It's hard to believe Nezhmetdinov could be pounded like that! Awesome game by Geller!

[@Cyrpto_Engineer]

This is horrible he is my hero in chess i don't believe this is rashid the play is not gud maybe he have something this time

[@radhitawidyasmara2089]

With tal, keres, rashid and geller it was the golden moment of chess

[@MNaz-yy8bn]

Haha! I love the occasionally casual jokes that Mato sometimes used to make during his intense and serious elaboration of the game. It softens the tension of watching the intense battle of wits between these two powerful chess megaminds. Thanks Mato for making my day!

[@sivaramann3730]

A real entertainment the way you explain precisely and interestingly

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

I loved especially the RF9! 🙂 Thank you for this interesting game!

[@scorpioz78]

Geller plays in a very fluid style. But this move order of rooks and queen is not seen often

[@cafe6am]

Amasing game by Geller. He crushed Nezhmetdinov by playing in his style. There is also a spectacular game where Rashid wins against Geller, i think Mato covered that one too a few years ago.

[@patament2944]

Your smile is one of my favorite things on the internet.

[@dirsmot]

Mato, thanks for new upload again ,your the Man of chess ♟️

[@altonbrek]

Carnage on the chessboard - no quarters given! Two great chessmasters unleashed!

[@sonarbangla8711]

No wonder Fisher's only nemesis was Geller. Thank you Mato.

[@gonzachambi3937]

A wonderful masterpiece of chess! Quite tricky end but marvellously played.

[@noureddinetayk117]

Thank you so much !

[@amosdraak3536]

Thank you. 🙏💯

Efim Geller Vs Anatoly Karpov 1976 : 1-0 Queen Sacrifice on Move 25 . And The Attack Of Two Knights Is Superior Than Opponent Queen . Just Want To Watch That Game on Your Channel

[@giovannicorno1247]

Two great attackers! A pity Rashid didn't reach the title of GM he surely deserved it but had too few opportunities. Geller was an extraordinary player and theorist.

[@Hallands.]

In order for us to get a more realistic understanding of Elfin Geller, Mato could also show games against those GMs Geller couldn’t handle so well: Polugaevsky, Korchnoi, Spassky, Larsen, Anand and Kasparov…

[@nuroamado4203]

Insane game👏👏👏👏👏

[@chrishauser5505]

Rook going past the last rank was like Bo Jackson running through the end zone and into the tunnel. 😂 Thanks, Mato!

[@betulaobscura]

Great game!

[@nonyobusiness1201]

Rook to F8 and 3/4's kinda like Harry Potter

[@IWillSayMyPeace]

When he had to give up the castling, Nec...nov was already toast.

[@raymondlee8951]

Do you have a series on Geller too? Bronstein series and Charousek series are also good

[@charlesbland1073]

Great mating combinations.

[@sachinkakodkar1306]

A game of immense historical interest. Young Geller is pitted against the legendary Nezmetdinov who has butchered many Soviet doyens (e.g. Mihail Tal). Efim's aggressive play for initiative buckled even the great Rashid. Fantastic stuff ...

[@rezashirazi51]

Very 👍🏻

[@hnalike7778]

Mato tell the world what happened wen geller met Alekhine.

[@mohammadbeheshti3907]

This is firest time i see rashid is lost !!

[@ashish007k]

Dear Mato...how you always manage to change my favorite player...Please try to understand Nezhmetdinov was at the top of my list but after watching many Geller's games Nezhmetdinov is loosing that position, and Geller is becoming my favorite after Nezhmetdinov and Tal... JUST KIDDING...😜...Many Many thanks to you for bringing such a beautiful game...i feel improvement in my chess after watching your videos...thank you Mato...

Nc5 is OP🔥

*I beat my college champion once. After that the same day never came*

[@radhitawidyasmara2089]

No wonder if geller never been a world champion. If you want to be a world Champion you need to play like carlsen or Kasparov. But this guy was an entertainer. He might be losing alot by playing crazy but I'm sure its also entertaining.

[@mangeshdani6411]

Wonder why Geller wasn't a world champion 🏆. Tremendous play

[@Hallands.]

Incomprehensible for sure, so much more that he qualified for the candidates 6 times and held a positive score against four World Champions over the course of his career: Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov, Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian and Robert James Fischer! I guess he must not have won the candidate, but I haven’t checked…

[@MatoJelic]

@@Hallands. Politics played a role too

[@Hallands.]

@@MatoJelic Oh, really? I though it might have, because you get the sense there’s something not said in the records - or in the ones I could find at least. Tell me more? I know the USSR let him compete at all the national championships, and that he won twice, but one article totally omitted to mention he was from Ukraine…

[@MatoJelic]

@@Hallands. KGB kept a close eye on chess. Rashid was not popular with KGB neither.

[@Hallands.]

@@MatoJelic Did they interfere in his travels? I know he was in Copenhagen the year the candidates were held there, because he lost out to Larsen that year…

[@chrissinclair4190]

Wow didn’t expect that outcome was this when nez was old ?

[@amosdraak3536]

He was like 37 and Geller 24.

[@davidcopson5800]

Who is next?

[@chrissinclair4190]

@@davidcopson5800 I don’t know you tell me ?

[@markhughes7927]

Probably missing something - but at 2:48 instead of Q - f4 doesn’t R or B x b on e6 finish things off?

[@xavierjmj]

clash of the Soviet titans ⚔

[@migueleduardo6297]

Rashid was very strong but Geller was in another level

[@tahaissa3673]

Why wasn't Gelller a world champion 🏆🏆 .he was so brilliant and creative

[@pericajoviva]

It's more strange if we know he had a positive score against 5 world champions - Botvinik, Petrosyan, Smyslov, Fisher and Carpov! In my opinion he was one of best theoretical in chess, but in long tournaments he lost focus in some maches, too much thinking over playing on sense! He winning easily against also strategic players, but losing or draw against tactical! He lost chance to play for title in the match against Fisher with one big mistake in winning situation! Still one of best attacker ever in chess history and one of my favorite players!

[@MatoJelic]

@@pericajoviva Thank you for explaining things

[@pericajoviva]

@@MatoJelic One day, I hope very soon, chess world will give to You special award for contributions in chess popularity! Not only me, many people think same! THANK YOU, from hearts all of us!

[@ramazanhoxha4265]

wow, nexh got gellered... 😭😁✊☺️

[@MrGyges]

Ah, I see the rule now, any player with more than six letters in his name wins. Classic. I’m changing mine to Geller - pronto.

[@markhughes7927]

4:32 Q - c5 looks niftier?

[@user-zx7qu5tz2q]

Nezhmetdinov didnt get time to play chess if he had got time to play chess and improve himself i think we would have many more matches of him beating the likes of geller

[@MaheshKumar-cx6uq]

State of mind of two players on that particular day could have played the real game too. Not undermining Geller.

*Geller failed to show consistency*

[@zbigniewopenchowski8140]

Imaccculata

[@altimate1]

Traditional castling costed Nezhmetdinov the match

[@omarakthar8097]

why would nezhmetinov not castle at the beginning, almost like he threw the game....
