One of the best attacking games ever, for sure. I wish you could cover more games by Pillsbury, he's such an underrated player, often neglected because of his short career.
Third best player ever from the USA.
Pillsbury lost because he received the devastating news he was dying of syphilis the day before they played this game. Up until then he was crushing Lasker.
@@ianwhitchurch864 I agree after Morphy and Fischer :)
I can understand if Lasker saw this as one of his best game. I think it is a fantastic game. What a checkmate !
Very beautiful game....end was very interesting 🤗🙏tq matho sir for wonderful presentation 🤗
In his book _The Golden Age of Chess,_ William Ewart Napier includes both this game and the 1904 follow-up in which Pillsbury, who was greatly irked by the 1895 loss, introduced an opening innovation that swung the game his way. But most fascinating was Napier's narration of his relationship with Pillsbury. Apparently Pillsbury used him as a stand-in for Lasker, playing the semi-Tarrasch variation above over and over again at every encounter between them! Napier described it as "The life of a canal horse," which seems appropriate.
Very interesting comment. Thank you Francis
Lasker escaped from the clutches of Pillsbury, Rubinstein, Tarrasch and survived the aging lion Steinitz before finally abdicating the throne for Capablanca.
You have the Greatest Players, or teams in the World... Soccer, Football, Baseball, Tennis, Swimming, Golf, Car Racing, Hockey, with there World Records..
But in Chess... There's only 1 guy who holds the Longest World Record for CHESS CHAMPION 🏆... And that's Emanuel Lasker 🥇.... I don't see Carlson even coming close to him... 27 yrs...
Thanks Mato, Shalom ani brother
Thank you for your comment
Great video Mato. Lasker was a genius and literally redefined chess. I remember reading his games even as a kid wondering who this genius is. Now I know 😀
Queen gambit declined: Tarrasch is a difficult line to play with both colors.
I saw the rook sacrifice but couldn't find the follow up moves..
So you saw a way to throw away a piece. I am very good at that particular skill :)
@@briankarcher4418 haha
I like the checkmating combinations.
Beautiful game! At 6:14 if Kxa3 isn't Be7# mate??
No doubt. Lasker's best game.
Prodigieux
End position still theory.
!!!
Why doesn't white play 28. Q-F5 + and go for a draw?
What draw? There is no draw. Kh8 and you have no more checks. Unless you want to give up the queen, but this only prolongs game for a few more moves.
@@salmarwow Thanks..I had chess blindness.
Matoooo
If i were Pillsbury i prefer chase lasker's king hoping to get a draw
I think that is not working because after 27 . Kh7 28 . Qf5+ Kh8 and there is no draw by threefold repetition
And then you lose swiftly after you find out there is no draw here.
First you hit like button then you watch the video
Thank you
@@MatoJelic love your vids mato respect from Greece 🇬🇷
THIS COMBO IS NOT WINNING!! When Lasker played Ra3 , instead of exf7+ there is bxa3 which saves the game. Qb6+ the only move and White plays Bb5!! To connect rooks and Black does not have a win.
I love when it looks like there is no threat, but then Mato shows how its actually mate in a few moves.
The worst way to lose ever is by a
....PAWN.... SO if you see it coming, re-sign before you get sacked.... Great job nakama
Please do more on Pillsbury... Did you know his lifetime record versus Lasker was 5 wins each with 4 draws ? Pillsbury was an incredible player and a genius , no doubt, he didn't learn chess until 16, yet 7 years later he won hastings ahead of Lasker, Steinitz ,Tarrasch , Schlechter and Chigorin. Strongest tournament EVER until Avro 1938... More Pillsbury please Mato and Keep up the GREAT JOB !
Thank you for your comment
@@MatoJelic Your Passion and knowledge for chess is obvious !!!
Now I realize why they said that Lasker was using psychology in chess
Take with the pawn to preserve energies.
But only when they're the closest pieces /hence the en.preservation/
I find it more pleasing to take with the bishop leaving it on the pawn's shoulder.
Lasker was right though, it's one of his best games,
An extraordinary victory for Lasker. A World champion game.
Was Lasker the greatest ever!
Maryja❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice!
Jezus LOVE You
Lasker for president !
Lasker met his match in Pillsbury. He has troubled other leading lights in chess as well (Chigorin, Tarrasch, Burn). A worthy successor to his antecedant Paul Morphy. He was excellent at blindfold chess too.
Very nice game
Dear Sir, the present game of Dr. Lasker is truely the best of all games of QGD. In the supreme test of playing the uphill games requiring steady nerve under fire, quick piercing thoughts, resourcefulness, ever calmness, Dr. Lasker is without equal throughout the history of chess. The most qualified world champion has carried out such outstanding combinations out of seemingly harmless position. The double took sacrifice at once exposing and cornering of white king has an excellent claim of originality. Every chess player will surely recognise and will comment that Dr.Lasker's combination s is one of the greatest feats of human imagination. In addition, you had beautifully explained every attacking and defensive prospects from white and black. Your soft tongued lucid analytical commentary is all ways excellent. Thanks for releasing this nice video. Looking forward for such sessions. Thanks and regards. Dmbhangaonkar
👍
i loved this game .. perfect
Mato's variations are great.
Lasker was well challenged.
worst sentence of English language is "and that is all" :-)
It could be always worse
Lasker's play with the rooks is brilliant. For such rook sacrifices I can only think of Spassky's game against Larsen (USSR vs World)
Unbelievable, my games are so sloppy compared to the masters
To beat Pillsbury keeps any man walking on air for centuries to come.....
Lasker is one of the all time greats for sure. So underrated...
I completely agree. Lasker still regained the number 1 spot from Capablanca when he was 58 and the Cuban in his prime. He was not as flashy of course, but Lasker in my book will always be a greater player than Capablanca and indeed one of the top 3 ever.
Well choosing between Lasker and Capablanca is like choosing between Bach and Mozart. Depth and resourcefulness here, harmony and beauty there.
I don’t think we have to chose, they are both unique and among the most significant chess champions that ever lived.
