2012 Tata Steel Chess - Anish Giri vs. Levon Aronian

[TheSqueakSquad64]

queen to q4 would force the rook to go back

[jorik0907]

@ChessNetwork What do you think of Anash Giri? As being Dutch, I really like him very much and i see him as a talent in chess.

[bizonmaciej]

Aronians a Bad Mutha - Rank#2

[andyhug111]

this game is one of the deep game ever!

[polariseke]

Very good analysis. Thank you!

[xxxIronLeexxx]

Please call him "Amish Girl" from now on. That would be funny as hell.

[gillywibble]

Cracking finish.

[ArtsewS]

nice vid



[mattyismadness]

Hey, wondering what stops ....Nh5 after e3? Noticed this was played often this tourney. Seems like white loses his dark bishop and must recapture the Knight by doubling pawns??? Please help me understand the purpose of this bizarre bishop move and why white would chose to trap this bishop with e3? All help appreciated! Thanks in anticipation.

[ChessNetwork]

@mattyismadness Might doubled pawns have a strong benefit? Namely a half open h-file and future pressure maybe against the black king. Nh5 Bg3 NxB hxN

[mattyismadness]

@ChessNetwork thanks for the ideas....I never really ever see doubling pawns as an advantage. Will look more closely next time, lol.

[keghamminas]

Rf8xBf3 is decisive ! Aronian is a great strategist .

Very good game and video.

[samyhere1]

promise 1 thing to us jerry,you'll never stop making these videos?:)

[42tehfloor]

It's great that you're still making these videos Jerry. I love the livestreams, especially the five minute games, but these YouTube videos are my favorite, and are main resource for learning to play better. Thank you.

[ChessNetwork]

@42tehfloor Great! :)

Very Good Video

[Kyouhun8]

Jerry, may you flip the board next time, so we can view from the perspective of the person who won the game? Thanks

[kosmaster199]

these are great games...thanks for doing the commentary on them, definitely helps me learn a lot and improve my games

[musicguitar]

i wish you lived in my city, so i can get chess lessons from someone who really understands the game. Thanks for sharing!!

[ChessNetwork]

@musicguitar You're welcome. Thanks for commenting. :)

[alkadura]

First of all, you wont see a comment from me in which i am not saying thank you for your fantastic videos.

I am just wondering, in the final position why white didnt try to sac his queen for the rook followed by taking c3 with the knight. As far as I can see, he would would have 2 rooks for a queen and a pawn, and eventually a tenable position, but I am sure there must be a tactical refutation which I am missing. Would be glad to hear an answer ;)

[ChessNetwork]

@alkadura I forget to include this so that there'd be more closure. If QxN, then BxQ and Nxc is met by Qxd+ Kc2 Bg6+ Kb3 Qc4+ Kb2 Qxb4+ and then QxN.

[Djole0]

Please make a video of the game Carlsen against Topalov that happend on the 2012 Tata steel tournament? Please!

[tantzer]

Very clear and insightful, as usual.

[konfucii]

Great! Thanks a lot!

[roidrageeeee]

Jerrrrryyy i remember watching twitch when you played against the impossible computer can you do that again sometime haha that was really fun to watch :)

[jrpg20]

For me, someone that's using this videos for learning purposes I think it would be really good if you used the black stripe on one of the sides to annotate the moves :) Would make it a lot easier to ask questions here on the comments and even follow the action. Anyways, love the videos that cover recent tournament games.

[dumpnchase]

Thanks for video. Very interesting positional play.

[dakilla254]

Cool video br0.

[Minkki82]

I just wish whites and blacks could get along....

Great video Jerry, this was probably one of the best games thus far from tata steel. Lev's been playing really well (although he lost to Carlsen!)

[AericWinter]

Nice ex sac by Aronian! I'm impressed.

[SMGG74]

at 9:06 would there be any reason why white wouldn't want to do knight d6?

[Renanbrazp]

if Ktd6 then Rd8 wins the knight

[spriteofbones]

Aronian was beast on this game. Sent the youngster back to school with a print of his foot carved upon the ass.

[barsorrro]

Thank you, Jerry! A game of high complexity -- there would hardly be chance of a couch player like me making heads and tails of it on their own :). Thank you very much for the time devoted on making such detailed and yet clear and easy to understand analyses. What makes yours special are the insights into the variant lines of the openings: hugely appreciated!

