Imagine a year ago when Kramnik was Kramnik and not some crazy old dude who isn't even old.
everyone thought metallica were crazy uncool old dudes when they went kamikaze against napster. Cheating is ruining the game at the end of the day
He is only 48. It feels like he is 80 yelling at the moon.
Kramnik not being a crazy old dude?
Interesting
@@donsimons9810 To be fair, metallica was crazy, old, and uncool way before napster
2002. Kramnik: "Anand is using an engine!!". Arbiter: "Yes, Mr. Kramnik. Yes he is."
i see what you did there
You know what... This lecture helps so much. I tend to get the passed D pawn and I can usually only use it to deflect defense of a piece. Maybe I can build a strategy around it a little more. It's tough out here in the 1300's now-a-days. You gotta be Booked up. You help a lot with that Ben. Thanks for your content
No doubt. No doubt. Lets do the procedure.
03:30 What, Kramnik and Vishy playing here in Canarias? Man, the 90s were wild.
Spain was the absolute epicenter of chess in those years! Linares, Dos Hermanos, Bilbao, ...
I just bought a chess set with Kramnik D-pawn and H-pawn named Harry.
Very interesting
Your my hero Ben, mostly cause your one of the few people who talk chess in a normal way. Go Ben!
I needed this lecture. I play the accelerated panov attack and I often struggle to get my passed pawn and win the game. Thanks!
The Kramnick past d pawn seems a bit reminiscent of The Nimzowich school regarding the passed pawns lust for expansion and his postulate that a pawn with only one enemy pawn remaining on an adjacent file is 90% a past pawn.
Brother where is your candidates recap?? Im literally welling to miss school for your recaps, please do it
There shall be more lectures sir.
I guess you could say, if dxc6 at 9:49, that pawn is a past d-pawn
As crazy as Kramnik is, he's a great player. IMO, he's the first player that the term "super GM" applies to. Not because he's the first player at that strength; that's not what I mean.
What I mean is that he's the first player to approach the role of professional chess player the way current top 50 players do. He pioneered using engines to prepare high-level opening novelties--he was responsible for the rise of the Berlin defense and the Re1 variation in the old QID main line. He challenged orthodox ideas, such as here: the general aversion GMs prior had of having this passed, isolated d-pawn.
It's a Kramnik world, and we're just living in it.
Are you saying that Kramnik used a computer engine to gain advantages over other players? He is a fair player and would never cheat?!
That's not really true. Kasparov also used extensive engine analysis for his opening ideas and he did it before Kramnik did
@12jswilson you're right--but Kasparov got caught with his pants down in the 2000 WC match.
It's not that no one did it before Kramnik, it's that Kramnik made it essential. That's partly luck, but he was the player occupying that particular pair of shoes.
Botvinnik was also pioneer in professional game preparation. He and his team made great number of novelties. Botvinnik used the soviet system as an engine that calculated new opening moves for him.
Basically, you've redefined "super-GM" to mean something that can only exist since about the year 2000, by making high-powered engines a requirement. And then you say that Kramnik is, therefore, the first super-GM. I mean, sure, with that definition, yes, since he was the strongest GM at the time when your definition of "super-GM" became possible. But that's not what everybody else uses that term to mean and, as others have pointed out, Kramnik was hardly the first person to do this kind of analysis.
It's with d pawns as with cheating allegations: Kramnik is willing to take them very far! There are also some differences.
things that make you go hum
sounds like something came out 😂
No candidates coverage from Ben? 😢

Jonathan Rowson called the Grunfeld passed D pawn "Delroy"
Kramnik was very kind to play these games so that we can look at them now.
the dogs are barking because they didnt know the opening
After Ba5 Qe8 Re3. At 13:25
If you get a passed D pawn and you frequently win, always repeat, right?
Very interesting game by Kramnik. Interesting
no candidates content this year ?
Played through kramnik games a while ago and saw that a winning promotion was a regular theme, but well done for catching up.
Hey If you didn't notice their is a low hum from the microphone, must just be a loose connection.
30:50 Two Kramnik passed D-pawns -- one for each of ya!
23:32 fun fact: all pawns on the seventh tank are passed
Black starts the game with 10 rooks?
Will you make comments about Candidates games?
Always like
wait this video is actually posted in timely fashion? im confused
confusing the audience! that's what i meant
max euwe also got passed pawns in the midgame
The saddest part about Kramnik is that prior to Carlsen's hissy fit, Kramnik had been the victim of the worst cheating false-accusations in history, aka Toiletgate. Of everybody in the chess world, he should have known better. My theory is that his current insanity is actually a macho over-reaction to that; he was angry and bitter at being portrayed as a victim. And the only way to make people forget was to become the evil bully making the false accusations.
Kramnik?
Very suspicious!
Nah, just interesting.
Mr finegold your dogs see more tacticts then i do
Imagine being reported for cheating by a d pawn
more kramnik past the deep end
LOL at 34:32 he farts
- The Truth hurts
Very suspicious
For real or 50-50 chance to be real?
"Bof bof" - the almost bark. That means the dogs are very suspicious.
Nah.. -The truth squirts 😮
What about e pawn?)
how about kramnik's passed brain cells
ua-cam.com/video/-BzRMSH0O2Y/v-deo.html Bonus game, Kramnik-Van Der Wiel
Isn't the term passed pawn on 7th rank wrong ? There's no way a pawn is on 7th without being passed anyway, unless you're a GM. Oh snap
I want to watch these but the mouth noises make it so hard ...
Ben, you should really be covering the candidates if you want to grow the channel. I’d really rather watch a recap from you than Gotham or any other garbage like that. You’d be extremely funny and also have good analysis.
You should sponsor it.
