He’s pretty much the only GM with any charm at all. The rest border on autistic. Just being honest here. Magnus is one boring person when he speaks.

Like "never move your pawns"? :D

Like, all of your children have no talent; yes you parents at home. They play some memorized opening they coach taught them, lose, there coach said they played it wrong; try again and loose again then they give up on Chess and play hockey. Then lose in hockey also!

Also: never play f6!

It's funny how many views he gets relative to other speakers. Not downplaying others' lectures, its just that Ben really brings another element that is hard to replicate. He is just naturally charismatic and witty.

+ATL yep same

Really? The constantly yammering and superficial analysis are unwatchable. Finegold actually made a Karpov game too painful to watch. No offense, but are you a teenager?

Oh yes, Karpov was one of the very greatest and if his first world title match v Kasparov in 84 hadn't been so long he might well be rated the greatest player ever. It took Kasparov 32 games to win a game in that match; his stamina and grit saved him, but he would have lost 4-0 after 12 games, also after 24 games, or 5-0 after 30 games. Karpov's quality took him to another level

***** Ask Fischer fans about Karpov. They think that Karpov is bad.

***** It's not an odd generalization, it's just my experience with people in the chess community.

and nothing for nothing if you think about it yeah kasparov beat karpov 2xs technically maybe 3 ALL the game points came down to like 1 point of half point one time. no one blew anyone out the water like fischer did to spassky

Marko Kostic No, Karpov is inarguably one of the greatest chess players of all time. As far as I'm concerned he beat Kasparov in their 1984/1985 world championship match. Kasparov and Karpov were basically equal in strength. The thing with Fischer is he dominated like no other had before or since, a young Karpov would be no match for Fischer (assuming he kept playing), 1975, 1978 (my prediction is 12.5-6.5) WC matched would end with comfortable wins for Bobby. Karpov would have become a greater player than he did in our timelines (but, again, so would Fischer) by 81 it might be a close victory for Fischer (12.5-10.5), but by 84, age might get the better of him and its possible Karpov wins (12.5-11.5). If Fischer retires after the 85 match, and Kasparov never plays him, I'm confident Karpov would been the superior player to Kasparov throughout their careers, the rivalry with Fischer would be invaluable and he'd have learned so much about chess. As the matches against Fischer would essentially be chess lessons. Thinking about it makes me quite sad, the best of Fischer, is never to be seen he never reached his potential, and Karpov remained forever unable to play Bobby.

They're not miked, so you wouldn't hear it.

@@Hoobyj for my money he looks more like Ethan Suplee

John Brown Kasparov has an all time +2 score against Karpov , something like that

Karpov was up 5-0 with a bunch of draws against Kasparov in their first match. That would normally be a slam-dunk win. Kasparov was shocked at how good Karpov was, since he had buzzed through all the challengers.

Mato Jelic is great too! I enjoy quite a few of them tbh. Seirawans are really deep. Schrantz are similar to Finegold. Kingscrushers are extremely in depth and Mato always chooses phenomenal games and keeps them digestible.

+arsenalfanrichi id recommend you john bartholomew's climbing the rating ladder/instructional videos then. they are straightforward and really instructive chess notions although no flashy games from superGM are covered

its ok hes probably making fun of me too i just am not aware of it yet

Thanks for the comment I have just got the joke now

The answer is fries

Haha same here!

it's not ''petroff'' but ''petrov''

I've seen both spellings. Petroff was the English spelling used in Kasparov's books (which may have been his editors' choices). If you want to be technical, the rest of the world calls it Russian Game and his name was actually Петро́в. But go ahead and nitpick if you're up to it.

XD

Actually, "Petroff" is the German spelling. Petrov's studies about this defense, which was thought to be incorrect until he examined it, were first translated to German and thus the Petroff spelling. Anyway as you said, in many countries it is known as the Russian game; not everywhere though, as in Spain (my country, but many others as well) it's most commonly referred to as the Petrov, with a "v", since no one uses anymore the German original spelling for the name of the player (although it is true that it's still used to name the opening). Not even Germans, who now transcript it as Petrow (but call it Russian game). Just a bit of trivia. Anyway you're right, I'm not trying to argue, just to contribute!

red nac No, go ahead. That was fascinating

You are missing the point. The Breyer opening as the Tchigorin aim less as to attack the b3 bishop than to consolidate the center with c5 or Nd7. If you want to kill the bishop go for the Taimanov variation ( 4. Ba4 b5 5.Bb3 Na5 6....Nxb3)

Oh, sorry to hear that :(

Damn i would have wanted to hear him in person.

He even predicted the draw ending "They are the same person, right?" hahahaha

I think you are using low depth. Complex positions typicallh require quite a bit of time for accurate results. Sacrifices and such sometimes need forcing to get an engine to evaluate them.

Tread lightly
