13:00 1. Qf1 sacrifice 2.after it captures recapture with Rf1+ 3.king moves to h2, Bb5+ 4.only move is to block by g3, Nf3+ is fork on the king and queen Master , i think this is the winning sequence that u missed😊 I love all your videos that i have watched❤❤❤
This is gonna be so helpful for my tournament. Thanks Igor for your dedication!I have been a long time fan btw. This is a topic that nobody covers, whereas you are the only person who genuinely cares about the all round development of a player
Strongest move: Queen-f1 check, Rook-f1 takes the queen, Rook-f1 takes rook w check, king-h2, bishop-e5 check, pawn-g3, knight-f3 check; forks the king and queen.
Igor indeed you have mastery at chess but you also have mastered the art of winning people's heart. I call you a reason of my important as you guided me time to time. Thank you
All I see for the puzzle is 1...Qf1+2. Rxf1 Rxf1+ 3.Kh2 Be5+ 4.g3 Nf3+ 5.Kg2 Nxd2(better than 5...Rg1+6.Kf2 Bxg3+ 7.Ke3) 6.Nxe4(best)Bd4 7.Nxd2 Rf2+ followed by 8...Rxd2

That last sequence in stockfish gives a weird result. King doesnt take the bishop, but it still says its mate in 8 for white. But going through the moves it then says its only a position of +7.5 or so after horsey jumps to discover check the white king. It looks like there is no forced mate.
A note on Nielsen as coach first for Anand then for Carlsen. Nielsen coached Carlsen i the Candidate Tournament 2013 but not in the World Championship so not to betray Anand with the knowledge he had about him
the Ba6 move at the end looks completely normal even though it's a blunder and I think it would be easier for white to find the Nc6 tactic than it would be for black. If I was black and calculated Ba6 I wouldn't even think about calculating any further cuz the position seems normal so I would probably make the same mistake
Everybody said QF1 sac but I thought Be5 and then Qf1. EDIT: after a few minutes it turns out I was right and you did just that and got check-mate but WHY did you say you missed the stronger move? Your Be5 was mate in 3. The Qf1 sac would be just a major reduction and still many moves to play before end.

Qf1+! RxQf1 RxQf1+ Kh2 Be5+ g3 Nf3+ win the Queen

Happy Birthday Igor❤
Qf1+ Rxf1 Rxf1+ Kh2 Be5+ g3 Nf3 (fork)
Is that right?
Thanks Igor
u r the best Mr. GM !
I can't believe i find all the moves within seconds.....
I'm playing since 7 months and i am a 1600 rapid because of your help
For the puzzle: a5,e3 & nc2 i think
(Correct me if I'm wrong)
Isnt it queen sac??
Qf8+...Rf8+...Be5+...Nf3+
Thank u too much ❤
if u have 1 piece unemployed, it is 1/16 = 6.25%. so the only way to have less than 4% unemployed is to have all your pieces active
Happy birthday bro
A note on Nielsen as coach first for Anand then for Carlsen.

...qf1+, rf1 (FORCED); ...rf1+, kh2 (FORCED); ...be5+, g3 (FORCED); ...nf3+, k any; ...nd2.
Happy birthday :)
First, watching this 35sec after upload
Qf1+...Rf1...Be5+...NF3+...
the Ba6 move at the end looks completely normal even though it's a blunder and I think it would be easier for white to find the Nc6 tactic than it would be for black.
If I was black and calculated Ba6 I wouldn't even think about calculating any further cuz the position seems normal so I would probably make the same mistake
Qf1… wins the white queen because the knight no longer protects from bishop e5+.
Qch, rook takes, rook takes, Kh2, Bch, G3, K check and bye bye White Queen, hello sunshine...
Oh, at 13:56
Is it Qf1+ Rxf1 Rxf1+ Kh2 Be5+ g3 Nf3+ forking
Knights, mostly, are my 'nemisis' so i trade or take them asap...
Near the end what if king does not capture the bishop sacrifice and instead moves to h8 then what

I was wondering the same, checkmate is better than queen capture anyhow
