Vid e o put Fredthebear in th is cent ury
Compiled by fredthebear

This is a new collection, circa COVID-19. Many more games to come. FTB adds another game each day, it seems.

Use the kibitz dates to find the video link in the kibitzer's comments. Nearly all of these videos are annotated in English. Moves only put to music without annotations are typically not included.

A special thank you to MordimerChess and Penguincw for providing many recent videos. Kingscrusher and Mato Jelic have produced many excellent videos as well. I have not tried to keep up w/the many productions from agadmator or GM Daniel King. Thank you to all the annotators!!

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." ― Lao Tzu

"God has given you one face, and you make yourself another." ― William Shakespeare

"I started chess around the age of seven. I was inspired by the game, but soon legends like Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, Anand and many other world champions captivated me." ― Anish Giri

"Chess is a game where all different sorts of people can come together, not a game in which people are divided because of their religion or country of origin." ― Hikaru Nakamura

"In chess, you have to bring all the pieces into the game. It is about development. In writing, you have to develop the story." ― Gza

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." ― Albert Einstein

"Chess is a lot of fun for me. Football is a physical game, and in chess you can just beat someone mentally - you outwit somebody, outmaneuver them, think ahead of them." ― Larry Fitzgerald

"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." ― Archimedes

"The most powerful weapon in chess is to have the next move." ― David Bronstein

"Young men preen. Old men scheme." ― Mason Cooley

"Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego." ― Bobby Fischer

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." ― Henry David Thoreau

"Chess is the art of analysis." ― Mikhail Botvinnik

"Patience is the companion of wisdom." ― Saint Augustine

"Chess is a sport. The main object in the game of chess remains the achievement of victory." ― Max Euwe

"There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things." ― Gerald R. Ford

"My biggest competitor was my mum. I used to try to beat her at Chinese chequers, chess, carrom, volleyball, badminton, football, wrestling." ― Sunil Chhetri

"Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances." ― Thomas Jefferson

"The human element, the human flaw and the human nobility - those are the reasons that chess matches are won or lost." ― Viktor Korchnoi

"In chess, you should be as cool as a cucumber." ― Yuliya Snigir

"O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!" ― Walter Scott

"It is a profound mistake to imagine that the art of combination depends only on natural talent, and that it cannot be learned." ― Richard Reti

"To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift." ― Steve Prefontaine

"I love to play chess. The last time I was playing, I started to really see the board. I don't mean just seeing a few moves ahead - something else. My game started getting better. It's the patterns. The patterns are universal." ― Forest Whitaker

"God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?' " ― William Arthur Ward

"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." ― Epictetus

"I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game, especially these days." ― Anna Kendrick

Never judge a book by its cover.

"You cannot say, 'Go! Go! Rah! Rah! Good move!' People want some emotion. Chess is an art and not a spectator sport." ― Garry Kasparov

"My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose." ― Bette Davis

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." ― Winston Churchill

"I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up." ― Magnus Carlsen

"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." ― Mark Twain

"I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be." ― Joyce Meyer

"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment." ― Jim Rohn

"I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one." ― Will Rogers

"Life is like a chess game. Every decision, just like every move, has consequences. Therefore, decide wisely!" ― Susan Polgar

"When people insult and disrespect you, the best revenge is to continue to win, and win, and win…." ― Susan Polgar

"The mind has no restrictions. The only restriction is what you believe you cannot do. So go ahead and challenge yourself to do one thing every day that scares you." ― Susan Polgar

Established in: 1702

The city of Mobile is a port city on the Gulf Coast in Alabama that has a lot of French influence (which makes sense, since it was founded by the French). Mardi Gras celebrations originated there, and you can experience the history of the holiday at the Mobile Carnival Museum.

Here's a poem a dad wrote:

<ODE TO CHESS

Ten times I charged the grim, foreboding walls

and was pitched into the pit of defeat.

But, heedless of humiliating falls,

I clambered bravely back onto my feet

and charged again, again to be down thrust

onto the scrap heap of people who lose

onto the mound of mortifying dust

whilst my opponent sat without a bruise

upon his pedestal. We changed sides

and fought again, but I was defeated

whilst he with arrogant and haughty strides

took the throne upon which I had been seated.

Ha! Win or lose, it's how you play the game.

