I purchased a few of the Saitek Kasparov series of computers in the early '90s. I enjoyed them very much with many, many hours played against them, when there was no other opponent to play. 😎
Me too.I was diagnosed w/ cancer in late 91 and after having been away from competitive chess returned w/ a frenzy...That Saitek was monumental for me ! Cheers !
@@kevinmurphy3307 Hi, Kev - Wow. You're response is so relevant, as I now sit here with stage 3 colo-rectal cancer... Strange days, man. But onto lighter fare; have you watched the HBO produced documentary on Bobby Fischer ? It's here on TH-cam & I think it's called Bobby Fischer vs. The World. About an hour and a half long & so worthwhile to watch. Larry Evans' & Anthony Saidy's input on him were remarkably insightful, I thought. Do take time to watch this at some point. One of the best things I've watched in some time, actually. It leaves you hurting inside for the man, as he clearly went the way of Paul Morphy....

I'm a 50 y/o dude- but HANDSOME !!) So, the Fischer DVD isn't lost on you, huh ? Is there anything else out there that is comparable that you're aware of ? Meaning, chess in general... Did you see Pawn Sacrifice ? My father loved chess & taught it to me. I actually became better than him, somewhat. But, we were still basically patzers, never having entered any sort of competition. But the love of the game is all that matters in the end, and the Fischers, Kasparovs, Carlsens, Karpovs, ect. are just something that the rest of us just get to marvel at and behold.

Maybe he's a woman, so you do good not to call him "man". Being politically correct, you cannot do any wrong, right? - Welcome to the 21st century society!
@@morten1975dk yes, there are no conspiracies - the world is rainbows and cotton wool, run by benevolent old guys who never lie and want to take care of you. no, most of what most people know, is simply not true and controlled.
Fascinating documentary, just so strange. The music, the woman with the ridiculous Kasparov art pieces, Kasparov wine, the chronological conspiracy theory...
Anand didnt have the steel nerves nor the cold blood to beat Kasparov while Kramnik had both, that´s why Kramnik is the only player who could often beat him, in fact is the only one who beat him in a match, i doubt Carlsen or Aronian could beat him in a match or in tournaments.
so how come carlsen has a massively superior record over kramnik. kramnik is one of the weakest champions in history and was lucky enough to play kasparov in the twilight of his career. anyone who knows the first thing about chess knows you cannot compare kramnik to carlsen.
Henrique Brito and others >>> I think it has something to do with when Kasparov broke with FIDE in 1993. At one time there was 6 worldchampions at the same time. Totally insane and irrational chaos. A corrupt chessfederation which probably made Kasparov leave them and found PCA. It could also mean that Short was a junior worldchampion once. It probably can be investigated. By the way I would love it if I could have Kasparov as trainer everyday for 6 months.
I've always liked this documentary. It continues the history of Chess in a favorable light. Time marches on and chess (Western Chess) continues to spread in popularity. Example: China.
"Kasparov remembers all the figures and dates he's read, all the telephone numbers he's dialed, and of course all the games he's played, including the simultaneous matches." OK, I'm calling bullshit on this one.
Not likely. If the games were heavy theory then he most likely remembers the games to a certain point and the critical tactical points but doesn't remember the entire game. Dates are fairly easy so that's also possible. Phone numbers also because in the 80s and 90s most people had people's numbers memorized because you had to actually dial land line phones in the days before cell phones. This is mostly true
you are really ignorant about the incredible memory of the world chess champion, even the past world chess champion. They will not become world chess champion if their memory is just like an ordinary. Chess training need a powerful memory to remember all the moves or games during the analysis. Bobby Fischer remember all the games he played in a blitz tournament and recited all the thousand moves while on dinner.
Would love to play against Kasparov in a simul and fuck about with pieces: turn the knights around backward, and the king facing a different direction each time he's back at the board
This Documentary is modeled after Soviet-era Media and other Documentary Pictures. The Soviet School of Cinema and the Theoretical Developmentst that Eisenstein and his coterie developed are not those (at least necessarily) employed even by Filmmakers such as Tarkovski. This is very 'manufactured,' as were many elements of Soviet Society.
