This game was played in the penultimate round of 6th Dubai Open (2004). At the time of this game Carlsen was 13 years old and he needed only one draw from his last 2 games to become the world's youngest Grandmaster. In the game Carlsen's opponent Belaruisan Grandmaster Alexei Fedorov chooses double edged King's gambit but the young prodigy plays the game accurately and manages to draw! https://www.youtube.com/embed/bp7c9OrASl4 313 2018-06-17T14:30:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/chess-puzzle-easy-for-humans-impossible-for-computers-3/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/3sjz-Ai06nI.jpg Chess Puzzle: Easy For Humans, Impossible For Computers #3 Joseph Hashek, 1951, White to draw This position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN) is : 8/6pb/q7/kp5R/p1p1p1p1/PPPpP1Pp/3P3P/R2K4 w - - 0 1 Video Icon Attribution: By Brittany.lee2 (Own work) [CC BY-SA 4.0 ( via Wikimedia Commons https://www.youtube.com/embed/3sjz-Ai06nI 303 2018-06-18T14:30:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/hahaha-kasparovs-opponent-decided-to-checkmate-him-in-4/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/XEr19xMDa1Y.jpg Hahaha!

Nakamura Is Fighting vs. 7 Knights On 17 Jun 2018 during a groundbreaking man-vs-machine chess event Hikaru Nakamura played all 20 levels of Komodo available on Chess.com followed by three odds-chess games, and scored 20.5-2.5 in total. In the last game which is now known as "The Knightmare" Komodo was White and all of its pieces were replaced with knights, while Black's knights were removed. This was a true challenge for Hikaru Nakamura but luckily that "knightmare" ended up peacefully for Nakamura and his king was saved from the mating net! https://www.youtube.com/embed/nAhp3c2vjAM 371 2018-06-21T14:00:04+00:00 https://chessterra.com/super-computer-got-mated-in-the-most-brutal-style/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/I-inVkC9Veo.jpg Super Computer Got Mated In The Most Brutal Style Steinbach vs Chess Champion Super System 3 (Computer) Casual game (1982), Germany Elephant Gambit: General (C40) 1. e4 e5 2.

He missed out on becoming the youngest ever by three months with Sergey Karjakin of Ukraine holding the record of being the youngest Grandmaster in the world at 12 years, 7 months – a feat achieved in 2002. By beating Moroni Luca Jr in the eighth round, Pragnnandhaa needed to play an opponent above of rating of 2482 in the final round to make his third norm. Luck shone on him when he was paired with GM Prujjsers Roeland, rated 2514, which made it possible. Here is the above mentioned game from round 8. https://www.youtube.com/embed/A8ZIfXUffhE 339 2018-06-24T14:30:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-single-pawn-against-the-whole-army/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/wrGM10hLgrE.jpg A Single Pawn Against The Whole Army The Chess Amateur 09/1922 This position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN) is : 8/1P6/3n4/8/6K1/1p6/1ppp1ppk/nrqrbrrb w - - 0 0 Analysis by Suren Aghabekyan https://www.youtube.com/embed/wrGM10hLgrE 181 2018-06-25T14:32:21+00:00 https://chessterra.com/karpov-variation-against-karpov-himself-is-it-a-good-idea/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gvEJMB0ZJHo.jpg Karpov Variation Against Karpov Himself! Is It A Good Idea? This game which was played between Anatoly Karpov and Vlastimil Hort has an interesting prologue. In the 1970 Championship of the Russian Republich the same position (after 10 moves) was reached in Karpov's game with talented grandmaster Alexander Zaitsev. There it was only with considerable trouble that Karpov managed to win. At one point Karpov's king even advanced along the route e1-e2-e3-e4, and that with queens on the board! However, seven years later everything took place without any unnecessary anxiety. https://www.youtube.com/embed/gvEJMB0ZJHo 317 2018-06-26T04:00:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-most-fierce-attacker-faces-the-most-solid-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/JnRffEeBFOw.jpg The Most Fierce Attacker Faces The Most Solid Defense Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov vs Maximilian Ujtelky Chigorin Memorial (1964), Sochi URS, rd 1 Formation: Hippopotamus (A00) 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3.