But I would like to beat him just the same.>

"Chess is played with the mind and not with the hands." ― Renaud & Kahn

"Chess is a terrific way for kids to build self-image and self-esteem." ― Saudin Robovic

"Life is like a chess. If you lose your queen, you will probably lose the game." — Being Caballero

"If you wish to succeed, you must brave the risk of failure." — Garry Kasparov

"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them." — Ernest Hemingway

"You win some, you lose some, you wreck some." — Dale Earnhardt

"In life, unlike chess the game continues after checkmate." ― Isaac Asimov

<<Kasparov> is the only player to challenge <Lasker>'s record of winning the strongest tournaments consistently, and he did it over many more tournaments with more strong players around.> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMe...

Here's the "upgrade"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty-...

And, a "reupload"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3os...

Cassandro>, what gives?? Lambda presents basic facts regarding Kasparov and Karpov's significant tournament histories, and you rail on our member without presenting information proving otherwise? We see this all the time in Biden politics... the facts don't sit well, so one bashes the messenger as a retort because the debate is factually lost.

No <stone or free die>, you think wrong as usual. FTB did NOT grow up reading books about Soviet legends. Ever heard of <Fred Reinfeld>?? Let's be of help, as we are known to educate those in need: https://www.chess.com/article/view/...

and https://www.chess.com/blog/DonMcKim...

This Reinfeld book was an early favorite of FTB: https://archive.org/details/greatsh...

All one must do is sign up for free, and then borrow the book whenever one wishes to read for free, and see some exciting checkmates of the greats!

During FTB's youth, the USA was in a friggin' <Cold War> of propaganda against Communism (and still is to a great degree aside from the Bidens making millions off overseas contributors: https://www.politifact.com/factchec...). Let us not forget that the Hillarious Clinton campaign https://apnews.com/article/russia-u... produced the completely fraudulent dossier dishonestly used by the FBI in court, falsely alleging that well-known American businessman Donald Trump was in fact a Russian operative. Seriously -- the Dems, the Deep State dared to pull such an outrageous stunt, and the malpracticing national media obliged. Then House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her gang of no-goods spent a whopping 3 1/2 egregiously trying to impeach the 44th president on a complete hoax!??? Why aren't these perpetrators behind barz???

It was the true GOAT, primarily self-taught <Bobby Fischer> who came along and temporarily dismantled the Communist stronghold on the chess world in the 1970s: Wikipedia article: World Chess Championship 1972 And who from that era will ever forget that the Communist SOBs jobbed our USA Olympic men's basketball team out of the gold medal in 1972: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DG... For the younger generation, there was no do-overs, no reset button back then.

At least the USA had the great <Mark Spitz>: https://www.history.com/this-day-in...

While we're at it, such foolish terrorist sympathizers might need to learn of this 1972 atrocity: Wikipedia article: Munich massacre

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSJ...

Not much has changed these days, eh? These same ancestorial terrorists invaded Israel and killed 1,400 Jews and took hostages in 2023, https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/10/18... the last of which president elect Donald Trump's negotiator has finally secured an exchange in Reaganesque fashion. https://www.theatlantic.com/interna...

The shear ignorance and lack of acceptance of historical truths on this website is astounding. FTB's pursuers really should wise up and stop eating their own shoe leather.

Does anybody know who Slingin' Sammy Baugh was? <Otto Graham>? Is there a historical cut-off where legendary performers no longer exist, when Rome did not rule much of the world, or crucify the Lamb of God, <Jesus Christ> of Nazareth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvt... Can the accomplishments of the <Aztec empire> https://www.inventiongen.com/aztec-... be dismissed because we think we're in the information age today? Can they all be forgotten, swept under the rug for the sake of modernism? The latest is always the greatest??? Did some buffoon really invent a new checkmate???

Is a Goat still a Goat if he's part of a cheating organization? https://talksport.com/nfl/2731739/t...

Is a goon still a goon when he's telling the truth? How do we know he's telling the truth? Is the truth optional today? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-c... The truth separates the best from the rest.

Put away your thesaurus and never-ending negativity perfidubious. It's of no use when hiding from the fact that Carlsen has avoided the world's premier classical chess tournament two years in a row -- Tata Steel.

To you, I present defending tournament champion <Wei Yi>, and NEW heavyweight champion of the world....

