GM Yasser Seirawan BANTER BLITZ #3 | Chessbrah SELECT

[@qqw743]

Yasser and Eric are a hilarious comedy duo. You've got the old gentle anecdote-spinning master and the lightning fast trash talking wunderkid hanging out telling chess stories and banter blitzing. It's like watching Yoda and Deadpool play cribbage in a thunderstorm. The people need more.

this was an enjoyable comment

Watching Yass play is, although a rare one, a pretty valuable treat. TY Eric for making that happn!

[@Synecdoche09]

22:53 is where Yasser takes the human response to shift the blame, but being aware of how to improve he turns the question around on himself and explains how to avoid the situation. Immaculate.

[@ambazzadore8197]

"I like your position, I just don't like your attitude." lol. Hansen, the wise player of old, rebuking the young prodigious Seirawan.

[@williameckert306]

I love Yasser! A true delight to the chess world! A gentleman and a scholar!

[@mils0r]

better than bob ross! I really appreciate what all of you guys are trying to do, as a beginner I find your channel on youtube and twitch the best learning resource, along with the stlouis chess club channel. I think I get happier from donations than you guys do, hoping you won't give up before you will be very successful through all your work!

[@chessartst1339]

Yasser is such a great person but he gave me anxiety watching him move so slowly . Either way it's great to see this legend

[@liamsavage1468]

I really enjoyed watching this. And appreciate Yassers perspective on older chess players with having a more 'acute' perspective on the world around them.

[@teo5146]

Those short audio gifs are truly annoying. Otherwise, I love watching Yasser play. Agree it should have been with an increment. Perhaps 5/5 would have been awesome for him. Also, as a treat, I somehow enjoyed seeing him curse, it was unexpected!

[@willlacey7621]

Man! I wish I found you guys years ago. It’s been so enjoyable learning from and watching you guys this year!

[@YankeesHiro]

Did Eric say "I like your position but not your attitude" around 6:42?

[@surreptitiouswritings]

that shit had me dying. so fucking funny.

[@mcpartridgeboy]

the first true international chess elite star playing live blitz this is the shit ! nice one chessbrah !

[@ch2263]

mcpartridgeboy Peter Svidler does it as well

[@SaintD382]

Hansen is currently ranked 165th in the world. His 2617 rating (blitz 2578) makes him a pretty strong GM, but not what is usually called an "elite" player.

[@platitudeomenw441]

I don't think he's the first chess elite star. Bobby Fischer was very famous.

[@thelunes6549]

I think that anyone who wants to get into chess, and really wants to enjoy it, should probably watch Seirawan's lectures and watch him play chess. I doubt there is a person alive who loves the game as much as he does.

[@mholiveira7]

GIVE THAT MAN HIS OWN CHANNEL

[@surreptitiouswritings]

this is one of the best chessbrah vids. for real keep doing them. theyre so fucking rad.

[@alfredfx0]

Yasser is such an awsome man, i would

eric was doing some yasser and chill

[@dr.funkenstein9790]

I’m so happy Yasser mentioned 7 Samurai. It’s such a fantastic film!

[@jameslabetti762]

yasser is the yoda of chess, me think

[@misanthrop1958]

Unbelievable how fast these guys are in seeing tactical combos. Yasser was contemplating to take the pawn on e5 at 2:12 . Hansen saw that it was possible in a second. It took me 10 minutes to understand it AFTER they had explained it. I am an average player, my chess.com rapid rating is at around 1600. I will not improve at my age anymore (59), but I like to watch these brain giants just for entertainment.

[@postnubilaphoebus96]

The perspective changes rather quickly if you move up the rating ladder. I'm just a 2000 FIDE player but I thought it was a rather straightforward tactic. Visualizing the line might take one or two minutes, but then I'd be quite confident about my assessment. I'm pretty sure you could improve your game by the way; you're not too old. Just play some chess tournaments in a row and accompany that by chess training.

[@dariusduesentrieb]

@@postnubilaphoebus96 the tactic you are referring to is it that somewhere between the captures you take his rook with your rook so the queen has to take?

[@postnubilaphoebus96]

@@dariusduesentrieb Ich rede von 1.Sxe5 Lxe5 2.Txf8+ (2. ... Dxf8 3.Lxe5+ Sxe5 4.Dxe5+ +-; 2. ... Sxf8 3.Lxe5+ Kg8 und Weiß kontrolliert die schwarzen Felder zu stark) Kg7 und nun wahlweise 3.Tef1 oder 3.Tf5. In der Partie kam ja die andere Variante

[@dariusduesentrieb]

@@postnubilaphoebus96 oh ok, ich hab nur an den einen Bauern gedacht :P

[@seanunderscorepry]

this is wholesome as shit !!! love watching Yasser play banter blitz

[@drewmurray6545]

I love watching yasser play. It’s great to hear his thoughts without being distracted by a pretty lady on botez or trash talking etc lol - helps learn I feel : ) idk what the views are like but I enjoy the occasional slower learning chance with this format

[@code3paris]

YASSER!!!!! :)

[@attrix09]

Yasser definitely causes some laughter outbursts! Chessbrah has some great characters in their crew!

