Seven years later and I still find this intensely pleasant. There's a treasure trove of good stuff from years ago on this channel, and it can be amusing hearing Jerry's younger voice.
Ah the old style board. Very good. And - IMHO - still there is no better chess analyst on UA-cam. I feel like it's safe to say that your videos are responsible for like 150 or 200 of my ( measly ^^) ELO points. Thank you for everything! For your time and the input in making these videos and for your love towards the king of all games.
Finally ! After watching all those videos I can see I've improved a lot :D Not only did I spot the correct move and the correct follow up but did so relatively fast :D Not to mention that ever since I started watching these I got once again interested in chess and started practicing a more formal approach myself with studying alongside the videos :D Thank you for all your hard work sir! You are a legend in my book! azaas plays Qf7 and checkmates Chessnetwork with a huge bro-hug!
I like the pop quiz part of the commentary. Although I got the Ba3 part right, I failed to spot the correct follow-up, which was Nh5+. Botvinnik's cunning, double-piece sac never even occurred to me. Instead I thought Qc7+ was the best move after sacrificing the bishop. Great commentary as usual and I hope to see more pop quizzes in your future videos. Thanks Jerry.
hehe, great game. I got the bishop and knight sack immediately :D First time I've ever spotted the super continuation without pausing and swearing for about 40 minutes, I felt like a god.
This game is as beautiful as it gets! Although in Capablanca's defense he was already old in 1938 when this game happened. Phenomenal review of this game! Cheers!
Botvinnik sacrificed two minor pieces back to back. Sometimes I hold on to my pieces too long and they get me in more trouble than not. What I learned here is to look for these moves in my own games. It’s all about spacial positioning which is what chess is all about. Thank you Jerry for bringing these great games of these great players who lived long ago. It’s like reading a fabulous old book.
I believe he did and in my mind the idea isn't ridiculous. I believe it's deployed to b2 in anticipation of an ensuing structural change despite how overprotected it was "at that time" with 2 pawns, knight and queen. d4 will need support by pieces for as long as the black pawn remains on c5. The knight will go elsewhere, e3 will go to e4, and the pressure on d4 by c5 with c3 support offset, leaving the queen, not the best babysitter, to defend a pawn. This changes after c4.
Well he says that because attacking is just his style,i´ve seen many Kramnik´s games where he holds the position all the time,he does not attacks at almost any moment.
You know what would be useful, and possibly interesting? To work the game backward. We know black ends up in a losing position; what could he have done differently? What were the decisive moves that decided it for white, and how could black avoid them?
Great! I reviewed afterwards the game in Kasparov's book. It has many great comments, but I found these 2 very interesting. "11 Bxa6 ?! f3 is more acurate - after Bxd3 12. Qxd3 the queen ends in d3 and the Knight still has to move". "13...Re8?! after the obvious 13...cxd4 14.cxd4 Rfc8, followed by Rc4 and Rac8 white would have to forhet about the breakthrough in the center and switch to defence".
Jerry, at move 30 my roommate and I came up with a possible solution to black's forced mate situation. If black blocks with Nc5, the queen deflection is no longer a real threat for black because then white plays dxc5, bxc5, Bxc5, Qxc5+ and this comes with check. So, at the price of a knight can Capablanca still hold on for a little longer?
Botvinnik is such a genius! Maybe not the best player of all time, but his approach to chess changed the game. Karpov. Kasparov. Even Todays Kramnik are examples of his school of chess.
The queen would be there to defend the knight on f6 after the check on g5, if you go Ba3 after that the knight can simply go to g8 defending his queen. I don't know how to continue from here, but inverting the order makes it really hard to do calculations. That's my thought maybe I'm wrong.
nice win....against capalanca that is! although...your comment: SOMETIMES they want to take on c3 is a nice understatement my friend.....nimzoindian is all aout taking on c3...giving up the darksquared ishop :) hehe ...and amazing how style shifted over the decades...nowadays noody plays 3.Nc3 anymore after Nf6 & e6....everyone plays Nf3 :( to avoid the nimzo) ...was nice to see how kasparov let it happen with White several times during his comeack at the sinquefield cup...classical variation with 4.Qc2 it was....
Kasparov also says that having pieces away from the opponent king does not really help. The Nb3, yes, it was in 6th row, but totally useless, in the other side of the board.
On move 31, is there any continuation for black where he just runs from the check instead of taking the knight? Would it give enough time for the queen to come back to defend at all?
I am sorry but how does white e5 pawn "capture" black f5? they are on same line and pawns can only attack diagonals, no? Am I missing something or did you show an incorrect move? Thanks and great video.
can someone help me instead at 9:45 what if you pushed d5 to d6 instead of capturing the f pawn wouldnt that be okay as well or can black stop the push?
This is a famous game in which on of the best players of the two previous decades was crushed by an up and coming Jewish player from the Soviet Union during the AVRO tournament! Fantastic!

