Brilliance is brilliance and is marvelous to watch regardless of nationality. Seeing a brilliant person emerge shouldn't be viewed as a credit to one nation or another but to humanity as a whole
are they showing the moves on a screen or something? because im wondering what are those people looking at, are all the spectators looking at a screen showing the game or are they just sitting to watch the players facial expressions for hours.
Topalov in another video was commenting on the game and subsequent retirement of Kasparov. He stated in a honest and profound way how there will never be another player like Kasparov. He dominated chess longer than anyone ever, 25 years and had the highest rating. RESPECT to both and especially Topalov for him humbly giving his admiration for the greatest player of all time.
It's a good thing he retired (from a health perspective). He looks so stressed everytime he plays. He needs to stay away from the chessboard. He's contributed plenty enough already.
This guy was just amazing at the board. I was watching to that game through internet, trying to find some espace for him, but topalov just played very nicely. After the game, that announcement was just hard to digest. No one could believe that he was serious on what he was saying.
just showcasing kasparov's facial expressions is chess history. no other player has captivated our imagination more than kasparov. the others just dont have that same appeal that kasparov has. this is a nice video.
Karpov is the Rolling Stones of chess, still going even though the returns are diminishing every year. Kasparov foraw that he would go the same way and decided to quit while his reputation was still intact.
12? It's actually 7. That's the maximum length for tournament games (2 hours each for the first 40 moves, then 1 hour for next 20, then 30 minutes to finish). And most top players still have coaches of sorts, although not in the same way as lower level players of course.
Kasparov has a pretty artistic persona.I think his acting skills went up with his age or he just doesn't give a fuck anymore.Anyways i'm starting to like him.
Thanks for posting this video. I wonder what went through his mind during this game. Anyway, I hope he comes back to chess where he belongs. It's like Bach retiring from composing in the middle of his career. He is certainly the best player ever to have moved a chess piece.
Topalov looks like a destroyer in this video. Kasparov is showing all kinds of stress; bug eyes, getting up from the chair, shaking his head...while Topalov is always just off-camera, never moving, and we never see any sign of strain from him.
It would have been nice to have a few shots of Topalov in this clip. Was he acting the opposite of Garry, smiling, nodding, chuckling, grinning, twirling his pen triumphantly, winking and giving the thumbs-up to the audience, taking out a picture of his girl and kissing it, all on the way to beating Garry?
And Fischer was (is?)a very aggressive player - he was never waiting for mistakes of enemies like Kasparov and Kramnik did. Look at some games of Fischer at chessgames - compared to Fischer, Kasparov played his whole life like a 2400.
@nicoeste8765 I remember watching the game live over the internet. Kasparov resigned in a pawn-down endgame situation. It was odd, because it was not clear exactly why Topalov was winning. I analyzed the final position with a master. We found the way to force the win, but it was, like, a 20 move deep analysis and took nearly an hour for us to figure out.
@damthatriver09 When playing multiple games at once, he is playing novice players(compared to him) who make mistakes or don't take advantage of his mistakes , when playing other grandmasters, one mistake ends the game.
I must be missing something. Why was this video posted, it looks unremarkable to me. Kasparov looks annoyed and bemused but that is hardly unusual for a grandmaster who is losing!
I don't think there is bad blood between topalov and kasparov. it would have been nice if there was a handshake, but it seems that kasparov was flustered by his loss and it didn't enter his mind. i mean, this isn't a case like kramnik-topalov.
Let's get down to the truth. If Bobby Fischer of 1972 had played Garry Kasparov back then by pure match play, Fischer would annihilate him. Yes, Kasparov is mathematically the best player of all time. However, the only reputable title defense Kasparov played was Karpov. Karpov is a legend.
Fischer went a little nutsy after he became world champ. If he wasn't a little unstable he would have never gotten there in the first place. I doubt it was possible to keep him in the game in his condition but if he somehow did I wouldn't doubt that he'd keep the title for a while longer.
When Fischer faced Spassky in 1992, Spassky wasnt active too. And if you consider that Fischer wasnt playing chess for whole 20 years - then a 2400 Elo is more than respectable
Parabens KASPAROV por tudo que fez pelo xadrez, e peça perdão FIDE por toda a patifaria que fez nos ultimos 30 anos tentando manter Karpov como campeão
jungenbum, like many other games or sport, chess appeals to a certain type of individual. i love to see my opponent squirm when i make a good move. inversely, i go through similar facial distortions when on the receiving end of one. so, this 7-min video is only about the phenomenon, and the experience is very commonamong those who compete.
