Nezhmetdinov was a fierce, imaginative, attacking player who beat many of the best players in the world.
Russian Championship
Nezhmetdinov got the historical record of five wins of the Russian Chess Championship, 1950, 1951, 1953, 1957 and 1958.
International Master title
FIDE awarded him the International Master title for his second-place finish behind Viktor Korchnoi at Bucharest 1954, the only time he was able to compete outside of the Soviet Union.[1] Despite his extraordinary talent, he never was able to obtain the grandmaster title. Grandmaster Yuri Averbakh, a strong positional and endgame player, suggested a possible reason for this in his interview by Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam in The Day Kasparov Quit:
Nezhmetdinov, ... if he had the attack, could kill anybody, including Tal. But my score against him was something like 8½-½ because I did not give him any possibility for an active game. In such cases he would immediately start to spoil his position because he was looking for complications.
Results against world champions
Nezhmetdinov won a number of games against world champions such as Mikhail Tal, against whom he had a lifetime plus score, and Boris Spassky. He also had success against other world-class grandmasters such as David Bronstein, Lev Polugaevsky, and Efim 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 Tigran Petrosian[2] and Viktor Korchnoi.[3]
Memorial
Kazan Chess school is currently named after Rashid Nezhmetdinov.

📚 My chess courses: kingscrusher.tv/chesscourses=1053 - Cheers, K
One of the greatest tactical, strategic, combinational, positional games I have ever witnessed! Truly remarkeable talent was Rashid! What a Queen sac, balls of titanium!
Cheers, K
Rashid calculated about 45-60mins before he played Qxf6. At first, Chernikov got off his chair and wandered around the tournament area. Later, he got tired and became impatient with Rashid. A young boy from the crowd ran and informed him that Rashid had sacrificed his queen. Once he came back and saw what Rashid played, he never left his seat again.
did you just make that up ?
last shadow that's what had happened
no he didn't. that is exactly what happened according to Chernikov
The position before the sac was known, and it was thought to lead to a draw. Chernikov fancied he would secure the draw against a tired Nezmehtinov, and go about drinking his vodka. However, apparently some 40 minutes went by before Nezmeht unleashed the shocker!! The rest is history.
Cheers, K
Awesome game and a brilliant coach Tal. Thank you KC
Cheers, K
Chernikov was a strong player and he knew that variation, which led to a draw, which is what he wanted. Nobody had had the balls to sac the queen like that, until this game.

He was referring to both the queen and the pawn as 10 units together.
This is my favorite chess game of all time. Thanks so much for doing commentary on it!

One of my all time favorite games! Totally into the commentry as well. Great job as always.
Cheers, K
Good idea, but the implementation misses a detail - black has Be2-h5 here, and black seems to have a clear advantage according to Rybka:
r2q4/pp3p1k/3pr1p1/7b/4P3/1BB4R/PPP2PPP/5RK1 w - - 0 1
1. -/+ (-0.80): 24.Bxe6 fxe6 25.g4 Qg5 26.Rg3 Bxg4 27.h3 Qc5 28.hxg4 e5 29.b4 Qc6
2. -/+ (-1.36): 24.f3 Re8 25.g4 Qd7 26.Rg3 Rg8 27.Rd1 Rac8 28.Bd5
3. -+ (-1.45): 24.g4 Rxe4 25.gxh5 Rg4+ 26.Kh1 Qd7 27.hxg6+ Kxg6 28.Bd5 Re8 29.Rd3 Qc7 30.Bf3
I am not very good at chess, but I used to play it with my grandma and it is very interesting. I do not know how I got to this video, but I am glad to see that there are so many people who care about chess, and that it is getting the respect and attention it deserves.
Cheers, K
Astounding! I had never seen this game before. Thank you for posting.
Cheers, K
Enjoyed it. Thanks for posting!
Cheers, K
well... There is no final answer to that question. Just like gold isn't worth anything when you are thirsty in the desert - the queen isn't worth anything if you are facing a mate. Modern computer programs use fluctuating piece values - as do all serious or semi-serious human players. It all depends on the position. To say that the queen is worth 9 or 10 units is merely a guideline.
Unbelievable, the way he valuates position. He understood chess allright!
