in my neck of the woods we say "a knight on the rim is kinda weird, don't do that unless you really want to but really, it's kinda not great as a general rule."
Lol, love the sass. "What a move by Kramnik. Where does he come up with these? Is there any engine assistance going on. Who knows ... in this day and age."
You'll enjoy it even more once you start playing, today it's very easy to get started with all the websites offering lessons and rating-based matchmaking. Easiest it's ever been.
When will the injustice ever end?! Previously, his opponents just cheat to get the best moves. Now they can already cause him to do blunders!! This is already another level of cheating!
Twelve minutes of typically brilliant commentary, but it was all a stealthy set-up for the biggest laugh I've had watching a chess video: bravo and thank you! Can't believe I wasn't subscribed yet, but am now.
They're playing the end game with 1 second moves per turn, each trying to make their remaining 5 seconds count for 5 minutes (you get a +1 second per move or something, so the clock doesn't dwindle).
In my area, the phrasing is: “a knight close to the edge of the board has no manners and has lost their way in the world, in addition to not knowing their times tables.” Brutal, I know.
Everyone is freaking out about how he found that knight fork at the end, but I'm still more impressed by his top engine move on turn 3, which wasn't even a fork, I mean, how did he play that!! Cheat
Fun video: This game is indeed a great game to show how Kramnik has become unhinged in his accusations. Kramnik outplays the guy, yeah, but then blunders in the time scramble. If he can't see how this one had nothing to do with computer assistance, then holy smokes. 2k player here and there is nothing that jumps out to me about assistance with this one (maybe the one move you call out for KRAMNIK, but not something I see a shred of evidence for.)
Kramnik does not even believe he was outplayed in Candidate matches by elite GMs as can seen in vids on CZcams. he never accepts having losing position although defeated. he is always like "I am winning here, I just lack one tempo", or saying "if only I get one tempo, I would have won". if this denial has happened in lost or drawn candidate games with the elites, then it is not hard to imagine his denial attitude to much inferior players like IMs and FMs. I am not Kramink hater, who would? the guy is amusing.
11:50 I analyzed this position with Stockfish. It took over 30 minutes, multithreading on all CPUs to find the winning move, which clearly shows that Mahdi isn't cheating.
11:55 Mahdi managed to find that fork with just 5 seconds left on the clock. 🤯 That's mind-blowing. I think that move alone vindicates Kramnik on just about everything. I feel so dumb for ever doubting him. 😞
I don't accuse Kramnik of using an engine, but the fact remains that a human super-GM would never move into a fork like that, whereas an engine set to 600 ELO might. I don't choose to do the procedure on him (this time), but it's something to think about.
the over the top commentary is hilarious! at least, i assume you were taking the mickey on the knight fork move. Even i saw it instantly and i dont even really play chess!
Perhaps Nf6 was engineered by advanced computer science, where one teleports into the future, installs a wifi chip in their brain, and it automatically downloads/processes the top engine moves from the year in question for some lucky folks. Or maybe he just went by instinct. He would've seen Kramnik's move, and instantly spotted the fork. I think even a 400 rated player could find this in seconds
You left two sides of the board without the eval bar. How am I supposed to know if Kramnik should do the procedure?
Actually the very reason i downvoted this video.
"you could give magnus this position in a classical game" top notch humour
1st grade humor. Or, to be precise, kindergarden humor.
@@nickname5103Someone doesn't have a sense of humor
@@KemosabeTBC Correct.
And someone has a sense for 3rd class humor.
@@nickname5103 I'll take it over no humor
@@KemosabeTBCill take it over no humor as well. Let old grandpa be grumpy 😡 .
The knight threatening two pieces at once. This move is so good it should have a name. Like "spooning" or something.
I vote for giddy up, and yell “ye-haw” when you put them in a furcating position
@@petersan9633 forcating, you said? ;-)
How about knifing - because it was right in-between? I'm sure someone will figure out a utensil name that puts their tongs in the road.
That’s a really good idea actually 😁
@@CarandRacershould be called an avocado slicer imo
Lol the sarcasm dripping off that knight move commentary 😂
2:57 “Knight on the rim; outlook is grim; your chances are slim and your tactics are dim.”
Even better 😁
At least, that's the mim...er meme.
I'm gonna go on a whim, that knights can't swim...
@@DecrepitBiden Yep, wearing all that armor, he's sinking straight to the bottom!
😆😆😆
lol love how you played up that elementary knight fork. "How does he do it? Even Magnus might not have spotted it in a classical game" ha ha ha
Very funny. Hilarious. If you are mentally challenged.
I still don't see why it was a blunder.
