Maybe this game is part of the reason why Kramnik is so envious of Hikaru these days.

@osvaldoruiz3826 9 ай бұрын

Am thinking the same way

@kirkcupido9730 9 ай бұрын

Everyone can get accused.. why not hikaru? MAGNUS has been losing to sup 2600 players all year, Hans yet only Hans was accused..

@nuelvf5946 9 ай бұрын

Kramnik is the second most precise player of all time, just only behind Magnus. I can't see how he would have envy of him.

this is brutal usually, its Carlsen grinding water out of stone in endgames but that knight move was breathtakingly brave...

@gorgit 9 ай бұрын

I dont think its brave if you see that its the only winning move. Genius? Definitely. Brave? More like non stubborn.

Could Kramnik push the pawn at the end and make a stalmate if he takes a pawn?????

That's an incredible game. Mating with 2n+b against a n doesn't look to be that easy either and I'd guess that most people couldn't do it with best defense. That is a hell of a game.

There are loads of problems based on promoting to Kt, but I have never, ever, not once seen it over the board. You're a really good narrator because you select great games, understand the value of humor in chess, and realize that the greatest games, like the Alekhine-Capablanca series, tell an epic story.

It's a not widely known fact that as part of their settlement agreement, Hikaru acquired rights to use Niemann's beads. Hans is required to operate the remote control during Hikaru's games.

A great win by Naka, I remembered the underpromotion when it came up. I once underpromoted to knight to prevent mate and got a draw which helped secure third place in an under fourteen blitz tournament.Thanks James.

@preparedsurvivalist2245 9 ай бұрын

It was NOT a great move for Kramnik to push the pawn and give up his knight. Being down a whole rook that late in the game is just asking for trouble. Its why White could get away with an unconventional move like underpromoting a pawn, because he didn't need the queen back on the board to overwhelm the black pieces.

@michaelmassaro4375 9 ай бұрын

Wow Great Game by both players but Hikaru really shined in the endgame very masterfully done a checkmate with two knights and a Bishops would’ve been awesome stopping those passed pawns awesome Happy Thanksgiving James Thanks for the Game Have a Great Day Enjoy not sure if you celebrate I googled it said many in UK don’t but that it’s catching on a bit Either way have a great day Thanks

@jevitigre 9 ай бұрын

The rarest underpromotion in an actual game of chess(even in blitz) is the bishop, even in chess problems, studies and puzzles is very rare to compose, American famous chess player but more notable chess composer Sam Loyd made chess problems involving bishop underpromotion

Ripper contest! I formed the conclusion that they both got lost at times in that notorious 'deep, dark forest'. ;) On a more mundane note (and rewinding a fair way), Vlad's bizarre decision to play …b5? seems to have cruelled his marginal positional advantage in the early middle-game.
