Unbelievable how good Kasparov still is, 10 years after leaving competitive chess behind. Fantastic to see.
+leerobbo92 Well it is just blitz.
+leerobbo92 Best chess player of all time. Theres no substitutes for Kasparov.
kingshearer2 "Just blitz"? How can you say that when he's just kept up against arguably currently the best blitz player in the world, Nakamura, as well as the current second and ninth best in the world on the FIDE ratings, despite having been retired for 10 years? In fact, in some of those games it seemed as though he only lost because he had time trouble!
Perhaps I was a bit harsh, Garry has always been the best blitz player. I'm hoping he reads my comment and comes out of retirement and enters the candidates tournament!
kingshearer2 proves the point even more lol. Kasparov at such older age than young Nakamura still managed to beat him
As is the usual case with these rare commentary-less videos, see the description for more info. This was a fun one to put together. I hope you enjoy viewing the games as much as I did.
+IIPhoenixMTA I dont like it when theres no commentary :-(
+ChessNetwork Poetic.. The music is also accurate. I feel like there are a lot of parallels between classical music composers and modern chess players.. prodigy's in the same way making art in high intellectualism & spirit. I also admire the respect in the game. Props to Nakamura for not being edgy about Kasparov's touch-rule knight in game 2
+ChessNetwork I love it because my favorite won in this face-up :)
I thought he(Garry Kasparov) give up from chess
There has to be commentary!
Garry Kasparov what a legend, quit 10 years ago and yet crushing one of the best players in the world, imagine Nakamura playing Kasparov at his peak, score would have been at least 4-2 for Garry.
+Clyine chokamura at his best!
...wrong; with Garry at his peak the score would have been 6-0 for Kasparov
12 - 1
wow how is kasparov STILL this good? imo hikaru is one of the top 5 blitz players in the world.
+TomValedro Lol Kasparov was a monster. He's really strong and i'm not surprised to see him playing still well.
kasparov is the god of chess man
+TomValedro can he win against hikaru in bullet?
+Niknok Requiero Bullet < Regular chess
no.
Jerry loved Kasparov beating Nakamura in their micro-match, and so did I. Im glad this video was made!
Beautiful choice of song, Gerry! (or Jerry, which do you prefer?) I know Blitz games aren't meant to be dissected, but hopefully you are planning on doing some commentary! I imagine some of these games were crazy at a deep level and there are some incredible tactics that everyone (including the players!) probably missed!
+LT shooKya Thanks LT. I'm glad you liked it. I usually spend quite some time finding a track that I think would fit well from the small pool of music I choose from. It's Jerry, with a 'J'. :D
I would rather listen to your commentate each game.
i loved how the chess moves would occasionally sync perfectly with the music. like a choreographed chess dance
Even now I think Kasparov would be at least second best player in the world at the moment. If he went fulltime chess again that is.
Maybe he is testing his present abilities to proof, if he can compete on a tournement?!
thank you the video was fantastic the old fella still has it amazing!!!
this is very depressive for young top players of today's chess , Kasparov at 53 y.o ....20 years after his prime , beating the 2nd best blitz player in the world at the moment of this event is priceless , this Kasparov convinced the planet chess that he would destroy the new generation of chess players easily in his prime !!! now good news mr N.Short ! ...it was not because of you last year , you did your best !
Wow I really love this, I was just looking for some quick examples of pro games, I am still learning stuff. Your commentaries are also good tho, keep up the good work!
*applause* Jerry, great video. I loved the tone, game selections, and pace -it felt like watching two masters dancing.
The ending with the long bass note was amazing. Watching Kasparov knock Nakamura out 3.5-2.5 was great to see with this nice music. Loving the new format keep it up!
I was watching the stream of this yesterday on YT, great stuf.
This was a relaxing change of pace, watching a chess video without commentary. Just relaxing music over it, I quite enjoyed it.
+paul smith Thanks Paul. I like putting together videos log this format from time to time.
Loved the presentation!
+fredludd Thank you fred! :D
nice coverage. interesting games, and very nice music choice. thnx
+Massimiliano Farris Thank you Massimiliano! :D
Garry is such a beast. Really incredible that he can do this to Naka after retiring from chess.
great idea to put music to the games !
Garry showed that he is able to play on the level with best still but ok blitz favours Kasparov's aggressiv style
dope video bro!
Thanks for the video. Nice music. Karsparov strong!
Garry had some amazing attacking games in this exhibition; any chance you'll cover some of them in greater depth?
It's worth watching this at x2 speed.
