Same thing happened to me. The late Great GM Anthony Miles (then just an untitled teenager)dropped a piece to me carelessly right out of the opening in a blitz game in 1970. He sped up going for a really sharp path and I quickly lost TWO pieces and had to resign. It’s not easy when you realise you can win against a chess giant. The clock ticked down, (there was NO increment in those days just a red flag) my nerves kicked in, and Miles stayed incredibly calm which added to my nervousness.
I love watching Shirov play the Slav. He just seems to know where all the pieces are supposed to be. He took over one minute for that queen move, then just appeared to see everything else that might happen afterwards.
What is going on with the clock ? Timer moved forward and backward. What is that for an effect ? Interesting game. Very nice and THANX that there is given the PGN, that anyone can figure out its own ideas. I think White was broken by the move Bc3, this seemed to hit him also mentally while both where under time pressure. Great game from both.
4:40 how does it take 1 minute and 43 seconds out of a 3 minute blitz game to find the move Qc6 when the Queen is being openly threatened by the knight???
I like the way Shirov communicates with his opponent after the game. Top class
Humility is Shirov he talks first when the opponent was heartbroken

Miles would only have been 15 in 1970 and not a grandmaster for another 6 years.
Clive TheRedDevil True but he was one hell of a chess player then and crushed far stronger players than me that afternoon.

Shirov is an incredible tactician
The Bh3 Man will always be *KING* :)

Time increment of 2 seconds a move.
Cómo hizo Shirov para ganar esta partida? Había perdido un caballo limpio. Y de repente, gana!
Incredible actually

7:50 The only trick on the board! 33. Ra1 or 33. Rc1 or 33. Rf1 or 33. Rb1 but not 33. Re1??

He was looking for a way to avoid losing a piece. All the moves after Qc6 were forced and he was trying to find a better line, but there wasn't one.
Shirov shirov, klo menang koar.koar
Блин с таким преимуществом проебать это просто писец..учись упрощать когда лишняя фигура..там было все просто чтобы привести игру до победного конца..
