    I love how Yasser asks the children for move ideas, and he takes the time to consider every suggestion no matter how “unusual” the move may be. Yasser is one of the greatest teachers I’ve ever seen…and I’m not just talking about chess teachers, but all teachers.

    It is really astonishing that a person who has seen such horror at the very beginning of his life, without any security or hope or dream; could play such a game and be known to play likewise. In the era of chess engines and guidance from great masters if one creates such possibilities over the board, we worship them. That's why we all must take a moment and think in which circumstances Nezhmetdinov played this game. He regretted that he was late to start his chess career. I wonder how ecstatic he might have felt in the age of internet, where knowledge is easily attainable. Thank you very much for the demonstration Yasser and Saint Lois Chess Club.
