3:20 You don't even need to capture the Queen right away. You can make something funny and beautiful there: Kh8 (only legal move) Bb2+ Qg7 (since Bd4 leads to Bxd4+ and Qf6 to Bxf6#) Qf4 (so now Qxb2 is impossible because you have Qf8+ Rxf8 exf8=Q#) and there White has a double threat: Qf8+ (with the idea of exf8=Q#) and Qf7 (with the idea of Qxg7# or Bxf7#). There is no defence against that. The King is trapped, the Queen can't move and the other pieces are completely useless. All the options fail: Nd7 defends only f8, Rxe7 and Nd6 defend only f7, and Bd4 or Bxf2+ only give one more move to Black (met by Bxd4 and Kxf2).
Alireza has the self confidence not to play the most obvious moves, even when they are winning, but to finish the games in stile,like the great champions.

Hes not better, but he's still very proficient. His defence can't be broken through and right after that he can push up. As seen here he can predict very far and he can develop all his troops in 2 moves
Firouzja is EQUAL to Carlsen if they're at the same age. The difference is that Carlsen is POSITIONAL like Karpov, while Firouzja is TACTICAL like Anand/Kasparov.
"The Beast of Baku" ... and now we see the emergence of "The Razor of Babol". Evocative, violent nicknames are much more fun than "The Mozart of Chess", for example.
That last one was my favourite, I got 3 out of the 5 before that after staring at it for quite some time. But the last one I saw and thought it would not work at all. and on top of that the under promotion was lethal.
Actually having a situation where a knight promotion wins the game on the spot is absolutely brutal. His opponent might have been thinking "I might be able to hold this, he can't promote without losing his queen and his knight" and then he just sees Ali slide a knight onto the table and he goes "Well... gg"
Love the way Ali plays chess -- attacking style. Magnus is obviously a great champion but he does not attack and win games in a spectacular fashion like Ali. A world championship match between these two would the match of the decade!
@@siavashsabet2462 There is no conclusive evidence to claim for sure which nation invented game of chess but we know Persian empire at the old time extended as far as small portion of India and name of the chess pieces are Persian originated even so chess was not invented over night by one person or one group of people it was develop little by little as the time passed over hundreds of year
I knew that he would under promote to knight because if he promotes to a new queen, rook can easily capture the old queen. And I already knew the checkmating pattern 😎😎
5:38 why can't black play Bc7? It stops white from queening the pawn, and if white checks, black king can move. With black's bishop and rook working together it could easily deny the pawn and rook.
Let me know, who is the alireza firouzja's opponent in game number : 4 and 5, also the time (year) that the game played. May be someone can help me to inform (opponent name and time/tournament that game played) Thanks for information

2:25 Nh6 also works e6 mates
queen can be the rook and bishop, but not knight. Knight can capture the queen without exchange.

Winning by knight promotion is freezing cool
second to winning by castling
this is more amzing to win with a knight promotion than a queen promotion. because this is part of a tactical forced chekmate.
Mvl did the same type of mate by promoting to a knight
you mean firouzing cool? :3
I don't know why but e8=N+ is the first move I thought about ^^
2:50
Simon: The tactical idea here should be easy to spot.
Me: fork the king and queen.
Simon: No you philistine, you sack a rook for mate.
lmao i tough i was smart for seing the fork but i guess im an idiot
I saw Rxg6 but I didn't even see the fork. Guess that makes me a super duper GM ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@Asztalot wrong time. Go to 2:51 and you will see it.
ok cmon, Im a pretty shitty player myself but that mate was extremely obvious. Kh8 Bb2 was easy to see as well
Lol
Alireza has the self confidence not to play the most obvious moves, even when they are winning, but to finish the games in stile,like the great champions.
Aleksandar Aleksandrov why do you have the same first and last name
@@dr.mikelitoris because my grandfather was also Aleksandar, and we take the grandfather´s name as a last name, not all the people do that in Bulgaria, some of the Familys have one family name for all members ,as in the most countries, they didn´t have to change it with every new born child.
Aleksandar Aleksandrov oh hey that’s pretty cool
By the way, it’s spelled “style.” Just thought I’d let you know.
The story of your name is pretty cool 😁
He wasn't just trying to beat his first opponent, he wanted to ruin his life, give him nightmares for the rest of his days.
😂😂😂Honestly
Lol 😂😂😂
As like fischer as he says, he want to crush his opponents will not just defeat him.
the knight promotion is just brutal
The last one kinda reminded me that a pawn can be turned into a piece other than the queen.
It’s always either knight or queen tho, because bishop and rook are just worse versions of queen
@@orioio5940 Not true, sometimes you need to underpromote to avoid stalemate
@@matthiasmobius3229 ooo good point didn’t think about that!
Incredible how a player that young can already have so many gems.
dude he at the same age as me but i am still stuck at 1000

