I’m thinking Fischer was declaring that Yates never beat World Champion Alexander Alekhine. Alekhine became world champion in 1927 I believe Yates victories were well before that
Flohr was an awesome endgame player
@9:00 "I know when it's mate in 19…Aww, 18. It thought too long…depth 46." Makes you wonder why a computer needs to look 46 ply ahead in order to see a mate in 36 ply.
Found this gem today. Instructive collection of endgames, excellent video!
3:12 Is that a chess move? lol
Perfect, was struggling with sloppy rook and pawn endgames and GM Ben has me covered in sardonic style
OMG FINEGOLD IS BACK ON YOUTUBE!
My step-son took over editing videos. Expect 3/5 videos a week the next 12 weeks… I’ve made 2/4 videos a week for months. Here they come!!

Today I had to do a presentation and at the end I asked the class some questions. I got to point at people and say "incorrect!" like 10 times and only 1 time say "correct!" when I asked about predators and a guy said "politicians". I forgot to say "you with the right/wrong answer" damnit
