I think it was nine or ten, to be precise. Yasser Seirawan tells a story about speaking to Lev, and recalls him saying that he'd beaten Rashid those nine or ten games, but he would trade all of them for the one game that he lost. I can't say I blame him! This game is an absolute beaut', and one of my all-time favourites. :)
One of the most beautiful queen sacrifices on record. How Nezhmetdinov managed to see all that when he played the stunning 24 .. Rxf4!! is just beyond me. Also, foreseeing 26 .. Bg7! needs some Picasso-level imagination.
Beautiful checkmate by Rashid. A very good queen sacrifice and an another good lesson from Rashid. A very interesting video from agadmator. Thank you :)
Ah, the great Nezhmetdinov - the only player in recent history who could give Mikhail Tal a run for his money for producing sheer brilliancy on the board. This game was a beaut!
These chess videos are so instructive and you explain things very well. I'm glad you put that donation link here. Your videos are well worth a good donation for what you have taught me. Thank you!
This is really good for showing how forcing your opponent to make decisions is powerful. White had to make a choice between 2/3 moves most turns, one of which wins or is drawing and the rest are at least moderately bad and piling up those gradually can lead to a crushing position like these. Brilliant!
Poor guy never really even had a chance to get any offense in. What a masterpiece, truly amazing how he thinks of these moves that are so far outside of the box. Very similar to Tal in that way.
this is by far the most satisfying checkmate ever , I'm so glad he didnt resign the game earlier, that king walk is just like magic and he couldnt do anything about ...
When i see the tal's game, it is very and always beautiful move and game for tal. Magical. But when tal vs nezhmetdinov, tal's move it's just normal and cannot see a magic. What a brilliant game by super nezh !
I love finding out how or why chess players get their names. I don't think he move a single piece in "reverse." so ruthless. I also absolutely adore this quote in the video.
These kinds of games are why I love chess! I try to play in a similar style, but nowhere near as well as Rashid (after all, who does?). I don't think I'd ever heard of him until I started watching your vids, and I love you for showing him to me! I thought Alekhine and Tal were truly the greatest, but I have to add Nezhmetdinov to that list.
This is one of the most beautiful games of the probably best attacking player who has ever lived. If Nezhmetdinov was a more consistent player too he would have been a GM but his play, apart from games like this one where Polugaevsky couldn't escape the attack, didn't allow him to win important games. The fact that Tal and N. worked together when Tal prepared for the title match against Botvinnik shows Tal's appreciation - and that's indeed remarkable and highly unusual because N. was "only" an IM. That makes him at least the best IM ever. @ agadmator: Do you know by chance which GM norm N. couldn't achieve?
A year late but it wasn’t because his play was inconsistent, he played at the grandmaster level but during his time there were very few opportunities in the Soviet Union to achieve GM norms, and Nezhmetdinov was not allowed to leave the country.
I love the pure one track mind, move forward, always attacking. love this way of playing. the onlly way. only this way do you have to be mentally on your toes, can be no mistakes, relentless in puttting pressure on your rival. just great thinking of the master at this point. love this game, respect it much. must imply this to my personal game as well.
A neighbor sees Agad playing against his dog and comments: "Wow, what a smart dog. He can play chess!!" Agad: "He's not that smart. I'm leading him 5 : 4".
An absolute beauty, deserves to be an eternal flame in the Chess history. Nevertheless, what always does surprise, how some "stockfish experts" dare to criticize or even express deficiency about a masterpiece like this one, not understanding the time and not having in mind the past and reality, when instead of keyboard and PC, the power of creation came into being just from a piece of paper and inspiration. (+agadmator - Thank you very much for your choice and uploading.)
Nezhmitdinov is so underrated...I know all the chess enthusiasts know who he is, but he's not regarded as mythically as Petrosian or Tal (my other two favorite players of all time), certainly not like Karpov or Kasparov. But he is just as captivating in his positional and tactical play as all of those players
Of course there are lots of videos on this same game and still we love to go through it. I would love if your videos are a bit longer and have deeper analysis. Such games do deserve an in-depth analysis.
@agadmator, lovely commentary on a stunningly beautiful game. But what surprised me - watching this on 10th April 2021and then reading through the comments - was just how many people made comment at the capture of Rashid's C5 pawn at about 6:10 and 'did you make a mistake?' or 'was it legal?': in other words, people who didn't know the rules of the game of chess. It's not like en passant is a secret move or anything... 😂
heh heh I just realized you published this on my 34th birthday, I wish that I had realized it at the time. That would have been pretty awesome. Anyway, what a magnificent game. This is the guy that was never awarded the grandmaster title. But thats alright because the truth is that they didnt have a title grand enough to describe this degree of genius. Sure, he may have had some bad results over his career but whats the difference, it doesnt take away from this level of stunning chess magic.
That was Crazy White was left with all those pieces still on the board just goes to show quantity not always going to best quality vicious attack Well done offense on all cylinders
It's a special rule called "En Passent" which is French for "in passing". Since Pawns on the starting row or in chess is called rank (2nd for White, and 7th for Black) can move two spaces it allows a pawn to capture as if it only moved one. i.e. if the c7 pawn only moved to c6 then it could be captured normally dxc6. Since it moved two spaces there is a special rule so you can't escape capture by a pawn. this happens when white pawns on are on the 5th rank, or Black pawns are on the 4th rank and a pawn in an adjacent Column or in chess called Files moves two ranks on a move
@@jamesknapp64 thanks bro for explaining this. Those who still don't get the "En Passent" rule, here is a quick graphic explanation: ruclips.net/video/bJtfOjqy07Y/видео.html
5:30 isn't c5+ that move? King can't capture, all 3rd rank is blocked by rook, what am I missing? EDIT: OK, I've put it into engine and it reminded me about dxe6 ep. :P
You know, if my opponent were to put me in such a beautiful forced checkmate, I think I would appreciate the game enough to not resign, and just play out the position to eventual checkmate.

