In London, twenty years ago day for day, a match that changed chess history began. On October 9th, at 4pm, watch on our channel the first of a series of shows where the 14th classical World Champion Vladimir Kramnik will talk freely about chess in the 90's, its intrigues and rivalries, but also about his own trajectory up to the match against the invincible Garry Kasparov and his preparation for that match of 2000. World Champion analysis awaits you there, a lot of anecdotes, and more...
00:00 - Introduction
01:00 - Necessary improvements on game six
01:05 - I asked a friend to look at variations from game six with a strong computer
12:03 - What was Kramnik's main mistake?
12:07 - I made a lot of big mistakes during the sixth hour
13:20 - At some stage I disconnected... On that point I hadn't worked enough!
16:30 - Game ten
20:20 - I looked at the statistics
21:23 - I found an old file of Borya Gelfand, where he superficially recommends Qb3...
25:20 - When you understand your opponent is in his preparation and you're not, you want to play more solidly
26:40 - Kasparov said he saw the correct move Rc7
33:05 - After fxe6 he is worse but... he doesn't play against the computer!
33:38 - Kasparov wasn't lucky in this game!
34:45 - A move from the serial "You guessed all the letters, but not the word"
37:40 - I won against Kasparov in 25 moves a most important game, without doing anything particular!
44:50 - I had terrible games too in World Championship matches. They can happen to anyone from time to time
47:05 - Fischer explained to Spassky that Kasparov gave away the match to Kramnik
49:55 - I was great. I was lying and smiling like an idiot
51:00 - I started to realize that not winning this match would be terrible
52:10 - Kasparov understood that the match was gone, so it was time to play chess!
53:30 - Game eleven
54:45 - I understood: Kasparov was going to play this game as if it were the last
one!
56:05 - We looked at this game very deeply, and understood it held!
1:00:00 - White has a plan, he can't quite implement it... and black defends against everything!
1:08:48 - After the match he said he had a forced win
1:09:10 - Game twelve
1:09:58 - I didn't want to draw cynically! I decided to play normally
1:18:20 - All the pieces stand where they should, and just like that the mating attack begins. But I couldn't find it...
1:23:50 - It came close to being an evergreen! But it wasn't meant to be
1:24:10 - I was surprised that white has problems immediately!
1:30:40 - I had three minutes and a half, Kasparov had seven
1:31:55 - He started to collapse, shook his head and couldn't make a move
1:33:19 - I don't think that Na4 was a mistake, he on purpose made a draw
1:36:38 - Once more I worried... it could have been worse!
1:38:56 - The toughest moment for a second is when he understands that the outcome of a game can be decided by his work
1:40:55 - When you play you have physiological needs!
1:42:40 - Game twelve
1:45:20 - Kasparov started thinking, but on that day he couldn't think
1:48:35 - Kasparov offered a draw
1:53:30 - The pressure was sky-high. I counted days to the end
1:55:15 - Game fourteen
1:55:27 - I believe that deep inside he was at peace with losing the match
1:58:15 - Kasparov made a move we didn't expect
2:05:50 - "Bottom spin" pawn sacrifice
2:12:04 - Visibly I erred a bit, but he didn't notice I did
2:19:57 - "I don't know" he was off!
2:21:30 - Discussion after the game. He had no energy anymore
2:21:55 - What happened with Kasparov
2:27:50 - Game fifteen
2:28:07 - And with white he still had to win... He looked for a fight
2:30:05 - You want to play somewhat more simply, more solidly. That's a mistake
2:34:30 - The only moment where Kasparov could have had an advantage
2:40:15 - Once more everything held move for move! It holds everywhere
2:42:55 - And here Kasparov, without playing, offered a draw
2:43:50 - First memories right after the game
2:48:35 - How the match influenced the chess world
2:53:10 - Becoming the World Champion
2:53:30 - How this match changed the way people prepare
3:03:40 - Did Kasparov congratulate you?
