Bronstein writes that Kotov wanted to reach the 40th move in order to adjourn. So he repeats moves but to avoid a threefold, he must slightly change the position, hence the capture on -d5.
Ah!
@MrLightAngelus Yes - to do with move 40 - makes sense. So the adjournment happened at move 40.
Thanks, one of the prettiest games ever - the slow manoeuvring beforehand is really what makes the move special though, as Bronstein said in his tournament book (Zurich, 1953), "all his previous play went to prepare" the sacrifice. I think the analysis by massed ranks of Russian players didn't happen until later. Here are two Soviet players anyway, so I doubt either would have had a team helping them - I expect all Kotov might have done is chatted his ideas through with a fellow competitor.
Avoiding the draw by repetition to adjourn the game is certainly the best explanation. Especially if he also had clock issues. But even if he saw the checkmate it would be much safer to simply adjourn the game so that he could double-check it. But why not snatch as many pawns as you can without letting the king out of the mating net? That way if you were mistaken about the checkmate or blunder those extra pawn(s) may come in handy. All good reasons.
These are great, thank you so much KingsCrusher
The answer to your question is Black had to scramble to time control at move 40, repetition is often the means. Kotov had consumed almost all the playing time whilst conceiving the positional exchange sac
📚 My chess courses: kingscrusher.tv/chesscourses
thanks for this
...and the other thousands videos you made.
I think everyone saw the queen sacrifice possibility, some 2-3 possible moves that made him walk but myself wasn't sure was really worth it.
that was real deep thinking
love these
Bronstein also says: "there has to be mate in this position; most probably Kotov saw its basic outlines as far back as his 30th move. 33...Nd7 Here's the proof: had the q sac been "accurately calculated", Kotov would instead have chosen Stahlberg`s postmortem suggestion, 33...Ng4, depriving White of the reply 34.Rg4."
He also suggests that Nxd5 was just a way to prevent risking a repetition in the position.
i actually saw it and how it worked almost as soon as i looked at it. that really suprised me lol
This is a fantastic series.
Wow amazing Queen sac. Thanks for sharing this match, and this amazing mating sequence.
Nxe5 was just to prevent draw and get to adjournment - he then *got* Bxg5 when he analyzed with his team apparently...
Hello Kc, with regards to the Knight taking the D5 Pawn, maybe he just was trying to buy some time to try to work out what to do. Then he finally found the plan that he needed to force the win through.
I guess whatever color is on the bottom moves first.
I also have kotov's book "think like a grandmaster" but I ve never read anything like that there. Contrary, Kotov proposes to intuitively sort out the most relevant candidate moves and not sift everything you see over the board like computer program does.
I believe there was some website (I can't remember) that said that Kotov and his analysts worked together to find the combo after the sac...
By the way, nice analysis kingscrusher.
maybe Nxd5 is simply to avoid draw by 3 position repeats; to ensure this would not happen
night takes to free that square for the rook if needed the night could always piot back to the square just keeping control of the netting area
Wait wait wait...Why does the King HAVE to take after 1...QxPch? Why not 2. KN1 ? After that the White King can just start throwing pieces out (eg after 2...RR3; 3. BR4) along the KR and KN files to make space for the King + delay the attackers? (...tho I suppose in the final analysis, White’s chances of surviving may have looked - and objectively been - better after 2. KxQ.
kingcrusher, you seem to be interested in Kotov and curiously I noticed you compared his behaviour with "cat playing mouse" in this game. The laughy thing is that "Kotov" is indeed translated as " cat's " from Russian.
As to the game, I surely guessed the first move, queen sacrifice, but only saw a draw after that. The quess itself is courtesy to your hint that " there is a sacrifice here."
@kingscrusher i think Kotov let hiself down by missing ng4 i thought his whole raisin d'etre was to calculate , calculate and then calculate some more after initiating the queen sac you would have thought he could see this simple enough continuation. It kind of fits in with your earlier disdane of his book in previous videos because missing just one easy enough line could cost you dearly when just pressing your advantages risk free in simpler positions will always guarantee a result .
White had a queen, that could have xA5ed, that was not even most likely thought of during the D5 of the "Cat-and-Mouse" game. It could have saved him from having to witness the "brilliant moves" later on, via two to three probable variants.
maybe he was thinking he could get his knight to e6 at some point to threaten the rook on g5
Kg1 after Q takes pawn??
Beautiful queen sac, but can someone explain why Rh6 isn't winning for black as well?
Nxd5 might have just been a blunder since he let the white queen into the position for a longer mate threat.
I found the move!
HI Kings!
I'd love to hear your views on using A.I. for society management purposes. Have you ever heard of the Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Movement?
"checking paradise". hehe..
i think he still thinking if bishop takes rook is correct.
Kingscrusher: What would happen if he had played R h6 as his first move?
You should say if it is white or black to move before you ask the audience to guess the move.
@gologram I didn't know that - that's quite funny and coincidental! Thanks for the info :)
33.Kg5 wasn't analized.
wheatley is that you?
No.
Locutus D'Borg Yes.
G2 to G4
Boohoo I won 1million billion bonus points!!!!! Anyone knows were can I trade them for crusher dollars?
