Anand vs Smirin | Why did Viswanathan Anand take so much time on the 4th move in this blitz game?

[@prashantdhiru]

Anand looking for all the possible scenarios in multiverse 😂😂😂

[@TheOpposition]

Always a fun to hear those commentators changing tune 😀

[@ramansv3681]

Ofcourse they have to tell what is happening. When Vishy spent so much time on his initial moves, everyone will be surprised.

[@deepaknairneo]

The commentary is more fun to hear than the actual game itself. They think they know more than rapid chess king Vishy....

[@ayushranjan5145]

1:45 the commentary was really good

[@rahullaldinani]

Commentators: Anand is doing wrong! Anand: Hold my 1:43 seconds. Smirin: Yess Sir!

I love this kind of older footage. Thanks for sharing!

6:21 Maurice Ashley commentating without engine's help is so funny sacrificed the queen lol

[@fatinahmed5406]

Lmao nah u can instantly see that taking the queen would be mate in 1, the commentators seemed clueless

[@ChessWizard-cn8kk]

@@fatinahmed5406 they are both strong gms at the time

[@NeoNikosis]

Anand: it's my turn?

Vishy what a Genius🔥

Smirin was great around 2002. Beat everybody and won all tournaments!

Here he lost

Anand Sir is King

[@patrckhh20]

He forgot it was his turn. You can't tell in this video because the board is blocking it, but at 2:28 he looks at his time and then immediately moves.

[@Dev-rc7sd]

Trust me at the level where they were , there is no chance of something like that happening.

[@patrckhh20]

@@Dev-rc7sd One could also say that at the level where they were, there is no chance of taking 1 minute and 43 seconds on the 4th move of a blitz game. But it happened.

[@Dev-rc7sd]

@@patrckhh20 Trust me at the level they were , players even take 40-50 minutes on a move . In blitz or classical , spending time to remember the lines of the opening isn't anything new.

[@AviatorShashank]

The commentators wouldn't definitely know, what was the grandmaster Anand thinking during his fourth move. Due to his lack of skills.

[@pawanagarwal2948]

why smirin can't moved the f pawn to f3 to threatened the bishop

[@artadray]

Because then the dark square bishop of white is unprotected

[@AM_-wg1hj]

Because Anand would just go Kh8, if Smirin takes the bishop on e4 then Anand takes his bishop on e3

[@Narwal88]

It's obvious that Anand wasn't going through any lines. He was sending Smyrin a message: we've been lollygagging and toying around for a few games, but you're nowhere near my level. And I'm going to show you. Proof? Once he starts playing, Anand is a ROCKET and annihilates Smyrin with rapid moves, sacrifices, vicious attacks, and vise-like positions.

So many “blunders”

[@StalkingPeopleHmm]

I mean ofcourse, the generation is different, with less computer lines

Vishy = god of chess
