Could makers of videos learn to stop using mechanical voices. It's cheap and shoddy and disrespectful of the viewer. The video maker takes a game played by others, a commentary that may or may not be his, and feeds it into a text to voice converted. How cheap. And the video that resukts from it is rubbish.
Exactly. I turned it off right away, and came here to moan about it. Poor taste is creeping into online chess analysis . It’s up to us to hold fast and remember that this has become a business for many people. Where we give our views, our time and our attention makes or breaks a site. This one is broken intrinsically. So say I.
"Shoddy and disrespectful to the viewer?" Really? You're suggesting it's incumbent on those making videos for your pleasure that they adhere to your preferences? Disrespectful indeed.
@jimmalmstrom6593 it has nothing to do with my preferences. The maker of the video is lazy and does not even seem to realize that text to speech has no way of knowing about inflection or where to pause. Once they put it "out there" it is subject to the sanction of criticism. If we can praise good videos, it follows that we can criticise bad ones. And this one is bad.
You take too much for granted, the maker of the video may not have a good speaking voice, stutter or have a heavy accent. If you dislike the maker's content this much there is always the option to switch to another channel.
@@Boudicca-the-musical May I suggest that you don’t get it - it’s not about you. If it was, all videos would be submitted to you for your approval. In addition, you’re finding fault with a ‘product’ that costs you nothing. The word “free” sorta immunizes people that provide stuff to you from criticism.

@@aaronbarlow4376 Two hours 30 minutes for 40 moves - One hour for the next 20 moves - 45 minutes Sudden Death using the Fischer Time Clock is real chess. Speed, blitz etc. is chess junk food for those with short attention spans.
Believe it or not I actually like the AI voice and straightforward commentary. I've gotten tired of Epic chess and Gotham chess with their boring memes and try-too-hard jokes.
@@harrygregg9551 Sure, I've heard of Agadmator, but I got tired of him too. I like Chessbrahs, and also Daniel Naroditsky - these are the ones I watch the most.
Before even watching this video, I need to say that I've never studied moves in particular because creating specific moves seemed useless if the other guy was aware of what you were trying to do! I always played a reactionary game without having a clue as to the outcome and was half-assed at it in my day. I played for attrition, but always paid attention to the risks down the road. I didn't win always, but I was the best player in my unit! It seems to me that standing on the shoulders of giants is not really fairly in a 'sport' like one. I personally think that if I took it seriously enough, I could whip anyone without a lesson! Of course, that's me and I'm mildly drunk! ;-) I can easily tell you this! Fischer would have never rattled me in Iceland! I might have lost, but not because of his stupid shenanigans!
Which pawn, which pawn, and which pawn again? Chess is hard enough without trying to decipher which pieces the commentary is supposedly talking about. Crap! Crap, and utter crap! And I'm talking about this video.
Comrade Tal, plese stop bullying our world champion!
I Missed this match! I know only that Tal won against Kasparow some only days before his Death, Talj was Genius from Riga, the magiciam from Riga
Tal took his smart opponent on a walk into a strange dark forest, soon his opponent was lost.
The raw calculator vs the intuitive magician
Robo voices are quite annoying.
Yeah, I can't watch it. :\ Unfortunate, I dig the content.
Same
not only queen sacrifice but also checkmate with a pawn
This droning 'AI' voice can make even a Tal game boring. Quite an achievement. I guess.
"There are sacrifices, and there are mines!" GM M. Tal.
You're a piece up against Tal means you are finished! BruTAL.
Amazing game by Tal
all the what ifing and lack of flow in what happened ruins the video.
Thanks for the comments. We don't need an A.I. though, it comes across as too cold and robotic.
GO CRAMLING!!
Yup, can't finish this with the robot narration.
Me, neither. When I see a new chess site, I automatically subscribe, but I stopped listening to the video and unsubbed after the 4 minutes of torture.
not just the TTS 'narration' but the ridiculous grammar. Eg. "resulted _to._ " And its the same over and over again.
Agreed this is garbage. Enough down votes maybe will banish it
If you go to the trouble of using TTS for the audio, why not correct the text with an LLM first?
tal was genius, such a blade thinker
"The winner is the one that makes the second to the last mistake."

Tal is truly a legend one of the all time greats
Are you sure this was played in 1978. Was it not in 1980 81, where kasparov won 6 games tal 2 and remaining draws. Some one need to verify this.
its a blitzgame!
This video should be half long
Just increase the playback speed.
The piece set looks fugly
Very playful!!!
I never understand Tal. He is a magician.
Tal, genius!
Who was winning between two ultimate genius?
Could Tal smoke during the game?
@mahendrakonsam4473 to quote the old Tartakower joke: "He looks as if he wants to [smoke] and as Capablanca said, 'the threat is greater than its execution.' "
Smoking is now a thing of the past. It was so common them days, you would be sick if you didn't smoke!! How on earth could they see the board?
Picture of Bobby Fisher practicing in a swimming pool with his sparring partner blowing cigarette smoke in his face comes to mind.
Crappiest commentary ever
Its an AI commentary
Gruesome English - interesting game though
The English resulted 'to' me quitting halfway through.
kasparov siempre tuvo cara de viejo
Talking too much, matey. Just show the game.
Missed 15. Nd5!!
"Resulting to"???
This is a joke, bad comments and no video of the event.
He lost me at "blitz". *Blitz* is not chess.
Of course it is. It's fast time control chess. At least it's not bullet, which is just chaos.

use standard grafic, that can no one read there play chess
Too bad he smoked to much nothing cool whit that .. He could surely have been a more skilled player without the cig ....
You sound stupid
You sound very young and inexperienced. Just about every one smoked at the time.
smoking is not good
but being overweight with diabetes and coronary heart disease
are the real killers

To much talking!
'Too'. And he's describing what was happening for fans who may not be aware of the nuances.
