Rashid Nezhmetdinov was a super GM as far as I am concerned. Any man that won his countries championship 5 TIMES, and beat EVERYBODY who was anybody REPEATEDLY like Botvinnik and Tal, OMG IS A SUPER GM IN MY BOOK!

[@Noob-rg9lv]

He also beat spassky and lilienthal

[@12jswilson]

Yeah. This wasn't a 5 time champion of a smaller or less prestigious country. He was 5 time champion of the USSR where he had to beat Botvinnick, Tal, Spassky, Petrosian, Lilienthal, etc. Sure he had a negative record against a ton of GMs, but he was easily GM worthy and only Soviet politics kept him from the title since he was Muslim and from Kazakhstan.

[@kevinmurphy4595]

He achieved a plus score in the 20 games he played against world champions !

[@9181shreyasbhatt]

Now a days its hard to find players like Nezhmetdinov, Now all most everyone uses engines to optimise their play and the beauty of chess is getting lost in the computer era. Now a days players like to close the position and are afraid to open lines. ......

[@90blacknight]

The positional queen sac is my favourite. Nezhmet took 45 minutes to decide on that move. That was a serious game in the Russian team championships. Nobody today would have the nads to sac the Queen in the opening like that, in such an important game.

[@clecklass]

Another great vid in this series. I wonder how many fantastic combinations have been missed over the years by players who didn't have the vision of players like Nezhmetdinov.

[@hellothere165]

Nezhmetdinov some time plays moves the engine don't like it and win the game this is incredible. he is a legend.

[@aklar_45]

this is so entertaining to watch, fantastic job KC

[@Attlanttizz]

Enjoyed it very much, thanks KC!

[@Gregoryt700]

This isn't chess, this is rocket science!

[@PerteTotale]

"nobody sees combinations like Rashid"

[@harKazoid86ShredderC-37]

I love these recent collaborations of games you've put together that I've seen (this and Kasparov's ones) I can see how much you love the game and I'm always happy to see a new video by you in my subscriptions please keep them coming! :)

[@richardfredlund3802]

'drag and drop' combo :).... I really like this terminology.

[@Yankee-g4f]

Best information chess channel ever cheers

[@BillyStewartGuitar]

Easily the best non GM ever!

[@kojiattwood]

Nezhmetdinov vs Polugaevsky is perhaps my all-time favourite game--what a masterpiece!

[@DonFreeq]

Awesome play!

[@12jswilson]

Polugaevsky wasn't a fan. He was something like +12-1=4 all-time against Nezhmetdinov, but people only remember the -1.

[@ahmadshokry5945]

@@12jswilson he said something like he would exchange his 12 wins for Rashid's single win as it's the only remembered game :D

[@thegnomeidentity]

great stuff what a genius

[@MattSVK1]

Great vid! Thanks you for your instructive analysis & walkthrough :) Your term "out of this world chess" is pretty accurate, even computers can't see the brilliant first sac 12.Qxf6!!, which quickly became my all time favorite chess move ever :) Nezhmetdinov was really a genius

[@kojiattwood]

Thank you, KC!

[@poseidonperez7989]

The first position remaind me of a Judit Polgar game vs Angelova, is not quite the same but has some elements very similar to consider.

[@Calinn86]

can someone explain if at 12:05 (black to move) this would work for black: instead of Bg7, pawn push to b5, with the idea, after white moves, black to check with c5, to which white seems forced to take en passant then black mates with knight from E5 to c6. could b5 work to achieve that or is there any defense for white? cause i can't see it, i mean after b5 what can white do ?

[@Attlanttizz]

"It"s usually not a good idea to take your King for a walk" :D lol

[@TheSLK66]

Unless your last name is Petrosian XD

[@PeteWatts48]

Good stuff KC but I'm not sure you can count. In the first game Black is never Queen down (he has two pieces for it) and in one variation you give White as "The Exchange" up - it's actually two pawns!

[@moldovankm]

chess haven't known such magician till now

[@aaryjan]

In the first of these games I would have loved to see some real actual checkmate spring out of this here or there.. About the third game, Knight C4 (@ 23:53) seems like the decisive week move. Why didn't Tal at least play C6 with that Knight, where it would have been both preventing Black's black Bishop from coming to that D4 field and it also would have been blocking the diagonal Black's Queen is on! That way at least he would have offered some counter play..

[@-Muhammad_Ali-]

23:47 i guessed that on instict. )))

[@jaystarr6571]

I told myself that I was going to look to sacrifice a knight in every game I played online this week. It has lead to some interesting victories so far...and some losses.

[@ilikecommenting6849]

Jay Starr how are you doing now? Still playing chess?

[@sugarkang]

Oh heck yes.

[@elmoro78]

Signed in on your website yesterday. Now I can see your face all the time at my email box.

[@hellothere165]

in 40:14 he can't take the knight becouse of f1 kween

[@BlackMadKing]

Nezhmetdinov was Tal's mentor!

[@Dunebug1985]

I think Rxc3 is better in the last game...

[@CGoody564]

umm... koblentz trained tal.... second would be a more fitting title
