El sublime Spielmann, siempre al ataque, por Leontxo García | El rincón de los inmortales 482

Considered by many to be the greatest offensive player in history, the Austrian plays an unforgettable finishing masterpiece in this game. It's unlikely that a chess lover won't feel strong emotions when replaying the best games of the Austrian Rudolf Spielmann (1883-1942), who was not without reason nicknamed "the last knight of the King's Gambit," in homage to his indomitable romantic spirit, meaning that creating beauty was almost as important to him as winning. Many have labeled him the greatest attacker of all time. The only sad thing about his biography is that he died sad, poor, and abandoned in Stockholm because—being Jewish—he had to flee the Nazi horror. The game in this video is one that will leave no one indifferent. Spielmann weaves a very harmonious position of his pieces, all arranged for the attack in great coordination. And when he achieves that goal, the harmony transforms into a symphony of material sacrifices to deliver a model and unforgettable mate.
