- Grandmaster Ben Finegold profiles the father of Armenian chess, Tigran Petrosian. One game is shown from each decade in which "Iron Tigran" competed. This lecture is a followup to the one Akobian gave earlier in 2015.
Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian vs Viktor Korchnoi, Leningrad (1946): A40 Queen's pawn
Petrosian vs Ludek Pachman, Bled (1961): A04 Reti opening
Petrosian vs Egor Chukaev, Lithuanian Championship (1951): A46 Queen's pawn, Torre attack
Petrosian vs Robert James Fischer, Fischer - Petrosian Candidates Final (1971): D82 Gruenfeld, 4.Bf4
Jan Timman vs Petrosian, Las Palmas Interzonal (1982): D16 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav, Steiner variation
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.
Huge fan of the late GM Petrosian. Thanks for posting this clip!
I really like Petrosian's games, his moves tend to make a lot of sense to me
Super great lecture Ben! You're the best! I was obsessed about Tigran Petrosian for today's studies myself. Crazy good player
"I've been kicked out of better places"
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.
Thank you
Ben you are the greatest!!
That whole Vegas bit - Finegold teaching a goddamn improv class.
Do people show up at the lecture and ask where the guy in the suit is?
5:31 It is actually Thursday today so his question made sense to some people at home :)
Victor Korchnoi died on the 6th of June 2016.
Rip kroschnoi
12:31 The game is Navara-Wojtaszek from Biel 2015
I love how this video popped up today, the day he was born 93 years ago.
The Alchemist Tigran Petrisian!
Excellent effort pronouncing Petrossian with an Armenian accent, but you kept reverting back to American and it hurt my ears! :)
Finegold, you cursed korchnoi!
no kidding!!
first time Ben has made me chuckle.
The Mathematician Henry Edward Bird
My fav teacher is ben finegold because he is funny
anyone notice that @ 4:17 that knight taking is a blunder as its a wrong move..it give black queen takes E2....am i missing somethign?? would she be trapped?
Did the director introduce Tigran as a a renown and legendary chess celebrity? Did he effusively compliment him on his unusual, and virtually preternatural, youthful appearance?
I believe so
Always zwischenzug
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.
where can I find Part One ?
What chess program do you use for these lectures?
Chessbase
I enjoyed the game wherein "Iron" Tigran beat Pal Benko on the White side of the Leningrad Nimzo Indian in Bled.
Is Tigran Petrosian named after the world champion or was he his son or something
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.
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!!)
36:22 what about Knight to D3 ? :D
I would've preferred those 80 move wins. :/ I guess I'm just strange.
Jacob Tarallo At least one of them anyway
Jacob Tarallo shakes head. terrible.
Jessica Crawford Horrible.
No I am like u i also thought I am the only one who like those kind of games
Rook h5 checkmate? Am I missing something
Love me some Petrosian. I dont think you all have done a legends on Botvinnik. Whattya say?
I'd love to see Petrosian's first win over Botvinnik in the World Championship from '63. Petrosian goes on a King walk for the win.
28:22 Can someone explain why Fischer (black) resigns in this position?
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
"what's tomorrow? friday?" and tomorrow is friday :o
@ ~7:59, why not Rd7?
Qc6 followed by e6 looks crushing
Black has what kind of pawn? A passed and isolated
ben finegold is hilarious
5:20 why doesn't black di play queen takes on E2?
Actually Qxe2 loses to BF3. The queen gets trapped
Actually Qxe2 loses to BF3. The queen gets trapped
Korchnoi lived almost a year past when this video was made.
1:06 come on Ben
"What is tomorrow? Friday?"
Me: yes
"Not for you at home, you wouldn't understand"
Me: ah sorry
Rawr
but tomorrow IS Friday. lol
Petrosian died *more than 30* years before the recording.
Guess we finally found out why armenia wins all those Olympiads
14:49 and 14:51 is a greek gift possible???
No, there isn’t a white pawn on e5.
Never play f6.
Robert Keir knife f5
Always play Kb1/Bf1/Bf8.
C4 is explosive
Always repeat
35:05
A large sac leads to mating
Control "Who?"
But would Tigran the Tiger have ever become World Champion if the Soviets had not fixed world chess at Curaçao?
Would any russian ever have become world champion without the Soviets¿¡
@@lukemarks3281 Alekhine?
dear dear fine gold,
still the questions and answers yes, from the class are inaudible
...still, I am starting to understand; just how 'good' you are.
You're as good as me but for the mistakes :)
thanks for posting
At 1min - you mean regress or decline not "disproved" . Disprove is not an antonym of improve. Disprove = discredit.
Thank you
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')
yesenadam
Discredit is a synonym of disprove. Please see www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/disprove. Thank you
"“A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.” John C. Maxwell"
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.
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.
Coory good packing fudge since 1985
Game 2, queen E6 is mate
uRa kO0K Ina koolWAY funnieMAN (_-O-_) HA HA ...........PecE
Actually Petrossian died 30 years ago :)
CutlerBeckett90 I think the story was from 20 years ago. :)
CutlerBeckett90 Fuck your passive-aggressive smiley faces :)
Ian Qualia HAHAHAHA. This comment is just amazing. Very witty.
