Nigel Short's King March (Greatest Chess Games)

[Bartek3523]

in 0:44 you can take this pawn by queen, black can't move his e7 pawn

[ivolol]

@Bartek3523 There is no e7 pawn in this position...

[gabsvorono]

what about Kh2 Bc8! with the idea of taking the rook?

[MrRodzilla]

maybe moving the king to h7 early a good defence?

[alexios123]

what if the black play the bishop to c8 at first move? the problem is that black lost two tempos with the rook

[alexios123]

what if the black play the bishop to c8 at first move?

[fearlab]

@alexios123 Bc8 Ng5 Bxd7 Rf4 followed by Rxf7

[alexios123]

@fearlab Bc8 Ng5 Qxd7 not Bxd7, Rxd7 Bxd7

i will not eat the rook with the bishop i will do it with the queen. I will take two rooks for a queen

[fearlab]

Respond to this video... I mean followed by Nxf7

I've played Nigel Short in a simultaneous setting at our school in Bolton. He beat 20 of us at once. Not surprised he came up with this.

@chunkysajchunky beating 20 of you is not that great of an accomplishment...beating 1 GM is

[candyman566]

cant black take on a4 and then take on c2 to defend?

[GeniusProphecy]

@candyman566 Yes, White can no longer follow his normal plan. However, Black has removed the pressure off g2, allowing White to move his knight. White wins after 31...Qxa4 32.Ng5! as Black can't defend his kingside. My computer is displaying checkmate in 9 moves.

lol i thought i was stupid not seeing this coming >_>

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

WHOA lol that's crazy

[Zombiebrainstew]

the king/queen mate is amazing, i wasnt even looking at the king when you said pause the video, obviously why im no champion at chess lol

[GeniusProphecy]

Apparently Nigel Short is the master at this. He beat Kasparov with a similar, but not as spectacular, king march.
