Mikhail Botvinnik vs Mikhail Tal, Tal - Botvinnik World Championship Match (1960): E69 King's Indian, fianchetto, classical main line
Yasser is the best: knowledgeable, charming, eloquent, enthusiastic... please create 100s of videos for all the generations to come.
+BlackBeltMonkeySong He's nearly there, if you download all his clips (use JDownloader on the yt playlist) it's 94 and counting! Unfortunately, he's not on screen for 20% of the time but demonstrating something to the left, so calculating this as a penalty it's 74 :-p
Indeed. But a hundred videos is not even near hundreds ;)
He sounds like he's been smoking opium...
@@robink.9966 no he sounds like a roman general ur opinion is cringe
@@abhi_shek1196 He's a gay opium addict. Go take a look at his wiki page
Normal GM: "what strategy sould i play?"
Tal: "what piece should i sacrifice this time?
I wonder if there is somebody in Russia who talks about Mikhail Jackson' and Mikhail Jordan.
In cinema they talk about Mikhail Caine !
👍😉👌🏼
Lmao!
This is a fantastic video, despite Yasser annoying habit of Americanizing their first names. The only real problem I had was that his analysis of Tahl’s wonderful F3 was a bit hurried or confusing.
I don't know about Russia, but in Poland it used to be a thing (before the globalization era), and so, for example, George Washington is commonly referred to as Jerzy (Polish equivalent of "George") Waszyngton (polonized spelling), Richard Wagner is Ryszard, Charles Darwin is Karol etc. This custom went out of use somewhere between the 19th and the 20th century, but the names of such historical figures have retained that form to this day.
@@vibovitold "Went out of use somewhere between 19th and 20th century" really? How old were you back then?
James Seirawan's lecture on Michael Botvinnik and Michael Tal
+zxcsafasfcasczxc Mikhail, not Michael.
Funniest fucking comment i've ever read.
Please Yasser...
Miraïl not Maïkel.
Michael tal Vs Michael Botvinnik the match which happened in apple where Chris Jericho won MIBT
Yasser knew Tal personally. If Tal himself didn't care enough to impose the Russian (or Latvian "Mihails") pronunciation on him, why should you?
watching this after 7 years, Yasser is a true storyteller, .. and still a nice verrassing :-)
Yasser, may I interest you in a new bookshelf?
Lol! Very good.
i still return to this video after few months and everytime i learn something new
Years later and I still come back to this video. Gotta love Yasser!
Me too
I agree. I think in years to come, these lectures by Yasser will be seen as amongst the best ever given on chess. I am sure that they appeal to those just starting out as well as those at a very high level of chess knowledge. He is an absolute natural and we're lucky that they are available for free online. (If there's any way that the slightly irritating chess prompt can be removed for future lectures, that would be great).
Chess prompt?
I think you might be a prophet
His lectures are A1 grade true you can gain a lot from them☮️
Yasser is awesome
I love Yasser Seirawan's lectures! What an asset to the St. Louis Chess Club and to the United States list of greatest chess players. He seems like such a gentleman and avid storyteller. I love getting all the information he shares about chess culture around the world--much of which has passed and we can now only get through stories.
I miss Yasser's books. I loved reading them when I was a teenager; his writing, concise analysis and knowledge were a joy to read through. His Tactics and Brilliancy books were extremely helpful as I started to play.
"This match played in Moscow in the spring of 1960 is forever engraved in my memory. Hundreds of chess fans who had failed to buy an entrance ticket stayed outside the Pushkin Theater watching on a big demonstration board the games of the match. I will never forget the famous 6th game in which Tal right after the opening moves sacrificed a knight. It was a challenge to Botvinnik, to all his followers who were trying to put the game into the Procrustean Bed of cold logic and algorithms. As if nothing had happened, Tal was pacing to and fro on the stage, and his famous opponent , who had scored victories over such legends as Lasker, Capablanca and Alekhine, confronted with a surprise sacrifice was taking all possible pains to refute Tal's daring decision. All in vain! Botvinnik had already few minutes left on his clock when Stahlberg and Golombek, the arbiters of the match, transferred the game backstage. The spectators were so excited that the atmosphere in the playing hall was more reminiscent of a football match! Tal won this game, and in spite of Botvinnik's stubborn resistance, he won the whole match."
*Lev Khariton*
Tal and Fisher had a great friendship. They both spent more time playing with their opponent's mind than with the pieces on the board.
