Funny how Garry wants to touch all his pieces before he starts a game. That's his habit.

[thebest852]

@ridewave444 Yeah I notice that a lot of professional chess players like to do that; I guess it's a good luck ritual.

[misterkefir]

@thebest852 they are rearranging them, so they are in perfect spots, sometimes a piece which is placed a little bit on the rim of the square may annoy/distract the player. I know it sounds weird but on this level, its possible ;P

6:40 how is Garry going to checkmate you think? I'm looking at 1... Qxe2 2. Qd8+ Kg7 3. Qd8 Kh6 4. Qh4+ Kg7 5. Qf6+ Kh6 6. Rg1 and there's no avoiding mate other than sacrificing the queen. Atleast thats my best guess.

[Penguincw2]

I'm not sure if he is the best player in the game,but he definely is one of the best.

[widebody123]

@Penguincw2 I am totally sure that GK is the greatest chess player ever. He makes Bobby Fischer look average.

[MalaTemporaCurrunt]

@widebody123

that'a bold statement there

[moviecritic6]

@MalaTemporaCurrunt But also true.

[MalaTemporaCurrunt]

@moviecritic6

fischer "average" ?

[moviecritic6]

@MalaTemporaCurrunt Compared to Kasparov, yes.

[ducksaj]

he always touch on the knight in the begin like a ritual...lol

[geekorthodox9]

Kasparov remains a great diplomat of the game.
