The old games have a special air to them

That’s the smell of the old, yellowed, out-of-print chess books.

A genius playing and a bunch of minor errors hardly exploited lol

Your selection of the games is wonderful

That was a beauty. Losing piece yet no panic…

Good was seeing two greater players but even better was seeing them be human too with imperfect responses.

Pillsbury prepared a nice variation specially for E Lasker winning a beautiful game, these two almost always played great games when facing each other, years later Marshall tried to imitate him against Capa but as we know no luck there for him. Thank you for the video!

Great to see the greats being great against each other! 😊

Thank you this video is just what I needed. This lesson was very calming and instructive. Good way to relax after a tough day. I appreciate you chess dawg keep up the amazing work.

same here. how I wind down after a long day! It gets the juices flowing and Im excited to play chess next.

Can you cover some Pillsbury games in the future? Pillsbury was amazing.

Never knew Lasker was such an attacker! In the games you have shown so far, he reminds me of Morphy, Anderssen and, of course, Tal! Thx for educating me!

A mate with the pawn would've been even better. Great game and analysis as usual.

Good commentary, thank you!

What that rook did in front of the king's pawns was amazing. I think there was an Alekheine game where his rook blocked a pawn advance but couldn't be taken.

Thank you for the breakdowns of these games!

Awesome presentation! Thank you.

I love the idea of a Pillsbury series - but what's happening with Tani?

What a game, cheers for the analysis

Good game, great commentary helps me learning - thank you!

Excellent channel. I really enjoy your videos!

Thank you for explaining so well the tactics & strategy of these beautiful classic games between great players. Pillsbury was no slouch but Lasker sure seems like a crafty fox with a keen tactical eye! Lasker’s attack on Pillsbury’s unguarded Queenside king with just his rook, Queen & bishop is very efficient but the crown jewel is the second rook sacrifice Ra6! Wow! That stunning sac together with the preceding attack because of your video has now entered my toolbox of positional & tactical motifs. Thank you!

Awesome game. You do a great job.

Theyre awesome!

For the record, the errors they made towards the end were time trouble mistakes. Since they didn’t study openings as much then, they had to calculate more from earlier in the game and so they were lower on time sooner sometimes. Otherwise a World Champ probably wouldn’t lose the advantage repeatedly like that

Setting up a pin as a trap. Wow.

Not only a trap but a way to muscle him out of there. He knew he would trade his dark square bishop off and from there he was toast! This game is an amazing example of why the bishops are indeed stronger than knights. At no point was Pillsbury in control of this game. The reason Lasker missed the faster / easier mate is because he had already found the win, the longer way around.

Me too Lasker, me too

10:54 it's 3 moves not 2

Make a video on Emory Tate games

Would've been cooler if he mated with the pawn instead.

sacrifice soiree

you copy this croatian guy, with ''i give you time to find best move'' , be original man...
