It bugs me when somebody is showing a game of champions, that they interject alternative moves "that the best in the world could have done". It is really confusing to understand----who is playing the game, and why the best in the world made those moves. Are you on coke?

Hi Levy, love your content! But I have to say, Korchnoi was previously involved in an even dirtier match - the candidates match with Boris Spassky. Again, there was a flags controversy, but the biggest issue was that Spassky decided to have another board, off to the side and to go and sit at that, only returning to the actual game board when he wanted to make a move. Understandably, this got Korchnoi really rattled. Letters were written to Max Euwe to try and intervene, the whole match got suspended while they found another venue, loads of unsportsmanly conduct happened... There's a really good book about it called Korchnoi vs Spassky: Chess Crisis, by Raymond Keane, who was a second for Korchnoi. It's probably out of print, but if you can get hold of it, it's gripping.

The communist party used their own ridiculous terminology, where 'communism' meant post-scarcity utopia. But we don't use their terminology. In 1978, there were plenty of socialist states which had nothing to do with communism, like Israel.

The sunglasses thing reminds me of Tal - Benko 1959. Pal Benko accused Mikhael Tal of hypnotizing him, and said that he would make sure to bring sunglasses to their next match. As Tal put it, "As is often the case when confronted with an innovation that the opponent knows about beforehand, his sunglasses were met by my counterstroke: my own pair of enormous, novelty sunglasses that I had picked up at a costume store before the game. I took mine off after a few moves, when the audience's laughter calmed down. Benko left his on, but unfortunately, it did not improve his position, and he resigned before the first time control."

Heck, even as a 1400 (chess.com, 1600 lichess), I've drawn games with two pawns up when I was low on time and blundered into a rook pawn-wrong colored bishop endgame or similar traps. It's a good topic to cover in a video- once someone has a specific process they can follow without having to work it out over the board, you won't draw any more games like that, even if you're low on time, because you just follow the process and don't have to think.

Korchnoi put on sunglasses because a guy named Dr. Zukhar was in the audience wearing outlandish sunglasses and staring at him. Korchnoi thought the guy ( who was there for the Soviet delegation ) was trying to hypnotize him so put on his own sunglasses. These type of tactics as well as Korchnoi’s family being held hostage in Russia made the match really unfair. The very close result might have been different otherwise

I remember this match well. At that time World Championship matches were so much more entertaining than today. I think computers destroyed a lot of the charm and magic chess had, when it was playrd by humans without the help of machines. And there were more original characters around. I like Karov playing 1.e4 a lot more than playing 1.d4.

I think it's better today because I don't want to see 32 games between the same 2 players. Imagine if in the NBA finals a team had to win 10 games. Nobody would watch that. I agree that computer prep has hurt classical chess in the sense it's almost impossible to suprise an opponent, but the format now is better. The going to blitz and then Armageddon game is a fantastic idea. I think the time is a little too much. 7 hrs 46 minutes is too long a game. It is impossible to watch the whole thing.
