06:38 Petrosian's Brilliant Concept

[@Haufpunk]

Dawg, really appreciate how you focus on the classics. You can learn a ton from those guys.

[@amosdraak3536]

Yes. Much nicer than people covering all the modern games all the time

[@TheBebelehaut]

Oh No....not a a dawg at all!

[@VidaBlue317]

​@@TheBebelehautcat?

[@andreasandre4756]

Very educative...

[@BtotheC-bj9vz]

Although I’ve seen so many openings so many times, really appreciate you discussing the rationale behind moves.

[@cosmosgato]

The exchange sacrifice for purely positional color domination is beyond human! And let’s not forget Sammy immediately recognizing how profound and good the concept was.

[@Hossam_Riad]

One time I heard a statement that I've greatly been admiring: "One can learn from a game played by Petrosian, more than he could've learnt from seven games of other GMs. This giant, really, had a very sharp and far sighted strategic vision.

[@2Oldcoots]

Wonderful insights! Thank You Sir.

[@emranahmed5711]

Ironman --- probably the hardest player to beat as he always played for a draw & one of the best defenders of alltime.

[@edg531]

Very nicely presented. Thank you!

[@banzaiburger9589]

Dating myself here, but I had the honor of playing Reshevsky in a simul shortly before he died (I lost). That guy’s mind was sharp as a tack right up to the end.

[@benjamininkorea7016]

You sound exactly like Agent Smith from the Matrix. Looking forward to more vids!

[@andreasandre4756]

Many chess players admitted that Petrosyan saw the game from the very beginning. 70 years have passed, and only now can a modern program see the hidden power of this step. So this once again proves that Petrosian played with complete understanding, as befits a modern chess program. Maybe Petrosian had the power of Stockfish? Who knows?

[@homerp.hendelbergenheinzel6649]

the problem is that a human will inevitably make an error at some point, while stockfish does not. it would be nice if stockfish could provide "his thoughts" behind the way he plays.

[@reem_ice]

Great professional edits. Showing the arrows and attacked squared to support your speech

[@odinakauduma-stupendousmat749]

I really didn't see the essence of the move until you showed knight e7 then Nd5...what a splendid idea....I'm impressed 😂

[@homeuser1478]

A very nice game, of course, although I must admit that when I saw it for the first time in the book, I did not understand anything. Luckily, now I can recognize the position before Re6 any time. Will you do a follow-up with Gligoric's (?) Rf4 in the King's Indian please?

[@eduardsluzhevsky6265]

Thanks!

[@chessdawg]

Thank you so much for your kindness.

[@m.p.871]

Hi sir thx. For your nice analysis

[@p.jhodeflea789]

I appreciate your choice of showing Petrossian's artistic strategy. Prophylaxy at the highest level.

[@hata6290]

Actual goated game

[@emanvans]

Would of loved to see an endgame

[@edmundasjaunishkis]

Hello, 9:05 in my opinion: after Bd3 white can play R:d3 cd and Q:d3. If ba white can play Ra3

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

Exchange sacrifice: Rooks are very powerful on an open board but are clumsy in middle games - where they can then be worth less than a Bishop or a Knight.

[@noegojimmy]

Even myself as a poor blitz player do this... Hell with my rook if opponent's minor piece is a thorn in my pupil. Sometimes I do exchange sac to preserve my very active bishop...

[@feyyaznegus3599]

I think this video fails to stress enough, how stupidly placed the whites pieces were after the exchange sacrifice, thus justifying it. A deep move in this position, it needed a deeper explanation.

[@edmundasjaunishkis]

9,03 Hello, in my opinion : after Bd3 white can play R:d3! Petrosian's idea! And cd Q:d3 white is good. If ba Ba3+/-

[@Nickname_42]

All the Moves before made that Move possible.

[@zacharysherry2910]

Sup Dawg!

[@FM-yq8yfXYZ]

👍🔥👏

[@cosmosgato]

I could this Pertrosian guy becoming a world champion 🙂

[@williamblake7386]

hey cool story

[@paulgoogol2652]

Hell nah. Petrosian was never better but managed drawing as a notorious drawing player. He was the Giri of his time.

[@mkn2929]

I believe Morphy sac'd the exchange quite frequently. That would mean Petrosian did not introduce the idea to chess. Please advise. Thanks.

[@rg7535]

A positional sacrifice is different from a tactical sacrifice. Sacrificing the exchange to win a couple of pawns, or because you're removing one of the defenders of the king, leading to a potential checkmate, is not the same as sacrificing the exchange to remove a strong piece from the board for long-term compensation.

[@ChrisTopher-nr1vb]

Thanks

[@bdpv025]

​@@rg7535That sac is also positional no? Morphy did that to bring his last piece into the game the h1 rook

[@rg7535]

@@bdpv025 If you’re referring to his most famous game, A Night at the Opera, no, it was an entirely tactical sacrifice. He sac’ed the exchange to give mate with the rook on (if I’m not mistaken) d8.

[@bdpv025]

I tried to emulate Petrosian but his games are weird for me

[@reidflemingworldstoughestm1394]

Nobody likes the end game

[@bumbaclat_11]

Hmmm is the guy narrating ai? Firdt 5 seconds i was sus

[@AlkhaidarAbdulpatta]

8 yr old Reshevsky is much stronger than 8 yr old Fischer

[@YKLWEF]

Well, THAT's anticlimactic! After all that buildup about what a wonderful game this was, it turns out to end in a draw.

[@leedsmanc]

Never watch cricket

[@Bob-ob2ec]

Your analysis is too fast. I have to play at 0.5 speed to follow

[@Nobody-df4is]

Nothing wrong with Tigran. I do not know if this was groundbreaking. What is groundbreaking is Tigran L. Petrosian. What an embarrassment.

[@user-se1si4ct1n]

This game did not change the way chess is played. Petrosian's positional exchange sacrifice was nothing new. Ståhlberg and Keres give the move an exclamation mark but not a word of comment in their tournament book. Lasker's positional queen sacrifice against Euwe in Zürich 1934 is much more impressive.

[@midnighttrain-jz2my]

Cool move, but never do this at home.

[@nutbastard]

I can't understand why they agreed to a draw at that juncture. Can someone illuminate me?