hahahahaahahahah

Hahahjajajahah plata oh plomo
Rashid played for both white and black. White moved according to Rashid.
Jaga Deesh HAHAHAAH ikr
What a strong comment
This is also the strongest comment according to top chess engines.
5:02 LOL Rashid forced white to capture his queen... You really will never hear this commentary in today's chess anymore
Carlsen retained the World Championship last year against Karjakin with a queen sac...
ファヒム M_ because no one today plays so bad as white did here in the opening.
In part that's unfortunate.
I'll like to see a mistake once in a while, so I could see this happening.
Others offer their queen. Rashid forces you to capture his 😁
@@omkarparopkari that's not true. I play much worse.
Polugaevsky used to complain: "I have won a zillion games against Nezhmetdinov, but people have never seen them. They only know that one"
+gabisubis True story :)
I think it was nine or ten, to be precise. Yasser Seirawan tells a story about speaking to Lev, and recalls him saying that he'd beaten Rashid those nine or ten games, but he would trade all of them for the one game that he lost. I can't say I blame him! This game is an absolute beaut', and one of my all-time favourites. :)
"Polugaevsky realized that his king is probably going for a very long walk" - agadmator 6:05
Some say walking is healthy and prolongs your life.

I could watch this one a 1000 times and still enjoy the magic!
Pasha Pasovski Two years later I’m watching it yet again♟👍🏻
One of the most beautiful queen sacrifices on record. How Nezhmetdinov managed to see all that when he played the stunning 24 .. Rxf4!! is just beyond me. Also, foreseeing 26 .. Bg7! needs some Picasso-level imagination.
He was genius exlorer
He was extremely imaginative, and that’s an understatement.
Picasso level? Picasso couldn't even reach 1500 if he ever played chess. He just did a shitty art and a number of famous shitty men worship his art.
He probably saw all the combinations when he played 22. Bxd5 23. cxd5 Nb4 24. Rh1 Rxf4!! The computer gave this move brilliant which is not suprising!
Holy shit that was so forcing. Eagle eye.
exactly!
You mean that movie?
I love how Rashid always extracts the King from the back lines of the enemy defense, His play style is just wonderful.
My all time favorite player! He totally controlling the moves from early on is mind blowing. Chess has lost a lot since those times.
Beautiful checkmate by Rashid. A very good queen sacrifice and an another good lesson from Rashid. A very interesting video from agadmator. Thank you :)

