    Nezhmetdinov won a number of games against world champions such as Tal, against whom he had a lifetime plus score, and Spassky. He also had success against other world-class grandmasters such as Bronstein, Polugaevsky, and Geller. He achieved a plus score in the 20 games he contested against World Champions. But in addition to his aforementioned dismal score against Averbakh, he could only score +0−3=2 each against excellent defenders Petrosian and Korchnoi.

      BlueBoy5ine. It has happened to me and my brother(both have Honor phones) a couple of times that I was talking about something and then in less than a half hour a video of the spoken topic appears on my recommendations. For example one time my brother asked me if I had seen Forrest Gump. I said no and he told me a little bit about it. The next time I went to youtube with my phone there was a video about Forrest Gump in my recommendations. And I have never watched anything relating to it nor have I even searched it in google. Then the same thing happened to my brother after I told him that flat earthers exist. He said yes but wasn't really interested. Ten minutes later he checked his youtube recommendations and what do you know. A video recommendation about flat earthers.

They told him that he has just 24 hours to live. So at the breakfast, he ordered a huge bucket of chicken wings. Enjoyed every bit of it. And went out for a walk in the park and told me how beautiful the trees and flowers and bees. He spent some time writing his will and after that he had the last dinner with his family. And then checked his watch and sait "well, it is about time." So he googled "queen sacrifice Nezhmetdinov vs Chernikov" and spent his last 8 minutes of his life in peace. He had barely enough time to write the comment above.

    It was hard to get GM title in Communist Russia even after Stalin died (Impossible when he lived) because FIDE was giving the titles for international games and it was hard to leave Russia.
    From wikipedia:
    "I played my first tournament after my marriage in Sochi. This was the Russian SFSR championship, and it was won by Nezhmetdinov, one of the strongest Soviet masters. For some reason, he was very rarely allowed to go abroad, and obviously, he never became a grandmaster because of that." - Korchnoi
    "I came to chess too late, as a 17-year-old man with no theoretical knowledge, whereas all the champions - Botvinnik, Smyslov, Spassky, Petrosian and Tal received training from the age of seven or eight….Yes, I could play some games with brilliance, and win prizes for beauty, but I was never able to achieve the holistic skills necessary for Grandmaster level” - Nezhmetdinov
    Let us also consider the other Soviet Players who became GMs around the time Rashid should have become one.
    1954 - No player.
    1955 - One player, Boris Spassky. He won the youth world chess championship and qualified for the Interzonal, where he got his grandmaster's norm. Boris was very lucky. The world championship in Antwerp ended on 8th August, and the Interzonal, which, luckily, was held in Gothenburg, began in a week - on 15th August. And Spassky got there in time, which, considering the Soviet bureaucracy of the time, was quite a feat.
    1956 - One player, Viktor Korchnoi, by accumulated results.
    1957 - One player, Mikhail Tal. He won the Soviet championship that year.
    In 1958 and 1959, no Soviet players became grandmasters.
    Therefore, in six years, from 1954 to 1959, only three Soviet players became grandmasters: Spassky, Tal and Korchnoi. How was Nezhmetdinov supposed to become a grandmaster if he never played in a tournament with grandmaster norms?

    I think this game highlights the emotional side of chess. The sacrifice arguably didn't give a better position, most would agree that at best it was even. But the move was so aggressive that it shocked the opponent into making mistakes that were capitalized on. It was the mental fortitude that won the game.

    • @gerryportuguezjr.652
      @gerryportuguezjr.652 5 лет назад +8

      ". . . and then I made my move, bf6. I then see Nezhy go in a deep think. Thinking that he maybe contemplating whether he should accept the "drawn" game, I then left the table to take a short walk and check the other ongoing games. In the middle of my stroll, I felt someone tugging at my left sleeve. I turned to look around to see a little brown-haired boy with blue eyes, looking like a living bundle of energy. I asked, "What's the matter, young lad?" He then pointed at my and Rashid's table, saying "Mister, your opponent sac'ed his queen." Without me realizing, my pupils shrank instantaneously and proceeded to nearly dash to our table. Looking at the current state of the board, I see Rashid's queen has replaced my dark square bishop on f6. I continued to look at it in astonishment and disbelief before I was shaken out of my trance by Nezhy's stare, as if awaiting my reply to his move. I then took my seat to continue our chess match and break the abrupt awkward atmosphere. Little did I know what was bound to happen in the next few moments would be something I would both be troubled and awed to experience."

    Merci for this. My daughter asked me about chess when Queen's Gambit came out. I watched it and it was a great representation of a great game and culture.