Brilliant
Too funny to hear that Magnus would struggle to find such fork in one move ... 🤣🤣🤣
The procedure speaks for itself.
I'm amazed that the irony doesn't make you fall out of your chair. Congrats for keeping a straight face.
Stiff upper lip works both ways
haha yeah not easy sometimes
That 1 move ahead fork calculation is indeed very SUS :D
11:54 comedy gold 🤣
Ironic - twenty years ago Kramnik was known "to play like a computer"....
He still is. 66hmz 486.
Good one
Someday they may turn the computer on
Kramnik be like:
blyat how is there double eval bar?! start the procedure!
Yeah man that fork at the end is definitely interesting. We should definitely start a tweet storm about this and do the procedure!
I have a fever... and the only prescription is more eval bars
Very good
More procedures*
he blunders and blames the other guy, he needs mental health intervention
TBH, he didn't blame anyone in this instance as far as we know. But for the sake of humor it's best to assume that he did.
He said he did the procedure on 2/8. I think it's fair to assume this guy was one of them lol since he did well the other games@@howard5992
in my neck of the woods we say "a knight on the rim is kinda weird, don't do that unless you really want to but really, it's kinda not great as a general rule."
Ah yeah I know that one classic saying
Lol, love the sass. "What a move by Kramnik. Where does he come up with these? Is there any engine assistance going on. Who knows ... in this day and age."
🤣
No human plays Ng6 in that position.
The hardest fork anyone can see 😢 that fork deserves to be in the best chess puzzle of the century
The sarcasm in this video is off the charts, haha.
11:52 "Can you find the tactical shot? Not easy" 😂
I really like the kind of humor this channel is developing into. Thumbs up - very entertaining
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed!
Kramnik yells at clouds again
Lolll
I suspect there was some engine help in scripting the level of sarcasm in this recap.
🤣😂😅
how did you put those eval bars in so fast????
‘’OK, let’s do the procedure, block…’’ 😂😂😂😂
Mahdi should have done the procedure on him figuring that Kramnik can't possibly be that bad and so someone must be impersonating him.
These videos are so fucking good. Those photos of Kramnik 😂
Cracks me up, I don't even play chess!!! lol 🤘🤘
😆
I think even kramnik laughs looking at these videos.
To be fair… he probably doesn’t ;)
I can see myself blundering the rook to simplest forks under time pressure, but then again my elo is zero.
Such an entertaining presenter. Always got the jokes to go with the good analysis
Thanks a lot!
A knight on the rim slips right in.
In my region we say a knight is a new prime minister who gambits with the truth.
Haha
Kramnik should be reported for stealing Kate Bush's hair
😂
kh4 in that position is a very common move to get the king into the attack of the enemy king with all pieces on board 😂
lol, that king move at 2.36 hahha
that last bit about "Even Magnus in classical probably wouldn't find this move!" got me so good haha
Hahaha glad you enjoyed cheers for watching
I have no idea about chess, I just watch for the commentary.
You'll enjoy it even more once you start playing, today it's very easy to get started with all the websites offering lessons and rating-based matchmaking. Easiest it's ever been.
❤Let's do the procedure...❤
2:58 translated: knight on the rim, is a disgrace.
Original 🇩🇪: „Springer am Rand, ist `ne Schand`. “
The awesome "camel toe pawn formation"!
0:13 he was an absolute rockstar
The King move at 2:44 hahaha
A knight on the rim is dim, but a horse on course is a force.
Here we say a knight on the rim is like a drunk mule.
I rewatched it 3x and replayed the game and never saw that winning fork. It's clearly unseenable cheating.
😂
Lol the Kh4 "standard move" tho. Nice Easter Egg.
This game would've turned out far different if Kraminik played KH4 at 2:40
wow 3 months already... time flies.
When you’re having fun?
A knight on the rim enjoys Mr.Hands
When will the injustice ever end?! Previously, his opponents just cheat to get the best moves. Now they can already cause him to do blunders!! This is already another level of cheating!
In Icelandic “riddari úti á kanti líkist dauðum fanti”.
Or “a knight on the edge looks like a dead bully”
Haha
Twelve minutes of typically brilliant commentary, but it was all a stealthy set-up for the biggest laugh I've had watching a chess video: bravo and thank you! Can't believe I wasn't subscribed yet, but am now.
Haha thanks very much for the sub and kind words, glad you enjoyed!
at 10.47. why didnt black check to take the final prawn?
Unknown, need to do the procedure.
They're playing the end game with 1 second moves per turn, each trying to make their remaining 5 seconds count for 5 minutes (you get a +1 second per move or something, so the clock doesn't dwindle).
@@alexkt3400 not an excuse to miss that move
When you put Kf4 on the board, I was waiting for the typical "No, he did not play that, it would have been crazy."
