I remember when Miles won the GM title. A few months earlier my teammates were talking about him spending all his time on chess instead of his undergraduate studies. His university was going to expel him. When he got the GM title they gave him an honorary degree instead. As an aside, that year one of our university team members in England was already a GM from Yugoslavia that was not known in England. We went up to Edinburgh together and he played in a tournament there. I watched him play 4 present/former British champions with the white pieces. In each game it was a Sicilian, Bc4 without d4 first. I would walk by and he had sacrificed a piece and I could see no clear attack. I'd walk by later and he had sacrificed a second piece and I could see no clear win. Then his opponent resigned a couple of moves later. An amazing guy for the time.

Even at the highest level blunders are still made. At least that's what tell myself when I cry myself to sleep

Yep. Worst blunder I've seen was Ivanchuk missing a mate in one move.

That Ivanchuk mate in one blunder was painful, he's the World Champion slayer, Anand shouldn't have survived that game lmao

Best chess channel on KZread. Greetings from South Africa

I belong to the same chess club as Craig Pritchett in dunbar, scotland. I told him about this video, and although he hadn't heard of agadmator, he immediately asked if the person making the video pointed out that he missed a win😂. Hes 70 now but the guy can still play. He finished 9th at the world seniors championship a couple of years ago. Really nice guy too

I've jumped 300 elo this semester to 1500... ever since I started watching your commentary and started making the connection between tactics and strategy...coincidence? Thanks for all you do.

I love how you show the variation all the way to checkmate.Really enjoy your content!!

4:40 That's correct. The QRR formation is the Alekhine gun, while the RQR formations seen in this game is the Ekhaline gun.

You know chess well. I love the end game possibilities of what move you could play vs the actual players move. Very cool

A lot to learn from this one. Love your channel and thanks!

In 1974 Miles won the Junior World Chess Championship winning a decisive game against Kochyev, that Miles himself considered one of his best.

What a fancy Be5 move

That was a sweet, sweet winning move. Damn.

#suggestion seirawan vs miles 1979. A very nice strategic game,there is also a nice story that gm seirawan told aboutthis games. He said that he was "scared" of miles playing 1. b6 so to stop him from doing that he played 1. g3, and then miles told him over the board " I love these moral victories" and smiled. If by any chance you dont like this game, then I would be happy if you showed us any other yassers game :) thx in advance!

I saw this position in "Russian Chess Masters Vol. 2", its quite a good puzzle lol

ive been looking a long time at the position from 11:16 i am considering black Bb2 check Bb2 then Re7 or Qd1.... i miss any analys of the black bisshop taking the white b2 pawn

Notification squaaaaaaddddd

GAME STARTS AT 2:21

11:49 you could capture the pawn on B2 with the bishop and then the only move white has is king to B1 and than you move the queen to C2 and is checkmate

@davidcopson5800

@11:49 it is not Pritchett's move, he has just played Kh8.

That bishop could have been a lump of wood and did the same damage, almost.

Could you analyse match between ahmed adly vs magnus carlsen #suggestion

At 12:22 after Be5 by white what if qxa2+ from black? qxa2+ kxa2 Rxb2+. If Ka1, then Rxf2 discovered check with the bishop and queen is going down. If Ka3, then Rb2+ at least a chance to draw? Please correct me if I am wrong (I am typing this from my phone at 4 AM from bed). PS: Really like your videos and methods to analyze games. I always make time to watch the videos as soon as I get the notifications, and spare some more time for analyzing some other possibilities which you hardly miss (if any).

Why does Black does not capture the pawn on b2 at the third queen's offer and check-mate white?

can u show some games by khalifman ??

Because of bxc3. You are also losing your bishop and it is two rooks against a Queen and a rook. And of course if you try Bxe5, you are losing your Rook on e8

After 13:03 - craig cld hv capture b2 pawn and then rook by queen. Its not winning although.

After Be5 he could play Bb2+ then after Bxb2 he should play Re2-Re7 separating Queen and Rook and rendering impossible any checkmate, Tony would have quite a lot of problems and it might have even result in a win

For a master and even an A player, BE5 is pretty obvious, not amazing. Let's not get carried away.
