Keres was indeed a fighter. To calculate that precisely where every move seemed to teeter on disaster was brilliant.

[@pertainedorangeman3056]

Imagine getting two queens, your opponent seemingly blunders theirs, only to realize it'd end in a stalemate lol

[@arnieus866]

Dawg is becoming one of my favorite analysis channels. I love these old games many of which I couldn't understand when I was learning back in the 1970s.

[@dareyfairy]

Great video as always. I love how you never give redundant explanations or digress into meaningless trivia and details like other channels.

[@arthurbalado6022]

Absolutely diabolic end game. Thank you so much for sharing it. Truly fantastic game and A++ analysis :))

[@jerryshunk7152]

I thought angelic !

[@benjamindillard2391]

I'd say that Keres, Caruana, Rubinstein, and Korchnoi are the four greatest players to never become champion.

[@borismirchev5557]

There is still hope for Caruana!

[@MartinZanichelli]

and Tarrasch........, but the greatest was Korchnoi.

[@kojiattwood]

Bronstein

[@JuicersSuck]

Levon Aronian is definitely in the discussion.

[@victoreric4557]

@@borismirchev5557There’s no hope bud.

[@sonvu4102]

What a fantastic fight... I'll study it again. Thanks a lot for your explainations. Excellent as always

[@leefields3658]

At my level of skill (I'm guessing somewhere around 1600), usually draws are a little boring to watch. This game was absolutely brilliant (your excellent pithy analysis helped me greatly to understand what was going on)! Two fantastic players. I am Fischer fan--I was a teenager when he won the championship in 1972. Thank you!

[@jackmclaughlin9161]

You can only say wow!!

[@antoniolampreia5953]

Thank you for your masterful comments of this demonstration of will to survive displayed by Keres, thank youagain.

[@ronaldwysocki1204]

Excellent choice. Fantastic work to prepare this video. I studied this game many times when I was much younger, but your discussion of all the traps and defense really is enlightening. I remember that it was a quite a fight but Fischer was unable to win with two connected passers. Qe5 could have led to 1-0, we will never know!

[@vishalkumar-tu5sh]

Thankyou sir...excellent explaining sir...made me understand this beautifull game of chess

[@mustangw8ford415]

[@mentalmoves6032]

What a game! Thanks for this hidden gem.

[@turbonelli]

Whao for a game. I've never seen it before, but it's fantastic.

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

Thanks - wonderful game.

Nice one Chess Dawg

[@Corteum]

Great game. Great analysis.

[@saarike]

What a game, what a game!!!!! Thank you for sharing and explaining situations.

[@doncar9]

A great fight indeed.

[@jerryshunk7152]

Great Game!

[@grone07]

What a game

[@jcpoza1971]

Great game indeed!!!

[@wizardatmath]

Tension ❤

[@Willy-nu3oc]

what a game

[@valbarker610]

what if fischer promoted to a rook instead of sacrificing the queen for the bishop? preventing the stalemate line since rook takes at the end of the line would leave white with a square

[@edmundbebing6809]

Great game and the way you annotate much better

[@michaelbodine9240]

Wow!

[@bakermantop]

3:07 why didnt Fischer played cxb4, axb4 and then Nxb4 regarding that whites c3 pawn was x-rayed by black bishop g7?

[@TravelingMooseMedia]

Wooo Estonia!

[@Tod_oMal]

Would you be willing to show and analyze a match of Fischer losing? Although there are probably not many...

[@jamesdarcy3902]

Fischer had a losing record vs Tal, and Gligoric was also a thorn in his side.

[@user-qk5oi7xg1y]

Keres wasn't allowed a title shot by Botvinnik who was backed up by the USSR's Polit Bureau.

[@exoplanet11]

Wow

[@markhughes7927]

Gladiatorial!

[@ramazanhoxha4265]

paul keres defeated 9 world champions from Capablanca to Karpov...

[@MartinLewkovitch]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@MrGyges]

Paul the Second, as he was dubbed, unfairly, since there was nothing remotely second rate about Keres, as you’ve so ably demonstrated

[@tonyennis1787]

Keres, Korchnoi... best players to never be WC

[@user-ol4tt1we3c]

I wish I had Fischer's taste in clothes ♡

[@tofgovaerts9365]

Do not forget the incredible "almost" delegation from Ukraine: Bronstein, Ivanchuk, Geller

[@Gwer98]

Dr. Fine said Keres was very anti-communist which was a factor in the soviet swine never giving him a title shot.
