I don't think no one had ever so much technical understanding of Chess as Kasparov. Bobby Fischer and Carlsen are genius and sometimes it comes natural to them, but Kasparov literally understood upside down the probabilities and tactics of every single move made on the board. Even Carlsen once said that he could not explain how he knew, but he just knew what to do, while Gary not only knows, he knows why and that's what differentiates him from everyone.
i think Fisher can be compared to Kasporov, Carlsen is a genius without a doubt, but he seems slower in this thinking compared to what kasporov shows.. i wanted to meet each other on their peaks.. would be nice to see
"Here let me show you like 25 possible outcomes from this point in the game." He does so in the same amount of time it takes me to decide which pawn I should move in the opening.
Number 1 Kasparov has natural talent for the game. Number 2 Kasparov has most likely devoted a significantly larger amount of time to chess than you, if I were to take a guess I'd say you are an occasional chess player. Number 3 This game was part of the Kasparov-Karpov match for the World Title, so he probably spent a good deal of time mulling over each possible move and combination before going for it. So my point is that you shouldn't feel like an idiot in view of the fact Kasparov is the exception and not the rule.
Not trying to flatter anyone. Simply pointing out that he rapidly shows a number of outcomes in the same amount of time it takes me to decide my opening move as I originally stated; i.e. he's a lot better at chess than I am. Whether or not it's normal for him is irrelevant as it's not normal for me.
@@manuman5319 In the end, intuition in chess cames down to pattern recognition. You saw many different positions many times, and u know what positions should be winning for u and just play a move based on that. Often, there is no need to ACTUALLY calculate, which is actually see what are gonna be the next possible moves and lines that derive from your candidate move. If you always calculated every single move you do on the board with a good depth of maybe 10 moves ahead, you would be an engine. It's very tiring to calculate with a good precision, and therefore no human can do it ALWAYS, for long periods of time. And let's not forget that we often make mistakes or miss something on the spot, and that time management on a match is a big factor too. Often times when you play chess, you just think "I think this is a fine move, let me see if there is an immidiate threath... Uh... Yea, seems good, let's do it." This feeling is much more accurate and much more profound at GM level, and even greater at Super GM level. Kasparov was a beast at many things on the board, and his "intuition" is one of the most remarkable things about him. More than World Champion, Garry is chess legend - there is no discussion about that.
@@manuman5319 more like humans are bad at calculation. When you just play so much you have intuitive pattern recognition and that's where humans are actually good . Every humans sucks at pure calculation even a super grandmaster , they are not inhunan geniuses who can calculate like a computer

@@andymullarx6365 yes the world missed that, I don't think Karpov could have defited Fischer, but it's possible that Karpov would have grown in that match enough to later beat Kasparov.
What impresses me the most, is his ability to put back the pieces to their original positions so quickly. That's the mark of a Grand Master: memorizing positions effortlessly. I could never be a great chess player, let alone a master. But that doesn't preclude me from thoroughly enjoying this (although I had to step back the time index a few times in order just to follow him...lol). Thanks for posting this.
I had the same opinion when I first saw this some years ago. But after studying chess everyday, it is not as remarkable as it appears. Gary also said, “I found some of these later.” Clearly he looked at this for a long while before the interview. Chess players also use technical memorization tricks like chunking and retrograde analysis. Check out GM Maurice Ashley’s Ted Talk on the subject. I never thought I could do this. Now I have several games committed to memory and I’m 46. In summation, you def can do this with some effort.
@@wiredog771 Oh, come on! If you had progress in chess good for you, if must have take effort and dedication. If the case of a GM like Kasparov that effort and dedication is just out of reach for most ordinary men. So please refrain next time you have the urge to say "oh i can do that too, is easy" or "is not remarkable". It makes you look as a dbag, plus is not truth: nothing is easy, everything takes dedication.
