  • Determining the best chess game ever played is a matter of subjective opinion; there can be no unanimous agreement. In this video, we examine a game which FIDE World Champion Alexander Khalifman called one of the best in chess history. This remarkable game was played between the great theoretician Isaac Boleslavsky and the sharp tactician Alexander Tolush, who was Boris Spassky's coach. The game is notable for its wild tactical battle and Boleslavsky’s deep strategic understanding of chess.

    The very good choice of variations and also your excellent usage of the english language, even though it is not your native language, allows you to convey a lot of ideas succinctly in a short video.

    Thank you for showing us this game. Boleslavsky played very well, but I have a hard time considering it a candidate for the greatest game ever given that White's play was so poor. If you looked at the game without knowing the names, you'd never guess that White was a GM-level player and that the game was played in the USSR Championship.

    I "liked" BUT "best game ever" is absurd. For that try e.g. Karpov vs Korchnoi (Dortmund 1994) in which Vik K allows former world champ Anatoly to have two queens for many moves but after > 70 moves Vik still won. "Best game" purely subjective of course. 'Chacun a son gout'

    In the final position, after Qxa7 exf4, what if Kf2 and if f3 g3? Black certainly still looks winning, but it looks like maybe the battle could be fought.

    I think best chess game is where all moves of both players are top best engine moves, I doubt it has ever happened for any game older than 20 years maybe even 10 years.

    Not that I'm such an expert, but "best game ever" is a little strong. Still, it reminded me that I don't think moves ahead, as we saw here.

    In my opinion, Boleslavsky is the most underrated chess player ever. His contributions to opening theory in the KID and the Sicilian -- the backward d pawn in both openings -- helped to revolutionize chess thinking in ways that are still apparent to this day. In OTB play, he came within a whisker of becoming the challenger to Botvinnik for the world championship in 1951, losing in the candidates' round in a playoff against Bronstein. Yet he seems to be forgotten by most players.

    The analysis destroyed a good game. The analysis is an annoying distraction. The people who watch chess games knows all these moves. No need to tell them. It makes it confusing because it is difficult to tell which moves belong to the players. 👎👎👎👎👎

      @@davidwatt7368 it’s a reality that West took chess from India-Persia and destroyed the beautiful game by changing the rules. That’s why most games end in draw and have lost charm because people have memorized the moves. There are no more any miniatures we see. Now decide by yourself.
