Featured is the chess game between Alexei Shirov and Garry Kasparov from the 1997 Linares chess tournament. Kasparov opts for an Anti-English Attack out of the Sicilian Najdorf. Once Kasparov is in possession of an unopposed light-squared bishop, notice how he continually creates light-square weaknesses in Shirov’s camp. Interestingly, Kasparov’s play in the opening and middlegame on the light-squares finishes in the endgame with a tactical strike on the dark squares!

While Magnus’ genius is awe inspiring there is something about Garry. I love his tenacity and his will to fight until the bitter end. Thank you Jerry

@ParkerBG 5 месяцев назад

But Magnus is also 11:20 especially known for fighting til “the bitter end.” He’ll refuse to accept a draw because he’s willing to spend hours grinding out the slightest advantage in the most seemingly balanced endgame positions.

@Gus-r9j 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for this gem, Jerry. I hadn't caught this game previously. FWIW, I think it demonstrates a level of positional mastery which Kasparov hadn't achieved during his earlier career? … leading up to his first World Championship anyway. And I love the fact that he, like Anand and a handful of other highest category players, continued to remain active long after they'd reached god-level.

@uniktbrukernavn 11 месяцев назад

18:08 Nice little bishop detail by Kasparov. I would've put the bishop on g7 without giving it much thought.

@MoonBurn13 11 месяцев назад

Kasparov’s securing of a steady win with such a well worn opening was impressive. I think it was his antistrategical use of his Kingside Pawns so early on, and his ignoring of White’s centralized (but stranded) Knight, as you pointed out, Jerry, that helped do the trick.

Jerry, in the opening when white played Be3 and you said it was the English attack, perhaps explain what its long term intent is. That would be most useful.

16:39 I thought the idea was f4 followed by Bh4+ if the pawn captured to move the king away from the bishop.

@liamkiney4124 11 месяцев назад

Alexei Shirov, a fine player without a shadow of a doubt. But considering the head-to-head record between these two, if Kasparov was truly "schooling" his opponent, then the curriculum needs to be seriously scrutinised.

@samuelshelver4064 11 месяцев назад

At 2:33, couldn't white safely capture with the pawn, because black's capture of the bishop with the pawn would open the A file and drop the rook?

@thomasfrazier4034 11 месяцев назад

The rook doesn't drop, it's protected by the bishop on g7.

@anttuber 11 месяцев назад

It would have been funny if both players didn’t like starting positions and purposefully caused a draw by three fold repetition and started a new game with a different starting position!

@ghost79ish 11 месяцев назад

I haven't finished the video yet. I'm curious about 13... Qb6. I've looked at a few lines, is that not at least winning a pawn? I'm sure I'm wrong, but it seems like it would be winning White's b pawn and I don't see any compensation. If anyone cares to clear that up for me, that would be cool. Anyway back to the video.

@ghostAFsky 11 месяцев назад

Hmm, well after Nce2 the pawn is indeed hanging, but the b7 pawn will also be hanging after Rb1. Edit: Actually, I think the real threat is Bf2 with Nd5 followup!
