how does a gm not see that
zukertort is a zukerTARD
i couldnt spot the line but i saw the two 1st moves
A sequence of chess moves, usually ending with a person either in a better position, a piece ahead, or winning the game.
what’s a line?
He means that the bishop couldn’t take knight because it would have exposed the black king to a check by the white queen.
well it’s really just like that sometimes we make mistakes even if they are obvious
nobodies perfect u know
they didn’t have computer chess programs 140years ago
what do you mean by pind?
i couldnt spot the line.very simply….
bishop was pinned by queen on e1
perhaps it shows how far chess has advanced from then like anything else: compare with athletics where the records of the passed have been brushed away time and again
lmao, i laughed when i saw this
i saw that fork a mile away!
but wasnt he paying attention? this goes to show even grandmasters make mistakes…
why didnt the bishop take the challenging knight?
Ya that was stupid. Took me about 20 seconds to spot that. People make mistakes that’s life.
Hard to believe a world class player would miss the queen king fork but he obviously did
it was before Steinitz time,so good players didn’t know anything about center, pawn structure,and something like 1.Nf3 was something what only weak players played. Before Steinitz it was all like cafeteria chess
it was speed chess…
I saw that the knight check and the bishop pin could have been used, but I didn’t see that line. Nice vid.
king f7 white replies knight to h2 queen had two squares to move to (g6 or f5) either one leads to knight d3 check and the bishop will take the queen next move it’s slightly better but not by much
Wow.. It was so obvious..
Same here. Good vid.
