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.
Ben, at 29:50 you say that the engine recommends Bd7 allowing Bxh5. I checked this (as I was extremely interested to see how black justifies the sacrifice) to find that Bd7 Bxh5 is very good for white. So my question is, what were you talking about?
And if you ever play Gary, don't play the King's Indian or the Sicilian, sharp positions is where he shines. Go for something quiet instead, like Kramnik did to defeat him.
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!
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.
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 !
Jei! g3 Nh5 my only candidate moves! It is more easy to see the board with a bit rested brain :) Qd8 was obvious, too! Thank You, Ben! I think I will afford one somewhere around New Year holidays!
We need more Kasparov lectures!
How did you know I was waiting for both King's Indian AND new GM Finegold content? This is perfect.
Wow, ssbm legend Toph?? The Toph of the illustrious Scar and Toph duo?? As always, I'm a fan of your fans, ben.
Bless Toph, the universal soldier
Thanks!
Yo NH1 to end the game is insane.
Kasparov`s games are fine gold!
Great lecture!
Qh4 mate is relatively easy to prevent - and Hjartson did prevent it. He resigned. 😂
You are a jewel of knowledge Gran Maestro Ben
Thanks! I play this all the time, but learned a lot.

TOPH! Did u see the reads???
For real though, if it is the melee Toph, good shit dude thanks for sponsoring a Finegold lecture

Awesome, thanks!
In the second game, Korchnoi's Rb1 at the end is what is called an "irrelevant" move.
So the point of the lecture... Don't play Kasparov at his peak... Or just don't play F3
Always ends up the Sämisch
@@Admiralmeriweather Never play the Sämisch
I’d still avoid Gary
And if you ever play Gary, don't play the King's Indian or the Sicilian, sharp positions is where he shines.

@@burt591 Just resign on move 2
TOPHHH!
keep it up gm finegold 👍
Also, at 31:42, instead of 21. h4, Stockfish recommends 21.Bd3 a6 22.b3 Bb5 23.Kf2 Bxd3 24.Qxd3 Nd7 25.Qxa6 Bf6 +/= +0.99
A very enjoyable presentation, thank you Ben. Kasparov was a beast without doubt. I wonder if he ever come unstuck playing the Kings Indian? If ever!
Gesundheit.
Thanks Ben.
Jei! Nxd5 my first candidate move! ))
Knight H1 what a move wow

Fantastic video. I always feel uncomfortable as white if I castle queen-side. My a2 pawn feels vulnerable.
+44:40 The power of putting your knight in the corner!

Toph break was funny af
how are you constantly eating without eating
Has someone tried to sponsor a lecture for Hikaru?
Remember kids, next time Garry Chess challenges you, check your watch to make sure it’s not the 1980s. That would be bad.
Kaspar the unfriendly goat
Triple wordplay in one phrase. Congrats!
Is the big mistake to castle Queen side against King's Indian?
White's a2 pawn becomes vulnerable, but the advantage is that it brings white's a1 rook towards the centre to attack the black king.
Show the evaluation

The moral of the story is: don't learn and play the Nimzo-indian against Kasparov, just be an engine.
His full name is ChrisTophEr
The truth hurts - GM Ben finegold
toph. the reads. did u see it.
“always play Nh1”
He’s good at chess but his wife still left him
So kasparov just played fischer openings.....we stand on the soldiers of giants
Everyone and their mothers played Kings Indian back then.
Shoulders dude
*smacks lips*
literally unwatchable
