      @zyfryth 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Аnn, played the best move. Capturing the pawn leads to bishop g4, if Qe1 then rook royal forks her. So only move is Q f2, however you put your queen on disfunctional square being pinned by the dark bishop, with threat of rook E1. Also some people say that they analized it with an engine and it says that f3 was the best move and taking the pawn leads to loss of the white queen. Personally I can't see that far, but it seems super nasty to play for white.

    You often see positional pawn, exchange, or piece sacrifices but it's exceedingly rare to see a queen sacrifice where there is no obvious win. Indeed, I think there were more than 30 moves until the queen sac finally paid off. This is a brilliant game.

    In 7:30 you say that the black bishop "goes back, you have to defend it". I guess you mean from the attack from the white queen, however if you play something else (like bishop to e3 for example), the moment that queen captures on c4 e2 promotes with checkmate.

      Because then white has Bg4 with a winning attack. If Qe1 then Rd1+ wins back the queen and white is up a bishop. If the queen moves away, then after Rd1+ and Nc1 blocking white has a lot of threats, like Nxe4 followed by Nd2+. Really don't know why Agad didn't show that

I know it would mess up the pawn structure but maybe it would be worth it to avoid all the trouble of guarding the pawn for the rest of the game?

    Can someone smarter than I explain why Max can not push b4 in this position? I thought b4 was the best move as the bishop is covering the (white) passed pawn from pushing and would defend the pawn. If white does not take (cxb4) Black then has two passed pawns right? If white takes then the bishop takes and attacks the queen, right?

    15:42 In his example here, can someone help me understand why this is a losing position for white? It's her turn once the bishop comes to c2. If the white queen moves to d5 check, then a2 after the king moves (or bishop intercepts on e4), I believe this initiates a series of moves that will lead to a queen exchange (opening up for the queened pawn), or perhaps an eventual draw. I'm sure I'm missing something. Anyone have thoughts on this?
