normal people's thought process with less than 3 seconds on the clock: holy crap, I just need to move (heart racing) Jerry's thought process with less than 3 seconds: hmm, what should I do? maybe move here? ehh, I'll just do this. bam checkmate! lol
The difference between you and others chess youtubers, is that you always try to give some logical sense to your moves, even from the opening instead of applying just theorie because it's theorie and memorize lines and stuff, thanks Jerry!
Your videos and commentary are great, I am not very good at chess but I really enjoy watching you play it and explain things, huge help. Keep up the good work
ChessNetwork With ~ 1 minute to go, you invariably start complaining about how much time you’ve burnt: Thereafter, just as invariably, you start moving in endgame configurations so fast it makes everyone’s head spin - including your opponent’s, and you pickup the point. I’ve seen you do this even in games with no increment.😮
Its really nice to hear a nm talk through the moves. It teaches me a lot more than just watching a game without hearing the thought process of the player.
Well I guess this will satisfy the haters that say he doesn't play against players at his level. It was a silly argument to begin with.. Good win Jerry! It was fortunate that you still had a lot of fire power on the board when you were low on time.
@39:39 black had a draw with other king moves. had he played Kh6 would have been equal. The biggest blunder was Kg6 opening up to checks, not a good idea in queen and rook endings where king exposure is taken advantage of by the opposing queen, and Jerry found Qc4 which is the only move which exploits black's king position (in time trouble!)
Wow. I've been watching this channel since 2008, I'm almost certain I saw this video when it was originally posted. Needless to say, I've played a lot of chess since then and seeing it again is very eye opening. Thank you Jerry
Nice video as always! I'm always happy to see you've posted a new one. When I see that the video is a 1-minute tournament, I just pick 2 beers from the fridge and some snacks and enjoy the 30 minutes of fun. The single games are very instructive as well. Just one question: Why it must be a nail biter every time? And how do you manage to stay cool about it? Amazing. Keep it going and be aware that I just put some beers in the fridge, so it may be a time for some cube fanatics :)
I'd try 25.Nd4 with a threat of 26.Nc6, as the black bishop on e6 either gets exchanged (eventually winning a pawn on b5) or black gets into a nasty fork.. Only one of the "let me think for 30 secs" variants, of course. EDIT: ..and as soon as I wrote it, Jerry said it :-)
I like this format the most because you have enaugh time to explain your thoughts compared to a 5 minute game. I learned a lot and hope you make more longer videos - very instructive :-)
I really like your content it's easy to follow your thought process with every move you make. I really learned a lot now I am hooked please make more standard games like this. thanks Jerry.
i have given the video a thumbs up based solely on the standard time control game, seeing the video was 40+ minutes and enjoying your content and teaching methods. if after i watch the video i have something more meaningful to add i will.
I love the videos with the longer time control! More like this please:) Also, on move 33 you *almost* had Re5! available, but it doesnt work because your c4 rook is pinned ;) that would've been an exciting way to win a pawn (I think?)
Hey Jerry - thanks for another awesome video! This was a really great game, and I think that this time control is the best for commentary; it was extremely instructive.
Amazing video jerry, would love to see more games of this time controm. For me it's so amzing to see how simple your thinking and explanations might be. But they really are effective.
Dude your compusre under time pressure is almost inhuman. Have been a fan of your channel for several years =- I remember when you had like 20K subs. You deserve all the success you're having!
I really enjoyed this video and I hope you decide to make more in this type of format. It's very instructive and the commentary is great. How do you (or anyone else reading this) learn the opening? The opening is the major aspect of my chess game that is underdeveloped and would like to improve so any hints would be appreciated. Once again great video!
That was such a great game. So intense at the end too. I can't get enough of your videos. I watch them in bed nearly every night until I can't keep my eyes open. Great way to fall asleep actually. Is that weird? :P Thanks for another quality video.