J.C Rodríguez I’m not saying I can do that. Jesus, I was at the chess forum in nyc last night and lost 13 games in a row. I’m only 1500 elo but I was 950 two years ago. All I was trying to do was to encourage those who watch this who don’t study chess and will be scared off the game completely or from trying to get better because to the untrained eye, this looks super human when, after you get a coach and study a single position or game for a period of time, these calculations don’t seem impossible. Most 2000s I know have dozens of games memorized. I’m not a d bag. But thanks for the encouragement.
I'm stunned just how quick and charismatic Kasparow was. Most of grandmasters I know are geniuses but they tend to talk awkwardly and not clearly. I've lost my words.
@pianist1408 lol, i know fish trap, but Kasparov literally stayed nr 1 for decades... Nakamura hasnt even reach number one, further Kasparov literally was battling chess and fighting everything, the other guy is a narcissist that used is overconfidence to make is opponents insecure and used his cheater aura and cheating scandals to get a edge vs his opponents. Once he got discovered his wins suddenly disappeared...
Heh, with his lack of poker face, he’d not be a very good pick pocket hahaha. Watch some footage of his reactions to blunders, and you’ll see why Kasparov had to retire from his career as a professional poker player prematurely.
Anatoly Karpov is genious too. He saw all the lines, and that's why he resigned. Not just that, in the match for the world chess cup, Karpov wom many beautiful games against Kasparov, look at them, and then talk. Both are amazing players. In the interview of course Kasparov must underrate Karpov, he is his ARCHIRIVAL.
Definitely one of the greatest rivalry of all time. Their rivalry is reminds us of Capablanca against Alekhine. Whose scores were also very close. According to chessgames.com.. Capablanca beat Alekhine 9 to 7, with 33 draws.. very close

Yeah but today's markets are based on easy information 24/7, executives use statistics combined with their databases, memory is not a problem because information is stored today in a greater level and it's easily accessed. Big data also is very important in the decision making process. About Kasparov, he is the GOAT, in my opinion.
I only wish that Fischer had not completely lost his mind but had continued to hold the championship at least until Kasparov came along - and then the two of them could have played for the world championship - wow, that would have been some incredibly exciting chess.

+Mojjj Wait. If you move white pawn to E5 at the start you make imposible move and you will be suspended. And in this case the oponent automaticly wins.
This must look incredibly advanced for a beginner player, but if we break it down a little bit we can come to the conclusion that a lot of people can make the calculation from the video's starting position. The hard part is reaching the strong position that allow all the tactics to work and that is truly the masterful play!
I have 2200 on lichess, and it's still incredibly difficult to find all these options, despite the fact that tactics are my strong point. I think you overestimate people.
@@edmondt848 Thats all good but you wont ever be Fishers level just by doing those things. After a certain time you will hit the ceilling after which your rating wont ever increase. Fisher had a deep understanding of chess and he was able was able to find best moves even in abosolutely new positions you would never be able to do that just by doing the things you said.
if you have curiosity about the way Kasparov used to analyze his own games, take a look to Seirawan's book, Chess Duels, when the author tells and impressive moment, back in 1981, when Gary was just a kid (18 years old), and he made a deep analysis of his game against Spassky. In Yasser Seirawan words: "All that Spassky could say was yes, of course, yes, of course, while Gary analyzed his game with absolute mastery. After that hour watching him....Jan, Ljubo and me reuturned to the hotel in complete silence, still absorted by this incredible talent"
@@nza1804 Thanks to you, but my best advice is to read "Chess duels", one of the best chess books ever written. Very, very entertaining anecdotes and stories of the enconunters between Seirawan and the world champions (Smyslov, Tahl, Petrosian, Spassky, Fischer, Kárpov and Kaspárov).
2:10 At my modest level in chess, I'm so impressed at how they remember the whole game, and during their analysis, when finished exploring a certain variation, they can just from their memory set up a previous position many moves before without even appearing to think about it!
"So what?" If he kills _that_ particular bishop, then at least five choirboys won't be molested.* [*] Although one bishop is fully capable of molesting thousands of choirboys in just one year, I'd used the cardinal number "five" to avoid scaring children. Another reason was because Father McKenzie, for instance, was only proven to _molest_ seven choirboys in his lifetime; after that, he began brutally raping them instead.
