A Thriller!!! (Anand Vs Kasparov - 1996 Blitz Chess Final) 

+eddiegaltek If you want to predict moves or see what you may have done it's way easier to do that when the monitor was up. Not the best solution tho, agreed on that count.

+eddiegaltek 1996 gonna 1996.

+eddiegaltek yea it pissed me alot at that moment

+eddiegaltek EXACTLY!

+eddiegaltek watch that fragment again, you'll follow the sequence just fine!

On point!😂

He’s a reptilian...😂😂😂

😅😅😅😅👌

Right

Really dumb positioning

yeah that view from the bottom corner of the board will never catch on lol .. ridiculous..

r/KillTheCameraMan

Lol .... and the Oscar goes to Randy Bailin

who won?

lmaoooo comment of 3 years

and that's very funny! :D

Damn that broke me up

Imrhan Khan Shajahan 😂😂

9:20 Nobody likes loosing

AS A CHESS PLAYER I ALWAYS GO BACK TO THESE COMMENTARIES ^^ KASPAROV IS THE ONE

Who won?

@@mukundthorat5672 Anand of course. That was the point that Kasparov did a stupid mistake and lost.

Anand is GOAT

@@debrupdas615 Ram goat is courageous.

@@kishanjethwani5565 yep coz i play chess...mei chess base India ke comments mei bhi dikh jaunga

Quite true. If you lose, you were not the better player that day. It really is that simple.

vizham blee very true

vizham blee Anand was just lucky.

We all know Kasparov was better

@@vivinvinil3166 you losers think Anand was lucky. How foolish you are! This is chess not a card game. This is a game where luck doesn't work. Kasparov made a blunder and That's all. Anand didn't made because Anand is much good player then Kasparov.

WoW You know alot dummy

@Nikunj Sanwaria Invented but not popular.

@Nikunj Sanwaria Anand was first GM from India If it was that popular maybe there would have been GM's before him and he sponsors countless chess player in India. And he is the only Indian who was world champion in chess. He influenced a whole country to take chess as a carrier option not just as a hobby.

Both Bannerjee and Sultan Khan were among the strongest players in the world in the mid 19th and early to mid 20th centuries, respectively, but chess seems to have declined in popularity in the second half of the 20th century until Anand repopularized it.

@@shubhamsingla5314 anand was first grand master from Asia

+Randy Bailin well ya but even for an unskilled player it's mostly obvious that you should sacrifice your "weaker" pieces before moving in with heavy stuff ^^

+cccpredarmy this is the most inane thing i've ever read.

+Randy Bailin Well if human chess players saw each opponent's move they'd be as good as a computer, hm? ;) The key here is that Anand had his previous chess game fresh in his mind, while computers clear their mind between each game, so you can't trick them. But Anand knew he was playing a mere human. With the same opening, he had touched on this alternative move in the previous game and had had time to reflect. While the commentators and Kasparov also recognized the opening, they did not have the alternative fresh in mind as had Anand. This is the brilliance of the trick! Anand had earned himself an advantage unavailable to others. Another reason why the mistake may be deemed elementary (by Brit commentators who get their sarcasm by their mother's milk it seems :D) is that queen takes without exchanges comes few and far between in chess, and in major tournaments all the more rarely. They could also have judged solely by Kasparov's reaction, he certainly deemed it an elementary oversight. But he was predispositioned toward how the previous game played out. He just didn't have access to the alternative moves in Anand's mind. Just brilliant! :)

+Randy Bailin word!

OK, so my comment had a thought in it, so it was TLDR. Sometimes the truth is TLDR.

Lol....Hahhhha I agree!

Lol....Hahhhha I agree!

Fuck...yeah!!! I was thinking for quite some time that Kasparov's face looked very familiar to something I had seen before, but couldn't recall it. Thanks for reminding me it was Mr Bean!!

so right..... he looks like Mr.bean in general

Lol

Yes, He’s a very patient and still as a rock!! This is how one should perceive difficulties in life too!!

Yes

Gustavo you are from? Russia?

Yes

เจ้า deep blue มันคิดยังไงวะ

Hey was it not possible to play queen a7 and save the Queen instead of protecting the room.

Look Carefully...if u can spot at 5.06...Kasparov's Eye roll is in 2 parts 😂😁: 1st he looks at the Black pawn as it is being taken by Anand & then eyes roll immediately towards the black rook which will come under attack by the white queen with a Check! 🤣Priceless...so quick and momentary...that shows Kasparov's speed at anticipating the opponents next move!!

