Prophetic Visionary? 1834 World Chess Championship [Match 5, Game 2]
Why this colors? Iam perty sure the caliph chose to play Black because it was his house colors
the bishop piece is still called elephant in Arabic till this moment.
Same in Turkish, we call it Fil.
I am from Egypt and i watched this match on arabic chess channel with the same comments on every single move like your comments but the funny thing is that he got thousands of veiws more than you ..i think this is not fair😢😅
Terribly sad for me, but congratulations to him!
Why were they making so many stupid moves? Why were they so bad at chess? Nah seriously I'm curious. - from Iraq, the place where this game probably happened
Good questions! It's a mystery.
There were not making silly moves In fact Al suli moves are very accurate and good in relative to this chess type You might see the, silly because you are forgetting the fact that rules were different. It is worth noting that Arabs and mulsims in geenral were very strong players of chess and the first to develop rules of endgames middlegame , openings , this open in this video was called Torrent oppening . Europeans learned these things from spainsh monks then spread and changed the rules because they had grudges toward anything islamic which was common phenomena even in science . So chill out and do not flag yourself this is disgraceful.
shatrang means chess in arabic and is still named shatrang today .. so its not a variant but this is an old version of shatrang compared to modern shatrang.
I cannot deny this truth!
In Arabic the Chess is called tell now Shatrang , and the bishop is called Elfeel ( elefant ), Queen called Wazeer ( vezir witch is minister) . And the most interesting for me in this video was the bird figure witch called Aanka , Aanka in arabic is a bread of eagles 🦅 actually
Thanks for your comment! The Aanka is probably either my favourite or second favourite, depending on how I'm feeling about the Unicornio.
@ChessMess thanks for the effort, best wishes
Oh Man!! That Prince Philip humour in the intro 😢. You need to go the USA and say that 😉
Just found this, fantastic work man! Adds a lot to the original video.
Thanks!
Can you cover some Great Chess games like Tamerlane Chess.
Hello, I was thinking of perhaps doing individual videos focusing on different variants. Still thinking it through though. :)
this is a public service - thank you
no worries!
Did you stop posting more videos? So sad :(
Hopefully not forever, cheer up! :)
From what I’ve heard of, in pretty much every languages they still use the word for elephant to refers to the bishop. English is the only language that calls it bishop
No King, No Queen, No towers 😂😂
Talking bollocks
First!
Welcome!
I know I am two years to late for this video but in turkey we still call the bishop "fil", which is an arabic word for elephant but we also use it in our vocabulary. We also call the nowadays queen "vezir" which is the minister of the sultan (in definition) and we call the knight "at" which just means horse.
Better late than never, thanks for your comment!
😮i heard that Averbahk solution was not right because they found out (using super computers) that black can somehow gets the matching distance again (the super computers gave the right solution aswell) Either way crazy puzzle 😅
Wow, super interesting, I will try to find out about that.
Imagine chess game between Magnus and Hikaru, where Magnus gets drunk and pretends to be a walrus or a musketeer.
Haha, I can actually easily imagine this.
Guy Fawkes is bloody useless man. I can't stop laughing. Funniest thing I've seen in years.
Thanks, I think he had some good ideas, but his implementation was wanting.
@@ChessMess Such as his failed explosive plan?
Can neither confirm nor deny, but I appreciate that you commented on the 5th of November!
@@ChessMess Pure coincidence tbh. I was more looking at the chess side (was curious the best way to cheaply win and found this video independently through search), but I am psychic like that and yeah... come to think about it, it's freaky I stumbled upon this video around the exact date of 5th November... MIND BLOWN (but not really cause it happens to me all the time). But I'm glad you got to witness this synchronicity, meaning something changed within my future timeline... or maybe I was Guy Fawkes in a previous life? Didn't even know you guys celebrated a day after him until looking him up after initially watching this video. I find that weird since he represents Anonymous and anti-establishment, but to me he seems like a bit of a failure and got ratted out, then brutally tortured and executed, kinda feel sorry for the guy, and personally don't see so much reason for his idolization. I would've preferred he succeeded in his plans and blew those aristocrats, the king/queen, everybody to hell. His chess openings speak to the fact he was against the grain. I too have gotten mated a couple of times like that using the Barnes. Perhaps why I find this video so amusing. I can imagine it happening at the time, with the whole crowd erupting in laughter and mockery. I'm sure he was popular with his comrades.
