Garry Kasparov: "I worked a bit with Tal. Around 1980, he visited Baku, we played a couple of training games, and the chess contact wasn't lost until Tal's very last days. There was a blitz tournament in Moscow, one month before Tal's death. He looked horribly. But Tal was still Tal. In this blitz tournament, I lost my only game to him. I retaliated in the second round, but the fact was that until the very end, he still had this vision of games. He was the only one I knew who didn't calculate the variants, he saw them."

in soviet russia, the queen promotes to a pawn
good one...
in Soviet Russia, pawn sacrifices you!
Omg so much to do with this
In Soviet Russia, a pawn can only move back not forward!
in soviet russia chess plays you
Aman Soni I think we have a winner
Dog is practicing his endgame in the background.
Jokey Chan 😂😂
Actually cracked me up XD
Best part around 8:00.
I lost track of the game after those moves.
For reaching a mate
hahahaha 😅😅😅😅
"In America you can always find a party, in Soviet Russia the Party can always find you."

In Soviet Russia, people wait for bread; in America, bread waits for people!
Rotfl!
Life in America is NOT a party.
This was so freakin intelligent man
In the US, you can always find a party with drugs and promiscuity.
In Soviet Russia, chess plays you.
Very suspicious.

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
Hence in the normal world, pawn takes bishop would be sensible, but in soviet Russia, Bishop take pawn
I'll be honest it doesn't really make sense in context of this game, but that's the gist of these Russia memes
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
In America, you watch TV. In Soviet Russia, TV watch you!
Well explained! It's usually hard to explain memes
You pronounced Theodor Ghitescu's name really well, man! As a Romanian I congratulate you
+Mihai Carstea Thank you! :)
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 America, you have accent. In Soviet Russia, accent has you!
Actually the t in Ghitescu is read like zz in pizza.
I eat cheese meat and bread with some romianian soldiers we traded boots after the meal
These games are so complicated. Sometimes I wish they would just take the damn piece and be stupid like me so I can feel better!
It is with that attitude you will never succeed in chess . True one must not be afraid to admit he will not reach the heights in chess , but never let lack of hard work be the cause. Chess wiill give back what you put in . It's that simple .
@@brianbary1771 and it is with your comment that I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to be some chess super star and is just joking
@@brianbary1771 it's exactly that attitude why most people find it difficult to get into chess. The chess community is just so toxic elitist and often can't take a joke 🙄
@@viorry1829 Chess is the original elitist game so it makes sense I guess
@@brianbary1771 what rank r u??
"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).
This comment is perfection, actually.
"The latvian reversal" would be a nice name for this game
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.

Please enjoy my show starting at about 0:30
Bruhhhhhh 😁😁😁

Woof! Woof!
His dog's either having a seizure or catching a rabbit in his dreams 7:40
He's all excited about Tal's sacrifice!
This was completely winning for the dog 🐕
He’s enjoying the position
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...;-)
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
In Soviet Russia they say, "In the United States, they eat hamburgers."

Your channel is amazing, I love your in-game analysis. Thank you so much!
In Soviet Russia porn watches bishop.
NxtGameRoxs :] that was actually good lmao
The Infinice many thanks it works well. The pawn watches over the bishop. And the reverse being the bishop watches porn. xD
NxtGameRoxes :] No, that's in Vatican!
@shrey jauhari not everyone's native language is English I made it 'porn' and not "pawn" on purpose, so people would get it. TLDR Bishop watches porn.
God, this title is epic.
In Soviet Russia, Waldo finds you.
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
The turning point was the central pawn swap for white's bishop. I'll take a look to see if black could have prevented this.
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
Favorite of your videos and what a great match. Black was amazing but Tal was relentless!
Always nice to listen that voice..... AND THEY'RE JUST MONSTER PAWN......
Good presentations all of them, and I actually find your dog in the background entertaining as well!
Agadmator, really enjoy your channel, very educational with good analysis learning lots....I think, thankyou
In Soviet Russia, dance breaks YOU!
Love that you research and try to figure out the etymology of the phrase. Thanks
Wow! Fantastic analysis as always. Thanks.)
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😅😂
thank you for all these Tal videos
Man I'm way behind on your vids but I promise I'm catching up tonight and tomorrow! You're the best chess channel period.
"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 from the comedian Yakov Smirnoff
It's basically a meme on the internet now
+Dipak Rao, That's a good one!
It's been a meme IRL ever since Yakov did the bit. I've heard it constantly since then. He's the originator.
"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 =]
Can you do some Alekhine games?
Yes ! and Capablanca and Steinitz (maybe some Lasker) :)
@@problematic7993 alekhine not bruh. if tal is rated 99 at attack, alekhine should be around 93/94. see his games though.
5 queens on the board and lasker trap are very imaginative games, check it out
@@problematic7993 you must me be a newbie in chess
?
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!"
The original joke was "In some places, you can find a party anywhere. In Soviet Russia, The party find you."
I think I have watched all your videos, you are really good, I'm improving chess and English. Thank you!
Agadmator you're a savior of todays chess, if you didnt do youtube videos i wouldve never seen this game
"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. ;-)
Hello, i'm from Romania! Thank you for this game!
Your games are really great!
10:25 , there is no checkmate as knight is there ..
MD ZUNED he said check not mate
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
Your analysis is excellent
10:35 definitely not a mate position with that knight on f4
I was wondering that as well. How was that a checkmate situation?
#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
Love your videos saludos desde Mexico. A game from Carlos Torre Repetto would be nice, specially the game with Lasker.
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!
mate you are gaining like a thousand subs per days, thats super nice, keep up fella

