Most players spend their entire lives trying to master the rules of chess. The insane genius Albin Planinc spent his career proving that the rules didn't exist. His play challenged conventional concepts and looked completely insane. There was dynamite hidden in his moves. When he attacked, it was almost impossible to defend. In today’s game, he crushes one of the strongest Dutch players, Jan Donner, in just 20 moves with the Black pieces. Let’s dive in and see what truly insane chess looks like.
