of all the chess commentators, you have the best balance of review/explanation and action, and your English is spare, clear, and sometimes playful. and I love to "pause the video" and search for "killer move." more than before I started watching your vids, after a bit of familiarity and practice, I even nail the best move fairly often, a great feeling for someone with little chess talent. thanks.
Agreed but agatmator has a goodchannel too despite the fact he gets me lost by playing out all possible moves and hypothetical moves in the middle of the match recreation/simulation.
Mato, svaka Vam čast, zbog Vas sam zavolio šah. Vaše analize su fantastične. Uvijek uspijete šahovsku partiju uciniti tako zanimljivom! Pogotovo mi se sviđaju videi gdje nam pokazujete Talove partije...nevjerojatan igrač, meni osobno najdrazi. Veliki pozdrav iz Hrvatske!
Mato, your videos are always very interesting. Congrats. I particulary enjoy the detailed options and you "storytelling" style of narrating. Keep up the good work, thanks from Argentina. "Where is Argentina"=? "Is way downsouth of South America" :)
Sería fantástico si éste análisis tuviera un sobre-impreso en Español, porque entonces, mucha gente más, puede entender tus comentarios It would be great if it had an over-analysis printed in Spanish, because then, many more people can understand your comments
Extraordinary play by Kasparov. Boris Gelfand has also written about these positions, where white has a tiny edge in development to go along with his unrestricted, fianchettoed KB and is able at times to cook up a tasty soup and win. It's one reason players love the Queen's Catalan opening.
Mato you are the best you make chess look so wonderfull and understending...all the others (on youtube) makes it look so boring and they loose them selfs in everything exept the game that they showing SO BORING .. ok not everybody ...5' of your videos is 1:00 hour from others..thanks sorry for my english and greetings from Greece...
Mato, i've only recently started watching your channel and i enjoy your overview and input; especially when you say "you may pause this video and try to find killer move." however, i wanted to ask you: who is your favorite chess player of all time?
3:57 If anyone is curious why you dont take the Nc4 because after that, Rd8+. After Qd8x, white captures back with Qd8x++. Checkmate =). I didnt find the killer move but it was a great move!
Was Petrosian singularly hard to beat? Let's see. Overall record, Petrosian: +691 -157 =1059 (64.0%) Overall record, Carlsen: +656 -265 =661 (62.4%) Granted you'd have to correct for strength of competition, but it's interesting that over the length of a 40 year career Petrosian lost far fewer games than Carlsen has lost already, and Carlsen is only 26 years old.
Mato, could you analyse ACP Golden Classics game between Anna Muzychuk and Emil Sutovsky? I have seen analysis already, but it was so interesting game that I would like to see it from your point of view as well.
Yeah some chess advices are full wisdom. The fact that a legendary positional player like Petrosian forget them from time to time gives me hope that humans making mistakes like me can become good players.
I think the move that lost the game for Petrosian was dxc4. As a renowned positional player he should have opted to develop a piece than to capture material.
Hi Mato, do you have instructional videos on how to play the sicilian for black? I'm a sicilian player, and I root for those who play the sicilian lol, even against my favorite GMs.
Mato, what would have happened if black moved Qf6 instead of resigning? This way the rook is still defended and no forced queen exchange is necessary. Seems like Petrosian is still in the game! (However I am no more than an average chess player, so I suggest this only out of curiosity haha.)
@d3sibeast After Ng4 there isn't a safe place to put the queen. If the queen travels up to g7 or h8, Rxd8+ is winning the queen and the game easily. If the queen travels downward instead it is also essentially hanging itself and giving up the game just as easily to white.
Mato mozemo li ikako izmjenit e mail adrese??stvarno bih volio te imat za prijatelja...kolko ja znam ti i gaja kuljisevac ste jedini iz balkana da rade šahovski video....a ti si mi nekako draži
Why is it so important whether Kasparov was right- or lefthanded? Isn´t it just some odd mythology created by his supporters? By the way is it possible that we could have Mr. Mato create some opening lectures sometime? I´d like to have the Nesjmetdinov-gambit in the Siestavariation of the Ruy Lopez explained...
It is said that the right side of the body(right hand) is controlled by the left side of the brain (logical brain). On the other hand,the left hand is controlled by the right side of the brain (creativity) Must artists, such as DaVinci and MichelAngelo were left handed.
How could Kasparov castle even after he was checked by black bishop from b4 on 3rd move & again on 5th move Kasparovs King was checked ?Can we still castle after being checked?Please enlighten me.
+sat ash Once you become Grand Master, you are entitled to castle even after check. that is a joke. I am searching for guru to enlighten my in spirituality, yoga etc. But I am happy to enlighten you on the way. Check does NOT disqualify the king from castling(but just prevents temporarily). Only moving the king earlier disqualifies. i.e. King cannot castle if he moved already. Other situations prevent king from temporarily castliing are being on check, or the castling squares are in attack of opponents army.
I'd have one question. Is it true, that Kasparov was left-handed? In the videos where he is shown moving his pieces he seems to be moving the pieces with right hand as well as writing down his moves with right hand but there are still people claiming that he was left-handed? So what do you think is the truth? Thank you :)
The bishop on c8 never came into play and was completely dominated by the white bishop. I think it was necessary to play Rb8 at some point or black should have saced his b pawn to generate counterplay along the b file and to activate his LSB which would also connect the rooks.
Kasparov is sadic in this this game that may represent the conflict between two generations ; Kasparov once commented on Petrosian saying that he had an exagerated sense of danger ,may be this made him less free and agressive, fortunately Kasparov did not torture or kill Petrosian in reality. Mato you tortured me with your comment ,i'll get you !
+Jānis Rikveilis ( I calculate the variations from the paused video , not chacking them with a chess board , so I may have mistakes). Interesting proposal: 18.e2-e4 b7-b6 19.Qd2 Nc7 [or somewhat better 19....Nf6 20.Ne5-c6 Qe7-b7 (20...Qe7-e8? 21.Rd8 winning R for Q) but blacks pieces are again miserably placed ] 20.Ne5-c6 Qe7-f6 (20....Qe7-e8 ? 21. Rd3-d8!) 21.e4-e5 followed by a 22.Ne7+ and maybe 23.R:c7 , so white has strong initiative and wining material. I have not bothered to find the official analysis of the game in any magazine or book.
+Ben Hamilton If you did not stop counting after only 2 moves , you would notice that white will continue [24.Qc5 R:d1 25.Q:e7 R:c1 ] 26.Q:f7+ and mate in the next move.