*Request!* Can you please re-do all Nev videos in a series ... he is one of my all-time favourite players!!!
The level of perfection, and dominance, in this game is the highest I have ever seen. So perfect it feels almost like a manufactured/fake game.
this game should be declared as a game of the century ...really great video thank you so much! :)
Check out Nezhmetdinov's game against Chernikov. That is a game of the millennium :)

Rashid was a beast

Seeing Nezhmetdinov kick ass and with agad's beautiful commentary is hilarious and enjoyable.
One of the greatest adventures in chess. And he was brilliant v Tal at Baku in 61.
One of the most controlling games I've ever seen. Black was in complete control from early in the mid game. Amazing stuff.
What a beauty by Mr. Rashid ..thanks for the upload agadmator.
Lots of love and respect from Bangladesh .
This is the craziest game I have seen. Masterclass
The king wasn't walking, he was running
One of my favourite all-time players!
Good luck. Your videos are becoming good. Good luck. Please tell us more rashid nezhmadtinov games

“I think this is the most beautiful game of all I have played.”
Alex Pishkin quoting Rashid in “Super Nezh”
Man, I'm kinda digging this Rashi guy. He's my new hero. He's bold like Fischer with the wits of Mikhal Tal. I am enjoying those games brother.
Nezhmetdinov has a style whose beauty simply cannot be described.
When i see the tal's game, it is very and always beautiful move and game for tal. Magical.
But when tal vs nezhmetdinov, tal's move it's just normal and cannot see a magic. What a brilliant game by super nezh !
Alternative endings could be also Nc5# or Rb6#. Very good video. Favourite super-Nezh game.
Thank you for your Channel and game of l Nezhmetdinov
I dont know anything about chess. But this was sick dude. Keep on the good work! Love it!
I love finding out how or why chess players get their names. I don't think he move a single piece in "reverse." so ruthless.
I also absolutely adore this quote in the video.
Bishop b7 is the only time he moves backwards and even that was an attacking move rather than a retreating one

this isnt a king walk, this is a king running naked
This Rashid is a poet !
Amazing chess, thanks for sharing 👍
Rashid Nezhmetdinov's style is simply cinematic! And your commentary gives it a dolby surround.
Nehz is my spirit animal in chess.
His style is so beautiful.

Wow you did really put your dog's picture above you like your audience in the stream.
Ahmed Nagy dog is rated 1400 so I heard...
I resigned after 28 moves against the dog. Walked right into a mate in 4. Good boy.
And IT was in this position that i resigned the game as there is nothing more to be done. A well played game by Agadmators dog
A neighbor sees Agad playing against his dog and comments: "Wow, what a smart dog. He can play chess!!"
Agad: "He's not that smart. I'm leading him 5 : 4".
Every move Rashid plays is the strongest move by the engine even the queen sacrifice
5:05 This ain't queen sacrifice.... this is queen's murder... damn
Brilliant play..Thank you for sharing
That was absolutely stunning. Wow.

+Zeflin Chess Thanks Zeflin :)
Great game, great video buddy !
3:13 - Rashid plays rook to f7, not f6 and that was really impressive game
dam he was equally creative and agressive as mikhail tal
He won against Tal.
An amazing game!
Wow...Agad, cover this again for the newest 1m subscribers.
What a king hike !
I like all the videos you made and hope you will make such amazing videos in future too.
Now that game was SUSPENSE FILLED FROM BEGINNING TO END. GOOD ONE AGADMATOR.🖖🏽

2:21 After f4, and Nf3+ and something like Ke2, white's position looks very delicate
What a chess engine he was 👏👏👏
So beautiful. Truly immortal
This makes my head hurt. Wow
Truly I do enjoy these..
Can you please explain the move in 06:08? How did he get Rashid's pawn?
its a move called ''en passant''

6:09 I don't get this move?
how come d5 pawn captures c5 pawn? both are placed horizontally!
It's a special rule called "En Passent" which is French for "in passing".
Since Pawns on the starting row or in chess is called rank (2nd for White, and 7th for Black) can move two spaces it allows a pawn to capture as if it only moved one.

Lev: Yeah. Like almost everybody, you only knew THAT game...
I was expecting Mikhail tal on the couch but Never mind
watching this game 5. time. Still beatiful.
No-reverse-gear Rashid only went in reverse (up board) on his last (33rd) move. Amazing game.
