Incredible scandal during the Karpov-Kasparov game of 1993! Vladimir Kramnik shares an anecdote 

Thank you for the subtitles!

Ame la historia.

un desastre el árbitro, lejos de un momento así

Linares was the biggest super tournament of the year for a long time. How difficult is it to understand that each player must have one extra queen besides the board in case they promote? Or it was too expensive for them to provide two extra queens for each board?

Kasparov told the same anecdote in his book "How Life Imitates Chess" (amongst other places, I guess), but he didn't mention the additional twist that "Queen" sounds similar to the russian word for knight

It would be nice to have the actual position showing rather than a game of Carlsen's.

Kasparov one of the best champions of all time, would have beaten him, and Karpov who once held a 5-0 lead over Kasparov in WCC Match before poltics funny business started would have crushed him in this match. Karpov accumulate +0.05 on every move, after 40 moved Carlssen was lost. Anyone who could get a 5-0 over Kasparov in a WCC Match ncould have beaten anyone in the world Check out his performance in 94 Linares, the strongest Tournament in the world to this day. Karpov play like Stockfish 14 over 25 years ago. 2985 with 25 years of ratings inflation, would be 3300. ------------- The next major meeting of Kasparov and Karpov was the 1994 Linares chess tournament. The field, in eventual finishing order, was Karpov, Kasparov, Shirov, Bareev, Kramnik, Lautier, Anand, Kamsky, Topalov, Ivanchuk, Gelfand, Illescas, Judit Polgár, and Beliavsky; with an average Elo rating of 2685, the highest ever at that time. Impressed by the strength of the tournament, Kasparov had said several days before the tournament that the winner could rightly be called the world champion of tournaments. Perhaps spurred on by this comment, Karpov played the best tournament of his life. He was undefeated and earned 11 points out of 13 (the best world-class tournament winning percentage since Alekhine won San Remo in 1930), finishing 2½ points ahead of second-place Kasparov and Shirov. Many of his wins were spectacular (in particular, his win over Topalov is considered possibly the finest of his career). This performance against the best players in the world put his Elo rating tournament performance at 2985, the highest performance rating of any player in history Chess statistician Jeff Sonas considers Karpov's Linares performance the best tournament result in history. Forget to add, How many World Champions/Challengers in above list at Linares from any Org. ( Fide, GMA, etc) was beaten to get 11/13? I let you count them all. ;-) And if you count Polgar, that is even one more WC as a woman. Karpovs Linares feat will never be duplicated again. 11/13 is insane with the players that he faced there. Karpov truly was Stockfish 14 even 25 years ahead of time in 1994!

Hahaha 😁

I remember Anand lost a clearly won game against Dreev on time because he tried to promote his pawn instead of playing something random 🤣

Весь Анатолий Евгеньевич в этом эпизоде. Не смекалка, а хитрожопость
