This event was played in Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Zürich. 1 These are the games in order according to David Bronstein's excellent book, Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953. He participated in the tournament with the strongest players in the world at that time in a candidates match to determine the next challenger to world champion Mikhail Botvinnik.
The Swiss Chess Federation spent 100,000 Swiss francs in order to stage the event, which was one of the reasons they insisted that host countries pay the travel expenses for their respective players. Prize money for first place was 5,000 Swiss francs. Alois Nagler was tournament director. 1 All contestants brought a second except for Bronstein and Reshevsky: Miroljub Trifunovic (Gligoric), Salomon Flohr (Taimanov), Julio Bolbochan (Najdorf), Andre Lilienthal (Petrosian), Mikhail Beilin (Averbakh), Carel Benjamin van den Berg (Euwe), Kristian Skold (Stahlberg), Tibor Florian (Szabó), Alexey Sokolsky (Boleslavsky), Viktor Moiseev (Kotov), Igor Bondarevsky (Geller), Vladimir Simagin (Smyslov), and Alexander Kazimirovich Tolush (Keres).

Very instructive loss. Thanks for doing this series. You do an excellent job of explaining what’s going on in the minds of the players. Thanks again!
I've had that book for decades. You provide great commentary to DB's fantastic analysis.
Ah, yes, my daily dose of pawnography
Salacious Crumb Good one
Well, I found out about your channel a few days ago and I REALLY appreciate the work you're doing. These videos are so instructive. Thanks a lot man! Greetings from Brasil!
You know, Mr. Agadmator, you explain chess much better than other chess channels. Especially for people not exceptional at chess, like me. I'm only about a 1700 rated player but I can still understand your explanations of the game. And when I'm bored, I just watch what Medo is doing.
One of my favorite vids of yours. Love the history and background you give at the start. Massive tourny!!
"Elfin Geller needs no introduction"
instantly give him an intro
Like if u still didn't get the dark squared weakness thing
Very instructor video Agadmator, thank you for making it
Dude. You should make the board a different color scale when you are showing the hypothetical moves. And back to normal when the actual game commences again.
Good suggestion.
This is a slower game, but I love how you go thru all the variations and show how things can be so explosive just by tweaking small things here and there. Shows what potential chess has. I don't think I understand "dark square weaknesses" completely now, but at least this is a good start!
Love your analysis. And man that's so nice you do videos even though you're basically in a coma from a wretched cold. Snivel snivel, analyze analyze! =P (Before I mean when you were sick and looking like your nose was in the midst of being a world-record-breaking [germ] globe trotter.)
great co-incidence. started reading the same book today :). Looking forward to more videos from this book!
Hungarian "sz" = english "s", it was perfect at 2:18.
+Imre Nádor Thanks :)
Great learning! Thanks for uploading such videos.. Extremely informative!!
+agadmator That was very instructive! Please other games from that great book!
Thank you for the literature recommendation, Antonio. Just received my copy in the mail!
5:26 -- After Rxh8, then Qxb4 (defending the knight on e4 so that it will not be captured by the g2 bishop after White follows with Ne5+). While initially enamored of Nxb5, after all the exchanges to Qxb4, the engine rates the aftermath at only +0.35 at depth 25 (with the number slowly subsiding the longer it thinks, indicating a draw). As this offers no better prospects than the other drawish suggestions of Nd1, Ne5, Qd2, Qd1, b4, b3, or h3, it means that Bronstein's Nxb5, while exciting, is not in the end any better.
7:13 -- The problem with Nd5 is that it is not Nd7 (which defends the c6 approach square to the a6 pawn that White's knight would have to take).
8:30 -- Before any "queen-smoking", Black would play e4, blocking the White bishop (and f3 is followed by f5) as well as preventing Nd3 from e1. This is actually a drawn position with best play, e.g., Bh3, Ra8 ("smoke"), Qd4, etc.
11:15 -- After Qxa6, Black counters Nc3 -- and the game is a 0.00 dead-draw.
11:30 -- After Bh3, then Ra8 ("queen smoke"), Qd4, ...and the longer the engine crunches, the farther under 0.50 it goes.
16:18 -- Bronstein's advice is sound...but it shouldn't have mattered in this particular game because Qa7 was neither a winning ploy nor necessary to secure a draw.
Very interesting game! It has expanded my view of strong and weak squares. I will have to save the link and revisit this topic.
Very instructive game. That's a great book but there are a lot of draws. BTW I enjoyed the longer format and in depth analysis. Very good.
