Esteban Canal (April 19, 1896 in Chiclayo, Peru -- February 14, 1981 in Varese, Italy) was a leading Peruvian chess player who had his best tournament results in the 1930s. FIDE made him an honorary Grandmaster in 1977. Canal had an even record against Max Euwe.
---
Canal played his most famous game, sometimes called the "Peruvian Immortal," at a simultaneous exhibition. In just 14 moves, he sacrificed both his rooks and his queen to finish with Boden's mate.

  • 1:15 bishop c3 then if pwonc3 qc3 check then a1 then q d4

  • @ooooooohmy yes you are right. I am not dissing him at all, i think vorojtsovs videos are great. all of them. this one just confused me a little bit, but often when you think too much, you miss out on the little important things. sorry

  • @aslegue are you completely simple. obviously the position changes between him saying the threat is not real and it becoming 'real' - that is he castles, meaning he can now take the bishop due to a forced mate. i suggest before u start dissing him u actualy study the position a little longer.

  • "Pawn a3 attacks bishop on b4, but this is not a real attack, black actually saw that this attack was not real..." pause and think.. "this was a mistake cus white can just take bishop on b4...":...... WHAT THE F....

  • 0:20 swallow.

  • if the castle didn't happen, the forced mate would not happen that way

  • still don't get why castle was a mistake
