Kasparov vs Short - Speed Chess Challenge Pt.1

http://ChessNoir.com Live at the Hippodrome, 1987. World Champion Garry Kasparov goes against the highest rated British player Nigel Short for the London Docklands Speed Chess Challenge Trophy.

Nigel desperately needs a win after losing the first 2 games to the World Champion.

Very original play by both players. Kasparov unusually plays the Reti and Short answers with the Chigorin Defense. Live commentary by Grandmaster Ray Keene.

Game 25 is "speed chess"?

oh how times have changed.

[ChessNoir]

@2TheDeath this is actually game 3 out of 6. the 25 minute limit is what makes it speed chess or "rapid"

@strong8action

I don't think you understand how the ELO rating system works. I'm nowhere near good enough at chess to say who is better of Kasparov and Fischer but I'm a good enough mathematician to tell you that comparing ratings between players from different times is next to useless. ELO rating measures your playing strength as compared to the other players you're playing against, nothing else.

@SuperJuiceman11 Carlsen and players today have the games of their predecessors to study and not only study... they have advanced computer engines to analyize with. Put all the players in history in tournament Magnus Carlsen Wins

@kinggambitabc . I dont know about Fischer being the best of all time. He considerably had the most dominating performances against fleets of the worlds best GMs. During his time he was the best player. Tal pushed chess to new levels Fischer did so too. then Kasporov mastered the game some more.. But My ranking would be 1. Carlsen 2. Kasparov 3. Fischer .
