I don't think we heard enough of the game to know where the pieces really were. I think we only heard a few of the moves, with many moves inbetween that we didn't get to hear. So we end up with a game that doesn't make sense to us, but for them, it was a great game.
VRIceblast after ist maybee him Who had forget some pieces after maybee for act they have dont say all moves x)
maybe. you get a point
Yeah they're playing Fischer-Spassky, Reykjavik 1972
Agreed. After the move "king side castle" by black, Jane comes and says bishop takes e7. However that's not possible cuz there's a knight in between that square.
Now someone posted the original match of professional chess and it shows all the moves
I remember one episode where he plays a Street hustler, and he says some nonsensical thing like your Spanish is no match for the Grunfeld
I love that pieces-jumper bishop
yeah, can't bieleve that the bishop actually jumped. then the knight just disappeared
I also love that last move, where the bishop's just standing still, as he already is in c4 (3:23) and forces checkmate without check while actually just blundering the queen
This game is the same as Fischer - Spassky, which was played in Reykjavik in 1972 (Game 6). So, in that case, before the bishop takes e7, we have e3 by white, h6 to kick the bishop, then we have bishop h4, b6 by black, the pawn that is on c4 captures on d5 and after that, the knight captures on d5. Only then, bishop captures on e7.
Good job he wasn't playing Magnus the episode would have been over before the first ad break lol
Thank you. I was wondering how that bishop plowed straight through the knight on its way to e7.
That final position looks like the famous match of the century between Fischer and Spassky. In that case, some of the apparently illegal moves make sense by assuming they skipped many moves in the series.
It is apparently ...same
Jane, the mentalist, can see straight through the knight on F6.
I bet some scenes showing some of the moves were cut for time. Also, that scene of them in the car, they were texting movies as well. I need to see the whole episode.
this would have been a better video if you placed a chess board at all times next to the screen.
while they performed their moves, that way we could follow on the board.
I dont think that they are playing chess. I mean just like football, they have their own chess.
True
Am I the only one who noticed that the White King and Queen were on the wrong squares before the first move was even played and stayed like that throughout? The King should be on e1 and the Queen on d1, but if you look, they're switched from the beginning.
too bad they left out some plays. I was disappointed to find that some plays were left out. But since it is a famous game I will just look it up. I love this show. Cho is kick ass.
how the hell bishop takes e7??? there's a night in between for god's sake
Vivek Bhat that's what I thought, it's an illegal move
TV never gets chess right.
He probably waited for daylight, so the night goes away
Vivek Bhat cause he maybee fail his screen. He had say Queen to d8 and king to g8
Not to mention that Rook to c-8 bullshit
Would you not consider the scene where janes texting in the car saying ''he will be resigned before lunch'' and his manner that of some one that's been playing throughout the day and that there are scenes implied where they move their pieces but we don't see?
I want the mentalist and monk in the same show
I don't mean to offend anyone, but those who complain about the game and their moves not making sense don't know what they're talking about, plain and simple. The game cannot be judged by the scenes shown in this video or even in the episode for that matter, because most of the in-between moves weren't shown. You can't recreate the board and follow their moves, because you simply don't know all their moves. Most of the critisism shows that people who commented haven't watched the episode or don't remember it.
I was commenting that as well.. one scene they were sending text messages but never said what the move was.
come on, Occam's razor. Don't try to find complicated solutions to simple things. Look how Patrick touches rook first when castling king side. Rules of chess allow to castle only touching king first, because castling is considered as king move in chess. It's obvious that neither Patrick, nor that guy Thompson actually knows anything about chess.
Lisbon's panic at 2:40 always makes me laugh
I love chess in your shows but I'm tired of every smart character just happening to be a super grandmaster on the side, people have no idea how hard it is to play that well
true
Very entertaining tho
I don't even know how to play chess, but here I am watching and feeling smart 😎
You're right. Far too dramatic if they were actually playing a game. The opening didn't call for all that taunting, it was a line so well-trodden, even I have memorized it to 8 moves.