'WOW' killing him softly"
great game of Kasparov
Queen side out...of the blue.
Mato thanks a lot for the beautiful vedio
Mato made a move.. And Spassky offered a draw. You're my hero
Right. To become draw offer from former World Champion, that means, you are doing very good job.
thanks Mato, because of your videos my interest in chess has increased so much..
First win for Kasparov against Petrossian. The other games that didn't end in draw were won by Petrossian even more impressively.
Thanks yet again for the excellent video, Mato.

Thank you so much for these videos! -chess fan
Incase my simple "like" is insufficient, I also didn't see this right away. Thank you for pointing this out to me!
Mato, great quality of videos. Very good work and thank you. I'm very interested.
HI THIS IS MATO
Great video as usual Mato.
Excellent commentary. This is one of those games in which it's difficult to figure out what the losing player did wrong
Wonderful video. I would LOVE to see some Tal videos. He is great
thanks for the effort! great game by Kasparov!
Very nice annotation thanks!
2:36 "Rook is in troblo"

Thank you for a suggestion

It is great that Karpov is visiting Chile.
Chess in Schools is excellent idea.

Hvala za video
Mato; thanks for your good video. Please can you do more videos about Alekhine games? He is one of my favourite player.
Wow what a game! Beautiful. Bonus for me was I found the Queen c5 killer move.
Mato, i've only recently started watching your channel and i enjoy your overview and input; especially when you say "you may pause this video and try to find killer move."
however, i wanted to ask you: who is your favorite chess player of all time?
Chess fan, thank you for your comment
-Chess Teacher
thank you very much mato
Thank you for your valuable comment
A classical counter positional rendition by Kasparov.Thank you.
thank you mato :)

Loll
Petrosian was super underrated.
thank u vey muck

3:20 why kasparov didn't take Nd5 wining a pawn ? Is there any tricks, or he wan't to improve his position ?
I think the move that lost the game for Petrosian was dxc4. As a renowned positional player he should have opted to develop a piece than to capture material.
my sister won't shut up. So, i'll watch this later. -_-
+Baha Rahman Okay
+0047 when does women shut up?
(no offense to ladies this is just a joke)
+Baha Rahman We never shut up. It's just that men don't listen, so they don't always hear us.
(just kidding)
So... try saying something worth listening to? :)
Tal matches are coming. Stay tuned.
i love Ur videos Mato
Ha ha ha. Hvala na komentaru.
What program do you use for this?
Hi Mato, do you have instructional videos on how to play the sicilian for black? I'm a sicilian player, and I root for those who play the sicilian lol, even against my favorite GMs.

first i like videos of Mato then watch the video :P
(5:35) "Torture". Haha interesting way to describe playing chess against Garry Kasparov.