He knew he'd retire after this game and he was already the winner of the tournament, I guess he never manage to focus on this one last game in this situation.
@alexmagnus1 Bro, Karpov and Kasparov are almost identical in terms of playing. Other than Karpov who did we have? Fischer dominated for an entire decade with far better talent. Mikhail Tal, Boris Spassky, Tigran Petrosian. All world champions and in their prime except for Mikhail Botvinnick who bobby did play during his reign as champion. Garry had no one, until Anand came in and took over. Thats why we kept seeing karpov and kasparov. They were the only ones and they were young.
Its difficult to say fisher was the greatest ever. Greatness is many things other than being the best in the world for a short period of time. Fisher had the potential to be the greatest ever, but kasparov actually did it
There is no way Fischer would have got anywhere near 2900; only a few have broken the 2800 barrier. As great as Fischer was he could defeat himself quite easily long before he got to the board. This quality of his makes me think that he wouldn't have even broken the 2800 barrier.
"I'm pretty sure I left my wife's grocery list somewhere around here. I keep checking the bathroom...I'll just give Topalov the win. I'd rather resign and look for it now than face her wrath for losing it. And her favorite grocery store would be closed soon. Drats."
well i guess kramnik was never competitive then because he never acted AT ALL like this when he lost his WCC.. times changed. It's different with tens of thousands of viewers live.
Wow, for some reason I thought Kasparov won this game and all that head shaking was because he was pissed off that Topalov was being a spoilsport and refusing to resign early. Then I read the description and realized my mistake. Lol.
fishcer could have a 2900-3000 rating if the world keep a compete with him after Spassky being wiped. fischer is beyond all grandmasters' and kasparov's rating.
@legalrule I said nothing about the program. The program barely matters the only real difference is the opening book and the calculation logic if it has a weak processor behind it (the computer) it doesn't matter for shit. Deep Blue could calculate a million moves per second because of the man power put into it. Hard to hide such a beast.
@alexmagnus1 Fischer was like 300 elo points above everyone else? yeah he didnt do good in 72 but up to that point he demolished the competition. He went undefeated for long amounts of time. from like 58-72 he was by the best. Head and shoulders above everyone. Karpov and many others said Fischer would have beat him in the 75 match. Come on man. Come on man. By the way in 72 he blundered in the first game and then withdrew from the second. Came back 0-2 to win the championship.
Fischer became world champ 1972 and didnt played competition chess for 10 years when Kasparov decided to challenge Fischer. I mean. Chess is sports. And to be good in sports you have to practice regularly - even if you are extremly talented, you wont win a cucumber without training. So, should Bobby began to train only because Kasparov wanted a game - come on, thats ridiculous
Fischer was afraid.not only from somebody but from losing.i really dont think that he would stay champion long enough like Kasparov did.dont overestimate.win and run is not champion.
Yes, a psychological ploy, one assumes. It's quite normal for players to get up during a tournament game. Nobody wants to sit in a chair for 6+ hours straight
heyy where is he going all the time whi leaving the stage after each move?? topalov must be geting use whit this!Kramnik does it Kasparov does it and all vs Topalov.
@heikg I play otb chess and I must say that I find it really irritating play someone that jumps up after every move. Chessplayers are full of weirdos though. Some don't bathe, fart at the board, pick their nose, mumble etc.
@alexmagnus1 Steintz is also in my top 10; Yet mastery of the game goes to Fishcer. You can make arguments Kasparov, steintz etc lasted longer than Fischer did. And if you judge greatness that way then thats fine. A prime fischer, if you placed him any era he would excel over everyone. Bobby trained and studied more than any other player alive. THATS ALL HE DID. he didnt go bang his wife, he didnt go fishing. He was the michael Jordan of chess. And with computer programs today it would crazy
still make no sense ? O.K. i gonna explain. Three days ago Lord Malshun played at playchess with Elo 3020 against Muisback with Elo 3090. They played 4 games and Muisback never had a chance!!! So compared to Muisback Lord Malshun played like a 3300-3400 - i hope now you understand, otherwise there is no logical explanation for my conclusion.
How does that logic work? If Kasparov or Topalov were really using the computer then they certainly would've have BOTH lost. See how this simple logic works?
