Greetings from Nikšić, sir, and thank You for another great analysis of yet another great game. I was 10 at the time and standing beside the very table where this game was being played, witnessing a moment of chess history. Thanks again for reminding me of it.
One of the most impressive things about Kasparov's tactical play is his awareness of tactical possibilities based on LONG moves: moves that span nearly the whole board. His Queen sorties toward the end of this game provide a good example.
Awesome presentation from you once again, Mato! The chess world has become so sophisticated these days. We need people like you who like to show that this game is still just a game and can be very entertaining when not taken so seriously :)
LOL... My wife asked if I was watching, "The Count" from Sesame Street do a chess commentary video. No matter. I love watching these videos... Very instructional and entertaining... Keep up the good work.
As an aside my favourite fictional detective, Nero Wolfe, is from Montenegro. In the novel "The Black Mountain" he travels back to his homeland to arrest the murderer of his adopted daughter. BTW James Bond reads Nero Wolfe! I *didn't* find the "killah move", but then I'm not the greatest chess player of all time. I *did* look at it but couldn't find a promising continuation. Very nice video, thanks as always.
You have to give Portisch credit for balls of steel. Noone else in their right mind would allow Garry Kasparov, one of the fiercest King hunters, a combination like Bxh7+.
I was watching this video on Onlinechesslessons.net titled 'My story - Kasparov' (or something similar). In the video he was explaining the game and said he planned to play Ne5 at 4:10 but then his bishop would be shut down. So he thought he would be better without the bishop and sacrificed it.
I might be wrong , as I am at beginners level, but shouldn't queen to H5 be wining much faster ? I mean you can't capture rook as there is H8 ? And if king moves queen captures pawn and then you just check mate with the knight wherever king goes ? Or am I missing something ?
It is my dream that I get to play exhibition game with on of the top grandmasters in the world and Mato will eventually use that game in one of his video commentaries. I wonder how he would apply the element of humor which he quite frequently does.
I'm curious, if rather than moving the White Queen, you go directly with Knight d7, wouldn't you force an exchange resulting in a trade of Black rook and Queen for White knight and rook? That is, of course if the King doesn't move. If King escapes to e8, it's mate in two, no?
7:32 rook d5 and the queen falls! isn't better than rook f3? so it's exchanging rook with queen or free knight! which one is better? btw both end up to a checkmate but I'm just curious why this and not that :D
I'm sure I must be missing something here, but at 5:20 isn't Qh5 better than Qf5? Then the only way black can stop mate is with Qxe5, losing the queen.
Poz Mato da li mi mozete reci koji program koristite na prikazivanju ovog videa,i kako npr; nakon analize poteza da se automaski vratim na poziciju orginalne partije al da se nevracam potez po potez nego ovako kao sto vi pokazujete u ovoj partiji,Ako moze odgovor hvala
Mato, do you coach online ? How can i contact you for this purpous ??? If no, thanks anyway for the precious videos you make. They really helped me to improve my games. Best regards.
Great game! Gary Kasparov being the greatest player of all time? That's a tough one. There is also Bobby Fischer, Alexander Alekhine, and a couple of others.
MatoJelic OMG Mato I thought you will select some random good chess games and analyze and publish. Weekly two. But you have scheduled to upload till Sep2014? Unbelievable !! So good chess waiting for Mato s Dates :) :)
Thank you again, Mato, for your excellent instruction. The debate about the greatest chess player of all-time will go on and on and on. But no one will ever do what Bobby Fischer did: singlehandedly take on a dominant chess system, change the way chess champions are decided via matches instead of a tournament, win 20 consecutive challenger games in a row, then defeat the world champion without a team of advisors in his corner. Every subsequent chess champion became a celebrity and lived an honourable and luxurious life. And all this from a man who dropped out of high school and was made into a pariah by his native land. Bobby Fischer will one day be acknowledged for whom he is: the Father of Modern Chess.
***** True. Fischer won it only once, but he didn't beat a man. He defeated a whole group of grandmasters who later admitted that they had rigged the system. He also won twenty consecutive games with no draws. No chess grandmaster has ever done that and I doubt if any grandmaster ever will. Finally Fischer was playing on a greater stage than any player before or since. I lived through the Cold War and followed Fischer's entire career. I doubt if the circumstances will ever be the same again. Indeed, I hope they aren't. Actually we should have at least two chess eras: The Pre-Computer Age and the Post-Computer Age. Fischer is the greatest player of the former and Kasparov is the greatest player of the latter.
i think Lajos Portisch had a chance to draw with the legend kasparov on 6:57 he could have played Be7 to block that check .did i miss any interesting move in replay to this Be7 ?
Kasparov has an IQ of 192 which is 10 points more than Albert Einstein. Kasparov after chess should have gone for Scientific Research and earn noble price.
Hi Mato, this is Amila. I'm from Bosnia and Hercegovina. Now where is Bosnia and Hercegovina....hehehe... you know :) Anyways, I have a question for you: can you please stop making videos so I can have my boyfriend back? PS. HE says that if you ever come to Norway, you have a place to stay at :) Cheers
+Tazy50 what I meant to say was that black is winning a whole took when rook D5 is played by white. when queen takes rook on D5 the rook on D1 is pinned because of rook c1 checkmate. In this position, black would have a material advantage.