He says he didn't have the childhood most people have because he spent a lot of time on chess. That's understandable. But many people these days have atypical childhoods because of video games, and it's not a bad thing either.
I'm afraid a documentary that starts with saying Gary kasparov is the greatest chess player of all time tells me that its no good. I'm a kasparov fan but you can't say a world champion of one age is better than one of another for definite.
Garry Kasparov was world champion when I first learned the game of chess. I was 14 years old when I got introduced to the game. I've been playing for close to 30 years now, still know my chances of ever winning against Garry Kasparov is None. It would be equivalent to a white belt fighting an 8th degree black belt
My theory is that the same thing that makes people really good at detecting real patterns is the same thing that helps them see patterns that aren't there.
Excellent description. The isolation endured by many top achievers and intelligent people compounds the problem. But I've also thought for some time that the inclination to strategic thinking, of viewing everything in terms of tactics, can leave a great chess player mentally unbalanced. Anyone who spends 18 hours a day focused on just one thing like chess is already pushing themselves to the limit. But if they begin to view everyday life as a chess problem to be solved, this is very damaging. People like Fischer seemed to have Aspergers, and was already probably predisposed to schizophrenia. Give him super intellectual abilities and world fame and...well, we know what happens then.
Beyond a certain level, focused genius in one discipline is usually attended by notable deficiencies in most others. Kasparov has the benefit of his deficiencies being in benign aspects of life. He is no lunatic, merely eccentric. And he has accomplished much which benefits mankind.
The Commentary in this Documentary is off in a few areas, as Kasparov's Deep Blue debacle is here referred to as "his defeat of," and while Kasparov won the first Match, is the year they state not incorrect?
I don't even think it counts as a deadest despite whatever IBM and the judges said. He asked for logs of the computer having thought that one move and as far as I know they didn't provide it.
@@rokanza2293 I have the same gut-feeling. Neither a socalled "crazy" Fischer at his best or a socalled thousand-eyed monster like Kasparov is something to be unserious about. In my view they´ve probably been the players that prepared best against their opponents.
I have no doubts about Harry's abilities. But I see how this film was made in a hurry. Short - was never a world champion, but here he is listed as such. There were only 12 world champions before Kasparov - how can you not find out who they are before writing something like that?
Kasparov is a genius chess player but he should leave politics alone. Like many who grew up in the Soviet Union, he idealized the west. He can’t seem to see how evil and corrupt the west has become over the last fifty years or so. I can understand his dislike for the Soviet Union but such an intelligent man should be able to see the world more clearly.
It is interesting that if a person knows at least two languages, in this case, Kasparov knows English and Russian (maybe a third language as well), it is like having two personalities.
the juxtaposition of the music and the subject/matter was quite brilliant imo.im curious what yr was this made? Im guessing late 90s early 2000 or 2001?
48:o4 "Nothing was made in Greece!" Interesting how the new word order is trying to rewrite history! And it is also interesting how the have hired very important figures, like Kasparov, to do their job.
I don't know which specific board you refer to as the documentary shows many boards. But search google for "buy chess" and check big sites. They're all very good. I bought things at Chessbazaar and it was great.
Hello. Well that depends how you define "decline". He kept his rating like always...about ~ 2840-50....like many years before. Carlsen is THE ONE have surpassed him at rating....and I know rating is not all.....also I guess you know rating suffer from "inflation"....and still with that Aronian can't get a higher rating.... Another point of view..Carlsen (who is clearly the best) have been trained by....precissely Kasparov. That don't mean of course he couldn't beat Kasparov, but not so "destroy"
A MUITO TEMPO NAO JOGAVA , MAIS MEU FILHO DE 5 ANOS COMEÇOU, A SE ENTERESSAR , VOLTEI PQ VI UM FUTURO BRILHANTE , P O PHILLIP, PARBENS KASPAROV PELA INICIATIVA DE MOTIVAR AS CRIANÇAS E ADOLECENTES NESSE ILUMINADO MUDO Q É O '''CHESS''
I beat him at the age of 16, watch the al jazeera 2013 interview. In his place playing on an earpiece was a Bene israelite with a legend name of Apoorv
Has someone or people, emotionally hurt you in life, Ahmad? Do you have a deep underlying desire to wish to get back at someone or people?

