tldr: Kasparov yeets his rooks

The first Game shown is still the greatest attacking game of all time played between strong players.

“The Ginger Beard of Knowledge here” Great opening line Simon 🤣

Garry vs me. Garry-- Sacrifice his queen! Me-- resign!

The first one against Topalov is probably Garry’s best game ever played

Simon's not only a brilliant chess teacher, but also the most entertaining chess talker ever!

what about the one where he sacrificed queen for two minor pieces against kramnik? that was the best one imo

The first game with topalov wasn't easy at all... The moves were hard to find so I think that it's the best one

The violin edit at 2:09 is gold😂😂

Good to see many people payed attention to first one. I think bishop doesnt defend it, but a queen does. I mean, queen takes d5 look good, feels good, and is good. It centralizes the queen and defends b3. White CANT instantly give a checkmate so, i think gingerbeard should have at least noted that it isnt as easy as it seems. I tried to find a force checkmate with white there, but seems like after black takes d5 with queen, he has one spare move to get out of the situation. If white plays Kb2, black queen can pin with d4 and it will be a queen trade and no check mate. If white tries to distract black queen from d5 by rook to e5, black queen can check on d1 and IF king ever plays to b2, he can pin it again. So, no clear win here. If someone tells me, i would be glad.

Amazing! Could watch this all day.

Love the videos, thanks!!

I would love to see the commentator's Top 5 best moves of his career

I like this GM

why topalov did not played bishop to d5 or queen to d5 at 2:27

This guy even before starting the video: “Like the video NOW!” So scary!! I liked the video and ran away! Lol.

First move of the day, "Who needs those rooks anyway, just throw them out."

To all of you who commented about Bxd5 or Qxd5 stopping the mate in game 1 .... Bxd5 can be met by Kb2 (any move by black), Qb3ch, BxQb3, cxb3 mate. Qxd5 can be met by Ra7 Rd6, Kb2 Qd4, QxQ RxQ, Ra6 mate. If black answers QxQ with Rc6 (in order to prevent the mate), then Qd3 (or Qe3), any move by black, Qb3 mate. 2:26

This guy is awesome and great moves from Garry too

I love your videos. Thanks Simon!!

Love your enthusiasm great examples thanks

Nice vid. Sweet n concise.

Great channel! Its not like you’re not going to really be able to steal these different players’ moves, but what an awesome insight into how they think during a game.

This is one of my favorite channels.

My sacrifices are even more mysterious

You have really picked up fantastic positions from various players

Ginger Rules! Love these top fives!!!!!

There is this element of blindness in chess where the obvious is seen but the optimal is hidden ❤

Hell yes Simon, hell yes mate!

3:13 black queen moves near white pawn queen eat queen check Pawn eat queen

In the last example, a slower way to win could be Bg5, preventing the King from attacking the other bishop and threatening Qf4. This could at least lead to Black losing his queen. But a quicker win is best.

Your commentary is awesome

What about the game from Kasparov - Karpov World Championship Match (1990) with the awesome Queen Sacrifice? That was pretty sweet, I think.

Every time watching those videos ,have a feeling ,that I become a little bit better myself.

What would a gangster do?

Almost every move in this entire series is a sacrifice

2:21 Topalev handled the position the best he could and if Kasparov weren’t Kasparoff he would have lost that game. This is maybe the most famous example of “it takes to geniuses to make a good game” or something like that

2:21 What? But Qxd5 protects b3? I put this position to stockfish and it says it's a dead draw, so if there is a win here it's certainly not straightforward. I would've liked a bit more explanation on this.

The First one was Not just the move it was the Game, Thats the craziest Game i‘ve Ever Seen, Kasparov vs Topalov

on 6:30 vs Anand, what if after Bishop H6 Black plays Knight F3 #, if Pawn takes Knight then Queen takes pawn E5, It stops mate, Black's a Knight down but white sacrificed a rook earlier. Also if white Queen takes Knight instead of pawn, Queen still takes pawn E5 with threat on capturing both white bishops, one with pawn one with queen.

Who got an ad that says " chess u love this game...

In the first game, I could see black has couple of moves, BxC6 or QxC6 putting a defender on B3 square which stops the Qb3 checkmate. Evenif White put a Rook to attack be sqaure Black has Queen and Rook in same rank. Am I missing something here?

I like " the ginger beard of knowledge "

There are 2 people you do not want to challenge or mess with. Garry Kasparov and Gary Oak.

Happy birthday Garry !!!

3:10 move the black queen to e5,its a winning match

great inventions were made

@2:29 why can't black bishop capture d5 defending checkmate?

In the first game at the end is it possible to take d5 with the bisschop. Or do I miss something?

In the first game couldnt Black take the pawn on d5?

7:50 knight e2 king h1 knight g3 check h2 pawn captures only choice queen f1 with check king to h2 and white queen on b1 to cover the g6 square?

At 2:19 , Black can defend CheckMate by Capturing d5 Pawn with Bishop. Bxd5 or Qxd5

Brilliant!

