Are you kidding me? Korchnoi and Byrne giving move-by-move analysis of their game?! Hands down the best chess video on KZread!

Yup, I'm not too hot about the French but this is a vid I keep coming back to, superb!

Very fond memories of growing up watching these on tv....the central jewel was hearing the players voicing their thoughts....it was very clever tv and made wonderful viewing..esp when one player was really struggling...you could hear the frustration and despair!

The voodoo advice at the end...hysterical!

You feel like you've been given a present. Two Grandmasters play each other on your TV, and they're trying their best with their own commentaries. This was British television in those days. I like at the end when the presenter says "that should be fun". What. Chess is fun? Imagine pitching that to a BBC exec now. It's all food, houses, lifestyle, dancing. A sadness. I'm living in the past most days.

The problem with fun is that someone who isn't having fun is always offended.

--I'm giving Korchnoi a chance to show of his technique--, mad respect for Byrne that is a class act

Sadly both players are now no longer with us. Great series I watched as a teenager. TV was worth watching then.

Remembering watching this as a kid. Mesmerising 😮

A great loss for the chess world. Loved Robert Byrne personality.

Realmente geniales estos vídeos! Muy instructivo saber como pensaban estos tanques del Ajedrez. GM. Víctor Korchnoi uno de mis ídolos

I loved the video, thanks for uploading it! Muchas gracias keelasever, me encantó oirles pensar en voz alta

I remember wacthing this on tv it was a gem to watch because they did not show much chess but when they did i got excited. Nowadays with internet its everywere too much of it no kick out of it now miss the old days.

A very enjoyable game. French defense is my favorite opening and Korchnoi is great. Was nice hearing his commentary. Slow positional games such as this one is the kind of chess I like the best.

Este material es oro puro!

Gracias por subir el video!

There were only about 120 Grandmasters back then, I probably knew all of their names because only 2 or 3 new ones were created each year. Now we are at 1450, a lot of them with ratings less than 2500, its ridiculous.. they need to change the criteria to make the GM title mean something again.

Pls upload all u got of Master games this is amazing

GM Byrne's use of the phrase "sticky pudding" is uncomfortably ubiquitous.

It's interesting watching these kind of early positions as a much lower rated player than these GMs. They tend to build up tension rather than go for the quick exchanges lesser players do. As black, my instinct would have been to advance to C4 as soon as white doubled their pawns to try to restrict their options immediately. It did come later, but first he got the queen out. It's such a minor part of this game but it's the first place in the game where I saw a move I'd have played differently. Korchnoi's instinct was to initially leave that open and first initiate another piece.

Isn't this what bbc4 was supposed to be for? Instead, it's full of top of the pops reruns and yet more fucking panel shows

great upload!

Thanks for posting this. It seems to me Korchnoi plays brilliantly, his position for black is as good as any you could hope to have with those colours. Can any Korchnoi experts out there tell me how good this game stands in the history of his career, I don't know that much about him?

La maniobra Cd8 Cf7, refutó todo el plan blanco. Increíble. The manouver Nd8 Nf7 just refuted all white plan.

Theme tune turns into Morricone's Come Maddalena at the end

Great stuff. Thanks, keelasever !

Korchnoi was good profound position play

Korchnoi could be an absolutely impossible person, but strangely also lovable: maybe because he was so persecuted by the Soviets, maybe because his failings are such warm blooded human ones. And of course he was brilliant. Strongest player never to be World Champion, probably!

I liked the wee bit at the end about Victor consulting a witch doctor. He always was as mad as a balloon :)

crazyclive no, it was about Byrne.

at 14:44 rather than Re2, could Bd6 be better? and if Nf7 something like Bb4 hitting the Queen and then allowing the doubling of white Rooks, because the Bishop holds all the pawns up? It could be too slow though, after the Queen moves, black is maybe ready to play e5 right away, before white can get enough pieces on it, but after d x e black will have a weak d pawn. It looks better for white than Re2 without being ready to double.

korchnoi jugando la francesa y comentando como juega , de lo mejor.

There used to be several videos of this chess tournament from `80 and `81. What happened to them? They featured other players such as: Vlastimil Hort; Svetozar Gligoric and Walter Brown.

I've just been looking at the Chessbase Shop for this and can't find it. What is the name of the item you purchased? Thanks!

Stopped at 11:35 because Byrne played h2-h4 in order to open k-side lines. If 17...Rh7 was designed to prevent 18 h5, then white should renew the threat with 18 Bf3.

Do u have any more episodes of this? I can only find that one other one.

Nunn vs short

The black chess pieces look like lemon and cherry gummy’s lol.

Where did the other MAster Games go?

My question is... in this game Byrne said he couldn't resist challenging Korchnoi in the French Defense - then he follows up with an experimental move.. At least at the time. Why wouldn't he just stay with Bd3-e2?

@alexandrefreitas7953

I don't think it was experimental. Bf1 makes total sense when black plays c4 closing the center. Bd3 kind of provokes it.

This is stupid! If Robert thinks his KB is better placed on on g2 or h3 then he should have played g2 at move 9.

@alexandrefreitas7953

Not stupid, he plays first Bd3 (which is the most active square for the bishop) to provoke c4, which closes the center. Once the center is closed, then Bg2 is the best square for te bishop.

It's their voices .

I dont like this exercise. It leaves the impression that both GMasters play so random, without planning before every move. A GM always sees in advance 3 to five moves. Here it seems they are thinking only one move each turn.

I believe that for the sake of brevity, they are reviewing the strategic ideas and the moves that further their strategic ideas. Not the interminable calculations that go along in selecting them.

Simply not true.

Byrne was an idiot. He wastes 3 or 4 moves with his KB instead of playing g3 and Bg2 right out of the gates, which he managed to do three years later. Byrne just gave victor targets. No wonder Byrne was never world champion. Byrne was just a speed bump. Who discovered that lame talent?
