- Chess is a race. In today's game between two Polish masters, White isn't hasty enough with castling, and Black finds a stunning means of trapping the king in the middle of the board and unleashing a devastating attack.
Lessons:
* Attacks on the uncastled king are all about time.
* Be sure you have a plan to get castled in the Nimzo-Indian.

Schmidt was the first polish player who acquired his first grandmaster norm and it was in 1973, (the second norm and a title few years later) of course after Rubinstein and Najdorf who gained the honorary Grandmaster titles in 1950. He is very strong and famous Polish player who was Polish Champion 7 times - so he is very well known in the chess society but i head about him for the first time from your channel :)
Kuligowski appeared on the chess scene like lightning, like a meteor and just like the meteor quickly went out. In 1983 he took part in the prestigious world top tournament in Wijk aan Zee. Despite two winning games with Viktor Korchnoi and Jonathan Speelman, it was not a successful performance - with the result of 4½ points from 13 games he took the last, 14th place. After this tournament Kuligowski stopped competing in chess and took up business.
Schmidt is the first Polish official grandmaster since the year 1976. Kuligowski is the second Polish grandmaster since 1980 year. Both players plus Alexander Sznapik were very strong points of the Polish Olympic Team at the turn of the 70s and 80s. Wikipedia : ''(..) Kuligowski played for Poland in three Chess Olympiads.
In 1978, at second board in 23rd Chess Olympiad in Buenos Aires (+8 -1 =4);
In 1980, at third board in 24th Chess Olympiad in La Valletta (+7 -0 =6);
In 1982, at third board in 25th Chess Olympiad in Lucerne (+7 -3 =2).
He won individual gold medal at Buenos Aires 1978 and silver medal at La Valletta 1980. (..)'' .
Bh3 is very nice!
Love these games!
What a find! A forty year old obscure masterpiece. Are you Kuligowski's nephew?
This was the best game of the first half of 1978, as voted by the Chess Informant jury. I suppose Mikhail Tal enjoyed his eyes with this game of chess.
O:12 - yes, its quite close :D
The more that Schmidt is a German surname from origin :)
