    Oh come on, the most dramatic swindle is missing from the video.
    It is from 2017 SCC Magnus Carlsen vs Wesley So. Magnus had a completely lost position before Wesley allowed a rook sac resulting in a perpetual. The expressions of both the players after that moment were priceless. Magnus was laughing with his headphones on his ears and Wesley was shaking his head in disgust.

      @ronuchit 3 роки тому +2

      I just analyzed this on lichess. Kf6 leads to a draw because the bishop can just take the pawn on f7, nullifying all of White's threats. The winning line for White, after the bishop checks the king from d5, is to take the bishop (Kxd5), and then note that Black's pawn push to b2 is not dangerous because now White can move the king *back to e6* (totally brilliant, I missed this at first), forcing mate no matter which pawn Black promotes.

    Embarrassingly bad commentary: 14:55 "Because now after pawn takes, rook check, Bishop-f8 and Bishop-to-h6, very nice way to finish off a win here. Now of course this is a winning endgame and he did go on to win this game actually" - No, that's a drawn endgame and he did not "go on to win" from that point as Wesley So had already resigned previously.
    Rather than acknowledge this mistake (e.g. "Sorry, I misspoke" or "Oops, I made the same false assumption that Wesley So must have made causing him to resign immediately after Qxd5" he just kept confidently saying words without any acknowledgement of making a mistake whatsoever he eventually go around to correctly pointing out how to hold the draw a full minute later.
