Here we see Yasser in that somewhat awkward transitional phase between 70's era Harry Reems/slick middle eastern disco stud and the silky-voiced, clean cut, suave elder statesman of chess we so love today.
Yes! The 90's were indeed a magical time of leftover cool trends, such as allowing your kids out of the house, and new weird things like rap rock. eek.
Velcro might've made quite the audio. It appears their pieces have got pegs to go into pockets. It is amusingly arcane & laborious compared to other emulations..
i learnt 1 thing from this video ... i just do not understand chess! i play and place my pieces but not with a deeper understanding as to why i am doing what i am doing!
well i think they`re trying to say that computers do calculate objectively and essentially perfectly - but computers often don't understand deep, subtle positional plans/moves
Interesting what you are saying. At this point in time those Chess engines you mentioned rybka/fritz/Houdini/Stockfish/critter/Deep Shreder don't even need a super computer. It's being said that Deep Fritz "on a slow computer" has the same level that Deep Blue had (very optimized nowadays). So you can see why Laptops or i7 desktops are beating grandmasters. The reason to make engines stronger is mostly to fight each other. Kasparov said at google that computers are beating every player.
I think the issue here is that they're assuming the computer can be "confused" by strange moves. Whereas the computer is doing nothing but calculating "how many moves to win and how from this position" every single time.
I would like to know what kind of hardware configuration grandmasters have on their computers? CPU speed, 4G or 5G, RAM, storage space, motherboard and graphic card.
Maybe it's only because I don't know much about chess but it's surprising that somebody finds so many bad or even "disgusting" moves made by Kasparov and the program that beat Kasparov.
He was trying to get the computer out if its opening book. Because computers use opening "books" too. They aren't fast enough to compute perfect moves on the fly in the opening. They use precomputed moves at start, saving the time for mid game.
Kasparov said that IBM may have cheated, but if we are to go by the comments in the video, Kasparov committed several blunders that could have been avoided. So surely, some, if not all of the blame, lies on Kasparov's shoulders.
Computers are just perfect at calculating tactics, not at calculating the whole game from advance. But tactics are how chess is won and far more important compared to subtle long-term plans... Which is why no GM today would win against Rybka or sth. similar without a computer himself.
Computers have come a long way since the late 90s, haven't they! The whole face of chess has changed with the proliferation of chess engines. We wonder if Alpha Zero will be another change in how people study chess.
true but the computer also calculates the opponents moves and so if you place a tread the computer cant ignore but is easy to deal with and when you as a player then find a way to turn this into an advantege you "confuse" the computer. but ofcource the computer (if its a good one) calculates this too ect ect. so in the end it kind of dependes on the intelligents of the computer if your able to confuse it. just like with people :)
Fucking annoying commentary, we don't need the camera constantly directed at the commentators it's about chess not the commentators, keep it on the board.
No. You win, if the game is knowing about chess. I maintain my opinion that this guy's language is disrespectful when talking about a man whose name transcends the game he plays. Or any fellow sportsman, actually. And I think it's ever more the case when he's talking about the world's premier player, at the time.
Yasser writes some great books, BUT he's no Kasparov! "...so let's say the computer makes two bad moves..." What?! LOL All to justify why Garry didn't play h3!? Huh?! Terrible! The whole concept of the Nf3 Knight "MUST clear the way" for the d5 square, jumping to d2, then to e4; or Ne1, to c2, e4, to d5 is preposterous! No need, no time, no way! I like Yasser, and granted this is an older game with the infancy of chess engines, but some of his analysis is innacurate. Ng5 was a good idea though.
lol...this Yasser guy comes across as rather arrogant. the way he goes on about disgusting movements from Kasparov is a bit much, and then giving an example supposing the computer would make 2 bad moves is a bit stupid. why even attempt at giving examples expecting 2 bad moves from the computer so early in game? idiotic comments from this sniveling snake. this video is more about how much this creep hates Kasparov and trying to promote himself, rather than giving a good and objective commentary on the game itself.
Seirawan had a rating of around 2650 in his prime: top 100 in the world. He's an extremely qualified commentator. He's actually a really humble guy too, especially in comparison to Kasparov. Do a smidgen of research before you call a respected grandmaster a "sniveling snake".
Matthew wroblewski lol... u are a simple minded fool who looks up to titles and is impressed with everything shiny. i dont need to do a research and believe in words when i can have the man on video showing first hand what kind of person he is. i couldn't care less if his rating was 26000. i will be my own judge on a mans character. qualification is not my concern. and the humbleness u talk about must be imagined, cause i see the exact opposite.
