Moving your pawn to that 6th rank is absolutely BRUTAL for knights, they have to make an exchange with another piece or put their knight in an uncomfortable position you can later leverage with a pin or a fork.

The reason this was such a good breakdown is that you showed why certain moves weren't played. You played out what would happen if they were. That was good for seeing what was really happening - in the mental arena. You uncovered the mental battle ground. Your commentary on the chess computer's opinion at each point was great too.

Diemer was a chess fanatic and open tournament nomad. This game was played in the 80s at an Open in Nürnberg. Because he missed the price money (there were several GM and IM playing, and the tournament was short) he couldn't pay his hotel bill - so there was a "fundraiser" among the players in the end :D. Heiling was about Oberliga strength (below 2nd Bundesliga). Diemer's agressive and unconventional play made him very dangerous against weaker players. Especially young players often derive a lot of their strength from theory knowledge. Leaving these paths early diminished these players' strength, and reduced them to their own thinking and tactical prowess. Also imagine the psychological burden of being at the receiving end of such a line. Very uncomfortable. It was not the only unconventional game he played in this tournament, but the most spectacular. His entertainment value was definitely high, so the fundraiser was successful.

Black made key errors in terms of pawn breaks and development. They should, for instance, have developed their pieces and happily give away a pawn or two and absolutely crush white for their not developing and completely compromising their position. Materialism and poor intuition leads to such poor positions for black.

Thank you so much. It really means a lot to me.

My two cents: One: the aim of developing one's pieces in chess revolves around the thoughts of power projection, board control, and having pieces defending and supporting each other. Most modern strategies do this by punching holes past one's own pawn line and squeezing their back rank pieces past. Emil simply does this by advancing his pawns. Why does it work here? The back rank pieces are still supporting the pawn structure by simply *being there*. Emil was moving his pawns forward in ways that reflect this. Two: there is one principle that Emil doesn't break. That principle being the importance of pawns in the endgame... Particularly passed pawns. Now all of the early game pawn moves pay off: Emil has more than enough passed pawns to get a key promotion at a critical time putting black in an impossible situation. As an added bonus: there is still a pawn on b2 for the king to hide behind to avoid perpetual rook checks in the endgame.

⁠@@noahfeazell3336 Using the color of the font is not sufficient or good design. Hence why all professional chess orgs use portrait position and consistent coloring. For example, in this video, one of the players is a white box with black text, which, in isolation, is not sufficient to deduce what pieces he has as its ambiguous. A viewer would have to look at the others player’s portrait and deduce who has what pieces from the white text in a blue field. Do you see the asymmetry there? If you looked at Emil’s portrait first you could (1) assume he’s white since the font is white, or (2) assume he’s black because of the universally adopted broadcasting convention of portrait position correlating with board position. I would need to look at the 2nd portrait to deduce the truth and the video maker’s convention. This is not good design. And the video maker agreed, so there’s that.

at 2:00 why white does not take B5 pawn with bishop?

Because Qa5+. Already answered with full line. Thank you.

I love it when people try this at my rating, im a little over 1000. They end up over extending their pawns, while im developing minor pieces, and it goes down hill from there for them..

Yes, moving pawns without any plan is never a good idea.

I love this game! I read about it once and forgot the names! Thanks for covering this!

It makes people sweat if they don't know how to respond. Thank you for the comment.

Beautiful game and analysis. Buy black basically threw away the game with 16.fxg5 instead of taking back on b5. Allowing connected past pawn is a big mistake. He would have pressure on a5 pawn, semi opened A file. His pieces would come alive and he would be able to castle no matter what white plays.

Hello there and thank you for the comment. Yes, this is true but the game would still be unclear. 16.axb5 17. gf6 Nxf6 18.Bb5+ Nbd7 19.a6. But you are right, black would be able to castle.
