Really interesting video. I like that you concentrate on the chess on the chessboard and don't attempt to entertain you audience. This was a really insightful presentation of this game.
love the extra breakdowns "how could this play out". Instructive as always, Jerry. Feel like I am playing better in my own games just watching you more lately!
Spotted the Queen move, the fooler was the dark sq. bishop to g7. Your comments were very clear and helpful. Thanks for going through the mating finishes. Not everybody does that, thinking that, surely we know. As a grandpatzer,, I appreciate seeing the road to checkmate. I've missed too many! Thanks.
Been watching your videos for well over a decade now, and never fail to find them entertaining and educational. The lesson from this one will (hopefully!) stick with me forever. Thank you Jerry.
“ The closer the opponents king is to my side of the board, the less pieces I need” Big J. You have pushed my game in 5/5 to an average of 82-91% accuracy . I can’t THANK you enough for your videos.
Fantastic tip, thank you. That Bishop, g7 move was very pretty indeed and had a nice symmetry with the Bishop on g2, both fianchettoed. Thanks for sharing this one Jerry!
What dropped my jaw here was not so much the Queen sacrifice (that was one of my guesses for White’s next move - tho as usual I had no followup); but the actual followup BN7!! exerting the power of the so often overlooked backwards-attack of a piece. Thanks for this, Jerry.
Hey Jerry , first things first , another great video !! Second , any latest tournaments you played on rapid or blitz to upload here would be awesome , Thank you !!
It takes a lot of courage for an inexperienced player to sacrifice the queen.Of course that was the ideal move, but seeing it is not easy since a newbie feels hard wired to save the queen at all costs
I never look for these queen sacrifices. I guess my brain is too hard wired to not seek such moves. Very nice principle to share about pulling the king forward.
This game makes me wonder what is the largest possible number of different mate in 1 moves in a chess position? Here we got 5, is there a position with 10, 12 different mates in one?
18 Re4 wins, but 18 Qxf6+ immediately leads to a quicker mate in 10. A reason this works is that at an appropriate time white can play Ra4 bringing another attacker into the mating attack.
What a beautiful ending! Good thing he didn't resign early like some like to do. Sometimes you just have to accept your fate and embrace the creation of something beautiful.
1600...LOL!!! Have you ever played against a 1600? A modern 1600 player would have blundered a simple tactic in the opening and then resigned. That being said, it's easy to be better at the game when you have computer databases, grandmaster lectures, and two centuries of readily-available theory to rely on. Back then to keep up with the latest theory you had two options: Russian chess magazines/ books and home analysis for every game in every major tournament. Only people who devoted their entire lives to chess could be decent let alone great (see: Bobby Fischer). I think you underestimate the role of modern communication and technology.
You’re spoling us with these videos
Thanks, Jerry!

Nice alliteration in the title and lovely analysis as always! Keep them coming 💯

Always an absolute pleasure when i fail that pop quiz and the star move is shown
Great video as always, Jerry!
Of course I remembered the flashy finish, but your analysis of what came before was illuminating. Thanks Jerry.
AWESOME vids brother
Thank you 👍
Mr. Pachman tried to eat his opponent's pieces
I see what you did there. 😎
I really enjoy your videos, thank you so much for posting as often as you do. Love your content :)
very instructive I was not aware of that idea, Thanks Jerry
Wow Petrosian put the kaboom on Packman. Bd5, Bg7 cutting off the king was lovely. Thank you, Jerry.

Instructive content as always 👍
Keep them coming Jerry!
Thank you Jerry 😊
"It is to Petrosian's advantage that his opponents never know when he is suddenly going to play like Mikhail Tal." - Boris Spassky
That was brutal Jerry. That Bg7 was sweet!
Saved my day yet again
im learning and improving so much thanks to your content
thank you
whoa 5 mate in 1's :D crazy
Pachman has a highly regarded chess book on strategy worth looking at.
Hey Jerry , first things first , another great video !!
Second , any latest tournaments you played on rapid or blitz to upload here would be awesome ,
Thank you !!
Nice tactic! Thanks!
TY GM!
very instructive
Such a brilliant opening idea
Wow, a bolt of lightning from the blue clear sky. The Tiger!
great analogy
I wasn't expecting a Queen sacrifice for a flashy mate from a Petrosian game.
that was badass
It takes a lot of courage for an inexperienced player to sacrifice the queen.Of course that was the ideal move, but seeing it is not easy since a newbie feels hard wired to save the queen at all costs
imagine getting 5 mate in ones in one move. unreal
I would pluralize mate-in-one as mates-in-one, but otherwise an outstanding presentation of an exciting game.
I never look for these queen sacrifices. I guess my brain is too hard wired to not seek such moves. Very nice principle to share about pulling the king forward.
Hey Jerry check out the game between Tal vs Botvinnik game 3 1961 match, Botvinnik played a very instructive game in opposite colored bishop position.
This game makes me wonder what is the largest possible number of different mate in 1 moves in a chess position? Here we got 5, is there a position with 10, 12 different mates in one?
that was beautiful
Jerry care, majstore.
I have found queen sac, but didn't calculate what's there after bishop's check. There is also a move not taking the queen
How much time was taken between moves 18 and 19? Very curious to know when Petrosian knew it was over.
That’d be nice to know. 🤷♂️
A queen sacrifice is the ultimate choice. 👍🏾😏
Thanks Jerry!
Max instructiveness!!!
Hi Jerry, it's everyone!
I always look for the flashy Queen sacrifice in my games. I either don't see it or I didn't see the simple refutation!!
Imagine being that good that nomatter which move you pick, you stiĺl had 4 other mate in ones
Absolutely obliterating. I didn't spot the queen sac, what a move (:
a nice one.
18 Re4 wins, but 18 Qxf6+ immediately leads to a quicker mate in 10. A reason this works is that at an appropriate time white can play Ra4 bringing another attacker into the mating attack.
And Petrosian is not buying it from Tal😅
the position at 7.00!!
Hi Jerry.
I think this tactic was featured in Naroditsky's short-lived New York Times column as well
What a beautiful ending! Good thing he didn't resign early like some like to do. Sometimes you just have to accept your fate and embrace the creation of something beautiful.
Hi.
🤔😸
In my games queen sacrifices are blunders
what about rook g8 attacking the bishop?
Too slow
It's still mate. The rook never gets the chance to capture.
king was not a fighter, ~
It was not Pachman's best game to say the least.
He played like an amateur.
strange that a strong player like pachmann played this game like a 1600 today would have

I recently quit reddit due to all the recent nonsense. The only thing I really miss is the Petrosian bot from /r/anarchychess !
Pipi.
One of best queen sacrifice I have ever seen! Not that I've seen a lot of them.
