The soundtrack to this is fire.

A real old school jugoslav gentleman against a friend of Kasparov, a hypocrit who worked relentlessy for the globalism and all the connected shit

In the description of the video the time control 40 moves in 2.5 hours is given. But the commentator says: 40 moves in 2 hours. Can anyone help?

Fun :)

interesting

Wow ! The cocky American got his butt handed to him.🤣🤣🤣

So interesting to see the confab at the start. Nigel did well to keep to simple crushing moves here. Beating Gligoric is a big achievement considering his record against the great Bobbly Fischer.

Check out Tony Miles on Wikipedia. Interesting read. Short said that "Tony was insanely jealous of my success, and his inability to accept that he was no longer the UK's number one was an indication of, if not a trigger for, his descent into madness."

As mentioned before I wish chess was back on TV🙏

My experience of the episode is so different. What with Quinteros' sly smoothness and Browne's boasting I did not enjoy it anything as much as other episodes. Good enough game though.

I like the idea expressed at the beginning that playing bridge is something similar to throwing cards at a top hat! Way to throw shade.

shame this isn't still a programme

Funny if you analyse these old games with an engine. Computer instantly comes up with 13…Nxd4 and black is lost due to the pin after 14. Nxd4 Bxe5. (13…b5 as played in the game is also better for black but far less clear)

Just loving these talk games, only wish chess would come back to the tv🙏🙏🙏

Great series, really entertaining to watch. Should be more of it.

We need more chess back on the tv🙏

1:50 is anyone can read from lips? lol

Felt there was a bit of rudeness towards Miles at the end - in both Nigel's comments and the presenter...maybe you can forgive a nerdy 15yr old but the bridesmaid comment was rude I thought

Argh! The trophy -it's a fat 19th century Mexican in the sun. Has to be - why else would you do that?

Short was not better at 15 than Fischer was at 15 according to chessmetrics.

Worth pointing out that Bill Hartston says at 13:40 that the time control is first 40 moves in 2 hours, not two and a half as you say in your description. Lovely series - thanks for making them available.

Larry Christiansen trash-talking himself is pure gold 😂

this is hans niemanns dad

There should be different country versions of this show

Unbelievable Schmidt did not play Qa3 check when it was effective ( forcing exchange of queens )

Proof that Hans Niemann is a time traveller.

Perhaps at the end of this episode, it should have had the Dr. Who theme?

Wow what a spectacular game what a show of skill 👍👍👍

This show proves that the Government can read your thoughts, after all the BBC could by the early 1980s.

We still won in the Falklands/Malvinas in 1982 though! Rule Britannia!

Nice video

best game of the whole series

Hm, that's what I figured

In 1982, I thought Quinteros would have played The Falklands Gambit.

Adorjan: ''I don't think about the money. Money is not important.'' Also Adorjan: keeps mentioning the money over and over again, obsessing about it.

Adorján looking like a PlayMobil man with that haircut.

All those personalities from 1981 gone, all these boring mumbling players taking their place. I can see why this was the last series,

In the final position Short cannot win by flagging because Hort can move to the 1st rank and after Kh6 Rh1+ Kg7 Hort can exchange the rooks and it's insufficient material.

Of the 8 players who participated in the Master Game 1981, these are the only two who remain alive, Hort being 80 years old now.

39... Nh3 is crushing. Be1 Nef2+, Bxf2 Qf3+, Qg2, Nxf2+, Kg1 Nh3+ and if Kh1 Qd1 just mates so Qxh3 Qxh3 and black is up queen for knight.

28:30 and on the BBC the 15 year old Nigel Short toasts to his victory with a glass of champers! Good old days!

somehow I get as much out of these simple formats as out of expert coverage on St Louis or whatever. What a formidable player Nigel was/is..also Miles comes across well

The calculation is the difference along with a feel for strategy,these players are a whole different level,very talented.

If you run this through Stockfish analysis, Quinteros played very well and was crushing his opponent until he played Rf3? Back then of course they didn't have the post-game engine analysis or evaluation bars. White was +4 at one point.

Hort looks like Cagney’s husband.

Is it possible to get season 3? I would really love to watch Karpov

Oh my gaaa!

These are amazing to watch. Thank you!

My best Channel. These videos are a treasure of chess. back to chess with no engine is always great.

This was the peak for chess on tv type of entertainment, for sure. Such an excellent program. And what a game! Amazing.
