Pillsbury wins with the Pillsbury Attack in 26 moves

[@ChessNetwork]

I think it’s pretty awesome that a game played 123 years ago can inspire the chess minds of today. Maybe it is in part because Pillsbury was ahead of one’s time. ♥ "Instructive Chess Games" kzbin.info/aero/PLQsLDm9Rq9bFHdffLacgG2cQTHM0LXSRG

Thank you Jerry for sharing this game with us.

[@chrishauser5505]

I enjoy the old games more than the new ones. Thanks, Jerry.

Nice going Jerry

You're right, that geometry was beautiful.

[@adamyoung6797]

Much better than some chess KZbinrs who concentrate on drama and themselves

[@bigfoot99]

No question in my mind that Jerry has the best coaching skills of any Chess YOutuber, but his output (of his analysis videos) has been quite sporadic.

[@gelamegeneishvili130]

Keep the activity Jerry we missed u

[@denizCM]

This is top level demonstration and teaching

[@zacharyheflin6794]

Nothing like a quality chess network video at night to stir the mind & inspire my next great attack!

[@ilyrm89]

Good to know he is able to win with his own attack:)

[@moesheri9385]

Yes, not like Marshall attack against Casablanca ;-)

[@thedarksoulsveteran]

Thanks for all the recent uploads Jerry. I’m sure it’s a tough slog but I know I speak for a lot of people when I say your videos bring me a lot of joy.

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

You're a great teacher. Thanks!

[@cloudforest4087]

Phenomenal analysis as always.

[@willyh.r.1216]

Your explanation is excellent as usual. The game you prepare was great. Thank you.

[@jonathanbeeson8614]

I definitely appreciate the depth of explanation of everything Jerry, especially why the timing of each move had to be so precise. Thank you !

[@Rieper47]

Have to say I'm enjoying the increase in youtube content Jerry. You will always be the OG in my heart!

[@chrislukas959]

Amazing. I love that you've been posting more. Please continue, I love your videos

[@potatoesaregood5127]

Hey Jerry! I just want you to know that your videos and love for the game inspired me to start playing, and I just hit 1300 today. Thanks for getting me into the game, you’re the best!

[@ChessNetwork]

Glad to hear it! Congrats on 1300 👍

[@KJParadise]

Great stuff, as always, Jerry

[@ChessNetwork]

😎👍

[@eclipsedammit]

I think your analysis videos are my favorite content on KZbin. They're just so purely good. With a cup of coffee in the morning, on a Saturday afternoon, before bed, it doesn't matter. It's always a good time for a chill chess analysis with Jerry.

[@Haufpunk]

Jerry, always enjoy it when you talk about pieces or pawns getting babysitted. I'm going to start including the phrase in my own annotated games!

[@yannigogo2863]

Great content again ! This is the line I use in this variation and a line you play often Thank you Jerry !!

[@moesheri9385]

Hi Jerry. Thx from Germany

[@rano4651]

Amazing video as always Jerry! Your game analysis videos are always so well made and informative. Keep it up!

[@WtItCbtLoR]

Thank you, Jerry. I love it when you have a new video.

[@clintongryke6887]

Really good; more of these wonderful, clear, explanations, please.

Love the analysis, thanks a ton Jerry

[@thymussernok]

Great game, it is amazing that level of accuracy such a long time ago. Amazing player!

[@Phoneplugger]

Jerry’s breakdowns are second to none

Amazing Video as always. Thank you Jerry.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Thanks Jerry the classics are classic fora reason. Keep up the good work.

[@zwischendurundmoll3968]

Such a nice analysis once again, thanks so much!

[@michaelmolz8037]

Kool, admirable analysis

[@michelaraujo4375]

Wow, Jerry, i'm really happy with the recent video uploading frequency. Your way of analysing games with a very positional rationale has helped me grow as a player for many years now. Greetings from Brasil.

