Gyula "Julius" Breyer (30 April 1893 Budapest – 9 November 1921) was a Hungarian chess player and 1912 Hungarian national champion.

In 1912 Breyer won the Hungarian championship in Temesvar. In a 1920 tournament in Berlin he finished first (+6−2=1) ahead of Efim Bogoljubov, Savielly Tartakower, Richard Réti, Géza Maróczy, and Siegbert Tarrasch. Breyer had a plus record against Max Euwe (later world champion).

In 1921 Breyer set a new blindfold chess record by playing 25 games simultaneously. He also edited Szellemi Sport, a magazine devoted to chess puzzles, and composed at least one brilliant retrograde analysis study.

Heart disease cut short Breyer's promising chess career. He died in 1921 at the age of 28 in Bratislava. He was buried in Bratislava and after exhumation in 1987, was reburied in the Kerepesi Cemetery in Budapest.

    You forgot to tell the story behind this move: At the time when this game was played, there was a rule that said that if you had touched a piece that has no legal moves, you must move with your king. So basically what happened is that Breyer saw that Bh4+ messes up his plan, but he didn't want to play Kf1 just like that, because it would seem suspicious and his opponent will most likely figure out the trick behind this mysterious move, so he "accidently" touched his pawn on e5. Of course his opponent demanded him to move with his king and then played a normal move, as he thought he had just earned a free turn, and the rest is history.
  • @ytmndman
    Thanks for taking my suggestion; it's one of my favorite games of all time.
  • @Andrew-wh2pn
    Breyer was ahead of his time, even his haircut would be playable today

    8:26 "it's hard to say if.. ( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙).. IF IT'S EVEN THE GREATEST MOVE..." 🤣
  • @dongravelle6284
    I remember play Esser back in the early 1900's and I don't ever remember him wearing a hoodie like the one you've depicted.
  • It's immense to see how GMs think. When agadmator plays out all these scenarios that could happen if a certain piece is moved, then refreshes the computer and you're taken back to the actual moment in time, and he says something like "this is what they saw", it's like damn.
  • @JoeBob23
    Great video, again, sir! 8:28 is one of the scariest glitches of all time, lol.
  • @NuisanceMan
    Happy 101st anniversary (of this game) to Breyer. Deep move, and plus it's never easy to defeat a Nazgul.
  • @TheSBleeder
    Someone really needs to do a study of the guy in the black hoodie. He's in a lot of good games.
  • 0:37 "At one point they meet." Probably the greatest understatement about a chess game ever made.
  • @Warkive
    "For those of you were able to do it, congratulations, you are an excellent.....uhhhh, rook mover." Lul.
  • @SVP-uy9qb

    "You have to keep the drama going" such a beautiful quote
  • @petergolub4478
    love the way you started pointing out particular situations that often occur in games and giving advices
  • @rnr4you2
    I really like your format for analyzing the games. I have watched many others but yours are interesting, succinct and presented in a very easy friendly manner.
