At 13:03 after robson moves Qe2-f3. I think either Rc8-d8 or Rf8-d8 attacking the white rook on the d file. The goal being to remove the defender of the d2 square so that black can mmove Ke4-d2 forking the king and queen.
just a question i was pondering... might be a silly one at that, but isnt just automatically castling sometimes a bad move? i mean, it seems the king is more volnurable in most positions after castilng. i might be wrong tho.. what u think??
from 07.44 I think black knight should take white pawn in g4. then white obv moves h1 to g1. black pawn f7 to f5. he loses position but increasing pieces adv.
this bishop on h7 is not weird for me, some weaker players often try to gain that bishop losing time and destroying his king side, and them often castle ther
jrobi your chess videos are by far the most informative, detailed, and well thought out i have seen on youtube. i am just beginning to play chess and i love all your videos. thanks for the effort you put into them :)
I've been steadily working my way through your videos, and I just had to let you know that your commentaries are incredibly helpful; my chess has improved immensely from watching you.
At 6:46, why didn't black play Bishop to d6? It seems like it has a lot more options from that square, even if black's knight moved out of the way after Bishop to e7.
Great video Jrobi! I find it interesting that the GM decided to play the Caro-Kan defence; it can be so drawish at times. I thought he would have chose a sharper opening (sicilian perhaps).
yea ray your the best congrats on being the 1st youngest american master and passing bobby fisher i'm a chess player kinda a normal player anyway i love your playing skills good luck on your next tourney
His not the first American master actually his very far behind went it come to NM but Well it come to IM and GM his both the youngest elect in the USA and overall the second youngest ever Gm in the USA ( elect mean only for USA ) and he only got beat by 8 days... by an Italian American Caruana, Fabiano
typical GM underestimation. "Oh, Im playing this kid? Nice, then I don't have to think. I'll just play this trick and he'll loose his que... oh he didn't?!... Well... Then he will fall for this tri... No? This one then...? No... Damn. I lost the game."
a GM facing someone with an IM title infront of his name will most certainly not underestimate his opponent, even if hes a kid. We all know how fisher wiped out an entire field of GMs at the US championships. GMs know age is no indicator of a player's strength.
Next fischer I doubt it. More likely the next Waitzkin. That game wasn't really that impressive. The grandmaster obviously underestimated him which happens often when playing children.
@AnthonyTheSage that was more then underestimation, he must have smoked dope... thinking putting his queen in the corner was a good move... damn he really must have been high
Can someone explain what a grandmaster norm is to me? I looked it up but I just see like he needs 3 norms to become a grandmaster, but how do you get a norm? and what exactly is it? Thanks.
yea man jrobi is such a great commentator im not undermining his chess skills but really its fun to listen to his intros on each video as well as the game explanations.
Whys he billed as american when he was born in guam, people aint happy about their heratige sad really, thanks for the video though im useless at chess yet i still enjoy watching your videos.
excellent video. just another small note: at about 8:40-9:40 ish when you talk about white's attacking options; white is also threatening rxd5. if exd5 then qxe7
Hey Rob I was trying to play against the chess computer on your web site, have you ever beaten it? I can't even beat it with king's gambit accepted of which no one has beaten me yet under 1500!
at 15:52 when you are talking about black getting materialistic taking the knight there is something you missed. After the check by the white queen and the pawn takes if queen takes pawn on b2 than it is checkmate. Just thought I would throw that out there.
I didn't miss it - I just didn't go farther into that line because white was in a dominant position. But you're correct, if white missed the threat of mate on b2 by playing a sub par move, it would be game over. Thanks for checking out the vid!
