Hades TV There is no disputing that in the eyes of Schlechter, Teichmann or even Rubinstein, the backward pawn was something more substantial than lively piece play, but in our day the latter is more often preferred. David Bronstein Grandmaster 1924 - 2006
“There were three things Marshall loved more than anything else: Caroline [his wife], chess and whisky, without attributing any significance to the listed order.” Jens Enevoldsen, “Verdens bedste skak” (“the world's best chess”) 1966.
A lovely classical game with plenteous fireworks galore. Conflict impasse & resolution phases are clearly defined. An energetic sparkling entertaining & instructive game.
Amazing commentary Mr Mato! Although somehow between 1:25 and 1:34 I got a little confused because it sounded like Schlechter was playing Black & Marshall had White. But I really loved the commentary, so 10/10!
Black's O-O-O seems to be the beginning of the end. A very interesting game all through. White pawn infiltrator on black queen side is really effective. Thanks Mato.
Marshall looks to have had a black-out when he didn't see Nc4 coming at move 37. What would have happened if he had taken the rook with his knight (36. ... Rxd6)?
Marshall loved tactical battles even if he occasionally lost them. Schlechter was often content with games that ended peaceably but he could also be provoked into attacking.
Schlechter could also have moved his rook instead of the knight (when Marshall resigned) and could still have won the queen.But somehow knight checks are more beautiful
If you are talking about Rb1 instead of Nc4+, then black would play his king to a7 to avoid a check and after Rxb2 he would play Re1+ and Qf1 is forced, then he plays RxQ+ followed by Rxb2 with a winning end game. However, white may still be able to win beginning with Qd4+ instead of taking the queen immediately, followed by Qa4+ forcing the black king back onto the b file (I didn't calculate the whole thing) and only then taking the queen, but that would take longer, be more complicated and harder to calculate over the board, and would be riskier due to white's weak back rank. Schlechter definitely made the right choice.
Marshall was a great cavalier, but Schlecter was a class above, & on his way to a world title till death intervened ( tiny downside, as you would say, Mr )
Wow, wow, wow, I don’t know whom I love more now, Mato or Schlechter
Good point, but it also begs the question., how come his subscribers are only 131k?

No dinner for you marshal
FJ Marshall games , winning or losing , are always intensely interesting. When playing Schlechter , as you say , the game is epic.
Amazing commentary Mr Mato! Although somehow between 1:25 and 1:34 I got a little confused because it sounded like Schlechter was playing Black & Marshall had White. But I really loved the commentary, so 10/10!
WHAT A MATCH!
Thanks, Mato!
Awesome as always
Tks

Thanks Mato.
Another awesome Schlechter game.
Marshall was known to play for chess for artistic expression. He met a kindred spirit.
Another awesome game from the Great Schlechter...
“ Marshall resigned , it’s not because the dinner was ready , he resigned because he is losing the queen , what a battle ! “
Mato .
At 6:27 the best move was pawn to b4 check, black queen is lost

'Marshall had no plan' 😀
Couldn't marshall his resources well ;)
monster knight... what a battle
👏👏👏👏👏
Last 5 or 6 white moves seem like a magic,
True
nice game
Schlechter is unfortunately forgotten.

Creating art on the board. Knight checks are aestheticly pleasing, just like a queen sacrifice.
Exactly!

Schlecter the slayer
Marshall was a great cavalier, but Schlecter was a class above, & on his way to a world title till death intervened ( tiny downside, as you would say, Mr )
what du i think of this game? very good game :)))hehe
Marshall resigned because his goose was cooked.
Dear Mato Rook to b1 also wins the queen ?
After white takes the queen his back rank would be vulnerable.
@@leslassiter6378 yes
Are there any games where Marshall wins? He always seems to come up short.
Check out Lewitzky V Marshall 1912. This game has one of the best single moves played in chess history - the last move.
Did Schlechter ever play Alekhine ?
He did. The game is on my list. Stay tuned. It is coming up soon
Yes..Schlechter beat the Great Alekhine in the game.
I found all the moves, but it seemed way too easy.
ah please Mato change the intro, some of us suffer from hearing disorders where sudden loud sounds are painful thanks.
Intro is there to get you into the learning mode so you remember the game for longer
No he resigned because his girlfriend was alone at home and calling him😅😅😅