Awesome!
Franco is a great man

2:34 Wazeer is just an other word for Queen. We do not consider Wazeer وزير as any piece other than the queen. So Wazeer may be translated in English as Minister the Queen is called as Wazeer in Arabic , Persian , Sindhi. Pushtu and Urdu. Please clarify these things in an other video.
2:54 Please note Shataranj is an other word for chess, the same error is repeated.
Centaur is قنطور in Arabic, Sindhi, Persian Pushtu etc. 7:52
1:47 Shatranj is an alternative term for Chess in Arabic, Sindhi , Persian and in Urdu. Old laws or Mughal Chess does not mean that Shatranj شطرنج is a variant of Chess , but just an Alternative word for chess , in the said above languages. So Shataranj is an other word for Chess. If some one disagree he may see Eng,ish Arabic , English Persian etc. dictionaries.

0:39 It may be noted that the Word Feel meaning Elephant is used exactly for Bishop and not of the a said Elephant in Indian Chess ( Mughal Chess).
It is Unqa عنقا A legendary bird , believed as a bird which if sits on the head of any person makes him a king. Often seen in folk tales.
This was very well done, kudos
Thanks, mate!
Geeze what the hell man.
Your humor is crazy
Ooooooooh, I thought amazon was a male, it's actually a female!
I was thinking: MAybe someone actually did an analasys on this game, kinda like Lev Rozman or smth. And BAM, even with side commentary, beautifull madlad. even as a 1000elo rapid bongo, I cringed at multiple points, good calm entertainment.
Thanks, mate!
We still call bishops elephant( fil ) in Turkey
lol start off the channel insulting YTs largest audience and making an inappropriate joke. good sub growth strategy there - I think I'll pass on any chess strategy you might have.
Quite right, having watched the recent US presidential debate, I can categorically state that the USA is a very serious country. Good will and prayers to all my American friends, in all sincerety.
Honourable Sir/Madam, I visited your RUclips channel, and I find your content very good. Your video's Overview, Title, Description, Social, Checklist, and SEO options are not correct, so your videos are not ranking well. If these issues can be optimised, hopefully, the videos will rank better. If you want, I can help you. Thank You.
I read somewhere that you use KDEnlive, is this still true?
This is incredibly well done for such a niche topic. I appreciate the effort..
Thanks mate!
First one here lol
I wonder if this was the first piece capable of checkmating alone.
That lady would have a big ELO score nowadays.
Wait, what program lets you play Grande Acedrex? BTW, it's pronounced "A(rcher) + CE(ntral) + DREX".
Thank you for the pronounciation advice, I had a suspicion I was doing it wrong! The program I used for everything except the Amazon was "xboard", running on Linux.
Hah, Bishops to this day are called 'elephants' (or officers) in Russian
Very interesting fact, I had not heard of "officers" before.
@@ChessMess when i looked it up, it's more common in Bulgarian But it reached Russian too
Bro got a little quirky with this title 💀💀
The elephant can jump pass another peice?
Yes, they are a bit like horses, but diagonal.
joke goes wild 1:42 promoting 6 pawns to elephants left the chat (2:53 never mind) 5:17 it's worth about as much as a king, expect it's not royal. 5:34 thanks for the suggestion! Very Nice, but I think some aren't forgotten :)
Chess is something i've always been interested by but never bothered enough to get good at haha, these videos are good for me Btw did you know that you're apparently a 5/5 according to people on Favoree, good job that's not an easy feat
Hello, thanks for the positive comment! I think I know the two people who rated me on Favoree, haha.
I played a game that lasted 0.7 seconds. The record still stands.
Very impressing mating speed that the rest of us can only aspire to.