The way he snickers gives me the chills. There are so many variations and outcomes that it seems humanly impossible to calculate that many moves in that sitting.
That's why he didn't calculate them. He was able to intuit that he had an overwhelming force without having to actually calculate it. By now computers are far better than humans at chess because they can calculate so much deeper and with perfect accuracy, but humans are still a lot better than computers at doing exactly what Kasparov did in this game: Intuitively recognizing advantageous patterns.
I saw a documentary on Kasparov once, he remembers all the phone numbers he has ever dialed something to that effect over 10,000. Magnus Carlsen has memorized over 10,000 Grand master tournament chess games, and can recall a particular position or middle game position on a particular board. Amazing!!! So I think memorizing all opening theory is a walk in the park for him, hence a superior advantage.
@@GreyZonex Not if you study it and its your life. Concert classical pianists can play a 45 min symphony and longer from memory. You would be surprised what your mind can hold. Think of how many songs you can sing along with. Ill bet its in the 100s. Word for word and hear the melody and guitar and bass.
@@sfgox10 Chess is a language too. It all makes a lot of sense when it's connected. It's not just "he can memorize it". No. He UNDERSTANDS IT, and use it in his advantage.
Incredible when you realise that GK is doing this to Karpov !! Who was World Champion for ten years from 1975 to 1985. Karpov in his heyday and pomp hardly ever lost a game and he was never outplayed and outclassed like this by anyone. I doubt that even Fischer at his peak could have done this to Karpov !!
actually the score between them is really close,i think 2 point difference,so their competitive strength was about equal..Karpov was really good at countering your strategies,thats why Kasparov tried to win by tactics and complications,otherwise it would be like 98 draws 1 win and 1 loss
Karpov after he got the title when crazy on tourney he had a record or still have winning most tourney in the history of chess just to proof he earned that tile. Karpov was great chess champion. @@sadboitimes9012
I don't even know those ones. Here they are called The Lunatic and The Horse Then you have The Tower, and instead of Queen, it is literally called "The B*tch" xD
Kasparov, Alekhine and Capablanca are and will always be my most favorite players of all times. Greatest playets of all times, in my humble opinion. Kasparov's attack, Alekhine's ultra deep combinations and Capablanca's perfect and error-free move choices. What magicians!
@@Count.Dracula46 about not including neither fisher, magnus, morphy, nor lasker in the list these are the true greatest players of thier times they were unmatcheble in their primes, lasker was a champ for 27 years, morphy probably had the greatest gap between him and other players of his time, fisher litteraly managed to defeat one of the biggest countries in history, tens of USSR 's best players were helping boris to prepare while fisher only had himself and his trainer, and lastly magnus carlsen currently demonstrates the level of chess understanding that has never been seen before, he is without a doubt the best player that ever existed, he is the true mozart of chess, especially the endgames, the are super accurate and Carlsen doesn't blunder, maybe alekhine and capablanca were geniuses but the guys I listed were much better. (P. S. I agree about Kasparov, he is also one of the goats)
@@thunder9793 Fischer was amazing too, and I love his playstyle a lot. About Carlsen, he had and has the chess engines and database of millions of games and openings available to him. Capablanca had engine level accuracy a whole century before. As much as I love and respect Morphy and Dr Lasker, nothing comes even close to the beauty of Alekhine's chess. And btw, Malik Mir Sultan Khan was hands down the most amazing and genius chess player of recorded history.
