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
It is called "Russian Reversal" and it is usually used to make fun of the USSR's oppressiveness. Classic example, "In America, you can always find party. In Russia, Party can always find you." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reversal
Mihai Carstea Crotian,Serbian can pretty much pronounce any Latin or Slavic name, English is where we kind of have accent, hahahaha, well me I grew up speaking English!
"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).
Just to add, Hungry was under the Soviet Union and to many people in the west at the time any county in the Soviet Union was "Russia" this is especially true for a joke.
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.
been here for a while , love your content , you made my morning better with this game , loved it , as a Romanian guy all I can say is I m proud that one of our guys was a worthy opponent for Tal
That's was another example of what Nez used to say about Tal, "He just puts his pieces in front of the enemy King, and then sacrifices one of them..." followed by massacring the entire cavalry...;-)

I felt like this video went into more depth with potential positions and variations on possible scenarios than you normally do. Thanks for that. For those of us not studied in chess it really helps
"In Soviet Russia ..." is a classic internet joke which highlights the difference in culture between the west and soviet / russia (eastern europe also i guess) Typically it includes highly unexpected scenarios. Go search for it man, you will find a tank randomly crossing the highway as if everything was normal. It´s gold. I find it strange you havent heard of this, it´s a very common joke Good game, but I believe you are mistaken at 10:24 saying its check mate, but the Knight can capture Queen on G2
Yup, it's called the Russian Reversal. One of my favourites is, In Soviet Russia, president assasinates you! Always said in a thick stereotypical 'Russian' accent. They're pretty droll!
It's been a while, I stopped playing chess to concentrate on my work... But I'm addicted to your voice so much that now I've to listen to your voice before I get a good night sleep😅😂
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
I was just listening to the game and am like, "WTF is that noise! Where's that coming from!?" Took headphones off, nothing. Then I look at the video and the dogs going MENTAL! Haha, love dogs!
"In soviet russia... {insert something opposite}" it's a meme lol. i love how serious you are about it because you're not aware that it's a light-hearted thing =]
I noticed no immediate mate by black, too. Still, safety first, and it also freed up the knight and made the rook a more difficult target. What do you think was the turning point?
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. ;-)
Hey the reason it's called this is because "In Soviet Russia, [insert strangely inversed power dynamic here]" is a kind of comedic set up making fun of the overboard governmental control and relationship with it's citizens during that time if global history. Love your vids man, thanks for the awesome content! Andrew from Texas- goin to lurk moar-
nlingrel that's what I said.... I don't understand what you've done here... He asked why it was called that in the video and to put it below if you knew. Were you attempting to be helpful? Sorry I'm just trying to understand your reply...
You had the only comment I saw about it, I knew there was a name for the kind of joke but didn't remember so I looked it up(Russian Reversal). Just put it there to add on to what you said.
The joke that gives the game its title got popular because of the cartoon Family Guy in the late 90s - the character Peter gets a car from the mafia and the radio inside says, "In Soviet Russia, car drives you!" And "Turn left at fork in road... In Soviet Russia, road forks you!"
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.
Hi agadmator! I was rewatching this beautiful tal game love your content. Would like to point out a small mistake there is no mate threat at 10:24 with Bc6 as the f4 knight is guarding the g2 pawn
The "In soviet russia.." jokes were created by a standup comedian from the 80s, nowadays they're a meme. They make fun of how things are different or the opposite of how we know them here in the West. (Example: In soviet russia, pokemon catches you.)
I really like your channel and I watch all your videos. Can you do a favour, when you analyse a game, when you talk about speculative moves can you please put a green border around the board so that for us it's much easy to distinguish between the actual moves played and the speculation moves? Thanks.

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."
#suggestion when you make a poll, don’t allow people to change their option after seeing the current results. Research has shown that people will change their choice to the most popular one therefore skewing the results
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
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.
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
@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!!!
5:32 here Ghitescu had the chance to to destroy Tal's center by a similar sacrifice: K:e5 capturing the second pawn while Tal's d4 pawn is still hanging...
"In Soviet Russia, the car is you!", its the first part of a phrase used to comedic effect, usually with the implication that in the USSR things are primitive. :)
at 7:51 would knight to f6 not be better as it checks the king and wins the queen? in the game they played knight f4 but that doesnt seem as strong to me of a move.
in soviet russia, the queen promotes to a pawn
good one...
in Soviet Russia, pawn sacrifices you!

You are losing the game because black will pick up the horse
i think it means in contrast to forking the queen and rook with the knight, which this move also frees up the knight. Possibly not though

10:35 definitely not a mate position with that knight on f4
I was wondering that as well. How was that a checkmate situation?
10:25 How is it checkmate? The knight is guarding the g2 pawn, right? If bishop or queen captures, knight captures...
I think you're right. But I guess he was more like "hey take my free bishop". I don't think he intended to threaten him with mate.

at 10:24 how is there Qxg2#?? isn't the knight on f4 defending the pawn?
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.

5:32 here Ghitescu had the chance to to destroy Tal's center by a similar sacrifice: K:e5 capturing the second pawn while Tal's d4 pawn is still hanging...
"In Soviet Russia, the car is you!", its the first part of a phrase used to comedic effect, usually with the implication that in the USSR things are primitive. :)
10:21 is not threatening mate as the knight is defending it
@10:26 How Checkmate in G2 ? While the knight in F4 guard G2 ?
Is the joke maybe a reference to Spassky and Fischer game1?
Awesome videos man!
I enjoy every game you share with the public. Quite educational on all levels. Do you play tournament chess yourself?
how you can say black threat checkmate with queen in g2 because knight is guarding g2.can you explain ?
in soviet russia.. couch chills on the dog..
I'm pretty sure you have a few games to remake nowadays, but you surely should add this to the list (just a suggestion).
Kindly make video on pawn movement the in different situation..... Conditional..... Plz
at 7:51 would knight to f6 not be better as it checks the king and wins the queen? in the game they played knight f4 but that doesnt seem as strong to me of a move.
You made me laugh with "but Tal isn't interested in capturing a piece, he played Rd1"
Finally I know who is staring at me in every upper right corner!