Yasser Seirawan not only produces great lessons with his good smile and style but also shares with us a wonderful memory about that old beautiful time, where most of us are eager to know about it. Thank you Yasser ))
yasser is excellent storyteller! thanks for great video.
38 mins of yasser seirawan? yes please
I love GM Yasser Seirawan's teaching method. He does hes best in trying to be descriptive and, at the same time, provide the context and the atmosphere surrounding the matches he covers. Last, but not the least, he has a very good sense of humor. :)
Thank you for a great lecture on a classic game!
What a lecture of this amazing game. Thank You very much Yasser and Saint Loius Chess Club.
That book sounds like a great book. I've always wanted to find a book where a great player analyzes his loosing games.
Really like your lectures, Yasser. You and Finegold are the best! I am very grateful for these videos. Thank you to all involved.
"Now I was ready to understand more" ... very powerful
Great stuff, thanks Yasser for this awesome lecture.
I haven't been watching the chessclub (or youtube), as religiously as in the past, but to come back at the end of a great night and see Yasser back with a classic, story tale lecture is truly a treat. Thank you chessclub for all you do.
Fantastic game and fantastic lecture of the amazing Yass! Contratulations :)
Nice lecture. Thank you Yasser.
Fantastic! Thank you.
What a candid and parsimonious teacher!
Awesome analisys awesome narration. Awesome history lesson.Yasser is the best we have.
Thanks for the content!
Whenever I hear Grandmaster Yasser he gives so sweet and Grandfatherly Vibes while teaching Chess ♟️
Yasser, buddy, I love ya man, but there isn't one Michael in Russia let alone two.
Thank you, CCSCSL, for Yasser's lectures. He is truly the greatest lecturer of this channel and of all time. Glad he is back.
i dont know how to discribe how much i thank you Yassir. thank you. you help me to love chess more.
Yasser 🌈 u make my day ✨
Amazing game; clear analysis by Yasser. Bravo
Great video !! Good game too !
Excellent game! Tal is such a genius!!
So how many times did you get the player's names mixed up?
Well analyzes .. Greeting from Bangladesh
Superb lecture
Seirawan is the chill ass uncle of the chess world 😊
i hope i meet yasser one day, such a charming individual!
thank u Yasser Seirawan , really i like you videos and your way of explainning .
Tal was a genius, so is Yasser. Thank you sir.
Beautful game. One of the things I have to remember is when an opponent sacs a major piece I can do the same for position later on. I don't think of it many times until going over the game later.
More Yasser please.
Excellent, greetings from Serbia.
finally gm yasser is back
Es un excelente catedrático, tiene un talento enorme es muy carismático gran sentido del humor y parece buen tipo....
Marvelous lecturer.
What a game!
awesome. enjoyed this so much.
You are the best
Yasser, the Mr. Rogers of chess. Enjoyed.
Michael Tal !!! oh please hahaha
good job, Yasser Seirawan.
I love his teaching style but I wish he would use the mouse to point out his ideas on the computer screen... us online watchers cannot follow the pointing on the projection directed at the live audience. Thx for the content!
My same thoughts.
what a game...a masterpiece of tactics
its annoying that you put another board over the original one so we cant see what he s pointing to... its unwatchable for me...is there a link to the original video?
He is an amazing person,chess player and storyteller
Liked the 'verrassing' part around 09:38 :-)
Its about time you guys upload a watchable Lecture.
+Jesus Rios Pretty rude thing to say considering these videos are free to watch and the commentators are doing this as a service. What do you contribute to the chess community?
Jason Rawls ouch thats hurts. ..
+Hob Goblin His reponse wasn't even hurtful at all what are you saying "ouch that hurts" for. He's just saying he loves shity chess videos and used a crappy insult. That's it.
Ohhh😑 but he got a point for chess mortal players
I'm a fide 1800 player. ..by the time I was fide 1000 this video would be helpful for lots of novices players
This man is teacher by nature
No Homo... I love Mr. Seirawn!!!! His humor and method of teaching is fantastic. I am sure that he could make any lecture interesting. Thanks
Yasser speaks normally when speed is 1.5x
Seirwan is a great teacher, but he keeps calling the sides by the wrong names, and it's pronounced "Mikhail", not " Michael".
usually, people call him Mikhail, but some people like to say Michael because its easier to say apparently
Well I've tried; ...and no that can't be it :)
Yeah well it isn't the first nor last time a name will be anglicized.