@@Count.Dracula46 Don't underestimate Carlsen just for him havimg engines, engines can't help in the endgame or in the late middlegame, they do help you with openings and also show you your mistakes but blaming magnus's success solely on engines and databases is wrong cause every other player today also has it but magnus still manages to dominate and had 5 world titles which is a very serious feat, also I agree that alekhine was a great tactician but mikhail tal's games are much more beautiful and interesting to watch and can youbplease explaine by which logic you put malik sultan khan above all the players that i have listed
Kasparov is the best player in chess ever! Yeah Carlsen has a higher rating now but Kasparov "invented it all". I'm not saying Carlsen is "a copycat" but I'm only saying he is continueing what Kasparov started decades ago. Carlsen is a skilled player who can turn a seemingly tied middlegame into his win but Kasparov could sacrifice and still win along with these multidimensional combinations we just saw here against Karpov. No question, Kasparov is the best chess player ever this far.
+elijah shypitsyn his sharpness of mind is underestimated by many because of his draw before loss attitude but when the big games were on the line he brought out one of the best attackers to play the game
I have a problem with your statement . Computers have changed the history of chess ,as means of transport did . Bobby Fischer ,for me ,is still the best ,because he became the WC all by himself ,without our actual technology .
to me..Kasparov played a lot of moves that , by being taught by the book, would have lost the game. However, he 'knew' it should work and it more than less did. It was just a master at work. I still think RJF would beat him in a match, though. Just because of RJF masterful knowledge of theory.
I love how excited he tells and shows how genius his position is, you can tell he is proud of how infallible it is, hey! I would be aswell, the position is just perfect
5:55 im very glad the interviewer could explain the concept of checkmate to kasparov. Don't know if kasparov understood such a complicated concept without an explanation
Fantastic battles between two great players at that time in chess history I was lucky enough to be able to get tickets for the London leg of their 1986 World Championship match. Life is a bizarre journey for me because in 2000 I gave up a job in pro football to become a full-time chess coach and when Gary came to a London book signing at the old Euston chess shop I went along and with thousands of others lined up to meet him. I got his attention when I asked him to sign his autobiography and he asked me what I thought of the book. I still treasure that book it is hidden in my library with thousands of other books.
I once played a grandmaster who as a handicap to help me took his queen and one rook off the board at the start of the game. Long story short I was check-mated by the 8th move.
Azeroth Gthotel I don't know of anyone that has called someone an idiot and meant "facepalm" lol, when I call someone an idiot I mean idiot. But if you say so.
I don't think Kasparov will get enough credit in years to come. I think chess players will always get better over time, but that is because of the engines and computer study resources available. Kasparov learned to play at this level without any of that
Kasparov's record against Karpov isn't exactly what you would call tremendous, though... out of 178(!!!) games they played against eachother, 129 were draws... Kasparov won 28 times, and Lost 21 times. I think for the most part they are pretty closely matched.
@@Bartooc Using your logic if they drew 200 times, Kasparov won once and Karpov had no wins Kasparov would've been in a different league due to the 100% win ratio, right?
+IsraelsRealm That's really untrue what Fischer said. It just takes mental discipline. Chess is a rich game of imagination, calculation, and training the mind. With practice and awareness of basic strategies, anyone can become at least a master level.
- No. If you do that, I'm gonna do that. If you do that, I'm gonna do that. If you do this, I'm gonna do that. - Well, what if I just do this? - You don't want to do that.
I ran stockfish on this position at 2:46, instead of pawn takes b2 the most powerful move was Nf4 stopping the rook and attacking the bishop wow, unbelievable how these computers can do these powerful moves that grandmasters couldn't see.
People forget that this was when computers werent yet so strong like today, computers made GM's better and the rating went up... Kasparov had 2800 ELO before modern times. Thats why hes the greatest for me. That ELO in the 80s would be 2900+ today.

The earlier you resign , the smarter you appear.

+Mojjj Wait. If you move white pawn to E5 at the start you make imposible move and you will be suspended. And in this case the oponent automaticly wins.
+DarkEssence kasparov must have given away the first move (being the better player)
+Mojjj lol 1 e5 is illigal :D so u would just lose right away no need to resign :)
Hahaha
+Mojjj this is funny anyway
narrator: Karpov concedes
subtitles: Carved pumpkin seeds
makes sense. xDD
🤣🤣
This must look incredibly advanced for a beginner player, but if we break it down a little bit we can come to the conclusion that a lot of people can make the calculation from the video's starting position. The hard part is reaching the strong position that allow all the tactics to work and that is truly the masterful play!
