@@sheniz1337 Kasparov became a world champion in 1985. Taking into account he beat IBM computer in 1996 we can imagine how weak computers were 11 years before that happened. Add here it was in the late USSR which was quite behind digital progress at that time at least. And he lost his crown in 2000 which is the time computers were used for training and they became stronger than humans just a few years before that. Yes, I am pretty sure he used a computer for training in his late career. He connected two eras. He became the champion when all chess players were "natural" and retired when all chess players were "digital" (trained with computer help). This makes him legendary.
@@sheniz1337 no, they weren't a "big" part of it. he didn't have personal access to Deep Blue, and other engines were still weak (the strength of DB largely relied on specially designed supercomputer hardware it run on). by the time computers became a serious help for a top-level player, Kasparov's dominance was already coming to an end. he got beaten by Kramnik in 2000 (and retired a few years later, after the rematch never materialized). computers certainly played SOME part in his preparation (and the resulting performance), but it didn't happen until the last chapter of his career.

Korchnoi is, or believe in things that have never happened (i've recently read a comment where one of his fans was absolutely convinced Carlsen crushed Kasparov at the age of 13) etc. etc. which sheds some light onto their relation with the chess scene in general

I have to confess being fond of Gary as a person. I have listened to him comment on a number of historical documentaries with respect to the history of Russia. He is very knowledgeable.
Nowadays, he acts as a dissident against current Russian regime. He knows some things, just by being a Russian and then expanding on his knowledge, but I still wouldn't say, Gary is knowledgeable deep enough in political and historical matters. Knowing more than an average russian is not enough to be called knowledgeable
sorry to disappoint you, but Gary was a fan of quite controversial historical theories, like that we know history from 18 century till modern days only at best, and everything what was earlier is just wrongly interpreted a mess by historians. It seem he changed his views but nevertheless I would not listen him at all when it's about history as a subject.
this is why i like magnus. No other GM would have the confidence to let someone else play a move for them, Magnus just does it for the memes and knows that he can handle the position
@@MeshRoun I heard him say: "No you can play Knight F3" but I couldnt hear Gary clearly in the line before that but he definitely said something. I think he asked Magnus "Knight F3" or something along those lines
Magnus and Garry are both very very special players and both can be considered the GOAT. The thing is in 15 years there will be a new world number 1 and that player will obviously be playing the best moves ever played in chess because of computers and chess evolving, but just because they're playing better moves doesn't mean they will be one of the top top players of all time like Kasparov or Magnus. They are VERY special players regardless of technology or chess evolution. The current world number 1 will always be playing the best chess of all time, but that doesn't make them anywhere near the GOAT, but with Magnus and Garry it's different because of all their other accomplishments as well.
@@billj4525 human memorization has a limit. Those new computer era chess player you are talking about are just opening memorization kids. That's why this "opening theory stage" has been elongated compared to the past decades. But as I said, memorization has a limit. Magnus is actually in this generation. But he takes out of the box this attribute in the midgame, and with his superior endgame understanding. In other words, he is genetically gifted and he expressed those genes by training intensely, effort and family support. That's 1 of a kind every century. (In the entire planet).
I have a feeling that Kasparov sees himself in Magnus. To him, Magnus reminds him of himself and somewhat resembles a reinvigorated and young Garry Kasparov reincarnated at present time to dominate the world and bring back Chess to popular attention. There is one more thing about Kasparov and here it is. While most people love an activity for as long as they are good at it and can sustain a level of dominance, for Kasparov Chess is something to be preserved and precious in its own right. He wants the game to be present and active and wholeheartedly wants the game to shine regardless of his being the champion or not. No other player, including Magnus (and I am a die hard Magnus fan btw) shares the same amount of affection for the game. This factor also contributes to Kasparov liking and admiring Magnus so much.
Kasparov sees Magnus as his successor and does not recognize those champions after him and before Magnus important to chess history. He sees Magnus as the continuation of the line Fisher-Karpov-Kasparov-Magnus succession line and acknowledges Magnus as the one leading the chess world after his retirement.

Credit to Magnus that he effectively allowed Kasparov to play any move for him to start the game out of respect. He wanted 1.Nf3 and was just like whatevs sure go ahead. Yes, Garry to his credit asked for clarification, and Magnus got his move in the end. But to my eye, it's clear Magnus didn't want to go for just any move and decided history was more important.
Even if Garry played h3 as a joke, Magnus can take that back and play whatever first move he intended to play. Chess games are not determined by the whim of the celebrity participating in this small and entertaining ceremony. This kind of thing happens a lot in World Chess Championship matches, since this task is usually done by a non-chess celebrity as well, where they choose an absurd move as a joke. If Garry had played anything but Nf3, Magnus would have taken it back. This isn't a big historical moment, these players play a ton of such tournaments every year, and Magnus and Garry interact like this a lot and often.
@@frrmack while what you've written is undoubtedly true, I think you've missed the point. Kasparov is not going to play 1 h3, and you have no idea if Magnus would take back 1 e4.

