Kasparov, despite being retired can still hold a draw against one of the best players in speed chess is an amazing feat
Hi blink
@@SonidosEnArmonia_1992 he also beat Hikaru with the white pieces in the same tourney
@Toe Feet maybe not in bullet chess, but definitely in classic tournaments. I think you can find videos of GMs like Bobby Fischer talking about how draining it is. But being retired definitely affects how he plays, because he doesn’t need to study modern opening theory so he isnt too familiar with countering hikaru’s moves
@Toe Feet Not true. At least your calculation skills drops down a lot after 40+ years old. And this is not all the problems of aged players. Like in ANY other sport, in chess you need to train everyday to show your A-game against top players. Definitely Kasparov is not in that training mode nowadays.
@Toe Feet Sorry to break this to you but when you get: old your brain gets old, you loose reflexes (calculate variants), you get tired easier (need to keep concentration), your memory starts to fail (openning theory)
I love these commentaries by Danya. Hope we see more of this in the chess olympiad.
So good
My favorite part is when he mentions hikarus fidgeting lol. I love danya
I was just about to mentiion that. Not only is he a top class player himself, his commentary is actually smooth and contains zero filler-sentences. Bravo.
Congrats for heart!
1:34 Hikaru casts a spell on a redbull can
Lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣
And Kasparov seemed a little bit surprised by that move. As all of us were...
That meme always gets a smile
What is actually happening there?
lol
I love that kasparov is still actively playing chess, he is such a gift to the chess world.
He is a gift to the chess world, even today, but i'm pretty sure he is not "actively" playing.
@@belhaddim5116 He is just playing for his pleasure. He has made it to the top becoming the wolrd champion, so now he doesn't have to put pressure on himself to pursue certain goals. He genuinely loves the game and just plays it once in a while to have fun.
1:35 I'll never forget Hikaru blessing his red bull or whatever that was lol
a fly i hope 👀
Flies?
@@King.Mark. no i think he turned it into wine or something
JESUS LOVES YA
2:01 Got Kasparov on the live broadcast telepathically, amazing production quality
At that age still drawing with hikaru on his home turf, blitz matches
Talk about flexing
This was an extremely satisfying game to watch. Props to Kasparov for still being able to hold his own.
Man, this Daniel guy is good at this. He should start a TH-cam channel or something, maybe even stream a little.
He should try competing in chess too. Seems like he knows his stuff
@@adamkarr3218 so true...
He should do a speedrun.
Wow that was a great game. Hikaru's pressure was enormous, but Kasparov was very resilient, withstanding all that pressure. Amazing play by both until the end.
Daniel you're seriously good at this. Maybe some on your main channel? Do some longer explanatory videos of high level games?
Daniel unable to control himself with the Kasparov impressions xD I love it.
Kasparov's impression was brilliant
0:12 look at that motorboat action
4:11 Hikaru was fidgeting with Gary's Bishop😂
Great commentary, as a very new chess player it let me easily follow the game!
1:34 is the funniest thing ever🤣
Hikaru fidgeting with Garrys bishop. I love Danya's commentary.
Danya imitating Kasparov accent is hilarious
1:34 Hikaru is cheating! He uses a magic spell over his engergy drink!
I love how kasparov is always emotional about his games. I love people who take things they do seriously.
Kasparov is always in a great hurry after a game of chess lol
That was the most hyped forced draw ever. Garry with the old man strength
So who was losing?
What a perfect commentary!
I love this, absolutely amazing seeing legends battle it out on the board.
It's sad modern day GM's don't play like this anymore. Dynamic, Intuitive, with fervor, and taking risks, while promoting grand new ideas...truly the game leaves a lot to desire from the times of Kasparov where sacrifices, and tactics vastly captivated players interest more than just, playing accurate and solid chess
Thanks to technology, now everything is draw. Before you had chances for winning
Great game and commentary. Thanks Danya!
I love Danya's commentaries, they are the best!
'hikaru fiddling with Gary's bishop'. I've lived to hear it said.
Nice game man, I love watching titans go against each other, very insightful!
Two legends locked in battle
love the Kasparov impression
Great commentaries and the format is so good
Red bull represents Hikaru. Timer represents Kasparov.
The way Kasparov fixes the white pawn to the exact center of the square at 0:06 right after Hikaru moves it... Do you guys think it's to convey dominance?
This was really good! More commentary plz =)
The finger move by Hikaru when he touches the top of the redbull can is so fucking funny 🤣🤣
I can judge how brilliant Kasparov is in chess just by looking how slowly and carefully Hikaru plays against him compared to his really easy stance in playing even with GMs and IMs.
Great game, great commentary.
Kasparov has a bad poker face. He wears his emotion.
Danya commetries are one of the best !!!
PLEASE make the board larger. Hurts my eyes trying to follow the match.
Wow what a game. This is what draws should always look like, not just a stale, lifeless game but instead a fighting, combative back and forth
That was fabulous! A fantastic way to spend the last quarter hour of my Friday! A great battle.
