    15:50 "Typical Petrosian style saccing (sic) all his pieces". The joke was not lost on me, Ben.

    It's a shame that his most famous game is the one with the queen sac. Beginners are impressed my moves like that, but most good players can calculate forced mate in a couple of moves. What really makes Petrosian a special player are his positional sacrifices (mostly exchange sacrifices). His ability of evaluating imbalanced positions, as opposed to only calculating forced lines.

      The beginners are just philistines. Boo on the newbies for not understanding deep, complicated top-level positional ideas.

      Yes, his exchange sacs are pretty great and sound as well! Not just for attacking or winning the game strategically but also for conducting defense as well.

    Spassky once said that Korchnoi's style was to put his pieces on bad squares in the opening. Then he would put them on good squares in the middle game.

    Love Petrosian style, I find it harder to keep your position and defend from potential opponent attacks than try an attack and hope the opponent doesn't defend perfectly.

    Petrossian was never " Boring " ,that was part of his psychological chess style to empty
    the energy of his opponenets...He used to play draw 9 games and win the 10th game ;
    same Victory ! Chess is much more deeper than a todays sometimes show games . However i thank
    you for your modern and serious approach towards the boring '" Iron Tiger ". So , you've got a sport
    VISA to the USSR at that era ! Realy very chess passioned….Thanks and Gongrats.

    Is Tigran Petrosian named after the world champion or was he his son or something

    • @GraemeCree
      @GraemeCree 5 місяців тому

      Named after. There are actually more than two Tigran Petrosians in chess. There have been at least four of them on the FIDE lists at one time or another. The rumor is that Armenia is secretly breeding an army.

  • @justinstephenson9360
    @justinstephenson9360 5 років тому +1

    I am guessing the strongest Olympiad side would be around 1962 and for me would Petrosian (future world champion), Botvinnik (then WC), Tal (x-WC), Spassky (future WC), Smyslov (x-WC) and then maybe Bronstein (drew WC match) or Keres although their actual team was Botvinnik, Petrosian, Spassky, Keres, Geller, Tal (still rather impressive!!)

      Whites only check also repels the queen when the rook goes back down. Once it does that Rf6 is mate. Black would have to give the queen up, and white would soon mate anyway

      Lee Theo It's a joke, one of the hundreds in the average Finegold comedy routine/lecture. (And 'Disprove' isn't the same as 'discredit'. Maybe concentrate on learning, not teaching, English. 'Thank you')

      Discredit is a synonym of disprove. Please see www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/disprove. Thank you

      Lee Theo I don't know why I expected more from you. Sigh, ok. Ok, I read that page. There's a list of synonyms. That doesn't mean they all have the exactly same meaning, as you still seem to believe. Anyway, this is all beside the point, which is that you missed Ben's joke and tried to 'correct' it.
      Apply your quote to yourself. Oh but you aren't big enough, smart enough or strong enough. Ok bye, I've wasted too many words on you already. [Note to self: Don't waste time trying to help/correct twits on youtube/the internet!!] I don't know what you mean by that creepy 'thank you' tic of yours, but it sure isn't thank you.

    • @TheClassicWorld
      @TheClassicWorld 8 років тому

      yesenadam By the way, disprove does mean discredit, though not explicitly. But I think the former commenter was just giving a terse correction. And in this case, he did mean it in that context.
      Regardless, disprove is still not the opposite of improve. But rather: deteriorate, impair, wane, collapse.
