Giri's game vs magnus in magnus invitational should be there. Giri needed only a draw to defeat magnus and guess what? he did it in a spectacular fashion

None of these forks are as effective as Xqc's wooden shield technique

The last fork is actually impressive

The last one, with Re4 is one of the most amazing sacs in recent decades, especially from an optical point of view. It was serious magic. Put your rook where THREE pieces can take it and all three takes lose. Just unbelievable.

Magnus' vision is just beyond amazing.

Honestly that’s something a lot of people see tho, the initial move was the only hard part, the one after that was so much more impressive imo

I like how theses were turned into daily puzzles

I'm so proud of myself for figuring out a couple of these on my own. Especially the last one.

Top 5 Spoons next please

Oh man, I felt so good when I found the idea behind the last one

Love watching your videos and have also really enjoyed your commentary during the chessable masters tournament going on right now! Your humility, and brilliance are admirable!

So grateful to simon. Learning level after watching series of games and his vid has no comparison. I learn 10x more watching his content. Superb!

The Qh8+ move was amazing, but even better was the editing + reaction from GingerGM, lol

Brilliant moves. I am sure every chess player would be proud to find gems like these in their own games.

04:21 "it can jump into f6". It's actually f7 😁

Fun and instructive; thank you for sharing.

The last one appears on Tim Krabbe's "Chess Curiousities" from about 15 years ago.

Very nicely explained, thanks man!

The 1966 WCC Game 10, for Petrosian to defeat Spassky, in that way, in only 30 moves in that high stakes of a context, is hands down my favourite. The double exchange sacs earlier in the game and the queenside pawn chain just screams the Iron Tigran, too

I've seen all these forks, and 50 more of them in a game.. the best chess game to train you to be a master

"I suppose if you see your imminent death you might as well just end it now" LOL

Damn... Fischer's move is absolute genius

Loved the last fork.

Keep on amazing content please. Btw you can do top 10 :)

Amazing as usual

1. Completely missed that bishop on d6 is unprotected (although was staring at Qe2 with the same idea but doesn't achieve anything) 2. Found queen sac, but didn't find a mate with Bh3 3. Found Qh8, hooray! If it wasn't last move highlighting - I'd fail 4. Fischer is out of this world, oh my god. Missed that 5. King already "forking" rooks so wasn't hard to find. Damn those are sexy forks

the first one isn't a fork, but a double attack.

My 2 favorite players, Fischer and Tal

I am impressed with these forks

The third one was great

2:30 so proud of myself for finding it

That last one was beautiful

Number 3 is so nice

The second fork was actually yesterdays daily puzzle

I was just thinking that

Waitin for Simon's forks of play

i liked the one from magnus the most because i couldnt see it since it is a few turns in advance.

I agree with Ashwin Vijayakumar

"pronounce that very carefully if you try to say it"

Number 3 man... absolutely the best

I found all of them except the one on the game of Bobby Fischer , BOAH that's brillant!

Great video. Very informational! It's even inspired me to post some chess videos on my channel! Keep up the good work.

4:49 that picture from Olympiad, Leipzig 1960.

I acctually saw that last one but none of the other ones

3 one is so easy to spot👍

Hey Simon! I like your videos. Cheers from Croatia..

Man the last one is madd

My favorite was the magnus and the last! because the last is amazing! I think all them (winners) are computers or monsters in the chess.

The part where he said becareful how you say fork you will get in trouble!

Qh8+ is a beautiful move

What game was the Tal v Fischer? Would love to go back and see how Tal managed to win!

Now I'm all discombobulated!

The Petrosian one I'm familiar with as I'm a fan of his. The last one I thought of but didn't see the ingenuity of the move in its fullness..

7:15 in the final position, i think the fork is, rook to e4, if white captures with either one of the rooks you capture back with the d5 pawn and then the pawn is attacking the bishop and your king is attacking the remaining rook, if bishop captures then pawn captures the bishop, and the rooks ar disconnected and no longer defend each other and the king forks them both

@impostor6982

3 жыл бұрын

Lol if the king was one square closer white would still be fine cuz his king could step in on e3 and save it and then black is just down an exchange but alas that is not the case

self fork: Woow fork 2 castle by king: Wooooooooooooooooow.

Forks are great and all, but have you tried spoons?

5:09 - "he is forking and forking. Pronounce that correctly otherwise you might get in trouble."

The best fork was the last one. It's a shame that we don't know who exactly played the game. Absolutely brilliant!

The last one is the best fork i have ever seen. Damn

The last one was fu***** smart

7:01 very unique

Top 5 intermezzos please

These were so easy, I found all of them!!!😁🤙🤙🤙

Can't believe i actually managed to get some of those

There are two notable positions from Morphy games that I would like to mention Williams sir (i forget his opponent's names thought) one position was this the king on c8 Queen on d7 morphys bishop on E6 and the rook on F5 forking/pinning (take your pick) the whole family it was a beautiful position I believe never reached again and the same family pin/fork again but now with the dark bishop on f6 rook on h8 the king on d8 and the queen on d4 I believe do check it out thks

#3 in my head: Qh8+ Kxh8 Nxf8+ and fork

Top 5 pawn promotes ( when passes pawns is better than pieces for example la boursaniias vs McDonnell

I literally just played this as a puzzle. 2:15 | SO vs CARLSEN

5 one was god level fork

5:13 hilarious😂😂😂
