I really like that you actually play out the bad moves. As a casual amateur, it can sometimes be hard to see why a particular move is the best possible one in these grandmaster-level games.
I agree. There are a lot of resources that are more like: "This move is a good move because you're doing x," without explaining why other moves are less advantageous. But I find it both interesting and useful, to learn to analyze and recognize both good and bad moves. You'll not only learn to recognize when *you're* about to make a bad move, you'll also be better at recognizing when your opponent is blundering. Of course you can extrapolate from knowing that x is more advantageous, so y must be less advantageous, and experiment on your own. But it's cool to have a teacher-type taking you through it and explaining.
You should use a different color for your hypothetical moves and counters, blue for the actual game and when you are considering possible moves use red or green or something.
Keep the move colors and emphasis circles as is please, they are simple and easy to understand. Presenting, 'Jerry's carnival chess board' - I can see it now. :)
Hey Jerry, just wanna say that the quality of your latest videos is just perfect. Awesome game choices, simple yet thoroughly explanations, and the "did you know" at the end is really appreciated. Keep up the good work, we love ya man! :)
Same, I know the rules and play once in a blue moon if over someone's house and they have a board out, but I don't actively "follow" it or anything, yet find the videos quite interesting.
Why wouldn't you play? It's completely free online and you just sit in a chair. Not like there's anything stopping you. You could literally be playing a game 5 seconds after reading this.
Kasparov's achievements are truly marvellous. To breach the 2850 mark in that day and age, and remain on top of the chess world for two decades in one of its most competitive eras.
I love king walks, but I can't help wondering: are there any famous games where the side "getting walked" actually ends up winning? It just seems to me like the reason the king walks up the board is always to avoid a faster mate, but then they just end up getting mated anyway.
I tend to play 1 game of chess against each of my buddies that knows how to play. even if you only play a few times its a very interesting game and worth knowing.
Great game! I would have slid the rook out to D1 at the "what would you do" part. Sliding the queen to H8 displayed some awesome look-ahead skills. Thanks for posting!
Amazing calculation and "calm" from Garry. I'd have been so caught up in finishing the white attack - after sacrificing both bishops - that I probably would never have dropped back to defend against the black queen sac. Amazing. Kasparov is the GOAT.
I've been away from chess and chessnetwork for about a year, and it is great to come back recently to a new aesthetic and sharper production. Great content as always though.
I don't know how I got here but seeing sequences like this makes me want to take up chess again. I haven't played in years. Brilliant sacrifice of 2 bishops. Genius stuff.
Thank you! I don’t know what you are program you are using for this but I like it. Even if I can’t keep up with your speed, I can follow along in the spreadsheet. I appreciate your explanations.
Jerry: Thank you so much for these videos. It's so inspiring to see grandmaster games laid out so clearly. Last week I showed my daughter's middle-school chess team your video of Fischer's 21-move brilliancy --they were spellbound!
Have never watched a chess video ever, and TH-cam recommends this video for me. I click on the video and I get an ad for "Garry Kasparov Teaches Chess" Okay TH-cam, you can stop that.
Just a question (I'm a newbie to chess) why didn't white push the attack on the bishop with queen at 8:33 (queen to e7), it would put king in check and simultaneously stop the rook from being taken by creating a disadvantage to the other rook and take the bishop out of the equation, king has to move - Nevermind! I didn't notice the queen, the trade would likely be worse; (W)queen take (B)Bishop (B)queen take (W)queen (W)rook take (B)queen, (B)rook take (W)rook. Leaves 1 rook either side and black with board advantage with the knight and black rook.
I wonder how much of this Bxg7 Kasparov calculated. I would think that it's impossible to calculate all of it so he probably assessed it qualitatively and then calculated some lines to be more sure.
The double bishop sad against the castles king was laskers favourite and implemented it in more games then any other master at the time and is named after him
Looking at videos like this has improved my knowledge of chess, learning from greats is a must if you want to be above the rest. Thanks man for sharing.
I'm a math person but rarely play Chess (last time was at least 1 year ago) and i can get easily confused by the mathematical structure of the game itself from the start to the end pretty easily but i find such great works of scientific forms of art spectacular and very inspiring as a mathematician i aspire to be. Helps a lot finding the big steps to follow if you follow the great minds first.
The final sequence to force mate is beautiful the white queen dances around the whole board between all the other pieces to force the black king all the way down to e2 while the black queen tries to dance along and block but it ends with the white queen taking the black to deliver mate.
Nice Game fun to watch and listen to your analysis Those Bishop moves paid off can’t call them sacrifices since Kasparov didn’t think they were himself nice offensive tactics Enjoyed Thanks Much
The book "Great Brilliancy Prize Games of the Chess Masters" by Reinfeld contains lots of games that involve sacrifices into the castled king. I highly recommend that book.
I haven't p layed chess since I was a kid, or young teenager at the most. I've watched some of your other videos, and either I'm very tired now or this video covers some more advanced tactics without as much explaining as your other uploads that I've watched. Still enjoyed it though. Any suggestion for a computer program and/or website to start learning beginner tactics? Or maybe just start playing without learning from a site/program "just" for learning's sake?
At 6.59 i think Qh5 would have been best instead of Qf5 because there was double mating threat of Qh7 and Qh8. In the next move the check mating can only be saved by black giving up his queen by taking knight which will be recaptured by white rook and mating threat is still there at Qh8. Bkack will have to practically resign .
I don't know if black could have won this game from the position he was in at move 29, but playing knight c4 knowing it would eat up 2 moves to return it to a defending position, with king left open was surely the wrong move. At that point there are a couple of options to consider, namely bishop d6 opening up the rooks horizontal and threatening the diagonal down to whites pawn on h2. With blacks queen pinning whites pawn on f2, black can if needs be move his bishop to e5
At my peak, I predict at maximum 3 moves if no mate is involved, and can't be sure if isn't flawed; all the possibilities would take a lot of time. It's unreal to think they really see all those possible outcomes over and over throughout the game
Your videos really helped me improve my strategies and decision making in playing the game. Great job on explaining it thoroughly as well, sir. I'll make sure to subscribe to your channel! :D
@ChessNetwork - Thank you for another wonderful video, Jerry! I really missed these famous grandmaster chess game analyses! Also, I love the "Did you know" at the end of the videos!
When you're down material, you generally don't want to trade, because it will simplify the game and prevent you from taking advantage of whatever you sacrificed the material for. Conversely, if your opponent has sacrificed pieces for a prolonged attack (rather than a calculated sequence that gives you no true options) you should look to trade material to stall the attack and hasten the endgame.

