Bro was so rage that he never came back 😂

That's not how you take a loss. You must turn around quickly, pretending someone called you and "accidentally" knock over the game board with your arm. Won't work if your opponent has photographic memory though.

Great game by Steinitz, 60 years old at the time of this game (well, technically 59 but close enough) yet his mind was still very sharp. von Bardeleben apparently was very salty that there was a checkmate in 12 but instead of just resigning he just lets the clock expire?! Stay salty, sir. 🤣🤣

After the skewer on the king and queen mid-sequence I guarantee you many players will snatch that queen before you can say 'zugzwang' not realizing the back rank mate Black threatens. Another lesson on not being greedy. 😁😁

1:20 Why take the rook when you can checkmate in 2, tunnel vision?

One time, at primary school, we had a chess class during the lunch time. I played a guy and i was winning (It was mate in 1) but my opponent had more time on his clock than dinner time. I had no choice but to offer a draw, because if the game didn't end, it wasn't considered in the score. I got 9.5 out of 10 this year.

Bardeleben didn't leave because he couldn't take a loss, according to W.H.K. Pollock he left the hall without resigning and allowed his time to run out because of the disturbance caused by spectators applauding winners of games, and he informed Steinitz personally of this.

This guy wear a sunglasses indoor with a dark environment always impress me.

If engine can't slove this puzzle mean engine can't see mate in 12

[jeffreyherrera]

So, instead of da sacrifice, he did da tyyyyme sacrifice?

[daleleisenring]

At 1:20 you blundered! Dont take the rook! Qf7+ Kh1 Qxh7++
I play for mate!

[WHAT-gmxm]

Your video help me a lot next video on opening & play in stuck position

[Magnet-elcy]

1:21 I think you missed a win. So if King goes to g8 QF7 check only move Kh8 then Qh7# Checkmate. Right?

[sahasmajety]

woww i did not see that one coming but what if the black king move do f8? at the start? can you tell me what would happen? also you deserve a sub
