Hello everyone and welcome to another incredible game. This one happening in the Turkish Super League. I missed this one as I was busy covering the Sinquefield Cup and the eSports World Cup, but it's only been a few days since it happened, so we're not too late to the party.
It is Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş versus Vassily Ivanchuk. Two names that I would say require zero introduction, especially on this channel because we've covered I would say maybe even a hundred games of Vassily Ivanchuk. And Yağız Kaan, he's incredibly young, but already climbing up to be world number number 20
even. I think he's currently around 27 15, but I mean at his age that is simply incredible. I think even Magnus Carlsen said that at his age there was never a talent such as this one.
So yeah, always incredible when he played a couple of very serious matches. He plays them frequently, like every six months he challenged Peter Svidler. He challenged Veselin Topalov in the last match, and he has yet to lose a single match. So he is you know quite quite a spectacle, I would say.
So yeah, let's check it out. Yağız Kaan with white opens with pawn to e4. We have pawn to e5 by the legend himself. We have knight to f3, knight to c6, and bishop to c4. So the Italian Game countered with knight to f6, the two knights defense. And we have pawn to d3, the modern bishop's opening. Of course
everyone wants to see knight g5, but not today. And bishop to c5 and bishop d7 are two of the most common ways to play this. Sometimes you can play a6, but you know, for for humans not so much. We have castles castles and sorry, rook d1.
We have pawn to h6. And this pawn to h6 move is where Vassily really deviates from theory. There are really thousands of games with pawn to D6. It's the most standard idea, but pawn to H6 has not been played in top grandmaster practice.
And you can see that Vassily is still an hour and 26 minutes on the clock. They started with an hour 30.
This is a preparation from Vassily. So, okay. Pawn to C3. Yaacob can spend 5 minutes on this sort of novelty, which is for Yaacob can pretty much playing instantly. B6 and pawn to A4. We have knight to H7, now preparing to go knight G5. Knight B to D2 and the knight to G5. We have pawn to H3,
burning almost 30 minutes on this. So, Yaacob can is already down to 34 minutes on the clock. We have king to H8 and pawn to D4, striking in the center. And Vassily could go for something like E captures on D4, but he goes for pawn to F5. And he says, "All right, you're already below half an hour on the clock.
Good luck calculating this because you have to calculate everything. You can go bishop D5, you can go captures on E5, you can go captures on F5. And all of these moves seem like a pretty good idea. To give you an example, if you go, let's say, captures on F5, bishop captures, and now you trade D
captures, knight captures, Let's say knight to F1. Let's say bishop captures. Let's say the queen's come off the board. Captures, captures, rook captures, bishop. And now something like pawn to E4, the knight coming to E5. I mean, these guys can calculate this out in pretty much 1
