This reminds me of the first time I beat my dad in chess. He taught me chess..... He was like.... The best to me... Although later I realized he couldn't play well enough. But... Well.... It was my first major achievement....
Not even. They can envision sequences of checks leading to mate but with minor piece play its so much more unpredictable. They just play really strong fundamental chess. First one to blunder... Loses.
Shaun Kahler that’s the thing. I can think about 3-4 moves ahead which helps me beat most average players but they think 6-7 or maybe. moves ahead which is what differentiates them.
I love it when he says: "Once Topalov realized that he's playing Kasparov and Kasparov has a queen, he went ahead and resigned in this situation." The beautifully threatening meaning behind "and Kasparov has a queen", I love it.
I think this game is an excellent demonstration of the strategy of denying your opponent any opportunity to set the pace. The entire game was Kasparov's, almost every move by Topalov was a response.
Hey I'm looking for tips. I've been playing against one person for a long time and even tho I mostly win against that one person, I still don't know how to play good. I played online against random players and they effortlessly beat me. I mean come on! I may be bad but the way they took my pieces I was speechless. Please give me some tips. What should you do. What shouldn't. Maybe even generalize a bit. I'm not looking to become the best player on the planet. Just good enough to somewhat give other people a tough time.
Wow I learned to play at a young age lost interest and stopped playing , just recently a couple weeks ago my brother died from complications due to diabetes he taught chess to at risk young men in Chicago and Stateville Penitentiary he has helped to turn the life around of many young men by merely teaching them to think, develop and execute. I want this important work to continue so I am diving in to learn to play again. This game was fantastic Kasparov was thinking 5 to 6 moves ahead, this game really shows greatness not only did he master the game of chess but this is an indication of how well he knew his opponent, he knew how he would react and took advantage of his aggressive style of play. I really liked the narration and your slowing down the video to concentrate on key moves.
So brilliant!!! EVERY MOVEEE it took the thorough explanation for me to even begin to comprehend his moves. He was always 100 moves ahead, the sacrifices for the long run, God!! Just brilliant
No doubt that Kasparov is a chess genious, but don't you think that he "got" some help from his oponent? Like the move when the black's dark square bishop took the white's black square bishop? What was the purpose of this. He should have done the castle instead and who knows what the game's outcome would have been.
I met kasparov in 2003 in Rotterdam the Netherlands, i was playing ches by then for more then 45 years, so i played against him. I ended up stalemating myself. I actually was winning and until this day i blame myself. Then my alarm clock went off and i woke up.
18:49 Topalov said that he was thinking about the same best move that Kasparov suggested, but he was so curious about what would come next after he takes on d4 so he decided to continue.
What an excellent video, loved the commentary and explanation of the moves because without that I would have been lost in the depth of some of the strategies. Really enjoyed following the game. Subscribed!
Kasparov made a blunder (as he said himself, that sacrifice gave his opponent a good chance to get a knight for free) but at the same time Topalov made it :) its amazing to see that one move can be so important for the whole game!
My god, it hurts my brain just to think about all these amazing moves. As a novice player I have had some buildup of my pieces, but just looking at the way they develop their pieces into the end-game is just brilliant.
That was a really brilliant exposition. As an advanced novice chess player, I thank you! I feel like I "leveled up" in chess theory examining this one game because of you. Thanks again.
love this game. too competitive over long periods in a small space - i'm a tennis player. but i must say how much you've taught me an old man . thank you!
how did kasporov so confidently sacrifice his rook and make the other rook go from e1 to e7 ? genius move! I would have never done such a move. Genius!
What I'm trying to figure out is at what point was topalov completely screwed? It's definitely before 20:00. This game in amazing, kasparov is an absolute monster.
After the Rook was sacrificed for the pawn, i really was like WHAT!!!! But after some more moves i just clapped my hands and had the desire to bow to Kasparov!!
In my opinion, and we all have one. Kasparov became immortal when he whipped out the Dragon against Anand a long time ago. That sealed it for me with Kasparov.
And as they should; Topalov clearly did not play perfect, otherwise he would have not lost. A good chess player should investigate where his mistakes were; after all post game analysis (possibly assisted by an engine) is far easier than analysis over the board.
It's sorta like a C Class player creating a website and a bunch of videos where he can combine what masters say with engine analysis and his own limited understanding.
Thanks for having this channel. I don't play many chess matches, as there are not many people around me that knows how to play. Only one person from my work that likes to "talk trash". I would say he's a beginner. He hasn't beatin me yet. I usually play against a computer.
+GINSHINKZL s In warfare it is equivalent to sacrifice you best troops so that put your opponent in a bad but not hopeless position in the short term, and you don't kill any of his troops. Nevertheless, after that move, you could predict that your opponent would lose after 5 years.
@jqbtube But in the heat of battle these things are not found. Tal was very successful over the board but his tactics and sacrifices were not always sound. Hindsight (aided by computers these days) is a wonderful thing.
This is fascinating. From someone who played Yahoo chess 10 years ago half drunk, I'd love to learn more about the psychology of this game. Any suggestions ?
