After Rxf5, it isn't very clear how black is going to stop pawn promotion without losing material. For example, an immediate ...Ke7 ends up with Nxf7 (...Rf8 doesn't work then because of h7), supporting pawn promotion on h8.
I couldn't (and still can't) see your reply in my browser (chrome), lol. Only now I see your first reply in the google notification window, which notified me because you replied after me again. In my browser, I only see 'Apoca Lips' in the replies. Very strange. Nh7+ wins as well, yes, but I didn't look further than Rxf5, which seems to win too.
I don't understand. Barrev resigned but with pawn in c4 game is still playable... king takes pawn, black knight on a3...if king doesn't take pawn can only go to d2, then bishop to f4...game still more than playable to me...
An outstanding game! Thank you, Mato.
Merci Mato pour ces leçons, bisou de Liban
I would love to see more Jobava games. He seems rarely to play a dull game. Hopefully he does well at Tata Steel. (Thanks for the video.)
Awesome narration with depth and skill implied.
A Wild Game! Thanks Mato!
thanks Mato, great game.
Creative game ! Thank you !
Tnks!!!
Perhaps we should rename this opening by Black to the "Caro Can't" opening.
Excellent game!
And where is Greece?
Amazing game.
unreal home work by Jobava
nice job by Jobava!
why didnt black knight take the knight on f5 making room for the king to escape and prevent pawn promotion @7:54
Cos of Rd7, I guess

W. Bush and Bin Laden are playing a chess game. Who's winning? - Bin Laden, cuz he's two towers ahead.
Awful joke
Matt Paulk Why is it that pointing it out always makes it funnier?