Wow that was painfull. Nothing like a nice friendly game of Stress! Watching someone being tortured and tormented is so cool. These guys have to be masochist to want to play this game at this level?
@legalrule Because there was no sign of a hulking two ton behemoth of machine. The computer that beat Kasparov was two separate pieces of equipment that had a multitude of men monitoring it. Kasparov was beat with a SUPER computer made ONLY to play chess IBM spent millions on the game only to probably have cheated. Since IBM hasn't released any more super computer's with a chess primary then it had to have been a basic or at least a weak scomp at most either way not as strong as Kaspy,
Tough to see him go out on a loss, but at least he still won the tournament.
cause he want the funk!
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER KASPAROV..
krasavchik!!! bakinec!!! Respect
Kasparov, the man of million faces!
Brilliance is brilliance and is marvelous to watch regardless of nationality. Seeing a brilliant person emerge shouldn't be viewed as a credit to one nation or another but to humanity as a whole

Topalov 1-0 Kasparov (But Kasparov win the tournament)...Topalov beat Kasparov in this game..
just showcasing kasparov's facial expressions is chess history. no other player has captivated our imagination more than kasparov. the others just dont have that same appeal that kasparov has. this is a nice video.

@KillerCheebo many people like to take a walk while playing... refresh the mind in long winded games.
1. Kasparov
2. Kasparov
3. Anand
4. Topalov
And Fischer was (is?)a very aggressive player - he was never waiting for mistakes of enemies like Kasparov and Kramnik did.
Look at some games of Fischer at chessgames - compared to Fischer, Kasparov played his whole life like a 2400.
what an actor - I would complain that this was distracting me!
He always recommended to leave the table to relief the stress of the game. and he always did that. dont know how often though.
He's the lord of chess... he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone...He's the man.
why didnt they shake hands at the end? :(
@nicoeste8765 I remember watching the game live over the internet. Kasparov resigned in a pawn-down endgame situation. It was odd, because it was not clear exactly why Topalov was winning. I analyzed the final position with a master. We found the way to force the win, but it was, like, a 20 move deep analysis and took nearly an hour for us to figure out.
the fuck are you talking about the combination is extremely simple :D:D:D
kasparov simply gets up from the boRDD THE PRESSURE IS GREAT. ARGUABLE THE GREATEST CPE SO HIS LAST GAME COUNTED FOR SOMETHING HUGE!
KASPAROV LOST THE GAME AGAINST THIS BULGARIAN!
@damthatriver09 When playing multiple games at once, he is playing novice players(compared to him) who make mistakes or don't take advantage of his mistakes , when playing other grandmasters, one mistake ends the game.
What was the end result of this game? Because i cant tell
He was not impolite - he smiled at Topalov and talked to him and then went away.
is he afraid to fart at the table or should i worry about bladder problems in my older age?
hes a fun personality of chess
I must be missing something. Why was this video posted, it looks unremarkable to me. Kasparov looks annoyed and bemused but that is hardly unusual for a grandmaster who is losing!
most masters at their own respective arts have a nack for that particular art and it was noticed early and developed.
I don't think there is bad blood between topalov and kasparov. it would have been nice if there was a handshake, but it seems that kasparov was flustered by his loss and it didn't enter his mind. i mean, this isn't a case like kramnik-topalov.
What was the end result of this game?
how can this be his last game and lost yet win the tournament? was there no final. just sum of effort?
a champion should stay and defend his title and risk it, but Fischer is still one of the best ever.
Let's get down to the truth. If Bobby Fischer of 1972 had played Garry Kasparov back then by pure match play, Fischer would annihilate him. Yes, Kasparov is mathematically the best player of all time. However, the only reputable title defense Kasparov played was Karpov. Karpov is a legend.

2.10: please wait while i make an inconspicuous retreat and input the position in fritz 11...
Parabens KASPAROV por tudo que fez pelo xadrez, e peça perdão FIDE por toda a patifaria que fez nos ultimos 30 anos tentando manter Karpov como campeão
why is he leaving a few times?
He's very expressive.
jungenbum, like many other games or sport, chess appeals to a certain type of individual. i love to see my opponent squirm when i make a good move. inversely, i go through similar facial distortions when on the receiving end of one. so, this 7-min video is only about the phenomenon, and the experience is very commonamong those who compete.
on move 20 he gets a draw with Qf2+
even after 21 Qf1 Black has Qd8 ~0.00 Qxf1 just trades out to an inferior endgame.
when was he imprisoned?