Cheers, K
Seriously though, great game and nice analysis video - thanks! :)
Cheers, K
brilliant and scintillating, hands down, you have the best chess videos in you tube. excellent commentary and brilliant games. look forward to the next videos. A series of Anand vids please? Perhaps from his younger and formative years....just a request and I would be honored if u could please oblige.
Cheers, K
Awesome vid, man!
Cheers, K
I have done some Tal games. I have created a "play list" for you to check out. If you have any favourite Tal games that are missing from that list, then please let me know and I might video-annotate them.
brilliant, a real crowdpleaser. Comes as no surprise that he worked with Tal. Awesome playing style.
Cheers, K
One of the best games I've seen.
Cheers, K
Forgot to say awesome video^^ thanks
Cheers, K
Unbelievable !
Cheers, K
Thanks - I have added an Anand Playlist now to my youtube profile page.
What a game. Thanks.
Cheers, K
One of my all time favorite games!
Cheers, K
That was astonishing how much material he was down and still won.
Cheers, K
9:08 Saw that coming :) What an insane game!
what a game! thanks for that
Cheers, K
This game is unbelievable!!
Cheers, K
Fantastic game. You find many interesting things...
Cheers, K
thank you sir
Sensational, thanks.
Cheers, K
Absolutely brilliant! I can't understand how he could see the whole theme at the point of queen sacrifice. A lot of things could've gone wrong. I'm just a casual internet chess player but always have admiration for people who can think this deep. Can you teach that?? ....:))
Cheers, K
that was bloody incredible
Cheers, K
This reminds me of the Game of the Century when the young Fischer decided he wouldn't need his queen to completely obliterate his grand master opponent, Donald Byrne. Altough that was a more tactical sacrifice. What Nezhmetdinov did here is absolutely incredible. I like sacrifices a lot, but I wouldn't have even considered Qxf6 in that position.
Well interestingly Bobby played this line in a blitz as white with the queen sac 4 years before Nezhmetdinov :) www.kingpinchess.net/2014/10/ron-harman-1938-2014-a-champion-of-the-chess-club/
Fantastic vid
Cheers, K
I did some analysis on this game, trying to find out if the queen sac was really sound. My computer thinks that black is better on move 12 and that white is better after move 18 - so I tried to find decent alternatives for black between 12 and 18 - without finding anything that was really convincing - so my current assement is that yes - it is sound :) - but there is still a lot of ground I haven't looked at yet.
Damn I love this game, it's SO beautiful!
Cheers, K
Beautiful!
Cheers, K
Interesting, thank you.
Cheers, K
A new positional sac game is in the reply of this video now :)
@kingscrusher :just after the queen sac, I wd like to know if black could have still won? if yes how?
Can I ask a question - After Whites Queen sac, is Nxb3 any good for Black. I havn't analysed this on a computer, its just a quick idea to remove White's powerful Bishop on b3.
Cheers, K
nothing short of brilliant!!! :D
This is a truly inspiring game :D
Cheers, K
What an absolutely fantastic game! If only my mad sacrifices would work out like this ;-)
Cheers, K
What a crazy game!
Cheers, K
just brilliant....brilliant.
Cheers, K
Incredible every time i view it i gain in perceptive strength!!!
Cheers, K
Incredible game!!
Cheers, K
never seen a triple fork like that before in a game
Cheers, K
I was intrigued to hear the Q as worth 10 rather than 9. clearly both humans and puters need to ascribe value to things like the bishop pair but I expect puters add them dynamically without altering basic values. .The already strong chessmaster 9000 uses tweakable values and allows different settings for the two sides but the Q defaults at 9 and the implication is that they are not directly altered while running. One can still see programs report value to drawn positions.
Cheers, K
I see! thanks for replying!
after the knight takes on h7 and if king takes knight then easy rook a3 followed by rook h8 is mate right? why complicate with that wariation of rook takes f7?
Because bishop can block after Ra3
@xEric1993 It still loses a rook because both black's rooks are under attack. Not only that but the position is lost anyway because of the weakness of Blacks' pawns. They can be easily picked off. In the Kg7 line White has a rook and a piece vs a rook. Black went for the probably better line of rook vs knight and bishop.
I can't see how it would be easy for the black King to escape to the queenside at any time, and also the ending is winning for White for an experienced Grandmaster, which is why Black resigned at this point.
wow! what a game!
