    I thank you Mato for introducing me to Rashid Nezhmetdinov. This guy just wrote poems on the chessboard.

    Watching a game like this makes me think again and again that chess is beyond calculations and learning the theory, it's a "fluid art" with lots of "unknown unknowns" waiting in the dark corner to later be unlocked by human bold creativity. What a game indeed.

    • @abdomohamed-mu2ox
      @abdomohamed-mu2ox 8 лет назад +6

      powerful chess engines can beat any human now. so i'm guessing it's more about calculations and exploiting opponent mistakes

      abdo mohamed
      The mere fact of computational Supremacy that today's computers have over human beings and its manifestation in a game like chess does not reduce the inherent art and beauty that lies in this marvelous mind game just the way that the same computers still do not trivialize the art and Beauty in mathematics numbers and calculations.

    • @abdomohamed-mu2ox
      @abdomohamed-mu2ox 8 лет назад +1

      +A. M. Goudarzi didn't say it wasn't a field for art and artists, but I say a calculator would beat an artist :D

    • @quantummath
      @quantummath 8 лет назад +1

      That's true, in the battle of calculator-vs-artist type of chess playing, it's the machine that prevails.

    • @DickNiaz26
      @DickNiaz26 8 лет назад +4

      1) SOME parts of chess are beyond TODAY'S calculations and theory. However as time goes on, computational algorithms will continue improve.
      2) You're also assuming a false dichotomy between artists and quantitative problem solvers when it's possible for both to rely on some degree of (what most of us perceive as) "intuition".

    This game is a Legend! Rashid Nezhmetdinov was phenomenal and one of the greatest attacker player of all time. He had a positive score against the Great Mikhail Tal!!! Thanks Mato to have posted one of the beautiful pages in chess history!

  • @santipratespelt3501
    @santipratespelt3501 10 лет назад +7

    No doubt, one of the best attackers ever. Rashid Nezhmetdinov is pure spectacle! One of my five favourite chessplayers.

  • @fscii71
    @fscii71 7 лет назад +2

    What a game. Nobody ever will remember a 2800 "playing not to lose" game but the games like this with queen sacs and go for broke attacks, will always live on.

  • @brooksiefan
    @brooksiefan 8 лет назад +1

    Artistic playing. It is great to see how Mato resists the general tendency to over commenting. Everything is clear and to the point, he doesn't stand in the way and the game shines by its own virtues.

    Wonderful game, wonderful commentary. Watching this is as enjoyable, if not more enjoyable than watching a battle in a good movie or playing a real time strategy game. Powerful attack, defence, flight and then devastating assault by Nezhmetdinov. Simply amazing.

    Hi Mato, great video and exciting commentry. What a match. Lesser players would crumble under the loss of their queen, but this shows how you can gain tempo from it, with a daring attack.

      @MrSupernova111 6 лет назад

      You can run the game on stockfish. Each player had 4 mistakes but the losing move for white was a blunder after the black queen was captured. Regardless, this game is insanely complicated and I bet lots of GMs would lose in white's position after the queen sac.
