Principle of Two Weaknesses | Insane in the Endgame - GM Alex Lenderman

I know Maurice gets a lot of flack for his crude questions to players in post game analysis but Maurice has worked hard many years trying to popularize chess. There is one particular video on youtube called something like "most exciting chess game ever." The recording is probably 20-30 years old but even that far back Maurice was commentating on live chess games like a sports announcer would comment on a football or basketball game. Its a shame that FIDE and the largest chess federations around the world do so little to change the perception of the chess as a boring game for nerds and create more mainstream appeal. It took a pandemic that make chess more accessible to mainstream but even then FIDE and national federations continue to sleep on popularizing chess and its only a matter of time before chess experiences another vacuum as it happened after the Fischermania boom. That said, hats off to STLCC for doing more to popularize chess over the past ten years than the USCF.

I wonder why PBS doesn't release the recording of the '72 match between Fischer and Spassky or at least release an edited version. I'm sure a lot of people today would love to watch it
