The Master Game FINAL 1980 - GM Lothar Schmid (FDR) v GM Walter Browne (USA)

Presenting the prizes was Sir Stuart Milner-Barry KCVO CB OBE (1906-1995). He was a strong British chess player and a WW2 codebreaker working at Bletchley Park.

Thanks for sharing those games! From a time when chess was more valued.

Thank you for uploading these videos. It has been very enjoyable watching the games from this series.

Bill Hartson is up there alongside some of the best British commentators.....

Thanks so much for uploading these. Brings back childhood memories and the fornat is so insightful. Adore Browne's "off-duty maverick New York cop" style. Wonder who won their 5mins game at the end... and did they really take all the cash

Very interesting series with the players giving their thoughts

Nice one, Rob, I was hoping you'd have the final of this series 🙂 Thanks for all your uploads.

I am pleased for the winner as I seem to remember that he was the arbiter for the Fischer-Spassky World Championship match where the American gave him a hard time.

It's a shame this format has died out. I suppose now all the big tournaments are streamed live and players go straight into press conferences and then back to the hotel to prepare

Amazing. Thanks for sharing these. Do you have any episodes from prior series back into the 1970s??

[@inguh7041]

fantastic tactic, back and forth, nice!

Would love modern day Magnus' thoughts like this but WITH the opposing player who think they are surviving at the time.

Thanks for uploading Rob - do you have the previous series, the one Nigel Short won? I literally bumped into Nigel coming out of the loos at the Barbican in London during a speed chess challenge in the mid 90s - Kramnik was the star then - also saw Bill Hartston on the Northern line tube in the early 00s - the sum total of my chess celebrity encounters ;-)
