If you ❤️ my videos do

Great play in one of the greatest tournaments ever played: Zürich 1953

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Middle name Ionovich. No wonder his games were so charged with excitement.

[@davidblue819]

Danny. I think this is one of your best chess talks. You explained firmly for those of us who only had the 1953 Zurich book how the understanding of opening strategy and space has moved on since then, and why it is no longer a clever idea to try to play like this. But you also showed how this old game had great imagination, and fighting spirit on both sides, and patience, and endgame skill, and the human touch -- everything that makes chess the game we love so much.

I wonder if the implicit part of being "ordered to win" was...."or else..."

[@todddurham9414]

GM King, Miguel Najdorf also wrote a tournament book for Zurich 1953. Originally only in Spanish, Russell Enterprises brought out an English translation in 2012. Najdorf does criticize 23 e4 - twice! He does so in the game notes (he gives it a '?' and suggests "23 g4 to enable 24 Bh4, and if 23...Bxd4 24 Rxd4 Ne6 25 Rxd6 Nxf4 26 Qf3."), and in the round summary. In both cases he calls the move premature.

[@fixpontt]

i like how he is pronouncing Bronstein's name differently during the video :DDD

[@hubertsang7418]

Great analysis, i deeply regret selling this classic book, Zurich 1953, more than 30 years ago to make room for other books. And typical Reshevsky, not resigning in a lost position, remember the game against Bobby Fischer where Reshevsky lost the queen in the opening. Is is said that Bobby saw that trap in a russian magazine, and Reshevsky was not aware of it. In his early years, Bobby devoured all the chess literature in the quest for knowledge. Excellent work GM Daniel.

[@erlingurthorsteinsson7607]

In 1990 Bronstein visited Iceland and we had discussions for a week. (see Fischer Bronstein). He was inventor like me. This game is stunning. We played a match 6 games 30 min pr player. To my surprize he played Janish variation, I played d3 and got some advantage then he offered a draw. I accepted. Then he played d4 variation against Ruy draw again. 3 game I played Reti and got better pose perhaps winning N up in the end. He won against Old indian, draw in Q pawn opening, Final game QGAcc, I missed a draw he showed me. In speed chess he won all games 90% very draw like. This book explained by Bronstein is one of the best ever. .

[@williambunter3311]

Wow! What amazing calculations on both sides of the board. And thank you for your analysis, without which I would have missed so many points of interest and insight. I have happily subscribed.

[@DeathAbove86]

Great commentary Daniel!

[@davidblack2970]

There is a Bronstein game where he plays a seemingly innocuous move, something like Qb3, which turns out to be the only winning move with his King side attack. I would love to see that game again if I could only find it.

[@TandemKnights]

Daniel, I'd truly like to thank you for the great analysis you provide. In my estimation, you are the finest chess commentator out there and I look forward to watching all of your awesome content. Bronstein is such an interesting player, I use a variation of this KID system and have had really good success with it, of course, I am not a GM. I always tend to root for it and back players, like Radjabov, that breath new life into it.

[@AkshayShegaonkar]

This is one of the best games I've ever seen!

[@DG-ss2zd]

Great content

[@sam-lz6pi]

Back in the day, for a Soviet player who was "ordered to win" it was either beating the opponent or spending the rest of his life somewhere in a remote village in Syberia. Or worse...

[@chonde813]

What a joy to watch such a game commented by the great Daniel King

[@northshores7319]

Show the game Bronstein said he had to lose to Botvinnik in 1951 Match. I think he told Kapsarov or maybe Fischer that they should not be so upset about something for he told them had had to lose as directed by Soviet authorities.

[@DrVonHugenstein]

Reminds me a little of some of Boris gelfands games, "slowly slowly"

[@abhijeetgore310]

It would be great pleasure meeting you in real life😀
