in school oh well so so you know yeah i flunked a couple of subjects

but uh i made them up i mean uh i got a good enough mark

so i let me head

and i passed them with flying colors this was in oh no no i didn't finish high school two

and a half years why didn't no my head's always pretty clear

so it is okay no no somebody else asked me

that no i never dreamed about chess not

that i remember yeah yeah American checkers I just you know

I don't know how to play yeah no good oh yeah

I'm pretty fast about you oh it depends on the position maybe depends I say sometimes just one

or two there are many sub variations but

if it's just a forced line say I can I see

10 20 moves even in certain positions it's a simple position

when you have it in your subconscious as you know

when you leave the board and you work on a a little bit when you come back, you sort of have the move.

About everybody can do that, yeah, who plays.

No, it's just, you know, it's a thing, it's a show.

It's nothing.

Really, something really hard is some players can play a whole lot of people blindfolded.

I can't do that.

I think the record is about 40 players blindfolded.

I don't know, it's rough.

I asked the guy who did it, he told me he was, about two months after that, he couldn't do anything, he was just exhausted He plays a good game both ways.

Yeah, no These old books they you know, they didn't know that much way back then so I

Think the rules we have about I mean so that maybe I could all I could survive Well,

I have to take on this other Russian Petrosian So after I take care of him I place basket thing

I was around before Clay.

I don't know.

It picked up from me.

That's right.

I was US champion before anybody heard of Clay.

Is there only one mathematical possibility of how that can happen or are there a number?

No. And who figures those out or did they come up naturally?

What other books do you read?

Yeah, well, we got too many things in this country.

That's the problem.

You know, we got all these entertainments, movies, you know, just too many things people can do.

Some of these communist countries...

There are no good women chess players, are there?

Have you ever had a grand mistress?

What?

Has there ever been a grandmistress of chess?

You can take dollars out of Yugoslavia.

Oh.

Hmm, that's a good one.

I got a little lost there, but...

I did too, but I finally...

Yeah, he just knows something went wrong somewhere, you know.

Yeah.

Come on, when they actually resign, or when they resign, they're not getting checkmated, they just give up because there's nothing left to do.

There is no...

It's inevitable.

They could play on, say, 20 moves, but why waste time?

This is a position from a famous game, Morphy against the Duke of Brunswick, back in the 19th century.

Am I his grace?

Duke's got a rook.

And, well, it's a forced mate.

Well, he took off the rook check.

You what?

He took off the rook check with the bishop.

And then he took back with the knight And now it's forced mate in two moves White, yeah, checkmate in two moves, right?

At the end of the game, you know what I mean?

Yeah Right, right.

Want me to show it?

No, I just assumed you showed me...

Now...

Show slowly where you went from where to where.

You took what and put it where for the people who really know what's happening here.

I played the queen down, check.

See, the queen moves like a rook and like a bishop too.

Now the king can't go anywhere, because he can't go here, the bishop is on this diagonal, holding that square.

The pawn blocks this square, knight blocks this square, and there's nothing back here, you can't go back there.

So you have to make, so this move is covered by the bishop and the queen.

So everything's covered.

Only thing to do is take the queen.

And the rook comes down here, and that's a mate.

Well, that's the way the rook moves.

It moves in a straight line. In one move, yeah.

If there's nothing in the way, shoot right down.

And now the king's in checkmate.

Because he's threatening to take it.

Can't go here again because of this.

Can't go here because of the pawn.

And now you can't go back.

Can't take it because the bishop protects it.

So, actually, you don't take the king off.

The game's over when you have it.

And when it's in a position where it can't get away.

And the Duke of Brunswick connection, Morphe was one of the old time greats.

There were a couple of cases where I remember the lights went out.

Just to learn the move, oh, 20 minutes.

Yeah, but is there enough time?

A few hours, an hour or two, a couple hours.

Not a big deal, the last five moves.

What was it?

Oh, yeah, that's what, well, I forget what they call it as a matter of fact.

It's like two-move mate, two moves.

What is it?

You win the game in two moves, checkmate.

100

And is it?

101

Well, two, but they're basically the same, just slight variations.

102

They probably came up, sure.

103

Mainly magazines, not too heavy on books.

104

I never tried to develop myself in all these things.

105

Well, the best woman player in the world, I guess, was Vera Menchik.

106

She was Hungarian.

107

But they have a very good one now in Russia, too.

108

Oh, they do?

109

I thought it was all men.

110

Yeah, got Prindashvili.

111

It was real good.

112

I'd say a master of strength.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
