This is one of my favorite Kasparov attacks as black: absolutely devestating against one of the finest defenders in chess history. Thank you for highlighting the greatest rivalry in chess.
Karpov and Kasparov were the ultimate rivals. Two exceptional talents with totally different styles. To me Karpov’s style is very disciplined and precise whereas Kasparov was more abstract and adventurous. I only wish Fischer was still there too at that time.
Kasparov was so very alert to all possible tactical motifs that confirms the saying that the winner sees a move or two better than the loser. Funny tho' how Gary was freaked out by the computer that could see way farther than he could. That was a bit of role reversal for Gary. Good show as always.
Kasparov in his prime was alekhine 2.0….he could find and play 15 straight only winning move in a game, check out his attack against Topalov in his immortal game.
Could you possibly bring more of that epic battle between Kasparov and Karpov. There was so much tension, and there are some really phantasmic games (on both sides). I think Kasparov is for us western people the more symphatic guy, but both were amazing players, and Karpov - slightly elder - had his time as world champion. Otherwise he would have possibly one of this tragic figures (like Kortschnoi - one more of those Russian with K 🙂) who basically never got world champion because Karpov was there...
There are more than enough streamers covering the candidates. What chessdawg does is cover a lot of older, historical games, and we appreciate it from him. Some of us don't wanna be inundated with Hikaru and Fabi games non-stop.
@@SpongeBob_SchwachKopf OH.... just a statement. well, for a minute there I thought you were trying to insult me. But I'm into my sixties so if you were trying to say that I'm a child, then allow me to correct your erroneous assumption. Have a great day!
Actually, in fairness to Karpov, the following year he absolutely dominated Linares winning with an unheard of 11/13. He finished well ahead of a field that included a second place Kasparov who had 8.5/13. Perhaps I will cover one of Karpov's games from that legendary tournament to balance things a little bit.
It's like music. The music you grew up with is the music you think is the greatest. That said (about music) a study once found in terms of feel good harmony the music of earlier ages was better than later ages, progressively, meaning music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. 00s, 10s, 20s got progressively worse. And I tend to agree, though I don't listen to much music. You notice how Rihanna now is doing country rather than rap because it's trendy? Well country is basically 50s music. As for chess, who's the greatest? Kasparov of course. And you can guess my age by that comment. Peace!
Karpov scored 19 wins, 21 losses, and 104 draws in 144 world championship games. Hardly a domination by Kasparov. Actually, I would say that the 2 win advantage is statistically insignificant.
True, but the goal of matches is to win them, not an exercise in statistics. The fact that they played five and Karpov won zero is significant. And four of those losses came at the start of the 1984 match when Kasparov was adjusting to Karpov's level (no way to practice for that, especially at that time).
@@BillHimmel Both count. it's not one or the other. You can hold the reality that the players were extremely close overall as well as the one that Kasparov ultimately was better.

Excellent attacking game by Kasparov !!! Very instructive !! Great commentary as usual !!
The more I learn about Karpov the more I respect him so the fact that Garry could ein like this with black is very impressive
What a bizarre game this was. Just beyond my comprehension
Amazing detail & coverage 👌🏽
Good one. Thanks for keeping short and concise.
Surely the most venomous, hate filled rivalry in chess history was between Karpov and Korchnoi.
Filthy!
Hate? Also, I highly suggest watching the documentary on karpov life in the original Russian

Crazy that today our phones have the compute power to investigate every possible move worth investigating. Chess is basically solved.
@@keaton718 Not really, as AlphaZero showed there may very well be new ideas waiting to be discovered.
@@bring-out i have heard of Stockfish pruning trees that have good moves in them, but it can still reliably beat any human.
@@keaton718 I think both statements in your last comment are true. Computers are far better than humans, but they haven't solved chess.

I like your videos. Thank you for making them!!! 😮😊😅
Excellent Chess. Thank you.

Cover some of the candidates matches plz

Of course, the REAL source of tension between Karpov and Kasparov is that their last names were too similar.
Excellent.
Thanks 👍
totally off topic but... for laughs, play this at .5 or .25 speed. Drunk chessdawg. HEHEHEH
child ...
@@SpongeBob_SchwachKopf was that supposed to be an insult?

A beauty.
The greatest attacking player ever was Tal
Karpov was in his 40's when he played this game. I think he. In his prime, was better. Look at their first WCM. Karpov was crushing him.

Karpov has won more GM tournaments than anyone in History !
@7:38 just wondering how about white play RXc2. Thanks!
@@宇宙次佛Same here
No. That would be Paul Morphy followed by Mikail Tal.

I've been saying that for years plus karpov was 12 years older

@@femioyekan8184Thx for reminding the Karpov-fanbase that it is wins that count, not statistics!
@@femioyekan8184 Most don't remember that Kasparov won the 1987 match virtue of a tie, with no tie-break.

Better to resign then to get smothered with gravy
Hard to get over the fact that Kasparov is a clown.
Garry Kasparov is the Greatest Player to Ever Live
