Anand spent 1:43 mins on 4th move in world blitz semi-final ?!

[Music] interesting scenario that the coin has been tossed and smearing has the white pieces and amazingly enough Danny this is the repetition of what happened in Moscow the players were even after the first two games and now again smearin has the white pieces as he did then anon the black pieces at a benign brought the game he wins the match that's right but smearing has a time of on teachers of one minute time advantage to compensate for that so it's all down to this game Marin opens with his favorite efore move and Anand playing symmetrically for the moment smearing lashing out with his pawn so this is a typical opening that r9 uses he's used it in many big time competitions he's won a lot of games with it and now just playing quickly all he needs to do is draw and he'll move on to the next round Kasparov or wait to the winner so that's a slight surprise and I'm thinking about this move slightly unusual now what's he going to play never seen an iron so uncertain it's incredible he's spending a lot of time in his Calaca need to remember that he's spotting smear in a minute and for him to be thinking this deeply and it's only like the fourth the fourth move on the board is incredible spoon playing very cleverly here now what's he gonna do I thinking I think this is unbelievably zall most spent a minute how many 20 percent of his time for four moves it's incredible the uncertainty of this strong player he clearly is a bit off form he better get back in force he's gonna be out of this competition he's on the four minutes now it's crazy what inaudible converse you make a movie come move madness come on this is this is unbelievable this this is shocking I'm stunned to see it he's thinking this long on this the fourth move of the chess game analyzing what I do not know but a smearing has successfully thrown him off and now he's used a minute and parity is to think about four moves this is completely ridiculous he's putting himself into a deep deep hole yeah I mean this this simple recapture of the porn by white is a little bit unusual normally you attack this night first having said that the position is fairly simple what is Vichy day finally made a move I mean could could it have been that dramatic I do not know what he was thinking about but it's certainly surprising he spent all that time and finally is chase tonight although although he's renowned to be an incredible speed player we've seen him uncertain in this match he needs to get his form back and he's lost a lot of time in the clock and he needs to start whipping out some moves and finally he's pushed his point up and now he's beginning to play a little bit quicker the bishop attacking it now his night has come out into the game and now he's speeding up the king is castled so this is a fairly well known position but Anand is used to almost two minutes to get that I still don't know what he was doing so that he's played this way before this is a known theoretical position so and I noticed it very well but he's he's moving he's used a lot of time on his clock is used a lot of time and and now he's under three minutes and smearin has not even used one minute he's not even used 60 seconds on his plot and none already used about two and two minutes 15 seconds so the time could be a crucial factor here Anna's position is fine very soild reasonable he has great experience with this opening but he's down on time he's exchanging our pieces now if Knight has to drop back and his drop back to the center the knight kicking at this Bishop so let's let's suppose he wants to save that bishop well then he'll have to drop it back one square he doesn't want to do that he's left sit along Marian increasing the pressure now this Knight is stopping this attack down towards the king the Queen bishop in a very Spratt nning battery down here so the pawn has come up he's taken oh this is fantastic he's taking this point sacrificing a piece and smearin has collected another porn it seems as if he thought he was going to win this night button on has defended it quite simply with this Bishop move and maybe smearing is going to be down a piece okay but smearing has two points for this piece and he's now got a third so he has three pawns for the piece that's compensation itself I can't help but think though that an island of peace is a lot more confident he's starting to move like his old self he's gotten the challenge and he's going to try to meet it moving much quicker moving his king now of that dangerous deadly diagonal he's put it in the corner hiding it and he has a piece but as you said Danny three pawns for it is what White has yeah but I mean I would still prefer I would prefer White's position here definitely and at least Anand has something to go for now it's fairly clear where his chances lie so he's down on time but he's got something to play for now he's whipping off moves as suddenly a pause in the situation look at some earrings bishop despite being a piece down he has some healthy bishops sitting in the middle of the board and he's attacking a point and anon has ignored it this is why they call this a shootout both sides guns come out blazing and now making sure that no attack happens an anon and sacrificed the bishop in the middle but of course he was gaining that Queen and he sacrificed his room his rook for the bishop and now he's attacking he's attacking a rook and a queen this is fantastic battle going on the reason he's done that is to trade off pieces there you go he's just trading more pieces of the board and it seems he's about to win not just one pawn but - he's ripping a rook - no in fact he's only going to win one pawn and he's up a piece and Danny this is like a quick turnaround and Ana's us up a piece okay he's on the piece but he speaking for fantastic it sacrificed his Queen and only verbal sacrifice a non showing his form so at the start of this smearing had three points for the piece now he's only got one fish fish he has a clearly winning position here only problem is time he has about a minute in the house try and win this game smearing has over three minutes and look at a nine displayed his skill his accuracy in his moves moving quickly showing just why they consider him so fast and so rich a speed player he's just moving quickly now he's had a big disadvantage on the clock but he's got an extra piece but this this is not over yet this game is not over and and has only a mere knocked try and win this game but look at that position the piece is all and he that rope down with authority and pàmies ripped off all the extra points he's just got a past point and look at him make a minute look like a year he's ripped another point off the board

The way that the video was framed made that handshake at the end really satisfying.

I don’t know much about chess but that was somewhat entertaining

He was looking for the 1 out of 14,000,606 endings.

Obviously did it to psych out his opponent. I've watched enough Chess Anime to know.

If you enjoyed the commentator, this is my favorite video of him (Maurice Ashley).

"I think I can manage this position."

I keep getting sucked into watching chess matches. Fascinating how quickly they calculate moves. I wish I knew more so I could follow the strategies!

[u/ENORMOUS_VEINY_DICK]

I don't know much about this but what I found the most interesting is that the guy with a lot of time left matched the pace of the guy with little time instead of slowing down and using all that extra time to think almost like having the blazing speed and making moves as fast as possible was more important than winning.

And this is why I go to bed at 3am every night. I get stuck watching videos like this.
