Forgive the audio issues in this video. I'm in the process of making some adjustments with my setup. Thank you again for your support of this channel. 💗
Bad play by White in opening, thought he was going to try reversed French, surely even amateurish idea of an early Q-Side fianchetto would be better, I'm an unorthodox low graded player, but Fabiano must come up with something better against The King's Indian or open E4!
First time I’ve seen your videos. What a great analysis. Love the way you explain variations and ideas without confusing everybody. Very clear voice too. Can’t wait for your videos of the WCC
I am continually impressed by your ability to explain complex positions concisely, with concomitant alternate lines reduced to (what then seems to be) the obvious. If I had the opportunity to avail myself of your teaching, and you were of a similar mind to provide it, I would seek your guidance and insight, convinced thoroughly in your skill to craft in me the better player lurking somewhere within. Thanks for this video, and for all of your ongoing efforts to distill the complications of chess to their essential constituents.
I think you are the best commenter around here. Your explanations are deeper and more accurate than many other's. I do enjoy them and I actually learn from them.
such a peaceful comment section, I feel like Jerry not only is providing top analysis, but also encouraged this kind and passionate chess community on youtube. thanks everyone
After watching all the Caruana's games from the candidates tournament, I thought that was some of the best and most creative chess I've seen. This game shows that it goes both ways though. I can't wait to see the championship!
thanks for the continued videos Jerry. you're the reason why I continue to still play. I did have a question for you. how long did it take you to achieve your NM title? do you recall at what age you were 1400, 1500, 1800 then to 2200? I'm just curious if you had steady chess growth as you got older or did you ever have any slumps and what did you do to break out of them?
Great analysis as always Jerry. I'm sure Carlsen will go back over this endgame and see what could've been. Maybe we'll see similar fighting draws in the WCC. Hope so!
I know the meat of the analysis was in that wild endgame, but I think you could have gone over some of the moves a little slower with some light explanation. Thanks for all the great content Jerry! Huge fan
Stef SK En passant. If a pawn moves 2 spaces on its first move so that it is on the same number file as a pawn on the opposing side, then the opposing pawn will be able to take it diagonally. Sorry if my explanation is not clear.
Jerry. I love in Trinidad and Tobago. If I make a trip to the US, is like to meet and play a game of chess with you. I'd probably be defeated in 15 moves. But I'd just like to say thanks for all your videos. You're a gem on there internet and TH-cam videos. Many thanks. 😊
Hey Jerry - love your videos. They've really helped me to grow as a player. Out of curiosity, what software do you use to display the positions for your videos? I've always been curious and I can't seem to find anything similar to what you use for your videos.
Question for Jerry: I'm new to chess and it absolutely defies me. However, I set up a board at lichess.org with the endgame you propose and have been playing Rook to h7 against the computer (Stockfish AI level 8) for hours. Each time, the computer plays Rook to c5 the very next move and everything falls apart. No matter what I do, I lose. The white Rook on c5 prevents a7 from advancing. Rather than checking the black King, c5 prevents any progress other than the white King munching on Pawns and preventing interference by the black King. In every variation I try, white's Rook eventually lands on h3 to prevent interference from the black Rook. Am I doing something wrong, or is this actually a winning position for white?
(Analysis at 17:34) I had a question about the star-move and why black didn't go e2 for a check but then I realized this is what would have happened: Re2. Kd3. At this point, if black promotes c1, white does Ke2, and black loses the Rook. OR BACKTRACK: black promotes c1. Q isn't defended. White takes Q with Rc1. Now black is left with King @ b3, Rook @ e2 and Pawn @ a7, whereas white is left with King @ d3, Rook @ c1, Pawn @ g4 and Pawn @ h5. Keep going: black's Rook @ e2 has to move or captured by white's King @ d3. Let's say Rg2. Then white goes Rh1. White's file h Pawn is defended all the way. Don't forget, black's file a Pawn is at least 6 moves from promotion and can be taken by white's Rook or fresh Queen. White's Rook or file h Pawn will have taken black's Rook at that point. Then, black's King is alone and white has King, Queen, and Rook for an easy checkmate. And even if black's rook wasn't taken, white would have the advantage with a King, Queen, Rook vs black's King, Rook, Pawn.
