Viswanathan Anand vs. Garry Kasparov (1-0) Blitz - Geneva 1996

[Fand421]

Incredible game!

[kasunagi123]

Kasparov clearly make a blunder on 5:55. Instead of moving away his queen from being attack by the rook on e1.. he doing castling on the king side to protect his rook at c8.. that was totally overlook by him.. well its a blitz game,, anything can happen on blitz game. You all can check a video of 'kasparovs wrong move' where you can see Kasparov reaction after his queen being take away by Anand

@kasunagi123 Castling was actually the right move there. I believe the blunder may have been him missing the Qxg4 move although he picked up the bishop as well here. Not only that, but material is equal after the queen for rook and he also has the strong pawn centre which you see him try to use later on.

The only other real option he had aside from castling was Qe1+ again losing the queen to the rook. The reason for this is the rook on c8 and bishop on g7 were threatened by the queen on g4.

insane music !

[MrInalbert]

the music is genius, who is the artist?

[quietriotish]

so... who won?

[majorsromo]

weird kasparov gave up his queen for seemingly no compensation

[vaidyt]

@1:58 why not Qxg5?

[Josufinwe]

@vaidyt

Bh6 and the queen only can go to h4 or g3 losing so much power.

I dont speak english very well.... I hope you understand me

[pravinchandar]

@vaidyt RG8 or BH6 from black would have got white in trouble I guess.

[JSVKK]

silly game...if kasparove play like this,i cud easily beat him.

[TheEhodge]

What happens if Kasparov plays Rg6 at the point that he resigns?

[aajoshi1]

@TheEhodge fxg6

[tayrone2001]

@TheEhodge u take it with the pawn B*tch ;)

[jalbertlitwin]

@TheEhodge Pxg6

[pAbedaNSK]

against the anti english simply retreat the bishop to c1, then play f3 forcing the knight back and return the bishop back to e3, the whole anti-english is a joke

[IHATENEDAH]

but seriously this game looks like a shame for 2 world champions its so unspectacular and simple kasparov should get a creativity prize for losing such a dull game maybe he lost of boredom, i know kasparov played some spectacular chess too but this game isnt even worthy of a fm i would give my gm title away if i were one and would play such a game

[neelaakaasham]

[MasterChessGames]

Thanks for the comment, shade362. Sorry about the music, feel free to turn the music off!

[MasterChessGames]

Kasparov. When naming a game, first player plays white and second plays black.
