they said he has a minute and a half to win the game. actually he can win if his opponent resigns with alot of time on the opponents clock and not to mention the opponent can lose in time. The commentators are so retarded
LOL The one commentator was hillarious - that he called it a queen sacrifice at 6:18 shows he's not very knowledgeable about chess. If other guy recaptures as bjv says it's mate.
About the long 1:43 thinking about one move: perhaps he was doing it partially to psych out his opponent - it certainly didn't make a difference for the actual move he made.
@ForumLight not very knowledgeable? He's a grandmaster. I actually think he's doing a great job commenting the game. This is what chess needs. Keep it simple, yet capture the drama on the board. You have to remember that 99% of the target viewers have very little knowledge, so giving long lines in analysis is just pointless because only a very few could follow it. If you want to popularize chess, you can't alienate the spectators.
I know why he took so long. Anand is one of the few top players at this level to have ever lost in SEVEN moves and yes it was a Petroff also - he didn't want to repeat that mistake! That game went e4 e5 nf3 nf6 nxe5 d6 nf3 nxe4 nc3 bf5?? Qe2 , Qe7 Nd5
@ohorok2 Hope he beats Gelfand! But, his form hasnt been good in 2011 for some reason. He himself was saying that in an recent interview.Lets just hope he comes back roaring and give some whopping to him like he gave to Topalov.
@eggkunt and you have no idea what you're talking about, because for your information he is a GM called Maurice Ashley who i'm sure would beat the living shit out of your racist ass, so think it twice before calling someone a nigger, you stupid frightened man
@eggkunt Don't talk so ignorantly. You have no respect. Their are studies linking low IQ and low education with racism an dbeleiving in stereotype. :I can't help but agree that the more you learn in life (not just relying on whatever personal exerpience you have in life) the more open of a person you'll become. I hope you do that some day.
@eggkunt Sure I love blacks as much as whites, how's that an insult? Believe what you want, but i can tell you right now more than likely your parents were racist probably some of your friends are racist just because that's how things work. You just copy what you're taught. I hope you take the time to think for yourself one day. And you''ll realize there is nothing so special about color. People are people.. it's how they're raised.
@eggkunt He's a GM. his name is Maurice Ashley, and he intends to make it understandable for very wide audiance which includes sub patzers (1400- elo fide players)
@eggkunt A imbecile RACIST ! FKU idiot and retarded NAZI. you are a stupid with such a thought today.. At least ur mom think diferent of you . She love the BIG niggers :P hahahahah
@wingdudeman IF you believe that you have no idea. Of course they saw that instantly, but they are not commenting for a bunch of grandmasters only, but for people with very little to no knowledge. Then they have to keep it very simple, yet focus on the drama on the board.
Interesting. I'm new to Chess (as an adult- so don't expect me in the world championships :p), and this is the first time I've gotten to see that Chess- speed Chess anyway- can be watched and given commentary just like a physical sporting event. That's pretty cool :)
He was wondering whether he had put deodorant on that morning. He was trying to retrace all of his actions in the morning and picture the exact moment when he got out of the shower to determine whether he immediately put a shirt on or remembered to first apply deodorant.
it´s psychological!! come on!! a genius like him wasting so much time? I bet his adversary got crazy trying to figure out what he was thinking in, then he is more succeptible to make mistakes, lol
Wow I enjoyed this so much, I couldn't stop laughing, the commentators are hilarious!! So many great quotes, the more you know about chess the funnier it is.
@analyticannoyance u sure you don't mean 'less'? haha. ok it is funny, but it is also sad in another way. I guess for some weird ridiculous reason, the majority of people who watch chess have never played one game of it their entire life, and are about as stupid as a computer that can only analyze 1 move in advance.
whats up with the commentator?? this is not a football or basketball game "sacrificing the queen" come on!!! its mate on f1!!! thats not a sacrifice!!
@bjvandipohvak If white had taken the queen then he would have accepted the sacrifice. The queen could have been taken by a pawn...sounds like a sacrifice to me. It just wasn't accepted.
@bjvandipohvak Saying that he sacrificed the queen is still correct. He sacrificed up his queen and if his opponent got greedy then he would win with a mate. Whether or not he would've won with a mate at f1 is irrelevant to the fact that it's still technically a sacrifice.
4:25 "it seems as if he thought he was going to win this knight" LMAO. Tell me, what's better, that, or 6:18 where "Anand sacrifices his queen!!!!". I guess with only 3 minutes on the clock, Smirin had no time to realize his pawn was attacking the queen. How on earth could this commentary POSSIBLY be benficial to any chess player in the entire world. I do wonder if it is a joke though. If its just a joke then well done is all I can say, cuz its quite amusing.
@Vball2718 He knew the pawn was attacking the queen but it was not a true sacrifice in that if the pawn took the queen it would have been checkmate next move.
Holy fuck, did anyone catch those tactics after Anand captured the bishop with his rook? Like 5 or 6 moves in a row that not any mortal could see that fast. He's a beast.
Anand thought so much because he once played a huge blunder on the same opening and lost almost instantly that game. Go check "greatest GM blunders anand"
@ajzaf Highly plausible..in fact top class GMs like Vishy are known to do that in classic long games. But,in blitz, I think this is the 1st time I have ever seen someone take so much time for a single move and then win the game emphatically.
@FanjitaTowels No worries. Anand offered his queen as a sacrifice. Of course the "gift" can't be accepted without losing the game.
A grandmaster announcer is aware of this distinction. They are just keeping the game exciting for the layman by letting them know the queen is en pris.
@sotovo yes of course he is aware of the distinction but he shouldnt say "he sacrificed his queen" because its not a queen sac haha. also, an exchange sacrifice is not leaving pieces en pris, if he is intending to inform the layman then he should say, "he took the pawn and Smirin cant recapture because anand would be able to take his rook and checkmate on the back row." listen at 6:23 he could really do better than "unbelievable sacrifice" hahaha.
I figured it out, Anan knew he would win in speed, so he intentionally took 2 min to think on 4th move, giving his opponent a false sense of security.
he made a mustake he said annand was spending a minute thinking = 60 seconds and he had 4 minutes so a rule of 3 100 percent = 4m x 1m doing this 1x100=100 / 4= 25 percent this means annad spended a quarter of his time 25 percent not 20 percent as the comentator said (20 percent will be another way is 25=1minute
then 20 percent =x and it will be 20x1=20/25= 0,8 so
the comentator siad Annand was spending 20 percent of four minutes = 0,8
he made a mustake he said annand was spending a minute thinking = 60 seconds and he had 4 minutes so a rule of 3 100 percent = 4m x 1m doing this 1x100=100 / 4= 25 percent this means annad spended a quarter of his time 25 percent not 20 percent as the comentator said (20 percent will be another way is 25=1minute
then 20 percent =x and it will be 20x1=20/25= 0,8 so
the comentator siad Annand was spending 20 percent of four minutes = 0,8 seconds i would say HOW FAST!
Anand is simply amazing! What a champion! Maurice Ashley is the right guy to commentate on chess games. Others put be to sleep. I mean c'mon, chess is already a boring game to the public. Spice it p a bit! Fantastic commentating, as usual, from Maurice!
Anand simply used the time trick against his opponent, and effectively, Smirin got so impatient that he took lousy risks like trading three pawns for a piece too early in the game. These guys do these kinds of tricks all the time. This trick is most compared to dieting. When you lose weight, you gain it right back. And Smirin gain the weight right back with his impatience.
6:14 the black was not about to sacrifice his queen (like the commentator said) cos if the white took the black's queen, then rook would took white's rook and it would be checkmate for the white
@Tilan123 In tournament chess, you can lose by checkmate, by using up all your time, or by resigning when it is clear your position is hopeless. Grandmasters very rarely play on to checkmate. Anand won when Smirin resigned.
I agree with those who say that the commentators are a little too much, for exemple, he's not sacrificing his queen at all, white can't take, that's obvious for a gm. anyway, great game, still fun to watch!
@ChessNoir Thanx, I noticed just after posting it!
the initial reaction was basically because of over-reacting comments from commentators... They were like "aww... Anand what have you done..." But seriously seems like those commentators were like novice players....
@kiranyoutubification smirin resigned because there was no way of protecting his last 2 pawns from being taken. If he doesn't exchange rooks, anand could just move his rook to g3 and it's bye-bye pawns. anand can then queen both his connected passed pawns and easily win the game.
solo estaba recordando todas las variantes de la Petroff abtes de mover, para estar seguro, jajajajaa. es un genio.

