      That's not a nicety, it's a tradition. That's how the beginning of a game is signified. It's like bowing to your opponent in martial arts. It is done regardless of circumstance or kindness. To not do so would be extremely disrespectful and would likely incur a lot of hatred and loss of respect for the player who acted that way.

    • @siphillis
      @siphillis 3 роки тому +137

      The whole section with Kasparov is misleading.
      In reality, Kasparov was quite enamored by Magnus' skill, and flew down to Norway to spend some time with his family. Years later, Kasparov would coach Magnus for a year, ironing out some of his aggressive tendencies, while sharpening his instincts for piece dynamics. Kasparov has stated his approval of Magnus as the ambassador of the game, and feels he should absolutely be in the conversation for best ever.
      The insinuation that Kasparov feared or reviled Magnus is a fabricated storyline by CBS.

Kasparov then simply got up and walked off, taken by the youngsters play (as evidenced by the head shake during the game). At the time, Kasparov would not fear anyone sitting across from him at a chess match, and would not give a child enough thought to revile him.

    Magnus has no danger of becoming ill in the way Bobby Fisher had. The issue is that Bobby lacked the supportive family and the integration with friends and other interests. Magnus has a more solid footing in the world, which shows in his humility and thoughtfulness towards others. Madness does not come from playing chess at this level per se, but from anything for which an individual has poor coping skills exposing them to more chronic stress. Bobby had not achieved the necessary internal internal integration to understand where chess fit into his sense of self in the world of people.

      Most probably genetics. Bobby's mother was diagnosed as "stilted (paranoid) personality, querulent [sic] but not psychotic."
      His most probable biological father Paul Nemenyi was a genius but had mental issues. He would always carry soap with him, always washing his hands (OCD). The Jewish family services considered Nemenyi somewhat of a paranoid type. So Bobby inherited genius and mental illness.

  • @hitrapperandartistdababy

    Only criticism I have of this video is how they portrayed Kasparov as this cocky disrespectful player who showed up, lost and then left.
    First of all, he and Magnus had played before, this was just the first time it ended in a draw. Second of all, Kasparov actually went on to win the tournament, having won all games except for thr draw against Magnus. Shaking hands and leaving is standard Chess behavior. He is concentrating, so Is Magnus. Its an exhausting game especially at that level they play. Its not that he is treating Magnus with Disrespect. Its that He treats Magnus like a tough opponent. Not a kid but a player.
    Kasparov also went on to Coach Magnus for about a year and to this day speaks incredibly highly of him.
    Similar to the actual clip on youtube about this match, Kasaprov is played out as this smug, arrogant player who cant beat the underdog. Which is done solely for dramatizing
    Other than that this was a great video! Especially the interveiwer was great

    I've played blindfolded against one opponent before and I won but to play against several opponents simultaneously is just genius. It's just next level. Truly he's Mozart of the chess.

      No. Actually no. Once I played a simultaneous game with 4 other guys and the opponent was just an FM.

    Dad made a great analogy comparing chess players to an artist or a writer. Perfect.

    "The number of possible moves: infinite." Yea its a very very big number but it certainly isn't infinite.

      waverleyrocker Well if there are only the 2 kings left, draws weren't considered, and the 50 move rule wasn't a rule, than yes, the number of moves are infinite.

      ...but chess does have these rules, so there are finite games

      @harambeisthenewpac8174 7 років тому +42

      The number of possible moves in a game is around 10^120. So for 10 games: (10^120)x10 =/= infinite. But i think he was talking about the number of possible combinations (moves) on all 10 games Carlsen was playing at the same time, which is (10^120)^10 = infinite.
      I might be wrong tho.

      @dsjoakim35 7 років тому +26

      And now you multiply that by whatever you want, lets say 2. Is that now two infinities or still just one?