I'm not sure if you've ever done this sort of thing, but I have an idea for a future video. Film an online game and comment it all the way through with exactly what is going through your head at the time, upload it and then re-analyze it.
I find the Classical variation very dynamic, and certainly as an 'open game' it leaves for alot of in-depth thinking - that i'm not against though, but i find with the black pieces, in the Caro-Kann, the steinitz variation is a much more overall stable strutcure for black (this is from personal experience playing every game in the steinitz, against 1650-1800 rated players.)
That being said, i am aware of the: White wins 33.5%, Black wins 20.4%,Draws 46.0%, It's just what works best for some ppl
Openings are like clothes, it's what fits best for each individual - so I totally agree. Most GM's from what I can find recommend studying your favorite openings in detail, and giving the rest some brief study time to avoid common traps, etc. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Maby if black would have offerd his knight instead of his queen round 16-17 minutes he would have falen for the bait... The queen was just to big to give away, it always raises suspison
Lol, actually I don't think so, because I am not a total newbee. But I was just saying when somebody gives his queen away it rases much more suspissoin than if it would be for example a knigt or a pawn. But I dont really think he would have vallen for it, but just maby that could have been the case...
There's always a possibility - there has been some major blunders at the grandmaster level, of course nothing near the amateur level, but it does happen on occassion. But that's the beauty of chess when real people square off against each other. Thanks for checking out the vid!
at 14:41 it is not checkmate becuase the queen could have taken the pawn and the white queen could have taken the black queen and the black king would take the white queen!
Very nice video, jrobi and I personally like to hear the stats on the openings as I'm fairly unfamiliar with them. Although you could probably cover some of the small tactics (1-3 moves combos) in various positions like the one Henrique676 mentioned.
I.e. at 10:34. Black moved Qf6. Had he not moved his queen or defended it or the knight on d5 here, white could have played Rxd5 and the rook can't be taken with exd5 because then the queen on e7 is falling.
Knowing this was probably why White played Rxd4 earlier as opposed to Nxd4 because Rxd4 forces Black to react to this threat.
I mean nothing major here and I'm sure there were many bigger tactical possibilities, but I think laying some of them out can really help.
That would definitely be a nice tactical shot if black left the queen on E7 - thanks for sharing! As for Henrique's comment, I covered that line a bit later in the vid so he probably saw it after the fact. Thanks for checking out the vid and commenting!
At 10 minutes and something just one little detail: if black would have taken the g4 pawn with the knight white would move the rook to g1 and when the knight moved white could take the pawn on h6, because the g pawn is pinned, and the black king would be exposed. Nice video
I think Robson is a strong player and he is very young but Fischer did not have the same amount of recources at his disposal. Nowadays we have easy access to chess data that makes learning chess a whole lot easier than in the 50s or 60s. Just saying...
Totally agree Mrius - Fischer was also the type of person that prepared for tournaments pretty much himself without large grandmaster teams to help out (i.e. Kasparov, etc). I think the scholastic field today is much stronger than in Fischer's time, but what will really matter will be how Robson performs in the future. He definitely has an amazing start, though, no doubt about that! Thanks for checking out the vid!
B6 unfortunately drops a pawn and black doesn't get very much counterplay for it. For example: (22... N5b6 23. Ne3 Rc5 24. Rxd7 Nxd7 25. Qxd7) - thanks for checking out the vid!
sorry my bad, when white moves c4 force HAS to move the knight if he does not want to lose it (there is no rook in C yet), your question was why he didnt move it to b4 instead of f6, the answer is the same reason jrobic pointed out...
