@8:26 why not g8=Q mate?

[sertificat0r]

35. g8=Q# why not ?

[dreamtheater39]

you dont even need to think anymore i guess....it all seems instinctive, doesnt it? :)

[Attlanttizz]

35. g8=Q# ? Or am I missing something?

[luitek]

that's what I was thinking too!

[Attlanttizz]

Volume = good.

29. h6, black king can't take because of the scewer on King and Rook (as others have pointed out ^^)

[Pauliustp]

Move 35 not Qh5, but just queen a pawn and mate!

[analihilator]

blunderbuss !

[tuoljg]

move 29 why not h6? if king takes then Be3 and you win the rook?

[HomelessTwit]

volume sounds better.

[poprockssuck87]

I still don't understand why you couldn't play h6 on move 29. If Kxh6 then Qf4 or Qe3 forks the rook and if gxh6 leads to mate. So you could have pushed it to weaken his king safety even further.

[kingscrusher]

It is 5 minute chess - blunders happen. What is there to understand or not to understand ?!

[poprockssuck87]

Don't take it so personally Kingscrusher. Perhaps I did not word my comment in the most appropriate manner, but I stated what I did because most of the time I'm wrong in these situations when watching your videos. Because of that fact, I figured that there was a reason and that I had overlooked something. Of course it's blitz, and mistakes happen, but you're Kingscrusher.

29 h6 Rh6 30 Be3 + -

[mavaddat]

Whoa, lots of serious blunders in this game. :-) You were tired! Crushing an FM is not easy work!!

Great win here and great job round 4!! Here we go round 6.

[Th0usandMaster]

lol black 34 just take the pawn! wtf

[TsuKing]

well reading at the comments i wasn't the first to wonder... why not queen the pawn at move 35? :)

[xXxWilliExXx]

35.g8=Q# looked interesting :P

[elbay2]

LOL! His mouse movements seemed erratic (notice at the beginning of the game)... Go to bed KC, and good luck for the other rounds!

[mavaddat]

@xXxWilliExXx

Too passive.

[pigeonkid4]

Well done for the FM win kingscrusher! The official website of the Classic is doing some nice coverage. GL with the rest of your games!

[freydawg56]

I would have checkmated via Pawn Promotion for the CM,

[Technique09]

Excellent win Kingscrusher, however i noticed on move 29 you were debating to play h6, and you should have played it, because if Kxh6, you have Be3!, winning the rook. Just thought id point it out for next time!

I think it would have lead to a faster win, because after h6, i dont think your opponent has anything.

[padperson]

29. h6 Kh6 would have been on the cards, but it would have been a royal flush after Qf4+ winning the rook on d2.

[jewbinson]

@padperson Yup and Qe3+

[teddster214]

Sound is better =)

[SKYNET369]

QUEEN THE PAWN, sorry couldn't help myself good game though.

[KratosPKM]

if im not mistaken u could have mate if u play 35.g8 (queen), anyway,another amazing chess video of one of your games.

[numbcore]

exactly my thoughts, I was thinking huh why didnt he do that :p

[ZGalhardo]

My jaw dropped when I saw that.

[Freshman000000]

Sound is good, but I have to turn the Youtube volume up max for it to be good.
