| Dec-03-16 | | ShooHoo: Thank you for the links, Eyal! Great reaction from GM Tal Baron:)) Much fun to also see Svidler's reaction, who completely understands how difficult is to find this with only 2 minutes on the clock in last game. To quote Judith: "wow!" |

| Dec-09-16 | | Owl: Is there any games from before that was similar to Qh6 or Qh3 with double rook mate? or should I say Queen sac with Double rook mate? |
|
| Dec-09-16 | | Eyal: <Owl> Yeah, two predecessors for the final combination were mentioned in previous posts here: N Popov vs A Novopashin, 1979 Vyzmanavin vs V Tukmakov, 1986 |

 | | MJCB: I was impressed - like many (if not all) - by the final combination. One thing that impressed me also with Karjakin - when looking at the video - is that when he played 49 ... Rh7, he seems not to expect a forced mate to come (he did not seem to have seen 50 Qh6 coming), but when it took place, it took him less than a second to resign! For me, it took at least 10 seconds to determine that it was the end (my Elo is more than 1,000 points below theirs to put things into perspective). When I play and something like that happens to me, I cool down, then think, then resign after I re-adjusted my tie. For the deciding game, resigning in one second is also impressive from my standpoint, both from a calculation and sportsmanship perpectives. |

 | | Chnebelgrind: another predecessor
A Neumann vs Przepiorka, 1904 |
|
| Dec-20-16 | | talwnbe4: Carlsen played better during the rapid games than the match proper.. and choosing the heavily analysed Ruy Lopez instead of his off-beat openings wasn't a good choice against a player like Karjakin. |

| Dec-25-16 | | Rolfo: <alligator> says it all ! Thanks |
|
| Dec-26-16 | | ChessHigherCat: Those guys see so far in advance it's like a different game entirely. As a lowly mortal, I kept analyzing in terms of "now white can finally get the knight on d5 and if black takes he can recapture with the other knight and then play Bb6, and Carlsen is like: "Ho hum, who cares about d5!" |

 | | keypusher: <Caissa04: How does Karjakin miss 50.Qh6+! ?> How do you miss far more obvious moves under far less pressure? Chess is a hard game. |
|
| Jan-02-19 | | SpiritedReposte: Lol yea Qh6 so obvious...yea right. What a pretty shot. Checkmate either way he captures. |

 | | Everybodychessnow: On move 48 black plays qf2 but best move was qxf4 then 49. Rc8+...kh7 50. Rxf4...bf6 that's a good way to continue. |

 | | fredthebear: Sergey Karjakin was born and raised in the Ukraine. He surely is displeased with Communist dictator Vladimir Putin's bloodthirsty invasion of Ukraine. Putin does not cry; he is THE Russian Bear: https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/09840... |

 | | Jonathan Sarfati: See how Peter Svidler did something similar to Carlsen himself four years later: Svidler vs Carlsen, 2020 |
|
| Aug-15-24 | | EvanTheTerrible: Qh6 is probably my favorite move in chess history. Not terribly difficult, but to win a world championship with it is something else. |

 | | Check It Out: <ETT> Agreed. The move itself is beautiful, but context matters. How unlikely it is that the final move of a WC match is decided by such an aesthetic move. It would be interesting to compare final moves of all WC matches played and pick a winner and top 3. I'm too lazy to do that, someone get on it! |