I have 2200 on lichess, and it's still incredibly difficult to find all these options, despite the fact that tactics are my strong point. I think you overestimate people.

@@edmondt848 Thats all good but you wont ever be Fishers level just by doing those things. After a certain time you will hit the ceilling after which your rating wont ever increase.

Raymond Dudley I'm a guy and thx, glad you weren't board. haha
if you have curiosity about the way Kasparov used to analyze his own games, take a look to Seirawan's book, Chess Duels, when the author tells and impressive moment, back in 1981, when Gary was just a kid (18 years old), and he made a deep analysis of his game against Spassky. In Yasser Seirawan words:
"All that Spassky could say was yes, of course, yes, of course, while Gary analyzed his game with absolute mastery. After that hour watching him....Jan, Ljubo and me reuturned to the hotel in complete silence, still absorted by this incredible talent"
Amazing story, cheers for sharing it
Yeah that's a cool anecdote.
Yasser's always that cool dude, he made the chess atmosphere a little lighter
@@nza1804 Thanks to you, but my best advice is to read "Chess duels", one of the best chess books ever written. Very, very entertaining anecdotes and stories of the enconunters between Seirawan and the world champions (Smyslov, Tahl, Petrosian, Spassky, Fischer, Kárpov and Kaspárov).
@@corkystorky Yeah, he is a wonderful commentator, but his relationship with Gari has improved a lot since both retired from professional chess
The key takeaway is that both Kasparov and Karpov likely saw these lines. The decisive difference is that Kasparov saw it all one move earlier.
2:10 At my modest level in chess, I'm so impressed at how they remember the whole game, and during their analysis, when finished exploring a certain variation, they can just from their memory set up a previous position many moves before without even appearing to think about it!
2:49 best part hhahaha There is no defense... snfsnfsnfsnf
Ludi DaVinci LOL... :D
can someone explain why is that not a stalemate?
nevermind i see it
Wonderful.
Lol stupid
Now I understood how fantastic is human mind to calculate these many variations....................
at the highest level of thinking....multiple processes become intuition.
I love the analysis board. The coordinates are not pointing towards either player, but to those watching. Helped a lot to keep up with them
Videos like this (not just about chess) actually make you appreciate the beauty of games/sports
I love the way Kasparov talks "He kill the bishop... so what?".
+ChaoYun yeah and that's make you a good person by saying that...
+Alex Bonesteel Reminds me of Jose Mourinho
The only important piece is a King. The others are a means to the W
"So what?" If he kills _that_ particular bishop, then at least five choirboys won't be molested.*
[*] Although one bishop is fully capable of molesting thousands of choirboys in just one year, I'd used the cardinal number "five" to avoid scaring children. Another reason was because Father McKenzie, for instance, was only proven to _molest_ seven choirboys in his lifetime; after that, he began brutally raping them instead.
@Hadi Purwanto Read the footnote.
I felt my IQ jump 20 points by just watching this video.
Look how happy he is explaining his strategies. King of the nerds!!
An ultimate nerd
Kasparov really does prove the old saying 'Genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration' ....he was an incredibly hard worker off and on the board
Even when he was young they all knew he was gonna be world champion one day... crazy talent to begin with, then add the insane work ethic.
Child like genius, what a player, what a move, he brought chess to life for me when I was learning.
I love Kasparov's games and Kasparov's person.
Thank you for uploading this video, I enjoyed it a lot!
I didnt know Jose Mourinho plays chess
Oh man, u made my day
Is this for the voice or for the face ?
B GDouff face
B GDouff Voico to
I heff nussing to say
Me: E5
Kasparov: Mate in 37 moves.
... 37 moves later...
