He sacs his Queen on move 7. At 14 years old. You have to see this.

Sometimes you can tell about an upcoming legend just from one game. I think this was the case.
the game is
Eero Einar Book vs. A. Hiidenheimo
Helsinki (junior tournament): 1924

Dang that was deep

[@SveinbjornHvarflod]

@@scarletevans4474 No, but they quite often just hang her due to lack of attention or skill, and this kid is just a legend

[@SveinbjornHvarflod]

@@scarletevans4474 I think you're misunderstanding me, I'm not defending anyone, I'm not a lawyer, you're free to roast whoever you want (or you can), that boy is a legend, no quotes, no questions asked, it's not an opinion, it's a fact, and I never said HE shouldn't have a queen, I said 14 year old kids usually do hang their queens due to lack of attention or skill, which is completely different. But hey, you also have the right of getting offended for no reason at all, that's absolutely up to you :D

[@warehousedave7937]

That's not a sac, it's a tactical queen trade

[@TheDigiWorld]

I really started playing chess at 14 and here is this amazing player finding such awesome combos at 14... Would love to see more of his games

[@user-br2py3nd3u]

By move 7 I’m still doing book moves but this guy just gets brilliants and greats…

[@B682]

Book moves is better than blunders i would rather have 7 book moves than 7 blunders in the start of the game it's possible

[@user-br2py3nd3u]

what i mean is that my oppos always know theory and dont blunder straight away lol@@B682

[@unknownblaze2526]

[@yeahmans]

@@B682 you cant get 7 blunders in the start, maybe like 6

[@brhubruh3872]

he isn't serious he just means that he blunders a lot in the beginning@@yeahmans

[@tykemorris]

Early queen sacrifice was only the warm-up. Not bothering to capture a queen for free. Castle check. Chasing the king to the far corner of the board by force. Multiple options for beautiful checkmates. Black never even moved a piece on his queen side. Incredible game even if he was 40 years older.

[@akilansundaram2181]

Just like Mikhail Tal's games.

[@mcyeetail9549]

I don't care

[@bigpizza5319]

He really wanted the king to see his horse at home.

[@vasileiosmorossidis6857]

It's like the battles in medieval era and before, where the army isolated the enemy king with it's personal guards, and killed him. Beautiful checkmate but respect also to the opponent that continued playing instead of resigning.

[@tomnetherton9100]

bro hes a prodigy! on move 7...like what!!!!, future GM i think! wow!!

[@patrickrussell6216]

Great explanation, That certainly humbled me watching such brilliance.

[@user-pv3br7mg2q]

This is highly informative, thank you for making these educational videos.

[@melanycait4763]

This game reminds us that there are some brilliant chess players in the early times... Few were recognized and some were buried to oblivion...

[@user-kh6xl4yg1j]

Love these old games; they really show how to attack & are excellent material for developing one’s tactical sense

[@groussac]

Eero Einar Böök (9 February 1910 - 7 January 1990). Probably would have gained more recognition if not for WW II. Yeah, we'd like to see his game against Alekhine.

An absolutely beautiful game played there. The queen was majestic and the checkmate sequence was wow. Love the video Zach and thanks for showing us a game which all of us probably haven't seen before ❤️

[@timchapman5553]

Once the king is in that far to enemy territory the end is not that far off but if the king finds sanctuary the tables can be turned

I love your videos and your attitude man

[@Ammiad]

When this 14 y/o does it its "a brilliant move" and "he's such a genius prodigy" but when i do it it's "a stupid blunder" and "i should either quit chess or learn how to stop hanging my queen"

[@Almagells]

This is all book moves!

[@Ulin32]

Great game, great explanation. How did you find this game?

[@2complex43]

In the opening mr. Book played a lot of book moves

[@woodenfences]

That one was fantastic, and fantastically told. Thanks! Now, give us the game against Alekhine! :)

[@Trizzer89]

O-O-O+ is always mandatory

[@nameiskarim]

Devastating brev. Just devastating.

