One Of The Greatest Attacks In Chess

[@agadmator]

Fun fact, Tarrasch played this game without the Rook on A1. Forgot to hide it :)

Was it captured or it wasn't there at all for the entire match?

i am watching this channel since almost 3 years , but this has to be the best checkmate i have ever seen

[@mubaraksenju7521]

To sacrifice the queen like that means tarrasch saw the rook sacrifice too. What a monster guy! I hope i can calculate that far! One of the best checkmates, no cap

I kinda feel bad for the hoodie guy... He never wins🙁

Matthias Burschowsky vs Ma Weiss, agadmator released the video 2 years ago, titled "the captures captures immortal", hoodie guy Ma Weiss won

[@danielhill3665]

Ok just watched it first time Agadmator made it seem mind blowing. No harm no foul. 😎

[@dragstorm]

@@kohinoorbanerjee4009 You're right... I checked✅... Finally something to show in hoodie guy's career 🌝

[@Fullsendlayup]

One of the nicest checkmates I’ve seen

[@Tesomanjarvi]

I really love these older matches :3

[@ilanouh]

This checkmate looks perfect. Every piece and pawn covering exactly one square around and on the king, with no overlap. Truly a beautiful mate

[@jonathancauley5345]

Oh man, his opponent really didn’t have any chance once the king was opened.

[@meeburgascon9481]

[@spyreytos]

absolute masterpiece, thanks for sharing

[@torstencuber9114]

Agadmator, you forgot to mention that Tarrasch even played a World Championship Match against Emanuel Lasker in Berlin 1908. So He was truly one of the greatest Player in the time between 1890 and The first World War.

[@learningisfun2108]

Beautiful! In a million years, I never would have seen that checkmate coming.

[@ThePezzy12345]

Was wearing my hoody because it was cold. Then you dropped a match against a hoody guy, so I didn't even need to grab it. It's like it was fate.

[@curiouscat9]

Same

[@rickharold7884]

Beautiful. The king was dancing on hot coals with no way to get off them until he was dead. Awesome minor piece checkmate .

[@theemeraldprogamer731]

the knight and bishop checkmates are quite tricky to spot in closed positions!

[@sarcastaball]

Wrong

[@TheBrawlBox]

That is a superb check mate.

[@ritwikgarg4243]

Seriously spectacular game! Spectacular! Amazing! Marvellous! I don't have words for this rare of the rarest checkmates to be even seen!

[@ritwikgarg4243]

@Isaiah 1776 Indeed true my friend! But the checkmate was way more aesthetic than that to actually describe in words.......I can find enough of it!😁😁🤣🤣

[@memerinal]

Taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of that checkmate I just witnessed.

[@ziedyacoub8488]

Absolutely beautiful game . :)

steinitz saga is gonna be a banger, can't wait

[@carmenschumann826]

. . . pretty impressive - these tactics - and also how you are always discovering such pearls out of ancient times . . .

[@ivankorbijn4198]

Antonio with Steiniz saga like GRR Martin with Winds of Winter lol, just kidding 🤣 you know we all appreciate your zeal and hard work for chess. Great job!

[@imashu5634]

Wonderful just wonderful ❤️

[@marcuseaston4640]

Happy for you that you are feeling better…as per usual, another great video…keep on keeping on…

[@mkemechanic]

"Try to find mate in eleven while I give you a couple of seconds." I will go with "nope" on that one.

[@barryweaver8833]

Wow anytime I plan that many sacrifices with that many moves ahead there's always a variable I miss like one escape path for the king or something LOL. What vision!!

[@thewarlordscalling6537]

Take more time.u will eliminate tht 1 escape path

[@gabrielmza7390]

One of the most beautiful checkmates I've ever seen.

[@exs1803]

Amazing game. So many sacrifices to get the king in position for mate.

[@An1ma]

LOVE older matches, more of that please! :)

[@studbagl]

Man modern games are great, but these old games are so much more romantic

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Very Impressive Black looked so Promising in the Beginning but what a Comeback by White just come up with such Spectacular moves

[@jeremygonzalez2230]

I used to live blog Tarrash's games back in the day

[@Beerfish777]

I can often spot the first move of the pause the video moments but rarely do I find all the follow ups. Great game indeed.

[@Puschit1]

I got it right up to the queen sacrifice but my calculations continued with the wrong discovered check and that's it. Not that I would have had any chance to spot everything. Going back with the knight is engine magic for me^^

[@elgonzo5]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 beautiful!

[@pratyakshkumar8940]

Finally the mystery is over, the hoodie guy is non of other than agadmator himself😂😂

[@burgercheezes]

Love the channel. Thought it was interesting at one point you said 'clean mate.' In a video from a few years back talking about an older game the gentleman described his mate as 'clean' and you mentioned this isn't an actual term but sometimes a mate looks so good it makes sense to call it clean.

[@ivanvincent3532]

This checkmate is a true embodiment of the beauty of chess! ❤

[@mdrakic]

"...the olden days and the olden ways". A truly spectacular ad-lib comment.

[@coxscorner]

I saw ...d5 early on (similar to Two Knights Defense) which would have gave black a good game but that mate, uh uh, truly spectacular.

[@josephotunga9608]

tarrasch is magnificient

[@NetroYT]

amazing 🤩, thanks for the video

[@mindkorner]

This line is so beautiful i watched it three times and still enjoying it till the end

[@megiemaster]

In the first half of the 19th century, European physicians-including Marshall Hall, Moritz Romberg - i would say its the Romberg we looking for?