[@brandonguthrie2151]

I love these videos. Yasser moves so slow, it cracks me up.

[@AHBarry]

The thumbnail kills me

[@zendokai1527]

CAME TO SEE THE BOB ROSS THUMBAIL WITH YASSER'S FACE. LOL LIKED, GOT WHAT I WANTED

[@vitordasilvasantos6919]

Do more of theses Seirawan, pleasee!

[@robdubent]

I’m laughing so hard when gasser gets into time trouble! Oh no not again!! What a nice and uniquely funny guy

[@maxpower789z]

Sumurai movies lol...love Yasser and Chessbrah! Lone Wolf and Cub is a great series...the original is known as Shogun Assassin in the west

[@raulmoura2480]

Greate video. I know it is an old video but the thumbnail made Yasser look a lot with Reginaldo Rossi. A Brazilian singer that sings depressing songs lol. Couldn’t help commenting.

[@tolveor]

really enjoyed this video. many thanks to yass for playing. cheers from norway :)

[@SK-fr9xp]

they should get Maurice on the show with his brooklyn trash talking lol. but please no "pushup" contests!

[@REMOnZter]

Yasser is so slow! Gives me such anxiety, gotta teach him some of that chessbrah speed Eric!

[@Guankabun]

Clicked immediately when I saw the thumbnail

[@drewmurray6545]

WE LOVE YASSER! More Yasser!

[@SK-fr9xp]

Wow. when did this happen? this is awesome

[@WilliamLeeDaPianist]

19:25 was that Le Quang Liem, a Vietnamese chess GM, who was playing with the white pieces?

[@therottenrook]

I love Yasser...!!! Perfect gentlemen and fantastic chess player. Would love to have a drink and play a game with him.

[@chassetriel]

haven't watched it yet but thumbnail had me shook

2:50 is so funny with his hand. he cooked

I love Yasser. :)

Play very well Yasser!! Comeback in the future in Holland!! Max Eeuwe building! Maybe hi! Ciaoo and thnx Eric too!

[@vincentradix8257]

Where was this taken? The trains story makes me think in the Netherlands.

[@aparetix]

Seirawan "Lets make Chess great again!"

[@serenitydream303]

At 15:50 taking the pawn with the bishop on D4 is a good move right? Or am I missing something..

[@mehmetsaniyldrm671]

It's been 2 years but bishop takes does not loose the queen q

[@darrenwalters9886]

What we have here is a failure to communicate

[@furiosoRIOT]

+1 yasser audio lecture + maybe pdf/pgn downloadable

I wish yasser / this vid had so much more likes!

Jajajajaa that thumbnail is awesome.

Push 'em baby.

[@solfeinberg437]

9:20 or so: I don't understand why they play so fast. Wouldn't you want to think about your moves; prepare them in some fashion.

[@DRD363]

go yasser!!

[@ryanwallace7910]

2:16:40 when Yasser flips me off like he is in a gang

[@bmetal2]

Yasser is the best!!

This video made me buy chips. Chips company, you should send some money to Eric now.

[@DRD363]

go yasser.!

[@mesaber86]

2:16:40 epic moment with that finger :D

[@gregwh2000]

Go get em Yaz!

[@mikahelgoncalves8697]

What is the gambit that Yasser is talking about in 2:01:08 ?

[@ericgabler995]

I think he talks about the benko gambit. It really gives black a great structure, is kind of sound and offers him rich play.

[@svenpoelmans3688]

Came here for this

[@BecauseYoureWrong]

Cannot even begin to tell you listening to Eric eating what sounded like tin foil for several minutes was the fucking highlight of watching what would have otherwise been a cool video. Seriously, were you raised by wolves?

[@YelloChennai]

Is Yasser belongs to family of Chess brah ?

[@kentcen9924]

isn't it not allowed to play on someone else's account?

[@vallarralde9982]

I am enjoying these videos but have the same question. Are these matches pre arranged? Or is it technically cheating? If I found out later I was playing him I would be honored but some might be upset?

[@surreptitiouswritings]

The chessbrah profile makes it known that theyre 'team' of players.

[@chri2453]

I wish Yasser was playing in my kitchen.

[@davidkvatadze5388]

he just can't talk and play that's all

[@rustammayk7772]

haha 2 super star guys))

[@Cruz0e]

once a CM (a friend of our family) was playing chess with everyone of us at a party... I didn't play first... I waited for the occasion that night... waited until he get very drunk ... then I matched him , he was so drunk, at one point he wanted to move with my bishop, he thought it was his bishop.. then when I won he wanted rematch I never let him :D so 1:0 to me:D had to be frustrating:D

[@Cruz0e]

I think he was CM anyway he had like 2280 elo rating:)

[@FatalxClouds]

Woooo
