Ahhhh the first game you showcased in this one, Mr. Seirawan...I remember it well. You had used it in your book 'Winning Chess Brilliances' and analyzed it quite well there. I especially loved how you 'tricked' the reader into thinking the pawn move cxd7 was not a good move due to chess principles such as not just throwing in a check for a check and leading to develop your opponent's army. In this case it was the better move out of the other lines you presented in the book and just goes to show that principles are merely guidelines and should never be taken as gospel truth. I have to say that game is one of my favorites of yours that I have seen and taught me a few things about how to look for piece and exchange sacrifices, since those are not easy for chess players to come up with. Also, I compliment you on your analytical style and presentation. Very good-natured, very well presented, and the same goes for your books. I recommend them to those who want to take up chess and learn things because your style is so easy to pick up and understand. :) Love watching your presentations quite a bit because of that.

At the 35:30 mark, there was a question from one of the people in the audience about you giving up the rook. The rook was trapped anyway, so it was pointless to move it. Rd7 Ne5, forks the queen and rook. Any other rook move just loses the rook outright.

In the second game, rather than pawn a5 what about knight a5 threatening knight b3 (c pawn pinned and Q cant defend a3), then...Bxa3, pxB, Qxp...followed by knight to a4 checking the white queen...this line seems compelling, but I have not looked at it over a board

Also, at the 31:32 mark, white had QxN QxQ, Nf7ch Kg8, NxQ (winning the knight and white should have a fairly easy end game win). Your method gets rid of the rooks too though, after Rd8ch, so it's an even easier end game win.

@Jeff Green Yes, your analysis is correct. The natural move 20.Qd2 will be responded just as you say with the pawn sacrifice 20...c3! Then if 21.Qxc3 black can get out of immediate trouble with 21...Qe7 (or even continue with something like 21...h6). Or if 21.bxc3? black will actually have the advantage and the initiative after simply 21...Bxa3+ 22.Kc2, Qa4+. However, the move you suggest 20.Qd2 is still playable and after the first variation (20...c3, 21.Qxc3) white is still better and will probably win in the long run. But 22.Ng5! (and so on) is a killer.

Carles Camps after rook takes Knight,black queen takes your night. if you go for queen g8 check, he doesnt have to take your queen with his rook he could simply take it with his king and you would have to lose. But there is a similar option,I guess there is a possibility to take black knight with white rook,after black queen takes my rook i will play Nf7 check.He have to take my knight or else he would lose(Nf7+,Kg8,Nh6+ double check,Kh8, Qg8+ Rxg8,Nf7#) so after rook takes knight ,queen takes rook,Nf6+ only logical move would be Rxh7,Qxh6 then black gotta do something to prevent check mate and support pond on f5? but i think it makes white lose its chances. yasser's move is better.

Nb4 looks good at 44:49, after Bd2, white has back rank issues and black is threatening both Na2+, winning the queen, and to take on c2. It seems unlikely that it's a good move since both Yasser and Jan missed, but I can't see why it should be bad...

After Qg6 why not try Be6 with the idea of Bf5 which attacks the queen and creates the pin on c2 again and the knight on D4 protects the bishop and also attacks the c2 square which just looks like it is winning for black or at least a draw.

If I listen to a lot of Yasser Seirawan's commentary in one go, I get annoyed by his bumbling style and the gentle humour and patience doesn't compensate for it. By the end of the first game here the commentary feels like nails on a blackboard. And although I can see after a while why Jan Timman resigned, the editing rushes on instead of allowing the explanation why.
@tejodipto

He resigned because the threat is Rd8 and checking the king and attacking the queen. If queen moves Rd8 is mate. If Q*R then N*Q and white has an easy end game win with the knight and pawn up.

