Kasparov - Simultaneous chess game

[SRDTL]

3:15 "he never called me back"

[expomnz]

Chess is a great game, but it does not make exciting video!

[GhOsTst1]

3:15 with himself lol

[cintiwinti]

im sure its a great feeling playing against him especially if he needs to think for a wile after you made your move...

[iMaxMao]

He always glances at the young kids, intimidating them :'')

[CubanGuyNYC]

I've always wondered (and I know I'm not alone), if all the ATG players were born in the same year, say, 1963, who would rise to the top of the heap? My short list of ATGs would be Morphy, Capablanca, Alekhine, Fischer, and Kasparov. (Others may be added, but I don't include Karpov because he's a contemporary.) I think Fischer and Alekhine might very well edge out Kasparov. Capablanca would obviously be a front-runner, were it not for his relatively nonchalant attitude toward chess study.

[BlackSN8K]

hahaha @ 8:02 even his own translator didn't get an autograph!...

[oneadamtwelve86]

looks like he didnt sign any autographs at the end

[ThjeshtLife]

how about kasparov playing age of empires? lol

[etallnight]

3:15

Soon...

[widebody123]

He only ever uses his right hand to move pieces. Not sure if this means anything. Maybe he's scared they'll steal his wristwatch?

[clopium]

@widebody123 The rules of competition chess say that you must press the clock with the same hand you use to move the piece... I expect Kasparov is in the habit of using his right hand?

[widebody123]

at 2.52 he looks back at the previous table. still thinking about it.

[SchulzNIG]

3:16 "I will keelll you"

[PabloDPena]

@SchulzNIG lol

[tomkes3000]

@rowtypo yes he had

[MrRazorblade999]

"The best player of all time" Is that really a fact? Would Kasparov win against Fischer in 1972? I doubt it.

[toiletscrubbr]

@MrRazorblade999 we will never know

[MrRazorblade999]

@toiletscrubbr No, but I would like to read speculations about it.

[widebody123]

@MrRazorblade999 Fischer peak elo rating 2785 july 1972.

Kasparov peak elo rating 2851 july 1999 against a much stronger pack.

It's a shame they never played each other.

[bodwisa]

@widebody123 Er...excuse me, but you're forgetting (or ignoring) the relating INFLATION that has gone on over the decades. THREE decades is a long time in terms of rating inflation.

And how are you so sure the pack was "much stronger" in 1999? Yes, they have the advantage of computers and developed theories, but to assume they were naturally stronger than the best in 1972 is a big (and silly) assumption.

[widebody123]

@bodwisa I didn't assume they were naturally stronger. I stated that they were stronger due to their profound understanding of the game which never existed in Robert Fischer's prime.

[chesskw]

3:15 Don't look into his eyes, he'll steal your soul!

[voslyn]

Anyone notice that he's the terminator at 1:14

[widebody123]

I am a GM chess player. I want to give great respect to GK . He is truly the best chess player of all time. No other player ever came close to his knowledge and vision.

[guenter200]

kasparov is the last real chessplayer. then came poker players.

[TEDOVSKY]

Im 66 yrs old and was lucky enough to meet and play max euwe in an amsterdam chess club in the 70s. He was a gentleman, very kind, signed autographs, and played all-comers to blitz. And of course WON every game. It was a great honour to meet the man who beat possibly the greatest of them all, alexander alekhine!

[Thepain360]

poor kid, must be heart broken.

[Galimah]

Wow that guy must be good at boardgames. Shit he is playing like 20 ppl at the same time.

[jooodsdssdd]

chess is only game in the world that you can´t cheat or use dopping.

[ben3580]

@jooodsdssdd cheaters using chess computers are often caught out. I bet ritalin or modafinil would be very useful in a tournament where you're playing solidly for hours.

[teaandsympathylove]

His intelligent quotient is...?

[nomainreason]

At the end he refused to give autographs. I don't understand why people request autographs... but why doesn't he give them? It's not like they're gonna sell them on ebay... they're all chess enthusiasts. :\

[sexoja23]

The kid crying, out of the school of chess now, mommy is going to take to opera it chuck norris

[francescosup90]

the odds: Kasparov 101 % - the others: -1%

[widebody123]

Garry Kasparov is truly the greatest ever chess player.

[IAjedrez123]

Is nice see Kasparaov happy

[MyNameIsYan]

The guy at 3:15 is fucking creepy. He's staring at me :(

[dovespin1]

Doesn't anyone recognize the kid?? It's Nigel Short! 

