Garry Kasparov : The Chess Player 

Brooo He always like that ??

Very true, though for most players their memory is subconsciously developed - just by playing.

Bobby Fischer said so himself when he went to Iceland and that is why he hated chess. It’s so much about memorization. That’s why he created Fischer random chess.

And great imagination too

Completely untrue!! Haven't u ever read about the polgar sisters. There father proved all that stuff about being born with good memory and blanlabla is completely false

@@davidbichelmeyer4535 I said "almost".

LOL

Jim Frien This Documentary is modeled after Soviet-era Media and other Documentary Pictures. The Soviet School of Cinema and the Theoretical Developmentst that Eisenstein and his coterie developed are not those (at least necessarily) employed even by Filmmakers such as Tarkovski. This is very 'manufactured,' as were many elements of Soviet Society.

I agree. To put it another way... it's fucking crap. I'm not Werner Herozog, but I feel strongly that he would agree. The slow down on "62! Wow Gary you're a Marvel..."

Sorry Spielberg..

+W Leon and look at chelsea now :)

and look at United now :)

@@heitorabdias2212 and look at Tottenham now;)

Look at Liverpool now

Why

Maybe he's a woman, so you do good not to call him "man". Being politically correct, you cannot do any wrong, right? - Welcome to the 21st century society!

@@unikat-kmnkmn2799 Actually, I take that back. I just heard he is for nuclear war for the sake of the nazis in Kiev...

You must have serious doubts in life. He may have different political opinions, but in no way did he state he's pro nukes

​@@longbeachboy57ommmg is he really for that ??? But I didnot like him before too

Yes, Nigel was never World Champion. He did play in a match for the World Championship in 1993, but Garry Kasparov defeated him.

Me too.I was diagnosed w/ cancer in late 91 and after having been away from competitive chess returned w/ a frenzy...That Saitek was monumental for me ! Cheers !

@@kevinmurphy3307 Hi, Kev - Wow. You're response is so relevant, as I now sit here with stage 3 colo-rectal cancer... Strange days, man. But onto lighter fare; have you watched the HBO produced documentary on Bobby Fischer ? It's here on RU-vid & I think it's called Bobby Fischer vs. The World. About an hour and a half long & so worthwhile to watch. Larry Evans' & Anthony Saidy's input on him were remarkably insightful, I thought. Do take time to watch this at some point. One of the best things I've watched in some time, actually. It leaves you hurting inside for the man, as he clearly went the way of Paul Morphy.... Thank you for writing, Kevin- Regards from Delaware, USA 😎

@@mellotronage7073 Wishing you well I have fought and beaten 2 different diagnosis, you will win too. Stage 3 aint Stage 4 ! I own the Fischer Doc but thanx for heads up, just watched 2 diff doocs on Kasparov earlier when i left comments... . Yes parallels between Morphy and Fischer are profound...So you are in Delaware?!....Small world but ya wouldnt wanna paint it!.... Im a writer and professional musician, lived in Rehoboth Beach playing music there at Sydneys and numerous other venues inc Rehoboth Beach jazz Festival and dating a local gal off and on from 2002 to 2016. Cheers and all the best dealin w/ the enemy..Wishing you the best from sunny So. Cal

@@kevinmurphy3307 Hey, that's great to hear, Kevin; the fight, being the victor. Our having this area in common is cool, too- as well as music... I'm just receiving my 1st dosage of Folfox, the strange brew that'll fight any remnants of the larger-than- a-grapefruit-mass I had in my guts. Unfortunately, a psilocybin mushroom-based tea is not part of their treatment plan....😎 I also love music, but not so much that was made after, say, the mid-90s... When Phish was still relevant ?... I consider The Black Crowes to be the last great, true rock 'n' roll band, really... My tastes in music tend toward prog rock, jazz & classical. The Beatles, Stones, KinKs, The Who, The Nice, Yes, Genesis, Zappa, King Crimson, ELP, Argent....see the English thread through all of 'em ? 😎 I run in cycles with music. I go strong at one or two given bands; almost like rediscovering them, (not that I'd ever forget any of it...) at random in an intense fashion. I'm running out of box sets to purchase ?!! I dig the odd time signatures, several movements within a given song....that kind of vein. Essentially, nothing that is danceable, lol. I'm truly happy to have had this opportunity to chat it up with you ( btw, thumbnail pic is of Amber, my sweetheart of a daughter. She's cute- I'm sorry if I've disappointed you. I'm a 50 y/o dude- but HANDSOME !!) So, the Fischer DVD isn't lost on you, huh ? Is there anything else out there that is comparable that you're aware of ? Meaning, chess in general... Did you see Pawn Sacrifice ? My father loved chess & taught it to me. I actually became better than him, somewhat. But, we were still basically patzers, never having entered any sort of competition. But the love of the game is all that matters in the end, and the Fischers, Kasparovs, Carlsens, Karpovs, ect. are just something that the rest of us just get to marvel at and behold. Heck, my skill level has me marvelling at the guys who blitz in Washington Square Park......😎 Good to talk with you, brother !! Stay in touch if you'd like, for whatever the reason, ok ?

