Tonight , I checkmate my opponent, James loses his queen . And Richard quits chess .(If you know in which reference I am talking about . Its limenade :- that meme youtube channel )
When Vishy plays like this he is every bit as entertaining as Tal in his prime. My head spins trying to sort through how he could possibly see the combinations of moves he seems to always find. Great video and analysis!
I met him a few years ago in the Cap d agde event. I exchange a few words with him about his book and how to use it. I still have the picture of him and i on my desk. Nice nice guy !!!
GothamChess: He didn't say all that, they don't speak to eachother over the board chess. Everyone: But they do give each other stares that are like flares over the board 😂
Wow Levy. What a homage you have paid Vishy! Described the game so well, tongue in cheek! Great selection too as its probably a lesser known absolute jewel.
Picasso once said it took me a lifetime to learn to paint like a child again... In this game Anand played like a complete beginner, or at least his play reminded me of how I used to play before I learned how to play chess... With the difference that he crushed a GM. Absolute jaw dropping genius from Anand, and before computers existing to validate his moves, shows Anands true genius and passion for the game... I can see in my imagination Anand prior to that game playing on his own with these variations on his board some cold night of winter drinking hot chocolate and hearing the drizzle of the rain outside planning out his moves! Chess is a wonderful game :)
One correction: Everything will be exactly as it is.....except for the fact that it will either be a ROBUSTA coffee in a stailess steel cup or a NILGIRI tea in polymer cup
Its more like vishy himself . Tal's style was much different than the great attacker's in chess like Alekhine,Fischer,Kasparov,Anand, Shirov,Nezhmetdinov and others
I can't wait for Ivanchuk's best game, although he has so many that showcase his insane creativity and attacking genius. I hope you'll feature his game against Kasparov from 1991 Linares tournament.
If anyone ever doubted that Vishy is a genius, they just need to watch this. What a beast of a talent. Here is how I would feel playing Vishy. White: Moves pawn. Me: Resign.
Unpopular opinion but for me, the Aronian game was diminished because it was, in Aronian's words, a "theoretical trap". The standout moves Bc5! and Ne5! were computer moves Anand discovered in his world championship prep. It's still a great game because Anand was able to finish the attack and found f5! over the board.
I'm partial to the Aronian game because I watched it live in one of the first Chess tournaments I ever watched, but I get the point about it being a computer discovered theoretical trap.
Wow. This may be my favorite game ever. I just love how none of the moves felt like the engine's best move...they all felt like someone who was just a few steps ahead at all times.
@@crazypomp927 Yeah it's good but Botvinnik did some unnecessary mistakes in the Position. I love the game where he thinks about the Hippo in the USSR championship. i think it was against smyslov no?
@@bosniandankmemer1821 All great games inevitably involve the opponent making some mistakes so I don't see the mistakes by Botvinnik as diminishing the game's greatness at all.
Thanks for this game. Been a fan of Anand since he was in grade 7 or 8 . I fell in love with chess watching him play then and have never quite gotten over it . You've got have seen the "lightning" kid then ! Its true : "Chess, Like Love, Like Music, Has The Power To Make Men Happy." - Siegbert Tarrasch
yes sir vishy anand has been honored with Padma Vibhushan award it's like highest civilian award. i love this analysis of old games of many other legend. 👍 i am buddhist but in chess world vishy sir is my gautam buddha.
Thanks Levy for making this excellent video! Absolutely incredible for Anand to find so many brilliant moves in this game back in 1997. At par with his immortal win against Aronian, if not better.
Great energy as always, Levy. This was a beautiful example of the kind of chess that I would like to play. Very very tactical with leaving his bishop in danger in order to manipulate the moves of his opponent.
This is a great series, I love the way you kinda make a story out of a chess game. Only someone who is passionate about the game can do that. Great job!
Love your videos and especially this one. Your respect for Vishy really shines through. Your explanations of the brilliance of his moves was great to watch. Thank you for making this content!
Great video man. Vishy is a modern-day mix of M Tal + Kasparov (with a happy face). Thanks for the video. Please bring more videos of Vishy, Karpov, Kasparov, Rashid and the legend M Tal.
Hey! From India :D great video, enjoyed it thoroughly! Just a small note, highest civilian honour or award in India is the Bharat Ratna (which translates to "India's gem"), second highest is Padma Vibhushan which you mentioned. I think you wanted to say that Vishwanathan Anand was the first sports person to get this award in 2007, he's not the only sports person though, Sachin Tendulkar and Edmund Hillary followed him in the 2008, and MC Mary Kom in 2020. Cheers :D Sorry if you thought I was nitpicky, just didn't want misinformation to spread unintentionally. Please feel free to correct me if I've stated anything wrong. Have a nice day! :)
I was thinking, since you're doing "best game of " pieces, what about some analysis of what makes top players different to each other? : like fav openings , weaknesses , sac they play more often than not... i heard somewhere that vishy is very comfortable with knights instead of bishops for example... the kind of things that top players need to remember when playing each other .
for example: if you're going against wesley so and you go for this opening chances are that.... / or dont try this against hikaru because he wins 80% of the time with this opening.
left my jaw DROPPED at H6, I analyzed the board so much and decided there was no way a pawn move could solve anything here Levy knows what I'm thinking masterful
crazy man this is actually very instructive, in so many low level games i play your queen is almost as important as your king, it seems like he leveraged that idea because i bet he was not prepared for that bishop move. He just had too many threats.
From being a Child Prodigy to becoming a World Chess Champion, Viswanathan Anand has been a household or a schoolhold name that we all know. Watch Full Episode on The Genius Grandmaster only at th-cam.com/video/ven_HLcIQS8/w-d-xo.html

Shout out to the fans from 🇮🇳 ❤️ What’s your favorite Vishy game?
His game against Aronian that agadmator covered.
Vishy played a game in 2011 where he introduced a novelty..
1989 Vishy vs Tal was a nice game too
All his games are must watch

Exactly!! One bad move and he's gone! But he didn't make any! That's Vishy.
When Vishy plays like this he is every bit as entertaining as Tal in his prime. My head spins trying to sort through how he could possibly see the combinations of moves he seems to always find. Great video and analysis!
Agreed! Infact Vishy has said that his fav player is the magician from Riga
Me: Sees Vishy Anand on Thumbnail.