[sassyjay100]

@dovespin1 no way!! I wanted to know that! really was that short? I wonder if he felt like he had messed up a good position or had felt like he had just played awfully makes your heart break a little seeing that.

[dovespin1]

@sassyjay100 it's not him.

[sassyjay100]

@dovespin1 dang lol

[NerfeArolf]

GMs can predict the endgame just by looking at the opening moves and the playing attitude of their opponent.

[xxxIronLeexxx]

That little cry baby brat thought he stood a chance? LMFAO

[Peyoutreaux]

did they have to zoom in on the poor kid? I don't think he necessarily thought he was going to beat him, he probably made a mistake and is beating himself up :/

[javoman13]

Kasparov is cool.I would like to invite him to drink some beers.

[blasterofdesaster123]

lol greek subtitles

[jbcabenschop]

i can think up to 20 moves ahead

[cacpotify]

@jbcabenschop too bad they're all the wrong moves

[widebody123]

he can think up to 10 moves ahead.

[PSneakysound]

2:47 Kasparov is like "Well, I have billion ways to beat you, which one you do you prefer?"

[Shaky6277]

Love this guy PERIOD !!!!!

[soulreaperichig0]

that guy from 3:15 is green with envy

[WantedReward93]

i am so lucky to be greek hahaha

[saulocpp]

@WantedReward93 With that terrible crisis over there, I wouldn't say that...

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

I find all games so damn boring. I would rather accomplish something; write a poem, write a short story, write a nonfiction article, create a Phtorealistic or Hyper-Realistic drawing, write a song, do photography, have a work-out, restore a piece of furniture, in essence, WORK. Nothing better.

[timfosho]

@DoctorLawyerWhatever Oh, you sound like quite the complex individual. Of course you wouldn't be bothered with a trivial game like chess, you have better things to do with your time, for instance, you like to go to pages with a lot of chess fans and then tell them how boring chess is. You sir are the epitome of class.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

@timfosho  I am.

[pedarikarhu]

@DoctorLawyerWhatever Thank you for your view on games. This is the caremeter [_0%_]

[cosg9531]

@pedarikarhu You contradict yourself. 0% interest in a comment, 0% response.

[cagethug]

@DoctorLawyerWhatever I used to find them boring too, but one day a friend asked me to play with him, and then i realized why chess is so great! Saludos...

[j9z2157]

did Gary kasparov had won those games?

[tranceition]

3:16 Psycho face.

[PeterRoeder31]

Unfortunately my elo was too high to play him, lol.

[TriforceHallows]

4:12 - 4:15 Why does that kid have a BEER?!

[uberswampmonsta]

i wish i could get owned by him

[Keep701]

It would be such an honor to play one of the best Chess players ever.

[mrscrewer03]

is he still alive?? I better challenge him.. JOKE!

[ILoadng]

@mrscrewer03 yup! i saw him do this about a month ago

[brains216]

ftw subtitles in greek

[Phantasos23]

25-0 what can I say? Chess Legend!!

[john17972]

They should have gave him a computer chair with wheels on the legs.

[eatshitdiecunt]

a true genius

[zk453]

GREEK TV WTF

[adamstormhunter]

how much money did it take to get into the simel huh?

[widebody123]

Surely the most impressive simul from

GK was beating the Israeli national team, all grandmasters.

[pacmandem]

@widebody123 LOL

[widebody123]

@pacmandem LOL? He actually did beat them all- no draws.

[pacmandem]

@widebody123 I don't disbelieve you - I was LOLing at the embarrasment of the Israli team...

[30inventionman]

guy coming up at 3:19 looks nuts.

[vanguard7736]

kasparov still is the best

[widebody123]

GK simply the greatest chess player of all time.

[CopsUrMasterAndLord]

My friend Trevor actually beat this guy a couple times. But he said it was just lucky.

[theempiremelts]

@CopsUrMasterAndLord Trevor RULES!!

[TheOriginalEntz]

@CopsUrMasterAndLord And I bet Trevor had tea with the queen too eh?

[zage500]

frecking french people, LERN TO SPEAK ENGLISH!

[moviecritic6]

@zage500 Learn to speak french.

[smooch0408]

@zage500 that's dumb

[njmhk]

I wonder what a champion gets paid to do an exhibition like this? To play so many games at once, what concentration and mental toughness.

