13-year-old Garry Kasparov smashes the Sämisch - Tbilisi 1976

How did the mind of 13-year-old Garry Kasparov work over the chessboard? The future world chess champion was certainly dynamic in this featured game against Smbat Lputian from the Caucasus Youth Games of 1976, held in Tbilisi, Georgia. Kasparov, playing the King's Indian Defense, faced the Sämisch variation where Lputian prioritized queenside play over kingside deployment. Once lines were pried open, a must know thematic sacrifice followed which could only have been played confidently after having calculated both deeply and accurately.

[@rickdynes]

ChessNetwork TY Jerry😊

[@richardfredlund3802]

that's nice a whole Kasparov playlist.

[@loveless8241]

I hope you won't disappear for another month after this burst of uploads, Jerry. :)

[@dannygjk]

That's what happens when you go on a bender.

[@matthaeus7762]

Thanks for these regular uploads 👍

[@W4rfire]

thats so insane. How are those players capable of keeping track with all that complex and contraintuitive moves. Huge respect!

[@mrfish270]

You are a fine chess teacher, Jerry, and an inspiration for generosity. Thank you.

[@perchix5252]

Love these frequent uploads!

[@russellfroggatt]

We need to go deeper... what a tactical monster. Amazing game even for a top GM and this was at 13.

[@mradeelmalik]

Great selection of game as always. Kasparov a positional beast. Amazing

[@BauKim]

I love your explanations of the lines. Clean and clear! Thank you so much!

[@kutlokebaikanye6872]

A brilliant game by the young Kasparov.

[@MrSupernova111]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful game by young Kasparov! Cheers!

[@robertehrenworth3310]

Excellent discussion of move order in various tactical finesses

[@asiderealday]

i appreciate your clear and direct presentation, huge fan of your vids

[@safaria12]

As always - thanks Jerry. Really great commentary - the 30+ years of playing chess paid off. Some of those moves by Garry caught me by surprise. Not something I see too much these days with so many players playing more on memory than on the pieces in front of them.

[@marclenv.6962]

we miss the old gm and standard games pls keep them coming thanks!

[@EnbyLeaves247]

Jerry has blessed us with another one of his analysis videos. Keep them coming! :)

[@openclassics]

Clear! No questions remain. Perfect study! THXAL from Cologne Germany!

[@robertcooper1952]

Great video. Thanks, Jerry. You have a very soothing voice.

[@johnfgibson17]

Whoa, so many great tactics in this game. Thank you, Jerry! BTW, I've been working through your standard games and trying to understand your own thought process. I feel like you think mostly positionally but have a pretty finely tuned sense of when to stop and calculate tactics. This game seems like Kasparov is thinking ahead tactically all the time. In any case, what you do here with these videos is incredibly valuable. Many thanks.

[@tommy.tomato]

Love the analysis of classic games. Thanks a lot Jerry :)

[@looinrims]

Man I saw the notification for this 12 hours ago at work and I’ve been waiting all day

[@anuj_upreti]

Keep them coming jerry.

[@ashoksafaya5397]

[@parkerscanlon6784]

Final bishop move is excellent, thanks for the upload Jerry

[@fhudge4068]

the fucking intro screen with the sound!! Like booting up nintendo 64. This channel has got me hooked.

[@mastrake]

Thanks - that was a great video!

[@IamThomassive]

So instructive, great video Jerry

[@TotalStoicism]

Whoah loving these!

[@selfoe]

Final move looked like a puzzle move!...that I'd fail...thanks for the upload.

[@jarituomainen1723]

A beautiful game. One of the best in my opinion !!

[@draconic_slayer]

Stellar analysis Jerry, certainly taught me some great lessons in the king's indian and about maintaining tension, liked!

[@Bella1899]

Weird, once again I did not receive a notification after what appears KZbin having deactivated the bell on this channel for me...this has happened to me with other channels too, recently.

[@ChessNetwork]

Hmmm. :( I don't know why that would be happening.

[@TotalStoicism]

Me neither. It's unfortunate, hopefully they fix that.

[@Bella1899]

@@ChessNetwork Guess I and other users will just have to work around that, keep up the content, really enjoying it.

[@knight2386]

So glad you're back Jerry!