For the first star move pop quiz, I would say that rook e2 would be a good move. Its check, the only move for white queen is to take e3. Then c2 promotes. Most likely a loss of the rook, but white has a queen. The star moves you pointed out were most likely better.
looking forward to the Championship match. I'm not a fan of classical chess as i'm not a fan of the long time controls. But i think if anyone will dethrone Magnus it will be Caruana imo. I will definitely be keeping an eye on the matches.
I like both of these players, but I have to wonder, Jerry.... Do you think Fabio can win a 12 game match against Magnus? Magnus seems unbeatable in a long match! Should be fun to watch tho....
I think Magnus has very favorable odds in this WC, the betting odds on Fabi from my understanding are quite low. He is a good player, but Magnus has been soaring recently, it will be a tough match for Caruana but I think it will be exciting.
Caruana is white? Or black? It was unclear in the beginning (you did mention but I forgot). It would be nice if their names were written next to their side near the board. Great work Jerry!! Love your channel! #suggestions
Would Have, I did try to look it up on the internet, but I couldn't understand what it really meant. I am a beginner, so I haven't got much information about it.
Jerry, I know you said in reply to someone else that you were "streamlining" your layout or something and that we can always see from the title who is white and who is black, but the names weren't distracting at all and this is honestly just a little bit of unneeded aggravation. I watch videos fullscreen, often with autoplay. And although I do often give you my undivided attention, like many of your viewers, I also appreciate having you on as soothing background noise, only to periodically stop whatever it is I'm doing when I get frustrated and pay attention to the game. And in these moments having to get up and cross the room to find out (or remind me) which player is which color is... kinda a drag. It's your channel, man, and I guess at the end of the day it's not the end of the world. I just don't think anyone else here is actually in favor of this change.
Oh, my bad. Could have sworn I read a reply to another vid where you said it was an intentional change. Might have been something you said below an older vid, maybe. Or I am just hallucinating things.
Forgive the audio issues in this video. I'm in the process of making some adjustments with my setup.
Thank you again for your support of this channel. 💗
When are you streaming on lichess??? Pls do .... It's great watching you, and maybe even an announcement video
I'd support Chessnetwork if you had to communicate with me via Morse code.
Best chess channel!
This game was nuts, looking forward to your analysis of the championship later this year!
Me too. If there were front row seats to Jerry's analysis, I'd be buying them now.
Bad play by White in opening, thought he was going to try reversed French, surely even amateurish idea of an early Q-Side fianchetto would be better, I'm an unorthodox low graded player, but Fabiano must come up with something better against The King's Indian or open E4!
This is one of the only chess channels that analyzes in-depth with a good balance of positional ideas and tactical shots. Nice work.
Jerry, please put the names in the layout (not just in title). The last video setup from the candidates was perfect. Thanks!
Best graphics and the best teaching voice on TH-cam. Great work Jerry, keep it up
Watching this, right now, after the WC, am scratching my head like "These guys are the draw masters" That's a real preview of what it was.
I thought Caruana is done when Carlsen got 2 connected passed pawn, but he defended it very nicely. And the star move! ugh...
I miss your analysis.
I come back to your old videos rewatching them and they still give me alot to learn.
Thanks Jerry. Excellent video again.
Jerry that was so smooth, your analysis is always on time, great tempo :) and very sophisticated game
First time I’ve seen your videos. What a great analysis. Love the way you explain variations and ideas without confusing everybody. Very clear voice too. Can’t wait for your videos of the WCC
So excited for the upcoming Champion match! Rooting for Caruana, really had a solid showing this year
chess is great
Ditto
Jerry, you're great.
Chess is great, because chess is good.
only if I win
Lol was that a reference from Tokido?
Really clear and instructive commentary...learned a lot here.
Oh man , what a game ! And awesome analysis ! Enjoyed that one
Nice video Jerry .simple and fluent delivery .
Thanks for your great commentary on that game
Great video as usual Jerry. You are our star!
Awesome commentary!
Thanks Gerry great commentary and analysis.
That was a really instructive endgame lesson! Thank you very much
Great game analysis sir. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Jerry for this wonderful and captivating review!
Fascinating game and amazing analysis as always. Thanks Jerry

found shakespeare's youtube account
@@momenmoataz7545 Lmao this guy is too into it.
Amazing work as always, Jerry 🖤
Wonderful video and explanation! THANK YOU!!!
Awesome video, thank you
Impressive breakdown as always, Jerry.
great coverage love u jerry long time fan

Great analysis -- as usual. Thank you.
