He got 99.9% accuracy. That's all you need to know.
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS GAME??? Rashid Nezhmetdinov is an outrageous chess player of a different species. See for yourself why.

I used to think Morphy was the most aggressive, then I found Tal. This guy might be even more extreme than both of them.
He is more aggressive than Tal. Tal even famously said his own favourite game wad the one he lost to Nezh in a game that I believe won a brilliancy prize. Agadmator has covered a lot of his games
I used to think tal was the most aggressive, then I found Martin.
Written in "Chess Openings For Black Explained" by Lev Alburt is a spectrum. The left most being least respect for material to the right meaning most respect for material. He has several people on each rung so I will use a number system here 1 being too little for material and 15 being too much respect for material Here it goes: 1. Nezhmetdinov ( out of spectrum, unhealthy disrespect for material) 2. Chigorin, Morphy, Shirazi ( left most of spectrum) 3. Marshall, Tal 4. Christiansen 5. Alekhine, Gulko, Denker 6. Bisguier 7. Alburt, Larsen 8. Fischer Geller 9. Kasparov ( just left of center in the spectrum) 10. Capablanca (just right of center in spectrum) 11. Larry Evans, Seirawan 12. Karpov, Steinitz 13. Petrosian ( Right most of spectrum) 14. Kortchnoi ( out of spectrum, unhealthy respect for pawns) Kortchnoi used to shout No!!!!! When people gave away pawns. "every pawn is a potential queen! Why you give away pawn? Why?!?!?" 😂
Rashid was actually Tal's teacher when he was young and I am not sure but probably also his second when he won the 1960 world championship
Yes
Nezhmetdinov was one of the greatest attacking chess players ever, it's ironic he didn't even attain the title of grandmaster, but he beat many of the best players of his generation
99.9 % accuracy? let stockfish 16 run this game on a modern computer for 3,5 hours, and i guess the accuracy will be lower. another reason why rashid got 100 % or 99 % accuracy, could be because rashid's opponent played bad.

"Korchnoi". Otherwise, great list.
Its best to be a capablanca,retain the material as potential ammo,but also give it away when its useful
Man it’s more fun to watch the left spectrum guys 😄
Except you study Petrosian games to learn how to sac exchange for win in the endgame, and centre of your scale should be around 7.5! :). Petrosian may have been the "World's strongest chicken" but that really just meant he did not go for unclear sacrifices. Also, Shirov and Kramnik should be on this list.
If there'd been a number 15, it would have to be Kermit Norris. He had two mottos: "No pawn respect!" and "Take care of your pawns, and the pieces will take care of themselves."
As a 900 rated player who lucky guessed every move in the 9-move mate like 2 seconds before you said it, this really boosted my self-esteem
Im 900 too but almost got every move right. Too many calculations at once mess my brain up
Finding the moves one at a time is not the hard part, any 1000ish rated player could intuit most of Whites moves rather quickly since most were forcing. The problem comes with these knife edge sharp lines that you have sacrificed everything there is no inaccuracies, only blunders. For every possible Enemy move you have but One move that doesn’t immediately lose you the game. The problem is starting way back at the beginning you must exhaustively prove that every single line leads to checkmate. There may be well over 100+ moves branching from your move 1. You must prove before making that first move that every single move of dozens and dozens ALL lead to either checkmate or any obvious and overwhelming advantage. You must organize this all in your head, the whole time you’re clock is ticking down to 0
Throughout this video I just kept saying: "I saw that but I didn't understand it".
Why are you guys lying though 😂😂, you can't be 1000 and below and find those that easily
@@kelvinmomanyi8850 no it wasnt easy, takes too much time but definitely possible
The game is from Nezhmetdinov's simultaneous exhibition that he performed in Kazan (Russia, USSR at that time), in 1951. The opponent's name is Lusikal.
FInding a forced mate is 9 is still crazy to me.
I found a mate in 8 one time.
I mean, I don't think people really "find" mates with that many moves. Like, I paused and would've played the first 3 moves of that pattern just because they look favorable, and - when you reach that position - you can calculate the rest, and so on and so on.
@@memeityy when
@@abhishekvijay4921 In a game I was playing
Instead I find mate in 5
looking at the comments it's suprising to know not many people know about nezhmetdinov. Fun fact: He defeated Tal in 3 out of their 4 matches, and reached a peak elo of 2700 defeating multiple world champions and GMs like polugaevsky, smyslov, spassky, tal, etc. without ever being granted the GM status
Tal was likely shocked that somebody was even more aggressive than him
bro shoulda been a gm goddamm i can't even get past 700 elo ☠
His peak rating wasn't 2700. 2706 was what Chessmetrics estimated his rating was at his peak. That's not the same as fide elo.
