Best video so far in turns of phrase. "Invitation to dinner, only white is dining," "the pieces are in Siberia, its pretty cold out there, but its getting hot around the king!!"
Great game, great commentary. Love the way Van Foreest snuck all his pieces over to the kingside, especially the white squared bishop that often gets stuck behind the pawn chain in the Samisch.
Very enjoyable analysis of a really wild game. I always thought black's counterplay with Ba6 and Na5 was sufficient but this game almost makes this plan unsound. Black ends up with 3 pieces on the Q side doing nothing while he slowly got dismantled on the K side. Amazing game.
I've played the Saemisch as White and I was always happy when Black piled up on the c4 pawn, thereby placing his pieces in Siberia. One opponent said "You know that Black's supposed to win this, right?" and I replied "Yes, but it's not so easy in practice!"
Van Foreest's last move was so brilliant Giri had to think for quite sometime before resigning. It looks like forced mate in all possible scenarios, or a major loss of pieces by black. Another wonderful game analysis by GM King.
Awesome game! Love it that Jorden put it all on the line. I consider accepting crappy prawn structures to be kinda like a gambit - if you don't get an attack you're screwed in the long term. And I'm like you Danny: I have a Karpovian love for pawn structure and love to inflict the doubled pawns like in the Huebner variation and in the Saemisch, where, as you say, white ironically even provokes this (with some justification of course coz white forces black to play their cards). That's about all I have in common with Anatoly and you - I'm a total patzer!
Same deal with the 4. f3 variation - crazy pawns call for concrete play and not my lazy 'general principles' (a.k.a not calculating). I'm a wimp and do the 4. Qc2 conservative option vs Nimzo (or just avoid it altogether with 3. Nf3).
Yes, I agree. The Saemisch variation is a bit like a gambit. Both players know the structure is a bit rubbish, but it's game on. In that sense, Van Foreest put Giri under pressure with the Saemisch: with hindsight an excellent choice.
This reminds me kind of this rossolimo game from giri-Carlsen where Giri also put his queen on a4 from the white side and got totally crushed on the KINGSIDE I THINK IT WAS IN 2019
A great game from Van Foreest, true enough Anish made it easy for himbeautiful attacking finish too. Great analysis, thanks Daniel and keep up the good work.
Great to see one of my favorite lines as white. Thinking what to play in 1991 Finnish team 5+5 championship I realized, that no -one had played 4. a3 against me, ever. So I spent one evening studying the lines and got 5/6, blundering one win away. Looking how Karpov handles black makes me worried, but that's OK since I seldom play him.
They really need to come up with a better solution with the virus contingencies. There should be an alternate who can step in to play for someone who tests positive. It's not ideal, but it's much better than just gifting a victory. All these guys have seconds who could at least put up a fight.
What a counter to the Nimzo-Indian: a Super Colossal Huge Center!! (I pictured an ape: pounding its chest! Tearing up the brush! Roaring!) Intimidating. Great commentary. (As usual.)
It's for games like this (with added inaccuracies/blunders from both sides...) that I gave up playing the Nimzo with Black. If I tried to win that pawn I got horrible play, and if I didn't I usually ended up with a rather passive position, with close to no constructive plan for the middlegame. (Before Nimzo players start crucifying me: I know the opening is perfectly playable, and it's all my fault... But let me at least state that I, as a player, am not compatible with this opening for Black) Thanks for your videos!
That is the problem with following engine moves in openings ... you really need to go deep into the position until it becomes understandable in human terms! Engines today are just so powerful that what looks like a simple position to hold is incredibly problematic to hold for humans.
Great game and analysis! In my opinion (and based on my own bad results...), fixing 3 pieces to attack a single pawn was a bad decision. I think that was Giri's crucial mistake.

if the black squared bishop is dangerous, shouldn't Giri know that and fork rook and bishop with 9...Nb3 to eliminate that bishop? Giri is not good at over the board calculation and relies on memory from his home prep. Why, for example, did he castle king side if nearly all of his defending pieces are stuck on the queen side in the middle of nowhere? Makes zero sense
Re the knight fork, it's not awful or anything, but moving a piece four times to exchange it for another piece that's still on its home square is generally not a winning approach. As for castling Kingside... who knows. It looks suicidal to me as well.
Well, I guess the organizers were right when they asked Dubov to wear a mask. Shame, he wasn't smart enough to know that. Giri was lucky that day, not so much this day.

