19 ...Rc4 was nice

[gologram]

Why White Queen didn't take pawn on d3 afrer Black blocked its defender with his Rook?There was no useful retreats of the Rook after Queen takes pawn.

[drakeghoul2]

@gologram No useful retreats, sure. But bringing the other rook to c3 would be crushing.

[IndyJoner]

played a similar line the other day and won but no way near as convincing and educational. thanks KingCrusher again!

[alekzander93]

Nice video kingscrusher :)

Keep up the good work!

[RelaxoII]

saw this vid 3 times and finally noticed the white rook is taken with a discovered check which is a good reason to give up. probably I will give up faster my next game :] thanks to more experience.

you never play boring, which I do so often. the doubled pawn looks so awkward to me but wins, in a way. and your voice is top ! just neat over all

[NotThat3]

How about 20. Qxd3?

[oxiigen]

20.Qxd3 is bad because of 20...Rac8 winning material. But white missed 22.Qxd3 which almost equalize.

[mule51]

24 Qxd3 is also possible

[samirhossain]

ouch that was painful to watch.....KC you crushed him :) nice

[2Jef]

What was playing in the background? That was crazy. Big Trouble in Little China?

[dagharr2]

lady in the water. a classic.

[Supreme4321]

16. rb8 i think is best move and from a continue variation you win as piece

16.Ne1 rb8 17. Rb1 rxb18. kxb1 qxd2 19. kxd2 Bxf2 winning a piece

[geekorthodox9]

domination of the queen side

[amplify1492]

what fun!

[Ruxistico]

First he spends a huge amount of time solving his problems, finds a good move and blunders terribly on the next. I've seen that sequence a lot - I wonder if it is some kind of typical psychological phenomenon?

[111Socrates777]

It would be interesting to see if you could use these ideas in longer games

[sodayodadude1]

KC im wondering if rybka see's that fork or likes it for black?

[Ruxistico]

it wins back the exchange and keeps blacks huge attack. Any engine will like it - but some may find stronger variations.

[MrFedel]

No i think it doesnt just win exchange, i think it also wins a whole rook because after king moves and knight takes, then queen is checking so after Kf4 then Ne2. Correct me if im wrong,

[paparodendro1]

Γειά σου ρε Τρύφωνα με τις ωραίες παρτίδες σου!

[AR333]

interesting opening
