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

I saw that the knight check and the bishop pin could have been used, but I didn’t see that line. Nice vid.

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

Hard to believe a world class player would miss the queen king fork but he obviously did

Ya that was stupid. Took me about 20 seconds to spot that. People make mistakes that’s life.
