Garry Kasparov: Yes, I had to see the rook was hanging on h8 to play it. The moment I played 24.Rxd4 I visualized the position after 37.Rxd7. Not every single move or variation between, of course, but that final key moment came to me like lightning. (19.5.2021)
Kasparov: **leaves the table to think of lines in his head** Me: **Forgets the position of a piece thinking 2 moves ahead whilst staring at the board**
That is a chaotic system - this one is a discrete and deterministic event space the problem being the size of the space not the nature of the equations (in short: completely different problems mathematically)
... while at the same time overlooking...Kb6, threatening his effectively placed knight on a5 while his rook is hanging on d4. These guys are in a class by themselves. There are fewer than 100 people in the world able to play at this level.
Actually we glorify it to a crazy extent. Of course he couldn't see 50 moves ahead. He actually missed an obvious move, but then Topalov also didn't bother. The game and all these ideas done and dusted right there. One simple miss. So even if you're the most legendary chess player, it is not a good idea to plan so many moves ahead. You're wasting time and risking a lot. Better to keep developing and wait for your opponent to calculate and slip. Punish, and whupp him to his death!
Kasparov: I went forward in time to view alternate moves. To see all possible outcomes of the coming match. Topalov: How many did you see? Kasparov: Fourteen million, six hundred and five. Topalov: How many did I win? Kasparov: None.
Number of moves ahead is no trouble for people who can play the entire game blindfolded. Every move was practically forced, so it could be seen. The hard one to see was pawn to c3, because it's not obvious why it matters.
45 moves is impossible, meaning to calculate all possible positions of the pieces within a 45-moves span. Even supercomputers of the 90s couldn't do that. Most games end in that many moves anyway. What they are capable of is 14-15 moves which is nothing short of miraculous since a mere mortal can't really calculate more than 4-5 moves.
Lol, u must be new to chess if u think Kasparov is the master of sacrifice, I'm sure u have not heard of Mikhail Tal, Rashid nezhmetdinov, Alexander Alekhine, these grandmasters were crazy with sacrifices, and Kasparov was no where close to them when it came to sacrifice.

According to the engine, Topalov can survive at 8:26 by playing (instead of ...Kxa3) ...Rd1+ 2. Kb2 Ra8. So in fact the sequence was not forced after ...cxd4.

The pace and level of explanations is just perfect for amateur like myself - not spending time on the very obvious, but explaining the thinking behind the key moves.
FYI in case you were wondering when OP says "this is the position topalov calculated" that's 9 moves ahead! I just found it amazing that he calculated this line precisely for 9 moves but missed that one crucial reply by Kasparov.
It's fascinating listening to a language I speak fluently and yet not understand one word. This is a beautifully complex "Game". Kudos to the content creator.
Thanks for your explanations and showing the consequences of bad moves instead of just saying it's bad (because it will be shown to be bad in another 6 moves).
I remember watching this live (on the internet) - there were times when I gasped at several moves, one after another - it was like being in the audience for a performance of Tchaikovski's Swan Lake : as though every move was choreographed by both players while I heard the exquisite music that these great players were somehow creating in my mind. There was another Topalov game that did the same for me - on that occasion his opponent was GM Morozevich (Linares) it was a French Defence, that I usually find to be tediously boring yet solid; but OMG ! - that game was all guns blazing, with all caution thrown to the wind ; like I was watching World War III unfolding between the major "wannabe" global super-powers: If you haven't made a video about it already, maybe it should be added to your short-list.
Man, it really goes to show how deep Grandmasters can think out their lines. Pretty insane how that rook in the corner comes into play after everything has been traded off
At 8:25 of video, black rook d1 check would give Topalov chance to force queen exchange, maybe even winning chance. Please correct me if i'm wrong about this one.
At the time GM David Bronstein stayed at my home in Belgium as we were working on our book 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'. To take a break we went to Wijk aan Zee to attend a round. Because of misjudging traffic we arrived late and entered the press room when it was Kasparov to move. GM David Bronstein glanced at the TV-screen showing the actual position in the game. After 10 seconds David said: 'What is he thinking about? If he doesn't play Rxd4 he should give back his title of World Champion! There is nothing to think about. He should seize this opportunity and worry about the correctness of this move later!' Indeed after a long, long think he did sacrifice his Rook! What does this say about GM David Bronstein's intuition?!
Game 16 1985 World Champioship for me is Gariks immortal game doing “a Karpov” on Karpov totally constricting the world champion. His dubious 8th move sacrifice really paid off and I particularly remember the striking move Qf6!!
I love Chess. I'm horrible but it's such a beautiful game. I have so much respect for the people and games you've featured. Even in defeat these guys/gals are amazing.
@@matthewviramontes3131 In chess it's a gamble you take based on probability. Many of Tal's sacrifices were unsound and would have been exposed by modern engines, but he was not playing an engine. By the way, Kasparov's idea demonstrably did not fail.
It is really strange that I saw an almost similar position between Anand and Kasparov (most probably played earlier) with color reversed a long time ago. Anand also played Rxd4 as white and Kasparov lost the game too. Vishy explained his computer found Rxd4 in his home preparation. Karpov was also playing in that tournament and shook his head after seeing the Rxd4! move.
Maybe I’m dumb here But at 8:20 after the Knight is captured, why can’t black play rd1+, and after kb2 play qd4+, exchange queens and thus be out of harm and up an exchange? Someone explain please because I just don’t understand
The a6 pawn will still be a weakness with high risk of checkmate and with black protecting it with a piece throughout the rest of the game. May be as mentioned in the video Topalov might have not noticed the c pawn 's move in the game while calculating and proceeded to continue with the moves thinking the king would escape safely
Pankaj Kumar Either way, it’s feel like it’s better than the alternative. White will play kb2, and then after rd6 Black has ideas like lifting the other room to e3 and grabbing the a pawn, or playing rc6 and doubling up on the c file where he attacks c2 and can also maybe try to threaten to exchange rooks. It’s probably hard to play, but idk it seems better than the alternative
Yes, it appears missing Rd1+ was a blunder. Stockfish says it was blacks last chance to save the game. After Kb2, white is still better, but only by +1 or so. However Qd4+ would also be a mistake, because the bishop can get to e6 and threaten mate on b3, it forces black to give back the exchange on e6. The line is 33. Qxd4 Rxd4 34. Rxf7 Rd6 35. Re7 Ra8 36. Be6 Rxe6 37. Rxe6. White is now up two pawns and with a more active King, and at this level, that is pretty much game over. There is a really good commentary of the 31... Rd1+ and the entire game including all the psychological factors, by Kasparov himself, here: www.chess.com/news/view/kasparovs-immortal-annotated-by-g-kasparov-8263
rd1+ was the missed move. However, playing Qd4+ results in even material and White in a better position. Qxd4 rxd4 will be played and White can simply follow up with rxf7 and black has to defend the incoming Be6 and he can't really play Re8 Because White can play Rh7 so he has to defend with Re1. If Black decides to play Re1 however White will then play Ra7 and from there mate is inevitable. There are other lines to consider such as Rd1+ Kb2 and Ra8.

Did Kasparov really predict capturing that h8 rook so many moves before?
Caissa was kind to him that day, that is enough to say :)
What do you mean "many moves before"? Kasparov predicted that he would capture Topalov's h8 rook several years before the game even began!

Number of moves ahead is no trouble for people who can play the entire game blindfolded. Every move was practically forced, so it could be seen. The hard one to see was pawn to c3, because it's not obvious why it matters.