[damthatriver09]

@njmhk It's not mental concentration. It's pure luck

[DeeDrumma15]

@damthatriver09 In what way is it pure luck? The whole idea of these kinds of tournaments is to test where the human brain struggles: multitasking.

[damthatriver09]

at 3:18 why is that guy staring at him so creepy!!!!!

[DiscoveringReason]

"I don't think I sacrificed anything for chess... oh yeah, except my childhood. No biggie."

[CaMaverick]

awww poor kid, he's probably destroyed many of his peers (and even many adults) and probably had the illusion that he'd beat the World Champion and everything would go perfect.

I think he's grown up to realize what a privilege it had been to play Kasparov and that the road of any great chess player is paved with the inevitable losses.

[antmayfield]

@CaMaverick amen!

[mohab18]

@CaMaverick

5:00 is he about to cry? lol

[ACMetan]

Plain humiliation

[nockuout1]

IDK about the best player of all time.... Good , but the best ? 

[jabrightlefthook]

he is definately the a master of his talent i wish that i may one day be as dedicated to my endeavors and become succesful to this degree with whatever i pursue

[meganfoxsthumb]

this guys a freak

[tjthegreat7]

@buttonlane

haha first of all I answered your question about Gary Kasparov and why he is world champion and you seem to have shut up about that issue...

Second of all if you're so good then how come you seem to think Gary Kasparov is as you would say Chicken S**t when he ummm hold up won a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!! hmmm no answer?

[tjthegreat7]

@buttonIane Oh national master? of which country? Solomon Islands (no disrespect to anyone from that nation but seriously who plays chess from there)

I don't particularly care for titles myself personally because Chess is only a hobby to me however Gary Kasparov if I remember correctly was World Champion because he beat Anatoly Karpov for the World Championship in 1985. Anyone with a decent knowledge of the chess world should know that. Or do you not know that? lol

[moviecritic6]

Was that kid actually sad that he didn't beat Kasparov?!??!

[tjthegreat7]

@buttonIane HAHA and that is why you're a world champion...oh wait you're not newb -

[hektorsatriani]

4:42 pwned!

[refill1234567]

wow that kid looks like hes about to cry

[darkpow10]

@refill1234567 awesome!!

[theRulerofwar1]

to bad he cant come here where i live and play at the chess club

[DictatorRoB]

3:16 I don't think I would feel comfortable with that guy's presence. He looks like he is ready to go berserker any second.

[paperboy438]

being that emotional about losing to garry kasparov will make that kid's play worse lol

[Veringetorix]

che vato culey!!

es mi heroe!!!!

[blackoil911]

Garry kasparov is probably the toughest opponent in all of mankind history

to play the game of chess

[joydivided23]

Weird Al Yankovic at 4:20 LOL

[widebody123]

@joydivided23 No, it's JAWS in disguise. Put on specs and hiding his teeth.

[joydivided23]

Weird Al Yankovic at 4:22 LOL

[XI2ated]

lol kasparov doesnt give autographs :D

at the end the guy with the book looks pissed :D

[sexoja23]

Kid go back to your private institute lol

[zilvergrafix]

Kid won? 4:41

[J4SSektor]

@zilvergrafix

Nope, 25-0

[DictatorRoB]

@zilvergrafix

no.

[skerskies]

2:24 theres a dead queen 

[tc4101]

7:25 sean penn play chess??

[widebody123]

G Kasparov is a legend. I hope he will be president of Russia.

[enochdm]

@widebody123 that is pretty impossible

[truchitaybrujo]

no me gusto la manera de negar un autografo pero nimodo igual estaba cansado sin duda lo admiro mucho

[1337ASM]

@SSgtParmer well since he is russian, and russia is in asia.. i think it's probable

[scannercicret]

How murtch skr take Kasparov for one let's know chess game? Wher is the next chess game meting? Love the Chess Mattsson and in real name Carl Erik Vilhelm Mattsson.

[chasepw133]

whats with the little kid hahah

[JennylXJ9]

Lol this guy is like "haha noobs!"

[skerskies]

@WanaLivelife i think they are not beginners.

[skerskies]

3:15 evil man

[Simenter13]

Kasparov is not only a legend as chess player, he is also the coolest guy ever.

[widebody123]

Understand the word 'exhibition'.

He only played people of rating 2000 or less.

Nobody had any chance of winning;only one game detained him for a slight period of thought.