Always fun to see van Foreest games. It seems to me he plays for fun, rather than (just) results. :)
Of course he puts results first. Else, he would have taken on f6 on the previous move.
He definitely plays for the result! And the opening punt proved a good way of getting a result.
Great game, great commentary. Love the way Van Foreest snuck all his pieces over to the kingside, especially the white squared bishop that often gets stuck behind the pawn chain in the Samisch.
A beautiful game indeed! Thank you for covering all these matches, they are informative and entertaining!
What a jewel of a game and a fine piece of analyze! Thank you, Mr. King!
Just started watching and I already know it's going to be great!
It's so easy after you've explained it
This Game reminds me some Karpov's games. It is amazing how Jorden coordinates all his peaces to attack in the King side.
Very enjoyable analysis of a really wild game. I always thought black's counterplay with Ba6 and Na5 was sufficient but this game almost makes this plan unsound. Black ends up with 3 pieces on the Q side doing nothing while he slowly got dismantled on the K side. Amazing game.
Imagine if this were played in 1924, e.g. Lasker vs Nimzowitsch. People would have thought the Nimzo-Indian was unplayable for another twenty years.
Oh, what a beauty. Absolutely loved this game, thank you for showing it. ♥
I've played the Saemisch as White and I was always happy when Black piled up on the c4 pawn, thereby placing his pieces in Siberia. One opponent said "You know that Black's supposed to win this, right?" and I replied "Yes, but it's not so easy in practice!"
Such a straightforward attack! Brutal
Van Foreest's last move was so brilliant Giri had to think for quite sometime before resigning. It looks like forced mate in all possible scenarios, or a major loss of pieces by black. Another wonderful game analysis by GM King.
"Invitation to dinner"? It's an invitation to a desert - a three layer chocolate cake!

@@DavidSchilter 4.qc2 can get pretty hairy.
@@roqsteady5290 You're right, we need only look at some Prag games at Wijk, huh? Maybe just 4. e3 is the most solid then,

Thank you for your work! Great video!
Very instructive bishop moves: Bc1-d2-e1-h4 and Bd3-e2-h5.

Great analysis of a great game. Thank you, Daniel.

From move 16 Rxf6 until an overwhelming advantage was obtained Van Foreest played the engine recommendations. He’s pretty good!

Not all of them have necessary seconds. For sure not at place. And I guess in Dubov case his second was exactly the positive guy with the Giri game
Great game. Thank you as always for a fine analysis!
What a counter to the Nimzo-Indian: a Super Colossal Huge Center!!

Haha
Having dinner while watching this video. Feeling coherent today :D
another great analysis. Thank you

Thanks for your videos!
I love the opening with white for exactly the reasons you stated, I would never choose the nimzo as black.
This is a masterpiece! Giri got absolutely destroyed :)
Van Foreest was Magnus's second in the match against Nepo. No surprise!
DK on fire in this one 🔥🔥🔥 Giri ouch! Ty Daniel
The hashtags are from a different video.
Put all pieces on the a-file to attack a doubled pawn while castling kingside - what could go wrong? ;-)
He played the 6th most popular move (Lichess) on move 4!!!!!!! Is this a record?? 👏👏👍🏽👍🏽

Great game
awesome channel
If there's a bridal suite in Wijk Aan Zee then Giri must sign his name up as bridesmaid every year
Great game from Jorden!
queen,knight,bishop all in siberia 😃
Great game and analysis! In my opinion (and based on my own bad results...), fixing 3 pieces to attack a single pawn was a bad decision. I think that was Giri's crucial mistake.
Well...it is fairly standard Nimzo strategy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...
I shouldn't feel so bad (at my low rating) when I end up asking myself in my games, how on earth did I get in such a mess again?
Scores on the doors. The Generation Game 🙂
So much emphasis on the c4 pawn and the tables turn so quickly after the rook exchange sac.
Rook h3 !! what a move
An invitation to dinner ....lol !!

Not playing was still better then playing with mask
an invitation to dinner and only white is dining here.
a corker
Giri = clown