I'm trying to use the bad moves as personal traps
i cant stop sacrificing my king
me too
I love this😂😂
😂

You should use a different color for your hypothetical moves and counters, blue for the actual game and when you are considering possible moves use red or green or something.
sicarius100 - yahhhh, was thinking the exact same thing
Yes!!
Great idea!

Keep the move colors and emphasis circles as is please, they are simple and easy to understand.

This is why we love you Jerry. :)
Exactly

+Luan44 Great to read that..thanks 👍🏼
Yep. Just left a comment that the style and quality is great. I also especially liked the "did you know?".
I don't even play chess and I love watching these. Keep up the good work!
Same, I know the rules and play once in a blue moon if over someone's house and they have a board out, but I don't actively "follow" it or anything, yet find the videos quite interesting.
U love the tactical dimension of the game :)
Trynottoblink you should learn. 😎😎😎
Why wouldn't you play? It's completely free online and you just sit in a chair. Not like there's anything stopping you. You could literally be playing a game 5 seconds after reading this.
You may be destined to play in the future.
these great uploads have been killing it lately!!!! Thanks!
👍
+ChessNetwork very nice analysis
For once (in a while), YT recommendations got it right. Great vid, keep it up.
👍
Kasparov's achievements are truly marvellous. To breach the 2850 mark in that day and age, and remain on top of the chess world for two decades in one of its most competitive eras.
12:06 If Bobby Fischer demanded $30,000 to play in this tournament, I wonder what Jerry would have charged.
Probably just a granola bar.
As long as it didn't involve revealing his face
Millions
To play with those names? He would have paid for it.
A tier 3 sub
I don't even play chess and yet your videos are so enjoyable to watch! I just keep coming back to these, keep up the good work!
One of the best clearest commentators - thanks! Just the right rhythmic balance of analysis and pauses.
I love king walks, but I can't help wondering: are there any famous games where the side "getting walked" actually ends up winning? It just seems to me like the reason the king walks up the board is always to avoid a faster mate, but then they just end up getting mated anyway.
Short vs Timman 1991
^^ If you haven't seen this game go look at it right now. th-cam.com/video/-iqL2Ald3SU/w-d-xo.html here is Mato's video covering it.
you can also look at petrosian games, he was known because of his king walks
I remember a really cool king walk by Nigel Short where he marched his king to the 6th rank to assist his queen in giving checkmate.
Theres´ a famous one by Alekhine but I don't remember which is the actual game
Ive never played chess before. I have no idea how to play. But I am watching this. Why.
its an infinitely deep game and part of ur deep self appreciates the tactics of the game, learn to play, perhaps this is a calling
google knows you better than you know you yourself
I tend to play 1 game of chess against each of my buddies that knows how to play. even if you only play a few times its a very interesting game and worth knowing.
Fish Abuser learn it , live it, love it.
Maybe you used to play in previous lifetimes
I thoroughly enjoy the pop quizzes
Zain Du Toit does hero association really bored you that you've been watching chess ? haha
I remember when this game was published in the chess mags back in 1983. It made quite a stir.

