Thank you for your kind words.

Marshall and the gold coin game?

@@EdMcF1 That one is up there, fantastic, 100%, but Rashid Nezhmetdinov vs Oleg Chernikov queen sac on a 14th move without any visible compensation, come on

I'd say Smyslov vs Liberzon 1968 is the greatest of them all.

@@andro99991 It is beautiful sac. Its a tactically rich pos, deep in the middle game but Nezhmetdinov did it on 14th move in an opening phase and he didnt play against my uncle, he played Oleg Chernikov

My pleasure!

Thanks!

My pleasure.

Thanks a lot for your recommendation. I just played through the game between Sultan Khan and Nimzowitsch and really liked it, so I'll definitely make a video on this game.

@@chesswisdom awesome

Couldn't you see the white Queen chilling in front of a black pawn for multiples turns ??

@@xmedssh7927 Where is the sacifice?(c). Although many people believe that Queen's gambit declined is a gambit.

@@williamblake7386 this is not religion. i dont believe queen g. d. is whatever; is a name for a possible answer in the opening to queen gambit; to differentiate from the accepted choice. about the word,gambit. that's just the name use whenever a player makes a sacrifice in the opening; usually to gain tempo; most of the time a pawn, but some times a minor piece. so gambit is a form of a sacrifice. you use the word gambit wether the sacifice is accepted or not. it's okay to say sacrifice, even if the sacrifice is not accepted. some prefer to be specific namig such as pseudo-sacrifice. some G.M's prefer use the word sacrifice just for the long-term strategic basis type of sacrifice. spielmann (rudolf) is the author of a magnificent chess book; where he classify all the different types of sacrifices. and; i agree with alex konidakis, this is one of the best youtube chess channels!

@@ayaxorozco449 Sacrifice is either happened or not, it's THAT simple. "gambit declined"=gambit did not happen. sacrifice declined=sacrifice did not happen. There was no sacrifice in this game, just an attempt, which was declined. So "the greatest sacrifice" is a lie. No, it's not ok to say just "sacrifice" or "gambit" when they were declined. You NEED to add the word declined to describe the situation. You(and others) turned the question about meaning of words into religion, where people must believe that sacrifice happened even it does not.