Nakamura “Attempts” Scholar’s Mate Against A Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura is a player who can always surprise his opponent with a rare and unorthodox opening. In this game Nakamura's opponent was Anton Filippov and Nakamura went for unorthodox Danver's opening. An opening which can be seen rarely at the top level. But though the early queen development violates conventional opening principles Nakamura got a pretty dangerous attack.

It is usually assumed that the game was played in Berlin, where Dufresne was resident and Anderssen was a frequent visitor, but no details of the circumstances of the game were provided in the original publication in the September and October 1852 issues of Deutsche Schachzeitung. The game starts with a sharp Evans Gambit - one of the most popular openings of the day. Dufresne chooses a somewhat offbeat sideline, losing a little time while Anderssen achieves a powerfully centralized position, and while Black tries to generate play on the flanks, White wrenches attention back to Black's king. In the end Anderssen pulls out a brilliant combination and a checkmate "appears" on the board after a spectacular queen sacrifice! https://www.youtube.com/embed/44kJNb_yvcE 444 2018-07-08T15:30:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/no-more-queen-sacrifices-mikhail-tal-is-hiding-his-queen/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/I7RAHp2W4zM.jpg No More Queen Sacrifices!

Though in the opening with an impressive tactical shot Mikhail Tal managed to win a piece but things started to get complicated very soon and at some point Tal found himself an exchange and a pawn down. Luckily everything was under control and that was the result of Tal's deep calculations and already and that point the game was winning for black! https://www.youtube.com/embed/rq21GYU7JpA 424 2018-07-31T16:00:05+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-most-fierce-attacker-goes-for-a-deadly-fork/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/xJbOGWlFs_s.jpg The Most Fierce Attacker Goes For A Deadly Fork Nezhmetdinov vs. Aronin: An Uncompromised Battle In The Sicilian Defense In this video which I uploaded on my chess channel, I analyzed a game played by an eminent Soviet chess player Rashid Nezhmetdinov against Soviet International Chess Master Lev Aronin. In the uncompromised battle in the Sicilian defense Nezhmetdinov managed to use the vulnerability of the h-file and a1-h8 diagonal and finally with an impressive rook sacrifice forces his opponent to throw in the towel! https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJbOGWlFs_s 445 2018-08-01T16:30:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/no-way-with-his-second-move-carlsen-surprises-the-chess-world/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/b4U6wUV_dHI.jpg No Way!

One Of The Most Beautiful Checkmates Ever! Underpromtions can be seen in chess puzzles very often, but in real games rarely!

And in our days with the help of powerful chess engines it's possible to eradicate those mistakes and refute the well known chess puzzles. In this video you can see a nice line suggested by Stockfish 10 which Alexey Troitsky overlooked! Not really a refutation, but this is somewhat spoiling the beauty of the underpromotion! https://www.youtube.com/embed/PKHb3t1pq6k 282 2018-12-03T04:00:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/good-knight-a-horse-a-horse-my-kingdom-for-a-horse/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/B_vUXwNxMj4.jpg Good knight! A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse! Here is a beautiful chess puzzle composed by Soviet chess composer Vladimir Korolkov. Taking into consideration the fact that black is threatening to promote the pawn to a knight and then checkmate white king, white is choosing a forced line and is going for three underpromotions. Attacked from all sides by white knights black king is getting checkmated!

In this video you can see how Stockfish 10 is finding a brilliant defensive resource for black after which black is nearly equalizing the game! https://www.youtube.com/embed/UPLYFnw22uo 271 2018-12-04T18:28:28+00:00 https://chessterra.com/this-is-magnus-carlsens-best-castling-ever/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/NJ-PiUvwjMM.jpg This Is Magnus Carlsen’s Best Castling Ever This Is Magnus Carlsen's Best Castling Ever In the era of boring draws blindfold chess is something which is still keeping the tension and is raising a huge interest!