@@bigcobrob989 he wasn't shocked, if my memory serves, after one of their defeats tal stated that was either the best day or the best game of his life because if you watch nezhmetdinovs games, they're absolutely beautiful. Tal later took Rashid on his team for the upcoming candidates tournament and world championship, and their friendship lasted until his death.
@@ishan7126 yes that's a pure estimation because back then in his prime which was during 1940s-50s at max, russian athletes werent given freedom by the state to travel abroad to even the top of their athletes and GMs, let alone Rashid because albeit his strength, he was never allowed outside either. There was no way of establishing a strong FIDE rating for him for that matter and this is also why he never got a GM title, he was never allowed to play for GM norms in his peak and when the time did come, it was too late. He however did travel outside once with many strong russian IMs to europe when the journalists complained that the USSR only ever sends the strongest. Needless to say, Rashid crushed everyone he faced and finished 2nd by defeating the Italian Champion of the time and many more
The fact that the rook was hanging on h8 for like 15 moves 😆
Lol
Still he does not take it for respect his oppo
@@samyadolai6574there’s always first things first, seldomly is being greedy it! Ever watch Point Break? They were good because they never got greedy. The one time they do, and what happens? Things got messy. What good is cleaning out the vault to never be able to spend it? In my uneducated opinion, that wave of waves wasn’t worth the loss of lives. Why did he unlock the cuff and give him that big wave? I analyze variables as I play. The Rook was never really free, it come with a cost. Even without a clock, chess is a race from the start.
I love aggressive chess so much it’s just so pure and exciting
"This queen is trapped, while the other queen is cheating on her husband". I maay have laughed a little too hard at this one.
11:20 me as a 300 elo who guessed the "hardest move to find in chess": oh.
lol same
A Nezmedtinov game to brighten your day.😊
Hello everyone!
Cannot stop watching if it is a video on Rashid's game! Like the way you described/analyzed the game. Subscribed your channel. Carry on :)
I dont think anyone else ever played like Rashid. His existence belittles the title of Grandmaster.
This is an incredible video! Reguardless of the match you showed, you still explained it very well but still made it easily digestible for people of any skill level
Such a beautiful game! I think I have fall in love with your content. Your content is pretty simple, but the analysis of the games and your pure interest on the games and chess makes your videos interesting and fun to watch. And I personally love chess, I play chess for fun, but I am learner, so I am also learning a lot from your videos! And I do want to see what playing against you will feel like.
Thank you so much Daniel ❤️ I admire your words
Bro, that was brutal. Into your channel here i jump mate. Great seasoning of commentary
My many thanks!
I got excited about the moving back of the knight because I saw that before you described it, and have done so before in checking other players.
Reads title immediately closes video. Thats all i needed to know. Thank you
This man didn't just sacrifice his pieces, he took his opponent's souls.
Levy would be proud
Nazamaldinov was a brilliant attacker and still has , arguably, the best Queen sacrifice of all time. His insane calculations remind me of a nother great chess player less known by the young generation..the Bulgarian super GM and former world champion Veselin Topalov.
Came for the clickbait, stayed for the great commentary.
The fact i got a chess ad, makes this even more surreal
12:06 liked that joke was very unsuspected thrown in there, video overall good quality and interesting
He was actually Tal's teacher, I think, so this insane attacking style is kinda expected. Brilliant player.
No way hahaha
@@caballitodetotora7087 I just looked it up, and maybe teacher isn't the right word. But they were good friends, Nezhmetdinov's chess inspired Tal, they played tons of friendly blitz against each other, and Nezhmetdinov was Tal's second when Tal played for the world championship.
@@grannywalter Yeah most people playing for WC brings gms as their second, and tal decided to bring madness itself
A piece of me died every time you called him "Nez". Brutal
God, someone who feels the same as me... -_-
bro did only 2 mistakes and 2 inaccuracies, that was harsh! imagine if he blundered
He Sacrifices, THE ROOK!!!
really enjoy your commentary style mate
Bro woke up and choose some brilliant moves:))
Great breakdown!!👊🏼
Polugaevsky beat Nezhmetdinov about ten times. (Few people if any aren't interested in that nor his losses.) But the game Nezhmetdinov beat him once and that game is an absolute immortal. In fact type just type in *Nezhm* and youtube will auto display in the third or fourth result Nezhmetdinov vs Polugaevsky. Yasser Seirawan does a very good presentation of that game. Nezhmetdinov, Rashid Gibiatovich is perhaps (my opinion) the most under-rated chess player ever. He didn't get the opportunity to become a GM but he won the Russian Chess Championship in 1950, 1951, 1953, 1957 and 1958. Nezhmetdinov was an absolute savage who could easily mate anyone's king.
"the most aggressive player" *plays the queens gambit*
put the link to your video in your description - funniest chess channel out there and only one video in
I love your energy when showing anything incredible... You can be a great commentator as well. ❤❤
thank you so much Digi ❤️
Very nicely presented Zach!! Light yet informative.
