Shakh is not just an ordinary chess master, he has always tried to play well and beautifully. He always tried something different and always played the offensive game, even in matches where he could easily draw. We love and are proud of Shakh. 🇦🇿
3 points for a win instead of 2 makes gameplay more exciting. Riskier games, less incentive to draw and rapid means they're not going for computer approved perfect play.
Shak don’t get enough credit. I like that he plays to win. I think he has one of the lowest draw ratios in top tier chess behind Magnus, Nepo and Caruana if I’m not mistaken. His games are really fun to watch. And he’s a really nice chap. Can’t believe he sacrificed over 50% piece value and won! Absolutely incredible. Congrats on this game Shak. Absolute beast. 👊🏻
I don't have the numbers but I would expect Dubov's draw ratio to be pretty low as well. I haven't seen a single Dubov game in which he didn't either win spectacularly or lose spectacularly
Shak used to be a member of the 2800 club and the player Magnus feared the most in classical alongside Fabi (back in 2016-2019), maybe he can reach his prime again, he is still excellent
@@dudenotsoperfect9366 and that is exactly the beauty of chess. It is something simple, that you can find anywhere like any other boardgame, but that can also create masterpiece like that.
That game was nuts. There was a point there where he was down a rook and a piece, yet the position was completely winning for him, which was just incredible.
I don't think I've ever seen a game where someone sacrificed one of each pieces (a pawn, a knight, a bishop, a rook and a queen) and went on to win spectacularly. What a game!
Grigori Serper vs Ioannis Nikolaidis, "the immortal sacrifice game". Both rooks, both bishops, both knights, the queen, all sacrificed for the summary price of a knight and rook and a lot of tempi. The rest was tactical follow ups and lots of passed pawns.
Mamedyarov has been on another planet lately. His play has been so artistic yet brutal, and the ways he conjurs his attacks are just magnificent and genius. For anyone else it's reckless, but he is like a rock hammer, violently breaking through even the seemingly strongest defenses. Absolute art. How can you not be romantic about chess?

Surely no game is more deserving of the Mr Barnes logo? A great injustice. I hope Agadmator does the gentlemanly thing and acknowledge the oversight in the next video..
Shak is not an easy opponent. He’s literally beat everyone at least once. These skills have not done dull with age they’ve just become more refined. Thanks for the video.😊
If Shakh was a little more consistent, I think he would be a much stronger opponent. But if he changes his style, then we wouldn't be getting interesting games with crazy positions.
Will agadmator never cover the 12-move #9LX puzzle in Anish Giri Vs Eric Hansen from the Offerspill finals? That whole match was pretty good actually. #suggestion
Title doesn't justify the game, man! He played one of the best games in 2022 and perhaps even more, and you didn't even think much about the title. Very disrespectful.
"But that only matters if you are planning to castle"
What a badass line
True.
Ah yes, the Shakhrifice.
I vote this to be the title to the video! “Shakrifice” absolutely brilliant! Who’s with me?

Its rare to see such beautiful attacking chess these days. Shakh went Beast mode. Truly an amazing game.

petition to change the title to "shakhriyar mamedyarov's immortal"

It just should be finesttt , whatever is the format , doesn't matter

This isn't chess. It's art.
Are chess and art really mutually exclusive?
It’s both
Its just a board game.

How much the beads cost.

Absolutely right bro
I said the same, as i watched

@@kellamyoshikage286 White sacrificed both rooks, queen, both knights, both bishops, and *3 pawns*
I’ve sacrificed all my pieces before. Still working on the win part of it though!
"Sac one of each piece (and a pawn)(not a king)" sounds like a Chess Simp challenge
Shakh activates the Behelit.
Great to see Berserk reference here
Many peices getting Shakhrificed
The shark smelled blood on the board
When Shak is on, he's really tough to beat.
The Shakh Attakch!!!
Shakh games are an instant must-watch for me, and no doubt many other people 😁
For sure, the guy plays such bold chess.
Ivanchuk also :)

mamedyarov is such a nice guy
70 years later, this will be a very good chess memorial game.
"This looks like something you try against your uncle"
How does he know?! 😂
Never seen anything like this in my life! Moreover, doing this at this level is just mental. The video deserves a more creative title I believe 😊
One of the best games I've seen this year
I read the title as Shrek Sacrifices Everything
Lmao 😂
That'll do donkey that'll do
Shrek! Shrek! I'm a donkey Shrek!
Finally, a genuinely funny comment instead of anal beads and stockfish.
One of the spectacular chess game I have seen in a while. Shakh sacks.!
So happy to see shakh getting back in Form
Agadmator's "sorry about that" is constant 🤣
"sorry about that"
*proceeds to fix absolutely nothing*
Shakh is playing art.
Masterpiece.. love Shakhs creativity 😊❤🎉
Holy crap. This is probably at least game of the year. Most creative player every, The Big Shak!
What, no "Game of the Century" ?!
This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen
And it was at this point the ghost of Tal applauded.
Shakh attack. What a beautiful mind that can dream up play like this. Just wow.
A brilliant sacrificing game!
A brutal masterpiece by the great shark
That's brutal...none could've survived that Shakh onslaught
In Brazil we call Mamedyarov: "The Lumberjack".
And everytime you think you know the beauty of chess, another incredible game comes along ...

This is plain brilliance......
Agad: ‘Sorry about that..’
Sorry about what? 😈
Agad: ‘captures captures’
I also sacrifice everything. Just that I don't win.
😄👍
Shak defeated Magnus and no video on it? :o Anywau great content as always
Damn it man. He even point out the move i used against my uncle 😂😂
You just got to love Shakh.
Shakhmat
He put Anish on the ropes and starting punching him till the bell rang.
I think Mamedyarov deserves a Barnes head for this attacking game
Shakh It All!! - Shaquille O’neal
Mashallah Shah qardashimiz!
That Knight sacrifice is absolutely hilarious to me, what a game
the sac purpose is only to distract the queen and that paid off
what a move
Niemann: "I played a beautiful game."
Mamedyarov: "Hold my vodka."
A lot of very fun and aggressive lines this tourney.
That was raw kamikaze piece sacrificing to a win, amazing love it! Living on the edge
Surely no game is more deserving of the Mr Barnes logo? A great injustice. I hope Agadmator does the gentlemanly thing and acknowledge the oversight in the next video..
For the First time, he didn't thank the donators.
It's the king finally that matters the most.What a gem of a game reminding Morphy and Tal!
Shak sacrificed rook bishop knight and queen all in a single game.
And pawn
So basically everything but his king
My day can not start without "sorry about that"
Shak is not an easy opponent. He’s literally beat everyone at least once. These skills have not done dull with age they’ve just become more refined. Thanks for the video.😊
Thank you Agadmator for continuing to instruct us.
He won, even without playing the best move in chess!
For a moment I was surprised Giri did not draw the game...
Giri didn’t want to spoil a masterpiece. Even if he was on the losing end of it. Sometimes all you can do is tip your hat.
Tal -> Ivanchuk -> Shakhriyar : always fascinated with their games.
Anytime Anish gets embarrassed is a GREAT video
Amazing game! Full barbarian, pawn pushing mode engaged!

I am proud of my student shakh.
Great game! Immortal why not! Well done!
Shakt sacrificed one of each: pawn, bishop, knight, rook and queen. If the king could be sacrificed, no doubt he would have found a way to do so.
No one touches the Shakhtus
„that looks like something you would try against your uncle“ hahahaha
As long as you do not sacrifice the victory in the process.
“Many pieces are being sacrificed. Everything is hanging. So let’s dive into it “
"Looks like something you would try against your uncle" 😂
