This is a great format! The absence of commentary and the engine bar allows you to get into the games without any distractions. The silence is compelling. Superb.
Great match! but I am not sure why Kramnik is complaining about old age. He is still young. Top chess players in the past would compete in their fifties and even sixties (Smyslov for e.g.) without invoking their age. It's a pity that they are retiring in their early forties nowadays. A precedent set by Kasparov.
I hate to tell you but chess players do not retain their strength as they age..and there were far fewer top players in the era you think Smyslov was still being competitive..no chess payer who has ever lived holds their strength into their 50's let alone their 60's
@@jadezee6316 Point well-taken, but Smyslov was a candidate finalist at 62 years old and lost only to Kasparov. Karpov beat Kamsky handily when he was 45 years old in the FIDE WCC. While at that time Kamsky was at his peak. The point is that some very top players are retiring too early. Kudos to Anand for sticking around and still competing at the top level. I never saw him complaining about his age or talking about retirement. Some top players ought to emulate him.
Kasparov said that Kramnik's style is very energy-consuming and hard to keep at the top level, he tryes to make a perfect move every time like Kasparov but with the strategic mindset like Karpov. Where's Anand or Smyslov's style is more about making a "good" but consistent plays, so you making 50 good moves and if the opponent makes 50 good moves too theres a draw, somehing like that. Again, its Kasparovs words.
I think you protect a5 pawn and also bishop on c3 don’t need to protect pawn on b7 anymore so you can move him. Initially pawn on b7 is pretty weak in my own opinion
Great Format Idea! Bring Kramnik Vs Jospen next!
😂😂 they are to far each other.

What a match! A clash of cultures! The incredible and completely wild thug is playing against Grischuk.
Thank you Levitov Chess, for this match. Two great chess players and persons. Very enjoyable.
Absolutely loved it!! Russia has an amazing chess culture! It is a gift to the world!
Spasiba, hvala Puno pozdrav. This IS Epic!!!!
Extraordinary match!
We need Hans there :D
Nd8 instead of Rxg7 in game 1 looked winning too.
43:52 Rh4 looks nice, instead of d6 but I guess just Rg6.
Kramnik wants to make sure his opponent is not cheating. That is why he plays face to face 😂
Viva forever chess Russian school 🏫
Good to see them go through the process
plz subtitles
If Kramnik was not discomforted by his arthritis and the side effects of his medication, he could play much strongly.

Did Kramnik use the toilet?
Grischuk letting the old guy win a few games was "kind," but only fuels his paranoia the next time he loses to Jospem and every other kid online.
No commentaries, no analysis, sorry this is not a good chess content. Basically you posted a raw material
1:16:32 as a 1200 I have no idea why b6. You're blocking your own bishop on c7. What's the mindset?

@@Goriot7it also opens a new path for the light squared bishop. The dark squared bishop is already well positioned