YAY A Tal game!
👍Thanks.
I've watched a lot of your vids now and it seems you really like Mikhail Tal a lot
Drinking some Raki while watching :))
Interesting game. Thank You
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.)
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
“Agadmator, you are a genius Antonio”
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
You are really Best chess analysist 👍
Another great game by Tal!
This is Art by All MEANS!
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."
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-
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reversal It was pretty popular in America in the 80s to make fun of Russia because of the whole Cold War thing.
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.
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.
Yekov Smirnoff "in Soviet Russia ...(then something backwards from usual) is a joke
Odlicna partija!Super analiza..Pogledaj partiju Gideon Stalberg vs Gligoric Beograd 1949..Ortodoksna damina odbrana je igrana1/2 i1/2..Remi.Voleo bi da je analiziras.Veliki pozdrav!
great video side note :after bishop c6 there is no checkmate since Nf4 is guarding g2 tal moved rook to threaten bishop
how you can say black threat checkmate with queen in g2 because knight is guarding g2.can you explain ?
An absolutely fantastic game
7:38 Poor doggo is being possessed
"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. :)
7:34 the dog hehhee
In Soviet Russia, hamburger eats YOU.
I like the "Tal move"
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.
You are king👏
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.
You made me laugh with "but Tal isn't interested in capturing a piece, he played Rd1"
7:35 cant help but notice the dog having seizure of happyness in the back.
Can someone tell me why B6 isn't played after Bishop A4? I never see it done
Iven Yarovoy what would b6 do for you? B5 isn't played because it overextends on the queenside and the a2-g8 diagonal is pretty good, especially against a kingside castled opponent
In Soviet Russia, The game is played before Agadmator uploads
10:27 there is no checkmate on g2 as the f4 knight covers the square
I took a lot of video to finally realize who is the guy on corner lol
At 10:25 how is qg2 checkmate if Knight g2 is defending the square?
🔥🔥🔥
10:21 is not threatening mate as the knight is defending it
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.
The last Aronian's quote was likely this one, beauty
At 10:23 it is said threatening checkmate at g2. Am I missing something? Black Queen moves to G2 then the Knight at f4 can take. What am I missing?
Finally I know who is staring at me in every upper right corner!
In soviet russia chess plays you.
Dang it you beat me to it
I enjoy every game you share with the public. Quite educational on all levels. Do you play tournament chess yourself?
10:22 that's not a mate yet
"In Soviet Russia, chess plays you."
That's the form those sayings usually take whereby some common action or practice expressible in the form "A does B" becomes "B does A", although sometimes the phrase "In Soviet Russia..." simply prefaces the depiction of something unusual of surprising.
Like for the title alone xD had me laughing hard!
the position after qd7 is the puzzle in the magic of mikhail tal book
I hope you get 600k subscriber
Is the joke maybe a reference to Spassky and Fischer game1?
Awesome videos man!
@10:26 How Checkmate in G2 ? While the knight in F4 guard G2 ?
I'm pretty sure you have a few games to remake nowadays, but you surely should add this to the list (just a suggestion).
hello !! im a fan from Tunisia , can you please analyse the game of Shirov in witch he played the bishop sac known as the best move in history , it would be an excellent long endgame video !
