she did play in open section of 2023 bulgarian chess championship open section and won silver medal ahead of six GMs and lost only to the champion. I guess here she is not in open section probably because she didn't qualify for it so she is taking whatever opportunities she gets, but she does play in open tournaments and performs pretty good.@@PreservationEnthusiast
@@PreservationEnthusiast I think because she is still 2400 (or smt like that?) And only yet an international master. And to add a little personal attack: a rating you probably will never reach asking stupid questions like this.
@@PreservationEnthusiast Hmm I guess you're right. I retract my statement and apologies. But to give some explanation to my comment: on first sight your comment did appear a bit snapy about Salimova. And following the games live on youtube I saw so many people being so disrespectfull to woman in chess that I interpreted it in a wrong way.
This is by far the best chess channel out there - great choice of games every time, clear and instructive analysis, passion and respect for the game of kings, and today even a rare but somehow entertaining glitch.
As a Bulgarian I am very happy to see Nurgyul Salimova's strong performance in the FIDE's Women's World Cup (2023) and also her getting the spot light she deserves on her games! Also a great pleasure to see a Bulgarian IM's games being presented on this great chess channel! Good luck to her on the finals and thank you for playing incredible chess!
@@dusseldo6257yes and as Hikaru's name suggests he is Japanese. And as Caruana's name suggests he is Italian. And as So's name suggests he is philippino. Should I keep going? :D
@@lyubomirkaradzhov6134even though there are some similarities between those players and Nurgül, from historical point of view the situation is different. However it is also worth to mention that she is succesful neither because of she is Turkish nor Bulgarian, she is succesful because of her hard work and the high quality education that she got…
@@lyubomirkaradzhov6134 Hikaru was raised in the US because of his parents moved there. It is the case for Caruana as well. Nurgül born in a country in which a lot of turkish people used to live because it was a turkish territory. Most of them migrated back to Turkey in the 80s, but some of them chose to stay or missed the chance to migrate. So this was the more or less the difference from the historical point of view that I meant
Thank you so much for this tribute to Salimova. I have watched all of her games in the tournament and really fell in love with her style of play. I hope she does well in the finals, too, but she has already won: what a woman!
I watched both games on radom , My day was going along, I was bored and checked twitch for some chess streams. I watched her doing those games low on time and the way she thought about those brilliant ideas! I fell in love with Nurgyul the moment I saw those two games!
Yay! I actually saw the two "crushing moves" at 15:00 (basically barbarian crashing down the door), but that's only because Agadmator says there is something to look for in the position. 😆
@@hansgie673here we go again, it’s only a matter of time before they start call her a cheater if she wins the finals. They’ll also club with that post match interview where she said something like, “I didn’t calculate but played it out of intuition”.
Wow! The first game was insane. Salimova played absolutely amazing! Sacrificing the rook with the intention to move the king with a tempo to protect the bishop and use it in a mating attack. That's just insanely creative! She is really good!
I am Bulgarian and i am very proud and please watching these games! I will ignore the Turkish discussion below. Selimova is a Bulgaria citizen and playing for Bulgaria. And nowadays discussing the Turkish rule is just silly anyway. In our country where the media is overtook by Influencers, reality show stars and no-talent podcasters it is so great that a young talent like her finally receives media attention.
I almost NEVER find the "Pause the Video" solutions, but this time I was determined. I'm only a 1500 - 1600 player, so when I spotted the rook capture and then the bishop move, I wasn't sure. A few checks of everything else and I realized I had it. This was SO satisfying.
Really remarkable, a whole rook sacrifice allowing check too: the harmonic black pieces coordination allowed this elegant, sharp combination! In the second game the soul of Paul Morphy was inspiring her!😊
That tower sacrifice is amazing. It's not difficult to calculate the combination, but it's extremely difficult to even consider it, it needs a lot of discipline and creativity. Side note she is just 20 years old. Moving above 2600 requires a change of style towards the more boring, it happened to Kasparov, to Magnus to everybody, except some magical figure from some city. But it's well within her reach.
Beautiful games by Salimova! I hope we get to see a lot more of her in the future! BTW, the FIDE commentator compared Salimova to Judit Polgar. We might have a new woman #1 in the making here! Thanks for the recaps!
Yes! Magnificent chess! Fantastic use of the two bishops in both these won games. Can she be invited for the challengers group of the Tata Steel wijk aan zee in january 24?

From 8:58 observe Agads expressions... He's so passionate for his work... His psychology speaks for itself ❤ That's why I'm his regular viewer

Absolutely loved how Nurgyul's bishops are so deadly in these games! Thank you Agad for showing this!

After watching this video, I did too.
Salimova's games are flawless. She totally crushed a seasoned grandmaster. What a superb rising talent she is proving to be.
Yay! I actually saw the two "crushing moves" at 15:00 (basically barbarian crashing down the door), but that's only because Agadmator says there is something to look for in the position. 😆
Moreover the position was on the thumnail
Amazing! Really brilliant play from Salimova. We don't see many games this exciting at the highest level
That is a master class in the queens gambit. I'm taking notes about that bishop and rook work!
Happy Friday Agadmites!!!
😊❤

I see what you done there

TGIF🌞😅
Salimova check-mating left and right like there's no tomorrow!
To be honest she is kinda sus for me, because in her post interviews wich i watched several. she couldnt name a single line that she calculated.
@@hansgie673here we go again, it’s only a matter of time before they start call her a cheater if she wins the finals. They’ll also club with that post match interview where she said something like, “I didn’t calculate but played it out of intuition”.

❤ for agad to keep me updated on the tournaments and chess world.
for anyone wondering why she didnt calculate far enough out to see that the rook was poisoned, they were both down to a few seconds on the clock
same here.. Not even a GM, IM, FM or anything but crushing hard on her
Wow! The first game was insane. Salimova played absolutely amazing! Sacrificing the rook with the intention to move the king with a tempo to protect the bishop and use it in a mating attack. That's just insanely creative! She is really good!
Now this is some wildly creative chess. Bravo Nurgyul.
“We combine two useless ideas and make a usefull one” 😂
Some of the best maneuvering of bishops we have seen in mens or womens games.
Excellent commentary to excellent play. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Would love to see the final game with Salimova. Thanks :)
I was looking for this game finally
You are the best.

Next move... 4:14 Now knight to b3.

Lmao
Wow. Salimova was just crushing with these immense games. Tal would be proud.
Audacious play. A worthy finalist.
I am so glad about the title of the video. Its so amazing how chess is absolutely in the moment and cannot always rely on history.
This was Salimova’s night at the opera!
Second game was brutal wow!

Appreciate well clothed people playing awesome chess.
Both of them played good stuff.❤
8:42 Alright, there we have ... Nope!". Lol, I just found that funny.
Very impressive tactics
what a talent
It’s interesting to see there is no Magnus in thumbnail while the other guy has thumbnails ready for next one year with Magnus in them😁
