  • @darrencorgan With all due respect, I went through what was interesting for me in the game - which included the tactical behind-the-scenes variations. If you don't like it, please by all means find another channel, or just play through the game yourself from its PGN.

  • thanks KC i was hoping you'd comment that one :)

see all

  • I actually had a chance to use a move just like Giri did at 05:22, but i decided to play safer...

  • Hello kingcrusher, first i have to say thank you for the all videos you poste on youtube, i like to see them when i am too tired to play and secondly, you sayed that we could ask you for some games analysis and i would see your analyse of the game between nakamura and carlsen during this tournament.

    Merci d'avance.

  • hey kingcrusher can you annotate wesley so's victory against spoelman?....as of this time So is still undefeated in Group B

  • @cuevasdecamuy Yeah I thought so too 

  • I always amazed how a GM takes advantage of such a harmless move like Qd2...it looks so safe then again it can lead to so much trouble

  • @1Abcplayer I think it was Fischer in the article he wrote I think its called "A bust to the king's gambit"(something like that), after black takes the gambit 1. Nf3 d6 is supposed to be the high class waiting move

  • yes,you should comment more games,from thet tate turmament,people like your wideo!

  • I have a random question... Who coined the term "high class waiting move" ? was it fischer? or was it someone else?

  • @ledgeleaper

    what is your problem. are you married with king!!

  • Great stuff Tryfon! One of the best videos you have posted (and there is a lot of competition). Extremely engaging. Hurrah!
