Just recently came across your channel. You’re the only one on TH-cam that actually explains all of the threats and ideas, which makes it very easy to follow and learn. Excellent work.
Geller was a TREMENDOUS Chessplayer. He was one of the few Chessplayers who had a positive score against Fischer. You can tell by his play in this battle he had FULL Mastery of positional play.
I love this channel.... complete commentary in terms of threats, counter threats, plans of each of the players, ideas etc...... wonderful to watch and learn.....kudos
Shocking that on the 43rd move Geller missed such a tactic. When a piece is “hanging,” the one who can capture should keep in mind that when the position changes, it may be possible to capture it at that point. Many puzzles and famous games show that capturing with a pawn like that and moving it closer to promotion, especially when assisted by a knight, works quite well in many instances. Plus coupled with the fact that White’s superiority was based off of that central knight, which would be useless if it didn’t move to somewhere to attack, truly surprises me. Of course, when your position is so strong and you have an easy, logical plan to employ, and your opponent is under pressure, it’s easy to continue as you were. This reminds me of the 10th game of the Botvinnik-Bronstein match as excellently covered on this channel, with Botvinnik not breaking through but instead sticking with another plan of pressuring his opponent’s weak king. I highly recommend both the game and match to any newcomers. Good day