This is a fascinating chess game played between Serbian and American chess players at World Championship Under 26! In one of the sharpest variations of the Sicilian defense things are getting out of the hand very quickly and it's there when the sacrifices are appearing on the board! The queen sacrifice followed by an epic underpromotion to a knight are moves which can be never forgotten! https://www.youtube.com/embed/oPmERLEw2rs 394 2018-12-06T16:58:37+00:00 https://chessterra.com/alphazero-is-back-with-a-brilliant-king-walk-vs-stockfish-8/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/auSqLqJLqgY.jpg AlphaZero Is Back With A Brilliant King Walk vs Stockfish 8 AlphaZero Is Back With A Brilliant King Walk vs Stockfish 8 In newly released games of DeepMind the updated AlphaZero crushes Stockfish 8 in a 1,000-game match, scoring +155 -6 =839. This video covers one of the games from that encounter where with a carefully prepared attack AlphaZero breaks apart Stocfkish's defense by going for an exchange sacrifice and then for a long and daring king walk!

This video covers one of the few games which Stockfish 8 won, but unlike the other games of that encounter, which were full of long maneuvers and strategical ideas, this one is a direct attacking game, where with a bunch of sacrifices Stockfish 8 just crushes AlphaZero by choosing the Alekhine-Chatard Attack against French defense: https://www.youtube.com/embed/7JgR4iPeyxQ 461 2018-12-07T17:13:34+00:00 https://chessterra.com/alphazero-goes-for-double-exchange-sacrifice-in-the-style-of-iron-tigran/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/brZCHRaqHeA.jpg AlphaZero Goes For “Double” Exchange Sacrifice In The Style Of “Iron Tigran” AlphaZero Goes For "Double" Exchange Sacrifice In The Style Of "Iron Tigran" In newly released games of DeepMind the updated AlphaZero crushes Stockfish 8 in a 1,000-game match, scoring +155 -6 =839. In this game as usual AlphaZero is choosing English opening, soon is locking up the left half of the board and is starting to concentrate his pieces on the kingside. During those maneuvers Stockfish 8 fails to develop a proper strategical idea and once holding a strong position AlphaZero is starting to offer his rooks one after another. Exchange sacrifices in the style of Tigran Petrosian are blowing apart Black's position! On move 53 Stockfish 8 resigns because the endgame is hopeless! https://www.youtube.com/embed/brZCHRaqHeA 470 2018-12-08T16:30:33+00:00 https://chessterra.com/with-a-mighty-rook-sacrifice-praggnanandhaa-destroys-berlin-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/jNQXPv20Gdw.jpg With A Mighty Rook Sacrifice Praggnanandhaa Destroys Berlin Defense With A Mighty Rook Sacrifice Praggnanandhaa Destroys Berlin Defense Indian chess prodigy Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu who is the third-youngest person ever to achieve the title of grandmaster, behind Sergey Karjakin and Javokhir Sindarov is organizing a destructive attack against Berlin defense and with a beautiful rook sacrifices forces his opponent to capitulate!

By going for Grunfeld defense, MVL soon got a slightly preferable position, managed to squeeze maximum of the position, and although in the end with an inaccurate move could have nearly spoil everything, but as Nakamura missed his chance, failed to find the line with a perpetual check, with an epic queen sacrifice Vachier-Lagrave won the game! https://www.youtube.com/embed/E8bTEylwrE0 442 2018-12-09T13:28:37+00:00 https://chessterra.com/unbelievable-alphazero-goes-for-fried-liver-attack/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/bKuWALjJ_VE.jpg Unbelievable!

For a smothered mate of this sort to occur in a game, it is usually necessary to sacrifice material to compel pieces to smother the king. One method is particularly common and involves: check with the knight, then move the knight away to deliver a double check from the queen and knight, then sacrifice the queen to force the rook next to the king, then mate with the knight! In this video you can see an above mentioned mating idea, but everything is not so easy and there are some underwater stones which should be taken into consideration! https://www.youtube.com/embed/mAGmOtGXseQ 164 2018-12-21T03:00:02+00:00 https://chessterra.com/this-queen-sacrifice-is-awesome-and-will-leave-you-speechless/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/uyj0V-dTdsc.jpg This Queen Sacrifice Is Awesome And Will Leave You Speechless Andras Adorjan vs Istvan Polgar HUN-ch (1972), Budapest HUN Alekhine Defense: Modern.

