Great documentary, great commentary, thank you Mr. Clark.
what a great story. Epic rivalry
The best commentary for audience, unlike the inscrutable take, take, take 10 move combinations
Hi Rob ... thanks so much for all your excellent content from the chess archives. I'm lapping it up. Please keep it coming!
What a discovery! Really enjoyed reliving that great era in chess.
I thought Spassky's impression of Karpov was probably bit over the top, then it cuts to Karpov and it turns out it was pretty spot on lol
Thank you for posting this piece of history
fantastic ! - very cool to get an insider view of one of the epic matches of all time
1955-95 is the golden era of Chess when top level games meant something. These days the real top level Chess is played by Stockfish and Leela (both directly and indirectly)
This is sweet content. Thank you very much. With love from Uganda.
Great video
I remember this so vividly! "Aah...but...however...this is a very happy situation for me!" is a line I still use to this day. RIP Florencio Campomanes.
What about previous matches between them?
What is the title of the music at the beginning?
Romeo & Juliet
@@josemiguelplanton4613 Thanks. "Dance of the Knights"!!! How creative. A hidden little nugget.
How did Kasparov avoid losing a piece then?
It's not too hard, look and you will find. Make sure you check all possible black's moves (after white plays Nd5).

In 1991, a boy was playing in a tournament, and about to play his final game. He had to win this, otherwise, he'd come second.
A nervous wreck, with five minutes before the start, he went to the bathroom to compose himself. He washed his face with cold water to remove the sweat, but he was still wan.
Who should walk in but Garry Kasparov, who was on a goodwill visit.
"Young man," Kasparov said, "you look terrible. What's wrong?"
The youth explained his situation.
"Tell you what" said Kasparov, "about twenty moves in, I'll drop in behind you, nod, and give you a tap on your shoulder. That should rattle your opponent, and give you a winning edge."
"Mr Kasparov" said the boy "that means so much to me. Thank you." Whereupon he set off for his game.
Kasparov kept his promise, and in the finely-poised middlegame, he stood behind the boy, nodded, and tapped him on the shoulder.
The boy turned around and said "Bugger off, Garry, can't you see I'm busy?"
(this may not be a true story)
Practicing buggery in the snuggery .
This may not be true but the following story definitely is. In the 1995 Anand vs Kasparov world championship, Anand took the lead in game 9. In game 10, every time Kasparov made a move, he got up and slammed the door so hard the room shook. The young and mild mannered Anand did not complain to the arbiter, who also did not act. Bullying destroys lives, and bullied children suffer lifelong low self esteem. Kasparov needs to be made to confront his behavior and answer for it.
@@whaddoiknow6519 If Anand didn’t make an issue of it , why are you ?
The casus belli here is not and should not be just Anand's. I have seen the damage bullying does. Bullying is loathsome, and it is bad enough when children do it, but for an adult it is unacceptable. This is no way to win.
@@whaddoiknow6519 The anecdote I wrote above was just a joke - it was originally about a graduate programmer who's in the middle of an interview at Microsoft, when Bill Gates offers to help.
I'm from a country whose cricketers are famous for gamesmanship, and it's pure bad manners.
Very insightful, and revealing of how ugly and nasty some personalities can be, in what should be a sporting game at the end of the day.

What's the deal with involving playboy here, lol?
Good tits in playboy that month. Not sure what it has to do with chess, but Gary and Anatoly were in agreement that the centrefold had fine tits
I believe Alekhine was the first ‘Russian’ world champion, what kind of revisionist history crap is this?
I think he had fled Russia when he won.
12:35 Kasparov fired Vladimirov, but the traitor was Dorfman.
False accusation that was never proven
Please respect Karpov. What Spassky and Korchnoi said are disgusting. He beat them convincingly
Mr Spassky and Mr Korchnoi are completely right. As for karpov, he never ever defeated a reigning world champion in a WCC match.
@@eudesgeoffroy8416 Fischer did not want to olay so it is not Karpov's fault. He beat Spassky 4-1 in candidate quarter final, Korchnoi 3-2 in candidate final, Korchnoi 3-2 in WCC 1978, and destroyed Korchnoi 6-2 in WCC 1981. İ think he deserves respect and he have answer to Spassky and Korchnoi
