The Queen vs. rook endgame is really tricky to win. I doubt if even the world champion could do it in 23 seconds as in this game without any special preparation. See the Chess Tempo site for endgame practice.

@ComtedeMonteC Not so tricky if your opponent has also 23 seconds, if you're holding on with 23 seconds you're far more vulnerable to blunders than your opponent, saludos desde Uruguay

why not keep your rook a little longer and beat him by time advantage?

13 Ng5...would give u big attack forthe piece sac

omg, the bunny thing is so funny, I think I'll choke from laughing :))

[failboy98]

haha unlukey man at the end you should have move your king insted off taking the queen as he had 3 secands left

[pawnscrusher]

its a very interesting game. black should have been cramped with his pawns but his semi-open d-file was enough to get excellent control. I noticed how after the white hack-attack both h and g pawns hadnt moved and the "pawn mobilty" was that poor backward pawn on d5. would like to see some revenge game ^^

In Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There was a bunny.

[wtfjonw]

Revenge of the bunnies!

[mcpartridgeboy]

dam that israeli guy was good for his rating !

[mraxeguy]

I was rooting for your opponent because, hey . . . we bunnies have to stick together!

Bunny power :). You should definitely do some new videos on endgame puzzles and common endgame themes . . . maybe if his technique were better he would have been able to win that QvR ending in time trouble, although I know it's a tricky one for both sides.
