Petrosian v Pachmann Bled 1961 is the game where he sacs the queen and chases the opponent's king across the board in case any one is interested.

"Chess is hard." Exchange sacs are awesome, the thing to look for if you're a B player and want to improve. My lone victory against a master hinged on an exchange sac on e4. It was G/60, my regret is that no scorecard was required so the game is now forever lost in the aether; stuck on the surface of a distant black hole.

@10:30 why take back the f pawn with the g pawn and not the Bishop? Is it just that the pawn prevents either knight from going to e4? gxf5 breaks kingside pawn structure and locks in the Bishop, seems counterintuitive to me (then again I'm lowly rated)
@zevialtus4757 Жыл бұрын
i think it's to keep the knights off of e4. also then black can play e4 to improve the dark-square bishop

Petrosian is my favorite master to watch and, learn. His method is fundamentally sound. He stuck to the basics, logic. He was the master of taking what he was given, hisnopening and midgame was simple enough to alter as needed. Petrosian was not presumptive, he secured his position, nullified the opponents offense and undermined the opponents position. Petrosian had the best games to study for someone beginning chess.

Fischer claimed people were cheating whenever he suffered a setback. The most ridiculous example was in his game with Botvinnik. He was probably winning, and blew the advantage. After Fischer's blunder, Botvinnik walked up to his team captain, Abramov, and said something. Fischer then claimed that Botvinnik was getting illegal assistance. According to Eliot Hearst, the very idea that Botvinnik would even listen to advice from a player so inferior to himself was patently absurd, and no protest was filed. Botvinnik's version of the story is that he walked up to Abramov, and said one word: "Draw", which is exactly the kind of thing you'd expect a player to say to his Team Captain at that point. The captain needs to know how every game is going, to be able to tell others whether to play for a win or a draw. But I don't think Fischer claimed anyone was cheating in this cycle. There was no need to, as he had no setbacks that needed explaining away.

Nobody ever had a harder road to the World Championship Match than Spassky as he had to beat really good players in matches on his way to the top in 66 and 69. If we had that system in play today I think it would really be a show of just how strong Magnus is. Spassky was really stronger than Fischer in the 60's. If Fischer would have been able to face the type of players Spassky had to play on a yearly basis he would have matured sooner. He might of thought of living in the Soviet Union just to get the playing experience. He did visit there when he was a teen but was rude and was told to leave. Besides the Cold War really was an highly antagonistic era for even Chess players. Rueben Fine did not play in the 1948 Match to determine Alekhine's successor because he said he did not want to waste three months of his life watching the Russsians throwing games to each other.
