This was an absolutely beautiful game. Thanks for sharing, Sam! By the way, your channel has inspired me to add chapters to my videos. I love this feature!
A nice collection as always. Of course such a ranking must always remain subjective, but I do somehow regret that Kotov's legendary queen sacrifice against Averbakh (Zurich 1953) didn't make it to the Top 10 list.
If you actually do the forties, I can suggest some candidates. Tartakover Euwe, Venice 1949, Botvinnik Vidmar, Groningen 1946. Reshevsky Vascencellos, US Open 1944. Szabo Lundin Groningen 1946 Zita Bronstein Budapest Moscow Radio Match, 1946 Denker Botvinnik USA/USSR Radio Match 1945 Siff Kashdan, Manhattan Chess Club Championship, 1946 Euwe Keres match, 1940 Smyslov Reshevsky Hague Moscow 1948. Szabo Book Saltisjoebaden, 1949. The Szabo Lundin s nowhere to be found on RUclips, but it won the first Brilliancy Prize at Groningen. It is a really fine black win in The Sicilian.
Nezhmetdinov is undoubtedly one of the best chess players in history. He was boycotted by the fide. It was better than many GM's. It was quite rightly called "No Reverse Gear".
As with almost all youtubers who analyze games, I find it very hard to follow which is real game and which is your imaginary analysis. Please have a clear demarkation when you switch from and to to real game.
@@sam_copeland ~great games indeed~ Nezhmetdinov is everybody's favorite, and why not, but I remember Yasser Seirawan telling a story about Polugaevsky saying, "I'll happily give up my many wins against Nezhmetdinov for that one loss against him." 😊
This channel is severely underrated
fact
It’s my favourite.

This is a rightly famous game and you explained some of the complexities really well. Thanks Sam, a perfect choice for best of the 50s.
Loved the feedback of Nezhy, nice work Sam!

Fantastic
He was Tal's teacher :)

Nezhmadinov was a true masterpiece maker , a world champion without a crown

I sacrifice a whole queen, than I pick up the pawn on g3 ... and win the endgame ... like a boss.
And what is number 2?
It is a bit cruel for Polugaevsky that this might be his best-known game.. 😑

You had 3, Geller vs. Euwe. Now, you have #1. Where is #2?
