    In soviet Russia, x takes y is actually a meme, in case you are unfamiliar - usually denoting a situation of absurdity. For example, a man hunts deer, but in soviet Russia, deer hunt you! -> which would be the caption of, for example, a video in which a deer chases after a human. In this context, I guess a pawn was supposed to take a bishop, but in all absurdity, the Bishop captured instead

    • @yaseen157

    "In Soviet Russia, Bishop Takes Pawn" is a parody of the types of jokes Yakov Smirnoff used to make called the Russian Reversal. It's meant to humorously suggest that things are backward in Soviet Russia. So an example could be, "In Soviet Russia, Pokémon catch you." These phrases are usually spoken in a voice like Yakov Smirnoff's and with broken English ("Bishop take Pawn" is more consistent with these types of jokes).

    • @mikhailkorolik7391
      @mikhailkorolik7391 3 года назад +4

      The joke form is often credited incorrectly to the Soviet émigré American comedian Yakov Smirnoff. ( never heard of that Yasha). an early example is from the 1938 Cole Porter musical Leave It to Me! ("In Soviet Russia, messenger tips you."). Bob Hope used the form at the 1958 Academy Awards. In the 1968-1973 television show Laugh-In, a recurring character, "Piotr Rosmenko the Eastern European Man" (played by Arte Johnson), delivered short jokes such as "Here in America, is very good, everyone watch television. In old country, television watch you!" This joke alludes to "telescreens" from George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four which both reproduce images and monitor the citizenry.

    Thanks for curating these brilliant games. It would be extremely instructive if you could also explicitly highlight the following things in your instructions
    1. What was that one wrong move that led to eventual defeat of the player
    2. What could the losing player have done differently to avoid loss
    3. What was the conceptual flaw that led to a losing position
    Since in many games both players are Grandmasters, I think they are well versed with all variations and the theory, yet they make mistakes. Therefore it is important to know what is that these grandmasters missed that resulted in eventual defeat.
    Thanks for your efforts to popularize chess. Looking forward to your future videos

      joystick396 Rd2 and now both the white Queen could take the Bc6 and the Knight fork R&Q by the square e6. Black has to play some very passive move like Bd7, Qd7 or Qb7 after wich the white pieces are dominating the board (so dangerous against anyone and much more against MT).

    "In Soviet Russia" is a reference to the anecdotes of the form "In America Y X, in Soviet Russia X Y". Those were quite popular in 80's. No wonder, those anecdotes - more often than not - were quite auto-ironic, so they could only be told at the time when socio-political milieu started to become somewhat warmer; those anecdotes were, in some sense, a sign of a freer society.
    Example:
    In America you can always find a party, in Soviet Russia the Party can always find you.
    Now, since the structure of "In Soviet Russia" jokes is quite rigid, one can easily expand the whole joke of the game: "In America pawn takes Bishop, in Soviet Russia Bishop takes pawn!", which most likely refers to outlandish and material-ignoring ways of Russian chess players. And looking at the game, this interpretation seems to fit the bill. ;-)

    10:25 yes, the Knight prevents checkmate in g2 but he’d rather like to fork R&Q by e6 (or reach the positional square h5), and the white Queen can’t stil grab the Bc6 since the Rook is under attack. Now it’s white to move and Rd2 activates both threats.

    The meme is based on the observational humor of Jacov Smirrnoff: a Russian comedian mildly popular in the 1980's: he was kind of a hacky comic who always used the same set-ups and catch phrases, "In Soviet Russia,...." is a classic example-he played up his American audience by saying, "I love this country." one of my favorite uses of the bit goes, "Every four years, the people get to decide if their leaders get to stick around...in Soviet Russia, every four years leader decides if the people get to stick around."

      @Noldor_fury 6 лет назад

      Not a very skilled player here but i think:
      After cxd4 Black goes Ng6+
      If Kg7, then moving the knight open a discovery attack and black loses a queen
      Then Kh7, but after Nf8+, it's mate in two whatever black does

    • @zhenduowang3418
      @zhenduowang3418 6 лет назад +2

      noldor's fury A mistake. After Ng6+ Kg7, there would be no discovered check because Qxe1 had been played earlier. The reason was that after cxd4 Qe5+ would force Kh7, then Ne6 would threaten unstoppable mate Qg7#. Hence the bishop on f7 was dangerous enough to be taken first.

      @@zhenduowang3418 i see i was analasing the wrong position :b (after Rxd4 immediatly c×d4)
      Just a question... In your line doesn't Black stop the menacing checkmate after Ne6 simply via Qxf7, guarding g7?

    "in Soviet Russia..." is like a parody of a parody of a parody. In 1960, Daniel Bell wrote "Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's the other way around". This got endlessly quoted and misattributed (I've seen it attributed to JK Galbraith, Milton Friedman, even John Maynard Keynes).
    Then in the 80's, along comes this comedian with the stage name Yakov Smirnoff, who basically riffed on that theme, but changed it to "in America [x => y]. In Soviet Russia, [y => x]". His heyday was the twilight of the cold war, so within five years he himself becomes a parody.
    The use of it for this game is pretty clever - it's a nod to the juggernaut that the Soviet Chess program was, and also to Tal's reputation for sacrificing material. The idea is an American chess player would take a bishop with a pawn, because a bishop is worth more, but Tal is playing on a whole nother level.

  • @terencetagoylo7017
    @terencetagoylo7017 6 лет назад

    Bishop takes pawn is a known chess move from the movie Assassins, it's a sacrifice move for position and ultimately checkmate... good movie and it's also a good move bishop sacrificing for the pawn

    • @Toshinben
      @Toshinben 7 лет назад

      I don't see the mate. What I do see is White can't take the bishop with the hanging rook, so its best position is d2 in case Black plays Rg8.

    @9:24 Black should gave played c5xrf4, then either bf7xre8 sacrificing a piece or we have rook exchange & white will be down a piece either way but black king is in the corner so anything will go for white specially bc it's Tal we're talking about!!!
