I have recommended this video to several friends as an introduction to strategic themes. Can you designate some other videos that supply such in depth basic commentary to Master Games? You seemed, when you made this one, to be especially intent on explaining basic notions. Awesome work.
Thanks a lot- I played a bit of chess for fun as a kid, but haven't played for decades!- somehow have come to explore an old interest on youtube the last couple of days and this has been the most enjoyable and useful video. Excellent explanations of strategy and individual moves; feels like not just a learning experience but something beautiful!
11:30 - I thought some about a pin by Kasparov, and after g5 move I will do Ng5. When Karpov would recapture with the pawn, then capture with the bishop and there's a pin and also Karpov's king is very open.
Exquisite comment. Pretty exhaustive analysis in the strategical and tactical background of the fight - yet pretty concise and spot on at every move made by the (great) opponents. Congrats and keep the good stuff coming !
Excellent video!! I like the way you explain the principles fo the opening being used, and also the way you toss in theoretical principles here and there. Very nice work, I hope you upload more!
I started watching your videos a few days ago (starting with your oldest ones). I paused the video and figured out the queen 'sacrifice' move and I feel so proud! xD I know it sounds kind of childish but i wanted to share this with you. Great vids, great talks, you're really improving my game by a lot. Keep up!

The reason Karpov did not play 21..Qxb2 according to GM R.Byrne was that Karpov did not want an ending where white had 2 minor pieces vs Rook + pawn. 21..Qxb2 22.Bxc6 Rxd1 23.Bxb7 Rxe1+ 24.Nxe1
Very instructive explanations of the Nimzo-Indian opening theme, pawn structure, IQP, square control, Bg5 pin and h6 theme, tactics, etc. Well done! Thanks.
Hi Jerry, this video is old but I consider it one of the best. I wonder what the best final match of all time is. Karpov Kasparov; Anand Karlsen; Lasker Capablanca; Botvinik Tal; Fischer Spassky or another one? This would be a cool poll in a broadcast
@Ferrari312pb It might have been caused by time trouble. Depending on the time limit, often blunders occur between moves 25 and 40 when time trouble potentially looms. If you're playing through moves from a database, for instance, it'll often not make you aware of the time factor in a game, hence some moves can be hard to understand. Alternatively, Karpov's sense of danger might have faded in such a balanced position, and he'd anticipated he was coasting towards a comfortable draw.
the best analysis/commentary on a chess game ive watched on youtube. thanks ... and a question: why dont you consider whites doubled pawns g2-3 weakness?
point is: black has no solution to white pressure with his rook on the bishop, which means he will eventually lose another figure very soon as the commentator suggested, which means black will have queen and bishop or knight against white two rooks and bishop with knight which is by any standard a very big material advantage.. on world championship level that means a certain defeat.
Another excellent video. Keep up the great work. I got a tricky question for you: who's your more favorite player, Kasparov or Karpov? (I say more favorite because both are obviously favorites, heh)
@Ferrari312pb Karpov's sense of danger might have faded in a balanced position such as this, and he'd assumed he was coasting towards a comfortable draw, hence he wasn't quite so alert to a random tactic as he would normally be.
Hello,Jerry thank U so much your analysis is truly good and helps beginner like me ,I hv improved my queen pawn ,queen gambit game by watching ur videos
Very nice. I would have sacrificed the queen in that position, too ^^ You go very in-depth into the game, explaining every move and saying why some other move shouldn't be played, and this is what makes you my favorite chess...video-maker.
great video! I've subscribed as well. I've one question: could you please help me understand, in practical terms, how d5 square that black's aiming be used to mount attacks or the benefit of controlling it. What makes it so significant?
wow, you are a really good commentator, so amazing, doesnt only comment what is happenning, but what would happen, and what would happend next if this was happening. how have you developt such strategy, have you ever been a chess master, or just a good level?
definitely not; it helps a lot of people including me to understand all the possible variations that occur right from the first pawn moves and Jerry sure does a good job of explaining that
I read some comments saying that you take too much time explaing, but i think is just right :) a real chess game TAKES TIME. Analizing the game should TAKE MORE TIME, some of the things you said i knew, but still is interesting to remember everything... as we could see black pieces did not remember something really basic, black pieces where just playing by the book... double your rooks is a good idea... but they didn't see what were the real consequences of that move. EXCELLENT JOB JERRY :)
I thought so too, but despite the queen coming to d7 and being more active, black can hold the position and there is no real advantage for white.. what was played (no spoilers!) is the more forcing/winning continuation :)
Your recommendation does nothing other than let black have the initiative after the check and black's Rd8 chasing the queen away and taking the bishop on d5 for free unless the queen retreats immediately after Qxd7 Ba8.
Naturally Karpov resigned, considering the strength of his opponent. However, I would like to have been able to see a few moves more to see how Kasparov coordinated his two rooks and minor piece vs. queen advantage. Against a sub-master level opponent, black would surely continue a while in this position to see if his queen can make problems for white's pieces.
Awesome material, still good... even 10 years later :D
Agree 👍