Not really, Peter leko, Narodisky, Hess, Howell. All of them do a better job than this.

​​​@@abhinavshankar414Danny Rensch, Yasser, Fabi, Maurice Ashley. But I do really like Daniel King's style.

Do you know who the commentators were for this game?

Vishy is way better at Blitz than most GMs so when time is low, people blunder against Vishy mostly (whether he makes such moves to make them blunder or not is bot sure)

@@abhinavjain2985yes he is better in blitz than most of the players. He played 47 moves in just 1 second against Hikaru Nakamura, what else do you expect from him to not be callled 'lightning kid'?

He underestimate Anad and made a blunder,

He got steamrolled by Kasparov until that one move, so Anand really got lucky here. And even after that, Kasparov proved very recourceful, although Anand played it safe.

megselv there is no luck in game only winners or loosers

kamlesh More Completely wrong. There is luck in chess, but not bad luck. A good example is Nakamura vs Carlsen in Zurich. Carlsen got extremely lucky, while Nakamura can't blame anyone but himself.

megselv you mean to say all the grandmasters of chess are merely lucky ones.i didnt know that.

เจ้า deep blue มันคิดยังไงวะ

Mindset plus a non violent diet plus cultured background doesn't let you age that fast

He moves the queen ahead capturing anand's bishop

Ok

Yes.

OneEyedKeys Lol!

I just make a stone face so the opponent doesn't feel sadistic.

Lol..this comment made my day

You are correct. You can see at the end at 9:18 he gives a quick handshake and he runs to turn the oven off

@@Mj-kl3rb LOL

Kasparov enjoys his game

losing moment in the game... blundering his queen or the rook.

Yeah, that reaction made the whole video worth it.

+Saturno Luna Absolutely hilarious.

+Saturno Luna Some Louis de Funes type slapstick reaction.

and Anand rubbing his hands together afterward like "hehehehehe...."

+dacccad Anand did nt get much publicity like others just coz he is Indian,despite the fact that chess was invented in India

+DhDeadMan hahahahahahahahahah

+DhDeadMan The funny thing about this statement is your grammar. It is "at that moment"

Sai Kiran Oh my god smh, english is not my first language man. What the hell is your problem? Get a life or something

DhDeadMan just trolling m8 lol yet you know common contractions like smh xD

Sai Kiran xD

Join the fun chess-bot.com/

Yep. In blitz it's common to miss blunders until the millisecond you make your move otb and the blunder becomes apparent. 🤣 So yeah, it's quite possible he had to wait for Anand to make his move so as to not give it away. 😃

that little giants reference. well played, sir

I was wondering if anyone would catch it. :)

CalvinistOnACouch that's over 100%, sire.

+CalvinistOnACouch 80%/40%= 2 players

+CalvinistOnACouch plz explain the reference. i found it funny simply becuz right of the bat i was like " no it's not a physical game, it's more like 99% mental " then i realized the joke ;)

The Rocks . Look at Anand's hands at that moment. Hahahahhaha. I MADE IT

not his peak

@@LV_Lab yes ..his peak

You weak 😂

I think you guys pawn jump each other 🤣

yes

Go home cameraman, you are drunk.

Go home drunk, you are cameraman

You are home Cameraman, go drunk

In that time it was a great performance to film à chess match 😉

Hey Anand is my friend he come to my home

@mabok Lem What?

Hahaha

So true

Stonefaces? Lol have you seen Carlsen play? Every chess player would make the face Kasparov did if they blundered

it depends on the personalities, it will be wierd if Anand started making funny faces

You guys aint see Hikaru orvanchuk play

The commentators didn't give Anand the right credit he deserved for this. It was really Anand's superiority which showed Kasparov's blunder to Kasparov and the world. Kasparov didn't realize his mistake until Anand's hand went on that Pawn to gesture that he was going to pick it up - and play that QxP move - while Kasparov was expecting him do QxQ. If really Kasparov was that swift in his calculations, he would have sensed his blunder right away and not after Anand's hand went for the move. Anand is way superior at this specific sequence of moves.

The camera angle is fantastic and dramatic looking this is some of the best camerawork I've EVER seen filming chess so stuff a donkey in your mouth idiot.

The announcer very clearly says "Qxg4!" There's only one Qxg4 in the game so I am not sure why you find it so hard to figure out what move it is. The camera work is great imo. It totally captures Kasparov's miscalculation. He seems to be expecting white to trade Queens after QxB so he can pile up on c2 after NxQ but he overlooks the open diagonal for white's queen after Qxg4.

killy731 what?

GuitarSlinger2112 You do realize that when this was being broadcasted live, people who didn't know the best english were watching. Also the board didn't have letters on it, not everyone has the mental ability to connect different boxes to a place in an instant.

Okk

Unfortunately, the board they used has pieces that take up almost all the square, so putting coordinates would make it cramped. Also, the commentators assume the audience is capable of quickly translating algebraic notation to square location without coordinates.

+MrKhatMan they can just put it in the border of the board

realityofimagination I don't want to argue with your claim that coordinates should be added for convenience, but it may have looked awkward to superimpose coordinates on the players faces.

He means the digital blue and white one

+gmshadowtraders With experience you will know instantly without thinking which square corresponds to each set of coords whether white or black is at the bottom.

More like 9:20

More like 10:54

Memes were not in trend those days Or else Kasparov 's expression would get many memes.

And she has spent the last 6 months with your brother overseas

Same here

+unknown Anand seems to be the luckiest player on Earth. I remember Ivanchuk missing an obvious mate in 1 against him.

+HenryJonesVictor in this game you are feeding of opponent's mistakes. So no surprises here.

+ravishingravi Yeah, that's exactly what we're talking about here: opponent blunders against Anand.

+HenryJonesVictor opponent blunders happen when the opponent is feeling the pressure, so if an opponent makes a blunder against anand, its probably because anand has pressured them into it....unless you are trying to say that Anand is not a good player and just wins by luck ALL the time, and if that is the case, go ahead and say it, instead of beating around the bush

Aditya Mathur Not at all, he's a really good player, I like him. He just gets lucky sometimes, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Saying that he wins by luck every time would be just plain stupid.

Also commentators: "what.. Queen takes g4.. what's he overlooked?"

Okk

+surendra rathore There is no confirmed physical evidence from the early days of chess. No chess boards or complete chess sets have been found. Some objects excavated by archaeologists might have been early chess pieces, but they might just as easily have served a purpose that had nothing to do with a game. The evidence that we have is taken from literature, and even that is subject to interpretation. Does a certain word translate as 'chess', as some other board game, or as something else entirely?

+Obama Pimp Jr. HahA

+Vito Corleone The earliest form of Chess known as Chaturanga in Sanskrit originated in India and was adopted and modified by the Persians and Chinese and later Europeans.. Chess pieces have been found in India...

source ??????

+surendra rathore kasparov is an azerbaijani jew... your argument is invalid ^^

for sure dude!

Anand and Kasparov were anything but friends and Kasparov isn't even a russian anymore lol

Here chess game is happening

THEY ARE FRIENDS? *I DIDN'T KNOW THAT*

@@adiaswal5940 Most of the Russians hate Kasparov due to his anti-Russian political views and sponsoring. In addition, this was 1996 - a time when drunk Yeltsin sold away the country to the America and ran it into poverty, and Kasparov totally supported him. Hence, I would say that most of the Russians were really happy to see Kasparov lose.

Yeah

Yeah didn't u see?

No

Hartmann Gnadl Watching it live is frustrating for sure, since we miss lots of moves. But this is a _video_, and I think GJ Chess should have inserted board positions, giving his audience a chance to see what was going on.

Good point Hartmann, but nowadays, filming mostly the faces makes the most sense, as they now have a 2d board shown the whole time on part of the screen (or people can follow the game online while watching the players on TV)

Every chess video is like that. The chess content creators are literally all retards because weve been suggesting this basic, ELEMENTARY idea for a long time, but nope. The fucks would have me stare at the mole on the side of someones head.

Its always like this. There is no chess video director who has an IQ above single digits. There is no way

Good analysis for those who didn't understand why Vishy's move is so critical. However, I assume you were referring to the pawn on g4, not the pawn on g3.

@@brayancr3230 bishop on g7, not h7. it was a really bad spot to cut away, especially with the announcers saying "what's he missed?"

5:15

Running over the game in their head to see where they went wrong.

because their brains are running at electric speed already :P

***** It seems we have Gary Kasparov in disguise here :P

Fischer would stay at the Board and stare at it when he would lose.

To go throw up. LoL