99% accuracy and that was all i needed to know
Bro said the dude's excellent move was the WORST MOVE in the game. My best move are bpunders and inaccuracies 💀💀
What software is this
H4 also works when black king is at G5. Point is at that point there's bound to have check mate
he decided to play the 9/11 variation
i just did an partyanalysis (idk why) and it turns out on engine depth 99 its 100.0 accuracy why does this even have so many likes?
this is crazy, could you send us some screenshot?
@@guilhermebgirardi brotha how
@@guilhermebgirardi how should i do that???
well youtube of course do not accept direct images so itd need to be hosted on a link but no need to bother about that, thanks anyway!
I think Tal usually sacrifices two queens and a king for a checkmate.
*What's better the BEST move or a GREAT move?*
My man is Stockfisch irl
He murdered his opponent many times in this game💀
“Giga chad king” got me rolling 😂🤣😆
"...while this queen is, u know, cheating in her husband" 😂
hands down, the best analysis video id ever seen on chess
Knight going backwards check was the first one I found
This guy was really a genius, and there is another amazing video with his history here in youtube
.I like your videos, you go straight into the game
MANY MANY thanks for showing this to the world, what a brilliancy!
I would break my own chess board if I was playing the black pieces
That intro gave me a heart attack
Yr contract is always the best Zach I enjoyed it 💗💗
RASHID is my all time favorite
Bravo!! Great video all the way around, Zach!
Thanks Barry!! ❤
@@thechessnerd Yo, Chessnerd. 99.9 % accuracy? let stockfish 16 run this game on a modern computer for 3,5 hours, and i guess the accuracy will be lower.
i got 99.7 accuracy today with 1 brilliant move but THIS is TOO perfect to be true
Anything could be possiblw though
That thumbnail is absurd 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Before knight f3..... there was a checkmate
In this brilliant checkmate by Nezhmetdinov in the center of the board, who was the player of the black pieces?
Nez is one of my favourite players!!!
dude my teacher in summercamp got 100% accuracy with 8 book moves 2 brilliant and 1 great, also he is 19
Nezhmetdinov is a truly sick man
I could have watched the board for a million years and I don't come up with Queen to b3. It's just insane.
When he said kf3 was the hardest type move to spot in chess , i just lost it. Cuz I was thinking about that check
Nez even frustrated Tal. Incredible attacker
11:10 - "it's the hardest move" my 600 elo ass: "ha i knew it. hikaru, you're next!"
Ive always thought Rashid's games were very beautiful, much more than Tal's games
I got 100 accuracy in a middle game review
even after a6 Qa4 would've won at least a pawn and the game would be over soon
Of all recaps so far, this one was the closest to bringing me out of retirement.
Is g4 really a decoy if the following Kxg4 is still the best move for black?
man really killed him
and he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOK
When the king goes to f6, knight f7 would have been a faster forced mate. Discovered check by the bishop. Pawn blocks, then checkmate with bishop takes pawn.
Ke6
Yeah thats a brilliant moves.
7:20 brooo why the hell am I looking at your face instead of the board?! Imagine if you're watching football and the camera cuts away from the game to show a potrait shot of the commentators lmao Don't do that man, nobody is here to look at your face.
Levy: THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What if before the last move black plays qf3 and takes the knight?
I got 100 accuracy by playing fried liver💀
Hey zach whats ur board theme?
Your definition of mating net is incorrect. When Nezhmetdinov first had mate in 9, thats when the mating net began. It means a guaranteed mate threat with perfect play.
the engine says to keep tension with nf3 while nezhmetdinov cashs in by taking the knight, its the opposite of what you said
As Gotham said in one of his videos:”Bro took his SOUL”
he is probably the only guy that can beat tal, fischer, and morphy
He was using stockfish on the ceiling
Forced mate in fifty eight moves.
I made 99.999 when my opponent made such a big blunders
That single excellent move.
How he has played 26 moves and his opponent has 23???
11:16 "Hardest move to find" Ahem, i found that in less than 3 seconds.
I managed to find the mate in 9 up until the knight moved backward. kinights may only engage, never retreat. knights moving backaward is just plain wrong. nezhmetdinov is a legend.
My jaw fell so far I bit my toe. You commentary is as good as the chess. Well nearly.
The mate wasn't nearly as hard to find as you made it sound. That was literally the only thing I even considered
11:10 This is what I'm talking about, this was extremely easy to find and you called it the hardest move to find in chess Edit: Now that I look back at it, I just spaced out and accidentally found that because I forgot at 9:23 you could take the rook. So I was a little wrong on how easy the mate was to find, great vid
Night to F3 was the only difficult move
I’ve had a 100% accuracy