This guy is definitely gonna be the next World Champion, calling it now.
wrong
@@trafon31 how can you know ? Alireza was 2800 youngest than magnus
Bringin the knight was wooooooooo
"Pure violence" indeed. Thanks for the breakdown and special effects.
1, 4, or 5. Probably 1 is the best sequence of moves. Such sharp attacking!
pure display of power - it´s difficult but possible to see such moves but in my experience it´s very easy to miss the correct follow up
Amazing analysis of the amazing games of the young teen boy. Thanks a lot to Simon.
I also think Firouzja will be Carlsen's major challenger. He has the "firepower" to be the world champion.
Hes better than carlsen
Same thing y'all said About Fabio. 😂
Hes not better, but he's still very proficient. His defence can't be broken through and right after that he can push up. As seen here he can predict very far and he can develop all his troops in 2 moves
@@NerdyDave Caruana is no worse in classical but he is no match in speed chess. Alireza is equal to Carlsen in bullet already at 17.

Alireza Firouzja is the next world champion, can't understand his dislike by various people

#1 - the tactical foresight and complexity is pure genius
I really like your presentation/communication skills, slick editing too, bravo
Let's appreciate Simon for his funny presentation skills 😂
3:20
Only simon can do such a commentary.
"The Beast of Baku" ... and now we see the emergence of "The Razor of Babol".
Evocative, violent nicknames are much more fun than "The Mozart of Chess", for example.
Agree, more fun. But Magnus still deserves that one though.
One of the best 5 moves series
Jez, the first was pure brutality, the second was uncanny beauty, but man, the third was art to me. Love this player.
It’s been years since I’ve played a game of chess I don’t know why I love these videos so much
My favorite young player.
Amazing player!
This is so much fun to watch
When I saw this I closed my book and said last video I'll watch.
Simon's beard gets more and more enigmatic let alone signature
Really like Alireza's style ...i think he is going to be champion sooner or later
my fav one is obviously the last one which preferred the knight over the queen advantage, astonishing, interesting, aggressive!
I'm a major Fan of this Ch. Well Done on so many levels. As for this Video, entertaining, enlightening & enjoyable. Thanks, ... Mike.
The first game was insane!! Tactics. Tactics. Tactics.
Can we get a video of his 5 most brilliant non-chess moves?
In the first one... instead of e6, Bg5 also leads to a mating attack that combines knight, bishop, and queen
the knight promotion was insane
GM Simon is awesome as awesome is Firouzja. Thank you man for all your stuffs. Mr. GM.
Amazing vedio and amazing chess player.. Thx for highlighting these moves
Dude I love this series. It's fantastic. But you gotta do 5 brilliant moves of Anand too! Please make it your next video
I like your analyze. You do a great job.
Those moves were MIND BLOWING.
wow that knight promotion blew me away
That last one was my favourite, I got 3 out of the 5 before that after staring at it for quite some time. But the last one I saw and thought it would not work at all. and on top of that the under promotion was lethal.
2:10 “if the bishop is taken” it’s a pawn
What? Delete this video immediately!
@Leth Mab, LOL
I loved it that it was a knight that was added to the game...
I'll guess that they decided to do firouzja after that game against fabi lol
Edit: whoops looks like that move didn't even make it in
I thought so too and I was surprised as well
This 16 year old is so good his game winning sac against world n.2 isn't in his top 5
it was an online game and the moves in this video are a lot stronger tbh
Enjoying this series!!
2:53 I thought it was Ne7+, forking king and queen.
I would watch cricket analysis if it was done by Simon Williams. You rock my man!
Great video. Exciting times.
The first one was complete genius