<<Gukesh Dommaraju> (born 29 May 2006) is an Indian chess grandmaster and the reigning World Chess Champion. A chess prodigy, Gukesh is the youngest undisputed world champion, the youngest player to have surpassed a FIDE rating of 2750, doing so at the age of 17, and the third-youngest to have surpassed 2700 Elo at the age of 16. He earned the title of grandmaster at the age of 12 and is the third-youngest grandmaster in chess history.> -- Wikipedia

The Dancing Bear
by James Russell Lowell

Far over Elf-land poets stretch their sway,
And win their dearest crowns beyond the goal
Of their own conscious purpose; they control
With gossamer threads wide-flown our fancy's play, And so our action. On my walk to-day,
A wallowing bear begged clumsily his toll,
When straight a vision rose of Atta Troll,
And scenes ideal witched mine eyes away.
'Merci, Mossieu!' the astonished bear-ward cried, Grateful for thrice his hope to me, the slave
Of partial memory, seeing at his side
A bear immortal. The glad dole I gave
Was none of mine; poor Heine o'er the wide
Atlantic welter stretched it from his grave.

The Bird Wounded By An Arrow

A bird, with plumed arrow shot,
In dying case deplored her lot:
"Alas!" she cried, "the anguish of the thought!
This ruin partly by myself was brought!
Hard-hearted men! from us to borrow
What wings to us the fatal arrow!
But mock us not, you cruel race,
For you must often take our place."

The work of half the human brothers
Is making arms against the others.

<<Alireza Firouzja> (Persian: علی‌رضا فیروزجا, Persian pronunciation: æliːɾeˈzɑː fiːɾuːzˈdʒɑː; born 18 June 2003) is an Iranian and French chess grandmaster. Firouzja is the youngest ever 2800-rated player, beating the previous record set by Magnus Carlsen by more than five months.

A chess prodigy, Firouzja won the Iranian Chess Championship at age 12 and earned the Grandmaster title at 14. At 16, Firouzja became the second youngest 2700-rated player and won a silver medal at the 2019 World Rapid Chess Championship. In November 2021, at 18, he won the FIDE Grand Swiss tournament and an individual gold medal at the European Team Chess Championship. He won a bronze medal at the 2021 World Blitz Chess Championship. In 2022, Firouzja won the Grand Chess Tour.

Firouzja left the Iranian Chess Federation in 2019 because of the country's longstanding policy against competing with Israeli players.4 He played under the FIDE flag until mid-2021, when he became a French citizen and began representing France, where he had already been living.> — Wikipedia

<<<Five Preliminary Endgame Rules> According to CJS Purdy>

1. Before even beginning to think of making a passed pawn, put all your pieces into as good positions as possible.

2. Avoid pawn-moves while you are getting your pieces well positioned because pawn-moves create lasting weaknesses and thus make your task harder.

3. Try to free your position from weaknesses; and if possible, make it hard for the opponent to do likewise.

4. When trying to win, keep pawns on both wings. When trying to draw, play to eliminate all the pawns on one wing. With pawns on one wing only, a pawn plus is usually insufficient for a win.

5. If you are a pawn up or more, exchange pieces (not pawns) wherever you can do so without losing in position.

Exception: do not rush an exchange that will leave you with a single bishop running on the opposite color to the enemy's single bishop. Also, refrain from exchanging if it will give your opponent two bishops against bishop and knight. >

Riddle Question: What word is always pronounced wrong?

The first American Chess Congress, organized by <Daniel Willard Fiske> and held in New York, October 6 to November 10, 1857, was won by <Paul Morphy>. It was a knockout tournament in which draws did not count.

First prize was $300. Morphy refused any money, but accepted a silver service consisting of a pitcher, four goblets, and a tray. Morphy's prize was given to him by <Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.> ― Wikipedia

Riddle Answer: Wrong!

Mightiest of masters of the chequer'd board,
Of early genius high its boasted lord!
Rising in youth's bright morn to loftiest fame,

Princeliest of players held with one acclaim;
Host in thyself – all-conquering in fight: –

Yankees exult! – in your great champion's might.>

Dinner Prayer Hymn
Traditional Hymn

Lord, bless this food and grant that we

May thankful for thy mercies be;

Teach us to know by whom we're fed;

Bless us with Christ, the living bread.

Lord, make us thankful for our food,

Bless us with faith in Jesus' blood;

With bread of life our souls supply,

That we may live with Christ on high.

In His name we pray,
Amen!
