5:58 "Sokolov was concerned that people who watch the game on KZbin would complain that he resigned too early" -- That was hilarious Mato

[@BlizzardHydralisk]

:o it is Mato, in the flesh!! By the way, thanks Mato: through practice, reading, and your videos, when I started chess I was 900, now a month later I am 1600. Thank you!

[@olasek7972]

Mato, greetings from Oakland, CA, I am an avid viewer of your videos. Thanks for you contribution to chess education.

[@MrLimon27]

Yes! x3 I saw the whole idea after Bxh7, even the move itself, of course. This really helps. Thank you, Mato.

[@Narrowcros]

Greek gift for Sokolov, Korchnoi has always been known as very strong super GM

[@coosoorlog]

He still resigned too early.

[@nigelstanford4]

didn't know they had KZbin in 1993 lol

[@perul]

I saw it all - but Q-f4, that makes the difference.

[@madokakaname471]

thanks Mato im 1700 in Chess.com thanks to you hehe i know its not alot but i was 800 before lol

[@deathnightpwnage123]

To be honest, it was very easy to see the bishop sacrifice... Then when you see that you can check with the queen and then bring the knight, well... The winning side was evident...

[@anonymousunknown4775]

Why does Mato love to wear black shirt?

[@Zrb1te]

very strong

[@HannahMontanaPromo]

Mato why you always wear black?