He left chess to compete in martial arts. I think he has a book called the art of learning where he talks about how chess and martial arts helped him in many ways - haven't read it yet though.
Thanks Shayeex - I agree, he has amazing talent already! It's going to be interesting (and fun) to see how far he takes things. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Most definitely Casillas - and I think he is going to have quite the career as a GM which shouldn't take too long for him to achieve given his performance at the Arctic Chess Challenge. Thanks for checking out the vid!
It's tough to say - it depends so much on how he will perform on an international level moving forward. Nakamura, for example, beat Fischer's record rise to GM by 3 months, and Caruana has some amazing achievements also. Fischer's performance on the international stage (and national for that matter) is going to be extremely tough to beat. Time will tell how all of these chess superstars do, but it will definitely be fun watching how things shape up. Thanks for checking out the vid C!
Very enjoyable video as always, jrobi. I read the articles on chessbase about Ray's recent success and saw the analysis of this game. I love your use of the annotation features in aquarium. It brings the game to life. It will be very interesting to see Ray's development. over the next decade Did you see the video of his simul at university of Florida? He is a very mature young man for his age. Thanks again for bringing this great game to life for your viewers. Excellent stuff!
Thanks isayoldchap1! I haven't seen that simul video - I will definitely check it out. If you can send me that link to the article I would appreciate it - I can only find the game he played against GM Berg there and would like to see how this game was reported.
Thanks for checking out the vid and for the feedback!
by the way, about the pressure i was talking about, i can imagine Robinson playing against Mikhail Tal, he used to have an amazing attaking style, i think he was like the oposite of kasparov.
It would be great to be able to see matchups like that (and others). Some ideal matches I would love would be Fischer in his prime vs Kasparov and Karpov. Come to think of it, it would be awesome to see players like Capablanca, Morphy, Alekhine, Morphy, Reti, and so many other greats in action. I think they would be very happy with how large the game has grown since their day in terms of global competition and overall talent in the up-and-coming generations. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Carlsen is another amazing story - he became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 and is consistently near (and sometimes at) the top of the world FIDE rating list. Definitely lots of very young chess superstars from around the globe. Thanks for checking out the vid King!
Quite aways off Miko - but definitely passionate about all aspects of the game nonetheless. I have some more personal games coming out soon to continue with my personal rating pursuits. Thanks for checking out the vid!
impresive!, you can feel the tension of the struggle since the beggining, the way Robinson was always pushing and the greats counters of the grandmaster; but i have a question: was this game played with clocks?, and if so, how much time did they have?, because i usually do a regular game until the ending, but is because of the clock, my mind kinda blocks and i´m wondering if i would have take that black queen on 15:39 depending on the time left... maybe the grandmaster was thinking on that too
Robson definitely played very sharp - it seemed like everything the GM tried to do, Robson not only countered but continued to create pressure, basically stopping the GM from dictating the pace of the game. The game was played under standard tournament time controls so time wasn't an issue in this game. I watched it live when it took place, and I remember both players having sufficent time to work with.
At 13:03 after robson moves Qe2-f3. I think either Rc8-d8 or Rf8-d8 attacking the white rook on the d file. The goal being to remove the defender of the d2 square so that black can mmove Ke4-d2 forking the king and queen.

