3 Pieces Sacrificed For A Tal Style Attack | Esserman vs Gukesh: Cannes 2017

[@mcronrn]

Esserman wrote a great book on the Smith-Morra gambit - Mayhem in the Morra! 🙏

[@zachsoto7621]

Watching Esserman pop off on the white side of a Smith-Morra gambit is one of the greatest experiences I've had as a chess fan. Also, I love your commentary. The cadence and timber of your voice are really nice to listen to.

Another amazing game by Sir Mato. Thank you for the old board Sir you respect fun's choice indeed.

[@giovannicappello2916]

Esserman made a similar masterpiece vs Loek Van Wely in 2011, it also deserve a your lecture Mato!

I love a Tal insanity sacrifice-type number. My heart rises to the skill of it all, and then sinks to the realisation of my own ineptitude. Great chess though

[@sophietheophiedog]

Well put.

[@АрсенийПавлов-ю2н]

Fantastic attack, thanks Mato!

[@secretsquirrel5566]

That was amazing indeed. Thanks for posting this.

[@MarkM2023]

Imcredible game! I wonder how many moves did Esserman see in advance.when hr made that knight move?

[@betulaobscura]

Very cool game! Reminded me Tal's games...

[@flyingcod14]

Lovely game.

[@oluwaseyidolapo3544]

Nice game

[@mcronrn]

Oddly, every move in this game, right up to the Queen promotion, was played twice on Lichess. 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏽👏

[@richardfredlund3802]

both by Esserman most likely, he wrote the book on Smith Morra

[@jeffreyindri]

[@elmerfrejoles98]

This the way chess should be played taking risks with sacrifices and the right continuation in all variations equals victory.

[@annamaycuenca7190]

Awesome

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

Wow, he's possessed by Tal during this game haha

[@LT-kl4wu]

Very brave to play the black pieces of a Smith-Morra against Essermann

[@musaarif3126]

Amazing attack

[@pukulu]
