Niemann Avverte il Mondo 'Sono Imbattibile'

Hello everyone and welcome to this new video The US Championship 2023 has just started and Hans Niemann can finally play in a tournament where the best players participate and in a tweet he writes It's time to let the chess talk by themselves He seems a very determined Niemann He can finally face Aronian, Caruana, Wesley So The best players in the world Now let's see how the first round went Before starting, remember to like and subscribe to the channel Thanks to all those who are subscribing Let's start Here we are at the first round Niemann faces the white pieces Swerx Darius 2640 points They have a similar score Let's see what happens Niemann opens with Qe4 Swerx answers with e5 He plays Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 Spanish game Swerx attacks the bishop with Qe6 Niemann withdraws the bishop to a4 He plays Nf6 Let's go back to the main variant of the Spanish game Niemann plays Rc5 Swerx plays Nc5 He prefers to develop the pieces to then try to secure them rather than capturing the pawn in e4 It is dangerous to capture the pawn in e4 It exists as a line, but it is almost never played Niemann continues with Nc3 The idea is to play d4 and occupy the center Swerx pushes in b5 and attacks the bishop The bishop retreats to b3 and puts pressure on the f7 house Swerx continues with d6 Niemann plays Nd4 He attacks the bishop in the dark Swerx moves the bishop to b6 Niemann plays Nd4 Now he intends to play pawn for pawn in b5 and then pawn for tower for tower Swerx then develops the bishop in g4 He puts pressure on the knight and attacks the queen in Rgx Niemann does the same thing Niemann plays Rg5, attacks the knight in f6 and puts pressure on the queen in d8 Up to this point, it is all theory In Spanish, players are usually very prepared Swerx plays Nb8, the best move He puts pressure on the bishop and the pawn in b2 Niemann continues with d5 He attacks the knight The knight retreats to e7 Niemann plays h3 He interrogates the bishop The bishop moves to h5 Swerx continues to put pressure on the knight and the queen Niemann moves the queen to d3 Here, on the other hand, the engine recommends the move bishop to knight in f6 to double the black pawns and it gives a little advantage to the white Niemann instead plays queen to d3 precisely Swerx retreats the knight knight to d7, so as not to double the pawns Niemann then plays bishop c2 follows h6 bishop to knight in e7, the best move queen to bishop and Niemann plays b4 he tries to play on the side of the queen Swerx puts the king safe with a rook and Niemann finishes the development with knight d2 In practice, now the black is left with the bishop pair while Niemann no longer has the bishop pair However, the center here, as you can see, seems closed at the moment Swerx plays bishop g6 attacks e4 attacks the queen to the x-ray Niemann continues with a5 attacks the bishop in the dark, the bishop retreats to a7 and now Niemann plays pawn c4 he wants to capture in b5 at the right time and then maybe put pressure on the c7 pawn the c7 pawn is a weak pawn Swerx brings the knight instead in f6 he wants to play h5 knight, f4 knight attack the queen, attack the g2 pawn Niemann continues with queen c3 h5 knight arrives pawn to b5 and Swerx plays f4 knight now the bishop in a7 is dangerous, attacks the x-ray the knight is dangerous because it attacks the h3 pawn and the g2 one Niemann plays the best move, king h2 he defends the h3 pawn and the g2 pawn excellent move Swerx captures in b5 and Niemann here continues with rook e1 in reality he would have had an excellent advantage after g3 pawn, h5 knight, rook c1 he had to put pressure on the c7 pawn hunting the knight first here he would have had an advantage instead Niemann plays rook e1 he hopes that one day the f and e columns will open he follows queen d7 bishop b1 now Niemann wants to bring the rook to c1 to attack Swerx defends with rook c8 rook c1 arrives and Swerx plays f5 what is happening in this position? the black wants to attack because he is already attacking with the bishop, he is attacking with the knight he wants to open the f column he wants to attack with the queen, with the rook, with the bishop, with many pieces but this is a strange position, a bit particular Niemann plays knight h4, attacks the bishop the bishop retreats in e8 and Niemann captures the f5 pawn even the white can attack Niemann even leaves the d5 pawn in play and for some reason Swerx does not capture maybe he was afraid of this move even if knight for d5 is the best move Swerx plays knight e2 with knight e2 he is clearly giving the double to queen and rook he wants to gain at least the quality Niemann moves the queen to d3 and plays knight for rook after rook for rook even if the white has less quality here he has a great advantage in correct play he wins the game why? because Niemann is threatening to give a crazy move in h7 now his pieces are coordinated so he has a great attack Swerx captures with the bishop in f2 as you can see the position is not easy very difficult the black attacks the knight in h4 Niemann pushes in f6 threatens a crazy move g5 pawn arrives Swerx defends the h7 house with the queen Niemann retreats the knight in f3 and after bishop in a2 here we reach a critical moment of the game Niemann practically has only one move to keep the advantage and to win the game unfortunately he doesn't play it even if he thought about it so he thinks about it he is about to play it he even goes to play this move which is knight for g5 look at Niemann he goes to play the move then he stops, he blocks and for some reason he plays the move queen f5 what a pity queen f5 is a wrong move the black starts to be better he had to capture and after f1 pawn with the idea of ​​playing f5 and g5 the white would have had a devastating attack ok, let's go back to the game Niemann plays queen f5 he even risks losing but why didn't he find this move? what happened? he was left with 58 seconds of time 58 seconds are very few then there is also the increase of 30 seconds but there is little time to think so Niemann plays queen f5 Swerx continues with queen f3 he follows with rook c3 queen f4 check g3 pawn queen for knight knight for queen now Swerx plays the best move c5 pawn and Niemann makes another mistake he plays c5 pawn at this point it would be enough to change the pieces to black simplify the position and win the game because he has an extra quality he follows with rook c5 rook c5 here the best move is also a fairly simple move queen for queen and then after capturing in c5 look here guys it seems very simple the position is simplified the black is much better no Swerx brings Niemann back in the game he plays c5 pawn and Niemann obviously captures the pawn in e5 and now he maintains a bit of attack so he has a chance to draw the game Swerx continues with queen f7 he follows queen in e4 Niemann threatens to checkmate in h7 queen h5 g4 pawn Niemann attacks the bishop and Swerx plays f6 tower this looks like a strong move in reality the game here is back in complete parity Swerx wants to play f2 tower and checkmate and capture the knight keep the tower active and then try to checkmate however also the white attacks in fact Niemann captures the bishop after f2 tower checkmate plays king g3 knight tower checkmate in g6 and here Niemann has parity why? because after queen g7 he follows queen in e8 checkmate queen f8 queen g6 checkmate and so the game ends for triple repetition it was a nice game I would say Niemann could have won it if he found the knight move for g5 he was about to play it then he stopped for some reason he didn't have much time but then he even risked losing the game so the draw can wait it's only the first turn let's see how it will go in the second turn let's see what it will combine against the most ranked players Caruana, Wesley So Aronian, Ray Robson there are very strong players Dominguez, Lanier, Perez we will see some nice games thank you all for watching this video don't forget to like and subscribe ciao and see you next time