The best part of the episode
With Kg8 (to which the king was already on)...I'm actually beginning to wonder if the show missed some moves in their game.
People irl: "Yeah, chess is okay. I don't mind a game here or there when I have the time. Not something I do often though."
Commenters: "OMFG! How dare they do this move! And that move on square 53 was just plain wrong! What complete amateurs! How dare they! Here is my 64 page paper proving just how incorrect that one move he made on his 12th turn really was!"
2:16 It's so funny that Lisbon dose not give a flying sh*t about the game lol
*****
She's smart now cus they are married LOL
If only i were born with the talent of photographic memory
error: white king and white queen are in wrong initial boxes
It's not a semi-slav at move 3. It's a classic QGD, and progresses into a Lasker Defence.
If my bishop could've taken e7 in that position, then I would have taken d8 instead.
That is why Unicorn variation story is great. Have real game in it. This is more for show only. They dont't expect us to check game:)
yeah, missing the moves they didnt state was extremely confusing.
Why all these objections to the bishop moving to e7? You guys are assuming that they show every move that the players played. Perhaps before Jane engages in bishop on bishop up violence, Bunting had moved his knight to e4 and opened up the lane to e7. They also don't show every time Jane ate, slept, or went to the bathroom but nobody's wondering how he's not starving, quite lovely for being sleep deprived, or acting cavalier for someone whose bowels are about to explode.
i actually just now commented, how come bishop x e7 😅
@jpechac yep.. that's the exact game.... Jane makes a mistake when he says "Declining the gambit" though. He should have said that only after the next move.

like several people pointed out already, this is the game they were playing, several moves are skipped because they presumably had made moves off camera.
the only thing that doesn't make sense is at 3:13 since at no point in the entire game black's pawn goes to f4, but the bishop to c4 right afterwards is accurate.
black resigned in the end at the original game and i'm not really that good at chess but if they kept going i think white would have forced mate in 3, which is also accurate to what patrick says.
I miss the mentalist.
Still the battle between sherock and moriarty in the movie is the best
1:25 white king and queen are in reversed positions.
Dunam That's because Jane castled with his queen--0-0-0-0-0.
To all the would-be Chess Experts here (like RUclips doesn't have wannabe experts in everything else) it's just a TV show, relax and enjoy the banter. Who really cares about whether or not the game itself, a minor part of the episode, makes sense?
I think the point is that the errors show that the makers of the show ultimately treat their audience like idiots and don't care about them. No one making a high profile show like this would dream of making obvious mistakes that show the lead character with a brilliant mind being a total idiot, if they think the audience will notice them, because it spoils the audience's immersion and trust in the character and shoe. Imagine showing a character who is meant to be good at golf playing a round and repeatedly striking the ball with the wrong side of the club. Or someone who is a supposedly great cook preparing for a dinner party by not only making a microwave meal (!) but failing to take off the outer packaging (!). It breaks the spell and destroys the audience experience.
The fact that the makers of this show have made such obvious errors with chess here can only be explained by two possibilities: either they assume that no one in their audience is capable of understanding the basics of chess (they treat their audience like idiots); or they realize that some might, but they simply don't care about them.
FerretJohn Why not just get it right? I mean, they are gonna have continuity people checking the levels of water in glasses, the length of rolled sleeves, the combing of hairstyle, makeup, position of coffee cup handles, lighting changes, actors positions, etc,etc,etc. The director decided to make a chess game the overarching theme of this episode. Just get it right. If it’s too geeky, have a police chase instead.
@@albertbatfinder5240 actually they usually don't have people checking the length of rolled sleeves or the level of water in water glasses, nor did they feel the need to find a professional chess player to check the game. Why? Because the producers don't cater to the micro-minority of nitpicking haters who obsess over every tiny detail in order to show how much smarter they are. The vast majority of watchers didn't care if the ga,e was accurate, it was fun to watch regardless and their main focus was seeing the heroes catch the bad guy.
@@FerretJohn However, for this "minority", it would be such a treat to see Patrick's true intellectual superiority through a game as amazing as chess, game of big brains you know.
