Good god ..I'm 14 moves in and terrified .. I don't know how this game ends up but the thought of playing this as white I would hate it! Thats why they are both champions and Im 1500 I guess ...

at 20:53 Walter said if 30.Qf4 then Re4 but white can just take the rook because the bishop on g6 is pinned by the rook on g3.

Great stuff Rob! Thanks for sharing this blast from the past! I’ve played in tournaments in the mid 80s with Wolf and Ilya (but never played them) my older buddy and sudo teacher a New England Life Master named Hal Terrie got beat up by both these young men several times as he watched them develop into young American Chess Superstars in the 80s. I’m gonna send him this link, it’s gonna make his day! Thanks again for sharing it. I hope you find more Gens like this and the other period chess stuff you’ve been posting on your channel. Cheers!

Jon Speelman - a wonderfully eccentric character as always. His game collection "Jon Speelman's Best Games" is a treasure trove of interesting chess. He definitely had a penchant for off-beat openings and double-edged positions. This was a tremendous period for British Chess with Nunn, Short, and Speelman all near the top of their respective games, and Michael Adams quickly rising through the ranks.

He did OK. Outlasted his nemesis GM Rustam Kasimdzhanov, and still plays professionally. Edit: I see Rustam still is in the 2700Chess site as active. I thought he was retired as a coach. About the same Elo as Adams; a few points higher at the moment.

You can't knock that introduction music! However, don't all us Sicilian players wish 2.c3 was a 'slightly unusual line'? I've never hear anyone say 'Yes' with an 'm' in it, 'Mmy'es' from Ray Keene a few times in the broadcast.

@shadowside8433 in 1987 2.c3 the Alpin Sicilian was still slightly unusual at the top level but I can tell you that at the club level at least in New York it was not so unusual at least as early as 1980.

A wonderful tribute to an indispensable thinker, writer, poet and presenter. Many thanks to Rob Clark for posting it. This tribute from 2001 was originally aired as part of the "Reputations" series in the beeb. It was recently repeated on BBC4 and even though I recorded it, my Sky box "Did a Beeching" and somehow ditched it! If anyone has a copy that they could send me on DVD I would love to be able to see it on a bigger screen.