Game 16 1985 World Champioship for me is Gariks immortal game doing “a Karpov” on Karpov totally constricting the world champion. His dubious 8th move sacrifice really paid off and I particularly remember the striking move Qf6!!
This has to be the best game I’ve ever seen!!
well i thought i can not play like that but after watching this, i trust i can conclude the game as well , thanks for sharing :)
Interesting game?
It's the most mind blowing game I've seen
A beautiful re-watch. Thank you once again.
I love Chess. I'm horrible but it's such a beautiful game. I have so much respect for the people and games you've featured. Even in defeat these guys/gals are amazing.
The most amazing walk by the black king, and resigning while it is on e1 is poetic. I thought such games happened only in the 19th century
I was 6,500th follower on lichess
I honestly believe that Kasparov was the best that ever played! All his years at the top is a huge indicator
what happens on move 31 if rd1+ and trade queens? I've seen so many videos but none talks about that line..
yeahh
I too would like to know that. That's the first thing I thought of when the video got to that point.
Thank you for casting that beautiful game!
I was going to like the video untill you called me a "ho" 13:41
Oh not ho. This channel is great!
hahahhahhahaha
hahahaha no way XD
I'm dead hahahahhahhahahhahahahahahahahahha
This channel is my new therapy
Great game, I played lot of chess as a child, very interesting game.
Muito bom mesmo esse vídeo, parabéns!
Abraços e saudações nordestinas do Brasil 🙏🏻🤗🌹
When garry kasparov offers a rook for free, you should predict that an idea is behind it.
But it was a failed idea. 1. Rxd4 Kb6! ruins Kasparov's whole plan.
@@matthewviramontes3131 In chess it's a gamble you take based on probability. Many of Tal's sacrifices were unsound and would have been exposed by modern engines, but he was not playing an engine. By the way, Kasparov's idea demonstrably did not fail.
You only need infinite time to not lose as chess
One of Kasparov most beautiful powerful games................. awesome.
It is really strange that I saw an almost similar position between Anand and Kasparov (most probably played earlier) with color reversed a long time ago. Anand also played Rxd4 as white and Kasparov lost the game too. Vishy explained his computer found Rxd4 in his home preparation. Karpov was also playing in that tournament and shook his head after seeing the Rxd4! move.
Happy anniversary to this masterpiece!
Maybe I’m dumb here
But at 8:20 after the Knight is captured, why can’t black play rd1+, and after kb2 play qd4+, exchange queens and thus be out of harm and up an exchange?
Someone explain please because I just don’t understand
The a6 pawn will still be a weakness with high risk of checkmate and with black protecting it with a piece throughout the rest of the game. May be as mentioned in the video Topalov might have not noticed the c pawn 's move in the game while calculating and proceeded to continue with the moves thinking the king would escape safely
Pankaj Kumar Either way, it’s feel like it’s better than the alternative. White will play kb2, and then after rd6 Black has ideas like lifting the other room to e3 and grabbing the a pawn, or playing rc6 and doubling up on the c file where he attacks c2 and can also maybe try to threaten to exchange rooks. It’s probably hard to play, but idk it seems better than the alternative
Yes, it appears missing Rd1+ was a blunder. Stockfish says it was blacks last chance to save the game. After Kb2, white is still better, but only by +1 or so. However Qd4+ would also be a mistake, because the bishop can get to e6 and threaten mate on b3, it forces black to give back the exchange on e6. The line is 33. Qxd4 Rxd4 34. Rxf7 Rd6 35. Re7 Ra8 36. Be6 Rxe6 37. Rxe6. White is now up two pawns and with a more active King, and at this level, that is pretty much game over.
There is a really good commentary of the 31... Rd1+ and the entire game including all the psychological factors, by Kasparov himself, here: www.chess.com/news/view/kasparovs-immortal-annotated-by-g-kasparov-8263
rd1+ was the missed move. However, playing Qd4+ results in even material and White in a better position. Qxd4 rxd4 will be played and White can simply follow up with rxf7 and black has to defend the incoming Be6 and he can't really play Re8 Because White can play Rh7 so he has to defend with Re1.
If Black decides to play Re1 however White will then play Ra7 and from there mate is inevitable. There are other lines to consider such as Rd1+ Kb2 and Ra8.
Discovered your channel in lockdown. Very entertaining and informative.
If I am to be resurrected to be a chess piece, I'll make damn sure that I won't end up being one of Kasparov's pieces.
now that you talk about this, im sure i was once a Tal's piece
Play the opening like a Book, the middle game like a magician and the endgame like a machine. Brilliant
I never know Agad's dog is the next "Tal" grandmaster as he displays his dog image
I always watch old chess games cause it's such a treat and clearly the success of your channel and quality of your videos is very noticeable in your old videos man 👍