Great Video Sir! 😃👍
such a peaceful comment section, I feel like Jerry not only is providing top analysis, but also encouraged this kind and passionate chess community on youtube. thanks everyone
great vid, as usual!
Very good analysis, thanks.
I haven't been around in a long time, this encourages me to play again!
Do it!
Definitely not Spam stop spamming
2:14 couldnt caruana move his knight to e6 there or would it be a bad move?
BBGaming&Tutorials Black's White square Bishop is watching e6. Essentially a free piece for black.
Just breathtaking, can't wait until november
Let’s get the computer analysis in future games! Always interesting to see
Great insight as always Jerry!
Great video
Very instructive, as always.
After watching all the Caruana's games from the candidates tournament, I thought that was some of the best and most creative chess I've seen. This game shows that it goes both ways though. I can't wait to see the championship!
Really well explained in detail. Thanks :)
I learnt a ton of end game stuff here - thanks very much.
The move which the pawn took on 1:52 is called??
Vibhav Vashishtha En passant I believe
thanks for the continued videos Jerry. you're the reason why I continue to still play. I did have a question for you.
how long did it take you to achieve your NM title? do you recall at what age you were 1400, 1500, 1800 then to 2200? I'm just curious if you had steady chess growth as you got older or did you ever have any slumps and what did you do to break out of them?
sanitary103 I think everybody progresses by being in a slump, then jumping up a bunch of points, then getting stuck again, and so on.
Great analysis as always Jerry. I'm sure Carlsen will go back over this endgame and see what could've been. Maybe we'll see similar fighting draws in the WCC. Hope so!
You teache very well man..... thanks...
There is a checkmate in two from move 55 for black: e7 to e2, then d3 to d2
Love the endgame analysis.
Great game this one; so many complexities at the end!
I know the meat of the analysis was in that wild endgame, but I think you could have gone over some of the moves a little slower with some light explanation. Thanks for all the great content Jerry! Huge fan
Carlsen is a genius.. shame he didn't spot the winning move sequence at the end there, though
No human can spot it
Mohd Nagy Exactly. Looking 10+ moves deep in all variations during an end game is near impossible. Not enough time.
Nigel Thornberry also fatigue plays a role
With hours left on his clock? Maybe. But he didn’t have that.
Most of the moves were just obvious pawn pushes though and that rook deflection move must be a very common tactic in endgames
Can someone explain the game time at 11:45 on the video. Why did white reset?
Kurt Menke Forgot what it's called. I think it's when the game reaches a certain amount of moves, time gets added to each player's clocks.
fantastic game! jerry always delivers :D
love you Jerry, happy easter

2:50 ish wtf is a tenpy or tempy or something...?
Tempi = moves th-cam.com/video/c3B34oKM0oI/w-d-xo.html
Nice vid...thanks Jerry
Great commentary. thanks for making me see what was going on. And ... good luck Fabiano.
Thank you
1:52 how did he take that pawn ?
Stef SK En passant. If a pawn moves 2 spaces on its first move so that it is on the same number file as a pawn on the opposing side, then the opposing pawn will be able to take it diagonally. Sorry if my explanation is not clear.
Very educational! Thank you! #subscribed
noted: always promote with checkeroni!
thanks for a great video. one thing i would like to see is the inaccuracies / mistakes count at the end.
Did you get a new microphone? It sounds great
17.39 isn't the best move for black rook e2, check and then pawn d2 mate? Srry I am an idiot after rook e2 it would be king d3.
Great endgame lessons in here!
Jerry keep covering the games from the Grenke Chess Classic
Jerry. I love in Trinidad and Tobago. If I make a trip to the US, is like to meet and play a game of chess with you. I'd probably be defeated in 15 moves. But I'd just like to say thanks for all your videos. You're a gem on there internet and TH-cam videos.
Many thanks. 😊
Anybody know the time control?
Who won?
What is the centipawn loss?
This was a nail biting game wow
what? where's the tell of the tape?
Adam the best I suppose we just have to lichess this one.
Hey Jerry - love your videos. They've really helped me to grow as a player. Out of curiosity, what software do you use to display the positions for your videos? I've always been curious and I can't seem to find anything similar to what you use for your videos.
I love this analysis!
Thanks Jerry.
This game looks very familiar. Maybe I missed your commentary in the opening...was there another game recently played with this opening?
Thanks, happy Easter Jerry !