[@williamblettler]

i've looking around trying to discover if its that Romberg, and apparently Tarrasch in his book referred to this Romberg as H. Romberg, and the game was played in 1892 or 1893. Since Moritz Heinrich Romberg died in 1873, unluckily it cant be him :(

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

The deals with Magnus sound great. I hope Magnus finds them very profitable and rewarding.

[@worldslayer100]

Loved it thanks, great attack with clean ending.

[@SamuelPearlman]

This game completed just 129 years ago and you're already covering it, slow down Antonio! :D

[@Prismyyy]

Tarrasch knows how to do stitches not just in the medical field but also in mate in 11. What a bloodbath

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Its so difficult to mate with only knights and bishops because they have to not only protect each other, but block retreating squares AND deliver checks all at the same time. Extremely difficult to coordinate that over the board.

[@williamgoss4691]

That is one exquisitely planned and executed check-mate !! / Dear Agadmator do take time off to look after yourself & yr family ! We, yr chess family, will wait (almost) patiently for your return !!

[@joediditde]

This mate in 11 is too crazy.

[@AndersonNeo12]

This awesome attacking game is similar to another piece of art by The Black Death - Joseph Henry Blackburn. For those you of u who know the game, congratulations, you are an excellent subscriber and for those of you who wanna enjoy another great attacking the game: Video Title "tired of all the draws? check this out"

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

Blackburne is one of my favorite players! Do you know the story of him at a simultaneous exhibition? One of the players had a glass of whisky by his board. Blackburne came by, picked up the whisky, and downed it. Asked about it later, Blackburne replied, "He left his glass en prise, and I captured it en passant." Possibly apocryphal. But who cares?

[@VrishankPandey]

"Spot the mate in 11 while I give you a couple of seconds"😁

[@lorifairhead8124]

Very nice to make a queen sacrifice leading to mate, I made a queen sacrifice on Jan 1st against a computer so am happy Ill play better chess this year. I was looking through this game over the board and I don't recall you covering move 18 Ne2+ if black replies 18 ... Kh5 If my analysis is right all lines still lead to mate and white sacrifices the rook, as follows: 18 Ne2+ Kh5 19 Rf5+ Bxf5 20 Ng3+ And now if 20 ... Kg6 21 exf5+ Kf6 22 Bg5 mate Or if 20 ... Kg4 21 Be2+ Kh4 22 Bg5 mate Finally if 20 ... Kh4 21 Bg5+ Kg4 22 Be2+ Nf3 23 Bxf3 mate Happy New Year!

[@AlpinaBiturbo346]

This was a spectacular game

[@somabhamukherjee9866]

Probably the best mating combination I saw after Edward Lasker’s.

Wow that guy must have calculated all those lines in his head. CRAZY!

Olden days 😀😀😀 Nice one

These were two medical doctors. The Romberg test is still used in neurology today.

[@markfarrens7733]

I couldn’t find that winning sequence , what a calculator that man was

[@fahimpopal39]

There is a test in medicine, neurology to be precise, that is called "Romberg standing test". Might be that this Romberg is the same Romberg guy since Tarrasch was a doctor himself.

[@kirby7489]

Great video. I feel these old games are more instructive for expert and below players as we get to see some great ideas and tactics. Modern GM games don’t allow as much of this kind of stuff.

[@decreasing_entropy3003]

For the first time, I actually was wearing a hoodie when it was needed. Also, what a zealous steed did Mr. Tarrasch land on e6(I actually missed it, although I was considering a discovery)! The final delivery of the combination with the rook sacrifice awed me in exultation, and the dialogue "this time the knight returns with checkmate" will remain with me.

[@sdct27]

This has to be one of the most beautiful mates I’ve ever seen

[@trentarnold2670]

Wth is this? I can't believe this is a real life game. It looks like a chess movie where the protagonist is getting destroyed in the amatuer audience eyes' but he comes up with the best checkmate ever. No space to breathe for that poor opponent. Damnnn

[@ebwholesaler]

- " I surrender !! " (black King)

[@IchErwin]

Steinitz saga: Good news! Didn't know you were planning that.

[@ppmpyae1152]

Tarrasch actually placed above alekhine in third in 1914 tournament, at least on wikipedia.

[@robertehrenworth3310]

Wow! Brilliant King-hunt!

[@julian_b]

Interesting quote from Carlsen. It’s almost like he’s saying that if he’s not interested in classical chess then how could anyone else be.

[@danrangel5169]

This is one the games of chess of all time

[@onnoquinten2944]

Holy schmoly. Sick game I love this style

[@giovannicorno1247]

Amazing, in the beginning this combination remembers the famous Lasker-Thomas Queen sacrifice.

[@jwizansky]

Was thinking how elegant the final combination is using the just the four minor pieces (counting the Bc4 defending the Nc6), with an assist from the e4 pawn. Then seeing the note that white played with no QR, that means those were his only remaining pieces - more exquisite still. Most importantly, good thing Dr. Tarrasch was on hand to deliver CPR to Mr. Hoodie after that final position!!

[@KevinFitzMauriceEverett]

In reference to the quotation at the top. I prefer classical games because they are played better, making them more interesting and instructive.

[@shahidakhtar7848]

After the first night discovery just after the queen sacrifice, its a quick checkmate if white plays night f6 with check followed by bishop g5 check mate

[@davidsaldivia8552]

that is not even check 🤔

[@minigooshey]

Ah that’s a nice one, but that only works if the king goes to h4 after knight f6. If king to g6, i don’t know if that leads to mate

[@minigooshey]

@@davidsaldivia8552 he’s saying ne6+, kh5, nf6+, kh4, bg5++

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

Dislocated my brains. How the hell someone calculate that one.
