Took Alireza three brilliant moves to win his first candidate game. Definitely not an easy tournmanet!

I once got 3 brilliant moves in a game. Then I woke up. Then I got in my delorian and traveled back in time to defeat Paul Morphy with a 10 move checkmate. Then I woke up again and realized my elo is 1000

The guy making thumbnails really puts his heart and soul into it

These kind of laymens reviews make chess more shareable and consumable for the average fan. Very smart and I hope more like this video get created in the future

This is a great voiceover person in my opinion.

Who the fuck is making these thumbnails? Give 'em a raise.

it is already a big achievement to play in the candidate tournament at age of 19

I've gotten a brilliant move in a game before... then made a mistake the next move... I'm still not sure what made that move brilliant

I'm wondering what Magnus would have done in the (now unlikely) event that Alireza finished second of the Candidates.. If Magnus declined to play, Alireza would have played the Championship match and could have won the title without actually facing Magnus :)

The background music does not match the video

00:06 why chessplayers always shake hands so softly? That's weird

[NecrpotatoIndeed]

One time I played a guy who got 2 brilliant moves in one game, but blundered immediately after each

[rigorgabito]

Lucky you rapport did not wore neon green hoodie

[bookle]

I once made a blunder that gave my opponent a brilliant move. lol

[jeffli]

Why did they exchange papers at 2:27 ?

[theneon]

In one game I've make two brilliant moves in a row, however, make the mistake after this. Eventually, I won the game, it was really hard.
P.S. My FIDE rating is 1895

At this level of competition, defeating a GM like a chess player is very rewarding. In my opinion, this game has been the most beautiful game so far.
