If I remember my history correctlt, von Bardeleben did not resign - he simply put on his coat and left the playing hall, losing on time - poor sportsmanship, to be sure!

I believe Kasparov pulled the same trick against Radjabov in 2003.

​@@horrortackleharry yes, Fischer did it as well after losing against Ludek Pachmann. Fischer was winning but couldnt find a way to convert it and lost. An interesting game because at some point all 4 center squares were occupied by white pawns. 😂

I am enjoying these focused extracts from longer interviews and when you went through the roll call of the event’s competitors it was a great reminder of the rich talent that lay the foundations of the modern game. As an aside, what were the time controls like back then? Thank you for the great content, yet again. Tim

Indeed an old favourite game. Thanks Daniel.

Wonderful! Ty DK!

[@ДенисЮденков-ь5ж]

One of the best chess games!

[@ganesankrishnamurthy8658]

Beautiful game. ❤

Old Classic games are the best games. :) At 8:15, instead of c6, I think critical line is Kf7, that was what black always intended to do. I always thought the idea was to exchange on e7 and then Rxc7+, in which white is down an exchange but gets Rook on 7th and some pawns. But now that I look at it, maybe Qc4+ is what black was afraid of? Looks awkward.

If Anderssen had Immortal and Evergreen games then Steinitz had "Bardeleben". A game known by all if you simply say one word.

You’d be surprised, in my experience younger generations are often ignorant of chess history!

If the answer is "9V" what is the question? ... answer below .... Herr Willhelm - do you pronounce your name with a "w"?

Chess books are too expensive!

[@roqsteady5290]

They are very niche and don’t sell in huge quantities. So they have to be expensive to be worth producing.

[@PowerPlayChess]

For all the information distilled and advice offered, a book represents excellent value. And I know how much work went into writing this book :)

[@hylen26]

@@PowerPlayChess I don't question that. I am certain it's an excellent book. I'm on a budget and I needed to whine. My comment was not really directed at this particular book in any case. Keep up the great work sir.

[@djgresearch]

I like videos but (in general) there's nothing like books in terms of the quantity of information for the money. If you use a book, try to set up the positions on a board. The ones that Daniel highlights are, I'm sure, excellent, and I do have his Kalashnikov book, but if you're on a budget then you could think in terms of older books. They were highly popular at one time and there are dozens of great older ones, particularly on strategy. In the 1980s, the main UK booksellers would have a whole wall of chess books and occasionally, a GM giving displays. Anyway, keywords work well on ebay if you're struggling financially.
