    This seems like a great example of the war strategy "create dilemma not problems" problems have solutions dilemma's have no great solution and drag the problem on. Another way to say this is "to take is a mistake" instead of pouncing on the weaknesses he exposes he delays taking advantage of them until he absolutely has to which keeps the dilemma in Hikarus head

Of course it was chess so easy to understand, now after all these years Danish is easy enough to read and to understand. Very difficult to speak it so that Danes understand,luckily you lot are so kind and understanding of both Norwegian and my native English.

      Ever since Kramnik exposed Nakamura, he hasn't be the same. He can't even find basic tactics on the board. Hikaru's true elo is probably in the lower 1400's.

  • @exisfohdr3904
    @exisfohdr3904 Před 2 měsíci

    Wow, f6 was first thing that came to mind for me. It blocks h5 from going h6 to support g6 pawn if it pushes. Black bishop would become tied to the h8 square if not. This would lead to either losing d2 or Hikaru getting a queen.

  • @kisslas
    @kisslas Před 2 měsíci

    I didn't see how it was winning, but it seemed quite obvious to me that by not playing h6 I would be losing. It seems to me that the greatness lies not in finding h6 (what those commentators were thinking, I can't imagine... I'm definitely not great, and judging from the comments, lots of others found this, too) but in the ability to follow up with a series of moves that eventually forced Hikaru into submission.

    Definitely, I assume now: Magnus is the best chess player in history! Recently wining random chess ( You are really talented chess player if you play this one well without any theory or preparation) and playing with his opponents like with toys! He was playing little psychological games with them: Let them win first game and devasted them in rest of match! They all have impression they could win, but they were sooo optimstic!

  • @yidiandianpang

    It is obvious that when prompted that there is an opportunity for a good move with so few pieces on the board and infinite time many are going to find it.
    But the comments make it apparent that many people have never competed in anything in their live if they are able to delude themselves into thinking it would have been simple on low time in a tournament with the best players in the world.