Garry's english improved over the years :)
Almost all great chess players have an extraordinary memory. Contrary to what many people think, memory in chess is key.
Very true, though for most players their memory is subconsciously developed - just by playing.
Bobby Fischer said so himself when he went to Iceland and that is why he hated chess. It’s so much about memorization. That’s why he created Fischer random chess.
And great imagination too

I wish chess players talked to each other more often. It might be a battle of two people, but youre all in the same boat.
talking has a tendency to interrupt concentration. they aren't playing a friendly game over a few drinks, this is their livelihood.

Another sad case of premature retirement. It would have been awesome to have him around a little longer. As a fully invested professional, that is.

But if they begin to view everyday life as a chess problem to be solved, this is very damaging. People like Fischer seemed to have Aspergers, and was already probably predisposed to schizophrenia. Give him super intellectual abilities and world fame and...well, we know what happens then.
Some might consider the total dedication to the game as a kind of an insanity.
Beyond a certain level, focused genius in one discipline is usually attended by notable deficiencies in most others. Kasparov has the benefit of his deficiencies being in benign aspects of life. He is no lunatic, merely eccentric. And he has accomplished much which benefits mankind.
Gary is like Chadzz Michael Michaels in Blades of Glory. As Chazz IS figure skating, Gary IS chess!
The Commentary in this Documentary is off in a few areas, as Kasparov's Deep Blue debacle is here referred to as "his defeat of," and while Kasparov won the first Match, is the year they state not incorrect?
I don't even think it counts as a deadest despite whatever IBM and the judges said. He asked for logs of the computer having thought that one move and as far as I know they didn't provide it.
''THE BIG KING HUNTING SEASON''Kasparov.
I wonder how a match between Fischer at his best and Kasparov at his best would turn out. Would have been interesting to watch.
Garry would crush him
I would bet on Fischer but it could go either way
@@rokanza2293 I have the same gut-feeling. Neither a socalled "crazy" Fischer at his best or a socalled thousand-eyed monster like Kasparov is something to be unserious about. In my view they´ve probably been the players that prepared best against their opponents.
I love kasparov
Do not comment on his life... it is his personal life. Kasparov is the undoubtedly the greatest chess player
it is highly doubtable actually. on rating alone it would be carlsen, who is yet to hit his peak.
I have no doubts about Harry's abilities. But I see how this film was made in a hurry. Short - was never a world champion, but here he is listed as such. There were only 12 world champions before Kasparov - how can you not find out who they are before writing something like that?
True. Very sloppy. But an interesting docu all the same.
14:40.....I thought Ripley and Hicks were gonna come out looking for Aliens
Kasparov is a genius chess player but he should leave politics alone. Like many who grew up in the Soviet Union, he idealized the west. He can’t seem to see how evil and corrupt the west has become over the last fifty years or so. I can understand his dislike for the Soviet Union but such an intelligent man should be able to see the world more clearly.
9:00 wow is that batik that kasparov wear?
is there any "Garry Kasparov : The Pizza Baker" video around?
22:20 that back hair. all that testosterone action.
It is interesting that if a person knows at least two languages, in this case, Kasparov knows English and Russian (maybe a third language as well), it is like having two personalities.
The art of that lady at 36:00 is such crap. It's junk. lol
So bad lol, chess pieces on everything
Kramnik outclassed him in London though
the juxtaposition of the music and the subject/matter was quite brilliant imo.im curious what yr was this made? Im guessing late 90s early 2000 or 2001?
That 30K fee was the price MANY years ago, wonder what his fee is today?
48:o4 "Nothing was made in Greece!" Interesting how the new word order is trying to rewrite history! And it is also interesting how the have hired very important figures, like Kasparov, to do their job.
Kasparov is a useful idiot when it comes to politics and history.
47 minutes to evidence his brilliance, then two minutes to destroy it all with the evidence of his superstitious delusions. That's too bad.
where can i buy a chess board like this on video? please someone give me a link, im crazy about it. tnks.
I don't know which specific board you refer to as the documentary shows many boards. But search google for "buy chess" and check big sites. They're all very good. I bought things at Chessbazaar and it was great.
Hello. Well that depends how you define "decline". He kept his rating like always...about ~ 2840-50....like many years before.
Carlsen is THE ONE have surpassed him at rating....and I know rating is not all.....also I guess you know rating suffer from "inflation"....and still with that Aronian can't get a higher rating....
Another point of view..Carlsen (who is clearly the best) have been trained by....precissely Kasparov. That don't mean of course he couldn't beat Kasparov, but not so "destroy"
Anyone knows what is bothering Kasparov at 5:45?
God created Kasparov to be a world chess champion!
since when nigel short became world champion
The hair on his back proves that he's Armenian! :D
Are Armenians hairier than Azerbaijanis?
I am a young chess player can you share some tactics to always win
Play better than your opponent.
no such thing.
There are tactics to try and win, but nothing guaranteed to win.
kasparov is a funny guy
40 years old?! He looked at least 50 in this video
Just to be accurate, Nigel Short has never been world champion.
37:30 shitty pieces of art lol
12.30.... does anyone know where Kasparov is here???
I dont think Aronian can beat Kasparov in a match if GK plays tournament to get out the rusty, Carlsen has more chance to beat him today.
No, i didnt, but Karpov have a negative record against Kasparov, in their matches were epic and close.
karpov, over hundreds of individual games vs kasparov was only -2, so almost equal.
At 17:08. Magnus Carlsen's father, Henrik?
Now I know why I'm not a GM. I cannot do 102 push ups
Only horses and chess players get a ring of flowers put around their necks when they win.
They also get extra hay
@@daveyork0 LOL
does kasparov wearing "batik"?
The Beast of Baku!!!! Redoutable
5:46 "Get the fuck back peasant"
A MUITO TEMPO NAO JOGAVA , MAIS MEU FILHO DE 5 ANOS COMEÇOU, A SE ENTERESSAR , VOLTEI PQ VI UM FUTURO BRILHANTE , P O PHILLIP, PARBENS KASPAROV PELA INICIATIVA DE MOTIVAR AS CRIANÇAS E ADOLECENTES NESSE ILUMINADO MUDO Q É O '''CHESS''
5:45 😂😂😂😂
This man is cleverer than me.
u dont say
I beat him at the age of 16, watch the al jazeera 2013 interview. In his place playing on an earpiece was a Bene israelite with a legend name of Apoorv
Do I know you, Ahmad!
I have just looked up what Habibi means.
Are you someone who lived near me or knows me?
All The Best, anyway!
Cheers - Mike.
Has someone or people, emotionally hurt you in life, Ahmad?
Do you have a deep underlying desire to wish to get back at someone or people?
People usually get what they deserve in life and everything usually works itself out!
Life lived involves pain!
I have never lived and so live a sad life with even worse pain!
With Best Wishes!
Mikey!
