Featured is a brilliant and aesthetic chess game between Boris Siff and Isaac Kashdan from New York, 1948. Out of the Nimzo-Indian Defense, Classical Variation, we reach a classic Carlsbad structure. Kashdan, famously nicknamed “The Little Capablanca” for his ability to win seemingly equal positions, shows off his tactical mastery in what’s considered his immortal chess game. After White’s 20th move, the position is piece position-wise heavily unbalanced. The finish is spectacular, a true brilliancy certainly worthy of a double exclam!!
I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