Sorin Cezar Crăcană This is an example of a rook being overloaded : it has to watch over d5 to protect the queen and a6 to prevent mate. If Rd6, then Kb2 is a killer (the plan is to sacrifice the queen on b3 to play cxb3, mate). If black pins the queen via Qd4, then the took is overloaded so you play Qxd4. The rook cannot take otherwise it is mate on a6.
+Benjamin Razey cause white moves Kb2 threatening mate with the following move Qb3+ if Black Bishop takes then mate with pawn on c2. There is nothing black can do after that. but if Qxd5 and then if white Kb2 then black Qd4 pins the Queen and prevents mate
Towards the end, Kasparov moves the bishop to row one (around 23:10). This is the kind of thing that makes the greats great. I looked at that and said, “Nope. He’d take my bishop and have a strong check shortly.” He looked at that and said, “What can I do after he does that?” And expanded. He did this throughout the game. Such a strong lesson. Look at the moves and don’t worry about losing a piece of you can get a stronger position. ‘Course, I’d have lost no matter what but it’s the idea .
Remarkable game. Incredible how these world class players can see some of these moves and think so many moves ahead. Though much of the superfluous commentary on this video could have been cut down which would have shortened video to 15 minutes.
I'm no expert but my guess is that the knight on a5 would move to c6 checking the king and attacking the queen. Forcing the bishop at a8 to take the knight then the d5 pawn would take bishop. That exchange would be worse for black since bishops are worth more.
you are right , Rd1 is the best move but after changing queens and Rxf7 its stil a pretty easy win for white cause of 2 different checkmateoptions with rook and bishop which black can defend but after defending he pretty much cant move any of his pieces expect the pawns on the kings side
Had the same idea. But according to computer in this case there'll be checkmate in 6 moves (white wins) no matter how black plays. So Topalov as a great player calculated it and made the move recommended by computer - bishop to B7.
After Rd4, Kasparov would go for Bd7, threaten a checkmate, and force black Rd7, then white would Rd7. If black goes Ra8 to prevent checkmate, white can then f7 and h7 clearing a path for the white pawns.
jqbtube Even Rf7 is not the right option as Black's Rd6 prevents Be6. The winning moves for white after the Q exchange would be : Rb6 Ra8 ; Bc8 Rb1+ ; Kb1 Ka3 ;Ra6+ Ra6 ; Ba6 Kb4. and white is a bishop up. After Bc8 white threatens Ba6 followed by Bb5#.
Kasparov is the greatest chess player of all time. He meet many criteria. He defended his title many times. He won many strong tournaments. He is world number 1 for more than 20 years. Has good records against the top players of his time. Second to Carlsen has the highest elo rating achived in history.
+Akira Toriko I see what you did there. You cleverly led the reader to decide it's probably Magnus who will usurp Kasparov as the greatest player of all time...maybe :)
I had the same thought. My guess is, that the rooks are meant to stay in line so they dont become a target. If one rook is moved, the other could get lost. And between the rook in the corner and the white queen is just one undefended knight. So Rd6 could have caused more problems. But I am not pro either so I may be wrong here.
I found an interesting response to your proposed move (Rd6). After Rd6, White can play Bd7, (weird looking, I know). But here's my point. Bd7 threatens the potential Bxb5 move. (Keep in mind, Black's queen is restricted to the a2-g8 diagonal in order to prevent checkmate). If Black captures the bishop with his knight, his rook on h8 falls to the queen. If Black captures the same bishop with the rook, White takes back with his rook, and then Black would capture with his knight, exposing his rook to the queen. (Again, Black can't use his queen for this capture because of the mating threat).
If Rd6 Kasporov can simply play Kb2 and then there's no way for Black to prevent checkmate. If Qd4 pinning the queen kasporov simply captures forcing Rxd4 and with the defender gone, Rxa6#
+BigBadBandidos At 20:30 what if topalov defended the pawn at a6 using the rook at d8 and not with bishop at a8? this wud not only have defended that pawn but also would have defended the knight at f6.
+Krunal Rajyaguru ok, so if rd6, white plays rxa6 and after black rxa6, kb2 and white will win in a few moves. If Bb7, black can always prevent kb2 with qd4 because it's protected by the rook on d8. Hope this helps :D
I have played chess again, watching this video has helped me improve my personal strategy, I love this game, each game is very unique, and it makes you think a lot
I don’t see why Topolov needed to resign in the last position. I can think of a couple scenarios in which he could’ve promoted his pawn and gotten at least a draw
If you're having a huge attack on the oppenent's king you should NEVER trade pieces, especially the queen should stay on the board. If you're giving your opponent the opportunity to trade Queens you're basically just giving him room to breathe. So notice: While attacking and chasing the king around, do never trade pieces!
I assume you are saying instead of Kxa5, Qc5 should be played ? That loses immediately with Qxf6 if Kxa5 then b4+ winning the queen. Of course on Qxf6, Bc5 is also possible but then Nxc5 with an overwhelming attack for white. Got it ?
+Mohak Mehta f6 is already in play with the black Knight. I think Qx to c5 from Qxd6 would have forced a release of pressure with a queen trade, or have given more options.
it can be blocked with the pawn, with the Queen, with the knight, with the other knight, and an other piece wich i dont know the name in english but in spanish is "alfil"
This game is incredible, outstanding, its actually beyond believe, and chess....this chess game finished as no game has ever finished: misplace one move and there would be diminishment,, misplace one combination and the structure would fall, i'm watching the game thinking these are the very moves of GOD. this game is an absolute beauty

