This is a game between two very dynamic grandmasters, Alexei Shirov and Judit Polgar. It was from a theme tournament held in Buenos Aires in 1994 where the players were obliged to play the Sicilian Defense!

You should play the game thru at the beginning and then do you talk thru so we don't have to spend 20+minutes to see the game if we don't have the time.

@bonsai108 I don't like that approach. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 d6 6.g4 a6 7.Be3

Nge7 8.Nb3 b5 9.f4 Bb7 10.Qf3 g5 11.fxg5 Ne5 12.Qg2 b4 13.Ne2

h5 14.gxh5 Nf5 15.Bf2 Qxg5 16.Na5 Ne3 17.Qg3 Qxg3 18.Nxg3

Nxc2+ 19.Kd1 Nxa1 20.Nxb7 b3 21.axb3 Nxb3 22.Kc2 Nc5 23.Nxc5

dxc5 24.Be1 Nf3 25.Bc3 Nd4+ 26.Kd3 Bd6 27.Bg2 Be5 28.Kc4 Ke7

29.Ra1 Nc6 0-1

I like how you always ask 'why did he/she play this?'

[ChessNetwork]

@MilitaryMan006 It's a good question to ask often. :)

no doubt like cliffburton333 said, best chess commentary on youtube. Very enjoyable, thanks for making these!

lol @ ur dog @ 19:55 :P

Any chance you'll do another Paul Morphy game ?!

[ChessNetwork]

@DistantQuasar I know...the "woofs" sneak in my videos from time to time. :)

I wouldn't be surprised if another Morphy game is done eventually. There are other Morphy games which are exciting no doubt.

[SuperPeristilo]
