I could listen to Yassers stories every day. He has such a calm voice.

He knows more than most that’s forsure.

Plot twist: Soviet agents tried to assassinate him, but instead found Yasser who was 20 years old and as strong as an ox.

I love how Korchnoi's first idea wasn't, e.g., "buy a security system" or "buy a gun" or "hire a bodyguard", it was "get some stooge to sleep in my bed so he'll get shot instead" LOL

"I have a bad back" lol

I would love an animated version of yasser's stories!

Every story by Yasser is a gem.

I read this story many many years ago on Yasser's book. He keep telling this stories in between his lectures and I never got tired listening to this amazing story with Korchnoi. I am glad now there is a video DEDICATED to this story!

Yasser is a (inter)national treasure. If he wasn't a GM he could make an easy living as a voice actor or presenter.

Yasser is funny. He could tell a story in the middle of a fistfight, and you wouldn't notice it ;-)

That one dislike is from the Soviet assassin.

Yasser = instant like. Most personable and nicest guy in chess history!

Zero dislikes just shows how charming Yasser is.

I love Yasser

I like how Master Storyteller Yasser Seirawan is also a Chess Grandmaster.

The Karpov vs Korchnoi documentary is amazing 👏

A Grand Master in telling stories👌

That's actually similar to a detective story I have read. A person thinks he's life is in danger and gets another complete stranger to live in his home for a week or more while he himself goes to hiding. Later the stranger hires a detective to find out what's going on

Yassir so polite, Korchnoj realised he'd only yield, if he thought he were saving Korchnoj's life

Amazing! What a story!

Yay, storytime!

He has wonderful memories.

I love how Grandmaster Yasser's most important lessons are off the board. Its more important to be a GM at life anyway.

more yasser 🥳

hahaha I love Yasser's stories :D

I think Spassky told the best stories. But Yasser is great!

Wooo story telling 10/10

The 1 dislike is the Russian assassin..

Nice twist in the end

Back in the early ‘70s or possibly late ‘60s my father played chess with a Russian man every morning at his favourite coffee bar in Estepona in southern Spain - then he just suddenly stopped showing up. A week or so later he was discovered in the hills at the back of town with bullets in him.

zero dislikes = zero people who didn't watch til the end :D

I appreciate the note on the correct pronunciation. Even if it is a 'small village' doesn't mean we can disregard any attempt to correctly pronounce the name.

Excellent bedtime story lol

😂😂😂 thank you Yasser

so wijk aan zee is in tilbur right?

That is an epic story and KGB clicked 1 dislike

'Wijk Ann Zee' come on how did you fuck that up.

Yasser looks like Uncle Max from Ben 10

Push em, baby

Wijk aan zee

That's kind of messed up though.

Thats hilarious 😂😂.... Unless of course korchnoi legitimately put yasser in a dangerous scenario. Does anyone know if the soviets were after korchnoi or anything more about this story?

I don't understand why Soviets wants to assassinate to their own? Isn't vk is a soviet citizen at that time? Pls someone explain me...

can we all just appreciate Yasser's shirt for a moment like GOD DAMN

0 dislikes

Yasser's stories prove how dangerous and cruel the Soviets were. Knowing that it's a fascist-type of government.

All my stories are terrible.

Let’s be real... Korchnoi picked up on those closeted vibes Yasser puts off and thought he would try his luck at some cuddle time in the guest bedroom... when Yasser rebuffed him Korchnoi pretended like he intended for Yasser to take the master bedroom all along.

There's a lot of money, status, and influence involved in world championship matches, completely believable. Even more so given that this was during the soviet era.

Pretty sure Yasser would have stopped being friends with Korchnoi if the story was true.