It's just a shitty wasted potential for the whole character.
I like the attitude of winning
maybe the moves would make sense if the king and queen starting positions are set on wrong squares. did anybody check ?
I don't mean to knit pick, but your setup of the chess board is wrong. The white king and queen should be switched.
It's nitpick - one word, no k.
amazing video
Pawn C4, Pawn E6
Knight F3, ........Pawn D5
"Declining the Gambit, interesting". What Gambit is he declining at that point???!?!?!???? Auggg
The pieces are misplaced. In the first board picture, the white king and queen are reversed from where they should be.
To all the pedantic people...
Remember that scenes get cut, and even sometimes rearranged, in editing.
So, very possibly all your "illegal" moves are simply missing prior moves that make them legal.
But they had the opportunity to create a clever, coherent game, and they missed it.
A lot of the pieces on the board shown in the pictures are in the wrong places
I tried to recreate this scene with my pieces, and some of the moves doesn't make sense. And the end part seemed confusing, what happened to the most of the pieces? did they just, disappear?
Overall great show, but I was hoping a challenging game. Not this.
Interessting how the bishop takes on e7 while the knight on f6 and the pawn in b2 😂😂😂😂 i relaized who's red jone but i couldn't imagin this 🤦♂️
Very few people possess knowledge of Deep Blue. If I remember correctly that is the computer that finally bested Gary Kasparov who in my humble opinion is basically the best human chess player ever though less famous than Bobby Fischer who is another play some consider the best.
Magnus Carlsen is best chess player.
He can always moves in end after no?
Winning attitude
Dissapointed about this match. When I watch the episode I see two intelligent men having a battle of wits. When I watch the game, I see two blundering idiots who think they are good at something, but don't know what they're talking about.
Fail comment is fail
It's not a fail comment,
Btw heller is the idiot not jane or his opponent either...
Dunam I hate to point out the obvious, usually I find people who do just this very annoying, but somebody has to: IT'S A TV SHOW!!!! They're not actually playing a real game of chess, it just sounds good to the average viewer who doesn't obsess over the game
Vaibhav Shah lel
+FerretJohn It's just annoying because this is a really classic opening that has featured in tournament play. It would have taken only a few minutes to open up a book or a website and copy down an actual game for the show. Several of the moves made on the show are not possible. It ruins the immersion if you actually know anything about chess.
I think you put the board wrong on white because
the queen suppose to be on d1 and the king suppose to be on e1
DeClInInG A gAmBiT IntErEsTiNg
He says like it's the most rare occurrence in chess history
Holy COW! His rook can jump pieces too?!?
not just rook mate, practically all the pieces. heck I got surprised when the bishop jumped over the knight to capture his bishop, but the knight somehow vanished.
Jane is a major ball buster...
That's why I like him...
How do they know which pawn or bishop
Would love to have a mind like that.
I wish they'd spoken the moves in algebraic notation.
He would have won if he has tomorrows newspaper today
1:39 you cannot possibly take on e7 with your bishop, with a knight planted on f6
The guy playing Patrick has such a pencil neck that would make Adam Schiff look like Mike Tyson
1:35 how is the bishop taking e7, if there is a knight at f6? Is there something I miss?
Declining what gambit? There's no gambit to decline after 1. c4, e6 2. nf3
How did the Bishop take E7? Wasn't the Knight on F6 blocking it? Also the comment about DEEP BLUE...wasn't that the chess computer that FINALLY took down Gary Kasparov?
... two intermediate moves are missing, like cxd5 Nxd5. Now the knight is out of the way.
why is the board set up incorrectly? white king on d1?
2:32 why’s the white king and queen on the wrong squares
I want that Bishop that Hops The Knight And Enemy Bishop, I am Going to Win A Hole Lot With That!
How can you play Bxe7 from the position at 1:27? Any chess player with the capacity to play blind would spot it ...
isnt that the guy from short circuit movies?
Isn't this Fischer-Spassky, Reykjavik 1972?
