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!

[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

[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

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

[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

Where are you from? I am curious about your accent

[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