[@markedwards9247]

Thanks Jerry. I was amazed watching this because just thisafternoon I had an exact game up to move 9 as white. It was only a 5+0, so I lost the game because I spent too much time analyzing the tactics, and ended up attempting a rook lift as white. It was super 2 hours later, to have a master break it all down for me. Thanks Jerry. Have a good day mate.

[@Nerfgunninja]

Loving all these uploads

[@chandansahu385]

Very nice explanation. Getting clear ideas of positional chess

[@tristandavids5305]

found this channel after you beat me in a bullet game an hour ago lol

[@ChessNetwork]

gg

[@chessmess1865]

Please, please do more videos on Pillsbury and other old school player. This is best. So many other Pillsbury game that needs love. More in depth on his amazing style. Thank you Jerry

[@barooooooo7665]

Amazing love the old videos

[@gaius68]

Great instructive video - thanks for sharing!

[@amosdraak3536]

From this same year Schlechter and Lasker player an interesting game that would be cool to cover. Schlechter showed good understanding of attacking in the center when attacked on the flank, and presumably missed a win in that game. The back and forth seemed pretty awesome, too

[@centaurs87]

Love you Jerry!

[@sliceserve234]

I have always wanted to understand the Pillsbury Attack better, and this video is perfect for that!

[@owensmart2514]

Hi Jerry, it’s everyone again

[@brennenhiatt8459]

The geometry of 7:20 really is attractive..

[@clintongryke6887]

I agree, absolutely.

[@corbinbaker1720]

Another great video

[@RoyGazoff]

Cool covering, Jerry 👍

[@uniktbrukernavn]

96% accuracy with one blunder is pretty neat.

[@brbcrew9957]

Masterpiece

[@msp9331]

that selection of games is georgious

[@vigilante8374]

Jerry, since you really liked the style of this game, you should tinker around with the Stonewall or the Tromp-Stonewall sometime. I play them a lot as both white and black and I get VERY similar attacks all of the time in blitz and bullet. It's soooo satisfying when you realize the center is sufficiently locked and your opponent is busy on the queenside, but you know there's no way they'll have enough tempi to beat out your kingside stuff. It happens even to higher rated people; I've won against quite a few 2200s with it (and I'm maybe 1800 on a good day.) A pawn storm with the king knight pawn often works wonders as well, sometimes supporting other pieces but in bullet and blitz they'll often make the mistake of attempting to prematurely kick my knight with F3/F6, which leads to a very stylish Greek gift and then pawn-and-queen mating attack (with your knight pawn on the 6th). Or you'll get the opportunity for rook lifts, or sometimes even a double piece sacrifice against the king. And even if your opponent doesn't make tactical mistakes or fall into strategically bad positions Stockfish always says it's fine, sometimes equal or sometimes with black holding a very slight edge, but white having clearer long term plans. And it's always an interesting position, IMO. (...except for the symmetric Stonewall, which is tedium incarnate, but it's rare and often avoidable if you don't like it. There's also a move order I really enjoy that lets me shift gears into a Colle / Semislav if they're doing any sort of Hippo-like setup, which is I find to be an extremely effective low-calculation bullet response to the Hippo, usually involving a queen-bishop battery and a timely pawn to king bishop 3 as a prelude to the eventual assault, but I'm rambled too long as it is.)

[@willscharnagl6909]

Pillsbury is such an underrated figure in Chess history

[@flushentitypacket]

A frustration I have with chess is that it feels as though successful attacks require lots of calculation, whereas putting up at least some defense is usually the first few moves that comes to mind, so often I fall under time pressure when attacking. Some of these combinations shown at the end are pretty lengthy and require precise calculation because of temporary loss of material. Do you ever feel this way when playing attacking chess?

[@jacksonmcdonald5443]

The more pieces you bring into your attack the less precise you necessarily have to be. You can still make non-optimal plays (as seem here with a 'blunder' by Pillsbury which was the difference between a mate in 6 and 7) but end up winning. Also while the combinations may seem lengthy and precise, they are following basic premises such as order of capture and bringing extra pieces into the game. You can follow these basic principles and generally be fine, again if you have enough attacking pieces. Once you get to a point where you are consistently getting into complex attacking positions then you can praise your progress and start dedicating time to going into deeper calculations.

