Anand I really look up to you, bro. U r the best world champion of all time and u do that in a humble way. That's wassup. People don't know how humility is powerful.
@Berialavrenti I wouldn't get to down.It's possible he had the score sheet on the table in front of him, as well as him studying the game as most grandmasters do...don't be discouraged.
he must be a mathematical genius. if you're a genius then you will be able to learn chess much better and excell in it, but if ur not a genius and you learn how to play chess very well, you will not become a genius, in other words chess will not increase anybody's iq very much at all, and just because you can play chess well doesn't mean that you have a high iq, and having a high iq doesnt mean that you're smart, because smartness is not easily measured by an iq test, the tests mesure skill
@Zee96969696 No but what chess will do if your an average person, what most of us are, is how to be strategic about life. That, my friend, is very important. It will teach you to control your emotions, it will teach you when to go for it and when to see that this option is going nowhere. If you start playing chess you will see things differently, you will see thing in a better angle. So you could say that yes chess makes a person smarter.
@xBorg6of9x I;m sorry but all tha stuf you said, not true. If you play chess, your skill in chess will improve but it will not effect your life much at all
@Zee96969696 No need to be sorry because all we have here is an opinion against another opinion, there is no right or wrong.. So this clearly will stay there, we disagree and that's fine with me.
@xBorg6of9x there is a truth out there, even if we don't know, the truth is still out there so somebody is probably right, and I think I'm right, chess won't make you very smart, but if you are smart, chess will be easier for you. but what is smartness? very good question to which no one today has an answer. Is smartness a skill? or is it something else? I beleive that smartness is kinda like an ability to see things more clearly and to understand things better and deeper, creativity also
So many things that come into play when you are talking about intelligence. Interpersonal intelligence which is understanding others and communicating. Intrapersonal intelligence which is understanding yourself, emotions, philosophy etc. GMs are analytical/mathematical but I guarantee you none of them could write Shakespeare. I mean look at Bobby Fischer. Not saying all GMs are crazy, but your mind always compensates. We cant all be good at everything.
My memory, visualization and total thought in general has increased since I started playing chess. On the downside this game can frustrate me to no end.
Really? Is that why my IQ has increased? Or did I just imagine my test scores rise. Let's see it could have been either 3 things: My girlfriend, Call of duty or chess. Now which one genius do you think contributed
@Berialavrenti They remember every game because for example the first 10-15 moves, by both sides, are in the opening book, so they have played it maybe 124009 times. Then next 10 moves pieces often shuffle around a specific goal so it sets the theme. Lastly the endgame is pretty easy to remember because dramatic things happen like queen-exchanges or crucial pawn-sacks.
@sleepyeyeguy So true of many things, if only people would apply themselves in earnest they might discover they have amazing abilities as well. But alas we americans waste our time with American Idol and Dancing with the stars...
Anand is so classy. at about 6:30 some weaker player from the crowd is saying how white is winning because of the standard material value of the pieces, obviously not understanding the strength of the linked b and c pawns.
I'm 18, I've been playing club chess for just over a year and a half and I have an ECF rating of around 120.
People seem to show such amazement for Anand in remembering the game. With my tournament games I can remember the first 15-20 ply with relative ease purely because I've been sitting at the board for over an hour looking at the position.
This is nothing difficult for someone of Anand's skill to remember the whole game.
@Berialavrenti lol must say although its a curse word, yet it is a compliment for Anand :). Well he is the GM and the world champion after all my friend :)
@Berialavrenti: That's too funny. Any GM will be able to reconstruct the entire game from memory and will be able to go back to any position during the game and show different variations forward from that position. Actually, any GM will be able to crush a non-GM w/o ever looking at the board (blind-folded). That's part of the mandatory skill set of a GM. Trust me, I played in a blind-folded simul w/ FIVE other players, also facing the GM and we all got trounced.
@LatinLoverBenja - It's not commercial music. It's a theme introduced by Macauley for Anand during the World Championship match with Kramnik in Bonn, 2008, which has reoccurred in several subsequent videos featuring the World Champion.