Kasparov: Checkmate.
lol
How can you play e5 at the first move? sorry for my english
+Carlos Alberto Well, you can play e5 first move if you're black
+arsenalfanrichi
But normally whites play first
+arsenalfanrichi
Well
is possible play with black first but...
The way he snickers gives me the chills. There are so many variations and outcomes that it seems humanly impossible to calculate that many moves in that sitting.
That's why he didn't calculate them. He was able to intuit that he had an overwhelming force without having to actually calculate it.
By now computers are far better than humans at chess because they can calculate so much deeper and with perfect accuracy, but humans are still a lot better than computers at doing exactly what Kasparov did in this game: Intuitively recognizing advantageous patterns.
I come back to watch this video every month, First watched it about 5 years ago. Started playing chess ever since
I saw a documentary on Kasparov once, he remembers all the phone numbers he has ever dialed something to that effect over 10,000. Magnus Carlsen has memorized over 10,000 Grand master tournament chess games, and can recall a particular position or middle game position on a particular board. Amazing!!!
So I think memorizing all opening theory is a walk in the park for him, hence a superior advantage.
10.000 would be autistic.
@@sebaba001 Dude.. try one. Just try to play a full game and memorise all the moves.
Remembering over 50 is autistic level.
@@GreyZonex Not if you study it and its your life. Concert classical pianists can play a 45 min symphony and longer from memory. You would be surprised what your mind can hold. Think of how many songs you can sing along with. Ill bet its in the 100s. Word for word and hear the melody and guitar and bass.
@@Yngsatchvai music is a language, its different
@@sfgox10 Chess is a language too. It all makes a lot of sense when it's connected. It's not just "he can memorize it". No. He UNDERSTANDS IT, and use it in his advantage.
its absolutely stunning he can calculate everything in the right way!
I could beat Kasparov............in Snakes and ladders ! :)
+irelandbloke That's not chess. ..haha

No. 1
Красава))
Fun fact, you get that Elo from surrendering at your first game, so just play Kasparov and do that :D
Elo, not ELO. It's a surname, not an acronym.
Incredible when you realise that GK is doing this to Karpov !! Who was World Champion for ten years from 1975 to 1985. Karpov in his heyday and pomp hardly ever lost a game and he was never outplayed and outclassed like this by anyone. I doubt that even Fischer at his peak could have done this to Karpov !!
skyrim no wait for your business
actually the score between them is really close,i think 2 point difference,so their competitive strength was about equal..Karpov was really good at countering your strategies,thats why Kasparov tried to win by tactics and complications,otherwise it would be like 98 draws 1 win and 1 loss
You seem to be forgetting that Karpov became World Champion by default. Fischer would have whooped his ass if his requirements had been met.
Karpov after he got the title when crazy on tourney he had a record or still have winning most tourney in the history of chess just to proof he earned that tile. Karpov was great chess champion. @@sadboitimes9012
@@sadboitimes9012 Fischer refused to play; that's a loss in my book
The speed in which Kasparov moves the pieces around the board is so unbelievable in my opinion… wow
6:36
*shifts in chair*
Clearly overcome with a burst of immense emotion
It is also impressive that the interviewer was able to keep up with Kasparov and understand and respond quickly.
I know some of those words
I don't even know those ones.
Here they are called The Lunatic and The Horse
Then you have The Tower, and instead of Queen, it is literally called "The B*tch" xD

Kasparov, Alekhine and Capablanca are and will always be my most favorite players of all times. Greatest playets of all times, in my humble opinion. Kasparov's attack, Alekhine's ultra deep combinations and Capablanca's perfect and error-free move choices. What magicians!
nah mann u wrong afffg
@@thunder9793 about what?
