This is game 9 from the 1954 World Chess Championship match between Vasily Smyslov, challenger, and Mikhail Botvinnik, champion.
The French Defense was present in several of their games in this match. Botvinnik plays the Winawer variation in this one, and elects to maintain the pin once questioned with 5.a3. Smyslov's reply is quick to highlight the vulnerable weak dark squares in Botvinnik's camp.

Once upon a time, I gave up chess coz I felt inferior not knowing the theory. But after Jerry explained the positional play by these masters and demonstrated much of it himself in many of his games, chess is much easier to play. So, thank you, Jerry 😍

it took me a while to wrap my head around the difference between ignoring the rook and saving it, but I got there! I always feel like your videos explain everything just enough to leave the viewer with some time to be critical themselves.

It's an interesting video. I play the winawer with black and even today in the main line after 8.Qxg7 Rg8 9.Qxh7 this bloody h-pawn can cause a great deal of problems. I love those kind of positions because on one side you have Harry the h-pawn who's running like it's the Olympics and on the other side you have some queenside initiative and can get to the king.

Hi Jerry, thanks for the video.. I have a question for you: I've noticed, you often analyse (greatly!) rather old games: is that because in the last 10-20 years it's harder (or impossible) to find a 25 moves game between GMs that isn't a boring draw? Nowadays people like Carlsen, Fabiano, Vishi, Hikaru, MVO, Liren, Karjakin etc... in longer games would never commit an mistake or a blunder. Is that right? Cheers

Fantastic speed, in this game. Very quick and drastic changes. A quick question: I wanted to know if on the move 7 (at 1:26) it is possible to advance the pawn b4 to b3. I get the feeling that this would have maybe made for a slower game, more position control-oriented (as it feels like he might have liked it), but I haven't played a single game since 15 so I'm no expert. I tried giving the position of the move 7 to a chess engine (Stockfish 11), and it did actually recomment b4b3, so I wanted to know your insight about it. (Used the nextchessmove . com website.)

Can someone explain the plans behind moves 14-16 after 13. h4 Bd7? It seems confusing why white develops with Bg5, Nd4 and Rb1 if the h pawn is really so fast

@ajarnray4115 6 жыл бұрын

Wow, how easy it is to give up white's advantage securing that rook. I would have made that move in a second it seems so logical and then push the pawn. Chess is very complicated indeed. Thanks for this excellent instructional game!

@dyrati4650 6 жыл бұрын

After Ng6, black's knight is tied down to defense of the rook. White could play Bd3, threatening to take the knight, then the rook. The only way to get out of that is to play Rf8, but then the h pawn is hanging, Bh6 is coming, and it's pretty unpleasant for black.

At 4:42, I play Ng5. I want to take F7... I think that position has problems later. I'm not so sure about that one.

If bishops actually morph into rooks when they get to f6 or the mirrored square, c3, we should call that the Bishop to Rook variant! XD

Wow how many people would actually blunder in that final critical postion and actually give a check and push the pawn, looks good but tactically ruins the game, such a complex yet delightful this game of chess.

As a french defense player i always doubted the winawer. Why on earth would you diminish your stronger bishop to a punching bag for some pawn lunges/ invest tempi to knock out that knight on C3? Maybe a stronger player (well that's easy) may give me some reasons to give this a shot nonetheless? :D
