These great player series are just excellent, smashing commentary, and filled with wit2dimwit lore. Ben is so under-rated!
It should also be noted that he won this Gold Medal among Board 1-players with 84.4 % win ratio ! AHEAD ! of Tal and Fischer (73.3 % &
72.2 %), not an easy thing to do I reckon... His individual percentage was also higher than Botvinnik's and Keres', who both scored 80.8% on boards 2 and 3. Pretty darn impressive. - Thank you Mr. Finegold for this lecture, and thanks of course to the sponsor! PS: the pronunciation is fine, you just forgot about the 't' - think of 'Ch'attanooga 'Ch'oo-'Ch'oo, so its 'Ro-baTsch, same as in 'chase' or 'chat'
The finest of golds
Steinitz is technically Austrian (even though he was born in Prague) so not sure Robatsch was the strongest Austrian Player in history but he was an outstanding player! Great to see a lecture on a fellow Austrian!
Also, wasn't Schlecter Austrian
@@klodm.2064 he was, and don't forget Ernst Grünfeld was Austrian too... and btw Vlastimil Jansa (much later) won the World Senior Championship
CORRECTING Ben 😮😮😮😮
INCORRECT!!!
@rumpi0001 when the austrian-hungarian empire still existed all the people of the mainlands especially czech, slovakia, hungary were and felt like austrians since they lived together for several hunderets of years. it was their nationality.
eliskases was pretty good. same level as robatsch but not as tactical
Love this series. Go Ben!
Thankyou for your lectures!
You are a smart guy, and I love your quirky sense of humour!
30:40 was the ultimate "the truth hurts" moment lol^
Great games, and with Ben's presentation even more great as always, go Ben, thank you sponsor, great choice!
Thanks for the lecture! Would be nice if you made a lecture about Karpov :)
these lectures are the best
Thanks Ben and thanks Martin for sponsoring.
Thanks for the video. Carlos Torre, Mecking and Panno next, please.
I believe all the lectures in this series are sponsored by individual fans who get to pick the player.
I miss you, Papa! 🙏✨
Yo that first game was tactically outstanding
It used to be that 1. P-K4 P-Q3 was the Pirc Defense, and 1. P-K4 P-KN3 was the Robatsch Defense. But for a while books combined the two and called them both the "Pirc Robatsch Defense". Somewhere along the way that went away, and the Pirc is just the Pirc again. You never hear it called the Pirc Robatsch in modern books.
Awesome Ben thanks ! I will sponsor a lecture on GM Boris Alterman next pay ASAP thanks
Surprised never done a video on lajos portisch
Let’s go Ben
Wang Chung! That tied me up in knots.
Hertneck appears to have been about 2600 in 1995, it is always strange to see someone that strength get tactically crushed
Hi Atlanta !!As usual our descendant number one we love of the great pirate (not micha Tal which was also one of the chessboard )but benjamin hornigold....??(i like the very speaking face of ben when he doubts)another treasure from ages,not from carabeeans that Robatsch tactics games :a sweet "douceur qui fond sur la langue "
Wut
14:30 I'm not 2000 and from Ben's preamble I saw: Nxd5, cxd5, Bxc3, Qd2, resigns. (Assuming that's the variation, I'm not there in the video yet) Certainly a GM can see what I can see.
"He's in Wang Chun" Lmao 40:00
I was hertneck after a fender-bender gave me whiplash
05:25 that was magnus carlsen who said that
The game Connect 4 came out six years before the game Robatsch--Jansa, as shown in the video, was played.
why is that unusual? Lots of chess grandmasters study botvinnik
@22:31 after ...Bxf6, isn't Qxe4 just unstoppable mate in 2?
Well, sort of. I think that is better than what Ben gave as analysis, but after …Nf5 Qxf5 black can play …Qxd3. Obviously losing, but maybe the computer prefers Ben’s variation for some reason, but no doubt white is winning in either variation.
29:45 What about Rf5? Saving the rook, attacking the queen, and if Qg8 there's Rf8 protected by the bishop
Qe8 will be mate
@@mgsxx oh right
So apparently Ben wouldn’t be embarrassed if he missed pawn takes queen. Very suspicious. 🤔
Weird you didn't mention Botvinnik, who was also like a doctor of computer science.
Also an electrical engineer
About orchids I only know that the name means "testicles" in Greek. But in chess I am equally knowledgeable!
Qd2 is filthy
14:11 not gonna lie, I would also have played Nxd5
21:15 I was thinking f6 because it reminds me of Fischer-Benko with Rf6
Who doesn't have a good Vlastimil Jansa story?
It was Carlsen, not Kasparov, who said Nunn was too intelligent to become world chess champion.
go me, I was only wrong half the time, better than usual
You can edit Wikipedia, you know.
