Pillsbury wins with the Pillsbury Attack in 26 moves 

I think it’s pretty awesome that a game played 123 years ago can inspire the chess minds of today. Maybe it is in part because Pillsbury was ahead of one’s time. ♥ "Instructive Chess Games" ru-vid.com/group/PLQsLDm9Rq9bFHdffLacgG2cQTHM0LXSRG

Loving these regular uploads Jerry. I've been watching your channel for 7 years!

You're right, that geometry was beautiful.

Keep the activity Jerry we missed u

Good to know he is able to win with his own attack:)

This is top level demonstration and teaching

Hi Jerry. Thx from Germany

Nothing like a quality chess network video at night to stir the mind & inspire my next great attack!

Thanks for all the recent uploads Jerry. I’m sure it’s a tough slog but I know I speak for a lot of people when I say your videos bring me a lot of joy.

Phenomenal analysis as always.

You're a great teacher. Thanks!

Your explanation is excellent as usual. The game you prepare was great. Thank you.

Have to say I'm enjoying the increase in youtube content Jerry. You will always be the OG in my heart!

I definitely appreciate the depth of explanation of everything Jerry, especially why the timing of each move had to be so precise. Thank you !

Great stuff, as always, Jerry

Hey Jerry! I just want you to know that your videos and love for the game inspired me to start playing, and I just hit 1300 today. Thanks for getting me into the game, you’re the best!

Amazing. I love that you've been posting more. Please continue, I love your videos

I think your analysis videos are my favorite content on RU-vid. They're just so purely good. With a cup of coffee in the morning, on a Saturday afternoon, before bed, it doesn't matter. It's always a good time for a chill chess analysis with Jerry.

found this channel after you beat me in a bullet game an hour ago lol

Jerry’s breakdowns are second to none

Amazing video as always Jerry! Your game analysis videos are always so well made and informative. Keep it up!

Hi Jerry, it’s everyone again

Jerry, always enjoy it when you talk about pieces or pawns getting babysitted. I'm going to start including the phrase in my own annotated games!

96% accuracy with one blunder is pretty neat.

Thank you, Jerry. I love it when you have a new video.

Great content again ! This is the line I use in this variation and a line you play often Thank you Jerry !!

Great game, it is amazing that level of accuracy such a long time ago. Amazing player!

Love the analysis, thanks a ton Jerry

Really good; more of these wonderful, clear, explanations, please.

Amazing Video as always. Thank you Jerry.

From this same year Schlechter and Lasker player an interesting game that would be cool to cover. Schlechter showed good understanding of attacking in the center when attacked on the flank, and presumably missed a win in that game. The back and forth seemed pretty awesome, too

Great video as always, thanks Jerry!

Thanks Jerry. I was amazed watching this because just thisafternoon I had an exact game up to move 9 as white. It was only a 5+0, so I lost the game because I spent too much time analyzing the tactics, and ended up attempting a rook lift as white. It was super 2 hours later, to have a master break it all down for me. Thanks Jerry. Have a good day mate.

The geometry of 7:20 really is attractive..

this might have been your best vid ever. in your prime sir. tyvm.

I love the most common uploads! Thanks Jerry!

Pillsbury is such an underrated figure in Chess history

Wow, Jerry, i'm really happy with the recent video uploading frequency. Your way of analysing games with a very positional rationale has helped me grow as a player for many years now. Greetings from Brasil.

Thanks Jerry the classics are classic fora reason. Keep up the good work.

A frustration I have with chess is that it feels as though successful attacks require lots of calculation, whereas putting up at least some defense is usually the first few moves that comes to mind, so often I fall under time pressure when attacking. Some of these combinations shown at the end are pretty lengthy and require precise calculation because of temporary loss of material. Do you ever feel this way when playing attacking chess?

Kool, admirable analysis

Loving all these uploads

Please, please do more videos on Pillsbury and other old school player. This is best. So many other Pillsbury game that needs love. More in depth on his amazing style. Thank you Jerry

Such a nice analysis once again, thanks so much!

I have always wanted to understand the Pillsbury Attack better, and this video is perfect for that!

Very nice explanation. Getting clear ideas of positional chess

Great instructive video - thanks for sharing!