That was a very interesting game
Amazing game! :)
At the 35:30 mark, there was a question from one of the people in the audience about you giving up the rook. The rook was trapped anyway, so it was pointless to move it. Rd7 Ne5, forks the queen and rook. Any other rook move just loses the rook outright.
Just saw the first aka 5th game on historical chess videos.
In the second game, rather than pawn a5 what about knight a5 threatening knight b3 (c pawn pinned and Q cant defend a3), then...Bxa3, pxB, Qxp...followed by knight to a4 checking the white queen...this line seems compelling, but I have not looked at it over a board
Can you share the link to the facebook sight?
at 46.00 why not nb4 instead of qa4?
Also, at the 31:32 mark, white had QxN QxQ, Nf7ch Kg8, NxQ (winning the knight and white should have a fairly easy end game win). Your method gets rid of the rooks too though, after Rd8ch, so it's an even easier end game win.

After QxN there is Qc8+ winning the queen
Remi was 46m42s after 23.Kb1 23...Nxd4 24.Rc1 Nxc2 25. Rxc2 Bc5 26. Bc1 Bd4 (26.Rh2 d4) or 24.Bg5 hxg5 25.Rxd4 Qb3
How is that initial position at 2:00 checkmate? The queen can be captured by the knight, no?
2:00 you have to take with the rook, not the bishop for q b8 to be checkmate

Last chance for draw was after 54m45s 29.Qg6 instead of 29...Bc5 draw was 29...Be6 and 30...Bf5 31...Bxc2
At the 27:35 mark, why not just Qd2, attacking the pinned bishop again? Maybe because of the pawn sac, c4-c3?

@Jeff Green Yes, your analysis is correct. The natural move 20.Qd2 will be responded just as you say with the pawn sacrifice 20...c3! Then if 21.Qxc3 black can get out of immediate trouble with 21...Qe7 (or even continue with something like 21...h6). Or if 21.bxc3? black will actually have the advantage and the initiative after simply 21...Bxa3+ 22.Kc2, Qa4+. However, the move you suggest 20.Qd2 is still playable and after the first variation (20...c3, 21.Qxc3) white is still better and will probably win in the long run. But 22.Ng5! (and so on) is a killer.
the very first game was not a Checkmate because night takes Queen
At 21:10, why is Qd5 not a thought? My idea is: 1. Qd5 Nxd5 2. Bxe7 Nxe7 3. Nxe5. I think black would resign here. (My rating is quite low, about 1200, so please, don't hate me if I am wrong here. :/

@Bahadir Simsek Yes, 12.Qb5 looks intriguing at first sight, because of 12...dxc6? 13.Qxc6+ and 14.Qxa8. However, black saves himself with either 12...Bc7 (13.e4, d6) or 12...a6 13.Qd3, Bc7 (14.e4, d6).
Wonder if combo still works if, instead of Rd8, black plays O-O-O!

Carles Camps after rook takes Knight,black queen takes your night. if you go for queen g8 check, he doesnt have to take your queen with his rook he could simply take it with his king and you would have to lose. But there is a similar option,I guess there is a possibility to take black knight with white rook,after black queen takes my rook i will play Nf7 check.He have to take my knight or else he would lose(Nf7+,Kg8,Nh6+ double check,Kh8, Qg8+ Rxg8,Nf7#) so after rook takes knight ,queen takes rook,Nf6+ only logical move would be Rxh7,Qxh6 then black gotta do something to prevent check mate and support pond on f5? but i think it makes white lose its chances. yasser's move is better.

Nb4 looks good at 44:49, after Bd2, white has back rank issues and black is threatening both Na2+, winning the queen, and to take on c2. It seems unlikely that it's a good move since both Yasser and Jan missed, but I can't see why it should be bad...

After Qg6 why not try Be6 with the idea of Bf5 which attacks the queen and creates the pin on c2 again and the knight on D4 protects the bishop and also attacks the c2 square which just looks like it is winning for black or at least a draw.

If I listen to a lot of Yasser Seirawan's commentary in one go, I get annoyed by his bumbling style and the gentle humour and patience doesn't compensate for it. By the end of the first game here the commentary feels like nails on a blackboard. And although I can see after a while why Jan Timman resigned, the editing rushes on instead of allowing the explanation why.

He resigned because the threat is Rd8 and checking the king and attacking the queen. If queen moves Rd8 is mate. If Q*R then N*Q and white has an easy end game win with the knight and pawn up.
