you know what, Guys, I thought I was watching Seirawan's videos to improve my chess level... bullshit : i watch them for the mere pleasure of the suspense, of the story Mr Seirawan tells us, of the voice, of the smile...

Yasser is the best lecturer! Just love his delivery, so relaxed =) And he actually has meaningful dialogue going on with his audience, really goes out of his way to answer all their questions in-depth, then just returns to his lecture plan. What a cool guy! He's my favourite, but Finegold and Akobian are great too.

That over zealous kid in the audience asks too many questions, I know for sure I'd get irritated if the guy was spouting out barely relevant questions while I was trying to give a lecture - especially for KZfaq! Yasser makes the most of a sorry situation by using politeness to mask his questions. I mean, one question is fine. BUT when he asks a question every move and then some - especially as no other audience members are being that annoying - it really gets in the way of the lecture for me. But Yasser did a good job of dealing with it. He certainly has a legendary store of patience!

I might be wrong, but I feel like this game may be Yasser's Immortal - it's soo incredible.

This doesn't technically meet the definition of an "immortal game". Nonetheless, this is probably the best chess lecture in history.

What a wild game! And what a fascinating lecture (as always) by GM Yasser Seirawan! Nice bonus: The anecdote at the beginning about how Seirawan was distracted during the game, and how GM Nunn could not even *comprehend* distraction... John Nunn is a genius by any definition - but Yasser won the game.

Fascinating ! I just finished the game & worked through a few different endgame mating scenarios for the last 10-15 moves, approx., depending on what white chose to continue the game to the end...Seirawan played a beautiful game that day! I really enjoyed it as well as the final question, which he graciously answered with white's inaccutacy, h5, actually allowing black to move the bishop to h7 with tempo, thereby giving black the time needed & altering the outcome !

The lines: [Spoiler] [Spoiler] [Spoiler] . Qxb3+ Ka1 Qc3+ Kb1 (Ka2 Bxc1! Rxc1 (Qxd5 Qb2#) Ra5+ Kb1 Qb4#) Rb5+ (there's a faster mate according to stockfish with Qb4+ but Rb5+ is more simple imo) Ka2 Rb2+! Ka1 (Bxb2 Qxb2#) Rxc2+ Kb1 Qb3+ Ka1 (Bb2 Qxb2#) Qa2#

So, what went wrong with White? All of a sudden a lost position? That's our homework from that lecture. Maybe 18. fxe6 instead of 18. Bc4? Or 24. e6 instead of 24. Rh2? And when could Black have done better?

He would play Na4 followed by the other night to Nc3 with the threat of taking the black c pawn I think this would be the play

@rooneyrockzz123 11 жыл бұрын

Why wasn't 15.Ndc3 discussed?

@daz1317 9 жыл бұрын

what is the idea behind 4. Nc3 when both the B5 and E5 squares are guarded by blacks pawns, and it invites a pin with ... Bb4 after pawn to e6? Also, does White need to castle queen-side when the only feasible attack from black would surely likely come from the Queenside? I guess you hoping for a stronger attack by White BEFORE Black assembles his pieces

@jindrichzapletal5822 9 жыл бұрын

Well, the knight is ready to jump on b5-d6 or sacrifice at d5 (see the game) once the pawn moves from c6. White has problems with his king in this variation no matter where he puts the king

@nathandepater1881 5 жыл бұрын

Why was pawn e6 takes pawn f5 pawn g4 takes pawn f5 bishop takes f5 a bad variaton at basically any point in the game? It seems like that is an easy way to get your bishop back in the game while also winning a pawn

The story about the Caro and the Soviets is true, except it was a different variation than the one Yaz mentions in this video. It was the two knights. As far as I'm aware, Fischer only played the exchange variation once. It was against Petrosian in the Soviets against the world.