Great game, Jerry. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see more games like this, longer time controls gives you more time to share your thought process with us. :)
Great to see a longer time control commentary. I think 15|10 would have been potentially better though in the end you did fine off the 2s increment anyway!
Jerry, I know it’s been awhile since you made this vid, but here in the future, late spring 2019, CLOWNS 🤡 are very fashionable (en tous sense). Ergo, a suggestion to enhance your vids would be to stop every once in awhile in your aftergame analyses, look at an idle piece on the losing side, and do that thing where you say, almost bitterly, “Look at this clown. What’s he doin?” This is especially effective when you have not personally participated in the game. Other suggestions include regular reprises of your “My Rooks are pigs!” and “My Knight’s a beast!”
As usual great video Jerry! and a nice game too....... but just a question.... u did not even consider Nxg5 knight sac after black played g5 and played Nd4 ( i forgot the move number )... it looked to me ( OTB thoughts) that after Nxg5 fxg5 Qxg5+ white's attack is quite strong.... Can u please explain if possible why u deterred from such a path? is it because of the rook on a7 covering the 7th rank ( possibly appear on g7 guarding his king and X-raying/pinning g2 against the king ) ?
On move 14, if you were to move your bishop back to a6 just to get the bishop back to the back rank before moving to d3, would this be better, causing a reverse in his development prior to your *possibly losing a tempo? What are your thoughts?
Good question... it's a question I thought about as well, but only after recording and doing the editing for upload. Generally I agree that it'd be nice to have the bishop be underdeveloped prior to some retreat to d3. I'm not sure about some of the specifics though...it may end up transposing to the same position after a5 Qe2 e6 de Bc8xe/Bd7xe. Not much difference in that case. :) Maybe Bg5 would be better though instead of Qe2. Again, good question.
More of these games would be really nice! I liked this video, good job in winning despite time trouble. I would like to see you take on a really tough guy (2400+), you would probably win anyway. But just to see the difference, you are good at prediction your opponents (except Qc8). Would that change if you played a tougher opponent?
At 25:33, the Nxg5 looks really appealing, since after the pawn takes the knight, the queen comes into the picture and then there can be checks to pick up the bishop (on e6).
on move 41, instead of rook to C7, you should have played queen to F7 check, -king moves to h6, since is the only move available, the rook takes away the F file, and then queen takes on H7, mate
I believe you're referring to the time 8:40 or so in the video where Jerry is talking about his hesitation with moving his bishop back. He comments that pawn to c4 comes "with tempo." That's because the pawn will advance with an attack on the bishop, and the bishop is likely to retreat again to c2 or b1. The moves Bc2 and Bb1 are very defensive moves for white, so they're largely wasted. The new position would have black with a further advanced pawn, white with a poorly placed bishop that's also crowding its own pieces, and to top things off, it's black's move again! That's why the move c4 comes "with tempo," because it's as if black gained an extra move. Gaining a tempo means gaining a move. It's a subtle concept that's taken me a long time to understand, and I'm only now beginning to appreciate it. Hope this helps.
The black queen checks the white king so he has to block with the rook (blocking with pawns leads to losing material). So there was unfortunately no mate @31:26.
you get 2 seconds after you make your move. example: 10min. +2 seconds means that you have ten minutes to finish your game, and for every move you make you get 2 seconds on your clock extra time
normal people's thought process with less than 3 seconds on the clock: holy crap, I just need to move (heart racing)
Jerry's thought process with less than 3 seconds: hmm, what should I do? maybe move here? ehh, I'll just do this. bam checkmate! lol
It's true - I panic with even 10 second increment lol
Standard #chess with 15|2 time controls
Thank you in advance for watching...
Enjoy! :)
gokhula where are you chess yarrrrrrr
The difference between you and others chess youtubers, is that you always try to give some logical sense to your moves, even from the opening instead of applying just theorie because it's theorie and memorize lines and stuff, thanks Jerry!
*theory

