A live Blitz game #79-80

[Voiceoftheunheard]

IF at 3:25, black played 26... Bf8, he would be fine.

[Voiceoftheunheard]

AT 3:29 you could have played 27.Qxg7+ Rxg7, Rf8 Rg8, Rxg8#!!!

I didn't know players of this caliber could miss a simple knight fork.

[AnomalousAppendages]

@mikeusat even GMs like Nakamura and Carlsen miss simple stuff in 5/3min blitz games

[ubbecykelkedja]

@mikeusat They can if they have to play lightning chess and talk at the same time, it's very difficult.

At 2:22, could you have played Rd7, forcing Qb8, then played Rf7, then Black plays Nxe3 then Qxe3, Bf6 guards, Qh6 wins? Or if he ignores the Knight's danger, you get the Knight & have winning material and attack?

Or if Bf8, rather then f6, Qg5.

If Nxa2, Bf5 forces mate.

Sacs the Queen so casually that he doesn't even mentioned it!! GM force!

[DamnControl2]

Great game!

[ekingh]

wow

....pulled a Queen sac, no hesitation

[LOGIS10]

In de first game, instead of Qh5 just play Rxd7 and i think you can win or i must have missed something.

Thanks taljechin!

[brrrdman85]

Ahh!! That's too bad. You are the better player. You should have won.

[solsek7]

Try to make the video bigger, or at least the chess board.