I just wrote an eloquent piece here only to see it disappear....anyway, cant do this justice again but will try. I dont do this on public forums but from one cancer survivor to another Here goes: Read autobiography of a yogi. Greatest book ever read and Im a professional writer send away for meditation lessons, dont anticipate any dogma or theology JUST get the techniques and start meditating...same exact concept as Chi Gung.... Its 21st century teachings and NO its not a cult....concept of marshaling and cultivating the life force that is within and without the entire universe Its modern Christianity..or is it?!...I hate labels, and TRUTH is beyond any label.... Hinduism and Taoism, the Kung Fu monks practice of Chi Gung was understood all over the East and middle east ..Christ accomplished same miracles by virtue of this ancient science. When you begin to practice you will have your mind blown and your heart will be at peace because "Grace " enters every sincere devotees life once that spiritual contract is made and at THAT point you will KNOW and you will know that you know and no one or nothing will ever take that away from you once you arrive there. You will also begin to see scripture w/ different eyes. "if they eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light"..Thats a reference to the "3rd eye" From Revelation: "And being turned I saw seven golden candlesticks and one like the son of man" Thats a ref to the 7 chakras that are set in the spine the "Tree Of Life" .The same spine the life force travels up during respective inhalation and exhalation meditation. " And the truth will set you free" 323 226 2471 is Mother Center # Peace and Blessings Brother

Yes, indeed..... He went a little bobby fisher there.. Not uncommon for the best ones to get a little crazy here and there LOL

@@morten1975dk yes, there are no conspiracies - the world is rainbows and cotton wool, run by benevolent old guys who never lie and want to take care of you. no, most of what most people know, is simply not true and controlled.

omg me too

As well as Magnus Carlson the current world champion

@@mikestock969 Not human at all when it comes to chess.

Yeah. Me too.

Well it's possible, he would have an incredible memory, especially since he can memorize up to 10,000 games.

Not likely. If the games were heavy theory then he most likely remembers the games to a certain point and the critical tactical points but doesn't remember the entire game. Dates are fairly easy so that's also possible. Phone numbers also because in the 80s and 90s most people had people's numbers memorized because you had to actually dial land line phones in the days before cell phones. This is mostly true

Magnus can actually do that xD but hes on another lvl

you are really ignorant about the incredible memory of the world chess champion, even the past world chess champion. They will not become world chess champion if their memory is just like an ordinary. Chess training need a powerful memory to remember all the moves or games during the analysis. Bobby Fischer remember all the games he played in a blitz tournament and recited all the thousand moves while on dinner.

Siempre. Convenido.

XD

talking has a tendency to interrupt concentration. they aren't playing a friendly game over a few drinks, this is their livelihood.

I bet he was in his dreams!!!! until 1993 and all that.......

Henrique Brito he was short of a few points

World champion cocksmoker. Just never at chess, being most fair to the man.

Obviously a mistake, they probably meant World Championship Challenger.

Nope but to play for the world championship in itself is something though

Yes, the kid didint win. Kaspa won all the games

Is that kid actually Magnus? 😃

Il migliore!

🤣 Those art pieces are really ridiculous indeed

@@dimifisher7942 lol kasparov didn't want to be there with that art lady hacking junk

@@JohnS-il1dr Yes 🤣

the kid after that, magnus' pre-reincarnation

@FichDichInDemArsch why ?

Yep! :)

So that is young Magnus in the video?

No, young magnus not there in the video@@askaenna9111

You ought to write a column about it.

I don't know which specific board you refer to as the documentary shows many boards. But search google for "buy chess" and check big sites. They're all very good. I bought things at Chessbazaar and it was great.

He did lose. The captions at 5:17 are incorrect.

Isn't that a Neanderthal trait?

@@rockopolo3247 red hair is.

I don't even think it counts as a deadest despite whatever IBM and the judges said. He asked for logs of the computer having thought that one move and as far as I know they didn't provide it.

@FichDichInDemArsch 🤦

what exactly is western chess? you do know chess originated in india, and far closer to china than the US or europe.

+End Vegetarianism I to wondered the same thing they seemed to miss out the word challenger....

The only thing I can think of is that he might have had a sex change and is the former women's world champion.

so how come carlsen has a massively superior record over kramnik. kramnik is one of the weakest champions in history and was lucky enough to play kasparov in the twilight of his career. anyone who knows the first thing about chess knows you cannot compare kramnik to carlsen.

Garry would crush him

I would bet on Fischer but it could go either way

@@rokanza2293 I have the same gut-feeling. Neither a socalled "crazy" Fischer at his best or a socalled thousand-eyed monster like Kasparov is something to be unserious about. In my view they´ve probably been the players that prepared best against their opponents.

My theory is that the same thing that makes people really good at detecting real patterns is the same thing that helps them see patterns that aren't there.

Excellent description. The isolation endured by many top achievers and intelligent people compounds the problem. But I've also thought for some time that the inclination to strategic thinking, of viewing everything in terms of tactics, can leave a great chess player mentally unbalanced. Anyone who spends 18 hours a day focused on just one thing like chess is already pushing themselves to the limit. But if they begin to view everyday life as a chess problem to be solved, this is very damaging. People like Fischer seemed to have Aspergers, and was already probably predisposed to schizophrenia. Give him super intellectual abilities and world fame and...well, we know what happens then.

Some might consider the total dedication to the game as a kind of an insanity.

Beyond a certain level, focused genius in one discipline is usually attended by notable deficiencies in most others. Kasparov has the benefit of his deficiencies being in benign aspects of life. He is no lunatic, merely eccentric. And he has accomplished much which benefits mankind.

You haven’t gotten cracked out in 30 years?

or junior WC ? not sure about it !?

Yes, Short became world champion.

Play better than your opponent.

no such thing.

There are tactics to try and win, but nothing guaranteed to win.

Kasparov is a useful idiot when it comes to politics and history.

True. Very sloppy. But an interesting docu all the same.

I was thinking the same - this guy is a creep

+Sinan Guer why that comment?

it looks very like him...I thought it was, but this in france and he is much higher graded I think, sure there is a grading limit for this, like 1300 and they have black.

Are Armenians hairier than Azerbaijanis?

Yeah, that whole sequence is great... Kasparov is like "What are you looking at?" And then he gets upstaged by Korchnoi wandering through the frame!