[@ujjwalprakash3170]

That looks like a TAL game

[@AutPen38]

When white plays e5 at 2:44, it's marked as a mistake. I think it's better to take the pawn (with pawn or queen) or bring the bishop out to attack the queen. Black would end up with many trapped pieces and pins because of mate threats. (The black knight is in a really silly place trying to stop the bishop getting to f7, so you don't need to attack it with the pawn. It's effectively dead already).

[@AutPen38]

I mean d5.

[@aethergaming7934]

Craaazy.

[@mpperfidy]

Loved the call out to Levy. You're more interesting to view than his normal presentation, which is not nothing. He's good. You're better.

[@Ephraim225]

[@Tondy3]

Babe wake up, chessnerd just uploaded.

[@nikkari40brawlstars19]

Yes! Something from Finland

[@rcar321]

When this 14 year old kid sacrifices his queen, he is an 'upcoming legend.' When I 'sacrifice' my queen, i'm a 'completely idiot' and i need to 'quit chess.'

[@TommiNummelin]

Great video! Name pronunciation was completely off the rails, though.😅 Eero is somewhat close to "aero". For the öö in Böök, it's close to 'u' in British "further".

[@thechessnerd]

Yes, I have been correct by a great chess historian on this one and will pronounce better (certainly now that Böök is phonetically “Beuk”). I have a question - aero pronounced “airo” or “a-e-ro” ? thanks!

[@tapatarv]

"airo" is close. The actual wovel sound doesn't occur in English, but think of e in "let" and stretch it to roughly double length. Or if you speak German, it's like "eh" in "sehr".

[@raoulkhaleb7258]

How do I explain that I got checkmated on a2 from e8 ???

[@BoomBox263]

I was drunk I played bad for fun My opponent was a master This game is actually not real and my opponent invented it to defame me I let my little brother play in my name I played this game without my glasses and I couldn't see well I was late for an important meeting so I blitzed out my moves without thinking I let my opponent win This is a joke game I played this game so I couldn't move any pieces until move 10 My opponent was cheating I wanted to make someone happy so I let them checkmate me This is my first chess game My opponent paid me so he could win the last game and the tournament I was really sick and this badly affected my skills I played this game badly for a scientific experiment I was in a coma and lost a lot of my memory and this was my first game after

6:00 but it's not piece up after White takes the queen with Bishop, Black Bishop h6 check the king have to move and Rook can simply capture that bishop

[@tervrip3456]

Warning: I've been sacking my queen on move 7 for weeks. It doesn't work...

[@skynews1574]

Unbelievable!😮❤

[@pasqualecirigliano4712]

Beautiful game! We are all waiting for the game against Alekhine ❤️

[@johns7530]

If I was playing this as white, I would have gotten nervous once black king took white light squared bishop, and doubted ability to force mate. Taking the queen right away would still have been awesome tactic... skewering right after sacrificing queen, and forcing black king forward is great in and of itself. Unbelievable that anybody could see that far ahead and see they could force mate, while losing light squared bishop no less.

[@bobopaapoe1774]

Hi, Finn here, his name is actually Böök and it's not pronounced anything like "Book". But otherwise a great vid of one of the best Finnish players of all time :)

[@thechessnerd]

Yes it’s more like “Beuk” correct?

[@sanjayjoshi8363]

Nice beautiful

[@Graded33]

It s not a queen sac if you can take it back by force

[@jdoe27]

In serious need of some book moves. I just blundered my last piece of toilet paper and I have to take a shit. It´s night

[@jimstrube294]

Beautiful game.

[@KingOfTheJuice666]

7:24 You’re completely misreading this position, and missing forced mate. King b6 is forced mate by Bishop e3 (not the rook to b5 move you looked at). King forced to c6, light squared bishop to b5 is mate.

[@TheJoacojoaco]

What about Bc5 or c5 instead of “forced” Kc6?

[@KingOfTheJuice666]

@@TheJoacojoacoBc5 ends in mate anyway after the bishop is taken by white’s dark sq bishop. Or, Knight c to a4? I’m pretty certain there’s a mate either way c5 I didn’t even think of, to be honest. Wouldn’t it still be mate though? Take with rook and move knight next move for checkmate?
