having title cards for the names of the GMs would be awesome for those who may not know them by their faces (me). keep up the good content though :)
Second puzzle is misleading. Why would black play kc8?
Qg3 check, Ka8, Qe3.
GM Maxime was correct.
I saw this exact line and thought, this can't be correct? and then they say king moves to c8 and I'm like why though?
@@kiituriisame
yeah I dont understand it at all
Ka8 is "obviously" winning so the tough part is to calculate Kc8
😁@dunezoner7480
Puzzle 3 symmetry was insane wow
The difference between alireza and the other ones ist ridiculous
I am like Nepo after you show the winning moves I understand but I have literally no idea what happens if opponent play something else
Puzzle #3 is from the brilliant chess composer Gendrich Kasparyan. It‘s one of his most famous study!
Tx for choosing this gem;)
Alireza level 👽
6:08 I'm pretty sure they had this has this exact puzzle on a Sunday daily puzzle
The third one is actually crazy
On the 3rd puzzle the person giving them the puzzle tells Alirezza “that was the perfect move order” then Levon does a different move order and the same guy says “that was the perfect move order.”
Alireza is different
If there's a mate in one, I can usually solve the puzzle. If not, I'll just move every piece until I find the right one.
Puzzle 2: 1. Qg3! Ka8 (is "obviously" winning?) requires 2. Qe3! Qg6 3. Rd2! Rc8 4. Be7! Otherwise its a draw or black is winning. Probably obvious for these guys but me and my small brain are still befuddled by that position.
yeah the Kc8 line is more beautiful but the Ka8 line is much trickier
In puzzle #2 after white plays Qg3 check why can't black play king a8 or block the check with queen f4?
The last puzzle was just so beautiful
I know Ian Nepomniachtchi, Levon Aronian, Wesley So, Vincent Keymer, Alireza Firouza and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, but who is the 7th?
Den Lazavik
@@qweirdie Thank you! 😀
The line these players told in puzzle 2 is not forcing
No Hikaru, No Party
Levon slowly becoming my favorite
Nepo is no good at this
alireza puzzle god
Does Alireza own any other hoodie
What day was this puzzle?
in Norway, a few days before Christmas last year..
Ali is the best, Magnus is right
Legends know puzzle 3 from Sagar shah
Take, take, take, take ,take, check, check, check, take aaaaaand check!

Alireza easily the best player in that room
Wesley So is so good. MN super gm will always be one of my faves!
That Chess Board and pieces look EXQUISITE god damn
Am I the only one who clicked on this hoping for GMs to be pranked with literally impossible puzzles? lol that one next!
Alireza is on a different level ❤
I hate the patzers lying in chat about how easy this one is.
Based on the title, I thought maybe you were going to give them puzzles that were literally impossible... because that could be a funny prank
SDGM's are soo good
I'm only a 1400 and I saw rook takes g6 immediately lol
Guys, please help me with something: on the 3rd puzzle, why not just play pawn to g4, then bishop to f5? Wouldnt it be a much simpler and faster check-mate?
King takes h pawn
Doesn't show how long did it take for players to see
whats the bgm anyone?
Hikaru missing
I got nothing right 😂
Puzzle 3: I think there is a better solution which is to play the pon to g4 check the only move is king to g6 then check mate with bishop to f5. Someone answer me is it check mate or settlement?

magnus
#2 why King go into checkmate ? I thought he would def go to a8 after Qg3chack
This was a really cool video.
Why in the world would the black king move to c8 instead of a8? there is no follow up for white if black king moves to a8 in the second puzzle
0:45 those dudes in comments got -7 lol
What happens in the second puzzle if black plays Ka8?
by imposible i thought of puzzles wich have no solutions. Would have been sooo funny
In the second puzzle, how if Ka8
I feel clickbaited. Was sure I would see a puzzle, which is not solvable :D but it is just extremely hard (and cool) :D
puzzle2 most natural move would be after Qg3+ to put king into corner, why put it on open file?
Wdym impossible, i knew it
7:57
King a8 ?
Those puzzle comment section is always so demotivating..
this without hikaru feels incomplete
Hikaru gets most of it wrong 🤣🤣
Hikaru ain't getting better than them
He will mostly count every possible way and execute them one by one until he gets one right
feels a bit refreshing actually. he's a good guy and fun to watch but you do get tired of the constant bragging and showing off. even if he's wrong he will spin it into something like 'ooooooooooh of course that was so easy how did i not see that'. massive ego on that guy
Nope
In second puzzle why king doesn't move a8 after qg3 check🤔
I got only 1 correct. rest were too hard
Aunty Spiral
i don't get puz#3, why can't black move his pawn in the end to check white king, instead move rook down it makes no sense
Where are my men, magnus and hikaru 🥲
Magnus in the hotel room, a little ill 🤧🛏️
I don't understand the third puzzle! Why not pawn to G4 and BF6 ??
You mean F5 but yeah
King takes h4 instead of king g6
Kasparian FTW!
🙄🤔👍 One of the reasons I fell in love with chess and its art on the board. Although I am an expert in configuring chess puzzles in a standard and uniform way.
these puzzles are dumb when they are only checkmates if the one side moves to a specific sqaure.. puzzles should only be forced checkmats
King C8 is not the best move.
I hate when puzzles have an opponent move that is not correct and specifically leads to the mate
Ya the 2nd one is dumb like that
Добавьте таймеры!!! 😁