[@Artqrc]

Hi from Russia, Jerry ! Like your style of review - slow and deep and easy for understading! Keep going and good luck!

[@michaeledery356]

Oh, finally a Garry Kasparov game!

[@TWPO]

Awesome game, very sharp. Thanks, chess-meister Jerry

[@ryaghnaramansanthosh3140]

Kasparov's every move is with a tempo.

[@ericshuff3152]

Wow. Such a good game. So many great moves by Kasparov. Learned a lot

[@deniskrivchenkov9042]

There is so much chess wisdom in your vids

[@robertehrenworth3310]

Great game; great analysis. Bravo.

[@gsp_admirador]

Thanks, very instructive.

[@pbezunartea]

Great video!

[@dougjennings]

Hi Jerry, great video as always

[@AbrEvig]

Great game. Excellent analysis! Thank you very much!

[@HomoLudenzz]

Personally, I find games, played by humans, much more enjoyable to watch. Thank you for your explanation of what's going on; certainly helps to fully appreciate the beauty of this game.

[@KF1]

Great video, Mr Jerry.

[@XxxcloackndaggerxxX]

Very nice analysis

[@ashharkausar413]

This game is a work of art.

[@johnmudrak2665]

Excellent study game, thanks

[@blahsomethingclever]

Wow these old pre computer games are so different than today's games. Easier to understand, more human. Post more please!!

[@dannygjk]

Check the accuracy of today's top GM games vs the Kasparov games when he was in his prime. btw did you notice that GK was only 13 in this game?

[@thebigkachow3754]

YES JERRY I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️

[@noahland5580]

JERRY IS BACK BABY!

[@Narrowcros]

Kasparov was a tactical machine in his hey day, played almost like an engine.

[@fienddube]

Your videos are so awesome man. Stay with us.

[@ChessNetwork]

Thanks Shawn.

[@denisdemonte15]

that bishop c6 move is sweet!

[@ignantxxxninja]

Jerry please do more commentaries.. it doesn't have to be top level chess because your analysis is why I watch

[@richardfredlund3802]

I like how castles covers both threats ... I've considered before looking for positions where there are two threats, but haven't really thought about, moves that counter two threats --- like the castle move in this game, covering kingside and also N on c1

[@Jansher01]

Thank you sir

[@threethrushes]

MatoJelic, Agadmator, Shaxmati dlia vsekh, GingerGM, and John Bartholomew are colossal titans dominating 64-squares, but Jerry is the King.

[@4bit4u27]

We love you Jerry keep it up!

[@richardfredlund3802]

like.... then watch the video... yeah that confident :)

[@sofialexrush5646]

Thank you Jerry just so great . what can I do to remember all those perfect moves when I play ? when I play I feel as I see the board for the first time in my life and get so intense and complex , but I won't stop watching cause I get exited just in understanding thanks again.

[@Zanamo]

Tbilisi? That's great, another great way to appear in history

[@ogug3395]

You are much much better than the others! Just keep going and you will be number one again! More leela chess please you are great with that

[@yoichihiruma4291]

Very instructive

[@alexanderharveyconrad2409]

More analysis yay!😀

[@MidnightSun009]

Brilliant play

[@ToddWrightthedrummer]

I get lost after 3 moves if there are more than a few pieces on the board, but that's 2 more moves than I could calc as a true beginner. I saw Garry explaining 7 moves in advance with most variations he found over the board. An amazing mind for certain.

[@ubermenschchan7671]

i love the new intro logo

[@dascher6769]

Just awesome

[@drob9673]

Jerry is back!

[@yang9935]

beautiful.

[@roninreturns]

Brilliance!

[@matrix31003]

Do you use lichess as your interface when you are analyzing games? I've never seen these pieces on lichess. The computer analysis looks like lichess

[@unitus.]

Oh, how I've missed you Jerry

[@pantsik2]

There is no better chess analyzer around than Jerry.

[@wecomeinpeace5082]

We are all a little bit better after this.

[@xSpartinox]

so good

[@billybob7392]

Referring to your question on bishop to f2 .. sorry I could not edit only reply to own comment.

[@SeanTehUrg]

Chess is love chess is life

[@vijaynmane]

Kasparov was a beast at 13 !!