17:46 why not Re2+
Then Kc1
d2++
Oh... Never mind
Feel stupid
Question for Jerry: I'm new to chess and it absolutely defies me. However, I set up a board at lichess.org with the endgame you propose and have been playing Rook to h7 against the computer (Stockfish AI level 8) for hours. Each time, the computer plays Rook to c5 the very next move and everything falls apart. No matter what I do, I lose. The white Rook on c5 prevents a7 from advancing. Rather than checking the black King, c5 prevents any progress other than the white King munching on Pawns and preventing interference by the black King. In every variation I try, white's Rook eventually lands on h3 to prevent interference from the black Rook. Am I doing something wrong, or is this actually a winning position for white?
at 17:40 doesnt Re2 Kc1 then d2 mate
chrisopher udeagha Yes, but it can be avoided by Kd3; which although would put white at an enormous disadvantage, avoids checkmate.
Would be nice if you clearly stated what player is playing what color.
bring back the tale of the tape!
Why on turn 54 for black why would you not do castle to E2?
Hey Jerry do you think Caruana has enough to beat Magnus? I dont, he's to prone too missing the vital move when it comes.
(Analysis at 17:34) I had a question about the star-move and why black didn't go e2 for a check but then I realized this is what would have happened:
Re2. Kd3. At this point, if black promotes c1, white does Ke2, and black loses the Rook. OR BACKTRACK: black promotes c1. Q isn't defended. White takes Q with Rc1. Now black is left with King @ b3, Rook @ e2 and Pawn @ a7, whereas white is left with King @ d3, Rook @ c1, Pawn @ g4 and Pawn @ h5. Keep going: black's Rook @ e2 has to move or captured by white's King @ d3. Let's say Rg2. Then white goes Rh1. White's file h Pawn is defended all the way. Don't forget, black's file a Pawn is at least 6 moves from promotion and can be taken by white's Rook or fresh Queen. White's Rook or file h Pawn will have taken black's Rook at that point. Then, black's King is alone and white has King, Queen, and Rook for an easy checkmate. And even if black's rook wasn't taken, white would have the advantage with a King, Queen, Rook vs black's King, Rook, Pawn.
You certainly gave your chess engine a workout with this one.
Happy Easter Chessnetwork community! Hope all make it to mass tomorrow to celebrate!
For the first star move pop quiz, I would say that rook e2 would be a good move. Its check, the only move for white queen is to take e3. Then c2 promotes. Most likely a loss of the rook, but white has a queen. The star moves you pointed out were most likely better.
Why not go rook e2 and give check, only move for king is c1, and then push the d3 pawn to d2? And then checkmate???
At what point during the game are you suggesting this combination? If you give me a timestamp I can check it out.
Jacob Dale 17:30
Wow. Many arrows in thumbnail, must be a good game.
what if direct Re2+?
11:45 how did Caruana go from 45 sec to 51min??!?!?!!!!!?!?!
looking forward to the Championship match. I'm not a fan of classical chess as i'm not a fan of the long time controls. But i think if anyone will dethrone Magnus it will be Caruana imo. I will definitely be keeping an eye on the matches.
I like both of these players, but I have to wonder, Jerry.... Do you think Fabio can win a 12 game match against Magnus?
Magnus seems unbeatable in a long match!
Should be fun to watch tho....
Of course. Look how close Karjakin was in the last WCC. Fabi's top elo isn't so bad at 2844. :)
I think Magnus has very favorable odds in this WC, the betting odds on Fabi from my understanding are quite low. He is a good player, but Magnus has been soaring recently, it will be a tough match for Caruana but I think it will be exciting.
Caruana is white? Or black? It was unclear in the beginning (you did mention but I forgot). It would be nice if their names were written next to their side near the board. Great work Jerry!! Love your channel! #suggestions
DAMN what an exciting ending. cant wait for the championship game. i was rooting for caruana this whole time
Hey, Jerry, I'd like to know what average centipawn loss stands for. I am a beginner, and I am really interested in chess.
Max Rughes How about you look it up on the internet?
Would Have, I did try to look it up on the internet, but I couldn't understand what it really meant. I am a beginner, so I haven't got much information about it.
hey look at that the enpassan thing is actually used
Jerry, I know you said in reply to someone else that you were "streamlining" your layout or something and that we can always see from the title who is white and who is black, but the names weren't distracting at all and this is honestly just a little bit of unneeded aggravation.