He knew he'd retire after this game and he was already the winner of the tournament, I guess he never manage to focus on this one last game in this situation.
How is he?
indeed he would. this is a very strong insight.
who won ?
Wow, I never expected him to be so emotional.
This comment like age my brother
@alexmagnus1
Bro, Karpov and Kasparov are almost identical in terms of playing. Other than Karpov who did we have? Fischer dominated for an entire decade with far better talent. Mikhail Tal, Boris Spassky, Tigran Petrosian. All world champions and in their prime except for Mikhail Botvinnick who bobby did play during his reign as champion. Garry had no one, until Anand came in and took over. Thats why we kept seeing karpov and kasparov. They were the only ones and they were young.
it's Garry not Gary
Kasparov retired after this game. Yes indeed he is still alive. Many Chess lovers await a come-back. Kasparov now has entered the political arena.
Its difficult to say fisher was the greatest ever. Greatness is many things other than being the best in the world for a short period of time. Fisher had the potential to be the greatest ever, but kasparov actually did it
There is no way Fischer would have got anywhere near 2900; only a few have broken the 2800 barrier. As great as Fischer was he could defeat himself quite easily long before he got to the board. This quality of his makes me think that he wouldn't have even broken the 2800 barrier.
Science had Albert Einstein, Martial Arts had Bruce Lee, Chess had Garry Kasparov...
6:50 topalov like a schoolboy: hmm which move did i make there? while Garry is totally disgusted
you are allowed to just get up and walk around constantly -> including out of the room
yes but i think in capablanca, karpov and carlsen too
"I'm pretty sure I left my wife's grocery list somewhere around here. I keep checking the bathroom...I'll just give Topalov the win. I'd rather resign and look for it now than face her wrath for losing it. And her favorite grocery store would be closed soon. Drats."

3:24 Kasparov ??
Little did he know topalov would overtake kasparov then anand
he played against Vesko Topalov, that player hasnt developed to his best, yet. He will be the new Kasparov
fishcer could have a 2900-3000 rating if the world keep a compete with him after Spassky being wiped. fischer is beyond all grandmasters' and kasparov's rating.
i love the face expressions of Garry :)
garry looks bewildered
@legalrule I said nothing about the program.

a cucumber without training.
So, should Bobby began to train only because
Kasparov wanted a game - come on, thats ridiculous
@warblerab This can be by point count.
very strange how he gets up every 5 minutes.....
And why are you just repeating the same clips over and over.
He need format his own memory :)
Fischer was afraid.not only from somebody but from losing.i really dont think that he would stay champion long enough like Kasparov did.dont overestimate.win and run is not champion.
Yes, a psychological ploy, one assumes. It's quite normal for players to get up during a tournament game. Nobody wants to sit in a chair for 6+ hours straight
Did he lose?
heyy where is he going all the time whi leaving the stage after each move?? topalov must be geting use whit this!Kramnik does it Kasparov does it and all vs Topalov.
@warblerab he was already ahead of the others before the game in points^^
true kasparov may have been more sane than fischer, fischer is what got chess famous. without fischer, i wouldnt even know how to play.
but many says the greastes cheas player was beat by the pc name deep blue.,!!
and thats kasparov.,??
srr if im wrong
I thought that was Rush Limbaugh there for a sec :)
i think nobody can beat him that machine...
@heikg I play otb chess and I must say that I find it really irritating play someone that jumps up after every move.
Chessplayers are full of weirdos though. Some don't bathe, fart at the board, pick their nose, mumble etc.
Then he better develop "to his best" soon, he's not getting any younger.

How does that logic work?
If Kasparov or Topalov were really using the computer then they certainly would've have BOTH lost.
See how this simple logic works?
Why is he writing?
gary is spelled with one R
Kasparov always played like that..
Perhaps if he had kept his ass glued to the chair, he may have played better. Was is with this hoping up after every move ?
@heikg Me too, but it's not like him to go to the back room so often :|
LOL @ 1:42 nice eyes :)
what is wrong with all the cameramen at chess matches. I can't see where they're moving!!! I don't care what their facial expressions are!!!
Wow that was painfull. Nothing like a nice friendly game of Stress! Watching someone being tortured and tormented is so cool. These guys have to be masochist to want to play this game at this level?
