What a strong comment

[@cinegraphics]

This is also the strongest comment according to top chess engines.

[@nuwandalton]

Polugaevsky used to complain: "I have won a zillion games against Nezhmetdinov, but people have never seen them. They only know that one"

[@agadmator]

+gabisubis True story :)

[@byrneiv]

I think it was nine or ten, to be precise. Yasser Seirawan tells a story about speaking to Lev, and recalls him saying that he'd beaten Rashid those nine or ten games, but he would trade all of them for the one game that he lost. I can't say I blame him! This game is an absolute beaut', and one of my all-time favourites. :)

[@johnstephen399]

One of the most beautiful queen sacrifices on record. How Nezhmetdinov managed to see all that when he played the stunning 24 .. Rxf4!! is just beyond me. Also, foreseeing 26 .. Bg7! needs some Picasso-level imagination.

[@saudullahesedullayewi8042]

He was genius exlorer

[@gonzalo4658]

He was extremely imaginative, and that’s an understatement.

[@mukmin01]

Picasso level? Picasso couldn't even reach 1500 if he ever played chess. He just did a shitty art and a number of famous shitty men worship his art.

[@donkbonktj5773]

He probably saw all the combinations when he played 22. Bxd5 23. cxd5 Nb4 24. Rh1 Rxf4!! The computer gave this move brilliant which is not suprising!

[@-Muhammad_Ali-]

My all time favorite player! He totally controlling the moves from early on is mind blowing. Chess has lost a lot since those times.

I love how Rashid always extracts the King from the back lines of the enemy defense, His play style is just wonderful.

Poor guy never really even had a chance to get any offense in. What a masterpiece, truly amazing how he thinks of these moves that are so far outside of the box. Very similar to Tal in that way.

[@dr.grogsaudiostories]

This is really good for showing how forcing your opponent to make decisions is powerful. White had to make a choice between 2/3 moves most turns, one of which wins or is drawing and the rest are at least moderately bad and piling up those gradually can lead to a crushing position like these. Brilliant!

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

This is one of the most beautiful games of the probably best attacking player who has ever lived. If Nezhmetdinov was a more consistent player too he would have been a GM but his play, apart from games like this one where Polugaevsky couldn't escape the attack, didn't allow him to win important games. The fact that Tal and N. worked together when Tal prepared for the title match against Botvinnik shows Tal's appreciation - and that's indeed remarkable and highly unusual because N. was "only" an IM. That makes him at least the best IM ever. @ agadmator: Do you know by chance which GM norm N. couldn't achieve?

[@TheHigherSpace]

politics

[@bleach4038]

A year late but it wasn’t because his play was inconsistent, he played at the grandmaster level but during his time there were very few opportunities in the Soviet Union to achieve GM norms, and Nezhmetdinov was not allowed to leave the country.

Nevertheless, what always does surprise, how some "stockfish experts" dare to criticize or even express deficiency about a masterpiece like this one, not understanding the time and not having in mind the past and reality, when instead of keyboard and PC, the power of creation came into being just from a piece of paper and inspiration.

Nezhmitdinov is so underrated...I know all the chess enthusiasts know who he is, but he's not regarded as mythically as Petrosian or Tal (my other two favorite players of all time), certainly not like Karpov or Kasparov.

It's not like en passant is a secret move or anything... 😂

This is the guy that was never awarded the grandmaster title. But thats alright because the truth is that they didnt have a title grand enough to describe this degree of genius.

5:55 if rashid moved knight e5 to c6, it would win him a pawn, and possibly a rook. knight c6, pawn captures on c6, knight b4 to c6 captures pawn, rashid has to move his king, bishop g7 takes bishop b2 and attacks the rook on a1. sacrifices his knight, but competely demolishes whites position, and destroys the double bishop combination, while moving the king further into middle of the board, while both rooks and queen aren't that developed.
