“It seems to me that this is the most beautiful game of any that I have played.” – Rashid Nezhmetdinov
Don’t miss the #1 best chess game of the 1950s, even better than Bobby Fischer’s “Game of the Century,” here is Polugaevsky vs. Nezhmetdinov, 1958!
Credit to Douglas Griffin’s incredible translations of Nezhmetdinov’s notes. Griffin’s blog is well worth your time and support: https://dgriffinchess.wordpress.com/2020/01/17/polugaevsky-nezhmetdinov-rsfsr-ch-sochi-1958-with-annotations-by-nezhmetdinov/
