SeanGGodley, do you ever lose at this stage? LOL

[SeanGGodley]

I'm not sure what you mean!?

[indyk91]

have you ever played kingcrusher, a.k.a tryfon graviel?

[SeanGGodley]

Nope, we play on different sites. It would be fun to have a battle of the annotators, we could get Manju involved as well - I'd definitely be up for it!

Bobby Fischer's vision at the chess board was just out of this world. I'm a pretty good player and when I go over Bobby's games, many times I feel blind!

Love to see when "material players" getting smashed. Great commentary as always.

SCANDINAVIAN DEFENSE = FAIL

@jwheyer22 I actually just checked the position out on my version of Fritz (Fritz 10) and it gives white as having a pawn and a half's advantage, so perhaps SeanG was mistaken?

[jwheyer22]

@SuperMyfamily01 I was wondering that also....A computer would play much differently than a person and would not fall for obvious sacrifices... and such.

Another beautiful game followed by excellent commentary + development possibilities.

[SuperMyfamily01]

I find it amazing that Fritz assesses the position as equal at 5:45, since a couple of moves later, Addison is virtually lost! Is this a flaw in the way the computer assesses the position, or is the position salvagable with perfect play?

SeanG, I've seen a couple of your videos and have been very impressed with your style of presentation. You don't over-simplify or over-explain things, but you also take time to look into the main variations at critical junctures. I think others that make chess videos for YouTube could stand to learn a lot from you.

[SuperMyfamily01]

@gutsrace I really don't think it's appropriate in this instance to say Fischer played a "brilliant" game. I mean, yes he played well (offering the pawn in the opening and playing a couple of nice combinations), but I feel like a player much weaker than Fischer (perhaps even myself) could have found the very same moves that Fischer did. A weak opening and a materialistic approach from Addison meant that Fischer always had the initiative and was never under any pressure whatsoever.

@mukmin01 Okay. Thanks. I'll try and always remember that.

[mukmin01]

@guyNbluejeans lmao, but dont get confused, the winner is always fischer. thats all

[guyNbluejeans]

To show you what a moron I am, I can't even figure out which player is playing which color in these videos.:-(
