Feels like white should have gone with g4 earlier in the endgame

Wonderful game...well analysed in simple language

Amazing. Thank you so much.

I enjoy your in depth, serious commentary and selection of games. Your channel is unique in this genre, a true classic. But you should maximize the square size like other popular chess channels do, such as Dr Mike Chess, Gotham chess, Agadamator chess etc. It makes huge difference for viewers. Also that red on black for text is ugly, see how others do it.

Phenomenal combination. Incredible that Alekhine had to calculate all this at the board.

Wonderful comparison between the two games 👍

Another exceptionally well commentated game. A great chess channel.

Brutal. Paralysed 4 with 3!! 😮 Thank you for providing such beautiful game :D

stunning.

Nice game with Nice analysis ❤, generally being on the defensive leads to such a defensive but paralyzed position. Thanks Sir.

Couldn't black have defended against the mate, and also opened up his position, with Bd7?

Great content. Please keep it up.

Really we are very grateful to you for you posting such videos of games of gm making us develop in chess, we could learn and understand positional play and strategy. I really encourage you to do more , thanks a lot 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Brillante partida del campeón sin corona, gracias chess wisdom, saludos

You keep showing your imagination too much which takes time instead of going straight to the game 😂

Thankyou

Definitely a memorable position, wow. Great game and great commentary, as always. Thank you very much :) S nastupayushim novim godom!

Great checkmate - thanks.

Wow ! Such a wonderful game ❤

I am a fan of your channel. The selection of classical games is outstanding and your comments are very useful. Deep enough to really learn, but not so that it becomes confusing. BTW, I hear you changed your pronunciation of “Alekhine” changed. Although you used the correct Russian pronunciation before, now you use the way Alekhine himself wanted his name pronounced.

«Май нейм ис Олег» ахх акцент🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

When I learned about chess in high school, the books in my town's library were all about games played in the previous century or early 20th Century - fantastic abilities. I would later read about the masters' lives.

It was this game that got Boris in to trouble with the Chess authorities as they thought with such great imagination and creativity that Spassky would surly be the next opponent against Botvinnik in 1960. Spassky had a great deal of emotional trouble at that time and it deeply affected his play. Fischer knew that if he made things tense and difficult before the Match with Spassky that Boris could be put out of his comfort zone. Spassky preferred to have aggression only on the board, not in real life. Nonetheless, who else has ever won six Candidates matches on the road to the Championship against some of the strongest players in history?? If Spassky had been in the mood he was in this game when he played Fischer he would have most likely beaten him as he was superior in creating unusual attacks and in knowing when it was the Critical Position. Keep showing these great games.

A very young Bobby Fischer was probably impressed by Spassky in this game. Philidor would probably have been proud too especially if Spassky has found the right continuation. Ty for great video. Merry Christmas! 🎁

As David Bronstein himself pointed out, exchanging pawns and then queens isn't dangerous in a purely chess sense, but as a psychological weapon it shouldn't be ignored. No KID player wants to see it: it "throws cold water" on black's desire for a combative game. Sort of like the KID's version of the Berlin defense.

It has to be said that you can't go for Qc7 if you don't have already seen the hidden shot on Nb3. Otherwise you are just playing a move move strategy which is by nature just a game of luck.

Kh1 !

Fischer v Byrne.

In 1970 there was a USSR vs Rest of the World match where Boris Spassky and Bent Larsen each represented board 1. Spassky was World Chess Champion at the time, and during his 2nd encounter of the match against Larsen, he faced Larsen's Attack, 1.b3. Rapid development, central play, and one crazy pawn would be key ingredients to this aesthetically pleasing 17-move chess miniature by Boris Spassky against Larsen's Attack. There's a brilliant Rook Sacrifice so that's my favorite chess game. Special because I watched that match live.😎

First, i subscribed. Then i saw 5 green arrows acriss the board, distracting. Then I unsubscribed.

at the 10:27 mark what happens after RxP?

A master piece!

Thank you. This game was like a symphony that brings you to tears. And Boris seems human. He has a sense of humour, and like I, smokes like a chimney @-)

Im annoyinh watching this its to much talk

Very great effort very very thanks for this video

The black's pawn structure is better. 4x2 versus 3x3.

I feel tal could always win by luck and I feel none of his sacrifices are justified

For F sake, that rook sacrifice is just sick. Spassky was a beast 100%

Thank you for showing the game with your instructive explanation.

Nice analysis right from the opening stage till the end game ❤, thanks Sir.

Love this! I had tried to adopt the Leningrad Variation as a youth, Spasky, win or lose was my hero, but failed to appreciate keeping the N off f4 (a must) by the subtle e3! Had I seen this video I would have been so much better prepared!! BTW the commercial breaks were spot on for dramatic timing, your hand or the channel's?

g4 because knight is pinned by bishop.

Really wonderful video.

Brillante partida y genial analisis, gracias chess wisdom, saludos

Fantástica partida del genial Spassky, gracias chess wisdom, saludos

Fischer vs Benko 1963. A better Rook sac in my opinion.

Simply the greatest chess channel with the clearest and most insightful explanations. Thank you for making chess so enjoyable! You are the best

Love from INDIA ❤❤❤❤

Great game! I came to TH-cam looking for analysis and discovered your channel. Thanks for your passion for classic games! Bronstein played very creative, tactical chess!
