I love these nineteen eighties presentations, computers that beep!

I think this must be the BBC's Master Game.. shame you can't get it on DVD.. I really liked the format.

yes, the game is interesting in itself, Short blunders a piece and just by sheer luck gets
it back and eventually has a winning position. Yes the format is excellent, every time i
play chess i have Spasskys voice in my head, 'i must find a plan, yes bavo, i like my
position very much' or the more usual, 'oh, its very unpleasant for me, i am feeling
pessimistic about my position, very unpleasant!' Its just great to listen to the masters
comment on their own games, i liked Lothar Schmid the German master, he used to
tell stories about what he was doing that morning and how it influenced his opening
choice.