It is, nice catch. "The Applause". That confirms they move off-screen
It can't be the case that the pieces were moved off camera. He says bishop C4 at some point, but the bishops covering C4 were both taken out by then already. He's just calling random positions. Sad.
take a closer looking.
Call me The Plague
First thing I noticed: white king and queen are in the wrong positions.
@jpechac Fritz database?
Your board’s king and queens appear incorrect
As of move 27 we Have a completely new game.
YOU PUT THE KİNGS ON THE WRONG SQUARE
Este es el único comentario en español que encontrarás
Era, jajaja.
They could've very easily just used stockfish vs itself to find a really top notch game to use for the moves here for the show but no lol
As far as the final turns are concerned:
Nothing in chess is definitely predicted or set. But since it's a game about logic and progressive action, there is a matter of outcome (win/lose) probability versus consecutive position. It is a classical game, in the deepest meaning of the word. If the round is bound for a close, the opponent does not resist but excepts defeat. Players do not chase each other's Kings, like it happens on mmo or arcade.
Certain moves are destined simply because the alternatives do not reverse the outcome. Hence even though "force check in 3 moves" may be an overstatement but it is the right call.
I know this is a 6 year old comment, but it sounds like you're saying that 'forced mate in 3' isn't a real thing, but it is.
So, basically, the mentalist has no real idea what they're doing with chess. They definitely didn't "miss" moves. Even if they did, it doesn't seem like they're actually keeping track. They seemed more like they were spouting off random positions
is me or the guy who play chess with jane looks like vincent van goth?? xD
I have no idea what any of that was
How did bishop take E7?
The chessboard is incorrect. The white queen is on the wrong square. The rule is the queen always starts on her own colour.
I want play that too
Bc4?!? Is Jane taking his own pieces?!?
i would guess they meant to make it a queens gambit declined (as jane says "declining the gambit) and messed up the move order
or im mistaken cause im a 1450 pleb
It is Queen's Gambit declined after D4 and black not taking on C4, so Jane just said it 1 turn too early
@@xooperz Nf3 d5 c4 e6 is a declined gambit and transposes from the same position
This game doesnt work. Either you have missed out moves, or they have made up the game.
As previous people have already said, when they should be exchanging knight for bishop, there should be a knight and queen on the black's kingside.
Most dissappointing, thought this was going to be a real game.
The video's length is 4:20. Check.
mate.
I'm not sure if its in the vid or if the board was edited in but the queen an kings are to face each other not one another...queen alway gets color..white queen is white tile black queen gets black tile...this game board is incorrect...
Where is the force mate?
i cant see it in three
i tried for hours
correct me if i'm wrong please
Hello, English isn't my first language but I'll try to comment this: I can't either.
I am not a professional chess player, but I know this is the sixth game of the Match of the Century: Fischer vs Spaasky (1972).
This game looks like it has no sense, but there aren't all the moves from the original game.
Hey your board is wrong i mean queens should be facing each other also how does bishop x e7 happen?
"Forced mate in 3 moves" ???
It is now black's turn...
I do not believe this 100%
PS Thanks for putting this video together ;-)
Agreed. Black is ahead in pieces. Jane has no way to move the pawn forward to put the king in check.
He also has his Rook in a line with a queen in a good support position. Any offensive is going to be tricky.
Not to mention the Bishop move doesn't gain Jane anything. Taking the pawn doesn't cost him anything, and it lets him add a bit of pressure.
@@mattisonfroese4092 hahahahah no
and btw how can the bishop take the e7 over the knight that is to f6?
he jumps over it. Why would knight be only peace that can jump?
Let's just say it's a horse
Kinda learning chess
Love the show, but this video is so effed up because the white king starts on D1??? How damn hard is it to set a chess board up?
You sank my battleship!
OK I'll go now.
Bye nerds.
Don't you mean "battleshit"?
three movements.
dude I dont get the last board how in the world is that even a force mate I mean the opponent's king is not even I check in the first place
Andy Liu c
The best of that is that the place of the white black jajjajJa white king in d1 and white queen in e1 jajaja
Wish i could do that