And I kept waiting.
Haha
Hmm, I'm absolutely not good at chess, really bad actually but I saw that fork immediately. Did I miss a joke here?
No, it's not a joke. It's Epic's sort of irony.
Yeah just playing how Kramnik keeps accusing ppl of amazing move I was being sarcastic that it’s an amazing move to find haha
@@epicchess2021 Hahaha that's what I thought!!!
The procedure is real.
In my area, the phrasing is: “a knight close to the edge of the board has no manners and has lost their way in the world, in addition to not knowing their times tables.”
Brutal, I know.
🤣🤣 one of the best yet for sure
🤣🤣🤣 brilliant!
What about the intro of the video. 1 minute of Masterclass for creator content. Appreciate that editing.
haha thanks took me way too long tonight to do the intro xD
I imagine Roast with you, Magnus and Hans sense of humour. I used to watch for educational reasons now i cant focus 😂🤣
haha thanks glad you enjoyed
Loved the energy in this vid mate! Great vid!
Glad you enjoyed thanks a lot!
Kramnik aged like spoiled milk. He use to look awesome
Mahdi did well after falling behind to about 14 seconds vs 51.
I don't know how you keep a straight face.
haha sometimes I don't :D
"maybe even double underlined" 🤣🤣🤣
Blunder fork - 😐
Clownik gambit - 😮
I'm really bad at chess but I saw that fork ....
Everyone is freaking out about how he found that knight fork at the end, but I'm still more impressed by his top engine move on turn 3, which wasn't even a fork, I mean, how did he play that!! Cheat
😂😂
the kramnik scrolls
Perfect.
Wow, a fork, stockfish invented those, pretty sure
It goes to show that anyone can make that mistake/blunder. Thank you for this content 😊
11:49 onwards, my sarcasm detector just blew up, I will be sending you an invoice for a replacement soon.
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Crumbs, Kramnik got forked!
Everyone forgetting about Kramniks past and only sees the big looser he is now (in every way)...what a strange way to proceed...
Fun video: This game is indeed a great game to show how Kramnik has become unhinged in his accusations. Kramnik outplays the guy, yeah, but then blunders in the time scramble.

Not all the heroes wear a mask.
Funniest chess analysis ever on this channel. Should be much better known.
thanks a lot haha

I am not Kramink hater, who would? the guy is amusing.
yeah when he was retiring he was 'winning' every position! Was winding up the other guys for sure
11:50 I analyzed this position with Stockfish. It took over 30 minutes, multithreading on all CPUs to find the winning move, which clearly shows that Mahdi isn't cheating.
😂😂
Epic chess is a linguistical genius. Probably 50% of all word plays used in every video are lost on the audience, it's almost every sentence
Thanks for the kind words much appreciated! Glad you’re enjoying cheers for watching
@@epicchess2021 thanks for taking the time bro
2:36 love the king H4 option, always learning things on this channell
haha glad to hear xD
11:55 Mahdi managed to find that fork with just 5 seconds left on the clock. 🤯 That's mind-blowing. I think that move alone vindicates Kramnik on just about everything. I feel so dumb for ever doubting him. 😞
A night outside is true and tried , but with no k your brain is fried.
🤣😂😅
Knight on the rim is half in the bin
I don't accuse Kramnik of using an engine, but the fact remains that a human super-GM would never move into a fork like that, whereas an engine set to 600 ELO might. I don't choose to do the procedure on him (this time), but it's something to think about.
great point there 🤣🤣🤣
Stockfish move 3. Nc3! OMG
Kramnik must really hate you - lol- you really got wild at this "what the fork" basic blunder... lol
the over the top commentary is hilarious! at least, i assume you were taking the mickey on the knight fork move. Even i saw it instantly and i dont even really play chess!
Kramnik on the rim is dim!
And Kramnik under fork is dork!
@@u.v.s.5583 🤣🤣🤣
Sarcasm lol. How did he find that move
Kg8-f4 is a move any six year old would play (who doesn't know the rules of chess). Well played, Epic.
Interesting. Now everything is clear to me.
Gotta learn that Kh4 … brilliant move
I let stockfish run for 30 minutes on my Intel 386 with 64kb RAM and it finally found the fork at depth 1!
😂😂😂
Perhaps Nf6 was engineered by advanced computer science, where one teleports into the future, installs a wifi chip in their brain, and it automatically downloads/processes the top engine moves from the year in question for some lucky folks. Or maybe he just went by instinct. He would've seen Kramnik's move, and instantly spotted the fork. I think even a 400 rated player could find this in seconds
Can Kramnik please just stop lol.
Excellent video