Why white pieces always move first?

Duh! Yeah!
It is insane how far ahead these guys think

Loses.
This is fundamental play, no need to think ahead 10 moves.
It is

Dont sacrifice to beginners it never works out..

I usually just end up sacrificing my King. Sadly that’s when the game ends
I love it when he says:

The beautifully threatening meaning behind "and Kasparov has a queen", I love it.

That’s usually how chess goes for the player who is white lol
😅Great game Garry Fischer like
Fischer like play total domination!!!
That rook sacrifice was genius... It's almost like he could see the future
Hey bro u commented this 5 years ago. I’m just wondering how it’s going for you right now, in 2019?
20.55 check with rook would hv changed the match
Thats how it is in chess if you sacrifice you better know why you do it. Make the opponent think twice.
no, was very wrong, if I will played easily can bit GK

Thanks Brian.
A very informative commentary. Many thanks for your considered, knowledgable and vivid explanation. Please keep up the good work.
a killer game with a lot of ideas and tactics to learn from,definately a grandmasters game.
Chess games in general with analytical search are learning, but with your commentary a logical chess minded study has taken place. Thanks Kevin
Amazing game. Great commentary. Thank for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good video man, I appreciate your efforts to showing us
One of the great losses to humanity is that Kasparov and Fischer did not get to play.
Great commentary, great game! Unbelievable tactics and ending
What I'm trying to figure out is at what point was topalov completely screwed? It's definitely before 20:00. This game in amazing, kasparov is an absolute monster.
I think it's around 0:49 mark, when Kasparov decides to win this game.
Genius game by Kasparov!! Topalov also provided me with some amazing strategies. Overall amazing game to study!
I had to switch to 2x speed, because it would be boring and I'm from Czech Republic! Very well played, commentary very good, I enjoyed it. :)

But after some more moves i just clapped my hands and had the desire to bow to Kasparov!!
@indp. iv I wouldn't call it a religion, but I am still a fan :D
this game shows why Kasparov is great.
Gotta love youtube, every comment is either "Hurr nerds" or people trying to make suggestions on how these 2 grandmasters could improve their game....
ahneemoney069 damn 5 years has passed , u alive man ?
Why doesn't Topalov capture Kasparov's queen with HIS queen BEFORE then capturing the "sacrificed" rook?
Yeah that would've worked too. You see rook to d1 at 20:55 would also result in mate.
In my opinion, and we all have one. Kasparov became immortal when he whipped out the Dragon against Anand a long time ago. That sealed it for me with Kasparov.
I love it when random TH-cam commenters second-guess moves made by some of the greatest players ever.