Miss your endgame column in Chess Life GM Naroditsky. Learned a lot from it!
Danya lasted 2 minutes before breaking out his Garry impression that's good going hahahaha
The old engine has not slowed down at al!!
Thanks for the camera angle.
Would be interesting to see Kasparov playing Hikaru under classic time control. Because it seems the only thing that stopped Kasparov from winning this game was the time handicap.
Danya's mimicry is amazing
lmfao I hoping to hear Danya's Kasparov impression. Spot on
would much prefer the coverage if the time clocks were shown.
enjoyed the game and the great commentary
Absolutely insane.
I love the respect hikaro shows the legend...no chatting online while playing..full focus and concentration.
best commentary ever thumbs up
Dude, Kasparov were retired and got a draw from a Nakamura in a blitz game...
Well the genius in him still Lives
Until quite recently, Kasparov actually had a positive Blitz record against Hikaru, beating him 3 to 1 (now it's 3-3). It's incredible that Kasparov managed to remain competitive with the best players in the world for such a long time. I remember in some of these blitz tournaments in Saint Louis around the mid 2010s, Kasparov actually got winning positions in almost every game. But he'd often struggle with his time and so his overall results weren't that great. A couple of years ago he actually beat Firouzja in a Chess 960 game and held Magnus to a draw by finding a brilliant combination in the endgame. Just shows what a remarkable player he was and how scary he must have been during his prime.
Nowadays he's clearly too old but I think had he not retired in 2005, he would have remained a top player for a very long time. Probably would have been number 1 until 2010 or so.
Men, why is the view on real board allways so bad? Please go with the camera just 1m up, and you will have it perfectly on the screen
This is awesome!!!
Hikaru looks like kid Goku from OG DB
The two most expressive people playing
0:24 Kasparov moves the bishop prior to Hikaru touching the clock. Sneaky sneaky ;)
loved this
Best Red Bull commercial ever!!!!!
there's another video where he beat hikaru, this man is special and also teacher of Carlsen.
Love the Kasparov imitation
The age difference makes for a great game! I smiled when he said "Patented Headshake".
10:41 i think Gary blundered his rook based on his reaction but i'm no expert ;) He did well vs current world #1 in blitz, Hikaru in his prime and young. Kasper looked very satisfied with a draw
This is maybe what you are looking for 1:34
Abracadabra 🧙
Gary, looking for a draw since the beginning...
Not a surprise that the inventor of Chess Garry Chess could draw Hikaru
Very accurate commentary,
*spoiler alert*
when they decided for draw..i didnt see anything?
Congratulations to @GMHikaru for making a draw with white pieces in a blitz game against the chess GOAT.
How good can a commentator be?...: YES!
Hey, that Kasparov impersonation was pretty good.
10:31 I'm certainly nowhere near the level of Gary and Hikaru but didn't Gary just outright blunder the rook here? While he may have gained some compensation for it, the look on his face seems to indicate he just missed the rook capture by Hikaru's bishop. He didn't look happy at all about the the move.
f6 may have been a mistake there but he was DEFINITELY aware that the rook could be taken, what's infinitely more likely is that he overestimated the position after the bishop takes the rook and Garry is very well known for his exaggerated facial expression, basically the entire game he looks like he is losing but he never really is in serious danger. Even that position the engine evaluates at no more than +1 and in a closed position like this that's definitely not enough for a win.
I guess the “board does not care “ if the “exchange sac” was a blunder or not. In relatively balanced position there is always compensation whether player intended to “sacrifice” or not.
I was thinking 🤔 the same thing too, but I was like ooh well he is a chess genius maybe he knows what he is doing
A great display of before and after computer era of chess
Hikaru had to think a lot. He was fidgeting with Gary's Bishop so it was probably very hard!
incredible match
¡¡Grande Kasparov!!
Great commentary by Naroditsky!
As someone who doesn’t play chess, the speed at 13:17 is absurd to me.
Wow , that was an interesting game !
The added drama of no viewer clock is kinky.
Kasparov has still got it.
Oh, I didn’t know Kasparov’s first name is Brilliant. That explains a lot
Danya is such an amazing commentator
Am I wrong for saying touch and move mid game when asked for a take back blitz or bullet?
What was that Nok done with his fingers over his drink hahahaha.
Sooo nice!
Its annoying to not know the time left for the players
Very nice game by both! Just wow.
Patented head shake 😂😂😂😂😂
Shoutout to the comments section for spoilers.
Wonder who would win in classical
Amazing how nobody drinks red bull while playing chess 🤣🤣🤣
Hilary was moving his pieces so fast, that one time he knocked a piece over on the board and provoked a protest, a complaint to the ref by his opponent. I saw it, Hikaru was moving recklessly fast, but the Ref didnt see it. Hikaru won.
Hikaru works with Redbull, Kasparov just with air... that is the difference
Kasparov is an absolute genius at chess. I admire his play more than Hikaru, because i believe he invents more creatively
I mean he is probably the greatest chess player of all time, so that makes sense
I was THE WORLD CHAMPION for a reason son!