9 years later and this is still intensely pleasant
@@typicalfurry2747 Hmmm, in some ways I just miss how the chess pieces looked, lol.

Thank you Homer. 👍
no matter when you did the work, whether 10 years ago or 10 minutes ago, I definitely love your work Jerry!😊
👍
👍
In the last month I've watched over a hundred of your videos. You have improved my thinking immensely. Thank you!
Keep the videos coming Jerry, You have fueled my passion for chess beyond any amount that you can measure. So simply: thank you.
Very illuminating commentary. Nice to have discovered this. Thanks.
Agreed. I like this laid back style of commentary. This guy's okay.
jerry you are number 1 game reviewer
Great analysis Jerry like always! Thanks! Waiting impatiently for more tourneys and stuff!

Thanks for the upload Jerry! Wish you make more videos of these old masters.

Instead I thought Qc7+ was the best move after sacrificing the bishop. Great commentary as usual and I hope to see more pop quizzes in your future videos. Thanks Jerry.
Thanks for the feedback. If I do give pop quizzes in future videos, don't worry any as I will not be grading them. :)
great analysis, enjoyed this type of break down. a move by move analysis is the best thing for me to learn by.
hehe, great game. I got the bishop and knight sack immediately :D
First time I've ever spotted the super continuation without pausing and swearing for about 40 minutes, I felt like a god.
Vibius Morquairch lol i got the sacrifice in my head the other way round😂
Most informative annotation of this game I have seen (or read) by far.
Botvinnik and Tal games are alvvays a piece of art! Thanks for sharing the video.
Pure history, clash of two eras of chess. I love analysis of game like this one. Thanks for sharing!
This game is as beautiful as it gets! Although in Capablanca's defense he was already old in 1938 when this game happened. Phenomenal review of this game! Cheers!
Capablanca of course deserves credit too as a very impressive older chess player in general.
Love seeing videos in my sub box again jerry, keep em coming. Pop quiz is nice!
awesome video, been watching your commentarys for over a year now!!!!
Excellent explanation, Jerry, as always!

Good commentary. Effective use of the board display. Thanks.
Fantastic combination, actually saw the both moves.. Not the escape from the perpetual tough
Me too!
Grand Moff Tarkin u ohyopp
Jerry, I like your analysis style, it helps me a lot to learn and correct my play style. Thanks and keep up the good work.
+Md. Kamrul Hasan Great to read that. 😊
Very clear thinking, Jerry! I appreciate it.
Great work, thank you Mr. Jerry !
Thanks for the upload Jerry - another very interesting video.
I believe he did and in my mind the idea isn't ridiculous.

