A Thriller!!! (Anand Vs Kasparov - 1996 Blitz Chess Final)

I like how the commentators call Kasparov's ill-fated move an 'elementary oversight'. Never mind that neither of them saw the move until after Anand made it.

+Randy Bailin well ya but even for an unskilled player it's mostly obvious that you should sacrifice your "weaker" pieces before moving in with heavy stuff ^^

[@manneredmonkey]

+cccpredarmy this is the most inane thing i've ever read.

[@alienweirdo8337]

+Randy Bailin Well if human chess players saw each opponent's move they'd be as good as a computer, hm? ;) The key here is that Anand had his previous chess game fresh in his mind, while computers clear their mind between each game, so you can't trick them. But Anand knew he was playing a mere human. With the same opening, he had touched on this alternative move in the previous game and had had time to reflect. While the commentators and Kasparov also recognized the opening, they did not have the alternative fresh in mind as had Anand. This is the brilliance of the trick! Anand had earned himself an advantage unavailable to others. Another reason why the mistake may be deemed elementary (by Brit commentators who get their sarcasm by their mother's milk it seems :D) is that queen takes without exchanges comes few and far between in chess, and in major tournaments all the more rarely. They could also have judged solely by Kasparov's reaction, he certainly deemed it an elementary oversight. But he was predispositioned toward how the previous game played out. He just didn't have access to the alternative moves in Anand's mind. Just brilliant! :)

[@hareeshkk]

OK, so my comment had a thought in it, so it was TLDR. Sometimes the truth is TLDR.

And he is the only Indian who was world champion in chess. He influenced a whole country to take chess as a carrier option not just as a hobby.

[@dsrguru]

Both Bannerjee and Sultan Khan were among the strongest players in the world in the mid 19th and early to mid 20th centuries, respectively, but chess seems to have declined in popularity in the second half of the 20th century until Anand repopularized it.

The announcer very clearly says "Qxg4!" There's only one Qxg4 in the game so I am not sure why you find it so hard to figure out what move it is. The camera work is great imo. It totally captures Kasparov's miscalculation. He seems to be expecting white to trade Queens after QxB so he can pile up on c2 after NxQ but he overlooks the open diagonal for white's queen after Qxg4.

[@pvmantra]

The commentators didn't give Anand the right credit he deserved for this. It was really Anand's superiority which showed Kasparov's blunder to Kasparov and the world. Kasparov didn't realize his mistake until Anand's hand went on that Pawn to gesture that he was going to pick it up - and play that QxP move - while Kasparov was expecting him do QxQ. If really Kasparov was that swift in his calculations, he would have sensed his blunder right away and not after Anand's hand went for the move. Anand is way superior at this specific sequence of moves.

[@AmsaAce]

After the blunder, losing the rook on c8 is not the main concern here since Anand does not have any significant moves after that. The main issue is Anand capturing the bishop on g7 then attacking the h8 rook which Kasparov has to save. Anand can then sacrifice the knight on d3 to take e5 pawn completely opening the black king's defence and it will be a beat down after that...

[@AncientChess]

Thanks for recapping that crucial move at the end of the video -- I was going crazy not knowing what Kasparov's big reaction was about! It really was a good one, and with 3 pieces unexpectedly under attack, I'd say it was appropriate.

[@LFSPharaoh]

5:05 lmfao I do that same thing right after moving a piece and realizing "oh no... oooaahhh shiiiiit, he's totally gonna see that"

[@yashparmar87]

I didn't know who won until I saw Anand receiving the award

[@avijit3001]

Thank u for the video. Pls show the board always when u r showing a chess game. The aura generated in the video was nothing less than WWF!

[@simonenoli4418]

doesn't anybody notice this is the original video from 1996? :/

[@avijit3001]

HA HA Still a board with moves could have been embedded. I am not crticising. This is a problem I face in many chess videos. The enthusiastic persons who post these videos may think about this :)

[@prajwalpawar3103]

5:09 look at Anand saying yeah baby with his hands rubbed.

[@Bertskees1]

Love the commentary!

[@olearnejakobsensteen9526]

possible to see the board instead of side camera?????

[@sameerplaynicals8790]

Yeah didn't u see?

[@Rio-kb9qe]

[@dan7291able]

KASPAROVS EYES AT 5:05 LMAO! oh my god that was too good

[@Dr.physioAli]

Anand👏👏

[@reemabhamare3123]

Hey Anand is my friend he come to my home

[@perpetualgaming8567]

@mabok Lem What?

[@shivangi3219]

Time and time I come back here and watch ths video to see Gary Kasparov reaction when he realised he blunder the Queen.

[@mandarpatil651]

Nobody noticed the rollling of anand's hands... at 5:09 . He be like ..... Now it's my turn to roll roll the game

[@uday6485]

Anand's key expressions and eye movement while speaking never changed for his entire career

[@rishisharma4814]

It's the match of accuracy vs speed...here kasparov is speed and anand is accuracy....undoubtedly kasparov is almost a nemesis for GM's.

[@bihartiger8940]

Every time i come here.. It's much entertaining

[@AbhijitPattanayak]

Just moments before, at 4:43 Commentators - "Anand completely collapsed in this game" ROFL

[@rahulkaap]

Like how Anand rubs it in by holding his hand over the piece for a while before actually making the move!

[@vivs005]

Long live Russia-India friendship!

[@aalokjoshi6839]

for sure dude!

[@adiaswal5940]

Anand and Kasparov were anything but friends and Kasparov isn't even a russian anymore lol

[@oasis7256]

Here chess game is happening

[@Buffering...]

THEY ARE FRIENDS? *I DIDN'T KNOW THAT*

[@ltschriscrucker]

@@adiaswal5940 Most of the Russians hate Kasparov due to his anti-Russian political views and sponsoring. In addition, this was 1996 - a time when drunk Yeltsin sold away the country to the America and ran it into poverty, and Kasparov totally supported him. Hence, I would say that most of the Russians were really happy to see Kasparov lose.

[@MrNuggin]

Actually Kasparov at 0:40 touched Bishop and moved the Knight :)

[@Vahe345]

Its called adjust. When I played tournaments as long as you say adjust you can touch any piece to centre it. They could have some different rules and do it without saying it.

[@chitreshbhatt4512]

Vahe345 I do not think so. This is rapid, you got to play the piece you touch. It was probably just ignored by Vishy.

[@Vahe345]

Ya it doesn't matter if its rapid blitz or classical game its always touch move in tournaments but u see before he touched that piece it got accidently moved out of position when he was moving his other piece back. He was just correcting the position of the pieces that were knocked out of position by his hand making another move. His intention is clear by his body language and he only touched the pieces knocked out of the way. Its clear there was no intention to move those pieces. In my times playing tournaments a while ago we used to always say "adjust" before touching any piece that we are not moving. I'm pretty sure in high level competitions they don't say that unless its a very questionable touch like not after a piece was almost knocked over because i have never seen pros say adjust when they adjust their pieces. It happens all the time when people adjust their pieces.

[@chitreshbhatt4512]

Vahe345 I see. To what level have you played?

[@Vahe345]

Just provincial tournaments when i was a child. But i'm planing on playing again in tourneys in 2018.

[@myst3ry_g3n3ral]

That was the quickest resignation I´ve ever seen.

[@zachhaywood1564]

I have no idea why, but I constantly find myself coming back to this video. And it's not solely because of Kasparov's reaction.