@@Count.Dracula46 about not including neither fisher, magnus, morphy, nor lasker in the list these are the true greatest players of thier times they were unmatcheble in their primes, lasker was a champ for 27 years, morphy probably had the greatest gap between him and other players of his time, fisher litteraly managed to defeat one of the biggest countries in history, tens of USSR 's best players were helping boris to prepare while fisher only had himself and his trainer, and lastly magnus carlsen currently demonstrates the level of chess understanding that has never been seen before, he is without a doubt the best player that ever existed, he is the true mozart of chess, especially the endgames, the are super accurate and Carlsen doesn't blunder, maybe alekhine and capablanca were geniuses but the guys I listed were much better. (P. S. I agree about Kasparov, he is also one of the goats)
@@thunder9793 Fischer was amazing too, and I love his playstyle a lot. About Carlsen, he had and has the chess engines and database of millions of games and openings available to him. Capablanca had engine level accuracy a whole century before. As much as I love and respect Morphy and Dr Lasker, nothing comes even close to the beauty of Alekhine's chess. And btw, Malik Mir Sultan Khan was hands down the most amazing and genius chess player of recorded history.
@@Count.Dracula46 Don't underestimate Carlsen just for him havimg engines, engines can't help in the endgame or in the late middlegame, they do help you with openings and also show you your mistakes but blaming magnus's success solely on engines and databases is wrong cause every other player today also has it but magnus still manages to dominate and had 5 world titles which is a very serious feat, also I agree that alekhine was a great tactician but mikhail tal's games are much more beautiful and interesting to watch and can youbplease explaine by which logic you put malik sultan khan above all the players that i have listed
Kasparov is the best player in chess ever! Yeah Carlsen has a higher rating now but Kasparov "invented it all". I'm not saying Carlsen is "a copycat" but I'm only saying he is continueing what Kasparov started decades ago. Carlsen is a skilled player who can turn a seemingly tied middlegame into his win but Kasparov could sacrifice and still win along with these multidimensional combinations we just saw here against Karpov. No question, Kasparov is the best chess player ever this far.
I think Petrosian was the best of all time
+elijah shypitsyn his sharpness of mind is underestimated by many because of his draw before loss attitude but when the big games were on the line he brought out one of the best attackers to play the game
+elijah shypitsyn draw before win* is what I meant he didn't go for the throat till his opponent messed up for the most part
I have a problem with your statement .
Computers have changed the history of chess ,as means of transport did .
Bobby Fischer ,for me ,is still the best ,because he became the WC all by himself ,without our actual technology .
to me..Kasparov played a lot of moves that , by being taught by the book, would have lost the game. However, he 'knew' it should work and it more than less did. It was just a master at work. I still think RJF would beat him in a match, though. Just because of RJF masterful knowledge of theory.
Kasparov will be always one of the best players for me.
when he was younger he used to look like pete sampras ^^
Tennis fan
agreeded
both champions!
Never played chess In my life. Why am I watching this? It's amazing.
Holy crap, he is moving faster than I can think. Respect.
4:51 That evil laugh when he just mated you, and brings home your girl !!
I was searching for someone who noticed!
Haha
İ am laughing with same way
The other way around actually.
First he'll mate your king, then he'll mate your queen.
Explanation from the perspective of numbers:
10 attackers (11% more) - 9 defenders
5 attackers (25% more) - 4 defenders
4 attackers (33% more) - 3 defenders
3 attackers (50% more) - 2 defenders
2 attackers (100% more) - 1 defender
quantity PLUS quality (think about 2x Knights vs 1x Queen).
turn on subtitles, its hilarious!

I love how excited he tells and shows how genius his position is, you can tell he is proud of how infallible it is, hey! I would be aswell, the position is just perfect
5:55 im very glad the interviewer could explain the concept of checkmate to kasparov.
Don't know if kasparov understood such a complicated concept without an explanation
He giggles like a kid... which clearly shows how much he enjoys mixing up his moves.
That's how I used to do it.

Fantastic battles between two great players at that time in chess history I was lucky enough to be able to get tickets for the London leg of their 1986 World Championship match. Life is a bizarre journey for me because in 2000 I gave up a job in pro football to become a full-time chess coach and when Gary came to a London book signing at the old Euston chess shop I went along and with thousands of others lined up to meet him. I got his attention when I asked him to sign his autobiography and he asked me what I thought of the book. I still treasure that book it is hidden in my library with thousands of other books.