Your videos and commentary are great, I am not very good at chess but I really enjoy watching you play it and explain things, huge help. Keep up the good work
Thanks JH. Glad it's helpful :)

Its like you get stronger when your time is down.
That's just an illusion. :)
Haha :)

ohhh that was the turning point!! nice
Please make another with this timing, it was an absorbing drama
Wow. I've been watching this channel since 2008, I'm almost certain I saw this video when it was originally posted. Needless to say, I've played a lot of chess since then and seeing it again is very eye opening. Thank you Jerry
Jerry. I love watching you play so much, but when you are so short on time for so long I get so anxious. Thanks for the great videos!
Jerry gets more powerful as time slowly nears 0... Be careful - That tricky Jerry!
Nice video as always! I'm always happy to see you've posted a new one.

Great game! Invested time paid off!
Always a joy watching and listening to your videos/commentary.
NN No Name...you were mentioned by kings crusher once
Nice to see some longer games as well. Great commentary as usual. Thanks!
Thanks NH101 :)
Love the longer timecontrols Jerry!
Please, bring more!
I like this format the most because you have enaugh time to explain your thoughts compared to a 5 minute game. I learned a lot and hope you make more longer videos - very instructive :-)
I have played a long time. I have gotten a bit better watching and listening to your videos. Thank You!

i have given the video a thumbs up based solely on the standard time control game, seeing the video was 40+ minutes and enjoying your content and teaching methods. if after i watch the video i have something more meaningful to add i will.
wow...gg. great ending but do not do that to us!
i was looking like pappa smurf for a handful of minutes...holding my breath.
I've never seen someone so calm with 2.7 seconds left. damn, I didn't think a checkmate was in store with so little time. amazing!
You always spend so much valuable time explaining your thoughts to the viewer.
Jerry, you da real MVP!
I love the videos with the longer time control! More like this please:)
Also, on move 33 you *almost* had Re5! available, but it doesnt work because your c4 rook is pinned ;) that would've been an exciting way to win a pawn (I think?)

Amazing video jerry, would love to see more games of this time controm. For me it's so amzing to see how simple your thinking and explanations might be. But they really are effective.
I appreciate these longer time controls for their instruction value, good variety. and don't let knigscrusher corner the market on fischer vids
Dude your compusre under time pressure is almost inhuman. Have been a fan of your channel for several years =- I remember when you had like 20K subs. You deserve all the success you're having!
Thank you for your years of support TT. Since 20k is going back some time...😎
JESUS jerry, that tension on the clock every single game you're driving me nuts
watching your time was so stressful at the end
I really enjoyed this video and I hope you decide to make more in this type of format. It's very instructive and the commentary is great. How do you (or anyone else reading this) learn the opening? The opening is the major aspect of my chess game that is underdeveloped and would like to improve so any hints would be appreciated. Once again great video!
Insane time management :)
That was such a great game. So intense at the end too. I can't get enough of your videos. I watch them in bed nearly every night until I can't keep my eyes open. Great way to fall asleep actually. Is that weird? :P Thanks for another quality video.
Great game, Jerry. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see more games like this, longer time controls gives you more time to share your thought process with us. :)
What a game! Nice tactics with very little time, Jerry.
Wow such an impressive game, congrats! Very entertaining!
Great to see a longer time control commentary. I think 15|10 would have been potentially better though in the end you did fine off the 2s increment anyway!
That was a long one and a fun one. Nice change up. Like it if you like it!

Thank you for posting these videos! It is really interesting for me, as a new chess player, to hear you reason!
sweet game, the time pressure made it all the more entertaining to watch.
On move 14, if you were to move your bishop back to a6 just to get the bishop back to the back rank before moving to d3, would this be better, causing a reverse in his development prior to your *possibly losing a tempo? What are your thoughts?

