Dortmund Chess Meeting 2011: Kramnik vs. Nakamura - KID Bayonet Attack

[TheSFSkinny]

6:00 who doesn't knight just capture on h3? if g2xh3 bxf3

[tadvanacanakapalli]

At 8:00, the possible move series you give where white wins a pawn actually leaves the white knight on f3 unprotected.

[Zphrisotl]

What happens if White would play 43. Qxd6+ Qxd6 44. Nxd6?

Wouldn't it end up drawn?

[sleepruim]

Nice one!

[ChessNetwork]

@sleepruim Thx

[ob1knobdc]

great video, I enjoyed the pace and in depth review

[dravidwake]

I'm sorry you speak too quickly and mumble - I can't follow what you are saying...the accent doesn't help..

[ChessNetwork]

@dravidwake ok

[Scauthra]

@ChessNetwork I don't think you talked to fast or did you ever mumble. Plus I am not sure what accent the above poster was talking about.

[vansinniger]

@dravidwake I'm not a native speaker and by far not using English that often but in my opinion Jerry's utterances are absolutely good to understand if you -in general- know the things he's speaking of.

[MyBloodblade]

I wish high level players wouldn't resign being a complete novice I need to know how to end a game but they alway resign

[concept015]

@MyBloodblade stop all enemy threats, make your own, when ure up material u can easily make all of your opponents pieces get overloaded. and with simple tactics finish the game nicely.

[theunbeatenable]

just from what I know of the kid, ist c5 played much later? I think it should be noted that c5 was a little premature.

[sonyerectson]

Just amazing. rellay love how you flesh out the variations.

[ChessNetwork]

@sonyerectson Thanks. :)

[BinkyHuckleback]

Excellent video - thank you!!

[dumpnchase]

Thanks for the video. I always learn something when I watch them.

[lfroggyl]

At 6:12 why not have a SHOCKING MOVE of black knight take on h3. Two things happen: either white king moves or retakes with pawn, the only defender of f3 which is pinned to the queen, either way allowing black to win a pawn protecting the white king

[KevinR242]

Awesome Jerry! as always.

Naka is sick in the endgame.

[majorsromo]

Is this commentator the highest ranked? In any case his coverage is deeper and better articulated than any other's.

[JoshWiniberg]

@majorsromo Sometimes the highest rated commentators seem to articulate badly because they're speaking on a completely different level. Personally I find IM Andrew Martin's vids to be the best between accessibility and detailed analysis: his youtube username is YMChessMaster

Nice vid and game here though, cheers to chessnetwork for that.

[TheDivineWinds]

17:14

I'm curious as to why a variation involving Qxd6 wasn't shown. It would end up being Rook vs. Rook + Bishop no?

[Threepwoot]

at 6:42 why didn't the black Bischop on h5 take the knight on f3? what do i miss here?

instead the black roock retreats...

and at 13:08 the white bishop can move in fact... if it moves to f7 it would interrupt the connection between white queen and roock in thir mate-constellation

[Wuzzysbrand06]

@Threepwoot At 6:42 if black takes the night white recaptures with the rook.

At 13:08 if bishop to f7 white has a big advantage:

1. ... Bf7?

2. Qh4+ Kg8

3. Ng5 (mate threat) Bg6

4. Rxg7+! Kxg7

5. Ne6+ (and black loses the queen)

[Threepwoot]

at 6:42 why didn't the black Bischop on h5 take the knight on f3? what do i miss here?

instead the black roock retreats...

[sertificat0r]

#comments I mean

[sertificat0r]

Jerri , please challenge Kingscrusher with live compete

[scottie55901]

Watching the game, really like the forcing yet subtle Rc2+! It is one of those moves with a deep point:

A) Pushes the king back to the first rank gaining a tempo for black if he can fend off the attack and go into an endgame; and B) tempting Nd2, which runs into Rf5, Qxg6 (Qh4+ Rh5, Qg4 Qxe7, Qxg6 and Qg5 winning the rook for bishop with a strong attack) Qf8 exploiting whites pieces getting overworked, how to cover the Rook, Knight will fall and f3 pawn looks dangerously weak.

[hraesvelgML]

@3:23- Can't black win a bishop for a knight? (...c5/ dxc6 Nxc6) and the bishop has nowhere to escape.

[cacpotify]

@hraesvelgML No because after c5, dxc6 and Nxc6, White wins the pawn on d6.

[umbra1818]

incredible match by naka

[SmellyJelly4MyBelly]

6:45 -- I don't understand why black's bishop doesn't take white's knight on f3. If queen takes bishop, rook takes queen. If pawn takes rook, bishop takes queen. It's a bit aggressive, but it's what I would have done.

[lukeanatr]

@SmellyJelly4MyBelly I think you forgot about whites other rook on the same file.

[Elkhwind]

@SmellyJelly4MyBelly Black's bishop doesn't take white's knight on f3 because of rock on a3.

[xundarz]

@SmellyJelly4MyBelly yeah, me too

[scampbl]

Is it weird to say that I like it when you just start saying, "takes takes takes takes"

[Mathview]

GM Nakamura stayed cool under fire. Was VK in time trouble at the critical position?

[nicocola1]

32nd! YES I'm so proud of myself now!!!

[trulysociopathic]

16:38 - What's wrong with Nc6+? Wouldn't that win a rook?

[ankan064]

@trulysociopathic , Nc6 can be met with Rxc6,leaving black a couple of passers.

[MrinfinityLT]

@trulysociopathic Rxc6 dc followed by Qxe1 with check and black is a rook and a minor peace up.

[bluedasher23]

at 16:23 why not Rxf3? It looks like everything is defended of blacks and that there would be no devastating checks to black.

It appears like black would be up a pawn more in material.???

[surfsoccer11]

naka naka naka

[thechessgeek]

At 6:14, why can't black play NxP+? then capture the N and win a pawn?

[thechessgeek]

@thechessgeek nevermind, I didn't see the rook.

[freethought23]

@thechessgeek i noticed them same thing and was going to post until i saw urs.

[freethought23]

@thechessgeek i was thinking the same thing until i saw the rook on a3

[KungenBaz]

Awesome video as allways! :)

[WfireH]

nice



[LiiChinHo]

@gaasl I dont get why a lot of people are missing this, the knight is guarded by the rook too. The knight is safe.

[gaasl]

@LiiChinHo Yes,you are Right.

I miss this.

[hairywonder3]

at 9:47 why not Bxf3, forking the king and queen?

[LiiChinHo]

@hairywonder3 Because the rook will take the bishop.

[Fidothedog11212]

I thoroughly enjoy every video you put up! Thanks Jerry!

[jsplayer18]

9:50  after Qd2 isnt Bf3 winning?

[LiiChinHo]

@jsplayer18 Why would it be winning? It would just be exchanging equal pieces; the king and rook are guarding the knight.

[bluedasher23]

@jsplayer18 no it isn't. The knight on f3 is defended enough... By the king and the sneaky rook on a3 :)

[DarkInception1]

Another video?? It feels like Christmas! lol

[Carlisle412]

or 6th

[Carlisle412]
