I came home early the other day and I heard strange noises coming from my wife's bedroom. As I was approaching I heard her yell "don't come in" and I backed off because "always retreat". Rly wonder if she was cheating though...

Always sac the marriage

[@user-ek4ic2ip9e]

Never “f-“ a six.

[@WorldOfDeepThought]

She used a engine? 😱

[@Jamm3z133]

I’ve heard she’s highly rated

[@user-ek4ic2ip9e]

sounds like Queen got skewered

[@remophix]

can someone PLEASE sponsor a lecture where Ben just tells us stories?

[@Demian_R]

You can!

[@jayyy5270]

Crazy to think this match is now further away from the present than the 2082 WC match.

[@mcronrn]

This video was extremely well produced.
Ok, Spencer, that’ll be $5.

[@atomicpiano]

Thanks for showing these old school games

[@lukacalov1988]

Respect for Gligorić being the best from the rest twice

[@ivanzivkovic8224]

Respect no matter what!

[@Roberto-bd9fq]

What a fine compilation of the past in chess, as there is lots of material and Ben does a great job of telling it all, with humor, grace, and insight.

The lecture remains excellent, Averbakh has passed away in the meantime.

[@justsomeboyprobablydressed9579]

RIP, Averbakh.

Great lecture Ben. I've always wished to play like Tal, but honestly I play more like a dollar store Botvinnik. I always think of this match when I see this Ne2 move in the classical CK, Tal played it in a number of games and I always wondered why he didn't mix it up a little more.

[@zacharyheflin6794]

Tal.. always inspirational !

[@TheMaestromMephisto]

been wanting to study all world championships matches from Morphy to Kasparov but i'm too lazy, this was dope

[@danjeory3659]

wow, that first game was insane in the endgame. And it never even got to the endgame!

[@shakeydante]

Friðrik Ólafsson is alive.

[@951genni]

Forty seven minutes with Ben

[@alexandershorse9021]

Tal was a unique genius.

[@piozensen2936]

Love wideo ❤

[@Mathemagical55]

Tal said he played Bf4 because being moved backstage broke his concentration and he would have otherwise played Rxc3 but forgot his analysis.

[@franks.7736]

I don‘t know when this video was recorded, but Awerbach died over a year ago.

[@broken1394]

Recorded November 2020.

[@anybodykill6666]

Kids these days.

[@erickent4248]

He did make it to a clean 100 years though. RIP Yuri.

[@roqsteady5290]

He was always an expert on the endgame

[@Demian_R]

0:30 Pronunciation made me wonder how Chess hasn't made a Bot Vinnik bot yet. 🤔

[@knightrider585]

That kid is right. Don't resign before you see the other player's move. They might blunder! haha

[@TheMaestromMephisto]

GM Friðrik Ólafsson still alive

[@chadmacgargle5311]

You know Indian positions are complicated when Tal and Botvinnik don't always know what to do

[@sublimeade]

Fake upload i saw this video years ago
