The two queen sacrifices were very different. The latter one was a simple, if spectacular, tactic. It forced an exchange of the queens to simplify the position when he was ahead by two pieces. The first was all class. He sacked his queen (for a rook and knight plus a passed pawn on c6) on move 40 with the tournament on the line! He appears to have no fear, whatever the game situation may be. I'm sure he does feel fear but he never seems to allow that to influence his decisions during his games.
Really appreaciate your deep knowledge of chess. You take a lot of effort to do these and with the consistency you have and your charisma this is not only a master class on chess, but on youtube content creation itself
wow, when you first see the queen shoved up into the king's face like that you go WHAT? He's supposed to try WINNING, not LOSING! then you realize that he's setting up a fork to remove the other queen. Wild stuff.
I still think even with any echo or whatever that might be there, it wouldn't hurt to turn on the volume. I always have to turn the volume up for your videos and then back down again. :) Keep making these good videos though. There is something about them!
Which just shows that a Rook and minor piece, or even in this case, two minor pieces, can be worth more than a Queen in the right proportion, especially if the Queen is the only major piece the opponent has. Amazing tactical game!
game was epic but I wouldn't call immortal man both made huge mistakes near last 30 moves which swung evalv bar around notribek just got lucky and capitalized
"Immortal game", "the greatest queen sacrifice of 2024", "The Most Extraordinary Queen Sacrifice Of 2024", ... Clickbait sensationalism much? All pure BS.
@@renx81 you must be new to chess lmao. Gothamchess does it, Hikaru does it, Chessbase India does it, EVERYONE DOES IT. "Just pathetic" jeez mate where did the scary man touch you?
Nodirbeck is a beast. Excited to see what he’s gonna be able to do in the years to come.
Yeah he just went to number 4 in the world as well
@@epicchess2021 Oh wow! I had no idea he was ranked that high. I thought he was like 8 or 9
I've been saying this for years. Guy has potential to be the next Magnus.

Thanks very much really appreciate the kind words thanks again
very well delivered, thanks for all you do!
I've been missing you, James! I've been around a few other channels recently, but it's a pleasure to come back and see some EPIC CHESS
Thanks a lot appreciate it glad you enjoyed and great to see back
7:42 Knight e1 Ne1? is a real dad joke... I love it! Like c4, it's explosive!
Haha very good 😆😁
@@epicchess2021 I pride myself on my originality 😜
5:35 Abdussatorov plays that move while leading the tournament by only half a point ahead of Parham. Fortune does favour the brave!
He ain't magnus to play safe😅

Haha yep!
Haha yep!
Wowzers! - what a game.
Damn, 3 minutes in and it already feels so theoretically heavy, what a scary position. Nice videos mate, keep em coming.

oh sorry thanks for the feedback and thanks a lot for watching glad you're enjoying
This game is a perfect example of positions I just get absolutely lost in
Your channel has an unique style.
By the way, do you play on Lichess?
Thanks and yeah epicchess-21
Thanks and yeah epicchess-21
@@epicchess2021 oh nice, thanks for the reply too
He is deep. NORDIBEK.
It was actually a double queen sacrifice! :)
Fantastic game for its multiple angles for surviving.
Such a complex game, long time no seen lol

Quite a great game, showing the possibilities of modern fighting chess.
My fav chess yapper 😮
What's amazing is 2 x 30 second un-skippable ads before even getting to the video.
What a joke, I can’t even control that sorry! I went premium myself got bored of ads
@epicchess2021 not blaming you, it's on everything at moment.
07:19 that's a funny looking rook Mr Epic. Amazing game. It's crazy to see the maneuvering of the GMs.
Whoops lol
Wow! What a game!
What a lovely game
Double queen sac
Good ne1 of laghter from me on that one! Good game cover.
Incredible
Great play by Nodir!
Loved the recap but honestly don't think this meets the bar for an Immortal Game, though that's just me
Yeah fair enough igu
2 Queen sacrifices in a single game, then wins the tournament
true haha
A break from Mag-amura? Thanks be to little baby Hay-Seuss…
😂
Great video
I like this guy
amazing!
Parham should stop playing his favorite move, Kh7. Never again
wow epic chess thanks
Nice game bruv
amazing game
super cool
Creative! Top GMs make so many mistakes these days. More fun than playing loadsa draws tho.
Nice
Very Magnus-esque play from white. Great stuff
I mentioned you about Nodirbek before, but you didn’t like him…
Defo like him! Just these players are less popular on my channel I find
@@epicchess2021 I took of my avatar, let’s be it!

Yeah fair point
i would go gay for you but you look nothing like Arnold Schwarzenegger
1. Nf3 "Get to the Hoppa!"
Lol ermm
good game, but I don't think a game with this many bad moves can be described as an immortal
:D

"Immortal game", "the greatest queen sacrifice of 2024", "The Most Extraordinary Queen Sacrifice Of 2024", ... Clickbait sensationalism much? All pure BS.
Damn dude. Is it really that big of a deal?
@@mikecroke6078 What do you mean? It's not a big deal at all as far as I'm concerned, actually. Just pathetic.
@@renx81 you just seem awfully slighted over a UA-cam video is all I’m saying. No disrespect intended
@@renx81 you must be new to chess lmao. Gothamchess does it, Hikaru does it, Chessbase India does it, EVERYONE DOES IT. "Just pathetic" jeez mate where did the scary man touch you?
Yeah sensationalism agreed but I think true is the thing lol, I like to always make true statements!
An absolute amazing game...A proof there are levels in this game.
Great commentary...so many beautiful punch lines.
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed!
