Dude. Really?

All I need to say is

wow.

What what what? Oh. You just saw Hikaru on full big brain mode. Now, we'll see a position that happened in the analysis in my game.

Credit to SlowCynicalQuip for spotting that. Now, to the talking. 

Look. My ideas were to do a sing along with the readers, but I already learned that's not gonna work OK?

So. I'll give you some amazing moves, and commentate on them. But first, 

How do you find an amazing move when you are playing? 

Queen sacs don't happen every day. They only happen if you think about doing them. And for that, you need creativity to flow with it. Qxh7, Qxh7, Qxg7, Qxf7, Rxg7, Bxg7, Bxh7, and Bxh6. Also, Rxh5, Rh8, and other mating sacrifices are all so important to look for. As black, sometimes Rxc3 works, sometimes Bxh3, and everything I mentioned above flipped. For example, take a very VENOMOUS opening called the Dragon.

Tata Steel 2021.

What. 

What.

What. 

What!?

How did a 2660 that I've only heard of 2 times win this tournament? It's amazing how Jorden Van Foreest was calm and correct at the right times. Take the armageddon. He played coolly and beat Giri on time when he had lower time odds. He was fast and correct. But who joins the party? 

Esipenko? 

Who's that?

Well, now you should know.

No, it's not Donchenko.

It's not Benko.

It's Esipenko.

That dude who beat Carlsen. He passed 2700.

And why did I not know him?
Anyway, Esipenko played PHENOMINALLY and he beat Magnus, who was playing like a 2200 to be honest.

That concludes my blog.
