Omg me neither

You talking about sodium attack? The guy has never beaten me with his Catalan bro.

who said that? I remember someone said it but not who

@@teodorul9280 nepo said it after winning the candidates

@@billumnbvc4608 N a3 for the place the knight move…

@@billumnbvc4608 so Na3

Theres also the Ammonia attack NH3

Should it be like trisodium or something? Idk I’m not a chemist

Lots of sodium on the board

Na3, Na4, Na4 = Hey Jude

I would probably say Na to this opening

@@khytron06 Me:Sf14

1. Nh3 = Ammonia Attack. 1. Nh6 = National Highway (India) counterattack

also Knight A 3, in chess notation Na 3. Na.

Sodium Attack: Chloride Variation

You're salty lol

Just eat a baNaNa if this ever happens

@@bananapotato9926 Exactly what I was thinking the moment I saw the thumbnail and title

Considering his weird Bongcloud Variation where he pushes his C and F pawns, then plays moves with the aim of switching the position of his King and Queen...this is a pretty credible opening, especially for a Blitz game.

I knew the opening from day one

He knew the opening and he has played the opening before, but he might not have knows the name. This game was played during candidates

Bro that video of Magnus Howell openings test is pretty old one. It was uploaded of Magnus' channel just now but it's around the time of early pandemic.

Magnus toyed with him too, not only with knight a3 but also there's no way in hell Magnus missed rook d3. He's just too good

@@Noctua8 Why can't he miss it? He is best player alive, but in humans. He is not stockfish. If he were to find all the best moves, he would have countered rook d3 instead of playing a3. He doesn't underestimates his opponents.

@@Noctua8 Nah, even Magnus misses things. There’s a game where he blundered a knight fork of his rook and king, like a bozo 700. He’s not Stockfish.

Yeah, like, the thing with Naroditsky is he shares so much of his knowledge and so understandably on his YT channel. You get a lot of games from him when he plays really principled chess, then finds some alien line a 2000 or under could never see in their dreams, and wins an opponent easily with that line or some variation he adapts into on the fly if the opponent is playing especially well. Enter super GMs, who see those same lines as Danya, and more, counter them with ease, and often when two enormously good players who give each other absolutely nothing, they win with a sheer grind. Positioning, forcing an error or inaccuracy, making an occasional non-move if there's nothing to improve... heck, the difference often seems to come to something like one pawn push that shouldn't have happened, but super GM forced you to do it. That's enough for a seemingly narrow endgame win, but the super GM likely found that win 10-15 moves prior. This is completely different world to normal person's internet chess. :D

@@Noctua8 you don't toy with people by blundering into a drawn endgame lol

Pawns can’t go back XD

Hahahaha great comment

You are a kind of man who is stupid, unfortunately.

I mean his opponent has 30 seconds too

I think that title happens to be “World Champion”

@@andrewbailey7045 ...at literally no aspect of the game but okay buddy

@@foreverinvaliduser na it’s equal at the very least bc Bobby anthem didn’t have these super computers to practice or study on… Bobby still has candidates records that might not ever be broken… also Gary was ahead of his time

@@andrewbailey7045 No World Champion was worse than the previous World Champion, except for Euwe.

Yeah but sodium attack sounds more fun init

​@@larskerkhof8835 Having an opening named after a person is rare. Meeting that person over a chessboard, win, lose, or draw has more significance.

Same and i'm 1200

Mastercrafter come on if you found that then what are you doing in the three digits? Go grind some rating points and come back here when you're 1100

@@bullymaguire632 imagine gatekeeping a 3000 year old game played with tiny statues on a wooden board.

@@ethantrottier3330 you didn't understand what I meant, what I was trying to say is they have the potential to reach 1100 if they found that move, better do it now than leave it for later when you're rusty

yeah but would you have spotted it in a situation where someone hadn't just told you that there's a winning move you can make

My father just moved to Cuba (he's been married to a Cuban lady for 25 years). I hope I can visit him there at some point. Is chess a popular game there?

@@Axiomatic75 At the moment it is not so popular and it is not a country worth visiting either, from the outside many see it as a kind of living museum but from the inside it is a prison where you dream of leaving, there was a time when money did not live bad but that after covid changed.

@@orlandoleyva1352 I'm sorry to hear that. The damn communist bastards destroy every country they get their grubby hands on.

@@orlandoleyva1352 what is life even like it cuba? Seems like it used to be a bustling tropical island and then disappeared off the map into a black hole, despite being right next to the US and mexico. Wasn't even sure if people there had internet. No offense meant, just weird because besides castro not being in charge anymore I've never heard anything about cuba past the missile crisis.
