Dave is such a great participant. Except one thing.
Lmao
Man, the ghost of Jim Varney sure has a lot to say
Sadly, that’s not a joke anyone under 21 years old will get. Jim Varney was the best!
Is that you Vern?
39:12 Ben agrees.
🤣
Godddddaaarn hes annoying
I played Bronstein in a simul (in New Jersey in the early ‘90s, I think? He won of course but I actually had a good position for a while. The computer said I was better before blundering. When I resigned, I got him to autograph my copy of his 1953 book. He actually paused for a moment to look through the book, apparently because he was unfamiliar with that version/translation. I’m pretty sure I have a photo of the two of us somewhere, though I really don’t know where it is. Overall a cool experience.
is this a lecture, or a podcast between Ben and Dave?
Great players of the past are my favorite chess youtube videos!
Seeing this newest batch of reuploads again inspired me to revisit Wikipedia articles on the great mid-century Soviet players. This led me to find out about Vladimir Petrovs, a player I'd never heard of, but he was apparently among the world's top players in the 1930s. Then the Soviets killed him for criticizing their occupation of his country Estonia.
Can you do a video on Vladimir Petrovs? I know enough about chess to have heard of all but a few of all the players you've covered (edit: Lein, Khan, Suttles, Blocker, Showalter are the ones I'd never heard of) and Petrovs seems far more relevant than them.
I'm screaming at home: shhhh. Shhhh. Dave! Shhhhh!
In a previous video, I commented that I wasn’t sure if Dave Vest is annoying or my favorite part of the videos. Now I’m sure that the COMMENTS about Dave Vest are my favorite part of the videos. 🤣
My favorite GM
24:40 it's weird. In the last few years, the a3 Nimzo Indian has become somewhat popular again and has some high profile wins even though it looks like a stupid move
a3 instead of nc3 is also a good anti-nimzo line, I think Kasparov used to play it.
That dude sure loves hearing himself talk

"Alright now, there's two openings I hate, Archer - openings that are intolerant of Other openings, and The Dutch."
Me watching lectures answer Smyslov instantly 😂
I looked at the two classical games between Fischer and Bronstein. Both were draws, but it is obvious they were going for each others throats.
Jan Timman, not Tin Man. He played in the 'Over the Rainbow' tournament!
56:07 I was shouting "Smyslov" at home!! 😁
Now, who was second place in the "Zurich 53" tournament?
Answer: David Bronstein.
22:33 Speaking of Najdorf, here goes another question:
Who wrote another famous - and arguably better - book about the "Zurich 1953" tournament?
Answer: Miguel Najdorf.
You know everything!! 😉👍
I don't wanna be overtly rude but the crowd is starting to sound more like the 1oclock class..
Dave is actually a national master, as I recall.
@@vigilante8374 I should rephrase then, the speaking habit of the 1oclock class.
"You were all thinking Szabo - Reshevsky 1953 right?" 😂😂
noooo ancora il rompicazzo
Haha who is the guy who kept chiming? He was great, can tell he loves chess
Dave Vest, a USCF LM. He was at one point the Georgia state champion. He's also, as you can perhaps tell, a little bit loopy.
@danbrooks5060 I think he's been in other videos... I found him so annoying at first, but by the end of the video, I started to respect how enthusiastic he is about chess
David Bronstein - so close to my name.
Szabo Reshevsky indeed but that was just a (mating) variation
Ben's assessment of Bronstein calming down is maybe a bit harsh. Especially as you get older, tournament stress takes a little longer to come down from.
I was thinking Szabo Rechevsky
Where is the Steinitz lecture?
4:16
Dave is a nice addition
Can you do a video on tempo? Like tempo to does and to don't? You always say a players captures with tempo in your videos. I can't really find anything on tempo when looking for chess videos
Do be up tempo, don’t be down tempo
@@dechain1927not always. There are a few weird endgames where the way to win is to actually purposefully forfeit a tempo so you can gain something else, such as opposition or zugzwang
Tempo literally just means move. So if you do something where you effectively get a free move, that’s an extra tempo. Tempo translates directly to time. For example, there may be a position where you could capture your opponent’s piece, or they can capture yours, and whoever initiates the trade loses a move doing so. Then instead of taking their piece, you may let them capture first while making a free move before the trade, thus gaining a tempo. As you continue to hear this term, understand “gaining tempo” basically means your opponent is having to waste a move, so you essentially get a free move, and then the converse for “losing a tempo”. Once you get this, the usage of this term should make a lot more sense.
Yasser has a very nice video about tempo. Search The Importance of Time explained by GM Yasser Seirawan. God bless.

see you in past
Is that a reupload ? I feel like i've already heard a few jokes
I was joking but i think it s a reupload, i clearly remember him sayin he was the first western reporter to report bronstein death
And i don t think this would fit anywhere else
Yes. They are reuploading a lot of the CCSCATL lectures on this channel now.
85% of the lectures are reuploads and it's been that way for a while. If there's someone in a live audience talking--anyone at all--it's a reupload. Ben is a hermit now, lives in the basement. Karen brings him a bucket of fish heads every other day.
@@vigilante8374 Please add this interesting information to his Wikipedia entry to make it longer.
Pls Dave stop talking
