This is one of the most fascinating games ever played - hilarious variations, outlandish ideas, brilliant inspiration and haunting blunders. I tried to restrain laughter when faced with all these variations, but I failed miserably. As far as I can see, you are faced with the same problem! Although you manage to stay objective so often, it clearly shows that you can't resist the fascination of this game either. It's hard to believe that Trommsdorf on the hand unearths such an insane move, but on the other hand fails to acknowledge the simple truth that winning the opponent's queen is the clearest way to win. This game really must have been a rush of adrenaline for both players!
16:54 they were indeed in great time trouble and there was no increment at the time, they had stopped writing down their moves a while ago. Analog clock too.
Same thoughts at first, but when you consider the playing strength of both opponents it becomes clear that other games have left a stronger impact on the history of chess. Outer appearances may suggest that Fischer's win over Spassky in the 6th game of their World Championship match (Sam's #1 of the 70s) is comparatively boring in view of this game, but the seeming simplicity behind that crushing defeat left the chess world's mouth open in awe, whereas this game flew under the radar for decades. I'm fairly sure that almost every passionate amateur player with a certain playing strength has played a bunch of wild games that would deserve being better-known. That said, this game remains a treasure. The fact that it is somewhat flawed doesn't mar my perception. We hardly ever play perfect games (as even the strongest grandmasters will confirm), which is basically the reason why chess is such an attractive game. The Second World Champion, Dr. Emanuel Lasker, once famously claimed that there can be no brillancy without errors. No more evidence than this game is needed!
If that game was only number five on the list, I'm actually too afraid to click on the number one game for fear that my head will explode Into tiny pieces. I would say that you're underselling it by calling it merely insane, but in your defence, sometimes the appropriate available vocabulary begins to run out...
Found b3!! but everything else, from opening to end, is just so unimaginable
This is the first time I have seen this spectacular game. How have no one covered such brilliant game?
Thank you Sam for amazing content!
Levy Rozman covered it once I remember..not the whole game though
@@kingcarisma yeah it's about a year after this video. I am glad that the game gets so much exposure, because it deserves so!
Wow!!! A draw after all the chaos!!!!!!!! Stunning!!!

Brutal contraataque, gracias Sam, saludos

Wait, this is only #6 or #7? How can there even be five 1970s games better than this one?

Gotham Chess covers this game, but he didn't know who the players were. He said he just stumbled upon it in a database.
What does “on preez” mean?
cluster on white pieces vs cluster of black pieces
