A tribute to an antisemite, wow....

Lasker did not die while he was the world champion. Alekhine is the only world champion who died while the champion.

A small correction to the opening talk by the bearded fellow: Spassky became world chess champion in 1969, not in 1972. In 1972, famously, Robert J. Fischer was the winner. I thought it was generally considered that David Bronstein was the strongest player ever to not become w.c.c. // I seem to recall he had tied Botvinnik 12-12 in one of their matches for the title. Botvinnik got to retain the title, a privilege that years later was not given to Fischer (but then later yet, perversely, WAS given to G. Kasparov when he was champ, at least once retaining the title after being battled by Karpov to 12-12).

You do not play to be up a bishop. You play to mate. At 24:20, if Qd1, Nf2+ Kg1, Nh3+ Kh1, Bxf3#

Title makes it sound like Korchnoi died this week but he died years ago. Why publish this now?

What a joy these chess "chats" are! Great stuff. I am going to watch all of them.

Castles....checkmate. Brilliant.

👍

Hikaru might never become the world champion, but he probably changed the course of chess history and popularity almost by himself through his streaming/content delivery style. Considering his performances at the candidates tournaments, neither is he a slouch by any means when it comes to classical games. Truly a great player of our time.

Very instructive and enertaining at the same time.

keep em comin dave

Thanks for posting these. I remember Ernest as my "rival", though I'm sure he never saw it that way. Even though my rating kept going up, I could never beat him. I think I did draw him once, but never beat him

Thank you for posting these!

How many of the current chess grandmasters were heavily influenced by their parents to play chess? It seems like it's pretty much all of them that were encouraged to play chess by their parents at a very young age. The young children saw the admiration from their parents when they did well and the parents then ferried them across the country from tournament to tournament. Pretty soon Chess becomes what the child is good at it which is their reasoning to play it the rest of there adult life. Like in reality Chess is a super boring game. It's hard for me to imagine a child born in the last 20/30 years that would prefer to play chess over video games.

Yahhhhhhh

RIP Marty

Always enjoy your videos and analysis

Something isn't right...

You are correct! The current intro is much better 👍🏻

Is it me or is the chess board in the intro set up wrong? 😅 doesn’t the white square have to be in the bottom right to both players?

Thank you so much for uploading such great resources!!! I have wanted access to this type of chess media for a while and am so happy you are uploading so much of it! From one chess fan to another thank you!