at 20:21 why did black moved bishop to b7 and not rook to d6?
thankx
Sorin Cezar Crăcană This is an example of a rook being overloaded : it has to watch over d5 to protect the queen and a6 to prevent mate. If Rd6, then Kb2 is a killer (the plan is to sacrifice the queen on b3 to play cxb3, mate). If black pins the queen via Qd4, then the took is overloaded so you play Qxd4. The rook cannot take otherwise it is mate on a6.
Good explanation.
+flewerfun: Why wasn't Kb2 played after Bb7 anyway?
Johnny P because QD4 would be a pin and white doesn't want to exchange queens
I did not learn quite a bit. I freakin' learned a LOT!
It's Kasparovs "Immortal", but you have to have a great opponent to play an immortal game!
one of the fantastic 24 minute of my life tnx for sharing this
This is a great example of looking at the big picture and sacrificing for the end game
Topalov should have traded queens at 21:00 by moving his rook to d1, instead of taking the pawn.
@Wretchskull I am a GM
Holy fuck Bruce Willis from Die Hard is teaching us chess
at 18.5:50, why not capture the rook with the queen?
He explained that like 3 min earlier. It would be checkmate in a few moves
jqbtube Yes well obviously I missed that, and made a silly error. No need to get worked up about it. People like you really need hobbies dude.
chancekard97 Yolo.
at 20:07, why did Topalov not take Pawn at D5 with his bishop? Would have had the same effect as the queen but kept the pressure on the rook at E7?
+Benjamin Razey cause white moves Kb2 threatening mate with the following move Qb3+ if Black Bishop takes then mate with pawn on c2. There is nothing black can do after that. but if Qxd5 and then if white Kb2 then black Qd4 pins the Queen and prevents mate
Or even better, Knight to D5, thus removing the possibility of King to B2 as it would result in the loss of his queen
+Benjamin Razey Nope, that allows Qb3#.
I figured it out. The queen is indeed pinned. I missed the rook move. Thanks for shedding light on this.
Towards the end, Kasparov moves the bishop to row one (around 23:10). This is the kind of thing that makes the greats great.
I looked at that and said, “Nope. He’d take my bishop and have a strong check shortly.”

Look at the moves and don’t worry about losing a piece of you can get a stronger position.

Awesome analysis
Remarkable game. Incredible how these world class players can see some of these moves and think so many moves ahead. Though much of the superfluous commentary on this video could have been cut down which would have shortened video to 15 minutes.
When Kasparov brought his rook to E7 at 18:46, why wasn’t it taken by black queen?
I'm no expert but my guess is that the knight on a5 would move to c6 checking the king and attacking the queen. Forcing the bishop at a8 to take the knight then the d5 pawn would take bishop. That exchange would be worse for black since bishops are worth more.
@@wormhole331 No, that would be a terrible blunder. If Black takes the rook, he gets mated.
at 21:07 why couldnt black just check with his rook on d1 followed by Qd4?
you are right , Rd1 is the best move but after changing queens and Rxf7 its stil a pretty easy win for white cause of 2 different checkmateoptions with rook and bishop which black can defend but after defending he pretty much cant move any of his pieces expect the pawns on the kings side
You should follow with Ra8 after Rd1 check that would win you a tempo , but white is stil about +1
Followed by Qd4? So what if king moves to b2 rather than a2?
At 20:25 couldn't black have just move rook d8 to d6 to protect?
same thinking.
I was thinking at 23:57 he could have used his rook to give a check the move his king and pawn towards a checkmate
If black plays Rd6, then white'll play Rxa6, and after the black rook takes back the move Kb2 guarantees a win for white
Had the same idea. But according to computer in this case there'll be checkmate in 6 moves (white wins) no matter how black plays. So Topalov as a great player calculated it and made the move recommended by computer - bishop to B7.
Kasparov is a genius. He is a man from cosmos. thx for the video.
I got goosebumps watching this from how great the players are.... cool
At 21:03 Would it not be a better move for Topalov Rxd1+ and after the king moves to b2 he can trade off the queens and be up in material?
At 20:59 and 21:03 Topalov could make Rd1! and after Kb2 then Qd4+! and white is forced exchange the queens and black is a rook up
After Rd4, Kasparov would go for Bd7, threaten a checkmate, and force black Rd7, then white would Rd7. If black goes Ra8 to prevent checkmate, white can then f7 and h7 clearing a path for the white pawns.
jqbtube Even Rf7 is not the right option as Black's Rd6 prevents Be6. The winning moves for white after the Q exchange would be : Rb6 Ra8 ; Bc8 Rb1+ ; Kb1 Ka3 ;Ra6+ Ra6 ; Ba6 Kb4. and white is a bishop up. After Bc8 white threatens Ba6 followed by Bb5#.
jqbtube i stand corrected
Kasparov is the greatest chess player of all time. He meet many criteria. He defended his title many times. He won many strong tournaments. He is world number 1 for more than 20 years.

