8
that i remember yeah yeah American checkers I just you know
9
I don't know how to play yeah no good oh yeah
10
I'm pretty fast about you oh it depends on the position maybe depends I say sometimes just one
11
or two there are many sub variations but
12
if it's just a forced line say I can I see
13
10 20 moves even in certain positions it's a simple position
14
when you have it in your subconscious as you know
15
when you leave the board and you work on a a little bit when you come back, you sort of have the move.
16
About everybody can do that, yeah, who plays.
17
No, it's just, you know, it's a thing, it's a show.
18
It's nothing.
19
Really, something really hard is some players can play a whole lot of people blindfolded.
20
I can't do that.
21
I think the record is about 40 players blindfolded.
22
I don't know, it's rough.
23
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.
24
Yeah, no These old books they you know, they didn't know that much way back then so I
25
Think the rules we have about I mean so that maybe I could all I could survive Well,
26
I have to take on this other Russian Petrosian So after I take care of him I place basket thing
27
I was around before Clay.
28
I don't know.
29
It picked up from me.
30
That's right.
31
I was US champion before anybody heard of Clay.
32
Is there only one mathematical possibility of how that can happen or are there a number?
33
No. And who figures those out or did they come up naturally?
34
What other books do you read?
35
Yeah, well, we got too many things in this country.
36
That's the problem.
37
You know, we got all these entertainments, movies, you know, just too many things people can do.
38
Some of these communist countries...
39
There are no good women chess players, are there?
40
Have you ever had a grand mistress?
41
What?
42
Has there ever been a grandmistress of chess?
43
You can take dollars out of Yugoslavia.
44
Oh.
45
Hmm, that's a good one.
46
I got a little lost there, but...
47
I did too, but I finally...
48
Yeah, he just knows something went wrong somewhere, you know.
49
Yeah.
50
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.
51
There is no...
52
It's inevitable.
53
They could play on, say, 20 moves, but why waste time?
54
This is a position from a famous game, Morphy against the Duke of Brunswick, back in the 19th century.
55
Am I his grace?
56
Duke's got a rook.
57
And, well, it's a forced mate.
58
Well, he took off the rook check.
59
You what?
60
He took off the rook check with the bishop.
61
And then he took back with the knight And now it's forced mate in two moves White, yeah, checkmate in two moves, right?
62
At the end of the game, you know what I mean?
63
Yeah Right, right.
64
Want me to show it?
65
No, I just assumed you showed me...
66
Now...
67
Show slowly where you went from where to where.
68
You took what and put it where for the people who really know what's happening here.
69
I played the queen down, check.
70
See, the queen moves like a rook and like a bishop too.
71
Now the king can't go anywhere, because he can't go here, the bishop is on this diagonal, holding that square.
72
The pawn blocks this square, knight blocks this square, and there's nothing back here, you can't go back there.
73
So you have to make, so this move is covered by the bishop and the queen.
74
So everything's covered.
75
Only thing to do is take the queen.
76
And the rook comes down here, and that's a mate.
77
Well, that's the way the rook moves.
78
It moves in a straight line. In one move, yeah.
79
If there's nothing in the way, shoot right down.
80
And now the king's in checkmate.
81
Because he's threatening to take it.
82
Can't go here again because of this.
83
Can't go here because of the pawn.
84
And now you can't go back.
85
Can't take it because the bishop protects it.
86
So, actually, you don't take the king off.
87
The game's over when you have it.
88
And when it's in a position where it can't get away.
89
And the Duke of Brunswick connection, Morphe was one of the old time greats.
90
There were a couple of cases where I remember the lights went out.
91
Just to learn the move, oh, 20 minutes.
92
Yeah, but is there enough time?
93
A few hours, an hour or two, a couple hours.
94
Not a big deal, the last five moves.
95
What was it?
96
Oh, yeah, that's what, well, I forget what they call it as a matter of fact.
97
It's like two-move mate, two moves.
98
What is it?
99
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.

Per chi è questo video?

Questo video è perfetto per chi vuole migliorare la pratica di conversazione in inglese a livello intermedio o avanzato, specialmente se si concentra sullo "shadowing" (o shadow speak). Ideale per chi vuole imitare l'intonazione e il flusso di una conversazione spontanea, senza i rigori di un discorso preparato. Se i tuoi obiettivi includono parlare con naturalità e capire dialetti americani, questo è il contenuto giusto per te!

Parole e modi di dire da rubare

La conversazione è ricca di espressioni colliquiali da aggiungere al tuo vocabolario:

  • Flunked a couple of subjects: "Sballare un paio di materie" (es. "Ho flunked la matematica, ma l'ho ricuperata").
  • Passed with flying colors: "Passare con voti eccellenti" (es. "Dopo gli studi, ho passato l'esame with flying colors").
  • Forced line (nella scacchiera): "Sequenza obbligata" (utile anche in contesti generali per indicare una serie di passaggi inevitabili).
  • Blindfolded: "Ad occhi bendati" (es. "Gioca a scacchi blindfolded, è incredibile!").
Questi modi di dire rendono il tuo inglese più autentico e vicino alla lingua parlata quotidianamente.

Come imitare l'accento correttamente

Il parlante ha un accento americano con una pronuncia rilassata. Per fare shadow speech bene, concentra ti su:

  • La riduzione delle vocali: parole come "can't" o "don't" spesso perdono la "t" finale, diventando "can'" o "don'".
  • L'intonazione ascendente nelle domande: ascolta come le frasi interrogative finiscono con un leggero alzamento di tono (es. "You know?").
  • Il flusso: le pause non sono sempre logiche, ma seguono il ritmo della conversazione. Imita i "uh" e i "you know" per rendere il tuo discorso più naturale.
Con la pratica, noterai che il shadowspeaks diventa più semplice e il tuo inglese acquisterà fluibilità. Ricorda: l'importante è non temere di sbagliare, ma di imitare con entusiasmo!

Imparare l'inglese con i video è un modo divertente e efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e la conversazione. Questo video, in particolare, è un'ottima occasione per esercitarti con un dialogo reale e apprendere modi di dire che non trovi nei libri. Iniziamo a shadoware e a parlare come un nativo!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