6:45 ahhh you got me :D
Hehe
Got me too
If you only have one bishop, having your pawns fixed on the same color creates problems. Scanning BCE shows that two pawns fixed is usually a loss. I've always thought of this as a bad bishop, not a color square weakness, although that is also correct. So, given this perspective, bxc5 is horrible because it unfreezes black's pawns from the white squares.
Yes a very instructive chess game.
Hey Agadmator... When you analyze the possibilities, are they spontaneous or pre-thought or engine helped?
+Srikantan N All of it :) sometimes I prepare, sometimes I do it myself and hope not to blunder :D
Good question. I'd like to know too.
Good to know :D I don't feel completely stupid now, just a tad bit :D
one of the best instructives
Please can someone tell me what playlist this is from? Brilliant video, would like to see more from the tournament/book. Thank you :)
lol, great picture of Geller... I don't know if he's a GM or an OG ;}
Najdorf also has a very prominent book about the the same tournament
Hi.agadmator,what's ur fide rating?
Great video keep up the good work
What a lesson!!!!!!
Watching these games makes me want to start playing again after 9 years
+T.A.D. G.R Best to start playing after a good rest. 9 years seems like plenty of rest :)
Sometimes I play on my phone or the computer. There doesn't seem to be a local chess club or anything.
I can't imagine Szabo losing to anyone except to Dragon or Luffy..or maybe Shanks..
Your like is 11 months late, but it's here.
If this game was on a live UA-cam channel of some GM or IM, they would have claimed the other person was cheating using a computer. What an amazing game.
The game was played in 1953 😂 cheating what cheating there was no chess engines at that time
They say that Bronstein did not write the book and he only analyzed some games. The real author was his patron Boris Wainstein who was a KGB Colonel and protected Brontein all his life. Najdorf wrote (he really did) a book about the same tournament and it was recently translated to english .
This video teaches an excellent chess lesson!
It would be really interesting if the white side played bishop to g2 for check and after create a battling for d5,but whatever(look at 13:50)
#suggestion
Today is the birthday of Efim Geller. You had never shown his legendary game against Salo Flohr in 1949 with this brilliant endgame move. Please please please) Even Stockfish can't see his move.
Geller is one of my favorites
Sir are you on chess.com. ??? what's your username??I would be glad to play with you...
Hello, Agadmator! Once I strengthen my end game, better watch out! ;)
+Poly Nikes Deal! :)
Mr agadmator i wanna see a game between deep blue and kasparov. Pls notice me
Been done to death by dozens of the best already.
Perhaps easy to under-estimate the power of White's c-file domination throughout this game
At 7:38 what if black played bishop to C6 , will he not save the position?
Do you know of any books that cover melanpenia and leucopenia?
Thanks
When you read a book, you play the games on the chessboard or on a virtual board?
+runforest If I have time, on board
A ko je Gligoric?
Need more Bronstein! Cover that WCC!!
Just a heads-up: You missed a quotation mark in the title. :)
The tides have turned in this game
"To lose one's objective attitude to a position, nearly always means ruining your game." Just what exactly does it mean??
nice video
at 14:38, couldn't he have played knight to g5 instead to take the pawn on h7 and make it even?
At 15:28, can't black win immediately with Rd3 attacking the white knight threatening Rd1# after the knight moves? Does anyone see a defense by white that doesn't lose a piece?
Black: Rd3. White: R×b4. Black: R×Ne3. White: Kd2. Black: Re2. White: K×Nc3. Black: R×Bg2. White: R×Ba4.
After rocks take pawns, black will be up a pawn.
Here's some (chess related) brain candy for y'all. Friday is here, cheers! ua-cam.com/video/Km024eldY1A/v-deo.html
What if black plays Qd8 instead of Ke7, giving up the queen for the rook but retaining his other rook? Then he'd only be down a pawn
why not bishop c6 at 10:10 ?
Ne6+ with a discovery on the bishop and winning the bishop
Did anyone else notice Ne3 by black after white queen captures a6 pawn? (That is if white played queen a7)
show some Kasparov games please...
Why in the world would he capture on c5 with the pawn if his plan was to bring the night to c5 in the first place it’s like he completely blew away his idea he had in the first place
Its weird that in chess, if you dont want to draw, if you just wish to play and have fun, you get a disadvantage and lose the game
agadmator's Chess Channel what if bishop captures pawn on 14:54
TUSHAR BASRA rook takes bishop
I'm not adagmator, but i guess the rook can just capture the bishop then
Are u love somuch chess we also love
Even Grandmasters do make mistakes In chess
Apparently Szabo didn't learn from his dark-square weakness problem:
