Thanks a lot- I played a bit of chess for fun as a kid, but haven't played for decades!- somehow have come to explore an old interest on youtube the last couple of days and this has been the most enjoyable and useful video. Excellent explanations of strategy and individual moves; feels like not just a learning experience but something beautiful!
I have recommended this video to several friends as an introduction to strategic themes. Can you designate some other videos that supply such in depth basic commentary to Master Games? You seemed, when you made this one, to be especially intent on explaining basic notions. Awesome work.
Exquisite comment. Pretty exhaustive analysis in the strategical and tactical background of the fight - yet pretty concise and spot on at every move made by the (great) opponents. Congrats and keep the good stuff coming !
11:30 - I thought some about a pin by Kasparov, and after g5 move I will do Ng5. When Karpov would recapture with the pawn, then capture with the bishop and there's a pin and also Karpov's king is very open.
Excellent video!! I like the way you explain the principles fo the opening being used, and also the way you toss in theoretical principles here and there. Very nice work, I hope you upload more!
Philidor said "Pawns are the soul of chess", perhaps today he would say "Pawns are the DNA of chess". Thanks for posting this, always look forward to your vids.
I started watching your videos a few days ago (starting with your oldest ones). I paused the video and figured out the queen 'sacrifice' move and I feel so proud! xD I know it sounds kind of childish but i wanted to share this with you. Great vids, great talks, you're really improving my game by a lot. Keep up!
The reason Karpov did not play 21..Qxb2 according to GM R.Byrne was that Karpov did not want an ending where white had 2 minor pieces vs Rook + pawn. 21..Qxb2 22.Bxc6 Rxd1 23.Bxb7 Rxe1+ 24.Nxe1
Hi Jerry, this video is old but I consider it one of the best. I wonder what the best final match of all time is. Karpov Kasparov; Anand Karlsen; Lasker Capablanca; Botvinik Tal; Fischer Spassky or another one? This would be a cool poll in a broadcast
Hello,Jerry thank U so much your analysis is truly good and helps beginner like me ,I hv improved my queen pawn ,queen gambit game by watching ur videos
Very instructive explanations of the Nimzo-Indian opening theme, pawn structure, IQP, square control, Bg5 pin and h6 theme, tactics, etc. Well done! Thanks.
Another excellent video. Keep up the great work. I got a tricky question for you: who's your more favorite player, Kasparov or Karpov? (I say more favorite because both are obviously favorites, heh)
@Ferrari312pb It might have been caused by time trouble. Depending on the time limit, often blunders occur between moves 25 and 40 when time trouble potentially looms. If you're playing through moves from a database, for instance, it'll often not make you aware of the time factor in a game, hence some moves can be hard to understand. Alternatively, Karpov's sense of danger might have faded in such a balanced position, and he'd anticipated he was coasting towards a comfortable draw.
point is: black has no solution to white pressure with his rook on the bishop, which means he will eventually lose another figure very soon as the commentator suggested, which means black will have queen and bishop or knight against white two rooks and bishop with knight which is by any standard a very big material advantage.. on world championship level that means a certain defeat.
@Ferrari312pb Karpov's sense of danger might have faded in a balanced position such as this, and he'd assumed he was coasting towards a comfortable draw, hence he wasn't quite so alert to a random tactic as he would normally be.
the best analysis/commentary on a chess game ive watched on youtube. thanks ... and a question: why dont you consider whites doubled pawns g2-3 weakness?
Very nice. I would have sacrificed the queen in that position, too ^^ You go very in-depth into the game, explaining every move and saying why some other move shouldn't be played, and this is what makes you my favorite chess...video-maker.
great video! I've subscribed as well. I've one question: could you please help me understand, in practical terms, how d5 square that black's aiming be used to mount attacks or the benefit of controlling it. What makes it so significant?
I read some comments saying that you take too much time explaing, but i think is just right :) a real chess game TAKES TIME. Analizing the game should TAKE MORE TIME, some of the things you said i knew, but still is interesting to remember everything... as we could see black pieces did not remember something really basic, black pieces where just playing by the book... double your rooks is a good idea... but they didn't see what were the real consequences of that move. EXCELLENT JOB JERRY :)
wow, you are a really good commentator, so amazing, doesnt only comment what is happenning, but what would happen, and what would happend next if this was happening. how have you developt such strategy, have you ever been a chess master, or just a good level?
definitely not; it helps a lot of people including me to understand all the possible variations that occur right from the first pawn moves and Jerry sure does a good job of explaining that
I thought so too, but despite the queen coming to d7 and being more active, black can hold the position and there is no real advantage for white.. what was played (no spoilers!) is the more forcing/winning continuation :)
Your recommendation does nothing other than let black have the initiative after the check and black's Rd8 chasing the queen away and taking the bishop on d5 for free unless the queen retreats immediately after Qxd7 Ba8.
Naturally Karpov resigned, considering the strength of his opponent. However, I would like to have been able to see a few moves more to see how Kasparov coordinated his two rooks and minor piece vs. queen advantage. Against a sub-master level opponent, black would surely continue a while in this position to see if his queen can make problems for white's pieces.
Awesome material, still good... even 10 years later :D
Agree 👍
Very thorough commentary, excellent work!

