As a former smoker, I recall Boris abstained from smoking during the 72 match. Wondering if he suffered withdrawal symptoms that could have affected his thought process?
That was very pleasant, the commentary sounds like brothers in arms inside a bunker in the front, at night, sharing stories from home. Gentle, respectful and serious.
He was. I met him in San Diego CA in 1986. He was an urbane dignified gentleman; he shook every hand and signed every autograph, a truly memorable experience!
Poor guy having to show the moves Poor Karpov having to stand the smoke Poor Spassky making a blunder Poor me having to remember the good old days when I was a young man
I have every game from this series and all the Master Games. I had put them on TH-cam but they shut me down for copy write issues I was told BBC complained. I do not believe that, rather a chess connoisseur had a hand in it. Shortly after Odeon produced Master Game DVD's. The videos were sent to them by another Englishman which they then reproduced on DVD.I had offered them fo the greater good of the public, but someone had ideas of making money from it after they saw how many people were watching my Master Game Channel.. Shame on them!
I purchased series 6 in digital format, which I can only view from their app or website (no way around this, I've tried) Is there any way someone can upload the videos to a torrent site?
Didn't notice your comment before. I downloaded the videos on my channel from youtube, so I guess they were yours. I decided to reupload them after I saw the videos got missing. I haven't gotten any copyright notice and this video has been up for 3 years now.
@@wolfgang26273 It's wrong to light cigarettes and world champions especially shouldn't do it because there will be conspiracy theorists creating a theory that smoking increases IQ
Perhaps the most invaluable thing to note about chess grandmasters is that they all accept defeat gracefully. Only a promising person can show such class.
Thanks for sharing this, these vintage vids are always a delight. Terrible play by Spassky, those cramped, weak openings usually don't end up well and he paid the price for it. One notices how timid the game is and it's no surprise not long after Kasparov dominated and was a breath of fresh air in a stale scene.
Who are the commentators of this game in 1982? Someone in comments said Yasset and it sounded like Yasser but it not sound like Yasser to me even though he around during those times.
Presenter at start is Jeremy James. Main commentator for the event - and the associated BBC show The Master Game - is Bill Hartston. We also have a very young Yasser Seirawan, who had already been eliminated from this tournament at the time of this game.
20:30 Qxc4 took the analysis from +2 or so to +8. Basically instead of an eventual lost endgame, this move ended the game immediately. The only two options were Qf6 and Nb3. Still both probably losing as he handicapped himself +1 with that opening.
Yeah,I noticed videos like these were missing on youtube.I wish I would of saved them before they got deleted. I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos. Keep up the good work.
I've always felt bad for Spassky, because he really can be a fantastic player when he wants to, he did play in three WCC's, after all, beating none other than Petrosian in one of them, but too many of his most famous games are ones he lost.
Yeah... hey chess experts out there: Nd7 does look weird, as it not only blocks in the c8 bishop, but the knight can't go to c5 or e5 because of White's d4 pawn. But Spassky was a world champ, and obviously knows his stuff. What do you think was the idea behind it when it was played? Thanks.
@@xska2767 How would you know? They never even played. Spassky wasn't a dominant world champ, so it makes sense for Fischer to win over him, but Karpov isn't a pushover. It definitely would have been 12-12 if they played.
@@estolee5485 then how you know he was scared to play? He had personal issues and he actually wanted to play karpov but on his demands that no points for draws. You know a funny fact? Karpov during his hole chess career never reached fischers elo, not even with the rating inflation. Stop with your 2face shit first saying fischer would save himself from embarrassment and then saying it would definitly be 12-12. It seems to me that you are very insecure either for fischers incredible strength or if karpov even would stand a chance. You are talking about bobby fischer here, a top3 chess goat on every top gms list like carlsen, anand, wesley so, radjabov, tal and many more, not some random idiot like you
Fischer was a headcase already in winning vs Spassky. It was even a miracle he played in 1972. But we would have known if Fischer really chickened out if Karpov accepted his terms, like "Okay, cut the crap, I accept your conditions, now prepare to be destroyed" type of approach. Anyways, we will never know.
@@estolee5485 I think Fischer had fallen out of love with chess in the time in-between world championships. Living in America he didn't really have people his level to play like the soviets did, and a few years of just practicing theory and endgames etc. on your own is probably enough to kill almost anyone's enthusiasm.
Chess masters! The popular equivalent would be shaolin monks going at it 1-1, hand-hand & fight to the death. These master's instead fight each other within their minds eye 2 warriors struggle at mortal combat, the greatest battle any warrior has to face is the cattle in their mind.
Spassky was still dangerous opponent. At that time one tournament he was ahead of karpov leading. He is visited by KGB in his home to prevent and stop his winning against karpov.
Totally bullshit)),Boris Spassky was living in France at that time and Anatoly Karpov was undoubtedly the best player in the World. To much fairytales about KGB.
blundering for me: opponent immediately takes my piece flying from across the board. i have no idea what has happened or when i went wrong. blundering as a world champion: (blunders) (realizes fault immediately) (12 moves later the 1% better change of winning move is finally revealed and to the general audience and i had no idea why it was better, but the rook was “blundered” 12 moves ago lol. ie: blunders for the grandmasters happen in advance. blunders for scrubs like me happen immediately with no awareness
I had heard that since the game ended so quickly, and earlier than expected, each guy could go get their hair cut....which was desperately needed in both cases. Sigh...

Completely agreed! He prooved that in 1972 match

what are you doing here Giancarlo??? Let's go back to my channel))))
The commentators seem they lighted up some joints before the event
their voices are very calm, very chilled
Amazing 😂
Spassky may have had problems developing his pieces but had no problem developing his cigarette.
Top comment!
The commentary was so soothing you could label this an asmr video lol
This is unintentional asmr gold. I use it to fall asleep all the time
The real Grandmaster is the guy keeping up with the board in the back.
This is wayyyyyy better than todays commentary!!! By far!!
Poor guy having to show the moves
Poor Karpov having to stand the smoke
Poor Spassky making a blunder
Poor me having to remember the good old days when I was a young man
Is it Yasser Seirawan commenting?Its just that at 19:04 the commentator says "give me your pawns baby", and its a classic Yasser statement.
Haha yup
The presenter introduces Yasser before the second game
That definately sounds like Yasser Seirawan.
It's Yasser allright. This is back in '82. His voice was much softer before years of abuse damaged his throat.
dunno who is commenting but the way they do it seems so lame
so many things have changed since 1982, lol
This reminds me of ASMR.
if you enjoy ASMR and Chess...
yes its pure ASMR, awesome
Yes I love chess but this has knocked me out on more than one occasion.
Is that ASMR a good player? ... :)

The commentary is so relaxing
Karpov's bad hair day and Spassky is lightening a cigarette in public indoors. Those were the days beforev the sponsors took over.
I like the commentary ...so smooth and soft.
Came for the cigarette, stayed for the ASMR.
Later that night, Spassky filled in on guitar for a sick Keith Richards and no one was any the wiser
The opening music is crazy!
Imagine Magnus Carlsen lighting a cigarette if he blunders? :D
Nowadays, that would probably result in a shitstorm. People today are too hypersensitive in my view.

Thanks for posting I seem to remember the shows introduction from when I was a kid.
There should be a weekly chess show on British television.
Agreed. We had it in the 70s and 80s. BBC4 could cover it, or a BBC based online channel, on iPlayer.
Gotta love how Spassky shows up in street clothes smoking cigarettes during the game, while KGB golden boy Karpov is looking all prim and proper 😂
Both wear street clothes. If you want to talk about KGB look for another place