Cheers, K
I think queen sarcrifice should be done with a caution and only expierenced players should be doing so.I myself don't sarcrifice pieces unless I am sure it will bring good results few things:
1)Why black king couldn't escape to the queenside? There I didn't see an immediate pressure.
2) Though black has been left with rook and white with knight and bishop how black is winning? Black can try to force a draw with one rook.
Thanks, anyway, for your video. Eduard.
Who would've thought that this could be achieved right after the queen sacrifice! Only because of the g6 pawn like you said.. Better watch it when you Fianchetto ^^'
Cheers, K
Not to even try to 'take away' anything from Nezhmetdinov's brilliant achievement here, but I'm pretty sure that he should have played 28. Bxe5 ... before playing 29. Bxf7 ... and completing his combination. This would have left him a full Knight up, 'after the dust settled', and I can't see any way for Black to use this 'intermezzo' move to 'wiggle out'. Am I missing something?
I'm sure you could beat Nezhmetdinov.
jqbtube If 28. Bxe5 dxe5 29.Bxf7+ Kg7 30. Ne6+... and 32. Nxd8.
Rh8+ kh8 Bxe5+? Kf8 nxf7 kxf7 and white keeps Queen
Rook to H8+ was brutal!
Cheers, K
gr8 game not just because of a great queen sac by white. but black hung on and fought real hard and tried best. not goin for easy offerings. this was a perfect match up!
Cheers, K
wow amazing
Cheers, K
If Kg7 @ 9:32, black does not need to take the queen right away. Black can play Bxe5+. The king can't move and blocking would make things worse, so black plays dxe5 and now white can take the queen. Either way, black is losing a rook and the queen. Rybka however does prefer Rxd8 right away after Kg7 and gives an advantage for white in both variations.
Cheers, K
so sick.........
Cheers, K
Did he saw all those combinations near the end of the game at the time of that sac, or did he sac-ed his queen for positional advantage only!!!
Cheers, K
Guys, when is playing bb3 a good idea, sometimes i play it and computers rate it very low, any tips?
If Kg7 then Bxe5 check. After dxe5 then Rxd8 and now white has a rook and knight vs rook game, which is better than what white had after Kxh8 (bishop and knight vs rook)
Sorry that reply is to jqbtube
damnit James!
Q x f6 !!
Wonderful !
Nezh a réfléchit presque une heure sur ce coups; je préfère cette partie à celle gagnée contre Polugayevski, si souventt montrée...
Cheers, K
A fork at the end of a game, wow, usually it's bishops time.
Cheers, K
I don't know if you've seen the Nezhmetdinov chess biography put together by JessicaFischerQueen at /watch?v=T_Io7jbHsYs&feature=relmfu but this game is reviewed in the opening minutes of that video. It's definitely worth a watch and I loved watching your video about this game having already watched the documentary a few months back. Great history and great chess. Thanks for the great commentaries KC.
Cheers, K
My last was a reply to Edmalikin.
diobono! (holy crap!)
Cheers, K
I guess as a trainer you learn to cast a wide net ;)
Cheers, K
Tal's trainer! That explains it
Cheers, K
bast game ever
Cheers, K
king taking knight on H7 just leads to mate doesn't it? After KxH7, RH3 then RH8.
Cheers, K
very nice game according to rybka
Cheers, K
why would black take on h8 at 9:32?
why not play King to g7??
White would obviously follow up with RxD8 .
Black still loses the queen but it's better than losing a queen and rook!
Cheers, K
haha that was unbelievable!!!
Cheers, K
just rashid can play like this,nobody like him
after Nxh7, if Kxh7 can't white force mate with Rh3 Kg8 Rh8#
Cheers, K
black should of rushed white b4 he had time to recover from the queen sac
isn't the queen worth 9 not 10?
Forgott what i wrote :)
i thought a queen was 9 points?
Bh5
I guess white was not in the mood for a draw and decided to play a masterpiece.
Cheers, K
ive d ownvoted ur comment since it doesnt make sense. u are now at -1.
Maybe it was a blunder lol
Cheers, K
BLACK CANNOT PLAY CHESS
All the highlights and arrows make his videos unwatchable. I know he thinks he's cool or something because of it but it's very annoying. I can figure it out without all that I'm not stupid