Thanks. I'm currently considered a National Master.

I learnt so much from this. Thank you, ChessNetwork. :)
Hello Jerry from six years ago!
"I hope you got something out of it"
...Jerry, what an understatement! Well done as usual!!
I misread it as 13 days ago lol
Exquisite comment. Pretty exhaustive analysis in the strategical and tactical background of the fight - yet pretty concise and spot on at every move made by the (great) opponents.
Congrats and keep the good stuff coming !
I can't express how helpful your lengthy,patient, and clear analysis has been in improving my chess game!
you provide some of the best chess material on youtube
thx for doing this
Fascinating - and just the right level for me. I like having two minutes analysis per move!
11:30 - I thought some about a pin by Kasparov, and after g5 move I will do Ng5. When Karpov would recapture with the pawn, then capture with the bishop and there's a pin and also Karpov's king is very open.
This is really wonderful material, thanks for the effort.
Excellent video!! I like the way you explain the principles fo the opening being used, and also the way you toss in theoretical principles here and there. Very nice work, I hope you upload more!
Jerry explaining 1.d4 Nf6 in detail is such a joy. I love this video.
A great job, period! Hope I can find more games you go over.
Philidor said "Pawns are the soul of chess", perhaps today he would say "Pawns are the DNA of chess". Thanks for posting this, always look forward to your vids.
very interesting game. nice to see you making so many videos lately =)
as good and instructive as any chess video i've seen...great job.

very good video, jerry! i got a lot out of your commentary - especially concering what you said about pawn structure. very insightful!
nice instructions Jerry i enjoyed and learned some new stuff ^^
i think ill keep up with your videos since i wanna learn about chess ^^
What's your rating sir
Excellent commentary. Thank you for creating.
@rudhrakha Thank you for the feedback rudhrakha. :)
@kevski2000 Great! Thanks the intention. Thanks for the comment. :)
nice and simple illustration!!! keep going
Thanks very much for this video - highly instructive.
Who would've thought Karpov would've made such a blunder !?
thanks as always you do a fine job on your videos!
to learn chess one needs tons of patience & concentration. your explanation & analysis is very nice and engaging. Thanks a lot

I just subscribed. Thank you so much for making these videos. Just out of curiosity, what software do you use to draw out the matches?
Hi Jerry, your videos are excellent. Hope to see many more....
Clear and insightful analysis. Thank you!
I can't believe I actually caught on to the winning move...
Thanks Jerry, these videos are really making me better at the game 😁
Very instructive Jerry - thank you.
@19:28 could you see a tactical advantage for white if Rxe5, and then if Qxe5 then Qd3+ and the black rook is lost as well ?
point is: black has no solution to white pressure with his rook on the bishop, which means he will eventually lose another figure very soon as the commentator suggested, which means black will have queen and bishop or knight against white two rooks and bishop with knight which is by any standard a very big material advantage.. on world championship level that means a certain defeat.

