"Fine I'll do it myself"
I can just picture him holding back laughter as he started moving his king up the board
he shoud have traded kings instead of qeens
Imagine being in a brutal war, then all of the sudden as your castle is crumbling the enemy king just walks out and spits in your face while loading a cannon to blast you in the face
Damn! Chess is hard.
Back in 2nd grade in nationals, I did a king walk where I got my king to h6 with my opponent king on h8. I had a Bishop on c4 blocking off g7 and a rook on a8.
I played Kg8#
That's just true leadership
Lol this king did a Thanos "Fine, I'd do it myself."
17:07 why couldn't he just take after he brought the bishop after shuffling rook
I love these German words like zwischenzug and Zugzwang hahaha nice video btw 👍🏻
The queen is hanging c4
the king was on steroids
Love Nigel Short.
You are Annoying 😫
'cause I would walk 500 ranks and I would walk 500 more
Seirawan used to also be known for King Walks.
Finally, the alpha male
Man what a walk
KING : IM COMING FOR YOU
Levi you need to check out GM Abish Mathew's king walk😂😂
To be honest I never heard of this game before. I've been playing for a few years now.
if not for the title of the video I might have not guessed king h2 haha
Garry, Karry started off nicely
Everyone: King isn’t a good attacker
Nigel Short: no
Chess Gods:*agrees with Short *
The black queen and two rooks powerless to do anything but sit on their asses and watch as the opponent king marches directly up to their king and then he resigns from the sheer gigachad power of it all
When I saw the title, I thought you were covering Edward Lasker vs George Thomas, which I believe to be the superior 'King walk' game, though the King walk was involuntary. However, I see you covered that a year ago:

A man and his wife finally working together to achieve their goals, such a wholesome family moment
I played an even crazier king walk and won, though my opponent could have stopped it.
"The king is a fighting piece. Use it" – Wilhelm Steinitz. Nigel took it literally.
Not teasing the viewer and no deal bar no flags or photos I see the slight changes which you made over the years
Great analysis again! Really top !
white midgame is so dominant, everything is attacking while suffocating black
"both have the same amount of peices"
"No we have a…King
"Wh- we also have a king-"
"Not for long"
you gotta develop that king
10:17 NECKKK
Just played Mr. Nigel in a simul… he really is that good😅💯🙏
Which video is this???
King:Were of the Same kind BUT IM FAR SUPERIOR
The king: "and this is how I met your mother"
I got Nigel autograph in Nepal
only 910 comments?
13:11 I would play Rf4
nigel short is actually the grandmaster with the lowest iq
10:19 botez gambit declined, rozman variation
14:38
3:15 I'm just scratching the surface of 800 elo but I legitimately used that exact same counter the other day. It's really good cause you end up just a full pawn ahead AND remove castling rights
after the splitting of the white structure, why didnt black move the rook to the open file on d8?
Stockfish on my computer didn't even see the king walk at first. Bro literally played better than Stockfish
Woof!
@2:52 missed the opportunity to say Short castles
10:17 I really analyzed a 1 move queen blunder LMAO
