2011 FIDE World Chess Cup Knockout: Teimour Radjabov vs. Dmitry Jakovenko

[MrRyanholder]

Great commentary, I like how you explained so many moves and why some other moves that might have been played would have been bad or just something different.

[Nasos228]

Great job dear Jerry but one advice I made, you ignored it.. I asked you to make the pieces moves more visible and obvious because half of the time and attention we spend in back and forward to see what was the move that was played.. the pieces move in light speed.. You could enlight the piece that is going to move and then catch it and move it slowly to let us see the move.. Anyway thanks again, you are our teacher with your nice and elegant voice..

[PeterPunkBoy]

Jerry , at 12:43 white can get out of the fork with knight d5 cause the black queen is unprotected.

[ChessNetwork]

@PeterPunkBoy After Qf7 it's a similar scenario...knight...queen still hit.

[jafarkazmi100]

@14.03 hypothetical scenario black pushes a7- c6 wins knight... also back knight to d4 @14. 18 allows white to play knight to d5 leaving black queen stuck f7/ f8

[jafarkazmi100]

@14.03 hypothetical scenario black pushes a7- c6 wins knight...

[erol973]

12:30 black wants to control e5 against Q's move to there. also save to his Q against white; Nd5.

[yomammaspoodle]

great commentary and games, love your channel!

[ChessNetwork]

@yomammaspoodle Thanks.

[lastwarrior2004]

9:15 you said Bh3, maybe Jakovenko was worried about the c3 knight going to d2 then f2 to trap the black bishop.

[lastwarrior2004]

@lastwarrior2004 d1-f2*

[lastwarrior2004]

16:48 the other reason not to play pawn takes pawn is bishop takes knight and queen forks the king and rook

[alexandre312993]

at 13:00 after ND4 white can play ND5 winning a pawn?

[MrPeto1212]

Hey Jerry I saw a nice move at 12:22.

Bxc6,Vxc6 Nd5

[mraxeguy]

In the variation you discuss at 13:46, while the white knight is on b5, doesn't ...a6 from black trap the knight?

[xdragon2k]

That was some thorough commentary. Ever think of doing commentary on openings? These thoroughness could be good in explaining things to look for in openings, why the main line was the considered the "main line", etc.

[ChessNetwork]

@xdragon2k Thank you. :)

[freakkit]

Freaking awesome!

[nidusmasnidusmas]

[dumpnchase]

Thanks for the video. Well done

[oldhamer111]

Keep up the good work Jerry

[TheHuginMunin]

As always I got something out of it. Thanks

[shorty4tube]

great

[sausage4mash]

I would not of allowed the pass pawn from black but that's why I suck at chess :) very clear presentation ,thank you .

[BasicPawn]

As always, first rate coverage. Your explainations are crystal clear. Thanks for all your excellent videos, they are really appreciated.

[l3loodHunter]

Hey Jerry, what about 20:03 c2. Cant find a real way to prevent black from queening.

[asdfasdf8525]

@l3loodHunter if c2, then:

... Rh7+

Kg8 Rfg7+

Kf8 Rc7 holds

c1=Q is met with Rh8#

[fffffvegita8]

@l3loodHunter lol you are right but then it will be check mate for black..

[l3loodHunter]

@fffffvegita8 i mean 20:03

- | c2

Rh7+ | Kg8

Rfg7+| Kf8

and then?

Rc7?| c1Queening < The Queen is saving the King from Checkmate, if Rxc8+, Queen just recaptures or if he takes Queen then white simply lost a rock

Cant see a solution

[sexySBH]

Wow, so many Jerry videos lately... I don't know what to say I'm so happy!

[JoshWiniberg]

Very nice strategic insight. Thanks very much for the analysis - great job!

[lukeanatr]

@bagsic3100 Lol, I'm going to rember that, now.

[luuminaire]

Amazing analysis Jerry, thanks so much for the video. Two in one day - how lucky are we!!!!

[ex0duzz]

By mentioning blacks f5 push and focusing on the rook protecting f6, you forgot to mention that playing f5 also stops any e4/Ne4's(and white's last move was Nc3 so yeah, it seems logical that he wants to stop that too, or even the main priority/motive behind f5, while the rook protecting f6 is an 'auxiliary' benefit, it takes advantage of the half open file if e4 is indeed played).

But yeah. You do an excellent job with your analysis, and you are up to date with the tournaments etc. Thanks man.

[rikkou1509]

Interesting till the end '-'

[Greatbloke]

From the perspective of this very casual player you do an excellent job explaining the thinking and tactics. Thank you.

[gymproace1]

Even at the very last minutes,traps were still everywhere,gosh totally mental torturing!! LOL

[AlanWattParrot]

smooth analysis

[wclipson]

wonderful video. Great commentary on controlling squares.

Thanks!

[ThirstyJuicebox2]

great job

[xmikedavis]

really

nice

analysis

[Carlisle412]

Thank you!!!!

[OnlineChessLessons]

Hey Jerry, I was already writing some coverage of todays game before you released this (great job btw). This will be in my article tomm:

"Radjabov played a double-fianchetto opening as white against Jakovenko, and I was disappointed with the lack of aggression in Jakovenko's response. Radjabov achieved a pressure after a tense middlegame struggle and went on to win thanks to a few nice tactical shots."

[kupo150]

At 20:17, what was the point of trading rooks like that? Couldnt white have simply attacked the rook watching over the promotion pawn?

[ZestyBuilder]

That was an awesome analysis! I would love to hear more from ChessNetwork!

[TheEnglishEducator]

cheers for the code. your a star....

[skydragon207]

At 5:10, why the bishop don't capture the knight at c6. After the queen takes, the white knight on b5 can fork the queen and the rook.

[baronvictor]

@skydragon207 The queen doesn't take, it's the rook that takes the bishop and he's left with a massive light square weakness around his king! :)

[skydragon207]

@baronvictor Thanks for the answer.

[DextrosJ]

GG



[AndyMH182]
