Re-Engineering the Chess Classics: The Swedish Musketeer! The Immortal Spielmann-Stoltz S/holm 1930

This video is in the Re-Engineering the Chess Classics series! To celebrate the publication of my new book (written together with my childhood coach Steve Giddins) I am examining a series of classic games - just as we did in the book - using the creative engine analysis techniques I described in "The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement" At the same time, I get to indulge my current obsessions for a couple of classic players ;) This series of videos spotlights the great Swedish player Gosta Stoltz, one of Sweden's "Three Musketeers" (Stahlberg and Lundin being the others) who made such an impact on the world game in the 1930s. This video spotlights a game that could rightly be called Stoltz' Immortal Game, sacrifcing a queen and then a rook to deliver mate against his world class opponent!

I’m grandmaster Matthew Sadler, a 2-times British Champion, and ranked in the world’s top 50 for many years. I’m also a prolific author.
