99.9 % accuracy? let stockfish 16 run this game on a modern computer for 3,5 hours, and i guess the accuracy will be lower. another reason why rashid got 100 % or 99 % accuracy, could be because rashid's opponent played bad.

Except you study Petrosian games to learn how to sac exchange for win in the endgame, and centre of your scale should be around 7.5! :). Petrosian may have been the "World's strongest chicken" but that really just meant he did not go for unclear sacrifices. Also, Shirov and Kramnik should be on this list.

If there'd been a number 15, it would have to be Kermit Norris. He had two mottos: "No pawn respect!" and "Take care of your pawns, and the pieces will take care of themselves."

The game is from Nezhmetdinov's simultaneous exhibition that he performed in Kazan (Russia, USSR at that time), in 1951. The opponent's name is Lusikal.

Finding the moves one at a time is not the hard part, any 1000ish rated player could intuit most of Whites moves rather quickly since most were forcing. The problem comes with these knife edge sharp lines that you have sacrificed everything there is no inaccuracies, only blunders. For every possible Enemy move you have but One move that doesn’t immediately lose you the game. The problem is starting way back at the beginning you must exhaustively prove that every single line leads to checkmate. There may be well over 100+ moves branching from your move 1. You must prove before making that first move that every single move of dozens and dozens ALL lead to either checkmate or any obvious and overwhelming advantage. You must organize this all in your head, the whole time you’re clock is ticking down to 0

Hello everyone!

looking at the comments it's suprising to know not many people know about nezhmetdinov. Fun fact: He defeated Tal in 3 out of their 4 matches, and reached a peak elo of 2700 defeating multiple world champions and GMs like polugaevsky, smyslov, spassky, tal, etc. without ever being granted the GM status

@@ishan7126 yes that's a pure estimation because back then in his prime which was during 1940s-50s at max, russian athletes werent given freedom by the state to travel abroad to even the top of their athletes and GMs, let alone Rashid because albeit his strength, he was never allowed outside either. There was no way of establishing a strong FIDE rating for him for that matter and this is also why he never got a GM title, he was never allowed to play for GM norms in his peak and when the time did come, it was too late. He however did travel outside once with many strong russian IMs to europe when the journalists complained that the USSR only ever sends the strongest. Needless to say, Rashid crushed everyone he faced and finished 2nd by defeating the Italian Champion of the time and many more

Nazamaldinov was a brilliant attacker and still has , arguably, the best Queen sacrifice of all time. His insane calculations remind me of a nother great chess player less known by the young generation..the Bulgarian super GM and former world champion Veselin Topalov.

Polugaevsky beat Nezhmetdinov about ten times. (Few people if any aren't interested in that nor his losses.) But the game Nezhmetdinov beat him once and that game is an absolute immortal. In fact type just type in *Nezhm* and youtube will auto display in the third or fourth result Nezhmetdinov vs Polugaevsky. Yasser Seirawan does a very good presentation of that game. Nezhmetdinov, Rashid Gibiatovich is perhaps (my opinion) the most under-rated chess player ever. He didn't get the opportunity to become a GM but he won the Russian Chess Championship in 1950, 1951, 1953, 1957 and 1958. Nezhmetdinov was an absolute savage who could easily mate anyone's king.

bro did only 2 mistakes and 2 inaccuracies, that was harsh! imagine if he blundered

Nez is one of my favourite players!!!

Is g4 really a decoy if the following Kxg4 is still the best move for black?

In this brilliant checkmate by Nezhmetdinov in the center of the board, who was the player of the black pieces?

99% accuracy and that was all i needed to know

I think Tal usually sacrifices two queens and a king for a checkmate.

My man is Stockfisch irl

When the king goes to f6, knight f7 would have been a faster forced mate. Discovered check by the bishop. Pawn blocks, then checkmate with bishop takes pawn.

Hey zach whats ur board theme?

4:40 - "A move, the engine didnt find"??? My Stockfish 15 immediately(!) suggested dxc6! with a whopping +4,36 calculation for white. Which poor engine does not find that move?