I once played a grandmaster who as a handicap to help me took his queen and one rook off the board at the start of the game. Long story short I was check-mated by the 8th move.
Hey that's cheating. If he didn't have the queen he couldn't have blundered it
At the start, the rook and queen are hardly used
Turn subtitles on watch 2:32.
Thank me later
and 2:04 :D "you have a nice investment which is a rogue cop"
god dam :D what is wrong with you youtube !?!? :,D
Will thank you on "night of seven chicken" 😂
XD
2:23 is more hilarious!! You can go with his wife!!??😂😂😂😂😂😂
Right, well I'm glad he cleared that up !!
And how the heck Kasparov could foresee all the future moves in mind in such a time limit?? Damn! genius!
Why is it that I can barely play chess but am still fascinated by chess videos and could listen to this forever. Especially Kasparov.
The way his face lights up when talking about his calculations is adorable
Why on earth, me in this late night who don't understand about chess still watch this freakin' video.
@hagard hagards whoa chill out Einstein
@Czterdziestysiódmy okay Gaylord
For the same reason you would watch an orchestra even tho you don't play any instrument :)

kkkkkkkk
HOW DID THE OTHER GUY UNDERSTAND???
He's a GM
Azeroth Gthotel GM = Grand Master in chess, game master is for games like MMOs
Azeroth Gthotel lol, so you call me idiot because you made a terrible and unfunny joke and I couldn't see it? okay...
Azeroth Gthotel I don't know of anyone that has called someone an idiot and meant "facepalm" lol, when I call someone an idiot I mean idiot.
But if you say so.
Mike Porter Which guy of them? I don't know who won! :(
The way he puts the pieces back on the board so quickly is oddly satisfying
I have just experienced a strange feeling. I did not understand a mere second of this content, yet I somehow felt Kasparov´s greatness.
I don't think Kasparov will get enough credit in years to come. I think chess players will always get better over time, but that is because of the engines and computer study resources available. Kasparov learned to play at this level without any of that
People don’t remember probably now. But Karpov was so unbelievably good as well. You should interview him too 👍🏻
Kasparov's record against Karpov isn't exactly what you would call tremendous, though... out of 178(!!!) games they played against eachother, 129 were draws... Kasparov won 28 times, and Lost 21 times. I think for the most part they are pretty closely matched.
yes they have the one of the greatest rivalries i think in any sport ever
How many of them were in fight for the title? Not really fair comparison.
That is 57% winrate for Kasparov, that is pretty huge.
@@Bartooc Using your logic if they drew 200 times, Kasparov won once and Karpov had no wins Kasparov would've been in a different league due to the 100% win ratio, right?
@@89Pleasek You are right i disregarded the draws. Including the draws the win rate is 52% for Kasparov or +14 ELO difference.
I love Kasparov. His dramatic body language is so entertaining.
You do what you love with all your passion and all your time, you become a master.
The only thing I learned from this video is that i'll never be someone great at chess.
***** Exactly.
+IsraelsRealm That's really untrue what Fischer said. It just takes mental discipline. Chess is a rich game of imagination, calculation, and training the mind. With practice and awareness of basic strategies, anyone can become at least a master level.
@@Christoff070 What Fischer said, anyone can be a good player, but great, no.
The speed this man's mind works is incredible.
- No. If you do that, I'm gonna do that. If you do that, I'm gonna do that. If you do this, I'm gonna do that.
- Well, what if I just do this?
- You don't want to do that.
I ran stockfish on this position at 2:46, instead of pawn takes b2 the most powerful move was Nf4 stopping the rook and attacking the bishop wow, unbelievable how these computers can do these powerful moves that grandmasters couldn't see.
People forget that this was when computers werent yet so strong like today, computers made GM's better and the rating went up... Kasparov had 2800 ELO before modern times. Thats why hes the greatest for me. That ELO in the 80s would be 2900+ today.
