Garry Kasparov vs Magnus Carlsen 1-0 (Reykjavik Rapid 2004)

[Cliroxs]

how many times have they played against each other? !?? :O

[MrLookfar]

Carlsen didn't lose this game, it was a draw.

[carkovich]

@MrLookfar LOOOL?

[WallSpace]

no offence, but those pieces look ugly

[Sorkara123]

The queen looks like a birthday cake.

[DerEddingstift]

why did magnus move Nxd4?? i mean a player of his quality should have seen it coming

[PabloDPena]

@VitalSigns1 not sure about nd6 because d3! might be irritating. If Bxd3 then rxe1+ gets out of the fork and white is in less dominant position. If Qxd3 then Bf5 and the psn is getting really messy. if black just takes the rook like nxe8 then dxe2 and after Qxd7 exd1/Q wins for black. Safer and stronger to just take the pawn on d4.

[White : Kasparov]

[Black : Carlsen]

[TrollzZor]

im dont know very much about chess, but i didn't really understand what happened with the tower nd the king at arround 1:36, please tell me? :)

[surferboy462]

@TrollzZor its called castling, wen the king hops 2 spaces towards the rook and the rook hops over the king 1 space, its only playable if the king has not been checked in the game yet, and both pieces (rook &king) have not moved at all.. mostly used too get yur rooks in line or too get it out in the battle(:

[TheKBAC2]

@VitalSigns1 still a better move could be Nf6+, imho

[ummmj]

Can someone please explain what bxd4 means?

[chrism216]

ohhh lord... serious dark square issues... brilliant pawn sac from kasparov to get rid of that dark squared bishop.

lesson to be learned: dont lose your dark squared bishop in the kings indian when you are black!!!

[Stevoukos]

Why would Carlsen resign?

[PaxHadarach]

kasp holsds the grasp i heard

[janweltevreden]

I was amazed when i got ribka and went over old grandmaster games. Many so-called winning attacks in games chose the wrong path in defence and could have rebuffed the attack and in others draws were to be had. What games? They are too numerous to mention here but it proves the point that to become a great player you have to be able to obtain at least 40% against the strong computers.

[SAINTsoldi]

who did win? i dont see any check mate -.-

[MorgoSargas]

@SAINTsoldi It's very unusaul to see checkmate in these high level matches, so it means Carlsen resigned.

[39dougweight]

What kind of chess program can you view which move would be best? I have chessmaster, can you do it with that?

[FockerTheLopper]

can we have some comentary... god damn wtf, i want to watch a video to see it analyzed and see alternate lines etc not to see the moves I can find the games myself if i wanted them like this

[SRDTL]

@FockerTheLopper Are you paying some sort of subscription to this channel? If you don tlike it u can leave

[FockerTheLopper]

@SRDTL it's called criticism. If he takes my advice his channel will be better and get more views, which is good for him and if he does start doing commentary and analysis then it will be better for the viewers as we will learn more... What kind of a moron are you, giving me the options of like it or leave? No we have this thing to leave comments to help each other out, granted I was probably upset when I wrote that but I still gave good advice to the guy

[SRDTL]

@FockerTheLopper "god damn wtf i want to watch it analyzed" right, very good criticism, talking like an 8 year old who wants his ice cream.

[FockerTheLopper]

@SRDTL yes, if you disregard the language used and you took the message you'd see it made sense and was helpful; people don't like to watch videos just to see the moves, they like to see alternate lines and analysis etc etc

[ujustgotpwned2008]

@FockerTheLopper Firstworldproblems.jpg

[BlackBird9058]

@VitalSigns1

because when he take the knight of d6, black can take the knight of e2.

[MisterBoneman]

thanx for the game!

[manuelpulsero]

Bh3 is a mistake,is always with the problem of g4,so that bishop is wasting 1 time for himself and nothing got about touching the f1 square.

[manuelpulsero]

@VitalSigns1 cause with the variation he played he got 1 piece up,that its better than change 1 night for 1 rook

[THEMagnoDiabloxand]

por que en el 2:56 no le gano una de las 2 torres?? que alguien me explique :S

[manuelpulsero]

@THEMagnoDiabloxand porque con esta variante consigue 1 pieza de mas,lo cual es mejor que cambiar caballo por torre

[snkhuong]

sorry for being amateur but why did white win ? as far as i can see in the vid it isnt finished yet

[MisterBoneman]

@snkhuong the threats being promoted by White (N-Q6 attacking two pawns) takes away any pawn advantage already achieved. I think if you look again, you'll see that Black has lost his attack advantage, and is a solid piece down. Oh well. Magnus is young, yet. I doubt his time is done.

d=^))

[MorgoSargas]

@snkhuong Carlsen resigned.

[Beatlesforever97]

Which one is Kasparov ??

[junkyjuice21]

the position was equal and then magnus fluffed it all up. I don't get it.

[Jesse12011996]

boooooooooooooring

[TheSchandorff]

i think rating +- 2000 is required to get a hang on the complicated moves on GM moves

[ItzoSpain]

@VitalSigns1 At 2:56 Nd6 It is not really a bad move and is perfectly playable , but Bxd4 it's better . It would be very long to explain all variants , but if you have a good chess program you can verify that Bxd4 is the right move in this position .

