I am proud to say that at the "Critical Move" I had the idea of sacrificing two bishops! ...of course I might have read the title of the video first.....
Drink a shot everytime you hear: Hi it's Mato RESIGNED CRITICAL POSITION Ignore the threat BLECK Can you spot it? Mato is awesome this is just something i like to predict besides the moves. Proud subscriber.
one of the most beautiful check mates that I have seen in your minatures so fare. I just memorized this game because it is so beautiful. :) Even if Tarrasch has spent one hour on the next move, just to be able to see like so many moves ahead… Respect :)
you are awesome mato..i developed interest recently in chess because of playing it on my mobile, but i now i have downloaded few books and your videos are really great for learning to play better. keep it going.
Thank you very much, Mato! Some weeks ago I asked you to make a video about that game and now it's there! You can't imagine how happy I am! Many thanks again!
"Hi this is Mato, in this video I will show you a very spectacular chess game" Best opening line for Chess channels on UA-cam. Iconic! Can you see the killa move?
This game was also in the book I was reading. I could NOT understand the sacrifices at first, and I always look up to your videos and you have ALL of those games! Thank you very much master :)
I've begun to click "like" on MatoJelic's videos straight away, before watching the thing, because I might forget at the end, because I've seen enough of these now to know that it is highly unlikely that I'm going to end up not liking the video. I find these videos to be of just the right length, and just the right level of analysis for me, and I enjoy trying to find the Killah moves! :)
Again an excelent video Mato. Very nice game between 2 "enemy" players: Tarrasch was a (probably "the") major figure of traditional chess (e.g. Tarrasch's rule: place rooks behind passed pawns), and on the other hand Nimzowitsch is a major figure of the hypermodern revolution int the 1920s (for example Nimzo-Indian opening is named after him), which refuted Tarrasch's dogmatic teachings... successfully, despite this game ;)
Hi Mato, I love your videos and would love to see more analysis of these old classics! I would love to see Tarrasch vs Lasker game four of their championship I think where Lasker made a very unorthodox move bringing his rook off the back rank quite early.
This is really one of my favorite chess games, it has almost everything as you have said, including a "pure mate" - albeit brutal - with three active pieces. And I am also pretty sure that at the 19th move Tarrasch was inspired by another game with double bishop sacrifices, the game between Lasker and Bauer played in 1889. Thanks and have a nice week!
One of the fun things about this game is that in the end position, after Black has made four sacrifices (including the original pawn) material is equal on both sides but the white king is dead on the wrong side of the board.
Thanks again Master Mato. If we could request a video on the short game in your book where Nimzovisch defeats his opponent in 12 moves with the Ruy Lopez that would be most excellent !!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, thanks Mato. In the Mammoth book of Greatest Chess Games this is rated in the 3rd group, equal 11th-21st. But it's really helpful and enjoyable to watch your video.
Very good game. I didn't put this into any analysis software, but at 8:39, is black really winning? White still has plenty of compensation for the queen after Bishop C3. Yes, black is a little bit ahead, but white will still have 2 rooks, a bishop and 3 pawns (after Queen takes A2).
I possibly would have considered the move pawn to d4 when I was at black position, but i must say, that i accidently spoiled it beacause first: I wouldn't knew all the variations and second, i accidently skipped to a part where i already saw the d4 pawn was captured! :(, my computer hung himself up, but my chess intuition would have probably saif the same,... the goal was to make white bishop free and destroying a little of king's pawn structure making white king more vulnurable!
Very enjoyable!! They do not play like that any more. The competition is very big and puts pressure on the players. They want to be careful and take no risk.
at critical position why not take with white bishop first, then after king takes, black bishop takes. then Qh4+. Kg2, Qg4+.Kh, Rd4. rook cant be stopped from chak mate on h-file. i cant find a sensible defens on the way there, any thoughts?
Nimzowitsch has really a tough chess life, this game is brutal ! I remember him been also humiliated by capablanca, been killed with the principles discribed is his own book.
That move will end really badly for white no matter how you look at it.. Black just has to play Qf4+ if queen defends white loses a knight, if king moves white has to sack his queen for a rook to prevent check mate.
Continuing... I notice that in earlier periods of chess, that players seldom resigned even in hopeless situations. Was this just an etiquette thing? Was it in bad taste? Nowadays, games almost never end in checkmate.
The lifetime scores of Nimzovitch vs Tarrasch is N 5 , T 2, D 2, with the Tarrasch wins occurring in the earlier games and the Nimzovitch wins occurring more often in the later games. Nimzovitch stumbled in the beginning until he found his footing as he showed himself the better player. Let’s see some Nimzovitch wins.
From what I've read Nimzowitsch and Tarrasch absolutely hated each other and never missed an opportunity to put the needle in. In this case it's more like a sledgehammer!
Also very famous is to sacrifice a piece for gaining more control over the board, i was very happy when I saw it leads to the two bishop sacrifices, also I was looking for that at begining when d4 wasn't played, always scratching my beard and wondering if i can still pull it up after d4 (like d5 was always on my way) ;_; sorry pawn I didn't wanted to offend you!! Of course d Pawn, I will make you my 2nd Queen next time !!! Well... that sounds strange, doesn't it?
I think the analyists were more accurate than Tarrach. At 11:45, can't Nimzowitsch play Qf6? It loses the Queen, but White doesn't die. Am I missing something obvious?
I am proud to say that at the "Critical Move" I had the idea of sacrificing two bishops!

