I was immediately able to think of Bc7 due to the Petrosian game actually, made me realize how much you have taught us all from these games of latest events and old classics!
Mr.King, as soon as I saw Bc7 I thought of the famous Petrosian Bg7 game! :) The variation with Ne4+ and Rf5+ to freeup the diagonal for the queen to cut back and then win the Rook on e7 with a skewer at the end is absolutely brilliant!
Robson its not just a strong GM ....he is a flawless creative attacker awsome tactics (he won many other games in such a great attacing style) .Outstanding game . Very well calculated and prepared .True chess gem :)
I paused and guessed Bc7. And I cited Petrosian v Pachman while my kids listened to me celebrate. They think I'm such a genius (or was it a such a "geek"? idk. same thing)
Wonderful reverse fianchetto at the end. It always looks odd to me to see Petrosian playing White, all the games I grew up with in the books he seemed to be Black grinding out a win from rocks.
Great game by Ray. The puzzle rush champion usually comes up with some good ones. I always root for Ray, but he never quite puts together enough good games to cross the finish line at the US Championships. Shame, heck of a player. Flies under the radar, due to so many other good GM's in the US these days. I did remember the Petrosian game(thanks to you) but it didn't help me find Bc7. That's on me, I guess. :)
I was thinking of KD7 because the King needs protection from its pieces and thus it needs to get to the Queen side. Probably not great calculation but that was my idea.
No lie i thought Kd7 with no assistance. I thought it was the most obvious move actually because that allows the queen, the rook and the bishop to be able to block all the different checks.
It was my first thought as well. During times of havoc I often find myself able to easily break convention and think “what is needed here??” Intuitively I thought it was the best choice, but I didn’t really calculate, and I can’t calculate as deep as those lines without serious effort, so I really don’t get credit. Also, I didn’t really look at Be6, which I would normally consider very quickly. So I can’t say I’d really be able to play Kd7 over Be6, but still my intuition tells me that’s the best move because of the rook blocking the check from f7, which I consider to be the most important threat. (Though Be6 covers that. I could just feel strongly about it because of hindsight bias.)
Because Be6 exists. Kd7 looks like black will never get his bishop and rook out and it is correct. It's playing for a draw at best. But you have to calculate concretely if you are a serious player and not a gamble type.
@@maelstrom57 what then? C7 is a terrible square because white has the dark square bishop. I know people intuitively want to run away with the king. Stronger players feel a greater need for piece activity. But my point was that in this kind of position all intuitive moves that aren't based on (good) calculation are like a sort of gambling.

A game that keeps on giving. So many rich ideas and tactics. Beautifully annotated as usual. Ty.
A great game by Robson, which scares my litle Petroffs playing heart. Thanks Daniel.

I see Power Play, I click, I like...
Thanks for sharing this beautiful game!!

Wow, what a game! Who knew the petroff can give such mad tactical battles. Thanks for the great explenations and beatiful variations!
Holy mother of snacks, that Re1+ tactic was awesome. Well, there were many awesome tactics to unpack here, a great game from Ray Robson.
Absolutely fantastic game. Every move forces one to think. An your analysis always in depth and spot on as well👍🏾
what an incredible game... and from the petrov of all openings.
This is why we LOVE chess! Thank you GM King!
Great game and great analysis, as always. Delighted that I instantly saw Bc7 (@16:08).
This single game will spawn hundreds of challenging tactical puzzles!
Great Game, presented by King Daniel
Absolutely sensational! Thanks
Excellent analysis
Going to give myself credit for playing like Jeffrey Xiong; my move was …Be6. Wild game and a great video; thanks DK!
I played Ke7. But I would have got checkmated very soon. The continuation line for the only draw was mind blogging.
Amazing thank you
Sensational ty DK!

Bc7 reminds me of that Petrosian game with Qxf6 Kxf6 Be5+ Kg5 and Bg7! preventing the king from retreating. I forgot who Petrosian was playing though!
Pachman , great game :D
You should watch this video till the end because Daniel showed that game.
Wonderful reverse fianchetto at the end. It always looks odd to me to see Petrosian playing White, all the games I grew up with in the books he seemed to be Black grinding out a win from rocks.
Amazing how the variationa hang together by a thread - e.g. black isnt far from mating at the end
Good stuff.

Why do u think that is, that Ray can't put it quite together like the top flight GMs?
He's puzzle rush champ so he's obviously a strong tactical player. What's he missing though?
Impossible for me to answer. Part of it may depend on what his career and life priorities are. @@archsys307

Excellent video! Please correct the spelling of GM Xiong's first name. It is "Jeffery," not "Jeffrey."
Done.
@@PowerPlayChess Thank you! As you might have noticed, I have a good reason for my outsized interest in this issue.
What about ... d4 instead of ... Bf6?
I found Gc7! So proud of myself.
💪💪💪
hi Daniel, you should come up with a name for such a powerful bishop like you did with the octupus knight
You must have missed the discussions that took place on the channel. Starfish Bishop and Archbishop were my two favourites.
No lie i thought Kd7 with no assistance. I thought it was the most obvious move actually because that allows the queen, the rook and the bishop to be able to block all the different checks.
Dude spoilers

Pb4 to pull the king further out
Same idea. Rf7
I found d7 due to narrow calculation.
strong queen
Elizabeth I
I think that if Hans wins this, there's a few people should be apologising to him
Very oublicly.
F5 has total lojic
A la Morphy!
I found Kd7. No computer assistance. 😊
Too much chess makes you mad, like Bobby Fischer and steinitz and Einstein said same.
Kd7
Kd7 all day every day, why is this "counter-intuitive"???
+1
Because Be6 exists. Kd7 looks like black will never get his bishop and rook out and it is correct. It's playing for a draw at best. But you have to calculate concretely if you are a serious player and not a gamble type.
@@paulgoogol2652 The king doesn't go to d7 to STAY on d7, it's headed for c7 and b8 if need be.

@@paulgoogol2652 Strong players know that positional considerations come after not getting mated.
Oh, I also want to see how Lemon Erronian played circus game vs Bozo the Clown and... lost 😅
A modern day Tal like game. impressive