[17arkrage]

Yes, a Jerry upload :D

[iliginjaili]

Good to see an upload , thanks jerry. Surprised you havnt covered more tata steel this year it's a strong field

[rajivgod]

me arken_gm jerry good man keep it up !!!



[ChessNetwork]

@rajivgod :)

[eatherquake]

Thank you very much. I saw this game live on tatasteel and was wondering about the final position and about some weird move (well i thought they were ;)), but as always, your explanations helped me understanding everything :)

[fenetre109]

Great game (poor Giri) excellent comments!

[MrPeto1212]

Levon crashed Giri

[m83ikael]

as always its cool signing into youtube and have a new chessnetwork video waiting for you :)

[ChessNetwork]

@m83ikael Thanks, and similarly having a new comment to the video. :)

[LuckyNumbers7]

i wish i could see these ideas when i play

[LuckyNumbers7]

@truedevilslicer1 this hangs f3 and weakens the king

[mscyrone]

@truedevilslicer1 because the a-pawn is not important. white needs the queen to defend his position and really doesn't care about the a-pawn ;-)

[Carlisle412]

Aronian deserves to win the tournament.

[illusion887]

Why does everyone like saying Jerry's name? I guess it's because its a fun name to say and Jerry sounds like a swell guy.

[spatenface]

at the whole knight situation at 09:30 i would probably have tried to put pressure on g5 to weaken blacks position, regardless of what his knight is up to because the situation will change immediately. possibly by putting f3 to f4. but im just a beginner^^

[kaewonf8]

Excellent! A real "Karpovian" finish by Aronian. More Tata Steel please Jerry!

[ibrahimanees1]

Hi jerry

This is the best analysis I ever saw on youtube then i started to check out your other videos and they were awesome too i subscribed and thanks for addidng me as a friend (reply to this comment that i know u read it) :)

[ChessNetwork]

@ibrahimanees1 Thanks for the feedback/compliment. I read all comments. :)

[Pedobreach]

I'm glad you didn't turn the board to the blackside, I pretty much hate watching a game where that spoils the result.

[EricSmyth14]

I'm addicted to your voice.

[MrSIDHARTH213]

jerry's back:)

[majorsromo]

Anish getting shown how it's done.

[misterkefir]

sweet vid ;)

[Comosiem]

Awesome Jerry!

[pito0987654321]

Comment :) Great game

[DanielManahan]

why not at 11:30 white checks and takes the black a pawn hitting the knight?

[0815hanni]

@DanielManahan maybe because of the queen on e7? :)

[kolibrizas]

Just curious: why haven't you turned the board since black won? Btw, nice review of the game :))

[yeonkarSR]

@kolibrizas it will give away the score ? maybe.

[kolibrizas]

@yeonkarSR yeah but he used to turn the board before. nvm

[nemesis4go10]

Jerry you are the man.

[lastwarrior2004]

Why isn't f4 played after black closes the diagonal with d5

[jzkunlun]

Carlsen lost the lead. Aronian is in good form.

[kristof80able]

more more more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lastwarrior2004]

Ive been following tata steel, really interesting, looks like Aronian could easily win it.

[isavin1730]

Very insightful commentary, well done, sir!

[ahsan400]

Nice!!! thanks

[MrChichinus]

at 2.10 white could do e2 e4

[4panta]

A HUGE THANK U AGAIN JERRY!

Im following the games LIVE at tatasteelchessCOM

They should really hire You as a LIVE Commentator!

Aronian and Giri are one of my fav. players. So u picked the right game :D

.

[jtdavis62]

White's problems, according to Aronian, started with Qc2. And Black doesn't have to take on b3 but could find much better moves, say c5, Bc6, or even Bd6, as in the game.

[raby760]

@15:47 I felt like saying "Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive".

[JLew805]

Haha "a very tall pawn". Keep putting up videos Jerry, they're great

[SamPaxton3]

@JLew805

thank you for properly using "they're" instead of their or there

[numbcore]

@SamPaxton3 lol

[qurdel1]

Huge Thanks to you Jerry i was following all Tournament games Live and was actually about to suggest that you should make an analysis of some, and then i open youtube -> Upload!!! :)

Please let the Videos come more frequently not any chess channel out there is even nearly as insightful as yours ;)

[SuperEpicCake]

Go Aronian!!! He's on 7.5 and in the lead and infront of Carlsen!!!

[WfireH]

YESSSSS