Drink a shot everytime you hear:
Hi it's Mato
RESIGNED
CRITICAL POSITION
Ignore the threat
BLECK
Can you spot it?
Mato is awesome this is just something i like to predict besides the moves. Proud subscriber.
***** "How would you continue? " :D
Killa Move!!
Monsta Knight!
Bleck played a move and white resigned.....
I came here just to see a Killa move ...
+Dusan Plavsic The Killa move or Tequila move?
I thought it was aquila move
one of the most beautiful check mates that I have seen in your minatures so fare. I just memorized this game because it is so beautiful. :) Even if Tarrasch has spent one hour on the next move, just to be able to see like so many moves ahead… Respect :)
tarrasch for best sadist of the year 1914
I like how Tarrasch arranged the mate like a cross, really fits the whole "torture" theory
you are awesome mato..i developed interest recently in chess because of playing it on my mobile, but i now i have downloaded few books and your videos are really great for learning to play better. keep it going.

What an legendary masterpiece by Siegbert Tarrasch.....
Thank you for your comment
another amazing game from the most amazing chess channel on youtube! mad props to Mato for being one of the worlds best chess commentators!
Great game Mato. One of your best videos yet. Thank you.
I can see board and pieces better when I use board and colors that I am currently using.
In short it is more eye(for my eyes) pleasing.
Thank you Mato. This was really nice game and nice commentary. Enjoyed this video a lot!
When i started watching your videos i didn't see a single 'killa move' , this game i saw them all.
Keep it up Mato!
What an instructional game it is! Thank you Mato Jelic for the selection and presentation.
Again an excelent video Mato.

'some people say tarrasch wanted to torture his opponent.... for longer' this just made my day..
cool video MatoJelic
i hve downloaded almost all your videos. its really good. keep up the good work..