A última é linda! Ótimo video Simon!
That knight promotion was just out of the blue
Great series of videos! When are we going to see "5 More Brilliant Chess Moves - Part 2", and Part 3, .......... Keep up the good analysis.
That last knight promotion was BRUTALLLLLL :((
That knight promotion was the coldest move ever 🥶
The whole concept against Dubov is fascinating
As Magnus mentioned, Alireza is devilishly tricky!
Love the way Ali plays chess -- attacking style. Magnus is obviously a great champion but he does not attack and win games in a spectacular fashion like Ali. A world championship match between these two would the match of the decade!
Ai is stronger than humans clown 🥴
Great video. Thank you for posting this.
This kid is amazing. He's the only one I see that might challenge Carlsen
How about Nihal? :)
Jesus. Time flies. One can already watch a two year old 'best moves by Firouzja' video..........the lad has just started!!
very nice lesson .thanks man.
love visual effect boomss!!!
Ive been saying it for 5 years, the next world champion by 2025 is Alireza, and by 2023 he will be the world blitz and bullet champion!
Let's not forget the Persians and Indians invented chess and popularized it, before it came to Europe !
Perry Indiana invented chess, Iranians invented backgammon. Please dont change history.

Tactic number 1, brilliant!
Can you please show the last game of Alireza and then Magnus. His movs are stanshing.
Firouzja remind us Fischer. Fischer also plays many strong tournaments and WCH matches several times.
Please make video on Mikhail Tal
trash
@@yashj8238 What do you mean by that ?
Who?
Alireza is in monster phase now
Nice moves but u made it even better Simon 👍🏻
Love to see a world championship between Magnus and Alireza
man, these tactics are sick !
8:30 lmao wtf. I laughed so hard

FBI open up
Huh? Wdym
I knew that he would under promote to knight because if he promotes to a new queen, rook can easily capture the old queen. And I already knew the checkmating pattern 😎😎
#5 promoting knight is similar to Emanuel Lasker promotion of the knight year 1921
Firouzja is amazing, I'd like he'll in the candidate
Your wish had vond true.
This is from the future and alireza is currently destroying engines now
He is the next big thing in chess!!
Nxc2 (positional sac) against fabiano was his best and deepest move .
I liked the 5th most. he is definetly genious!
These tactics are sooo deep.
That’s why Magnus called him tricky player...
Love this kid Alireza
3:29 Simon that's not a checkmate what about Q>e6?
queen will just take
Wow! very good!!! Congratulations!!!
When i watch Mr.Carlsen and Mr. Karjhakhin, i think i will be stronger. (13 years old Ali Reza.)
he became the youngest player to break 2800 barrier.
he very well could be the future world champion
idk if i watch these for the moves or Simon Williams
Nice beard,Simon,thanks for your time,mate!
5:38 why can't black play Bc7? It stops white from queening the pawn, and if white checks, black king can move. With black's bishop and rook working together it could easily deny the pawn and rook.
I see chess getting pretty big on TH-cam
Upper echelon player. May be a world champion one day. In my opinion it's possible. He knows more then proggu even .. him and dubov are our future
yes he will
Let me know, who is the alireza firouzja's opponent in game number : 4 and 5, also the time (year) that the game played. May be someone can help me to inform (opponent name and time/tournament that game played)
Thanks for information
Anybody know who and where Firouzja was playing in that final game?
