    • @joedorben3504
      @joedorben3504 4 роки тому +2

      Yea even from afar I was confused about this line and how it could be good for black, which is why I doubted that Rxf2 was the move he played until Simon showed it. The line he gave was blatantly obvious and very trivial, and I was surprised he didnt show the Kxh2 line, which was clearly more critical. If Rf8 then white has Rd1 up two pieces (even Nxf8 allowing b1=Q might still be good for white with R, B, N vs Q), and the only nice looking way to stop mate appears to be h6 or h5, but Im just convinced either of these are winning for black.

    Why isn't Nd7+ better in the 4th one? If BxN, Qh8 is mate immediately. If RxN, Qh8 Ke7, QxR, threatening Qd8 mate, or if QxN, RxQ, and then either BxR Qh8 mate, RxR Qh8 as above and white will be up a queen, or Ke8 and white has a number of options, such as RxR, Rxb7, Rxf7, etc.

      Agreed. Any of the following conditions could be possible with:
      Nd7+ Rxd7 Rxd7 Bxd7 Qh8#
      Nd7+ Bxd7 Qh8#
      Nd7+ Qxd7 Rxd7 Rxd7 Qh8#
      Or I am making a mistake somewhere?

    7:31 why not king takes bishop, threatening mate on the next move with the rook. Now simply promoting will result in mate. So Maxime has to play h6 and then bishop takes rook and white still has 2 pieces and a rook for the queen which will atleast be a draw if not a win.

    There are some beautiful moves which are not a sac nor a way to checkmate.