[DiminishedStudios]

@ItzoSpain Actually ND6 is a losing move in my opinion. I could show you the lines if you like?

[kikook222]

@ItzoSpain Could you tell me a good chess program I could use to analyze moves? I'd love to see what I could have done better in my games vs people online.

[Databamse]

@VitalSigns1 Because this game is too complex for you to understand. They are thinking in long term. If you knew the answer you would have over 2600 chess rating in your notebook. If they would play your way, they would have lost. Just try a chess game and play against the computer at 2600 rating, you'll lose before you have time to sneeze.

[VitalSigns1]

@Databamse You didn't answer my question. I'm aware that this game is too complex for me; I'm sort of new to chess. I want to know why my suggestion wasn't a good move. If you can't answer the question sufficiently, don't answer at all.

[TheSchandorff]

@VitalSigns1

Because bxd4 wins more material. your suggestion nd6 wins a rock for a night. but the move bxd5 threats nf6+ or even better he threats to play bxg7-kxg7-dxd7! and he wins a plain bishop witch is alot better. So carlsen chose to play nxd4 instead of letting this happend. but as you saw he still lost his bishop and that is a lot better for white than a rock for a knight

[VitalSigns1]

@TheSchandorff So then why didn't black move his bishop out of the way when he had a chance at 3:07?? Perhaps it's not worth my time trying to analyze a GM chess game...I don't know if my mind is capable of grasping it

[chrism216]

@VitalSigns1 because he was losing it anyway...

say black plays Re7 to defend the bishop, then comes Nf6+, winning the bishop anyway, and if black plays Rc7 then comes Ng6+ again, picking up either a full piece or the exchange.

moving the bishop away obviously also just loses the exchange to either Nf6+ or Nd6.

the real blunder was the previous move, Nxd4.

[IpMan19]

hey man! you'd better indicate which colour is which.

[ItzoSpain]

@IpMan19 It is very simple ... "X vs Y 1-0" means that X plays with white and Y with black and X win ... In this game Kasparov played with white and Carlsen with black and Kasparov wins .

[IpMan19]

@ItzoSpain

Ok, so next time whenever i see X vs Y that means X (white) vs Y (black).

I know who wins.

[MoPar7055]

@ItzoSpain I'm sorry how did Kasparov win? I guess Carlsen resigned but it did not look like a resignable posistion to me.

[ItzoSpain]

@MoPar7055 Carlsen is actually in a losing position with a piece down , after Re3 black plays ... b5 , Be5 Ng5 , Rd3 a5? , Rd2 Rb1+? , Kg2 Ne3+ , Kh3 Rf1 , f4 , etc , etc ... And unless Kasparov makes a serious error (which is unlikely) he wins the game without too many complications . Thank you for your interest! Best Regards !

[chess240]

@IpMan19 Agreed, which is the young genius, and which is the old stick in the mud, do you expect us to know by their style of play. And did someone quit, because I saw a few moves that could have been played out .......... to the death of one player or the other.

[Musicramkoz]

@IpMan19  so who won?

[markpeet1967]

@IpMan19 After BLACK plays Ng7 - F5 on move 24.

WHITE should play on move 25...Ne4 - F6 ; CHECK......?

[allanvelico]

jueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, que descuido de Carlsen si es pendejo!!.. un alfil menos, cambios seguros!!

[jpdrummer07]

@ 3:11 i would've moved my knight to f6

[Simenter13]

@jpdrummer07 me too, but i think this would be a disadvantage 24 moves later and kasparov only knew that^^

[TheAvenger766]

@jpdrummer07

After Kf6+ Kh8 (and not...Kg7 because of Kxe8++ or ...Kf8 because of Kxh7+) Both Knight f6 and Queen d4 are under attack. For example after Qxd7, Black can take the knight by playing ...Qxf6.

So the move played by Kasparov (Qxd7 winning the bishop) is more simple and effective (and first of all, it's the only move I can understand of the whole game !!)

I'm French so please excuse me if my English is not correct.

[jpdrummer07]

@TheAvenger766 your English is very good and i understand completely! Thank you very much.

[TheAvenger766]

@jpdrummer07

You're welcome !! Now explicate chess strategy (at least the little I can understand...) will be my first step in learning English thanks to you !!

[MCkillU]

@jpdrummer07 N to f6 would have responded with king to G7 forcing the queen to move to stop the black knight capture. if queen take bishop here then black queen takes the knight leaving the position at even material, which white has anticipated as he takes the bishop instead of checking

[dilbertfungoing]

@MCkillU It's got to be more complicated than that, because if Kg7 white has Nxe8 with a double check. I think Kasparov may have just taken the simpler path, since he was winning anyway?

[TheTruDestroyer]

@jpdrummer07 And after King to f8?

[MrRuik]

@jpdrummer07 потом Король X F6-

[jewbinson]

@jpdrummer07 But then Kh8 and knight moves there's NxQ

[Achilles94627]

1:30 - c4 - c5? I would never think of playing a move like that. Either cxd5 or castle. Probably why I'm not a professional chess player!

[Bryant500000]

it was a big mistake by carlsen

[Crisben93]

oye esta partida de cuanto tiempo era para cada uno????????
