This is a true masterpiece from one of the best chess players in history. White wins here and many variations are just pure genius.
This study was composed by Paul Keres in 1936.

I did not think the Queen sacrifice would work, but it does!

That was truly brilliant. I have always loved Keres and especially his games against Fischer

Once again, first move was easy but I couldn't find the follow up after the double check!

I saw the queen sacrifice on a2 immediately, but didn't understand the point, because the white knight can't move to c2... However, the pattern was already known. Sam Loyd The Chess Monthly 11/1857 1. Preis has created a tricky chess problem in a mirrored position: White: Kc7, Qb2, Rg8 Nf2 Black: Kg2, g3, f4 White mate in 3 moves: 1.Ng4+ Kh1 2.Qh2+ gxh2 3.Nf2# It is composed much earlier.

"This knight really wants to be sacrificed" *Queen sacrifice wins*. I would have been stuck here for like an hour if I paused and tried to figure that one out.

Never occurred to me once that the Queen was able to be sacrificed! What was the specific reason the ingenious Keres never became World Champion?

Keres called “ Paul the Second “because he was a great player often denied victory at the death in the old Soviet days. We believe he wuz robbed.

I love your channel, but I question how the black king out ran his pawns, not very likely or realistic.

@williamsquires3070 23 күн бұрын

(@3:23) - Ermmm, no. After Nc2, Black simply plays … b2+, Kd1 (forced) b1=Q+, Ke2 (again, forced) Bxc2 and white will get a draw at best.

@Chess-strategy 23 күн бұрын

Nc2 puts black in check, so that line is not possible.

Keep the K out of corners!

Perhaps, in the final position in this video, black can draw by flagging himself, i.e. running out of time. Please discuss

@oldskyggen2423 23 күн бұрын

This is a study, not a game, but supposing the players were using a clock, a draw would not be possible. If White runs out of time, they simply lose because Black has enough material on the board to mate his opponent, and if Black runs out of time, they lose because White is still able to give checkmate even though they only have a king and a knight on the board.
