If Topalov had not taken the Rook, the game could have finished in a draw: Veselin would have had half a point more, I - half a point less. He would have win a little bit, I would have lost a little bit, but chess and chess amateurs would have lost a lot. However, Caissa was kind to me that day.. . I do not know what I was rewarded for, but the development of events became forced after the capture on d4.

Me vs kasparov
Kasparov : sacrifies queen in middle of game.
Me : resign the game.
Lmaoooooooo!!!
Middle? I would resign even he sacrifices at the beginning. What could we think if he would do this? Here comes a massive attack haha. I would just move a pawn and would say: It was a pleasure to play with you Mister Kaspa! Bye!
He did not sacrifice his queen, in this game, He sacrified his 2 rooks, one by one, but not his queen !!
What if he blunders his qieen
@@TwiiistedMind d
"This is the position that Topalov saw but he didn't see the pawn move" - what a noob, not seeing that pawn move that was only 5 years into the future.
Lmao
:))))))
The higher you go among chess ranks the less it becomes a battle of logic and the more it becomes divination
In this position 'Garry Topalov' resigned the game.
Starting to feel the motivation to learn some chess. Love the vids easy to understand and enganging. coming from someone with no chess background at all
What a fool Topalov was, couldn't even predict losing his Queen just 50 moves ahead

@Gea Sih you must be a GM in sarcasm

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)

He seems so nice and humble, and also he is a great commentator
Topalov really didn't give up, that's pretty cool
he had alot more pieces it was very difficult to give up or go for that draw ...
Kasparov is great, but Topalov is also an amazing player. His games are inspiring and entertaining
Coz he got vaseline!

@@Aasn9 you are replying to a 2 month old reply now lol
That game felt more like a 40 move combination to pick up the a8 rook
It’s just mind-boggling how many moves and permutations/combinations Kasparov could see in advance. And not just this (truly immortal) game.
... 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!
No wonder he was the guy warning the world about the dangers of Putin years in advance!!

Damn...
One of Kasparov’s gifts to chess is the idea of sacrificing for position. He’s the master of it.
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. Kasparov is a genius whom i rate highly and is one of my best players of all time, but when it came to sacrifice, go and look up the games of these names i mentioned and u will come back here to change this comment.
Ifeanyi Ilogbaka Honestly, the only games I’ve really looked at of Tal’s are the games against Fischer and a few others....
@@5inthehole go and follow matojelic on TH-cam, and then search for the games of these grandmasters i listed earlier on your comment, watch the games and see mind boggling sacrifices from these grandmasters. I watch their games from time to time and got most of their games saved on my page so i can always re-watch it and learn a thing or two.

@@ifeanyiilogbaka7099 Tal sac is to complicate, Kasparov is to create a positional advantage. Tal sac is more beutiful but less accurate than Kasparov.
I always admire watching games from top level chess players like Tal, Magnus, Nakamura Paul Morphy and other players. Agadmator is the best Chess talk host for introducing any chess game . He starts with a sharp "Hello" followed by aome information proceeding to the start of any chess game.
Svak čast, ovo je najbolja šahovska prezentacija na netu.
I really enjoyed your explanation of this game. I'm a mediocre chess player but absolutely love watching your explanation of classic games. Keep up the good work.
Me : makes the first move
Kasparov : looks at the ceiling
Me : resigns
*you know if you know!*
hehe
I ran this through an engine and Topalov still had the draw for a while. This is the best game of chess ever played.
Stockfish 14 on depth 22 actually cannot properly assess this game. After depths 35-40 it starts to give an enormous edge to white
Huge huge fan ray
Garry is scary. Nice game. A reason why Topolov will not be forgotten.
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!
I watched somewhere that Kasparov said if you can't calculate 45 moves ahead you can't play at the WC level.
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.
*"Queen is not a horse, she's a lady"*
This game just reminds me of Mato commentary haha.
isreal is not our friend мой товарищ

@@amritawasthi7030 same
Commentator: this will work because a gazillion moves later your rook will be in the wrong place

