@wallstreetatheist QxR Be5 which creates a skewer, Queen moves away and Aronian picks up the rook on b8 after that it looks like white has much better control over the queenside.
@2668860 It's an "en passant" capture, which means "in passing" in English. It's one of the three special rules of chess. It can only be done with pawns when one is moved out two spaces, another can capture by capturing its path.
Funny how nationalism even creeps into chess matches. Where a player comes from doesn't matter. I am a huge boxing fan, having boxed for ten years. And it's the same thing. Always comes down to race baiting, ethnic arguements and like nonsense.
@Pshoeshus As said before I am a chess arbiter. All moves must be executed with one hand (including castling) as per FIDE rule 4.1 and the clock must be pushed with the same hand (art 6.7b). Even in amateur competitions, playing with two hands would never be tolerated.
@azertyqsdf9 Well it is tolerated in most matches that has Nakamura in it. What you say is true, but it is not as strict as you have described it. On a side note, flaunting around your apparent title as an "chess arbiter on the internet doesn't accomplish anything. O look I'm typing this from a space shutter in orbit, because I'm a NASA astronaut.
If he takes the rook, Aronian's dark square bishop skewers Nakamura's queen to his rook. Nakamura also isn't getting that bishop in return, one square that allows for the recapture is guarded by the knight, the other has the line of attack blocked by the backfile bishop.
I love watching Nakamura lose. As much as I'd love to have an American World Champion, I'd root for anyone else in the world to beat Nakamura... well, anyone but Topolov.
@Raddlesby I don't like him because he's an arrogant ass. In once instance an interviwer (very graciously) compared his play to Bobby Fischer's, and Nakamura's response was simply to agree with him. Did you read his recent comments about Kasparov only being great because of his opening preparation? That's another example. He's just an arrogant prick with no respect.
@Raddlesby once in a blitz game (somewhere here on youtube) his opponent is about to queen their pawn so they take their queen in preparation to do it, and nakamura whispers under his breath: "*snort* yeah right". But he did it loudly enough so that everyone including the camera can hear it.
so is it legal now to take the pawn when it is beside the other now? I learned the "classic" way to play I guess. Unless this is just for this particular style of playing.
I never heard of this move until about a year ago, and I'm always playing Chess online or with anyone that I know that does play when I can. I watch videos with grand masters who I never see use the move. Why is that?
I'll let google explain how it works, but suffice it to say that it's a very specific situation when it comes up, so it's not as common as other moves.
@MrRazorblade999 Two clocks in one housing. Each has the same number of minutes and count down to 0. Black starts Whites clock by pushing the button on his side. That starts White's clock running and will continue to run while he is thinking about his move. After White completes his move he pushes the button on his side and it stops his clock from running and starts Black's clock. And so they repeat until the game is won or drawn or someone's clock runs down to 0, which is a time forfeit (loss).
@bigresonance That I understand. But they seem to win time the faster they move. At the end Nakamura's clock goes from 10 seconds left to 7 seconds left and then back to 10 seconds left. Same with Aronian's clock. I don't get that.
@MrRazorblade999 Every time a player completes his/her turn they normally receive 2 seconds of thinking time added to their overall time. If a player takes less than 2 seconds to make their move they gain time.
@MrRazorblade999 i don't know how much they've agreed upon in the match. time increments, usually in seconds, are added to your remaining time the quicker you respond to a move. like lets say if you've responded in 2 secs you'll be added 3.
@Apoic123: "i thought asians were not known to be grandmasters of chess, but chinese checkers.: - you obviously never heard of the Asian game Xiang Qi. Look up you might learn something.
if a player castles touching the king first, this is quite unambiguous. If he touches the rook first (and touching BOTH at the same time is taking a risk) then the arbiter can insist it was a room move alone and not allow castling.
I bet you won´t see anyone besides Nakamura using both hands for making a move (like castling) in all of these vids, because it is sometimes allowed according to USCF (rule 4a and b) ... when castling, capturing a piece or by promoting a pawn.
Fide however states (rule 4.1) that you´re only allowed to use ONE hand, also in blitz games. I learned that as a 10 year old, so the GM surely do know as well. This tourney was under Fide laws... but Aronian didn't make a deal about it.
Maybe he noticed and thats why he took rather longer before stopping his clock, so that it wouldn'd be taking unfair time advantage. But like you said, aronian wouldn't care... would you? ;) thanks for the ruling clarification, btw
@keithbcook i hope you dont mind me asking...but i am a fairly new player hoping to become decent at the game...what caused the castle by nakamura to be illegal?
LOL!!! how can someone as high rated as nakamura miss SIMPLE rxd6 tactic???? that's totally INEXCUSABLE and he really deserved to lose this game after such an early blunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO ARONIAN!!! for those of you who dont know also aronian's an INCREDIBLE bughouse player. (bughousemaster (dot) com !)
point am tryinmg to make is not which hand (or both) that is used, but that the king ought to move first, He play rook and king together which (in normal chess anyway) is at best bed practice and worse illegal, where he could have been asked to move just the rook
As much as i'd like to have an American be a contender for the world championship, I have to admit I enjoy watching Nakamura lose. He seems like such a prick...
this is not a crush whatsoever...Naka had many missed tactical opportunities, that if he had seen any of them, would have led to a victory for black. given that's the case, you cannot call this a crush at all.
@keithbcook No. In Blitz you are allowed to use both hands to castle and to promote, as long as you show a clear intention of doing so. The video clear shows that it was intention, as he moved his king two squares.
Actually naka missed a win on two occasions. One of them in the latter stages when he used the wrong knight for a check followed by a back rank rook check. And the other was to roll his rook between two white minor pieces. But then again who doesnt blunder in blitz. But just to show what a class act he was there is NO RECORDED EVIDENCE OF BOBBY FISCHER EVER LOSING A GAME OF BLITZ IN HIS GLORY YEARS. Just b4 his clash with spassky , in a blitz t,ounament in moscow he won it.(14 wins/2 draws!!)
Can Anyone explain to me more why Nakamura didn't take the rook? After Be5, couldn't nakamura just move the queen, and then once the bishop takes the rook, nakamura can take back with his rook? So nakamura would be up a bishop?
what i like bout naka, he seems honest in his analyses. most titled players check with with computer before talk, he actually says he doesnt see it or know. bur maybe im wrong and it was just verry quick after games.
@YtubeUserr i think u are confused, the fact u r using chess terms doesnt mean u understand it,
as i said : based in his huge advantage aronian traded some major pieces (included his queen) triying to let Naka with some pieces imposible to him to reach a win (although aronian lose some exchanges, as u pretend)
at 7:46 (....Bf2) aronian starts to smash naka, its imposible for that poor rook fight againts that huge, terrific pair of knights : that is the whole point of those exchanges.
@7:31 Why didn't Leva play Qc2 and not lose the queen? Is it just me or are the blitz games by even the best of the best GMs riddled with ridiculous blunders?
fighting spirit by Naka!! What a legendary blitz player. Of course needless to say that he also is a top pro at std time controls, but he will forever be remembered for his out of the ordinary feeling for blitz, akin to the ways of the blitz god Alexander the Great Sasha Grischuk!
If you take a look at 7:01: Naka was so hypnotized by his two knights in the opponents territory that he was totally blind for his queen beeing trapped on f6:-) Its good to see that even GMs are humans :-)
exactly 12 seconds for aronian to snip the pawn: if Naka can somehow get out of, break the habit of bullet chess and slide into true blitz, just a whit more second or so given to blitz assessment he still, at least to me, could be the best blitz player
in the world: came very close this tourney, but his bad bullet habits landed him in
Rxd6! didnt see that coming