Well said @RsJingles. lol Looks like "SPIDERMAN" is some technology freak who has a bitterness towards chess. He's so clueless he doesn't understand that these people have a real passion and DRIVE for playing chess and (gasp) really LIKE doing it! lol What an idiot. He can't even relate to that bcause HE doesn't like it that much. Maybe he'll let us IN on what the "key to life" is. As if there is ONE thing. What a simpleton. He's got a lot to learn. Lol
@ridewave444 Whatever, you inbred redneck! And I don't have a bitterness, I am giving a logical comment about excessive studying that some chess players undertake, and it isn't just the ones that are any good but the ones who really haven't got the talent for the game. You sound like the later!
And I'd rather be a simpleton than an inbred redneck any day of the week - luckily am neither a simpleton or a redneck!!! But you are both!!!
come on guys.... doesnt happen to you to remember the game after you finish?i dont remember all of my games but right after one game i think that i can remember it pretty well.... THX for this video btw!
these chess grand masters are nothing short of amazing, not taking away from them but they do take notes during games which probably helps them remember the games so precisely, and besides they have to remember so they can review and analyze them for future reference, to see where they made mistakes, their opponent's weaknesses, to find novelties, and to blow the minds of the nubs in the press conferences when they recreate the whole game.. musicians remember a lot of songs note for note too
These guys are not world champions by accident. They do have qualities that will seem jaw-dropping for mere mortals like us. I cannot imagine remembering the sequence of events in such excruciating detail in my chosen field. I guess that's why nobody has heard of me :-)
@jshanker2005 Like what? In the end they are slaves to pushing wood, when more important things are happening in the world some douche is studying chess 12 hours a day thinking it is the key to life - it just isn't.
Which is why it is a dying game. That, and the fact that computers will become unbearable to grandmaster in the next five years! Especially once quantum computing comes to fashion.
@SPIDERMAN253LBS It's a dying game? Lol, its a game not many people play because they don't have the intellect or patience to play and achieve any level worth speaking about. Someone works a 9-5, they are slaves to their job, you, you are a slave to your job so to speak, if you think that these people are slaves to theirs, they choose this because it's what they love, you are a slave to your job because you do not love it, and you my friend are the one wasting life.
@RsJingles Actually I've seen many people who play chess all their life but are no good. Also, your comment makes a number of assumptions that I won't get into but allow you to ponder over. And there are people in the world who are a lot more intellectual and patient than Anand and don't play chess precisely for the purpose I mentioned before.
@Berialavrenti once you get to know the feats of these guys.. your balls shrink. Like, these top-GMs remember thousands of games, openings, principles and shit we don't even understand.
@mrunalize Why yes! He's the present world champion as a matter of fact! He's presently in Sofia, Bulgaria defending his title against Veselin Topalov.
Anand is presently in Bulgaria and will be defending his crown on Saturday against Topalov... He defended once in 2008 against the russian Kramnik. In an interview he claimed to have memorized about 90% of Kramnik's games. Kramnik has played around 2000 games!..
Yes, very strange that that fellow was insisting that rook + bishop vs. rook is a win even though Anand had connected passed pawns in that variation and would have drawn easily...people should probably not comment during GM analysis unless they actually have an important variation to ask about...
I was saying the same thing when my teacher was showing me his games. "You remember the whole game?"
Well its not so difficult :)
If you play and you have certain reasons why you play each move (that means you understand why your opponent makes a certain move). Its not so difficult to remember a game of 40 or 60 moves.
If you just try to remember the notation its more difficult than remembering the oppeing played and the reasoning of each move.
@mwGmeiner My friend once played against Leko Peter when Leko was 12 years old.My friend played 1.h4 and of course Leko beated him.last year they met again in a simul.Leko went to my friend, shaked his hand and asked:H4 again? :D
@mwGmeiner These guys have great memories because they don't sit around smoking weed all day like most of the trolls on youtube lol but nonetheless still quite impressive.
@QuantumStates and what kind of people would that be lol? ok. Maybe weed doesn't have to do with anything in a chess video. And weed might not be a sure promise of ruin, but surely you don't think it can actually improve anything about a person, do you? People who succeed and smoke weed, they do it in spite of weed, not thx to it. probably not even Bob Marley, all that musical talent was within him, not inside weed. Anyway, that guy just meant good chess players probably dont do drugs, lol.
In a chess tournament, it is a very intensive battle between u and ur opponent and requires you to focus more than normal games on every moves.Therefore it is natural for you to be able to set up the game positions that u played . All in all chess really helps our memory to improve :)
Very true, I'm not that great of a player, but during a tournament I was easily able to replay an game for a friend from memory, I had just been so focused on it while playing. And besides, in chess you move according to ideas and threats, which then later remind you of what you had thought and played.

Grandmasters can replay most of the games they play if you ask them even years after they play it.

these guys remember every game. I played a game against a GM in a simul in which we drew. I met him years later and he still remembered it.

@mwGmeiner These guys have great memories because they don't sit around smoking weed all day like most of the trolls on youtube lol but nonetheless still quite impressive.

@CountForeshadow What does weed have to do with anything? You'd be surprised by the type of people who smoke weed.

@QuantumStates and what kind of people would that be lol? ok. Maybe weed doesn't have to do with anything in a chess video. And weed might not be a sure promise of ruin, but surely you don't think it can actually improve anything about a person, do you? People who succeed and smoke weed, they do it in spite of weed, not thx to it. probably not even Bob Marley, all that musical talent was within him, not inside weed. Anyway, that guy just meant good chess players probably dont do drugs, lol.

@securuslol They probably don't do illegal drugs, but I bet they take over the counter stuff.

In a chess tournament, it is a very intensive battle between u and ur opponent and requires you to focus more than normal games on every moves.Therefore it is natural for you to be able to set up the game positions that u played . All in all chess really helps our memory to improve :)

Very true, I'm not that great of a player, but during a tournament I was easily able to replay an game for a friend from memory, I had just been so focused on it while playing. And besides, in chess you move according to ideas and threats, which then later remind you of what you had thought and played.
