This is brilliant! I have never seen such an amazing format for chess commentary. Even the cheesy 80s graphics with the piece flashing is helpful for visualization, and the "Move by Move" style is really good. Getting to hear what the actual players' thoughts were is what makes it so entertaining. It's like you are at the board listening to a post-mortem. Is there any programme or video series that resembles this in the current day?

Nunn is a amazing!

This is awesome! Thank you so much for uploading this!! Please upload more from the Master Game series!!!! :)

Awesome stuff, really.. I think We could spare 30 minutes to 1 hour of TV time for something like this, from top tournaments. Shame that chess is not on TV in europe or the usa.. Go, or shogi on the other hand, are on TV in Japan, China and S.Korea.. That tells alot about "modern" Western society, I think.

+misterkefir ..and chess is on tv in russia and other country heavy on chess.

Thank you for this. Hope you can seek out some more games from this televised tournament.

They said Nigel Short is 22 and Garry Kasparov 24. That makes the year 1987.

You make my day 🌈 thank you

God I miss this intelligent commentary. Long lost for today's bullshit 'lets get ready to rumble' *horseshit* heard today.

Tendrás toda la "temporada" de estos videos? Si es sí, los podrías subir todos, no los hallo por ningún lado :S Saludos y gracias

I read somewhere that Nunn was far too intelligent for Chess.

That's what Magnus Carlsen said, and he's probably right. Nunn is also a Professor of mathematics. In fact he achieved this in the same year he became a Grandmaster.

Do they own 1-5 , and 8 series plus the 2 books that came with the series?

Es una lástima ver como arruinan la vista del tablero con ese F.S. Temporizador y entonces los comentarios pierden sentido.. al final y al cabo tecnología VHS . El Doctor John es una persona formidable!

What year was this?

Actually this video wasn't The Master Game, although the style is very similar.