@@NihongoWakannai In the words of Bobby Fischer "Opening lines ruined chess". In that context you are right. But in today's Professional world of Chess 1.

Most people play first moves with pawns that knownnothing of Chess. Moves like 1. a4, h4, g4? These are not generally considered good opening pawn moves. As I stated, Garry knew what he was doing here and even though this Knight move looked insignificant to *you* Magnus found it worthy enough to continue play instead of taking back the move 1. Nf3.

@@saudude2174 it was years later. the draw was when Magnus was like 13, and Kasparov started coaching him when he was 17, give or less (i'm too lazy to look it up, but that should be in the ballpark)
@@vibovitold Kasparov started coaching him way before. It's all in the documentary, they met shortly after their first matches. Kasparov taught Magnus a lot, Magnus was impressed by his knowledge. You can literally watch the interviews with him in the documentary scenes on youtube.
Guys, easy. I just mentioned that Kasparov really likes Magnus, and I knew, he coached him. It's just heartwarming to see them together. Kasparov has this father behaviour
That's because he doesn't give a damn. Remember that Magnus has spent quite a bit of time with Garry already. He knows him much better than you do at the very least.
Kasparovs move was actually a good choice if you want to make someone's first move. It's very flexible. It's also an Opening that Magnus has played quite a lot recently so we know Garry likely followed Magnus Games. Although that was obvious from the start.

He likes to have piece of mind.
@@davidcopson5800 it's a form of psychological trick on his part. he notably does that against lower-rated opponents more often than against the very top ones.
This man is a legend
Magus really didn't sound too pleased though 😂
Kasparov clearly likes Magnus.
Magnus was his pupil for some time after he drew one game with him as a 12 year old. They have quite a history.
@@saudude2174 it was years later. the draw was when Magnus was like 13, and Kasparov started coaching him when he was 17, give or less (i'm too lazy to look it up, but that should be in the ballpark)
@@vibovitold Kasparov started coaching him way before. It's all in the documentary, they met shortly after their first matches. Kasparov taught Magnus a lot, Magnus was impressed by his knowledge. You can literally watch the interviews with him in the documentary scenes on youtube.
Guys, easy. I just mentioned that Kasparov really likes Magnus, and I knew, he coached him. It's just heartwarming to see them together. Kasparov has this father behaviour
Imagine if Garry had asked Magnus "Should I do 1.a3?" 🤣
Legend!
Given the boldness of Kasaprov I thought he would sit at the table and say I will play a bit until he arrives.
01:22 MVL is working out too much his left arm
the other arm is too busy moving pieces \_(¨/)_/
@0:21 .... Wesley *really* wanted to shake Gary’s hand
Kasparov LEGEND
Ah yess. The legendary late gambit
this is to much ... Did Magnus really just arrived late with a beer bottle...
It's great to see OTB chess so alive and well, even after all the computers, politics, streaming.
All of the above are CONTRIBUTING factors to the popularity of chess imo
Kasparov is real legend 💯
That title is as clever as it can be.
when did this poker guy started playing chess?
He is the greatest chess player ever. Poker is his secondary game
@@Sivajivaylajilebi r/whoosh
Come on Magnus. Kasparov is there. Salute him, give him a proper handshake. Don’t sit down like you do not give a damn.
That's because he doesn't give a damn. Remember that Magnus has spent quite a bit of time with Garry already. He knows him much better than you do at the very least.
Salute? Bro Kasparov is his teacher he ain't a navy admiral
Good luck.🎉
muscle memory of organizing each pieces
If Magnus loses, he has someone to blame
Kasparovs move was actually a good choice if you want to make someone's first move.
It's very flexible. It's also an Opening that Magnus has played quite a lot recently so we know Garry likely followed Magnus Games. Although that was obvious from the start.
Magnus told him what to play
oof that initial fist bump rejection was brutal
A Real Chess Legend 🏆🏆🏆 Ka... I learned a lot but those were books and chess newspapers and today the internet is full of everything that goes on around chess ❗Which is very good
Carlsen is a bit arrogant
the goat needs a haircut
Not at all
man bun carlsen is good!
What's wrong with Garry's hair?
@@raik747lmao
Kasparov’s hair is fine!
Kasparov!!!! El más grande!!!!!
Magnus is late a lot. Unprofessional.
Goat and Goat
Gods of Chess
Kasparovs smile. What a dude, that skull holds an engine.
I thought Magnus was having a beer when he sat down lol
