I love Ben's mix of edgy humour and grandpa stories about the good ol days.

I remember Father Lombardy as the coach of Fischer in 1972 match. I was sad when I came to know he lived homeless in the last part of his life, until he found some hospitality.

Ah, yes. I remember the days when "adult supervision" meant "be back by dinner and don't get lost or killed."

Lombardy was famous in Montreal in the 1970's because he played in a tournament there and was paired with Grant Spraggett, Kevin's brother, and he managed to pronounce his name as "Sprajay".

sorry if I'm wrong, but was there a great player of the past on Velimirovic? I swear there was a video about some strong crazy grandmaster who always sacked his knight as white in the Sicilian on like move 8. I distinctly remember the position of white having 2 rooks and a bishop against 2 rooks, bishop, knight from a Sicilian and white nearly checkmating black and winning a piece and winning the endgame.

Can you do a great players of the past on Boris Gelfand or the Gelfand vs Anand Match? I don't think has been done before.

According to Garðar Fischerś best friend last years Lombardy was a key person behind Fischerś success. He was his ikon because Lombardy was also a priest then his chess was not no 1. When Fischer was blaiming ALL Americans, and disagreeing you do not judge a whole nations because of few corrupted politicians. Fischer said excuse me i have very good friends in USA. I think Fischer was thinking about his very good friend Lombardy.

As someone who doesn't know GMs names these are great. I've seen this 3 times now, but it's still entertaining.

They are moving the videos from the scholastic center channel to this one. You never do things like that en masse or the videos will just be lost. Better to have a schedule for that and give every video a chance to be highlighted on this channel for visibility. It's the right move. You can always just read the description first and skip if it's an old recording. It's always in the description for those I've seen so far.