+Akira Toriko I see what you did there. You cleverly led the reader to decide it's probably Magnus who will usurp Kasparov as the greatest player of all time...maybe :)
20:30 I'm not a pro, but wouldn't moving Rd6 be better than moving the bishop?
I had the same thought. My guess is, that the rooks are meant to stay in line so they dont become a target. If one rook is moved, the other could get lost. And between the rook in the corner and the white queen is just one undefended knight. So Rd6 could have caused more problems. But I am not pro either so I may be wrong here.
I found an interesting response to your proposed move (Rd6). After Rd6, White can play Bd7, (weird looking, I know). But here's my point. Bd7 threatens the potential Bxb5 move. (Keep in mind, Black's queen is restricted to the a2-g8 diagonal in order to prevent checkmate). If Black captures the bishop with his knight, his rook on h8 falls to the queen. If Black captures the same bishop with the rook, White takes back with his rook, and then Black would capture with his knight, exposing his rook to the queen. (Again, Black can't use his queen for this capture because of the mating threat).
If Rd6 Kasporov can simply play Kb2 and then there's no way for Black to prevent checkmate. If Qd4 pinning the queen kasporov simply captures forcing Rxd4 and with the defender gone, Rxa6#
*****
Qb3 isn't mate, Topalov's queen is still defending b3 and after the trade Kxa3 and topalov's king has some room to breathe now.
I understood the entire narration and I'm not even sure I'm a 1600, Kasparov is brilliant!
This is a great game .. I just started to really dig deep into chess I love the game and great upload.
ben finegold would kasparovs queen was pretty suspicious for most of the early middle game haha
16:36 is what you came for
after 20:26, what if Black brings it Rook at D6...?
I think then Black would have not lost Knight or Bishop..!
Any reviews on this ??
+Krunal Rajyaguru Kb2 with the threat of playing Qb3 next.
+BigBadBandidos At 20:30 what if topalov defended the pawn at a6 using the rook at d8 and not with bishop at a8? this wud not only have defended that pawn but also would have defended the knight at f6.

I guess it means the same as ma Q. What if he brings rook D6 !
Right.!
I am also looking forward for a convincing answer for that..!!
+Krunal Rajyaguru ok, so if rd6, white plays rxa6 and after black rxa6, kb2 and white will win in a few moves.
If Bb7, black can always prevent kb2 with qd4 because it's protected by the rook on d8.
Hope this helps :D
+Krunal Rajyaguru that's exactly what I was thinking. Paused the video to check out e comments and wasn't disappointed
I have played chess again, watching this video has helped me improve my personal strategy, I love this game, each game is very unique, and it makes you think a lot
I don’t see why Topolov needed to resign in the last position. I can think of a couple scenarios in which he could’ve promoted his pawn and gotten at least a draw
What do chess players write in their notebooks?
The moves they and their opponents are playing for their own analysis later

at 19:07 why not trade queens?
If you're having a huge attack on the oppenent's king you should NEVER trade pieces, especially the queen should stay on the board. If you're giving your opponent the opportunity to trade Queens you're basically just giving him room to breathe. So notice: While attacking and chasing the king around, do never trade pieces!
Around 20-21 minutes in, why doesn't Black move the Rook down from D8 to D7?
The Queen is the best attacking piece! Never trade that away. Hard to win without it!
I assume you are saying instead of Kxa5, Qc5 should be played ? That loses immediately with Qxf6 if Kxa5 then b4+ winning the queen. Of course on Qxf6, Bc5 is also possible but then Nxc5 with an overwhelming attack for white. Got it ?
+Mohak Mehta f6 is already in play with the black Knight. I think Qx to c5 from Qxd6 would have forced a release of pressure with a queen trade, or have given more options.
those knights look like unicorns
Great content and way of explaining.
Please rectify the noise in audio if possible.
Thank you
Thanks, very enjoyable commentary!
oooh... Knight-to... family-fork - *family-fork!!* ... oh; nvrmnd.
"But then once Topalov realised he's playing Kasparov and Kasparov has a Queen..." xD
1:01 checkmate with bishop?
no
+owen wu why would that be checkmate?
it can be blocked with the pawn, with the Queen, with the knight, with the other knight, and an other piece wich i dont know the name in english but in spanish is "alfil"
+Tommy _144
alfil = bishop
+owen wu c6
Thank you master great game greetings from Colombia.
This game is incredible, outstanding, its actually beyond believe, and chess....this chess game finished as no game has ever finished: misplace one move and there would be diminishment,, misplace one combination and the structure would fall, i'm watching the game thinking these are the very moves of GOD. this game is an absolute beauty
