Rashid Nezhmetdinov

In this entertaining video IM Levy Rozman is analysing the best games of the late IM Rashid Nezhmetdinov (1912-1974), a gifted attacker and tactician from the city of Kazan.

Levy Rozman presented the special collection of the games:

vs Oleg Chernikov, where Nezhmetdinov sacrificed a queen for two minor pieces
vs Mikhail Tal, where Nezhmetdinov crushed his famous opponent and fellow tactician
vs Lev Polugaevsky, which featured one of the most celebrated queen sacrifices
vs Enrico Paoli, another brutal attack against the Sicilian defence in a game which Nezhmetdinov dedicated to his newborn son. This was the only tournament that Nezhmetdinov played outside of Soviet Union.
