Letsplaychess.com presents Najdorf's Polish Immortal

[iliginjaili]

this scares me

[artmelik]

wow that'a amazing

[bdrasin]

One of my favorite games - it would have been interesting to be inside Najdorf's head to see just when he realized what he had done!

[aeshma619]

Good game, excellent commentary, lousy audio.

[croopaN]

wow nice game really beatifull!

[amancalledfroggy]

[JoshWiniberg]

One of my all time favourite games. Love it :)

[spaghettionetime]

wonderful!

[HappyHungYO]

Amazing!

[roaddog481]

Simply amazing.  White still has all of his major and minor pieces and still gets mated.! True genious by Najdorf. Thanks for the great vid and commentary.

[bendkafka]

A relentless attack! A truly great game. Thanks for posting.

[samirhossain]

love your videos canstein :D

[ojonada]

This game is another reason for me to be proud to be Polish :) He wasn`t Miguel Najdorf but MIECZYSŁAW NAJDORF :)

[CalamarCAP]

He was Miguel Najdorf.

[ojonada]

No!!! He was MIECZYSŁAW NAJDORF... HE was POLISH, but after II world war he spent his life in argentina where he was called Miguel.

[vibovitold]

Canstein2 is obviously mistaken when he says Najdorf was born Argentinian (at 1:40) - but I can't quite get what he says right after (is it: "he was born in Argentina... then Poland"? Born twice? ;)). This master WAS born as Mieczyslaw Najdorf, WAS later known as Miguel Najdorf, but....... obviously must have played THIS game under his BIRTH NAME, since it was played BEFORE the war :)

[vibovitold]

Not that it's most important here anyway, so don't get me wrong :) 5 stars for the great video

[TheOneBlackSheep1973]

@ojonada Another? (just kidding)

[gologram]

Najdorf is a great player but I'd rather say that he needed his oponent's help to finish in such a brilliant way.Remember that was all about White's blunder with Knight g5.Karpov may not seem such a shining tactitian but it just may be because of fortune didn't give him such soft opponents as Najdorf had

[fu65536]

King h1 also looks like a mistake. I think White has better chances after king takes bishop on h2. After queen takes the knight on g5, white can move the knight from e2-f4-h3 to halt black's attack on the king side.

[battramcheese]

That was a beautiful game. One of those games that the opposition didn't have a chance after the first check. Great commentary.

[Dorfio]

Yes, it's definitely one of the best games I've seen.

To sacrifice all 4 minor pieces for a win is really something.

[Majnu2006]

5 stars for this one!