Sure, I'm the fool--just working on my masters in mathematical psychology. And of course I don't know what I'm talking about, I've only taken chess lessons with Yasser personally @ STL chess club; I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about. imbecile
Matthew wroblewski haha.. so what about your education!? u could be working on your triple rocket science masters for all i care. :)) the fact that u even bring up your credentials shows a weak character and how u reason. that u deem your education as a value and an asset for this discussion, when it has no relation whatsoever, tells me your basic priorities are all messed up! u are a conceited snob...just as Yasser is...hehehe. and that's why u are attracted to him. because u two are the same. their is no contradiction of mentality. flaunting your credentials around in a silly discussion like this, shows that u have a juvenile mind. u are going to be a lousy psychologist if u need to draw attention to yourself and your title every time someone says "boo!" ...im glad u brought your education up...imbecile twat. cheers friendo...:))
Here we see Yasser in that somewhat awkward transitional phase between 70's era Harry Reems/slick middle eastern disco stud and the silky-voiced, clean cut, suave elder statesman of chess we so love today.
omg I laughed so much
It's not easy becoming the Stuart Smalley of chess.
Yes! The 90's were indeed a magical time of leftover cool trends, such as allowing your kids out of the house, and new weird things like rap rock. eek.
I love his use of the word "disgusted"
'Computers have evolved a lot in the last 20 years'
'Lets use sticky back velcro to demonstrate the remake animations.'
Velcro might've made quite the audio. It appears their pieces have got pegs to go into pockets. It is amusingly arcane & laborious compared to other emulations..
Young Yasser was savage
"The computer should be very happy." - They don't experience happiness... yet.
They should be awarded with more ram and cooling fans😂😂😂
C3PO: "You are very much mistaken, me and R2D2 do feel happiness, right R2D2?"
R2D2: "Beep boop boop budgie sounds"
State of the art graphics !!!
What an excellent commentary!
Nice video! Question: How is it 'real time' if the analysis is being conducted much after the game?
XD
Yasser is a Legend
i learnt 1 thing from this video ... i just do not understand chess! i play and place my pieces but not with a deeper understanding as to why i am doing what i am doing!
you need to base your moves on judgment and planning
Ah, yes. The days before Skynet, when humans could say 'The computer, the world's most powerful, clearly made a mistake'
Never thought that Yasser was a young man sometime ago.

Thank you for the upload
Nice video. Hope to see more of this. It's a really interesting series :)
Thanks for posting this interesting part of chess history.
You're welcome!
well i think they`re trying to say that computers do calculate objectively and essentially perfectly - but computers often don't understand deep, subtle positional plans/moves
he looks a little like Borat here!
+Seymore Butts hahahaha
+Seymore Butts ROTFL
Ahah true! There was no Borat when I saw that video back then :) I like!
He looks a bit like JD from Scrubs merged with Borat even! X'D
And perhaps, Quentin Tarantino?
A lot of computer games I have seen seem to end up in rook/knight, queen/knight or rook/bishop endgames - all of which require calculation
at 16:14 you KNOW this guy is killer with the ladies.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahah
so many hilaruios comments hahahah
bruh
Seirawan looks so different here than he does now. Hardly recognizable.
Interesting what you are saying. At this point in time those Chess engines you mentioned rybka/fritz/Houdini/Stockfish/critter/Deep Shreder don't even need a super computer. It's being said that Deep Fritz "on a slow computer" has the same level that Deep Blue had (very optimized nowadays). So you can see why Laptops or i7 desktops are beating grandmasters.

i get the same feeling when i try to play against the latest rybka/fritz/etc.. - they just dont miss ANYTHING!!
thanks for the upload :)
I would like to know what kind of hardware configuration grandmasters have on their computers? CPU speed, 4G or 5G, RAM, storage space, motherboard and graphic card.
Indeed. The commentator makes it sound so simple.
just sent for you Joel - cheers, will

d3 is very unkasparovian
how in the world did yasser's accent go from normal in this video to the meditative guru's accent he tries to pass off as natural these days???
lol
He was trying to get the computer out if its opening book. Because computers use opening "books" too. They aren't fast enough to compute perfect moves on the fly in the opening. They use precomputed moves at start, saving the time for mid game.
Cool, I will pick you up on that one! :)
This is the last free preview video, if you want the full series I can give you a 50% off coupon just shoot me a PM. Thanks
Kasparov said that IBM may have cheated, but if we are to go by the comments in the video, Kasparov committed several blunders that could have been avoided. So surely, some, if not all of the blame, lies on Kasparov's shoulders.
everything start with this game
Who is Seirawan's fellow analyst in the video?
Hi! It's GM Ron Henley from the United States!
Yasser Seirawan looking good
Like a boss!
This video looks very interesting! Im thinking of buying it! How much is it?
Computers are just perfect at calculating tactics, not at calculating the whole game from advance. But tactics are how chess is won and far more important compared to subtle long-term plans... Which is why no GM today would win against Rybka or sth. similar without a computer himself.