[@dgontar]

This Pillsbury attack is identical or very similar to what master Jude Acers plays against many black systems against d4. He would play it against my King's Indian and Old Indian defenses. the d4-e3-f4 pawn formation is often referred to as the Stonewall formation. This opening is referred to as the Stonewall Attack, but Pillsbury was one of the biggest exponents of it.

[@itachi_257fromthehiddenlea9]

Thank you sir. I gonna try it

[@mohsenhassani495]

That was amazing!!!

[@RedGaming23]

Great video, I’d seen the game where Tal uses the Pillsbury attack but had never seen the original game. Think I may try to memorise this game as it seems a great stem for so many attacking ideas for d4 players.

[@RedGaming23]

@chessNetwork is this promotion affiliated with you or do you not know who this is? @Message-ChessNetwork1 its strange to have a subscriber giveaway if you have no content? I don't know what telegram is?

[@gonzalofernandotorresdelfi561]

When I started playing chess, a friend of my father's told me about this Harry Nelson Pillsbury and it was so incredible that I couldn't understand it... I knew what I saw was beautiful, but only with time and a lot of chess did I understand this 19th century gentleman

[@ddmannion]

Great!

[@sophiegrey9576]

who knew the lil chef dude was a masterful attacker

[@bigfoot99]

Interesting to contemplate how far Pillsbury would have gone if he hadn't died so young. Perhaps the strongest player to have never become World Champion, along with Paul Keres.

[@chrishauser5505]

I guess you could say he really got his Pillsbury attack rolling. 😎

[@qassimalfaesly7024]

yes moar videos. keep going.

Nice video. Will all due respect, I believe Tartakower is pronounced "TAR-ta-kov-er," with the Euro dubya pronounced as a vee. Thanks for the game!

[@KF1]

Nice one

[@Qhsjahajw]

cool game

[@mediocreguitar5411]

I think it can help beginners more understand openings if you explain how this opening ties and other more commonly known opening such as the London or just the Queen's Gambit in general as they tend to transpose and end up in similar positions all the time and I can I can see how having knowledge can really help you as a queens pond opener

[@thetoastycroissant]

AHHHHH! Jerry posted a video!!!!!!

[@BREAKocean]

Didn't harry die from syphilis? And he played d4 in the 1800s what a chad

[@maapata]

Sadly my opponents rarely resign after I move and say its mate in 11 moves

[@corkimus]

What was more appealing about the g6 vs an h6 pawn cutting off the queen on the h file? I feel like I'm missing something for that move. Plus it attacks white's black bishop

[@mathskafunda4383]

It weakens king safety.

[@AroundWayOther]

7:10 beautiful

Glad to see the doughboy succeed in life

Actively liking these videos so more people can get some Jerry goodness

[@tuipaopao]

I just wonder why Ne4 is not played while it had the chance.

[@mediocreguitar5411]

If anyone could help answer this question at 418 in the video why do you Trade-off your white color Bishop when that 1 is technically stronger as it points right at the king's side I generally trade that night as a London player I would rather keep the bishops or trade-off the weak one rather than the strong 1

[@ZDTF]

I'm confused about that too

[@DAS_k1ishEe]

Wann see that mate in 11 though >D

[@ZDTF]

Hes pretty good at the Pillsbury attack Hmmmm Pillsbury good with Pillsbury Wai-

[@rmendeljacobs2832]

One correction: 10:45 you said we're still going to win the queen. But it's actually mate next move. The queen is irrelevant in that line.

[@davvves7977]

King to g8 and the queen is captured

[@arthurrtang9670]

It's not mate next move, Black's Knight on f6 hasn't been captured yet so it controls the h7 square preventing Qh7#.

[@tuipaopao]

Only checkmate after Nh7 blocks the check. It’s not checkmate if the Kg8 because the knight still defends h7 square.
