Lékó still relevant, enjoying his coverage of the world cup 2023.

@ilet3049 Год назад

watching Kamnik-Leko "live" on the internet back then reignited my interest in chess. I started studying and playing much more online. If someone asks me to name a player, I would always think of Leko first, but out loud I'd name some world champion or whatnot.

@mikechurch6313 5 часов назад

What a superb tribute to Peter. Thank you, Ben

@RaptorsReport Год назад

Love that second game. Great explanation, and incredibly impressive for Leko to find the knight tactic to defeat Kramnik’s preparation.

@sayandas5 Год назад

Leko is almost as much of a positional genius as Karpov. Of course, Karpov in his prime wouldn't let you breathe . While Leko would "cemento" his position and stop all counterplay.

@mmmbellygirls Год назад

That 2nd game is just incredible. Imagine calculating a mating sequence involving sacking both your bishop and your knight that looks like it ends in your opponent having to give up too much material to stop mate, BUT... it's against the best player in the world who just surprised you with a super duper well prepared line in the world championship match. That takes an incredible amount of confidence in yourself to go into. I would have never seen that escape, but even if I did, I still would have just taken that a-pawn right away cuz I would have assumed I'm missing something and I'm gonna get punished for my ambitious mating attack.

@JPCPSeto Год назад

I still can't understand how tiny Ulf Andersson's Wikipedia is compared to others. Of course he wasn't almost world champion like Leko, but he was an elite player in the 70s, 80s and 90s and his article is like a quarter of Leko's.

@homerp.hendelbergenheinzel6649 3 месяца назад

peter is my second favourite chess game commentator, only second to another peter ( svidler xD). he always seems above and beyond the commentators that he is commentating with. anybody with a little bit of chess knowledge appreciates his commentary i think.

@fedkarphitchamer9905 Год назад

Yay! Love Leko. In my opinion he is the best commentator around!

@smerdyakovkb9782 Год назад

Leko: a great player of the past and the #1 GOAT commentator, as we all know!! Big shouts out to Ben for making this video!

@ibazulic Год назад

Great lecture, all three games were really excellent and enjoyable. I never knew Peter Leko was this strong, really a fantastic player.

@kdub1242 Год назад

In complicated openings with lots of branching variations, my own prep rarely goes beyond move 40. That's why I haven't yet cracked the 500 ELO barrier.

@StoshGalumpke Год назад

@JPCPSeto Год назад

The story about Leko's win in the Marshall against Kramnik is that Svidler came up with the idea of sacking the queen and promoting the pawn, but that he didn't really analyse the prep deeply, because there was a big cricket match going on. Svidler just didn't do the work. Talk about priorities.

@12jswilson Год назад

Without fact checking, I think the unification match was Anand v Topalov

@sportsjefe Год назад

It was Kramnik Topalov in 2006.

@@sportsjefe and then Anand v Topalov is the first reunified championship in 2006. That makes sense

@SanyaJuutilainen Год назад

fxg3 threatening mate hxg3 avoiding mate Bxc5 unleashing black's dark bishop on a very nice diagonal to white king, from which the king cannot escape Engine gives 2.8 to black at depth 20 with the best continuation similar to the game - Re4 Bxf2 ; Qxf2 Rxf2; Kxf2 Qh2+

I've seen and commented on this before. Ben looks to me to be on some stimulant, maybe for weight loss and maybe recreationally, but he doesn't hide it well. Shaky voice, lip smacking, licking, overactive tongue, and an obvious absence of his relaxed humorous style. It's a bummer because it affects the quality of the video

@barrystevens-3765 Год назад

@@barrystevens-3765 Ozempic suppresses appetite like stimulants do, but it isn't a stimulant, so I don't think so. But it looks like Ben is losing weight. Good for him!
