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.
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.
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. Whatever makes you sleep at night 🤣
Місяць тому
@@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.
You literally wrote "there is a lichess account of his where he draws and maybe even loses to 1600s". That's what I responded to, because it's completely ridiculous.
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.
THE READS
Bless Toph, the universal soldier
Yo NH1 to end the game is insane.
Qh4 mate is relatively easy to prevent - and Hjartson did prevent it. He resigned. 😂
Great lecture!
TOPH! Did u see the reads???
For real though, if it is the melee Toph, good shit dude thanks for sponsoring a Finegold lecture
@@younglove6363 it is he made a tweet about it
Thanks!
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.

keep it up gm finegold 👍
Thanks! I play this all the time, but learned a lot.

Kasparov`s games are fine gold!
Awesome, thanks!
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
legendary topic choice

toph. the reads. did u see it.
Knight H1 what a move wow
Jei! Nxd5 my first candidate move! ))
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.
Kaspar the unfriendly goat

how are you constantly eating without eating
Has someone tried to sponsor a lecture for Hikaru?

Is the big mistake to castle Queen side against King's Indian?
Show the evaluation
Remember kids, next time Garry Chess challenges you, check your watch to make sure it’s not the 1980s. That would be bad.
His full name is ChrisTophEr
The moral of the story is: don't learn and play the Nimzo-indian against Kasparov, just be an engine.
The truth hurts - GM Ben finegold
“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

Right, no talent, which is why Kasparov found ideas like a6 Qa7 and Nh8 in the last game... no talent for sure
Thats some serious weed you smoke. Kasparov gets into the 2000? Wow.