+HarryIsTheGamingGeek that's like bullet chess :D
wow that was fun. Garry finessed Naka in the last game, but Naka's always dangerous, so Garry had to be careful to trade off and then wait patiently for a desperate blunder by Naka. Both super-great players! Thanks.
Jerry this is an awesome video and great music. I was cheering for Nakamura though.
Great video, Jerry :)
beautiful play
Was game 2, move 43 a mistake by Kasparov, or was there any blunder at the end here, seemed like he should have been able to draw.
Garry loves pushing "Harry" the h pawn
+Ridics it just isn't a game without Harry
Lets have some ginger!
Ridics Barry, Carry, Darry, Farry, Garry, Harry
Berlin? No, Scotch on the rocks please. Thanks Garry :)
Awesome
+Cal Sticks I thought so as well for this series of 6 games.
Thank! Спасибо!
+Mikhail Shchebenyuk Welcome! Добро пожаловат! :D
+ChessNetwork Was it a translator or can you speak russian?
Thank you Google Translate! :D
You answered!
Best channel ever!
Welcome in this case translates as "Пожалуйста"
¿alguien me dice cual es el nombre de la canción en piano que suena?, Gracias
Thank u so much!
And what's this song's name? :)
+Temuujin MeLO Drone in D see description
Mostly really high quality chess for blitz games, but I guess that is to be expected when two renowned blitz chess giants are involved. :-)
Brilliant
The music just makes this video 200% better.
+Protected Method The commentary-less format is certainly not for everyone, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D
that was freaking amazing
super, thanks"
I am still really amazed by how absolutely great chess truly is, music is very fitting too
Great game.
This is unbelievable! Against non other than Naka too!
Do we know what Kasparov's rating is now? Or is that just not relevant? Im unsure how inactive players ratings change? It would be an even greater achievement by him if his rating was much lower than at his peak. And conversely if he is still 2812 well then how about a "friendly" game vs Carlsen?
The Ratings on ICC are not accurate. They are the normal standard chess ratings. Naka's live Blitz chess rating is 2883. He's #2 in the world, with Magus at #1 at 2915.
Why @7:53 white not playing his rook from c7 to c8...he can easily queen his pawn with that move...why why why..plz explain...i am missing out on something.!!😔
+Hussain Piplodwala
Rbb8
I'm pretty sure that the opening in the first game is the King's Indian Defense: Mar Del Plata Variation.
Why is there Minecraft music in this video?
Jerry, what is the music called? x
+DeutschMaga See description for the details etc...
+ChessNetwork Thanks, I like this kind of music, but dont know names :D I was looking for it in description at first, but must have overlooked it.
one down two more to go~
Are you going to make similar videos with the other two players too?
+Jon Long 2 Probably not.
+Jon Long 2
Are you going *TO* make similar videos with the other *TWO* players *TOO* ?
Probably not.
+ChessNetwork Why? Common, do it! As soon as possible.
+Saeed Durden I really don't think "common" is the appropriate word of choice here. How about "come on", which can be shortened to "c'mon"?
DENIED
My Fav Game
Capablanca vs Ficher next plz
garry still pro
The more I watch Kasparov the more I think he might be the best ever. I still think Tal is the greatest attacker of all time, but Kasparov is no less imaginative and I think a better all-around player. (I'm still on the fence about who is the best, but its looking more and more like Kasparov).
It's worth watching this at 1x speed. :)
?I felt asleep with this music.... but great games, had kasparove back to play
Kaspppaarrrrrooooo THE LEGEND
Watched this in 2x speed. Just beautiful play
name of de song?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!! 8-O
Kaspi in his relatively old age being inactive even since quite a couple years beats arguable the world's best blitz/bullet genius?!? WTF!?!?!?
thanks jerry !!!!!
good music
People dont believe when i said today gms are weak compare to kasparov era, naka is a monster in blitz and old kasparov still can beat him.... Hat off for unbelievable garry kasparov :)
Bullet next plz
13:45 why not Check and then pawn for Queen ?
Black Rook takes Queen , White R takes R
i really think Kasparov would keep standing as number 1 if he played regularly.
In game 2 Kasparov cheated with a touch move incident. Naka noticed but didn't call him on it. He would fit right in in Washington Square park.
Was it not Naka 3.5? Great vid though :)
ouch that blunder at the end must've hurt
Thumbn looks like Kasparov vs Benicio del Toro
No commentary ? this sux
Kasparov vs Carlsen
It was bad that Fisher and Kasparov retired. It was their decisions. I am glad Kasparov returned. If you are blessed with talent like chess it is bad not to play. Better to return standar competion. Anyway it was very very bad Fisher quitting.
