Killegar Chess presents: Garry Kasparov Vs. Vladimir Kramnik, 1994 - Part 2

[quietriotish]

knight takes f4 was a blunder ,, why not rook g8?

[jamil774]

Azerbaijani chess school is one of the best in the world.Kasparov,who was born in Baku,Azerbaijan is a great example for that

[djuri1985]

The most amazing thing about Kramnik is that he try's to be ruthlessly precise and objective and that he's unpersuadable and psychologically very stable - he can take a lot of pressure - but in combinations like these it's beyond one's comprehension so you simply have to take the bate - which proves the power of the initiative. It's interesting how he gave Kasparov so much play on the king side in the middle game, which can't be a lack of skill, rather a lack of motivation to crush the opponent

[MoPar7055]

Where are you from? I am curious about your accent

[KevinByrne2]

@MoPar7055 -- Sean Godley is Irish. There's a Wikipedia article about him.

[thisisgame]

hi, can you make a video on the game when Kramnik beat Kasparov?

[FockerTheLopper]

wow I can't believe kramnik played that last move!! I've watched videos of this game maybe 3 4 times before this but I never realized just how bad his last move was... Amazing game by Kasparov as always, thanks a lot sean for putting up these videos... you have a great commentating voice

[Desthechef]

I am from Novgorod and was seeing that tournament when I was 14 :) Kasparov was unstoppable.

[Penguincw2]

[concept015]

thanks for your videos... as said.. nice voice, nice coments.

[swingdocta]

kramnik must have been ruined to make such a terrible blunder

[iwaslolita]

a brilliant game! thx for uploading

[0nhj]

kasparov's mind is very far

[Ariel1Dominguez]

i love your analisis, great video..thump up!

eeh...Kasparov is an artist.

[Ariel1Dominguez]

@Ariel1Dominguez: analysis*

my english is really bad.

[SardorVS]

thanx for the video, great analysis.

[Philippchaykin]

Thanks for the 2part video, enjoyed it very much

[daydr33m3r]

Kasparov is THE immortal of chess period. But Kramnik put up one hell of a fight

[JiMzeh17]

Nice video and commentary, the only thing missing is the analysis of what black would do had he not blundered his queen on the last move... is it at all possible to salvage a draw?

[SeanGGodley]

I think a draw is pretty much impossible. Ignoring the immediate piece pressure that white has on the black king, there is no quick and easy way to stop the g pawn from zoooming up the board and queening. It's only a matter of time; I think Kramnik could have reasonably resigned instead of blundering!

[JiMzeh17]

Cheers, good analysis.

[ALCostello]

Great video.

After hxg6, my instinct would be to play Nxg6 hoping for Rxb6 to follow with Bc8.

[etreenfleur]

what an incredibly mind power to figure out such a combination, this is fucking art

[schiki]

thx alot,i would be very glad if you would comment more games of kasparov,you are realy good explainer, thx again!

[JasonOpole]

that is really great , thanks SeanGGodley

[ManosKoukoutos]

Great job! I'm a beginner at chess and I couldn't understand all the moves without commentation. Now I can see what an incredible game Kasparov played. Thanks a lot! I have a question though: what do you think was Kramnik's best move before his last blunder?

[SeanGGodley]

Hi, thanks and glad you are enjoying the vids! Hmmm Kramnik's best move - hard to say really, he defended well in general until the end. I think his Qd5 move in the opening was probably the best of the game as it gave black some good initiative so early in the game, and apprently either won a pawn or stopped white from castling. Only someone like Kasparov could get away with castling anyway! I recommend the Bobby Fischer games I did if you want to see some great moves =0) All the best,

Sean

[croopaN]

Very nice game very nice commentation and you have good voice to commentate ;]

[SeanGGodley]

Hi - thanks! =0)

[DBSwofford]

Cool. Thanks! I love chess but I really suck at it, so your explanations are really helpful. :)

[grumbie7]

Why underpromote to a rook? Isn't a queen better?

[SeanGGodley]

Yes, the queen is better, but it makes no difference really - the point is that black must capture the rook/queen with his own queen or it will be mate, and white is left with a winning position. All the best,

Sean

[franks155]

Thats just tight. Chess videos on youtube. I'm not even being sarcastic. I couldn't stop watching and I don't know why cause I'm not that interested in chess. Sounds like a successful video to me. Keep doing what your doing man I enjoyed it.

[SeanGGodley]

Ha! Cool man. Glad you enjoyed it. More coming soon!

[LeitrimLady]

Another great game Sean. Thanks.

[chesstino]

wow sean, excellent stuff.. i like these 2 part vids! mainly cuz i dont ever want your commentary and analysis to end! you the man! thanks

[SeanGGodley]

Ha! Thanks very much man. Yes, there was so much to talk about in these games that 11 minutes wasn't enough so I figued I'd do them in doubles. Glad you're enjoying them!

All the best,

Sean

[tedforever3]

Yeah..excelent game and excelent comments.

[lutzzze]

Absolutley amazing game. And great commentary as always.

[ImposingSumo]

Good god. That's like some kind of crazy future robot chess. I feel dizzy :-/

[roaddog481]

I am a big fan of both of these players. I checked their game history on the chessgames website and found:

Out of 122 games there were 79 draws.

Kasparov won 22 games - 15 with white, 7 with black.

Kramnik won 21 games. 13 with white, 8 with black.

Quite a classic match up of tremendous talent.

[johnskiiez]

whoa, orgasmic (Y)

[ChrisRoberts28]

Psychologically ruined?! No shit! Damn this was one brutal attack. Thanks Sean!

[teneight78]

GK broke him down!

[roaddog481]

Incredible game. Excellent commentary. As far as the game ending blunder, IMO, you could only imagine the immense pressure of the moment esp after the last 6 or 8 moves. Up until the queen sac, Kramnik probably thought at best he may win, at worst a draw. Then came hxg6! Makes me feel a little sick just watching it, mutch less being on the receiving end of the ensuing onslaught that followed. Both are great players and I believe their overall match record is about equal?

[buffguy86]

wow what a horrific blunder by kramnik, i love sharp position games like this!

[SrbijaDavidp]

5 stars!

[dan112358]

What a soul crushing last blunder. Even with time trouble that's a fairly bad blunder for Kramnik's level. Poor guy. Great game as usual Sean, cheers.

[KittyGotSued]

wow.. incredible game, and thanks for the great video! I love your videos!

[SeanGGodley]

Ha! Great! Thank you =0) More coming soon!

Sean

[jumpandimout]
