Please more games by GM Christiansen . I have played at tournaments with him. His is a funny and kind guy who once played some legendary ROOK SAC at an Olympiad team game in the 90's. I remember asking him about it...it was covered by the excellent magazine " Inside Chess" published by GM Yasser Seirawan himself. I remember " and the Crazed Rook throws itself into the fire!!! ' was a poetic quote from the magazine.

HOLY SHIT!! This was one of my favorite videos ever. Suren---- top notch as always. Great video! Amazing game!

Have to admit, this game is no ordinary game. Good video as always

Who would have thought that one of the most amazing and gratifying games I've ever seen would be a draw?

Hi Suren, can you please post a game where the Urusov Gambit was played? Thanks

awesome game!

Just a beginner, so can someone explain to me how the unprotected black rook can force a perpetual check as shown? Wouldn't the king simply take it?

i want to to ask after taking the rook by the king the second rook is also hanging there ,that is not taken by the king why??

2:30 coffee kicks in

After White Bishop B4 white not Black Knight H6, to protect the Pawn on F7?

great game

at 1:20 why on Earth did he move QB3 instead of RA1?

Brilliant move! !!!!"

He played so good in causing a draw in a losing game but was dumb enough to make a mistake to allow that pawn to be taken

at 2:10 after Bc4 why can't white play Nh6??

Why not Knight H6 to defend the pawn at 2:30 ?

At.2:38 when white plays Bc4 why didnt black play Nh6 and played Nf2 instead???

Pardon my ignorance. Why wouldn’t the king just take the rook on g3 that was making the “perpetual check”?

1:48 Why not cxb5 by black?

3:15 What about Qh3? How should black reply afterwards?

@SurenAghabekyan

@4: 03, why did Black queen captured white knight instead of white queen

what are the ratings of the players of this game

Where is the swindle?

Two knight sacs, four Queen sacs, then Double Desperado Rooks!!! Man, Christiansen could play.

used to play a lot of chess......Losing was brutal, so to take a losing position, And engineer a draw......What a feeling

_One of the greatest swindles in chess_ I thought that was the 1984 world championship.

I bet drawing such a game is much more satisfying as winning a standard boring game.

On 3:42 why not Q×e6

Ok. Good luck is back :D

Most of the time you can guess the first two moves by the year the game was played

2:35 What if....Kg7 Giving up the pawn and after Bxf7-Nxe5 or Nxf7-Rxc4 ?

I love chess, but honestly the rule about repeat moves resulting in a draw is such a cop-out way for sooooo many matches to be drawn when one side clearly is winning. It’s aggravating to see. White’s options were draw by repetition or draw by stalemate…

Black can't move any of his pieces. The king is cut off and all the pawns can't advance. Either the rook perpetually checks the king, or the rook is taken and black can't move.

This Rook is becoming a Desperado piece. © Suren

2:35 why not save it by Nh6 or Rf8?

@FromTheMountain

7 жыл бұрын

From a positional point of view, I think Nh6 is not desireable because it is very difficult for black to get any sort of counterplay from that position. In a more concrete form, we can see that white already has Qb6 picking up a pawn (note that Qd7 doesn't work because of Nxf7 with a discovered attack). Black probably didn't want to go full passive and decided to go for a sacrifice to create some play.

@martisian

7 жыл бұрын

You are probably right. After Qb6 the c6 pawn is lost and the knight on h6 looks pretty silly.

What aboring game:(

At 3:04, would it be possible for white to simplify with 34.Qxa2 Rxa2 35. Bxa2? In this variation, white will be up a piece and 2 rooks versus black's sole queen. I don't see how black would be continuing the attack. The e and c pawns are still protected by the well placed knight, and the bishop can relocate to c4>e2 to guard against the weak light squares in the white camp I dont see 34... Rxg3 working either, cause after 35. Kh1, he'll be able to play Rd2 or Rc2 and white's king will be pretty safe. White can also play something like Rb1 or Rb2 with the idea of Rb7, seizing back the initiative. Keep in mind that white is up an entire rook and piece at in this variation, so if he ever makes a mistake, he'll be perfectly happy to give up his queen for the knight or rook.

White king cant take the rook?

@adrianp7431

6 жыл бұрын

If the king captured the rook, the game is already over! It's a stalemate and a draw! Nobody wins! Stalemate is a position counting as a draw, in which it is a player's turn to move, that player is NOT in check but cannot move except into check. Stalemate is frustrating if you are winning. Just because the king can't move doesn't mean that it's stalemate. So black sacrificed whatever piece remains and got the draw. A desperado piece is when you sacrifice your remaining pieces to get a stalemate. Black is saved. Do you understand now?

it is dubiously dubious dubiousity

My best defense ever

what is a perpetual check?

Qd7 eyes white's knight on b5. Black knows white wants to move his queen from d3, and when he does it will no longer protects white's knight in the event of the pawn push c4-c5.

After capturing white bishop, Why is he not capture the white queen instead of capturing the Knight​?

Suren, I have an amazing game for you. Victor Korchnoi vs Udovcic Mijo. You gotta love this game...especially that bishop, tied to a Grand Cross, after 23. Qh4!! www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1081771 This game is also analyzed in Chessmaster, in Academy tab, Christiansen's attacking style.

3:44 *sniff*

Can someone explain to me why they decided to resign in the end? Surely after taking the rook, white could have continued the game, with no chance of black winning

Thanks Suren. Amazing game. I don't understand the stale mate in the end. White is left with 2 rooks and a queen🤔