Draw? Kasparov should've flagged him, lol.
Kid got schooled.
In game 4 why didn't White check black on the 8th rank then promote?
Garrik is still the man!!
i live for scoth
How was game one a draw?
+meu02136 They obviously agreed to a draw, no progress to be made.
hceely
But Nakamura had a second left, he could've ran out of time.
He had 5 seconds left I looked at the video, they also had a 3 second delay so Naka losing on time was unlikely. They would have just drew by repetition, so they just agreed to a draw.
Garry would have smoked anyone in the current field may be except Magnus. I think Magnus would win tho, but would have been won by half a point or so.
8:13 Can someone explain why not Kxd8?
+Dragos Puri
blunder
Clyde Rembrandt Yes. But I was wondering what he was thinking. That seemed like the most obvious move.
Dragos Puri
He didn't see that after Nxf7 (as played in the game) or Nc6 (attacking b4 while also having access to e5) that if the rook then takes the attacked knight on d3 the remaining knight can move to e5, forking the king and the rook. He may have been playing to take advantage of a weak 1st rank too (eg. Nxb4, Rd1#). I guess he thought he would end up capturing one of the attacked knights while also forcing Naka to parry a looming back rank threat. However, as mentioned earlier, the e5 fork foils the plan. IDK, but that's my best guess.
He had 8 seconds left on his clock, so he didn't have a whole lot of time to think it through.
+Dragos Puri blunder, he probably thought he can still take a knight on d8 or d3 with that rd5 move but he missed Nxf7 saving the piece, now Rxd3 falls to Ne5+ followed by Nxe3, thats my opinion
Blunder. He saw Rd1 mate opportunity, and thought it would be strong to trade knights, (Rxd3)not realizing that would put his mating rook on a fork square after Nf7-e5+.
It's really too bad he decided to follow in Bobby Fischer's footsteps by quitting chess and becoming a professional crackpot. He's still so obviously capable of dominating the game.
why do you call him crackpot? what has he done wrong?
His unhealthy obsession with chess seems to have been transferred to an unhealthy obsession with Vladimir Putin, with all of the elegance of a scholar's mate attempt against a grandmaster.
Obviously I was referring to Kasparov.
I think very highly of Kasparov for opposing Putin. I'm not sure why It's an "unhealthy obsession" rather than a deep moral commitment to his country (which places his own welfare at risk). I had not known that Kasparov was antisemitic. Is there any evidence to support that claim?
+tony0000 Kasparov's politics are basically an extension of Bush-era neo-conservatism where the goal was to subdue and weaken Russia for the benefit of US geopolitical ambitions and corporate interests in resource exploitation. His goal was to be the one that the US propped up when Putin fell; the Saakasvhili or Poroshenko of Russia. That's why his approval ratings in Russia are in single-digits. People see right through his faux-patriotism.
old wolf still gots it
That 3rd game was weird
Garry Kasparov didn't quit the chess? Really i don't hear about it
He did quit professional chess, but he still plays every once in a while in such events.
+Amer Al-Hiyasat thanks
Is no one going to comment on Nakamura's blunder @ 18:05 Game 6???
What else to say? He overlooked the pawn fork. That's why he eventually lost that game, and the match.
Watteau66 what a sad day that was
Well, it's only blitz. Not like he lost the World Championship or anything. And it was against the 100-eyed monster called Garry Kasparov. Just enjoyable to watch blitz chess at this high level! Naka is such a creative and aggressive player!
2:49 how is that a draw? Nakamura had less than a second left.
There's a time increment, not sudden death blitz, so as long as Naka moves quickly, he'll always have time. Plus Naka can keep moving Ra5-a6-a5 and Garry could not make progress. He cannot move laterally, or else he'll lose material. Or Garry probably didn't look at Naka's clock, knowing Naka can shift his rook all day for time, since he was in no danger and it was up to Garry to improve the position.
Double pro garry, against himself by his own "students", against nakamura on talent!
Smooth jazz is better :D
why is game 1 a draw, clear loss on time.... not sure what the rules are on theses games, seems like kasparov killed the first one????
how bout blacks resoponse at 8:22 re1 mate
Nakamura won HOW?
Kasparov seems to be completely uninspired...
No commentary Jerry? *sad face*
6game wos so funny ))
the music is horrible!
that's why I used the mute button. It works.
Yeah I was thankful for the mute button.
nakamura wont lsot a game like that...i think he lost the game 6 on purpose
is very impressive how is possible play in that orrible sistem and to be so strong. i talk about nakamura, obv.
when did naka become so boring? no sicilian?
Sry ~but ...
