Problem at 7:42: 1. Rd2! Kf4 (if Bxd2 then 2. Qf1#) 2. Rf2#.

[@SurenAghabekyan]

That's the move dear Bernard! Nice to see you back! Greetings

Greetings, Suren!

Always loved your channel. Never any fluff. Straight to the critical position.
I don't understand why they didn't move this way? Then you explain the faults.
At this point anyone who plays should have an understanding of the first 10 pairs of moves..
Would love to see more Polish/orangutan openings (b4) from top players.
Thanks

[@SurenAghabekyan]

probably I have only 2 videos from that opening! Fun to see that move, lol! Thank friend for you feedback!

[@bentheunissen6568]

Hey man, do you know the name/make of the chess set in your intro? I think we might have the exact same one!

[@tomthecat268]

Bishop sacrifice was mind-blowing. My feeble brain wouldn't have thought of it.

[@peace2652]

Aw. ☹️ He looks so sad.

[@vcvartak7111]

shirov could have played rf8 after bf4 to prevent pawn promotion

[@vladislavchessmate1567]

Why Qb1 doesn't work?

[@blue_red_screen]

Has ter sahakyan appeared on this channel before?

[@SurenAghabekyan]

yes, he even was live twice accepting challenges! Happy to see him beat Rapport today!

[@RedGuy-wy2gg]

Can I get a notation onscreen?

[@SurenAghabekyan]