Great game! I would have slid the rook out to D1 at the "what would you do" part. Sliding the queen to H8 displayed some awesome look-ahead skills. Thanks for posting!
Similar opinion here with limited calculations though
Watching this video makes me realize how little I know of this game
Killer video. Such fluid explanations of small but important points throughout. Great learning material, thanks!
Thanks IB :)
Your uploaded videos are the best gifts for those chess lovers who hasn't any coach but loves chess most and wants to learn everything in chess.
Thanks Jerry, learned a lot. The game with its instructive analysis should be watched more than once.
Amazing calculation and "calm" from Garry. I'd have been so caught up in finishing the white attack - after sacrificing both bishops - that I probably would never have dropped back to defend against the black queen sac. Amazing. Kasparov is the GOAT.

+memespace Cool 😎 Thanks 👍🏼
I got an ad for Garry's master class on this video 😂
I don't know how I got here but seeing sequences like this makes me want to take up chess again. I haven't played in years. Brilliant sacrifice of 2 bishops. Genius stuff.
great video man, really enjoy "crazy moves" like these
Thank you! I don’t know what you are program you are using for this but I like it. Even if I can’t keep up with your speed, I can follow along in the spreadsheet. I appreciate your explanations.
@4:00 Jerry sounds like a boxing commentator.
Asombroso por decir lo menos...como pudo ver tantas jugadas tras un doble sacrificio en el amanecer de la partida !!!
Great analysis of end game variations.
Black was so close to checkmating White.
I don't know how I went from watching study videos to watching games of chess, but this video was the break I needed! haha
Jerry: Thank you so much for these videos. It's so inspiring to see grandmaster games laid out so clearly. Last week I showed my daughter's middle-school chess team your video of Fischer's 21-move brilliancy --they were spellbound!
+John Gibson Thank you John. I appreciate your support and sharing the channel with others. I love hearing the videos reach the classroom.
Thank you verry much Jerry for making these videos! Great video and great game of chess as always!
Have never watched a chess video ever, and TH-cam recommends this video for me.
I click on the video and I get an ad for "Garry Kasparov Teaches Chess"
Okay TH-cam, you can stop that.
Arrows and graphics make your commentary superior. It's really instructive and clarifying. Thanks.
Loving the videos lately. Perfect length, great games, great analysis.
Just a question (I'm a newbie to chess) why didn't white push the attack on the bishop with queen at 8:33 (queen to e7), it would put king in check and simultaneously stop the rook from being taken by creating a disadvantage to the other rook and take the bishop out of the equation, king has to move -

Leaves 1 rook either side and black with board advantage with the knight and black rook.
8:12 can we have a queen exchange 😂😂
I love the commentary so much. It's deadpan but somehow that's the right mood lmao
What a beautiful game with fantastic commentary.
when you showed how the opposing player could have won, I was blown away. Those kinds of tips and tricks are definitely welcomed.
I wonder how much of this Bxg7 Kasparov calculated. I would think that it's impossible to calculate all of it so he probably assessed it qualitatively and then calculated some lines to be more sure.
He was the best calculator in the world until Deep Blue.
Very nice video :) Just the right amount of comments, description of possible plays, etc, I like it !
very qualitative analysis. clear. fast. nothing extra.
Very much enjoyed this selected game and commentary. Excellent pacing and analysis.
Thank you Brian. 😎
Thanks Jerry. Very very intuitive and fun to watch. Keep doing, we keep watching!
Hey Jerry, thanks for reviewing these great matches. Whose style of play do you like more: Karpov or Kasparov?
These videos are terribly interesting and really makes you appreciate the intricacies of the game.
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand 1526373$17
Fantastic! I really like demonstrating the other options to the real game played. Well done!
Garry: [sacrifices a bishop]
Me : [resigns the game]
It's a great mating net. I'm glad that I noticed a lot of those moves.
The double bishop sad against the castles king was laskers favourite and implemented it in more games then any other master at the time and is named after him

love your content jerry
Finally. A channel that makes fine analysis. Big thumb up.
I really like these videos a lot, keep it up 👌🏽
I think Garry Kasparov is the closest thing to A.I. level play that humans can replicate.
I love when you dive into a grand master games, your analyzation is always spot on
I'm a math person but rarely play Chess (last time was at least 1 year ago) and i can get easily confused by the mathematical structure of the game itself from the start to the end pretty easily but i find such great works of scientific forms of art spectacular and very inspiring as a mathematician i aspire to be.

