I'm pretty confident that Anuraj saw that he couldn't castle with his king and thought that that meant that to castle you need to move the rook to the f8 square and I like to believe that he was surprised to see that his king remained in the same square.

Yeah. I'm at around 500 and somehow even I saw the myriad of blunders here. Makes me think that these are just fresh elo accounts or something

The ending is poetic, the knight gets the chance to hit the game winner after 400 years of being completely exposed to the impending pawn capture but anuraj has other plans, and blunders the rook, giving a last chance to the knight to deliver check mate, that doesn't happen and instead like a medieval soldier just missed his last sword stroke, the black king gets checkmated himself. This game is an attestment to the human capability to fuck up and keep fucking up until there is no more up to fuck. The most beautiful rendition of chess I've witnessed, thank you Michael and Anuraj

Hikaru once made a point. In games like these, the most important thing you need is tactic. In this case, it’s the removal of the knight, which is the guardian of the bishop.

That was truly epic. Thank you. This is the kind of chess entertainment I expect, and, frankly, deserve.

This is a meaning of "win" of which I was not previously aware. The most amazing part of this game is that one or both players apparently realized that checkmate had occurred.

@jmr5125

5 ай бұрын

Well... It _was_ an online match, so the computer handles detecting checkmate. So, given the quality of play, its quite possible that both players were surprised when the checkmate was announced.

the end was literally the biggest blunder possible in all of chess

Im pretty new to chess as well but these videos are UNDERRATED AF!! Should have atleast 10x views. The whole series as whole should 🔥

22:00 the reason for g3 was that he thought that knight h2 was checkmate, so he was making a square for his king

This is the best show on your channel. Much better than guess the elo. Please, give us many more!🤩

To say that was a calamity of errors would be a cosmic understatement.

I laughed a lot. Thanks for making my day!
