Brian Wall is back for his fourth video! Brian's pet opening, the fishing pole, was played against GM Walter Browne by Francisco Baltier. Baltier has a habit of quoting Rambo when talking about his games so it was only natural to make this video with scenes from the movie Frist Blood.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnN9mqed3l0 is a video of the game and Walter's reaction when playing Re1.

Produced, Directed and Edited by Chris Peterson

  • @ 6:40 you say, "in a hopeless position...Walter Brown made the best move." I'm no GM, so I could certainly be wrong, but I can't find a forced mate for black after white plays 16. Nf4. What am I missing?

  • @recoyle seems to me either 16...g5 or 16...e5 are easily winning

  • I've never heard this much gloating in a chess video before.

  • @slavdef you should read his emails

  • why can't the white queen take the horse on D4 at 4:49?

  • @Tutterkop its protected by the peek-a-boo bishop on a7

  • Your missing the point.Thats with rly rly perfect play.People almost never play perfect.Even at grandmaster play mistakes happen (albeit less often and they also play perfect moves).Its just worth it (your playing your preparation against his)

  • this video becomes really useful, i really loved to play the fishing pole and i actually defeated the junior panamerican champion on a simul. with this amazing combination

see all

  • This opening is useless since I play computers.

  • @recoyle After Nf4, e5! pushes off the knight. Even if Be6, exf4, Bxd7, Bxd7, the dangerous threat still exists in Bh3-Bg2, and Rh1#, even if defended (I’m not sure it can be…) white would have tremendous sacrifice.

  • lmao, this line sucks, after ng4, its just met with d3, followed by Bg5, good game Black.

  • very unique review i like it so poetic! xD

  • I'm new at chess, I mean super new, like 5 days new and I was able to completely follow and understand all of the moves. You did a really good job of making this interesting and fun to watch & learn. Thanks for the all the work you put into this. :-)

  • I'm going fishing from now on as black! :)