Nice to read that Robert. 😎
The best channel about chess Jerry
Very nice analysis, I like the arrows, great explanations !

Young kasparov was a beast.
Nice Game fun to watch and listen to your analysis Those Bishop moves paid off can’t call them sacrifices since Kasparov didn’t think they were himself nice offensive tactics Enjoyed Thanks Much
Fun game. While already in trouble, Black's Ne5 is the losing move, black had Be6 .
Thank you Jerry, you're informative, funny, and you have a soothing voice.
The quizzes are super helpful! Thanks for the vids.
ahhh take me back to my chess days. Subscribed
Welcome back! 😎
The book "Great Brilliancy Prize Games of the Chess Masters" by Reinfeld contains lots of games that involve sacrifices into the castled king. I highly recommend that book.
Very good explanation, do more videos.
Thanking you
Come back to this jack

Hi Jerry it's everyone. Just wanna let ya know others and especially I are very grateful for your efforts. Good day
Thank you Robert.
Great commentary, thanks 🙏🏻
Awesome analysis! Also, it would be a great thing to highlight the possible moves in different color to separate them from the actual ones.
Enjoying the uploads as always. Hope to play you again, other than our one encounter on bullet king of the hill a year or so ago :)
+TheCheddarMan1 thanks TCM :)
This was a very easy to comprehend instructional video, I really enjoyed it!
Awesome play. Really enjoyed your analysis and explanation of moves...
Kasparov is awesome! He’s my favorite player. And they should have paid the man! (Bobby Fischer that is).
Agreed, regarding Fischer. $30k is a modest sum.
I don't know if black could have won this game from the position he was in at move 29, but playing knight c4 knowing it would eat up 2 moves to return it to a defending position, with king left open was surely the wrong move. At that point there are a couple of options to consider, namely bishop d6 opening up the rooks horizontal and threatening the diagonal down to whites pawn on h2. With blacks queen pinning whites pawn on f2, black can if needs be move his bishop to e5
i had everything planned to checkmate starting with Rc1, but haven't realised that Qxf2...
Jerry: will you cover any of the upcoming TCEC games?
This is very nice analyzed, keep them coming
Those Queen walks are so extremely beautiful..... Thank you!
Just found this site. Very well explained and presented.
+Steve O'Gorman Thank you Steve 👍🏼
At second 7:50 there is also a possible movement of the King to g7 that at least assures a draw for black
At my peak, I predict at maximum 3 moves if no mate is involved, and can't be sure if isn't flawed; all the possibilities would take a lot of time. It's unreal to think they really see all those possible outcomes over and over throughout the game
The final move to play is rook to d8 that way the king is trapped between the rook and the queen
Your videos really helped me improve my strategies and decision making in playing the game. Great job on explaining it thoroughly as well, sir. I'll make sure to subscribe to your channel! :D

This game appears in Israel Gelfer's "The Positional Chess Handbook."
How about Qe7 at the "very important moment"?
thank you for posting this. A few errors in this game, but very enjoyable.
Can we expect any games from ivanchuk Jerry?? Like ivanchuk vs topalov Sicilian najdorf
Thanks for sharing this awesome game! 👍
What about on that pause moving rook on F1 to D1? Supporting the rook and threatening mate?
what i was thinking too
i think it's because of Qc1
no, it would've worked better actualy because if black plays Qc1, white checks Qe7, then Kg8, Rd8 checkmate.
No, it won't work. If white moves rook to D1, black would take rook on d7, and it will be over for the white.
When you're down material, you generally don't want to trade, because it will simplify the game and prevent you from taking advantage of whatever you sacrificed the material for. Conversely, if your opponent has sacrificed pieces for a prolonged attack (rather than a calculated sequence that gives you no true options) you should look to trade material to stall the attack and hasten the endgame.
I’ve been learning a lot from your channel, thanks.
Great to read that! :)
I can't resist to realise how your showmanity improved over the years.
I love your way of describing do you have more videos?
