Hello everyone and welcome back to a new video.
Chess is finally getting popular in Italy
and I'm sure that in the next 10 years we will have world-class chess players.
But let's take it easy.
Today I'll show you a game where a 14-year-old boy beats a super great master in just 16 moves.
An amazing and unique game where the great master looks like a beginner.

Let's start.
Ok, here we are.
Today we are going to comment on the game played at the international tournament of grade between
Nicola Sperossa, 14 years old and young promise of chess in Italy
and Badur Jobava, a super great master who named Jobava London System,
an opening of chess, and also surpassed the 2700 points Elofide.
Very few of them get there.
Sperossa opens with pawn e4.
Jobava responds with c5, Sicilian defense.
He follows knight f3, Sicilian open.
Jobava plays pawn e6.
Sperossa pushes in d4, plays the center.
He follows pawn for d4, knight for d4, knight f6.
Jobava attacks the pawn in e4.
Sperossa develops a piece and defends the pawn in e4 with the knight.
And Jobava here decides to get out of the main lines and continues with bishop b4.
It's a logical move.
He nails the knight and is threatening to capture the pawn in e4.
Sperossa pushes in e5.
He plays the best move, so he proves to be prepared in this variant.
He attacks the knight.
The knight jumps in d5.
Jobava now increases the pressure on the knight in c3.
And Sperossa continues with queen d2.
He plays the best move again.
As a style of play, Jobava is an attacker.
He is a very aggressive player.
He always tries to attack.
Even in this game he is trying because, as you can see, he is putting pressure.
On the other hand, Sperossa, who on socials is called Biregina,
surely some of you will know him,
has a very solid style of play.
He always tries to be precise, not to make mistakes, he calculates very well.
He is also prepared tactically, but his style of play is a solid strategic style of play.
He gets very close to Carlsen's, because he tries not to make mistakes and not to risk.
So it's very difficult for him to lose.
Jobava, in this position, continues with knight to knight.
He plays the best move.
And Sperossa continues with pawn to knight.
This is the only move that the white can play to maintain a slight advantage.
With the other moves he was even at a disadvantage.
Why is the white forced to capture pawns?
Very simple.
After, for example, queen to pawn, which seems the most logical move,
he plays bishop to bishop, pawn to queen to c7.
Look at this position.
The queen of black attacks the pawn in e5,
attacks the pawn in c3,
and black gains an advantage.
So here he had to be very careful, and the white was very good at finding the right move.
So in this position, pawn to knight.
Now Jobava withdraws the bishop in e7,
and Sperossa continues to play the best move again.
Queen to g4.
He puts pressure on the pawn in g7.
This is a very strong move,
because, in practice, it prevents black from being able to rook.
After the rook, he would follow the bishop to h6,
with the threat of knight's move in g7.
So the only move would be pawn to g6, but the tower would fall.
So black can't rook, and Jobava is forced to play the f8.
He defends the pawn in g7.
But let's take a look at the position here.
The tower in h8 is a piece that doesn't play.
Black has only developed the alfiero, and all the pieces are at home.
He doesn't have space on the checkerboard, he has to move an important pawn, like the pawn in d.
White instead has space on the checkerboard, he has a pawn in e5.
Look at how much space he has, especially on the king's side.
He can easily develop his pieces.
He can put them in the safe, he can push an f4 or f5, for example.
He has a lot of ideas, a lot of plans here.
In short, the situation for black seems disastrous.
But he continues with the d3 alfiero.
Great move, very logical.
He controls the light cases.
He prepares to put them in the safe with the rook.
Jobava jumps instead with the knight in a6.
This is a bad move.
A logical idea, certainly, in the sense that he wants to play knight c5,
knight for alfiero,
that is, to change pieces and simplify the position.
Black here has to change pieces, otherwise white has a too strong attack.
Ok, the strategy is right, but the maneuver is not.
It's not this one.
He had to play d6 pawn to get back into the game.
Ok, perosa puts the king in the safe with the rook.
And Jobava plays knight c5, attacking the alfiero.
But in this position, perosa is very good.
He leaves the alfiero in d3 and plays f4 pawn.
He prepares to attack.
His plan is to play f5 pawn, pawn for,
then open the f column and attack with the tower.
You see, the tower attacks the king with the x-ray.
Jobava here now plays d6 pawn.
He can stay there.
He wants to capture in e5.
And perosa does not waste time, but continues with his plan.
That is, he plays f5 pawn.
This is the only imprecision that perosa commits in the game.
In fact, Jobava here could regain the equality.
But he has to find moves for nothing simple.
White is putting a lot of pressure with his pieces, right?
Ok, Jobava, a very strong player, a great master, very respected,
can not find the right continuation.
Here he plays e5 pawn for pawn.
He makes a mistake.
Instead, the right continuation was h5, attacking the queen.
After queen e2, pawn for pawn now, queen for queen d5.
Here it is, the black's plan.
The black must try to change the pieces.
If he changes the queens, even better.
Here, the game would have been completely even.
But guys, the move h5 was not trivial.
In short, he had to see everything.
It was not a simple plan.
So Jobava, after f5, captures the pawn in e5.
He makes a mistake.
Perosa plays pawn for e6 instead.
Very simple.
He opens the f-column.
He leaves the knight in play.
Why?
Because he is threatening.
Tower for f7.
On king g8, queen for g7, crazy chess.
On king d4, he can think of capturing or playing fb5 check.
In short, the position here is a disaster for the black.
The black has not played in this game.
Jobava continues with ff6, trying to defend.
In reality, this is also a wrong move.
Because now the white has a winning combination.
The white has the knight in play, but also has a strong attack.
Here you have to be good tactically to find the solution.
But Perosa here shows that he understands this position very well.
Because he finds the right move.
That is, he plays tower for queen.
And after queen for tower, he follows queen g5.
And Jobava abandons.
Wow, what a game, guys.
It lasted only 16 moves.
Incredible.
Congratulations to Nicolas.
With this game, he has also become a trusted master.
I'm sure he will get much higher if he continues like this.
He is young, so he has the age on his part.
He has a very precise style of play.
So congratulations and good luck for the next tournaments.
Let's see a little to understand this position.
So what's going on?
The white is attacking the woman.
The woman has no house.
She can't go anywhere.
Because the white controls all the houses.
So the only thing the black can do is counterattack.
Play queen for e6 and attack the woman in g4.
But once the white moves the woman, for example, to g3.
The attack on the woman in f6 remains.
And now the black really can't do anything.
He is about to lose the woman.
So the abandonment now is more than right.
As you can see, an absurd game.
As you can see, today a young master,
because Nicholas here in this tournament was still a master,
can also beat an experienced player
who has reached 2700 yellow fidel points.
So a super great master, as he played.
Obviously there is a lot of work behind it.
The chess is not simple.
There is a lot of study, a lot of motivation.
We all know this.
But today, as today, anything can happen.
It is right to believe in it.