But in this game Tal is on the black side, and he chooses Najdorf variation where in the main line once the players castle opposite sides Tal is getting great attacking chances! After Josef Kupper's 12th move, which looks a bit passive Tal's attack gradually gets scarier and under the pressing white finally makes a mistake and his position goes down very quickly! A sharp game where Tal even sacrifices a piece without calculations! https://www.youtube.com/embed/vrWTQomQtCs 434 2019-01-08T16:00:03+00:00 https://chessterra.com/his-name-is-tal-but-he-is-not-tal-who-is-he/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/S_xRKoljRrs.jpg His Name Is Tal But He Is Not Tal!

The smothered mate follows to the queen sacrifice! In chess, a smothered mate is a checkmate delivered by a knight in which the mated king is unable to move because he is surrounded (or smothered) by his own pieces.The mate is usually seen in a corner of the board, since fewer pieces are needed to surround the king there. For a smothered mate of this sort to occur in a game, it is usually necessary to sacrifice material to compel pieces to smother the king. One method is particularly common and involves: check with the knight, then move the knight away to deliver a double check from the queen and knight, then sacrifice the queen to force the rook next to the king, then mate with the knight! https://www.youtube.com/embed/rZpGgDZV5nY 222 2019-01-21T03:30:02+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bent-larsen-neutralises-smothered-mate-with-a-creepy-sacrifice/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/dqPxruJeDyU.jpg Bent Larsen Neutralises Smothered Mate With A Creepy Sacrifice Bent Larsen vs Drazen Suboticanec Sicilian Defense: Canal Attack.

Turbo 16K is a sophisticated chess computer which automatically registers your moves on its built-in sensor chessboard. It has 17 different levels of skill and two digital chess clocks to show you the elapsed time for each side. To my 1.e2-e4 the computer answers with French defense, but soon in Winawer variation fails to play correctly and quickly gets a lost position. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-e7nW8FCh-Y 783 2019-03-15T17:15:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/must-see-the-potent-bishops-and-impotent-rooks/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/7kBKuvae4XE.jpg Must See!

As both players made terrible blunders in this game Jan Donner called it "A Crime Against Chess". After missing a bishop sacrifice on move 8 Donner already wanted to resign but then decided to make a few more moves and finally it was Matanovic who blundered terribly and in view of imminent checkmate he resigned! https://www.youtube.com/embed/4hBszjvfS-Q 289 2019-03-30T03:00:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/artemiev-sacrifices-both-knights-and-wins-2019-european-chess-championship/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Oqf4uQqQ204.jpg Artemiev Sacrifices Both Knights And Wins 2019 European Chess Championship After winning in Gibraltar Masters 2019, Vladislav Artemiev scored his second big victory of the year at the European Individual Chess Championship. He shared the 1st place with Nils Grandelius from Sweden but was better by tiebreak criteria (opponents' rating minus the lowest). Kacper Piorun (Poland) took the third place with 8 points. Artemiev played his tournament in solid Russian style, winning all his white games and drawing his black games (except for the first round, when he beat his opponent as Black). All these white games were highly interesting rich with dynamic piece play. In this video I am covering his game played in round 2 against Kaido Kulaots where with an impressive double knight sacrifice Vladislav Artemiev managed to bring his opponent's king in the center, thus gained a slight advantage and in a long and merciless rook and double bishop endgame managed to force his opponent to resign! https://www.youtube.com/embed/Oqf4uQqQ204 484 2019-03-30T15:30:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/lets-call-this-the-poisoned-queen-variation/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/auLRvn-rKaE.jpg Let’s Call This “The Poisoned Queen Variation” Queen sacrifice in the opening is a rare "phenomenon" but magic happens. In this video I am covering a game played between Robert Brieger and Joaquin Camarena where in Nimzowitsch defense, on move 5 white goes for a spectacular queen sacrifice after which pulls out a brilliant attack. Although by giving back the queen black is dragging white into the endgame but soon more tactical shots follow, white wins more pawns and then even mates black king. A game worth of seeing! https://www.youtube.com/embed/auLRvn-rKaE 432 2019-03-31T03:00:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/agadmator-vs-suren-suren-sacrifices-his-queen-and-shocks-agad/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/GWPM6t6t9QM.jpg Agadmator vs Suren | Suren Sacrifices His Queen And Shocks Agad Lichess 3 Minute Super Blitz Vienna Game: Hamppe-Meitner Variation (C25) 1. e4 e5 2.