When I started playing chess, a friend of my father's told me about this Harry Nelson Pillsbury and it was so incredible that I couldn't understand it... I knew what I saw was beautiful, but only with time and a lot of chess did I understand this 19th century gentleman

Interesting to contemplate how far Pillsbury would have gone if he hadn't died so young. Perhaps the strongest player to have never become World Champion, along with Paul Keres.

Love you Jerry!

This Pillsbury attack is identical or very similar to what master Jude Acers plays against many black systems against d4. He would play it against my King's Indian and Old Indian defenses. the d4-e3-f4 pawn formation is often referred to as the Stonewall formation. This opening is referred to as the Stonewall Attack, but Pillsbury was one of the biggest exponents of it.

Amazing love the old videos

Great video, I’d seen the game where Tal uses the Pillsbury attack but had never seen the original game. Think I may try to memorise this game as it seems a great stem for so many attacking ideas for d4 players.

Cool covering, Jerry 👍

who knew the lil chef dude was a masterful attacker

Masterpiece

Another great video

I think it can help beginners more understand openings if you explain how this opening ties and other more commonly known opening such as the London or just the Queen's Gambit in general as they tend to transpose and end up in similar positions all the time and I can I can see how having knowledge can really help you as a queens pond opener

Jerry, since you really liked the style of this game, you should tinker around with the Stonewall or the Tromp-Stonewall sometime. I play them a lot as both white and black and I get VERY similar attacks all of the time in blitz and bullet. It's soooo satisfying when you realize the center is sufficiently locked and your opponent is busy on the queenside, but you know there's no way they'll have enough tempi to beat out your kingside stuff. It happens even to higher rated people; I've won against quite a few 2200s with it (and I'm maybe 1800 on a good day.) A pawn storm with the king knight pawn often works wonders as well, sometimes supporting other pieces but in bullet and blitz they'll often make the mistake of attempting to prematurely kick my knight with F3/F6, which leads to a very stylish Greek gift and then pawn-and-queen mating attack (with your knight pawn on the 6th). Or you'll get the opportunity for rook lifts, or sometimes even a double piece sacrifice against the king. And even if your opponent doesn't make tactical mistakes or fall into strategically bad positions Stockfish always says it's fine, sometimes equal or sometimes with black holding a very slight edge, but white having clearer long term plans. And it's always an interesting position, IMO. (...except for the symmetric Stonewall, which is tedium incarnate, but it's rare and often avoidable if you don't like it. There's also a move order I really enjoy that lets me shift gears into a Colle / Semislav if they're doing any sort of Hippo-like setup, which is I find to be an extremely effective low-calculation bullet response to the Hippo, usually involving a queen-bishop battery and a timely pawn to king bishop 3 as a prelude to the eventual assault, but I'm rambled too long as it is.)

that selection of games is georgious

Thank you sir. I gonna try it

Sadly my opponents rarely resign after I move and say its mate in 11 moves

That was amazing!!!

Great!

I guess you could say he really got his Pillsbury attack rolling. 😎

Didn't harry die from syphilis? And he played d4 in the 1800s what a chad

What was more appealing about the g6 vs an h6 pawn cutting off the queen on the h file? I feel like I'm missing something for that move. Plus it attacks white's black bishop

Nice video. Will all due respect, I believe Tartakower is pronounced "TAR-ta-kov-er," with the Euro dubya pronounced as a vee. Thanks for the game!

Nice one

cool game

I just wonder why Ne4 is not played while it had the chance.

7:10 beautiful

yes moar videos. keep going.

Glad to see the doughboy succeed in life

AHHHHH! Jerry posted a video!!!!!!

Wann see that mate in 11 though >D

If anyone could help answer this question at 418 in the video why do you Trade-off your white color Bishop when that 1 is technically stronger as it points right at the king's side I generally trade that night as a London player I would rather keep the bishops or trade-off the weak one rather than the strong 1

Actively liking these videos so more people can get some Jerry goodness

you should do an analysis of the oldest recorded chess game

Hes pretty good at the Pillsbury attack Hmmmm Pillsbury good with Pillsbury Wai-

did he giggle at the end?

500k by mid Jan 2023. Chees YT OG

Jerry, can you be my internet dad?

One correction: 10:45 you said we're still going to win the queen. But it's actually mate next move. The queen is irrelevant in that line.

Man buried pills and buried players

Is this Pilsbury the founder of the company that makes biscuits ?

Georg Marco played poor defense.

Hi Jerry.