I LOVE this series

When can we have top 5 draw offers by Anish giri?

First game: I think im dumb but y cant queen / bishop take pawn to stop queen from checkmate

0:55 cxrook? 2:19 risky move

2:28 what is stopping queen and bishop to come on d5 check mate can be successfully defended !!

Shouldve put in the moment when he dropped his knight and took it back against judit polgar

At 7:30 instead of black queen move, black could have moved pawn to 6g to delay the game little longer sacrificing the queen. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Firtst game shown: Why can‘t the Queen take the pawn on d5 and prevent the mate on b3 which would lead to an equal position?

GM Simon William, how to play dynamic chess?

GM Simon Williams i believe Gary Kasparov believed in the skewered check mate which he demonstrated against Anatoly Karpov.The great chess champion ever.? Probably because of his insane calculation and exertion.

The greatest player ever was Mr Kasparov. He could smash people when needed but the third game showed he was able to do the sort of positional sacrifice as Petrosian.

Can someboby please explain why at 2:19 pawn on D5 can't be taken either by queen or bishop to protect B3 square ? Thank you.

" - You look a bit short Nigel..." wonder if he also would say this to Anand : " - Viswa I´m taking you too a bar mitzva…"

in the first game .. what if after Qc3. black captures that pawn on d5 using Queen or bishop? white King can just move to b2 and its over right? or no? sorry am just a noob

On the first example what if black plays Qxd5 if R a7 then B b7 and then R a8 if K b2 Q d4 so white can't move his queen and with rook up and exchanging queens it's winning,the bishop on h6 isn't doing much and it will be very hard to come to c2 or d1 to give some check

in the last game, after Bishop takes Rook on h8, isn't Knight to e2 a forced checkmate if white Queen doesn't take that knight? and if she takes the knight it is Queen, rook, bishop for black vs rook and two bishops for white. Unless i'm missing something

Lol „the ginger beard of knowledge here“. Okay, sir, here take my subscription.

in the first game what if the bishop takes the pawn on d5 ?

Can you guys do Boris Spassky?

Question First example Why not bishop takes d5 to prevent checkmate?

Another suggestion for the first game: White plays bishop e6 Black pawn takes white bishop e6 White rook takes black pawn e6 Black queen takes white rook e6 White queen to c7 check Black bishop to b7 White queen takes black bishop b7 checkmate

Bishop can take d5 in the first clip stopping the queen from delivering a check mate too

3:13 ' Did you spot it?' I didn't even spot the rook on c1 😅

Once I made a very similar move to number four against my dad. It was six moves to mate in the same situation, involving two bishops and one rook sacrifice

Does a computer find these moves relatively easily (in term of depth in the tree of solutions and time complexity) ?

I just wondering in the 5th move what if black played g6 follow up by his bishop to h6

First game how it is check mate?if queen capture d5 then how check mate?

It was not checkmate 2:20 : black plays Qxd5, but Re7+ is brilliant

On Game 1 you went over doesn't Qxd5 or Bxd5 provide adequate defense and black is doing fine? Or what am I missing...looks even after that

2:26 black could use bishop to defend because if bishop moves to d4, it can kill the queen.

2:23 black can defend checkmate with Qxd5

@ 2:24 why can’t Queen on d6 take pawn on d5 to defend against the checkmate. Rook on E7 is useless now since the king is further down the board. Or even Bishop to take the d5 pawn. Protects against the checkmate

What are you talking about in firs game Qxd5 and equal position

perhaps the greatest player ever

vs Shirov is really cool. Sack the exchange, gain space and a knight on a post.

At 2:22 why wouldn't a8 or d6 to d5 not work? And at 3:12 what about c8 to c4

In the first games what does white do after black plays bishop takes d5?

At 2:23, why don't the oppenent tried a8xd5? Bishop will protect that square right. Am I missing something?

Interesting commentary

In the last game, after bh6, isn't g6 a good defence?

At 2:24 can't the black queen just take the pawn on d5, defending checkmate?

Join GM Simon Williams is always cool

Can someone explain the reasoning behind why black resigned in the second (2:30) scenario? As far as I can tell, black could still sacrifice his queen to temporarily block. If white then plays Qxc5, bxc5 trades queens. So obviously white would opt to play dxc5 instead. However, while black is down a queen and the attack is still on, white's d pawn is now temporarily blocking their queen's check. And so black then takes white's knight with gxf6. By white's next move, black's king has room to breathe. Black is down a queen but white is down a knight. I'm still a brand new player so I could be misreading this. And if a professional resigned they certainly saw something I couldn't here. Can someone explain if there's a forced mate down the line? Thanks in advance.

Epic I love chess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:50 pawn takes pawn (Me) “hold up a dang minute “

in the first video, the black isn't defenseless, black can simply take the middle pawn and defend b3 square. Although Kasparov won the game anyway in a couple more moves, the game is not just over yet.