Unstoppable Attack vs Immovable Force In this video I am covering a theatricalized game played between David Bronstein and Tigran Petrosian. As this game was played in a stadium for the audience Bronstein goes for King's gambit and chooses one of the sharpest lines of that opening. By sacrificing his rook he manages to organize a very dangerous attack, but Petrosian's defense turns out to be impenetrable and finally the game ends up in a draw! As Kasparov wrote: "In those years, it was easier to win the Soviet Championship than a game against 'Iron Tigran'." https://www.youtube.com/embed/yQMN1kHu6UQ 377 2019-04-01T16:30:05+00:00 https://chessterra.com/oh-no-8-year-old-tani-misses-his-chance-to-beat-hikaru-nakamura/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/mwA-Me-cgsU.jpg Oh, No! 8-year-old Tani Misses His Chance To Beat Hikaru Nakamura Tanitoluwa Adewumi (Tani) vs GM Hikaru Nakamura Sicilian Defense: Dragon Variation.

In this game Polgar organizes her attack in cost of a pawn sacrifice but Black's defense turns out to be super solid. After seeing that her position is hopeless she tries her luck by going for a rook and bishop sacrifice but with a nice queen sacrifice black neutralizes all the threats and all White could to was to resign. As she correctly noted "Tricks do not work if the position is bad and the opponent remains alert until the end." Although Judt Polgar lost this game but it is treasured in her book "How I Beat Fischer's Record"! https://www.youtube.com/embed/AsWCdsHk0rE 414 2019-04-02T16:15:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-spectacular-queen-sacrifice-by-german-chess-master-emil-diemer/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/0K643pNP2sA.jpg A Spectacular Queen Sacrifice By German Chess Master Emil Diemer Emil Joseph Diemer vs Wolfgang Ludwig Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: Tartakower Variation (D00) 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3.

Luckily the game caught the eye of Alexander Alekhine and the game became famous. Here is how... In 1930 in the Deutsche Schachzeitung Alexander Alekhine came across the game played between F Hermann and Hugo Hussong. This is not the sort of game you would expect the World Champion to look at. However he not only noticed it, he even analysed it thoroughly and even devoted a special article to it, under the heading "A Gem of Combinative Art". https://www.youtube.com/embed/ffZbDRZc8uE 479 2019-04-04T02:00:02+00:00 https://chessterra.com/tani-faces-fabiano-caruana-in-a-blitz-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tRMJNcx0X1g.jpg Tani Faces Fabiano Caruana In A Blitz Game Tanitoluwa Adewumi (Tani) vs GM Fabiano Caruana B56 Sicilian Defense: Classical Variation 1. e4 c5 2.

But soon he makes improvements in the line and goes for a move which no one had ever tried. He sacrifices his bishop on move 8 thus gaining a huge unopposed center. Finally he launches an unforgettable pawn storm and all Norwegian IM Ernst Rojahn can do is to capitulate! https://www.youtube.com/embed/wet46tf3wS4 491 2019-04-09T15:45:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/tal-wins-by-tricks-i-consider-it-my-duty-as-a-grandmaster-to-beat-him-properly-vasily-smyslov/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/kTkClClY9ew.jpg “Tal wins by tricks. I consider it my duty as a grandmaster to beat him properly” ~ Vasily Smyslov In the autumn of 1959, in the Yugoslav towns of Bled, Zagreb and Belgrade the four cycle tournament of eight candidates for the world crown took place: The candidates were Smyslov, Keres, Petrosian, Tal, Gligoric, Olafsson, Benko and the 16 year old Fischer. Tal was not regarded as one of the favorites. Moreover, a couple of weeks before the start he underwent an operation for appendicitis (later it transpired that the pain he was suffering was caused by a kidney illness). When Mikhail Tal started his rise to the world championship crown, his risky style of play was viewed with disdain by most grandmasters; for example, former world champion Vassily Smyslov commented that Tal wins by tricks. "I consider it my duty as a grandmaster to beat him properly." What happens next is from "must watch" series. In their first ever encounter Tal chooses an offbeat line in Caro-Kann defense and soon by going for a bishop sacrifice manages to unleash a dangerous attack. Although for some time Smyslov manages to find the most accurate defensive moves but soon he fails to withstand Tal's devilish pressure and makes a mistake.