I know this might sound dumb, I don't play chess often, but WHO WON? and HOW? I couldn't see a checkmate anywhere o.O
Tilan123 7 months ago
@Tilan123 In tournament chess, you can lose by checkmate, by using up all your time, or by resigning when it is clear your position is hopeless. Grandmasters very rarely play on to checkmate. Anand won when Smirin resigned.

@Crabitat Oh wow, cheers for that mate. It looked like the other guy was smashing Anand :S
Tilan123 7 months ago
@Tilan123 Just as crabitat said, grandmasters usually resign before checkmate (because it is inevitable).

I agree with those who say that the commentators are a little too much, for exemple, he's not sacrificing his queen at all, white can't take, that's obvious for a gm. anyway, great game, still fun to watch!

Wow, what a great game. Do you think Vishy's 4th move wait was a ploy?

Anand remembered the time he lost in 6 moves in the very same opening (look up Zapata-Anand 1988 at chessgames and laugh your butt off)

@6:19 Anand clearly put his queen in danger, why didn't smirin take his queen??
ksri66 9 months ago
@ksri66 if smirin takes the queen, it would open the f file for anand's rook to capture on f1 which is checkmate.
ChessNoir 9 months ago
@ChessNoir Thanx, I noticed just after posting it!
the initial reaction was basically because of over-reacting comments from commentators... They were like "aww... Anand what have you done..." But seriously seems like those commentators were like novice players....

i dint get the reason for resigning here -- anand was running short of time...
kiranyoutubification 9 months ago
@kiranyoutubification smirin resigned because there was no way of protecting his last 2 pawns from being taken. If he doesn't exchange rooks, anand could just move his rook to g3 and it's bye-bye pawns. anand can then queen both his connected passed pawns and easily win the game.

@kiranyoutubification He is profesional, he can make 40-50 moves in one minute with simple ending like this.
