Botvinnik vs. Bronstein | World Championship 1951 - GM Yasser Seirawan - 2015.09.10 

GM Seirawan is great, glad he's back! Looking forward to more lectures!

Yasser is back! I really missed that refreshing presentations! :-)

Gift me more Yasser!

such a blessing to have such an easy access to high quality chess explanations. What a likable show by GM Yasser Seirawan. Baadur Jobava recommanded to study the games of Botvinnik and the classics in general.

Thanks Saint Louis Chess Club and GM Yasser Seirwan. Beautifully explained chess history.

Hurray, Yasser is back!

Great stuff! I read Yasser's book on chess openings back in 2000 (KIA is still one of my preferred openings along with Pirc). I've played chess off and on last 15 years and recently discovered these videos. So nice to actually watch him teach. It's like meeting a friend or a teacher after a long time.

I cannot decide if I like Yasser or Ben more... probably depends on my mood but chess has two great content providers there

Yes! Yasser!

Love me some Yasser lectures !

I adore his lectures ! I wish to be him

This was the first world championship draw (at regular time controls), later repeated by Carlsen-Karjakin, Carlsen-Caruana and Nepo-Ding

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN !!!!!

Yay for Yasser

you are the best in the channel!

One of the saddest moments of chess to me was how David Broinstein lost that WC. The soviets just tried to put everything against Bronstein to keep the Botvinnik's reign, and although barely, Bronstein lost. He was an amazing player and imo he deserved that WC title.

Evaluation jumps with Stockfish 13 from -1.5 to +1.3 when black plays 14. ... Ba7. That means that while black was a rook down, his positional advantage was much greater. It happens from time to time that your opponent blunders a piece but then he has all the easy moves while you have to untangle. Bronsteins defense to 15. b6 with 15. ... Bxa4 was bad as well- the evaluation drops to + 3.6. Much better was 15. ... cxb6 16. Nxb6 Bxb6 17. Qxb6 a5 and black isn't completely lost. It's very interesting that Botvinnik managed to get a losing position vs the dutch in 14 moves though. That's the real howler imo.

Yasser I love u :) 🤙🏻

It's mee-kaiel not Michael

Super good!

Yasser is a superb chess lecturer and a great player... but he keeps mispronouncing names. Even the names of the world chess champions! It's not Max Erwe, it's Max Euwe which is pronounced like Oi-veh (not oy-vey, though, lol)

At the end what if white played rook f4 check

At twenty minutes into your tape, what wrong with Ra8. You attacking the White's Queen and controlling the "A" file.

Gasser is the best.

I believe Fine was invited to play in 1948 but declined.

Finegold not giving lecture again? Terrible! Hate when that happens.
