Gyula "Julius" Breyer (30 April 1893 Budapest - 9 November 1921) was a Hungarian chess player and 1912 Hungarian national champion.
In 1912 Breyer won the Hungarian championship in Temesvar. In a 1920 tournament in Berlin he finished first (+6−2=1) ahead of Efim Bogoljubov, Savielly Tartakower, Richard Réti, Géza Maróczy, and Siegbert Tarrasch. Breyer had a plus record against Max Euwe (later world champion).
In 1921 Breyer set a new blindfold chess record by playing 25 games simultaneously. He also edited Szellemi Sport, a magazine devoted to chess puzzles, and composed at least one brilliant retrograde analysis study.
Heart disease cut short Breyer's promising chess career. He died in 1921 at the age of 28 in Bratislava. He was buried in Bratislava and after exhumation in 1987, was reburied in the Kerepesi Cemetery in Budapest.

[@yotamshohat9394]

You forgot to tell the story behind this move: At the time when this game was played, there was a rule that said that if you had touched a piece that has no legal moves, you must move with your king. So basically what happened is that Breyer saw that Bh4+ messes up his plan, but he didn't want to play Kf1 just like that, because it would seem suspicious and his opponent will most likely figure out the trick behind this mysterious move, so he "accidently" touched his pawn on e5. Of course his opponent demanded him to move with his king and then played a normal move, as he thought he had just earned a free turn, and the rest is history.

It's immense to see how GMs think. When agadmator plays out all these scenarios that could happen if a certain piece is moved, then refreshes the computer and you're taken back to the actual moment in time, and he says something like "this is what they saw", it's like damn.

[@trollking202]

The moves are played out in various degrees of freedom giving the grandmaster a deeper insight into the position after the moves are played and whether there is material or spatial advantage to close out the middle game and go into the end game. A pawn may be all that's needed

Cant find a better chess channel than yours. I would even pay to watch your vides. Amazing content. Much appreciated. 🙏

[@DaulphinKiller]

FYI Stockfish9 infinite intelligence tells me the following: 24... Kg7 is the losing move for black, since 24... Kg8 would have given black a draw, since white could not have any longer given a check with his c1 bishop. I love your videos, and I don't think engines are so helpful for producing massively entertaining and dynamic analysis such as yours. That being said, I think it would still be cool if for such games if you would always quote when and what is the *first* move of the best refutation as well as what really was the *first* losing move :) Also, @16:47 you say that 35.e6 is a very nice move by white, but it is actually a losing move in theory because black can then simply exchange his awkward c8 Bishop for that pawn, unlocking his position (instead of 35... Qe7). That game would then continue with black also giving up his other blocking h4 bishop in order to develop his knight, thereby finally freeing up his rook, leading to a normal endgame with black having an extra knight. In fact, the best white could have done there is to settle for a draw by repetitively checking black's king after having exchanged his rook for the bishop with 35. Rxh4+. It is a bit awkward for me to make myself a parrot of stockfish9 here (I am myself a very average chess player), but I thought the above points may be of interest to the youtube "readers" ;)

[@fritzvold9968]

@DaulphinKiller Thx, the additional research, if not always perfect, is appreciated by the viewers/commenters; it does not distract from the beauty of the games and the comment section is available as an optional resource, not a distraction from the video anyway, and can save me time when checking out chess positions and analysis as well.

#suggestion Another deep tactical calculation from the pre-WW1 era is Janowski vs. Tarrasch, Ostend 1905, where Janowski, a strong GM of that day who (along with Tarrasch) had played WC Em. Lasker for his World Title, allowed Tarrasch to trap his Rook on the seventh rank by blocking its retreat with a Knight, thereby giving Janowski's trapped Rook an open shot on the now semi-open 7th rank into Tarrasch's K-side fortress. Somewhat reminiscent of Breyer's decoy/bait maneuver except this was a subtle lure to get the opponent to move his N off the rank, as opposed to Breyer's subtle maneuver to ensure a vital tempo during the ensuing attack. Also the opening was an exemplary exposition of the London System (ECO: D02) and was given as an Illustrative Game in Andy Soltis' opening Treatise on The London System.