Engin???
Thank you
If you wanna see some very nice sacrifices by Nimzovich check out the game:NN vs Nimzowistch,Lund 1921.
the game plays itself sometimes, if one looks it over well. hard to believe that last move could have been seen much ahead of time. brilliant
thank u very much Matojelic.. very good games.. i loved all of those in this category till 35 i am pretty sure i will love the remaing ones too :D.
I agree that this is one of your best videos!
Wow this was a very fun video mato :)
Love you dude, cheers
One of the fun things about this game is that in the end position, after Black has made four sacrifices (including the original pawn) material is equal on both sides but the white king is dead on the wrong side of the board.
Great video, thanks Mato!! Tarrasch was a genius!!
Thanks again Master Mato.
If we could request a video on the short game in your book where Nimzovisch defeats his opponent in 12 moves with the Ruy Lopez that would be most excellent !!!!!!!!!!!
MATO u are the best man! I love your videos!
And what a game!
Elegant.
Once again, thanks Mato. In the Mammoth book of Greatest Chess Games this is rated in the 3rd group, equal 11th-21st. But it's really helpful and enjoyable to watch your video.
Thanks Mato, this was a very beautiful game!
Great Video as always :P. Keep it up Mato
I agree, simply the best and most talented
to je odlična igra ... hvala mato
Lol Mato is so funny..."not the strrrongest move on earth"
I found the move in 10 seconds where taraasch took 1 hour
!!!! thank you mato for being such a good teacher!!!
Gracias!! excelentes videos
I agree with your choice. Nothing better than classical colors :)
Great post Mato!
"Taking king to no man's land for execution"! I lov the expression 😁👏
indeed you're a great instructor. and I like the way you pronounce opening (like oypening) :P
you are a really good teacher 'Mato'
Very good game.
I didn't put this into any analysis software, but at 8:39, is black really winning? White still has plenty of compensation for the queen after Bishop C3. Yes, black is a little bit ahead, but white will still have 2 rooks, a bishop and 3 pawns (after Queen takes A2).
mato...u r simply awsome
Need to master these double bishop sacs.
At 7:30, why doesn't black threaten checkmate by moving its Queen to g4?
+rakatumu nevermind, it's because white can just move the pawn at f2 one space ahead.
White will play f3
At 11:02, Qe2 is mate in one, no need for Qg3 mate in three. Am I crazy?
1. Qe2+ Kf4. King is escaping!
I possibly would have considered the move pawn to d4 when I was at black position, but i must say, that i accidently spoiled it beacause first: I wouldn't knew all the variations and second, i accidently skipped to a part where i already saw the d4 pawn was captured! :(, my computer hung himself up, but my chess intuition would have probably saif the same,... the goal was to make white bishop free and destroying a little of king's pawn structure making white king more vulnurable!
Very enjoyable!!
They do not play like that any more. The competition is very big and puts pressure on the players. They want to be careful and take no risk.
One of the best games I've seen!
Beautiful
Although I have not seen the game to the end, but @ 0:36, I prefer Knight to g5 instead of castle
This is my best video to date. So explicit and riddled with so much humour. Thank you Mato!! I learn so much from your channel.
Wow. Stunning. How was Tarrasch able to see so deeply? Just lots and lots of practise? Must be something else.
Patience anyone with 1 hour and a bit of chess knowledge can do great things on hard positions
+Johan Echeverria ''anyone''
hey mato, the person who disliked this video is a loser and got absolutely thrashed by you in a chess game. I love your videos. keep going!
What a lovely game. Thank you.
Mato, you did not tell me why you are no longer using your Green and Blue boards?
Amazing game , thanks Mato
at critical position why not take with white bishop first, then after king takes, black bishop takes. then Qh4+. Kg2, Qg4+.Kh, Rd4. rook cant be stopped from chak mate on h-file. i cant find a sensible defens on the way there, any thoughts?
he doesn't have to take the dark squared bishop, he can play something like Nf3 or probably Rh1or Ne4 and start running to the queenside
Am I going Crazy? Very clear missed mate Queen E2 for Black? at 10:48.
Asher Woolf King could still go F4
At move #3 c4 why didn't take d5???
1:58 "Lining black rook with the queen"
Man there are 8 square and 7 of them are full with pieces. But I love you Mato.
Prospektus Vys And two of those pieces were removed within the next three moves. X-ray attacks can be very effective when pieces start moving.
Very good game!
What's amazing about this game, Tarrasch definitely saw the quick win, but went for the excruciating alternative just to rub it in.
Lovely game. Thank you.
That game was outrageous!
Mato must have the highest rating in enjoyable Chess commentary - 2900+ !
Nimzowitsch has really a tough chess life, this game is brutal !
I remember him been also humiliated by capablanca, been killed with the principles discribed is his own book.
Chess, a mental torture.
at 8:11 why not Qd3 defending the King?
That move will end really badly for white no matter how you look at it.. Black just has to play Qf4+ if queen defends white loses a knight, if king moves white has to sack his queen for a rook to prevent check mate.
+WulaFoo 1.Qd3 does not prevent checkmate, the move is 1. ..Rh5 2.Qh3 Rxh3#
Continuing... I notice that in earlier periods of chess, that players seldom resigned even in hopeless situations. Was this just an etiquette thing? Was it in bad taste? Nowadays, games almost never end in checkmate.
great video thanks
Mato , isnt site : St.Petersburg
And event: "?"
check your description
very nice played!
very good game and commentary

beautiful game
I notice that in earlier ages of chess,
How about one of those games where Nimzovitch beat Tarasch???
well done sir!
I think the analyists were more accurate than Tarrach. At 11:45, can't Nimzowitsch play Qf6? It loses the Queen, but White doesn't die. Am I missing something obvious?
Great game!
What a game?
there was NO double bishop sacrifice. just one!
False title
I love how you say "castle"
awesome game i really liked it
amazing !
"No-man's-land for execution!" I love all the Mato-isms spawning from down under!
Thank you Mato :)
what a sadistic game!
"War is coming, we might as well sac our bishops now!"
