After this game, Winawer changed his name to Losawer. Just kidding.

I enjoy watching your chess lectures. I normally watch them on my smart tv so I don't get to hit like or leave comments. Today I'm on my computer watching it. So I'd like to take this time to say hello and I think your awesome...

[@johnrider2108]

He resigned because it's better to have lunch than to be lunch

[@secretsquirrel5566]

Epic is right. Great upload.

[@HollyMartins]

The art of how to push the pawn and the fun of hearing Mato say Queen to g4 attacking pawn on g6 Just kidding and then the Queen actually takes pawn on g6. A masterpiece

Hello Is this Mato? Matojelic, there was a game played between Ernst Grunfeld and Paul Keres in 1950 at Szcawno Zdroj, where Keres with black pieces crushed Grunfeld.. And the opening was Old Benoni:Neo Indian, 4Bg5... So please make next video on this fantastic game... 😊

Apparently Saint Teresa (1515-1582) is the Patron Saint of Chess. Also of Headaches. Read into that what you will.

[@azy63]

Two pieces and a pawn make a convincing argument.

[@sivathejad9456]

At 3:00 why no Nxf6

[@markhughes7927]

Truth is - if I faced Winawer - I’d be his lunch - but it’s nice to ride with a top gun.....

[@fporretto]

Spielmann would have called Steinitz's Queen sacrifice a "sham sacrifice"...but how many players would have seen the continuation that followed Winawer's refusal? Beautiful tactics in a position that wasn't all that clear!

The reason that experts gave i think is not real actuaaly the real reason for black to resign that his opponent was stinitz
