      Go for something quiet instead, like Kramnik did to defeat him.

    At 22:05 Benjamin, maybe you didn't know and maybe you did, but the move Rf7 was invented by Svetozar Gligoric against Miguel Najdorf in 1953.. a typical move named after the place where the game was played.. Mar del Plata... I have the book Gligoric which is dedicated to his most beloved weapon, the King's Indian Defense !

    Kasparov at his peak was a force to behold. His death stare over the board at an opponent gave him a pawn up advantage before the game even started! The only guy that could slug it out with him was Karpov.

    I demand more Kasparov videos. All of this talk of who is the GOAT Magnus or Kasaprov, but if you weren’t following chess 3 decades ago you don’t have enough context for Kasparov’s games. I’ve seen plenty of Fischer, Capablanca, Tal, Morphy games but haven’t come across a ton, or looked for many Kasparov games. Please put them on a platter for me.

    In my opinion, the reason the engine doesn't like the King's Indian (if it doesn't) is because of the weakened king rather than space disadvantage. The reason I say this is because when I research the Indian defense, the engine doesn't prefer white anymore. The only difference between those two structures is the fianchetto.
    Some Grandmasters like to play with a weakened king (Kramnik) and then blame cheating when they lose. You can't weaken your king if you don't want to lose. That's the main reason the computer always wins: king safety.

    A point of basic, basic strategy... What's the point of winning on (say) the queenside when the kings are both on the kingside? Is that just hoping that a bunch of pieces will get traded off, you'll win material on the queenside, and things will turn into a favourable endgame? It always seems like when you show a game where someone is crashing through where the kings AREN'T, that that person just gets checkmated!

    There's a documentary online where Kasparov hangs out with Peter Thiel. During it, Kasparov refused to play a chess game with Frank Brady (because he was scared of losing), so Thiel played against him instead. That's Frank Brady as in the ex-Bobby Fischer friend.
    Once I saw this action by Kasparov, I started to properly research his games because he was before my time. And there's a LiChess account of his where he draws and maybe even loses to 1600s. But then he gains 200 points very quickly and eventually gets into the 2000s.
    In my opinion, Kasparov was all theory and not much talent. I say that after he blocked me from Twitter, but it's still an honest opinion.
    Bobby Fischer wasn't afraid of Kasparov's theory much less his talent. Fischer didn't trust the Russians. Fischer's main concern was prearrangement. You take a look at Kasparov's first World Championship match and tell me those moves look like they were done by a human, particularly when he plays g4 in one of the first games. How is Kasparov virtually hitting Karpov with The Grob and nobody but Bobby Fischer says a word? I'm with Bobby...I don't believe it either.

    • @fawful303

      Right, no talent, which is why Kasparov found ideas like a6 Qa7 and Nh8 in the last game... no talent for sure

      Sure, sure. Kasparov dominated the entire world of chess for 20 years, but loses to 1600 players on lichess due to his obvious lack of talent.

      @@fundhund62 Make sure you read all the way to the end so that your reply actually makes sense. I said I agreed with Bobby that his games were prearranged, so it doesn't make sense to talk to me about how he dominated non-prearranged games. That's not the topic.