If Yasser hadn't personally known both "Michaels," then I'd be more inclined to give him grief about it, but if anyone can get away with the anglicism, it's Yasser. A free lecture from someone who shared drinks with both men is well worth a little grating of the nerves.
If you'd like to learn more, I just finished reading Yasser's _Chess_ _Duels_, where he talks about both men. Highly recommended, both for the biography and for the chess.
Who cares if he calls them both Michael. But it's really annoying when he keeps saying Tal instead of Botvinnik and Botvinnik instead of Tal.
There is "Michael" Botvinnik, "Michael" Tal.... or as I like to call them the Two Mikes....
I know this is a very late comment, but is there anyone who knows which books Yasser refers to in the beginning when he says "his top reading list"?
He just means he has a list of his favorite books
At 32:46, is there a possibilty black can play Be5 to block the path of the rook, to save the pawn?
Remi M then Bf3 and may be even Rxe5 in between. in any case white will be up material, except the on played
what is the name of the book ?
Yasser speaks very well.
The best Game CHESS, MR TAL. !! super Heavy Class Genius.
Whoa his voice
Mr. Seirawan, please do us a big favor and take a day off to practice demonstrating the game on the computer screen only. You already mentioned that you can do colors, and you have figured out arrows, so you should be all set!
Like Mr. King, you're one of the very best chess commentators, and missing lots of explanations when you are off screen is such a pity. Maybe try to glue down your shoes in front of the laptop next time if you have trouble not walking about :-)
Remember that for every one person in your live audience, there are 200-500 people watching online over time...
Tal the genius! Yasser is the best!
Yaz and finegold are the best. They have fun doing it.
I need the book list...
No ! Check "Tal Botvinnik 1960" by Mikhail Tal
Michael Botvinnik ?!!! hahaha Mikhail !
does anyone know the book that Yasser talk about?
*Tal-Botvinnik 1960* by Mikhail Tal.
Todays Mikhail Tal is GM Timur Gareyev.. look at his games, even crazier than Tal!
Chess principals book someone stole Tals when he was young. Tal, "Who needs that book anyways."
What's with the "Michael" thing?
Yasser's parents must be Bob Ross and the Cheshire cat. Anyone else seeing it?
very good lecture but please, mikhail not michael.
What if you had adjournments still today? I mean, players would have to stay in the area where it owuld be certain nobody will bring them the engine analisis and stuff? WOuld that be just too hard to arrange :D? Would be fun IMO XD. I mean, in world championship matches, aint nobody have time for that normally but in a WC match.... restoring taht could somehow be cool, if it was possible to make sure they cant somehow cheat with an aengine. :D
Tal: Nf4
Crowd: "Blyat!"
Michael!!!! Michael!!!!!
Hi (sorry for bad english)
someone know "how deep" YAsser Seirawan fell with his Fide rating? IMPORTANT: He's amazing, my favourite commentator AND lecturer! He's a genius. He's an idol of mine.
It's just he said "I was...top 10 world chess players..." and I looked it up and he's nowhere near that, not even the top 100 today.. is it just that long ago that he was Top 10 or did I missunderstand something?
- Ok I looked it up he peaked at 2658 in his days. But he's around Gelfands age who is still top 20. and more importantly: if he was top 10 then he must have been with a rating relatively far away from 2700 even. Did the Elo go up that high the last 2 decades that 2660 was top 10 whereas now it's not even top 100 ?? Seems odd, someone know? Is it calculated differently now?
Again, I love Yasser, he just made me notice this.
You may be interested in rating inflation subject.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system#Ratings_inflation_and_deflation
Never heard Tal referred to as "Mike."
Yasser is the Bob Ross of chess
whats the name of the book?
+sijaan hallak Tal-Botvinnik, 1960 by Mikhail Tal
+Foo Bar Thanks

Seirawan says "verrassing" in Dutch. *is thus suitably surprised*
Yasser is a gift for all of us.
At 34:27 why not Rxe2 with threat of Bd4+ winning rook, if white takes bishop Rxa2 wins as well
Is that Arjun at 37:57?!
+undertaker66687 No.
At 35:43, if BxN, with white bishop pinned, would be great for Tal. If not, someone tells me why.
It would have been... unfortunately, it was Botvinnik's turn to move ;)
@@styx8536:16 Why didn't Tal play Bxe2? His move.