By going for Sicilian Scheveningen 9th World Chess Champion Tigran Petrosian sets up a very solid formation against which Philippine IM Rodolfo Tan Cardoso's Keres attack fails to create problems. In a very accurate way Petrosian is managing to put pressure on e4 square and once the pawn drops Petrosian gains advantage. Although White is managing to "invite' Petrosian to go for a king walk but that gives the game a unique and unforgettable taste!

Valentina Gunina Sacrifices Her Pieces One After Another Russian GM Valentina Gunina plays a sharp, attacking game against French GM Marie Sebag. In this video I am analyzing that game where Gunina sacrifices her pieces one after another. By choosing the Keres attack against Sicilian Najdorf Gunina launches a pawn storm and with a provocative knight sacrifice invites her opponent to enter the jungle of "endless complications". Sebag fails to play accurately and once she makes a mistake Gunina's attack becomes irresistible and soon Black resigns in view of an imminent checkmate! https://www.youtube.com/embed/c0yQq60xl1Y 412 2019-04-17T16:15:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/see-what-happens-when-two-attacking-players-face-each-other/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/BPTk3yzUEAA.jpg See What Happens When Two Attacking Players Face Each Other! Mikhail Tal played this sharp attacking game against David Bronstein. As you know both players were creative geniuses, whose games were always filled with energetic attacks and mind boggling sacrifices! And when such players face each other one can always expect an uncompromised battle! This game is not an exception! Against Tal's 1.e2-e4 Bronstein chooses the hypermodern Pirc defense which allows Tal to organize a dangerous attack!

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! https://www.youtube.com/embed/hcjkWuxk2dc 464 2019-04-19T16:01:57+00:00 https://chessterra.com/blitz-chess-stifles-creative-ideas-bobby-fischer/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/MxIQOQlEyuw.jpg Blitz Chess Stifles Creative Ideas ~ Bobby Fischer Bobby Fischer didn't like blitz chess which according to him, stifles creative ideas. But even in blitz Fischer demonstrated sharp tactical skills and creative ideas. The following game is a nice example! In a game against Yugoslav grandmaster Milan Matulovic Fischer goes for Ruy Lopez and once Black answers with Schliemann defense, Fischer manages to get a very active piece play. Being well familiar with all odds and ends of the variation Fischer quickly manages to gain advantage by sacrificing a piece, after which his attack gets decisive very quickly!

By making use of his opponent's inaccuracy on move 5, he first advances on the queenside and then launches an attack on the kingside. In this game the king of exchange sacrifices "Iron Tigran" sacrifices both rooks and forces his opponent to resign!

Here is how Tal comments that encounter: "At first I felt uneasy about playing eight Bronsteins at once, but then I consoled myself with the thought that David would be fighting against eight Tals". All the games were first rate games, and Tal won the simul 5:3 (+4 -2 +2).

But Why? In this famous chess game for the first time Paul Keres chooses Caro-Kann defense against Bobby Fischer and his choice is amply justified by the inept way in which Fischer treats the whole opening. During 1959 Candidates tournament against Caro-Kann defense Fischer was choosing Two Knights attack and he kept on losing. Bent Larsen who was his second at the time, did his utmost to dissuade Fischer from playing the misbegotten line but Fischer stubbornly persevered sustaining one loss after another. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BeCvW5phFz8 456 2019-04-25T15:45:01+00:00 https://chessterra.com/viktor-korchnoi-refutes-his-analysis-in-kings-gambit-over-the-board/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/LsB5DoP8nRg.jpg Viktor Korchnoi Refutes His Analysis In King’s Gambit Over The Board In this famous chess game Viktor Korchnoi faces the most aggressive opening: King's gambit, but he manages to refute the line chosen by White (which was also his analysis) over the board!

