Not in chess. If someone says theyre a piece ahead they usually mean a knight or bishop as it’s rare it’s anything bigger. If they’re up by a pawn, they say they are up by a pawn.

You don't have to see the lines, you just need to see if it's winning!! Last week I had a game where I was down a piece, I "blundered" a piece, but it was actually M1 when he captured my "blundered" piece (I missed the M1 because the position was so packed in the middle and I thought I just blundered a piece lol while in fact my opponent shouldn't have taken that piece :/ ) anyway, when I was down a piece, I went to sacrifice my rook as well lol my opponent had a queen, 1 horsey and 2 rooks! But his position required him to give the queen for a pawn to avoid checkmate lol and I won that game after I went for M6 instead of M2 that I missed ;_; (again duh) well then again often times I go for fancier checkmates rather than the normal ones... Hmmm
@@amoldivo -- I used to play against a guy who would reliably take any piece that I offered him. I would deliberately leave a piece hanging. His piece, which was preventing mate in 1 by me, would then grab the hanging piece and -- presto ! -- checkmate.
@@amoldivo -- Yes. We were learning to play chess, so we often played against each other.

I used to play a lot of chess when I was little with my grandparent (may he rest in peace), when I moved to another country I kept playing Ina club for 3 more years. Then I suddenly stopped. Now, 10 years later I started to play again, with my roommates and I got caught again by this game. Also, I'm a historian, so explaining battles from ancient times with chess pieces is just, 10 out of 10. I just found yesterday your channel and goddamn man.

A lot of the downvotes probably come from idiots who object to the title, even though it's scrupulously exact as far as any experienced chess player would refer to "sacrificing all one's pieces" (i.e. not pawns, which are not pieces, and not the king, which is an impossibility).
This was amazing! Serper was so bold and aggressive, Nikolaidis still had a really nice counterattack (46 & 47), only to realize quickly that he's lost! By the way, the American grandmaster Grigory Serper is a product of the impressive Soviet chess school. This game was played three years before he emigrated to the United States! Just giving credit where it's due...
I am sorry that I can't give a hundred up-votes to this video. Both S and N have something to tell their grandchildren about one day. A truly extraordinary game! It certainly has an honored place in my Favorite Chess Games playlist. Thank you, agadmator.
I love your channel. I never watched so much chess on UA-cam before. Your narrating is very good, and the way to explain things are concise and to the point. Thank you so much for your contributions to chess.
More to the point, in chess you have limited time for your moves. While details differ, the main idea is this: you get 2 hours to think about your first 40 moves, another hour for the next 20, half an hour for the rest. Quite commonly, a player needs a lot of time in midgame for some complicated position or trying to calculate whether some sacrifice would work. Which means they are incredibly short on time, say 3 minutes left after the 32nd move - 8 moves left until 40 - or something like that. So you cannot really calculate a lot of stuff anymore. But if you somehow manage to make these 8 moves, you'll get another hour, allowing for another deep think. This is where you look, especially if in a better position, for some repetitions to pass moves without losing much time.
Discovered this channel yesterday and I'm a fan already! I've loved chess from the core of my heart and planning to resume my practice after final exams. Love your channel ❤
Wow.. I just found your channel. I love it. I've been playing chess for 17 years. My best chess match ever ended with my opponent (black) opening a pawn 2 squares, which allowed me to do "Pawn en passant" resulting in my Queen opening up for a discovery Check mate. It was absolutely beautiful.
More insane games I've seen: 1. FZVKvcKB_To human wins against best chess engine in the world 2. lFXJWPhDsSY, chess engine wins aginst other chess engine by trapping the queen.
"You see, black pieces have a preset capture limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own pieces at them until they reached their limit and resigned"
An extraordinary perception of the game, strategies, planning, and execution is carried out with perfection. A great cornering of the king by sacrifices. A game to be recommended for lovers of chess to enjoy and learn the art. Fabulous game.
Beautiful loved all that pretty cool a lot of confidence with those sacrifices glad it worked out for him Black tried to bring it to him White did great sacrificing but making nice offensive gains Thanks for the game
Except the joke isn't funny bc Noone in chess history has ever sacrificed a king. The king is always alive. Check mate always ends the match instantly, there is no move made after that
It's funny how you seemed to be a little bit down at the beginning of the video but then started to get excited as the game went on. I don't know what you had been going through back then or maybe if you had just woke up and still was kind of sleepy, if you still had an ordinary job which you didn't like that much or whatever, but it's nice to see in other people how better we can feel about ourselves when we do the things we love.
New sub here. Love the channel so far. I was wondering if you just upload recaps of games or if you would be willing to do some tutorial/strategy explanation videos for newish players?
That last move Be3+ goes to show you that you really have to keep your wits about you even after gaining a huge advantage either materially or positionally or both, you must thoroughly and with complete certainty secure a win when winning. Surprises like that happen in chess more often than you think, especially at higher levels.
it's worth noting that white sacrificed all of his pieces and also one queen from promoted pawn. so basically he sacrificed more material than he had while starting a game. well done
What did it cost ?
Everything
*E V E R Y T H I N G*

White : Doesn't take
Black : I resign
Black just learned how to sacrifice 101 in the end by sacrificing the bishop, which was turned down 💀🤧🤷 and he resigned
Agad's attitude is like he is doing us a favor by telling us about this game. And it's true.
But the pawns! aren't they pieces too?
Pawn lives matter!!!
No, pawns are pawns, not pieces, sorry

they are transpiece....