Rook is in trouble-o!
Mato is the best!
Incredible..
The king is back: Chess legend Garry Kasparov comes out of retirement
holy CRAP i made the same move as kasparov. are you serious Qc5
How we know you're not a liar
Hi Mato how 'bout some Wesley So matches :)
A sad off day for the great Petrosian.
3:59 whats wrong with Black knight taking white knight?
How could Kasparov castle even after he was checked by black bishop from b4 on 3rd move & again on 5th move Kasparovs King was checked ?Can we still castle after being checked?Please enlighten me.

+Andreas Hoppe If Kasparov was left-hande that explains why right handed people had problem playing against him
+Andreas Hoppe Why WAS ? Did he died ? Or did he become right-handed ? :D
+Luciano Raffaelli 😂😂😂
yes
great game
Impressive game!

Matoo legendoooo
high tone of "bye for now"
are more tal matches coming?
looks Petrossian resigned quite early, he could have attemped to resist further!
@djhavok101 But Kasparov had just one pawn more!
Wowwwwwwwww !!!
nema hrvata da je bosanca volio ko što ja volim tvoje prijenose
Kasparov is sadic in this this game that may represent
the conflict between two generations ; Kasparov once
commented on Petrosian saying that he had an exagerated
sense of danger ,may be this made him less free and agressive,
fortunately Kasparov did not torture or kill Petrosian in reality.
Mato you tortured me with your comment ,i'll get you !
very good
I was thinking the exact same thing
Why not move b6 at 4:42?
+Jānis Rikveilis ( I calculate the variations from the paused video , not chacking them with a chess board , so I may have mistakes). Interesting proposal: 18.e2-e4 b7-b6 19.Qd2 Nc7 [or somewhat better 19....Nf6 20.Ne5-c6 Qe7-b7 (20...Qe7-e8? 21.Rd8 winning R for Q) but blacks pieces are again miserably placed ] 20.Ne5-c6 Qe7-f6 (20....Qe7-e8 ? 21. Rd3-d8!) 21.e4-e5 followed by a 22.Ne7+ and maybe 23.R:c7 , so white has strong initiative and wining material. I have not bothered to find the official analysis of the game in any magazine or book.
You are russian? What the name of this software?
He is Croatian, and this software is Hiarcs.
The QueensConquerer I will down. Thank you.
pon teks pon
I am not sure why he resigned?? Stockfish shows that this game may go until only Pawns remain.
why would black not play Knight from b6 to c4 at 3:57?
Tei Ling mated after rookd1 takes rook d8,queen takes then the other queen takes equals mate.
1:35 why is it bad to put pressure on queen like Ne4? then castle
+Zorroborro You mean 6.Qxd2 Nf6-e4 7.Qd2-f4 (threatens c7) Ne4-d6 8.c4-c5 Nd6-b5 9.a2-a4 and white is better , will even win the Knight.
What about Rxd1 Qxe7 Rxc1 and black is better 2 rooks to a queen?
+Ben Hamilton If you did not stop counting after only 2 moves , you would notice that white will continue [24.Qc5 R:d1 25.Q:e7 R:c1 ] 26.Q:f7+ and mate in the next move.
The moral of the story is:
"When in Bugojno, don't play Bogo-Indian"
Petrosian Resignnnnnnnned...!!!
lolmaxxx :P
Some matches of Paul Morphy are welcome Mato :)
Never seen a grandmaster game where one side had so few options for moves that he was forced to waste moves like that ...
Why Petrosian resign without changing queens?
why not black knight takes white knight on c4 at 4:00 time?
Cengiz :) Because of Rd8 + Qf8 Rxf8+ Kxf8 Qd8#
this proves mato is between 48 and 53 yrs atm.
The best chess player......