No idle chit-chat, nicely paced...well done!
Very nice.
I would have sacrificed the queen in that position, too ^^

Brilliant video...thanks for the upload
Great video. I'm teaching a class on chess at my local YMCA soon, and I might just use a few examples of high level thinking from this game.
I think you should explain simple moves with a lot more brevity, especially in the opening, for example Rc1 and Bh4. The extra time really adds up.
great video! I've subscribed as well. I've one question: could you please help me understand, in practical terms, how d5 square that black's aiming be used to mount attacks or the benefit of controlling it. What makes it so significant?
superb and informative analysis. thanks so much

EXCELLENT JOB JERRY :)
Karpov was feeling comfortable with his superb opening play and right away commited a blunder :-)
How is it possible to make a World Chess Championship Game looks as simple as tic-tac-toe? Well, you did it. Congratulations!
Thanks Rodrigo. :)
Awesome Vid! Keep it on:)
HI MY NAME IS ORI
THX FOR THE EXPLAINATION -
I HAVE A Q; AFTER BLACK N TO C6 WHY NOT PAWN TO D5
THANKS
Can we have more video's like this? I learn't so much!
Loved The Video!!!
May I ask, do you play in local chess clubs and whatnot? Or have you achieved your experience just by playing online?
awesome video man never would've seen that queen sacrifice thumbs up
Thanks! :)
@ThatOneGuy1027 I have much to learn as well.
Amazing, thanks for the video
what if exd5 after d5? if Qxd5 BxNf6.... thanks for the answer
@jiMinizer49ers Thanks. :)
wow, you are a really good commentator, so amazing, doesnt only comment what is happenning, but what would happen, and what would happend next if this was happening.
how have you developt such strategy, have you ever been a chess master, or just a good level?
definitely not; it helps a lot of people including me to understand all the possible variations that occur right from the first pawn moves and Jerry sure does a good job of explaining that
very good video. i liked the depth
Excellent commentary
How about white's e1 Rook checking on e8? at 20:17.
I thought so too, but despite the queen coming to d7 and being more active, black can hold the position and there is no real advantage for white.. what was played (no spoilers!) is the more forcing/winning continuation :)
Your recommendation does nothing other than let black have the initiative after the check and black's Rd8 chasing the queen away and taking the bishop on d5 for free unless the queen retreats immediately after Qxd7 Ba8.
Great analysis!!!
Who was the greatest chessplayer, Jerry?
The most instructional chess video i ever saw!
Great vid, thanks Jerry :)
Naturally Karpov resigned, considering the strength of his opponent.

Wonderful final move by Kasparov!
Good job!!! Thank you.
@iROFLatYouSOxD perhaps you might lead by example, and annotate a few moves in a deeper style to show what you mean.
After 12 years and I’m here to see that game for a queen sacrifice
excelente analilis master!!! gracias!!!
@Crazeyfor67 If you're subscribed to my channel, you're notified when I upload a new video instead of you having to go find them.
Wow 10 years ago time flys...
Yep.This is the second Kasparov game you're doing.I heard game 16 of the match was the best one.
thanks
*Jerry.. Please Start a online chess coaching website.. We will be pay for you..*
Also, if you could direct me to some games, which may have used such a weakness, to go through, it would be great.
great video :)
Good lesson. Thank you!
Thx very much
18 40 - In my opinion was cos if white take black knight, black respond with bishop takes black bishop and black rook s watching pawn a7
thanks!
i learn something from you!
i like the way u explain things. good alternative to chessvideos-tv...
Keep up your awesome videos! Maybe sound a bit more enthusiastic?
nice video ... thanks
wow! what an ending!
