[@jesterofalltrades]

Thanks for the video Kingscrusher! I would have been lost in Shirov's position out of the opening. Fire on the board indeed!

[@JeremyNasmith]

Great game!! I've been waiting to see a fireworks game like this for a while. Nicely!

[@xVocalistx]

Ah thanks for posting these :)

[@MagikoZari]

great game and even greater commentry!
i wonder if a real GM could comment better than kingscrusher in general

[@SuperShakespeare]

at move 27 white was close to lost - ultra sharp reply: 27. .... Nxd5! 28. Rxd5 Qxc2 Ke1 Bxf6

[@robmct22]

crazy game

[@tuoljg]

wow berg almost did it, i think he had a very good possition in the opening.

[@Sheendude]

Amazing

[@majotnf]

one nice chess lecture... any exams comin' up too? ;)

[@TheBerkeleyBear]

logically

[@JeremyNasmith]

@MagikoZari Highly unlikely. KC has the commentary down pat!! (Didn't you know that KC also stands for King of Commentators??! ;)

[@BigBoyBlue]

What Chess program are you using?

[@gabadiel]

what gui do u use?

[@markomelesmiha]

At 4:00 instead of Nb6, why not Nxe4 winning the pawn...?

[@BlowDevilUp]

Nice

[@markomelesmiha]

@adhdboy699 okay, but then Nxc3 forking queen and rook and black will end with piece and pawn up...Mister Gavriel, please, we need some help here.

[@organicmangos]

@iLoveCalcio00 thematic

[@DriftingAimlessly]

@iLoveCalcio00 Thematic

[@wonCrash]

Qe2 is relatively common try, or at least, by know means unheard of. I personally prefer this system to the standard Qf3 systems because of the greater ability to handle quick Queenside pawn storms due to greater central control.

[@yawnyda1st]

Lots of use of the word "logically" :) Great game though.