Thanks. I'm currently considered a National Master.
I learnt so much from this. Thank you, ChessNetwork. :)

Hello Jerry from six years ago!
you provide some of the best chess material on youtube
thx for doing this
@kevski2000 Great! Thanks the intention. Thanks for the comment. :)
Fascinating - and just the right level for me. I like having two minutes analysis per move!
Excellent video!! I like the way you explain the principles fo the opening being used, and also the way you toss in theoretical principles here and there. Very nice work, I hope you upload more!
A great job, period! Hope I can find more games you go over.
I can't express how helpful your lengthy,patient, and clear analysis has been in improving my chess game!
This is really wonderful material, thanks for the effort.

as good and instructive as any chess video i've seen...great job.
Jerry explaining 1.d4 Nf6 in detail is such a joy. I love this video.

"I hope you got something out of it"
...Jerry, what an understatement! Well done as usual!!
I misread it as 13 days ago lol
very good video, jerry! i got a lot out of your commentary - especially concering what you said about pawn structure. very insightful!
@rudhrakha Thank you for the feedback rudhrakha. :)
nice and simple illustration!!! keep going
nice instructions Jerry i enjoyed and learned some new stuff ^^
i think ill keep up with your videos since i wanna learn about chess ^^
What's your rating sir
very interesting game. nice to see you making so many videos lately =)
The reason Karpov did not play 21..Qxb2 according to GM R.Byrne was that Karpov did not want an ending where white had 2 minor pieces vs Rook + pawn. 21..Qxb2 22.Bxc6 Rxd1 23.Bxb7 Rxe1+ 24.Nxe1
@007bogota Thanks for the feedback. :)

Excellent commentary. Thank you for creating.
Thanks very much for this video - highly instructive.
Who would've thought Karpov would've made such a blunder !?
Hi Jerry, this video is old but I consider it one of the best. I wonder what the best final match of all time is. Karpov Kasparov; Anand Karlsen; Lasker Capablanca; Botvinik Tal; Fischer Spassky or another one? This would be a cool poll in a broadcast
to learn chess one needs tons of patience & concentration. your explanation & analysis is very nice and engaging. Thanks a lot
Really good analysis. Thanks!
thanks as always you do a fine job on your videos!

