Wesley simply didn't want to catch glimpse of Hikaru's weird expressions. What a game... Loved it. And as always Sagar Shah rocks with his Tony Greig-like commentary in end game keeping audience on the edge of their seats.

@@Not-You-Tuber “This is basic communication style” makes it OK to assert that the King of all games is NOT a game. Your claim that art is bigger than chess just means that you like the nebulous notion of art as much as chess players like the concreteness and fairness of chess. In your world most anything can be labeled as “art”. Even your handle NotKZreadr shows how distorted your sense of language is as you freely use KZread while claiming you don’t.

such a great game. Thank you very much

But white has a defensive resources with Be4, then the ending will be the same. White will sacrifice his rook because the black e pawn can go through.

It's just a coincidence, but I loved it when Hikaru moved his king to the center black square, just accepting the defeat involuntarily 😅 (PS: For anyone who don't know, it's customary to place kings in that colored squares which won the game at the end of it.)

that wobbly table would drive my crazy!

A doubt: when they hold hands (apart from a tie), how do we know who won and who lost?

@MrHuddo

Жыл бұрын

Often if one player offers their hand first they're resigning. However, if they both sort of look at each other than shake hands it's almost always a draw agreement. No concrete rules in the way the hands are shaken, more of a tacit understanding that the position is a draw.

When it's a draw, one person usually offers it. So you can look out for someone's lips moving if they're the one offering the draw. The opponent usually nods in this case. If it's a resignation, the person who is losing will usually offer up their hand first.

@manqobamagawu225

Oftentimes the first player to offer a hand is resigning Although this is just a formality Every move is actually recorded,,so even if there's no handshake It's always known who lost

@UnknownString88

Жыл бұрын

Apart from body language showing the difference between giving up or agreement, it's mostly about the position. These high level players are aware of the state at all times, so if an offer is made in a losing position, it's understood as a resignation. Likewise, if the position is equal and the game is not progressing, it's clearly a draw.

@jerryhawkins7466

Жыл бұрын

Wesley will just push a3. If hikaru plays gxf5, Wesley's king will just capture the rook. In case hikaru plays Bxf5, white will just capture it with his bishop. Then if hikaru captures with a pawn, same scenario as ive stated above. And if hikaru captures the bishop via a rook. Then, wesley will just push the pawn to a2. Even if hikaru didn't capture with a rook and decide to prevent the pawn from promoting. At the end, wesley still has a major advantage having two major pieces.

This is a mate not a resignation...
