    • @Tyrantofthewind
      @Tyrantofthewind 7 місяців тому +11

      It is the best move because it does a lot of things at the same time. First thing you have to do is realize that the rook would only be guarding the pawn on c4 if Hikaru had not moved it. Second thing is the position and pieces of Kramnik. He has a light squared bishop and Hikaru's only notable weakness is the single pawn on c4. By moving the rook to a dark square anchored by two dark squared pawns, the rook is essentially guarding both the front and side entrances to the left side of the board. Then you take into account Kramnik's single light side pawn on a4. It is blocking Kramnik's entry and cannot move forward because of Hikaru's pawns. It is essentially playing defense for Hikaru by blocking light space entry from that side. Note also that because of this while Hikaru's light squared bishop is looking at Kramnik's king (and defending), Kramnik's bishop is completely blocked by his own pawns staring at the wrong side of the board. TLDR: He moved the rook to a better defensive position that could not be easily assailed and of which he could later use to play offense and defense by sliding over.

      Kramnick was winning pretty much up until he moved the pawns in front of his king to let Hikarus poor bishop back in the game.

      ​@vercot7000 No, are you? I'd rather be playing white up until about the 5-minute mark. Hikaru defends very well.

    9:02 illegal move, but I don't know, who made the illegal move. Maybe Kramnik, because Hikaru didn't end the move and Kramnik captured a pawn? In blitz isn't it an immediatly loss, if Hikaru insists?

    • @KaptnJolly
      @KaptnJolly 7 місяців тому

      oooooh right.. idk the rules, but if i would guess, i think Hikaru maybe did the illegal move because he's supposed to promote the pawn (fully). he pressed the clock before his move ended. although kramnik played his move, before hikarus move ended.. .. i guess they have gentlemans agreement because they like each other so much

    Kramnik, you only make your move AFTER the opponent completes HIS move. That is: after he pressed the clock. What you do is CHEATING!

    kramnik was threatening to back rank him or trap his bishop 5:15 he should have played bf3 to stop h5 and its the same idea as h3. trapped the bishop or threatening re8+ backranking hikaru then hikaru had to make space for his king or play rd8 to stop back rank then g4 puts the bishop in an awkward position after f5 the bishop is locked out and in one line kramnik can rxbd7 rxd7 and bc6 forking the rooks and winning a piece. And kramnik would push f5 after g5 and bring the king to the center of the board to assist the passed pawn on d5. The white rooks will line up on the 7th rank and the f pawn and a pawn will be threatened. At 5:15 kramnik has a clear and easy plan that he squandered he never should have lost that position g4 was a major mistake and after he had to start over with a brand new idea. Which is why the eval bar goes to 0. He lost a beautiful position