I forgot to give Aronian his due!
He is a tremendous player in all time controls, and honestly, he is who I predict will dethrone Vishy in the next WC match.

@WeinerschnitzeI Your prediction is wrong! Anand will crush Gelfand

fighting spirit by Naka!! What a legendary blitz player. Of course needless to say that he also is a top pro at std time controls, but he will forever be remembered for his out of the ordinary feeling for blitz, akin to the ways of the blitz god Alexander the Great Sasha Grischuk!

Hmm, so after Rxd6 if black takes Qxd6 there is Be5 and take rook on b8 i think..

@oxiigen Of course - otherwise Rxd6 is just a blunder!

Rxd6 and nakamura almost suicide after see than the queen is pinned after Be5 cuz the rook at b8 :P

@zippofuck Not a pin, but a skewer. A pin is when the more valuable piece is behind the attacked one.

Nakamura needs to learn a few things about good behaviour.

On 8:06 Naka could have played Ra3-d3 instead of b4-b3 and white has to fight far the draw, most likely lost in practice (blitz)

Mura needs to calm down , can not play a good chess flipping out like that
he acted through entire tournament like there were needles up his arse

If you take a look at 7:01: Naka was so hypnotized by his two knights in the opponents territory that he was totally blind for his queen beeing trapped on f6:-) Its good to see that even GMs are humans :-)

notice aroniaon had his clock hovering around ten seceonds for nearly half the game, was moving on the two second inc: that is some kind of skill

@doctornoooo Yes but he was also using the opponents time too, but I agree amazing skill

exactly 12 seconds for aronian to snip the pawn: if Naka can somehow get out of, break the habit of bullet chess and slide into true blitz, just a whit more second or so given to blitz assessment he still, at least to me, could be the best blitz player
in the world: came very close this tourney, but his bad bullet habits landed him in
the second row.