"No, in fact I was disgusted by the move." LUL
deep blue plays like such a chump compared to the computers we have nowadays lol, especially with with the new Alpha Zero
Computers have come a long way since the late 90s, haven't they! The whole face of chess has changed with the proliferation of chess engines. We wonder if Alpha Zero will be another change in how people study chess.
Right... now show me Gary commentating one of Yasser's games ^_^.
by the way houdini often doesn't agree with Yasser's opinions.
Yasser tho
White should try to mirror blues moves!! What a riot!!!!
This game looks so defensive , it looks as if the computer was trailing kasparov's moves rather than attacking .
Is that Alan Harper?
Bamboozle
true but the computer also calculates the opponents moves and so if you place a tread the computer cant ignore but is easy to deal with and when you as a player then find a way to turn this into an advantege you "confuse" the computer. but ofcource the computer (if its a good one) calculates this too ect ect. so in the end it kind of dependes on the intelligents of the computer if your able to confuse it. just like with people :)
Qd7 simple give bishop pair engineis weak if Bf5 e4 tempo c4 d3 e4 pawn formation
Disgusted by that move I actually loled
you should know that at this time the computers were not so strong then today. So saying that the computer makes a mistake is not legitim from yasser
Yasser is analyzing a chess game. I don't understand why Yasser can't mention a mistake from the computer
I mean it is legitim ;)
Even todays engines make mistakes.
Why are Freddy Mercury and Woody Harrelson commentating a chess game?
Fischer would have made this Deep Blue look like a Deep Fool.
now try that with stockfish.....
Yes! Modern engines are more well prepared than was deep blue
nakamura tried it but with help of another engine
the guy on the right looks like Ronan Keating.
a woody harrelson clone that guy on the right

Oh my god what is Chandler Bing doing here!!!!
hahaha lol
this makes boxing boring!
Oh god the tash yasser the tash ahhhhh my eyes.
+Max Pheby hahaha! a younger Yasser!
LOL @ 12:50. "Remember Yasser, the king needs to be on h8." Pfft.
Yasser so yong :D
+Baiba Kreiere Time flies!
He reminded me of Freddie Mercury
good deal - just your messages, I just sent over the coupon code. cheers, will
That is way too simplistic.
And let's not forget that in 1997 TVs had not been invented yet which is why the commentators had to rely on a good old ugly ass paper board.
melomaniakjm ummm TVs were definitely invented already by the 80's
And do you know when irony was invented?
No A4 king. Oh!?
if all the moves are disgusting mybe he should play...give me a break
this funny! i dont know how to send a PM! send me on!
I'm sorry, but I really really dont like the commentator without the mustache, I dont want to sound mean, but his accent/ lisp is bugging me
Doubly
lo... the expert pronounces fianchetto wrong... what an expert. ;)
He used the English pronunciation.
Matthew wroblewski you'd like that wouldn't u...lol
Fucking annoying commentary, we don't need the camera constantly directed at the commentators it's about chess not the commentators, keep it on the board.
I am here to see how Seirawan looked like in his younger days
arthritismutilans
LOL, fair enough, I came to watch the chess thought, difficult to follow when it keeps cutting to the commentators.
NOT! LOL
If Selrawan ever got a rating like Kasparov or beats the top computer he can call moves "disgusting". Before then, its disrespectful
He's beaten Kasparov
No. You win, if the game is knowing about chess. I maintain my opinion that this guy's language is disrespectful when talking about a man whose name transcends the game he plays. Or any fellow sportsman, actually. And I think it's ever more the case when he's talking about the world's premier player, at the time.
We don't want to see their faces and facial expressions. It's so aggravating. Filmmakers are always to make a cinematic masterpiece.
This Yassar fool is bad mouthing both Kasparov and Deep Blue on quite a few occasions. I'd like to see him play either.
He can actually hold his ground against Kasparov
+Nick Schmader Here is an example from 1986 in Dubai...guess who won..www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1070204
This host is always trying so hard.
Yasser writes some great books, BUT he's no Kasparov! "...so let's say the computer makes two bad moves..." What?! LOL All to justify why Garry didn't play h3!? Huh?! Terrible! The whole concept of the Nf3 Knight "MUST clear the way" for the d5 square, jumping to d2, then to e4; or Ne1, to c2, e4, to d5 is preposterous! No need, no time, no way! I like Yasser, and granted this is an older game with the infancy of chess engines, but some of his analysis is innacurate. Ng5 was a good idea though.
It's a common method used by analysts to illustrate an idea.
Disgusted. Lol.
I wonder if Yasser has any idea how he got blasted in this vids comment section lol
+FreakEating I highly doubt he cares what people on youtube are saying about him.
lol...this Yasser guy comes across as rather arrogant. the way he goes on about disgusting movements from Kasparov is a bit much, and then giving an example supposing the computer would make 2 bad moves is a bit stupid. why even attempt at giving examples expecting 2 bad moves from the computer so early in game?