[theRulerofwar1]

its enteresting that these people could not beat him and they play chess regulary and are good even if he is a grandmaster

[blackoil911]

dam , the little boy should be that upset

garry kasparov belonged in the group of black and white chess legends ''' who ruled chess in the early 1900s

[walterW1234]

@blackoil911

Also a real immortal =p (literally and figuratively by ur estimate)

[blackoil911]

@walterW1234

no way was he a immortal

it was really black and white alekhine and capablanca that everyone tried to be

karpov basically went to the alekhine school

it was becuz of alekhien that russia was extremely good in making super gms

[walterW1234]

@blackoil911 haha, it was a joke. Your sentence could have been interpreted to be that garry kasparov lived 100 years... although I know what you meant...

[steeler294]

3:15 This guy going to kill Kasparov

[TheMrvivaro]

after 7:43 gary does not sign the book...does anyone know why that was so?

[zZKaZuRaZz]

Talk about one man army

He raped everyone of them =.=

[Yojimbo1AK]

fun

[thisguyheisaguy]

only in france would they play this stupid annoying and distracting avant garde music during a chess simul with Garry Kasparov... oy vey

[bojanglesk88]

lol that guy at 3:19 is super creepy

[hagnuj]

no autographs

[ssblord]

Ah, but when playing 25 good players at once, you must be able to rethink and have great memory

[1k1llc47s]

Anyone decent a chess could of won 24 out of 25 of these games, you just play them against each other... You loose to the best guy there, and the best guy there beats the other 24 players. Maybe it won't work with a vast amount of players, but my math teacher won 6 out of his 7 games using this method.

[manonfirex42]

@1k1llc47s no.... 1.e4 2.e5 in one game 1.e4 and then his opponent chooses 2.f5?? then you can't "play them agaisnt each other" plus what kind of world champion would try something like that????????????

[1k1llc47s]

@manonfirex42 you never know ;), but I am for certain my math teacher did that, so it IS possible.

[mavknight211]

@1k1llc47s you can do that if you are playing all of them with white pieces or all black pieces. It can possibly done if you are playing the other with opponent with black, then the other is white. thus mirroring the others move making them think that they are paying chess with you but actually they are playing with each other.

[1k1llc47s]

@mavknight211 I thought you could man ;), I knew for a fact that he did it, but many people in this world are very ignorant aha..

[nlpqwerty]

@1k1llc47s if you play a Simultaneous chess game you cant do that .you just cant make them play against each other because you play only with whites in the whole 25 games .this is a rule .

[wikipedia808]

this isn't fair for him! one against the world!!!!

[234bagsakan]

25 wins 0 loss against 25 grand masters . .,wtf

[OMNIMON06]

3:16 - 3:19 BIG LOL!!! He's a killer or what?! HAHAHA, he is a psychopath.

[MrClosercloser]

@OMNIMON06 lol agree he's killer or some kind of black magician

[Alexon88]

show some chessboards exact positions..

[wombation]

He's GREAT!

[matpalmyt]

wonder why the kid at 5:10 looks so upset that he lost? dude! it's kasparov! :)

[RomeoSOF2]

@matpalmyt Even the damn deep blue machine lost against him xD

[timmyvamsterdam]

@matpalmyt I think he felt like he played bad.

[damthatriver09]

@matpalmyt because kasparov is his father 

[ilikechess1]

@matpalmyt he probably thought he was winning, but everyone knows that a good GM makes you think your gonna win and then makes a spectacular move and it's done.

[drumass666]

@matpalmyt ...because he thought this was his shot at the big time; his chance to take down the champ.

[TheReddwarff100]

Something tells me the little guy will become a chess master

[TheReddwarff100]

I love the way Kasparov doesn,t underestimate the little guy.

[RomeoSOF2]

@TheReddwarff100 He's smart. Imagine the shame if it's a draw or Kasparov even loses =p

[shadowdancerRFW]

@RomeoSOF2 what the hell are you talking about ? the most powerful enemy kasparov can have in simultaneous games is the aggressive player, like me and many others. i bet if there were 25 such players no way kasparov would win all games. i'm having trouble thinking about a single such opponent, and i can play games in my mind, without table.

[RomeoSOF2]

@shadowdancerRFW Wtf, dude? I just told that he won against the ''Deep Blue'' chess computer...

[blackoil911]

the best world champion of all time !!! hands down

[flubbyeick]

i really do suggest explanations for this...
