Man, i dont understand chess at all. 😢 Why did that final move by the bishop make it unwinnable for black? Is it because the white pawn is closer to getting to the other side than the black pawn? And therefore closer to getting queened (or whatever piece)? What did the white bishop have to do with that, except avoid getting taken? Or is that the point? Or am i completely missing the ball here? I am very new at this. 😂

Nakamura will have to give up the bishop for Kasparov's b-pawn to prevent the promotion. So, with an extra bishop, the victory is easy, capturing the black pawns and promoting the other remaining white pawn.

The position is dead lost for Hikaru, so he shook hands with Kasparov, meaning he resigned

[@gastonangelini8352]

Hikaru had to give up his bishop for the passed pawn , so the pawn endgame is completely winning for Garry. When the bishop is out , Kasparov can make waiting moves to get opposition with the black king winning the last 2 pawns of the black kingside and then crown his f-pawn for a nice checkmate. You will need another 50 or 60 moves to end the game , but masters are polite and don't play those losing positions . That is why he is resigning.

Haha, it's Blitz, but there are moments where it feels like they're playing Kriegspiel, practically ignoring each other's moves haha.

[@ismailabdelirada9073]

Actually, I was thinking back to when I played Kriegspiel, and some of the opening formations players would adopt in an effort to probe each other's positions in relative safety. After Kasparov's h4-h5, the position reminded me of some of those formations, although it would have been followed in Kriegspiel by Bg3-h4 and repeated tests to see if Bh4-d8 was possible, with visions of a cheaply won queen dancing in their heads. (These eventually became pretty familiar. In the last game of it I played just before going to Navy boot camp in 1984, I played against the informal San Francisco champion, a banker named George. I'm happy to say I won that game, and when George resigned and I got to view the referee's board (with the complete position), I had correctly identified the locations of all of George's remaining pieces with one exception: The pawn I thought was still on g6 was really on g5. (Fortunately the difference was inconsequential.))

[@ChessPlay64]

@@ismailabdelirada9073 What an interesting story! I thought of moves like h6 (as if he didn't know there was a pawn on g6) and Rb6 as if he didn't know the black king was on f3. Congratulations on your victory against the San Francisco champion-such a memorable achievement!

[@ismailabdelirada9073]

@ChessPlay64 : If he had a pawn on h5, he _would_ know about the pawn on g6. The ref would announce, "White has a try," and he would first check all the other possible pawn captures that might be available to him in order to eliminate other possibilities. Then, with the conviction of certainty, he would place the Black pawn on g6 and proceed accordingly. By such testing, the player can build a reasonably accurate picture of the actual position. It also helps to observe patterns in that opponent's play -- as of course I had with George. (But there is another possible factor. In fifth grade, living in Vermont, I was tested for ESP, along with my schoolmates. The testers, sitting in a separate room, would hold up in random order cards from a special deck marked with circles, squares, triangles, wavy lines or footprints, and the test subject would try to name what shape was on each card. I underwent this test repeatedly, and afterwards I was told that I had consistently been correct 95 percent of the time. I don't know what to make of that, nor have I been re-tested since, but it was interesting.)

@@ashocck8065 In blitz, it's 6 to 6 (Kasparov vs Hikaru) www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?pid=15940&pid2=10084

[@saujurambo]

How did Hikaru lost ?

[@ChessPlay64]

Nakamura will have to give up the bishop for Kasparov's b-pawn to prevent the promotion. So, with an extra bishop, the victory is easy, capturing the black pawns and promoting the other remaining white pawn.

that grabbing of the queen was savage 🤣

Гарик, ты лучший.

[@jjstnwei3147]

After kf3 why didnt Kasparov even bother to defend those two pawns between the king? Was he just being savage here.

[@egor.okhterov]

Because you lose tempo

[@ChessPlay64]

@@egor.okhterov Exactly, it would give Nakamura time to defend himself

👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@tteodoro100]

Does anybody know why Kasparov blocked his bishop by moving the pawn f4? That was a threat to the king.

[@aoznes]

from the beginning of the game there wasn't a single moment where black had chances.

[@ChessPlay64]

you're absolutely right; it seemed like white controlled the game entirely.

[@АлександрПилипенко-о9и]

Наслаждайтесь ребята, играет легенда. Потом будете детям рассказывать "... я видел как играет Каспаров"

[@ChessPlay64]

Вы абсолютно правы, наблюдать за игрой Каспарова - это настоящее удовольствие и привилегия.

[@georgenarushvili9433]

Bravo mr Kasparov❤

[@philcolbert7864]

as so often happens, games are lost in the endgame. Bishops of opposite colors should be a draw until Naka goes Kh5.

[@ChessPlay64]

Exactly, Kh5 was a crucial mistake. Until then, it seemed like the game was heading for a draw.

[@andrewharrison1194]

I would like to say that I was calling (some of) Kasparov's moves several seconds before he made them. But, then, I was only looking at the current move ahead only! :o)

[@ChessPlay64]

That's impressive! The ability to anticipate moves is a valuable skill in chess.

[@silvinho18]

[@ChessPlay64]

Накамуре придется отдать слона за пешку b Каспарова, чтобы предотвратить превращение. Так что с дополнительным слоном победа будет легкой, захват черных пешек и превращение оставшейся белой пешки.

[@zandiskoul]

4:30 bishop H3 instead of D2 looks good to me.

[@ChessPlay64]

I don't understand. At what time in the video? Because the D2 square (in 4:30) is already occupied...

[@CaliSportsman365]

Did Hik resign?

[@hazimimran4788]

yes

[@ChessPlay64]

Yes, the position is lost. He needs to sacrifice the bishop for Kasparov's b pawn.

[@andfurther]

Who win?

[@ChessPlay64]

Kasparov

We can see the difference between a fast chess player and a genius chess player.

[@ChessPlay64]

The genius brings depth and creativity to the game, while the fast player relies on quick calculations.