I can't believe I actually caught on to the winning move...
Thanks Jerry, these videos are really making me better at the game 😁
Thank you for all the feedback everyone! :)
Hello,Jerry thank U so much your analysis is truly good and helps beginner like me ,I hv improved my queen pawn ,queen gambit game by watching ur videos
I just subscribed. Thank you so much for making these videos. Just out of curiosity, what software do you use to draw out the matches?
I think you should explain simple moves with a lot more brevity, especially in the opening, for example Rc1 and Bh4. The extra time really adds up.
Thanks Rodrigo. :)
Great video. I'm teaching a class on chess at my local YMCA soon, and I might just use a few examples of high level thinking from this game.
Brilliant video...thanks for the upload
Very nice.
I would have sacrificed the queen in that position, too ^^
You go very in-depth into the game, explaining every move and saying why some other move shouldn't be played, and this is what makes you my favorite chess...video-maker.
superb and informative analysis. thanks so much
No idle chit-chat, nicely paced...well done!
Great video! Thanks a lot!
How is it possible to make a World Chess Championship Game looks as simple as tic-tac-toe? Well, you did it. Congratulations!
Thanks! :)
@19:28 could you see a tactical advantage for white if Rxe5, and then if Qxe5 then Qd3+ and the black rook is lost as well ?
Karpov was feeling comfortable with his superb opening play and right away commited a blunder :-)
Awesome Vid! Keep it on:)
@jiMinizer49ers Thanks. :)
Amazing, thanks for the video
Loved The Video!!!
great video! I've subscribed as well. I've one question: could you please help me understand, in practical terms, how d5 square that black's aiming be used to mount attacks or the benefit of controlling it. What makes it so significant?
Can we have more video's like this? I learn't so much!
very good video. i liked the depth
@ThatOneGuy1027 I have much to learn as well.
Yep.This is the second Kasparov game you're doing.I heard game 16 of the match was the best one.
wow, you are a really good commentator, so amazing, doesnt only comment what is happenning, but what would happen, and what would happend next if this was happening.
how have you developt such strategy, have you ever been a chess master, or just a good level?
After 12 years and I’m here to see that game for a queen sacrifice
awesome video man never would've seen that queen sacrifice thumbs up
definitely not; it helps a lot of people including me to understand all the possible variations that occur right from the first pawn moves and Jerry sure does a good job of explaining that
May I ask, do you play in local chess clubs and whatnot? Or have you achieved your experience just by playing online?
Excellent commentary

EXCELLENT JOB JERRY :)
How about white's e1 Rook checking on e8? at 20:17.
I thought so too, but despite the queen coming to d7 and being more active, black can hold the position and there is no real advantage for white.. what was played (no spoilers!) is the more forcing/winning continuation :)
Your recommendation does nothing other than let black have the initiative after the check and black's Rd8 chasing the queen away and taking the bishop on d5 for free unless the queen retreats immediately after Qxd7 Ba8.
Great vid, thanks Jerry :)
The most instructional chess video i ever saw!
HI MY NAME IS ORI
THX FOR THE EXPLAINATION -
I HAVE A Q; AFTER BLACK N TO C6 WHY NOT PAWN TO D5
THANKS
Who was the greatest chessplayer, Jerry?
Great analysis!!!
excelente analilis master!!! gracias!!!

However, I would like to have been able to see a few moves more to see how Kasparov coordinated his two rooks and minor piece vs. queen advantage. Against a sub-master level opponent, black would surely continue a while in this position to see if his queen can make problems for white's pieces.
Good job!!! Thank you.
Also, if you could direct me to some games, which may have used such a weakness, to go through, it would be great.
*Jerry.. Please Start a online chess coaching website.. We will be pay for you..*
Wonderful final move by Kasparov!
Wow 10 years ago time flys...
@iROFLatYouSOxD perhaps you might lead by example, and annotate a few moves in a deeper style to show what you mean.
great video :)
what if exd5 after d5? if Qxd5 BxNf6.... thanks for the answer
thanks!
i learn something from you!
i like the way u explain things. good alternative to chessvideos-tv...
Good lesson. Thank you!
Keep up your awesome videos! Maybe sound a bit more enthusiastic?
18 40 - In my opinion was cos if white take black knight, black respond with bishop takes black bishop and black rook s watching pawn a7
@TheHamude You got it! :)
after watching this video i realized the importance of pawn structure
nice video ... thanks
Thx very much