Amazing game and amazing commentary, thank you! Liked and subscribed.
Jerry you should do a video where you give us an insight into your life, I think a lot of people would be really interested
Really superb, concise commentary!
I saw Ba3 but my thinking was to push the pawn forward, I completely missed Nh5. Awesome stuff, cheers Jerry.
Enjoyed it! Thanks again Jerry! You have really improve my chess and life.h
Amazing game and well presented thank you
i love when you do these videos :) I learn so much!
beautiful analysis....very entertaining and educational....thank you!
Thanks Igor. :)
Thank you!
Awesome vid Jerry. Most I've learnt in a while. Solved the ba3 move too :D
Love it..fascinating stuff and in depth analysis
Thanks Jerry!
What about Qe8 after Ba3 insted of taking the bishop?
Well he says that because attacking is just his style,i´ve seen many Kramnik´s games where he holds the position all the time,he does not attacks at almost any moment.
esta partida es memorable !!
One of the best games Ive seen.
Hey Jerry, i was able to spot both correct moves, thanks to your videos i've become a much better chess player. Thanks !
Botvinik himself said that he calculated this last Ba3 in 2 ways, firstly he saw first 6 moves that at least he has a perpetual and then to the end.
You know what would be useful, and possibly interesting? To work the game backward. We know black ends up in a losing position; what could he have done differently? What were the decisive moves that decided it for white, and how could black avoid them?
Great game. Amazing. Thank you.
Great! I reviewed afterwards the game in Kasparov's book. It has many great comments, but I found these 2 very interesting. "11 Bxa6 ?! f3 is more acurate - after Bxd3 12. Qxd3 the queen ends in d3 and the Knight still has to move". "13...Re8?! after the obvious 13...cxd4 14.cxd4 Rfc8, followed by Rc4 and Rac8 white would have to forhet about the breakthrough in the center and switch to defence".
I've never seen Capablanca lose a game. I loved botnnik's long term strategy.
Good work, Jerry!
Do you like Spassky - Fischer #3 game? If so then highlight this game too!
Jerry, at move 30 my roommate and I came up with a possible solution to black's forced mate situation. If black blocks with Nc5, the queen deflection is no longer a real threat for black because then white plays dxc5, bxc5, Bxc5, Qxc5+ and this comes with check. So, at the price of a knight can Capablanca still hold on for a little longer?
Great job!
Great sacrifices!
Botvinnik is such a genius!
Maybe not the best player of all time, but his approach to chess changed the game. Karpov. Kasparov. Even Todays Kramnik are examples of his school of chess.
Bravo Jerry for entertainment
At 2:30, why didn't black move c5 to c4 -- or better what wouldve white done in return?
Wow very nice, not every day somebody beat Capablanca this way
Very instrucitve explanation!
The queen would be there to defend the knight on f6 after the check on g5, if you go Ba3 after that the knight can simply go to g8 defending his queen. I don't know how to continue from here, but inverting the order makes it really hard to do calculations. That's my thought maybe I'm wrong.
I never knew u could capture a piece that isn't even on that tile
nice and clean explanation...thanx
nice win....against capalanca that is! although...your comment: SOMETIMES they want to take on c3 is a nice understatement my friend.....nimzoindian is all aout taking on c3...giving up the darksquared ishop :) hehe ...and amazing how style shifted over the decades...nowadays noody plays 3.Nc3 anymore after Nf6 & e6....everyone plays Nf3 :( to avoid the nimzo) ...was nice to see how kasparov let it happen with White several times during his comeack at the sinquefield cup...classical variation with 4.Qc2 it was....
Black queen side Knight rightly described as misplaced Knight no different from inactive Knight.Thanks
At 12:00 Ba3, OK, but if Queen just sidesteps Bishop, ...Qe8, the Knight gambit seems not to work. Nh5+ PxN; Qg5+ Qg6.
Happy Anniversary! :)
Kasparov also says that having pieces away from the opponent king does not really help. The Nb3, yes, it was in 6th row, but totally useless, in the other side of the board.
Why you dont play tournaments on chesscube anymore?I realy like 2 watch it... :/
even if we know what a nimzo -indian is...I would appreciate if you explain each single move from the beginning.
buenos videos,pero seria genial que hablaran sobre un partida del Mexicano Carlos Torre Repetto
A very nice game!
On move 31, is there any continuation for black where he just runs from the check instead of taking the knight? Would it give enough time for the queen to come back to defend at all?
Im missing some of kasparov's games lol! Thx Jerry
wait wait wait wait wait.... u can capture with the pon at 10:26 ?!?!?!?!?!? how can I have never known that
u should make videos of korchnoi ,keres,and other non world champs
at :44 could have played QA4+ and then take the bishop next turn??
Spectacular finish :)
12:18 What about pawn e7? Too slow?
I am sorry but how does white e5 pawn "capture" black f5? they are on same line and pawns can only attack diagonals, no? Am I missing something or did you show an incorrect move? Thanks and great video.
Great! :)
Botvinnik himself admitted that he didn't concretely calculate all the possible continuations after Qxa3 I believe.
really good! indeeed.
Got both the moves right! Doesn't happen too often :P.
saw both the bishop sac and the knight :p rather pleased with myself tbh lol
Thank goodness for that! I'd flunk the quizzes without doubt. :))
ba6 was incredible
@8:35 how does the Knight shift 2 spaces?
Knight doesn't "shift".
Nc5 to d3 just as Jerry mentions in the video. Pay attention.
can someone help me instead at 9:45 what if you pushed d5 to d6 instead of capturing the f pawn wouldnt that be okay as well or can black stop the push?
wish i could play like him.
But why does Capablanca take the bishop, as far as I can see, he could move his Queen to e8 and stay there
Am I missing something? How did that white pawn capture on move 23?
How about Knight takes on f5 after 22? Queen g3 check, king goes to f7, queen to g5.
I guess Nd2, then after rook g2, Ng4
What if don't take en passant then sac the Knight? If take check with q. If not, check with Knight
White doesn't need to play Bxc5 at the end (this would be a blunder). He'll just be a piece up and win easily.
Ur a great teacher, question? after Qa4.. instead of Qf2; why not Qf5..?for white,,, threating E6.
The Queen is no longer protecting g5, so Black play Qg5+ at some point, pushing the King back and forcing perpetual check.
This is a famous game in which on of the best players of the two previous decades was crushed by an up and coming Jewish player from the Soviet Union during the AVRO tournament! Fantastic!