To je zaista najbolja partija najboljeg šahiste svih vremena. Razbio je mnoge strogo preporučene zakone tokova partija. Nikada pre nisam video udvostručene i utrostručene pešake koji su donosili pobede. On je jednostvno GENIJE ŠAHA.
The calculation from the first rook sacrifice to the capture of the rook on h8 is LITERALLY INSANE. 15 moves.
@Adamın Biri Not everything was forced, and still, it's pretty impressive. That visualization, skill, Jesus, can you tell me that without a board in front of you, you could calculate that there was a a hanging rook at the end of the variation on h8?
@@Dan1elAndrade It’s not just that, there are so many lines (especially soon after the rook sac) where if black deviates, white should play insane-looking moves. No wonder Kasparov was thinking for 50 minutes before the sacrifice
They are not just playing a game.
I love the idea of them composing this piece of art together, their minds at war in a magical battlefield we can observe, their weapon strange magical harmonies and tricks.
And we can learn to do the same.
imagine to calculate 17 moves ahead, its just crazy what human mind is capable of. this game is sheer brilliance - thanks to topalovs attitude (:
Excellent game by Kasparov. Thanks for this video. Topalov fought hard though he was in seemingly hopeless position.
wow...this is one of the most exciting tactical games i have seen...!! Beautiful - this is why we fall in love with chess
I am so glad I found your channel! I love watching your videos and your commentary on these games is always top notch! Every 10 minutes I spend watching you is time well spent
What a critical and well-planned game. Respect for Kasparov.
"He is taking the king for a nice walk"
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.
Great analysis. Agadmator is tremendous for helping the 'good player' to improve. Rare quality. Often books and sites concentrate on beginners and specialised openings. Agadmator understands that chess is all about ideas.
agadmator: "Hello everyone"
me: likes video
I really like this way of explaining the games. I saw some of these ideas behind the moves, but slightly differently and obviously didn't see all of them. 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.
My every game against my opponent, becomes his immortal.
If only Kasparov could have predicted this COVID-19 epidemic..
Hollywood predicted it
He did; he just sacrificed a few thousand pieces to get ahead in the end game
Kasparov: knight c7 check
Covid19:king a 7
Kasparov: queen a6 checkmate
Covid19: Fuck!
So what... nobody would have listened or believed it, unfortunately...
No need. 99.95% survival rate. It's not a threat.
In this position 'Garry Topalov' resigned the game.
At 12:23 he says "In this position Garry Kas..." but then corrects himself and says "Vesselin Topalov"

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?!
8:35 "And this is the position Topalov says that he saw when Kasparov sacrificed the rook." 🤯
As usual, great content and great commentary... This is what i do on my work break to relax... Thank you.
I am seriously mind blown that Kasparov was able to see a move that far into a game. I struggle to understand four moves out.
For a beginner this must be mindblowing to see all pieces hanging
Love the channel, my chess game is improving just by listening to your commentary!! Can't thank you enough.
+Jeremy Elijah Thanks Jeremy, appreciate it :)
@@agadmator what's the idea here
Sir, you need to remake this video of a masterpiece game😮😮😮
Topalov: im gonna win this game
Kasparov: hold my rooks
Or "hold your rooks"
Both rivals Kasparov and Karpov had their immortal game against Veselin Topalov
He have suffered a lot!!!!
In a way he has contributed a lot!
He is still a very strong player and dominated for quite a few of decades and was a World Champion after all, so I think he'll be just fine :D
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.
Stockfish 14 says its +1 if Rd1+ so idk whether you can defend garry kasparov down +1 with a king waiting to die.
Readily available engines give Kasparov 0.55-0.6 adv however some higher depth engines give him 0.85-0.95 adv.....and it would be hard to survive that against Kasparov
@@ppmpyae1152 Black can force a queen trade though with Qd4, so black's king is relatively safe in this position. However after Rxf7 black is down 2 pawns with another hanging.
This channel is my new therapy
Geez, this is a game of MASTERS!
Wow, what a match. Very entertaining. Thank you for all the thoughtful commentary!
4:12 I am a simple man. I see queen I take queen.😂
hahahahha
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).
What a style?! You got to love the way Kasparov plays
actually kasparov plays extremely classical chess ,he doesn't attack unless he's certain he's winning, he's an overall good defender
Happy anniversary to this masterpiece!
While many class players are out or not playing chess any more, new world champions like Topolov are playing good chess with Kasparov.
I honestly believe that Kasparov was the best that ever played! All his years at the top is a huge indicator
what great players do is show you the beauty of the game through the possibility of moves....
I can't believe I haven't seen this video yet. This is probably the best game I have ever seen in my short life.
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
My favorite game in this series and my new favorite TH-cam channel.
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.
A beautiful re-watch. Thank you once again.
"Dis is dadly" Thanks for the great vid!
What a game. It's incredible. I think this is one of the most interesting ones on your channel.
This has to be the best game I’ve ever seen!!
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
love the games. and love seeing my name in the videos as well haha
Thanks man, and thank you for contributing! Really appreciate it :)
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!!
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.
Yup,
Qxf6 Rd1+ Kb2 Ra8 Qb6 Qd4+ Qxd4 Rxd4 Rxf7 (+0.6)
Play the opening like a Book, the middle game like a magician and the endgame like a machine. Brilliant
Kasparov looked so far into the future during this game that he saw COVID
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.
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
I saw the h8 rook hanging even before this game was played.

The futuristic calculations / predictions were beyond human!
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.