12:25 why don't move to B6 instead of F6??
GodForYa 2 years ago
B6 unfortunately drops a pawn and black doesn't get very much counterplay for it. For example: (22... N5b6 23. Ne3 Rc5 24. Rxd7 Nxd7 25. Qxd7) - thanks for checking out the vid!

did you see the pawn at c4?
he is forced to move that knight to f6...
Nikronius 2 years ago
pawn doesn't matter cuz the black rook can take the pawn if he pushes it forwards.
GodForYa 2 years ago
sorry my bad, when white moves c4 force HAS to move the knight if he does not want to lose it (there is no rook in C yet), your question was why he didnt move it to b4 instead of f6, the answer is the same reason jrobic pointed out...
btw great vid jrobic, keep up the good job!

Why not Qa5 at 8:26?
lamase24 2 years ago
Qa5 would be a slightly better option for black in that position, but the resulting line would still give the advantage to white.
That being said, it would be a bit better than what was played by the GM in the game.
(17... Qa5 18. Kb1 e5 19. h6 g6 20. h7+ Kh8 21. Bh6 Qa6 22. Qxa6 bxa6 23. Bxf8 Rxf8)
Thanks for posting the idea!

whatever happened to josh waitkins?

He left chess to compete in martial arts. I think he has a book called the art of learning where he talks about how chess and martial arts helped him in many ways - haven't read it yet though.

Nice commentary, Jrobi, Robson is just incredible. It's been a long time coming. Who knows? This MAY be the new Fischer.

so he is way better then you right?
Casillas304 2 years ago
Most definitely Casillas - and I think he is going to have quite the career as a GM which shouldn't take too long for him to achieve given his performance at the Arctic Chess Challenge. Thanks for checking out the vid!
jrobichess 2 years ago
It'a great to see how far he has come at such a young age. What do you think, is he the next Fisher?
Clearerer 2 years ago
It's tough to say - it depends so much on how he will perform on an international level moving forward. Nakamura, for example, beat Fischer's record rise to GM by 3 months, and Caruana has some amazing achievements also. Fischer's performance on the international stage (and national for that matter) is going to be extremely tough to beat. Time will tell how all of these chess superstars do, but it will definitely be fun watching how things shape up. Thanks for checking out the vid C!

Very enjoyable video as always, jrobi. I read the articles on chessbase about Ray's recent success and saw the analysis of this game. I love your use of the annotation features in aquarium. It brings the game to life. It will be very interesting to see Ray's development. over the next decade Did you see the video of his simul at university of Florida? He is a very mature young man for his age. Thanks again for bringing this great game to life for your viewers. Excellent stuff!
isayoldchap1 2 years ago
Thanks isayoldchap1! I haven't seen that simul video - I will definitely check it out. If you can send me that link to the article I would appreciate it - I can only find the game he played against GM Berg there and would like to see how this game was reported.
Thanks for checking out the vid and for the feedback!

*Robson, sorry
l30r1c 2 years ago
by the way, about the pressure i was talking about, i can imagine Robinson playing against Mikhail Tal, he used to have an amazing attaking style, i think he was like the oposite of kasparov.
l30r1c 2 years ago
It would be great to be able to see matchups like that (and others). Some ideal matches I would love would be Fischer in his prime vs Kasparov and Karpov. Come to think of it, it would be awesome to see players like Capablanca, Morphy, Alekhine, Morphy, Reti, and so many other greats in action. I think they would be very happy with how large the game has grown since their day in terms of global competition and overall talent in the up-and-coming generations. Thanks for checking out the vid!

Robsons got to be a future champion in the making! does anyone know if Carlson was this high rated when he was 14?
Plus I thought youtube had an 11 min time limit, how did you go past that?

Carlsen is another amazing story - he became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 and is consistently near (and sometimes at) the top of the world FIDE rating list. Definitely lots of very young chess superstars from around the globe. Thanks for checking out the vid King!
jrobichess 2 years ago
jrobichess, how far are you off from becoming a grandmaster yourself?
8mikomi8 2 years ago
Quite aways off Miko - but definitely passionate about all aspects of the game nonetheless. I have some more personal games coming out soon to continue with my personal rating pursuits. Thanks for checking out the vid!
jrobichess 2 years ago
He's not even close. He's like 1500 on online play, which is the rough equivalent of around 1200 FIDE. Grandmaster=2600 FIDE or around there.

impresive!, you can feel the tension of the struggle since the beggining, the way Robinson was always pushing and the greats counters of the grandmaster; but i have a question: was this game played with clocks?, and if so, how much time did they have?, because i usually do a regular game until the ending, but is because of the clock, my mind kinda blocks and i´m wondering if i would have take that black queen on 15:39 depending on the time left... maybe the grandmaster was thinking on that too
l30r1c 2 years ago
Robson definitely played very sharp - it seemed like everything the GM tried to do, Robson not only countered but continued to create pressure, basically stopping the GM from dictating the pace of the game. The game was played under standard tournament time controls so time wasn't an issue in this game. I watched it live when it took place, and I remember both players having sufficent time to work with.
Thanks for the comment and checking out the vid!