Once the pawn reaches the seventh rank, Saemisch cannot save the game, so instead he saves himself the trouble of playing on, as the f7 pawn demoralizes his pieces and he cannot cope with the white knights that will crawl throughout his position.

In chess, a windmill is a tactic in which a combination of discovered checks and regular checks, usually by a rook and a bishop, often forcing the opposing king to move back and forth between two squares, can win massive amounts of material. This tactic is also sometimes referred to as a see-saw. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3fJo3lYm--I 326 2019-05-04T04:00:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/top-5-best-queen-sacrifices-by-mikhail-tal/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QPSHleYdHVU.jpg Top 5 Best Queen Sacrifices By Mikhail Tal In this video I have selected my favorite top 5 queen sacrifices by Mikhail Tal which lead to a forced checkmate!

It’s used for the first time by the former world champion Alexander Alekhine in 1910. The idea is to physically restrict, or block the enemy pawn in front of the attacking piece (thus Alekhine’s “block”). This instructive game is a brilliant example of Alekhine's block tactics, where White sacrifices both bishops!

In King's Indian Defense Karthikeyan makes a novelty and goes for a shocking queen sacrifice on move 9 which has already managed to make a huge noise in chess circles! The queen sacrifice allowed him to gain two minor pieces and a pawn against a queen but as White failed to find the most accurate moves in the complex position very soon got a lost position! A brilliant game which will definitely be treasured in chess literature!

By going for a pawn sacrifice Bogolyubov is first demoralizing Black's kingside after which launches an attack with a final king hunt! Castling queen-side with a check is something which can be seen rarely in chess!

First Jones is choosing a slightly offbeat line and then by inviting his opponent to win a pawn goes for a queen sacrifice! His opponent Vietnamese IM Anh Khoi Nguyen fails to show a decent resistance and concedes quickly! Another brilliant example of how two minor pieces can prevail over a queen!

Relying on this well known fact, Hikaru Nakamura goes for Evans Gambit, an old opening which can be seen rarely at the top level nowadays but is perfect to drive your opponent out of preparations from move 4 and mess up the game! Nakamura's strategy worked fine, and after facing the Evans Gambit Robert Hess started to burn time and make inaccurate moves! Nakamura wins the game with a staggering rook sacrifice!

The sacrificed queen in Sicilian defense allowed Black to gain two minor pieces and two pawns vs queen and prevail over it! In the end Gildardo Garica finishes up the game with a brilliant rook sacrifice! A game which deserves to be famous!

In Sicilian defense Tal makes a risky move which allows Nezhmetdinov to open up the f-file and gain attacking chances! Soon Tal makes more inaccuracies and first steps into an exchange sacrifice and then for tactical shots! Tal's king becomes a target for White's aggression and he quickly loses! This game was awarded a special prize as the best in the tournament!

On that occasion in today's video decided to cover one of the brilliant games played by Petrosian! In this game Petrosian is White and is playing against Hungarian chess player Pal Benko! In Nimzo-Indian Defense Benko erroneously allows Petrosian to grab the initiative in the center after which is starting to face serious problems! Petrosian's attack turns out to be irresistible and his passed pawns help him to achieve victory!

By going for King's Indian Defense the 13th World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov sacrifices his queen on move 12 and by making use of White's passive position starts to gradually intensify the pressure! Being unable to find the best defensive moves Kramnik starts to make inaccuracies and soon gets a lost position! Another brilliant example of how two minor pieces can prevail over the queen!

French defense is probably the best example! There was nothing wrong with that opening but it wasn't an opening for Tal. After suffering a painful loss in a game against Hungarian Grandmaster Lajos Portisch Tal gave up playing French and here is how he commented his decision! "At that point my "French career" came to an end. The French requires Black to play with great accuracy" and this is a quality I never had a great measure of."

As always Carlsen had a lot of fun experimenting with various irregular chess opening and in this game he chose the hyper-aggressive Grob's Attack!
