Thanks for the interpretation. Petrosian's strength lay in his complete understanding of the main issue of the chess game, which was overlooked by many grandmasters, even champions. That is why he could see the game from the very beginning and move in the right direction, and not just necessarily win, which is what 99 percent of chess players strive for. Well done...

[@PeterWhite-q1k]

Excellent analysis of Petrosian= I agree 100%

[@FischerFan-cw7rg]

Yo Dawg! More excellent stuff! Tigran did make chess look so easy sometimes! He plays so "simply", someone said that of Bobby also at one point. So 6-0 vs Taminov, 6-0 vs Larsen is ridiculous and epic, but 6-1/2 - 2-1/2 vs the Iron Tiger Petrosian could actually have been even more impressive!! In 1972, Bobby was a chess bulldozer the likes of which had never been seen before and I think would still be a force to be dealt with even today. All due respect to Gary and Magnus! (Wow, what a match either of those pairings would be!) We are privileged to have seen and see them all!!

You have a voice for radio and a face for television.

Thank you for your kind words.

[@happyhornet1000]

For anyone who wants to learn positional chess Petrosian's games are the ones to study. Great video and well explained.

[@luisrivera8211]

Awesome i had the privilege and honor of playing Pilnik great job as alway's thanks so much Dawg!!

[@uthoshantm]

Impressive game by Petrosian. He never allowed any counterplay. Thanks for the excellent commentary!

[@MartinZanichelli]

I don´t allow it either, but they counterplay anyway, you know people, how stubborn they can get..........

[@MartinZanichelli]

More Petrosian matches, please John. They are easy to understand, or matches from Ulf Andersson as well.

[@Faz99Master]

One of the best analysis I’ve come across. A great and easier to understand example for a lower rated player like myself. It unlocks a great deal of strategic concepts.

[@michelpetrus]

You really succeeded at making us understand how beautiful is this Petrosian game.

[@TheFlorencepass]

Ciao! Very well presented and giving the right glory to great champions of the Pre-Engine Era. Thank you, it is a true pleasure to watch at the games you select and present. Excellent.

[@guksungan1267]

Love your straight to the point commentary and analysis. Finally someone who does not stoop down to crack unnecessary jokes for viewership. Please keep at it!

[@MartinZanichelli]

Hello from Argentina! Herman Pilnik was one of our best players, like Miguel Najdorf, Bent Larsen, Roberto Grau, and Oscar Panno, etc

[@Tod_oMal]

Bent Larsen?

[@MartinZanichelli]

@@Tod_oMal Bent Larsen moved to Argentina and acquired citizenship. He played tournaments in Villa Ballester chess club. All our people has an immigrant background, so we cannot consider them as foreigners,

[@Tod_oMal]

@@MartinZanichelli ok

[@diogoribeiro3462]

Great video and channel! Hopefully you will keep releasing more videos!

[@luisrivera8211]

[@developer1133]

the best analyze and the best voice controll and the best chess content creator i ever feel - TNX man

[@PeterWhite-q1k]

Happy subscriber here! Thanks for this. It brought me back to when I first started playing chess in the early 1960s when the long reigning world champion, Bottvinik was having troubles with Tal then Petrosian. I loved Petrosian games because of his defense (the Iron Tiger!). Sadly, Petrosian moved down my list of favorites as Fischer ascended because of how quick Petrosian went for draws with white or black and Fischer went for victories instead of draws. This is not to overly criticize Petrosian, he's still my 6th favorite player of all time after Fischer, Morphy, Capablanca, Tal, and Judit Polgar. I see a Petrosian game and I'm up for it.

[@michaelallport5816]

My chess hero-The Tiger.

[@Tod_oMal]

The strategy was so clear that you could almost predict every next move. Why looks Chess so easy and it is yet so difficult?

[@Veaseify]

Very well explained! Your spoken style of describing chess reminds me very much of the writing style of Irving Chernev back when I was learning the game. His game analysis had very few variations and an emphasis on the main strategic principles and a few tactical motifs. He isn't highly regarded these days because he would have missed a few subtleties in positions and a few computer engine corrected tactics but as a starting point his books are still useful. I don't know if teaching is your day job but you come across as someone used to explaining things to an audience...

[@yonesmoloodi1886]

Hope you are having a great day Mr John

[@zavalajoseraul]

[@Maximxj750]

Chess is like the piano. You can learn the basics in a day but takes years to master.

[@miguelangelfraumolina7547]

Good morning: It is really sad (not to say somewhat hurtful) to observe the level of emptiness in the comments of your valuable and esteemed channel. Unfortunately, the phenomenon is unstoppable and its metastasis permeates all KZbin programs. Although there are few of us who follow your classes with heightened awareness, learning and enjoying them with your sharp analysis of these (brilliant) historical games, please do not close the channel by any chance. Thank you very much for your disposition.
