Like Rubinstein before him, Smyslov saw himself primarily as an artist of the chessboard. Smyslov didn't just aim for victory in chess, but also for an ideal that he called "truth". He sometimes referred to this truth as "the triumph of logic". However vaguely, he insisted that truth must exist in chess, and must be just as attainable as in all the other arts. Smyslov always made it clear that to him chess was an art. He also maintained that his chess ideal derived from his wider artistic tastes, particularly in music. A man of broad culture, he was a gifted musician, whose rich baritone voice, often in demand at off-the-board moments in international chess events, once earned him an audition at the Bolshoi Opera. Smyslov once wrote that he most admired a musical ideal that reflected "strict beauty and harmony, spontaneity and elegance, the faultless intuition of the art- ist, the absolute mastery of technique and therefore complete independence from it." To Smyslov, such notions applied not just to music, but also to chess.

A few years ago I checked-in in a hotel in Zagreb and saw a picture and a letter from Fischer. Besides the picture there were pictures of many celebrities. I asked the front desk man why Fischer's picture was there and he showed me a book with the autographs of all the player of the tournament you are analyzing! They were all there in the same hotel (I do not remember the name).

I’d like to see more Smyslov games. There’s never a lot of discussion about him as a world champion

[@shadowclasher-xs1ch]

Whenever I see a Smyslov games, the subtle manuevers are so intresting to watch. Also, he played for a very long time, and played many different generations.

[@leonvalente6389]

It’s amazing how agadmator reveals all the different lines that would end the game on the spot basically from move 6 and nearly ever move onwards, because by demonstrating the threats that the GMs end up averting by the narrowest of margins he really shows how these games are sculptures created from the same marble as all of our own games but we don’t always see the depth cause most lower level players probably would’ve fallen for the last 20 continuations and traps that DIDN’T happen in the game analyzed because they were spotted and defended. The eventual final masterpiece of pieces on the board is a sculpture we simply don’t have the vision to see yet but it’s clear that they are simply chiseling away getting neater and neater, perfecting the edges and curves until the both sides have made sculpture so damn perfect it usually gets draws or magic. The moral of the story is agadmator’s analysis showcases not only why the games immortal but how they evolve from such natural and seemingly mundane openings that every player tends to encounter

[@jeffersonthomas1269]

The G rook to G6 appears to also stop the attack at the end. Please Agad can you tell me why that would not work? If white used the bishop to attack the rook by f7 blacks other rook could pin the white bishop against the white queen.If the bishop went to e4 ...that would cause trouble...I am not sure what would be best for black then...I am sure you Agad can tell me why I am wrong...right???

[@0wenfox]

Great game!

[@dn-anonymous]

but at 15:00 - surely after white plays Rf7, the game continues? As in, it isn't lost for white by any means, it seems. Black has to give up the queen i think - then it looks rather messy, but white's attack is still going, it seems, though i can't find a breakthrough.

[@mattiasacoustic2058]

Could you review some Leonid Stein games? Stein and Tal are my favorites for their creative strategies.

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

When someone signs a photo and writes over a person, it is traditionally that same person signing. You suggest the signature might be the photographer, maybe. But since it is on Smyslov, my guess it is Smylovs signature.

[@kdhorvath68]

I see a Tal game and i'm hooked. I wonder what kind of record Magnus would of had against the magician

[@jamhamtime1878]

At 14:35 What if you do QB6 or QB8? If white plays the same, after BxG8 black can checkmate by QB1 Genuinely curious on what white would do in that situation.... seems it would be just fine as well

[@SamuelKristopher]

So when he offered to find the move, I was just like, bet it's queen to d7, dunno why, I'm shit at chess, but I bet it's d7. Agadmators: if you found this move, you can defend against Tal, it's Qd7 me: hold my beer, I'm going to dig Tal up and challenge him to play chess

[@ananthakumarrajamani3625]

And @12:28, in case Tal captures black queen at d7, what stops Smyslov from playing Bxd7? Why should the black bishop on the light square allow the white bishop on the light square go unpunished? go One rook vs 2 bishops end-game (Here also)

[@jurjenvanderhoek316]

The photo that you show could be never of this game, as you suggest. The position board on the photo shows a black pawn on c6, but Smyslov's first move is c5 ...

[@harsh3608]

What about Qb6 in the critical position not allowing the rook to move from the 1st rank as Qb1 will be checkmate....doesn't that stop Tal's idea as well?