Not much difference in that case. :) Maybe Bg5 would be better though instead of Qe2. Again, good question.
Jerry, now that the distraction is over(nice commentary on the WCC) would u do a standard game analysis on the Ruy Lopez ?
More of these games would be really nice! I liked this video, good job in winning despite time trouble.
I would like to see you take on a really tough guy (2400+), you would probably win anyway. But just to see the difference, you are good at prediction your opponents (except Qc8). Would that change if you played a tougher opponent?
Dude you're crazy. You played like half the game with 10 seconds on the clock and still won
probably the only youtuber that i will video-like.
It's appreciated. Thank you!
I'm not great at chess, but it's really fun to watch someone as good as you play
Wow. So impressive! Thanks much for the videos!
Wow, you are f'ing insane. 2 seconds left on the clock in the middle game and you can still win. Wow... speechless
Nice game and instructive as usual
8 moves to checkmate within 7 seconds ,amazing
At 25:33, the Nxg5 looks really appealing, since after the pawn takes the knight, the queen comes into the picture and then there can be checks to pick up the bishop (on e6).
Can anyone see if this works?
Exactly! That would have lead to a straight win :) +3 immediately!
Excellent comments & explanations, thanks & congrats
Finally! yes finally! a standard game!
I think you were lost due to the time limit. But in the end you played very good moves in a matter of seconds.
Good game!
Jerry got the clutch gene in the closing seconds
I really like your videos I'm learning a lot
Brutal game, with only seconds to spare
I'm not great at chess, but I like watching your videos and listening to your voice.
:)
jerry,can you try analyzing it with stockfish like in your kibitzing videos??
Thanks for the suggestion. :)
ChessNetwork yeah!! you missed Ng5 at 25:44!! Stockfish picked that up.
I wonder if you can continue playing games and analyzing.
Amazing ending!
We are waiting more 15/2 game! :)
He played the entire endgame with 3 seconds left Jerry u madman!
on move 41, instead of rook to C7, you should have played queen to F7 check, -king moves to h6, since is the only move available, the rook takes away the F file, and then queen takes on H7, mate
+Emil Cozianu he should have if it was legal
+Andrea Ghizzi good point! totally missed that
It's amazing ! you didn't have time but you did checkmate :D
What a Game!
I fancied black to try a crazy bishop sacrifice, but he preferred to die slowly. Pity.
Great game!
thank you!
at 31:23 why is Qf7 not a mate in 2 moves? or did he simply overlook it?
FourTwentyMagic he was put in check by Qb8
Woww. Amazing how much Jerry can think with only 3 seconds on the clock!
At 38:09, if black Nf3, why did you not consider Nc6 forking two rooks?
+Arun Nair the rook would take his queen, as the knight was effectively pinned there
What does it mean to advance, "with tempo?"
I believe you're referring to the time 8:40 or so in the video where Jerry is talking about his hesitation with moving his bishop back. He comments that pawn to c4 comes "with tempo." That's because the pawn will advance with an attack on the bishop, and the bishop is likely to retreat again to c2 or b1. The moves Bc2 and Bb1 are very defensive moves for white, so they're largely wasted. The new position would have black with a further advanced pawn, white with a poorly placed bishop that's also crowding its own pieces, and to top things off, it's black's move again! That's why the move c4 comes "with tempo," because it's as if black gained an extra move.
Gaining a tempo means gaining a move. It's a subtle concept that's taken me a long time to understand, and I'm only now beginning to appreciate it. Hope this helps.
Helps out a lot. Thank you!
Yea, you had mate at 31:26. You could say you gave him a chance and you still won! XD
The black queen checks the white king so he has to block with the rook (blocking with pawns leads to losing material). So there was unfortunately no mate @31:26.
Amazing!
Who else had a hunch that Jerry would turn a 15 minute + 2 second game into a 5 second + 2 second game? :)
Great game anyway!
what a win
nice one !
Jerry is actually playing against a higher rated opponent? Am I taking crazy pills?
hey i saw your beating computer impossible on bullet when are you gonna post that
I wasn't recording...I rarely record when playing.
ChessNetwork oh mannnnn......
ChessNetwork I wish you recorded everything. I watch all your videos.
nice game
37 --- Rd2 was a huge blunder by black, should've played Rd1 instead.
I know nothing about chess. I just watch this to get to sleep :P
more of those
Jerry: Is your last name...
Nakamura??
OMG
What does 'a 2 second increment' mean?
you get 2 seconds after you make your move. example: 10min. +2 seconds means that you have ten minutes to finish your game, and for every move you make you get 2 seconds on your clock extra time
It means he gets an extra 2 seconds added onto his clock after he moves
I'm surprised a fork of the rooks wasnt considered, but anyway good game!
Specifically nc6 instead of knight takes bishop
Oh nevermind, Rook takes Queen lol
gg Jerry.
I hate holding my breath.
First one was done
at move 27 you had Kc6 fork I believe
the queen, nevermind ...
gg no re, rekt 0/10 no conga live news tf2 iruminaty confirmed thug life
He missed Ng5 25:44
Integral Cube at least that's what stockfish told me ....
u should take 26.nxg5...
26. Nxg5
19.e5 was better
