Hard to believe but his “Immortal Game” Ossip Bernstein played at the age of 72. In this video I am covering that famous chess game vs Miguel Najdorf. At the time of this game Bernstein was 72 year old but he played this game in the spirit of a young attacking player. Against Old Indian Defense Bernstein manages to organize a devastating attack by sacrificing his knight and Najdorf who was at the peak of his career, fails to show a resistance. Soon White is also sacrificing his queen but Black is not accepting it. Finally by going for a rook sacrifice White forces the exchange of queens, drags his opponent in the endgame where with a piece down Black has no chance to survive. A game which won a brilliancy prize!
