Excellent defense by Petrosian. In classical games Garry Kasparov tied Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian 2 to 2, with 1 draw, but notably Kasparov never played black against Petrosian! Petrosian's draw and two wins were all made playing the black pieces.

[@jeremyhulbert3343]

Playing the Petrosian variation against Petrosian.......someone didn't understand where the line is between bravery and foolishness.

[@salmarwow]

One can go out, search youtube and find numerous examples where Najdorf lost playing Najdorf variation with black pieces. If you invented some variation, it doesn't mean you now are going to win everything with that line.

[@bradc3402]

MOXIE! It was that sort of spirit that would eventually bring Kasparov a LONG REIGN as world champ!

[@samvelrubenian3184]

Petrosian was born and grew up in Tbilisi, Georgia. He came from a very poor Armenian family. My paternal grandmother was also from Tbilisi. She gave Petrosian private lessons of Russian to improve his Russian. Petrosian's dad Vardan and my great grandpa were friends. My great grandpa Samvel was a photographer, Vardan was a janitor at a local Armenian school. My dad says that in 1963, when Petrosian became the world champ, he told his grandpa Samvel about it who started crying when he heard that and said - if only Vardan were alive to see what his boy achieved.

[@petarfenerdjiev7042]

Think Vartan is correct.

[@dineshssairam]

"Some consider that when I play I am excessively cautious, but it seems to me that the question may be a different one. I try to avoid chance. Those who rely on chance should play cards or roulette. Chess is something quite different." - Tigran Petrosian.

For sure. When Kasparov sacked the bishop, I assumed it was game over. But some of the greatest attacking players could never score a spectacular tactical win over Petrosian. One of the greatest defensive players of all time, if not thee..

Wow, two Soviet Armenian champions at it. It cant get better than that! it’s truly amazing how good Armenians are at chess, but then again what do expect from the ONLY nation in the world that has made Chess MANDATORY in the curriculum of students. They will not only be great chess players as you must learn chess while you still young, but that sort of analytical & strategic mindset will help them immensely in life. More nations should make chess part of education. Please put more Petrosian videos up & thank you!

Take this as a humble suggestion for improving your channel. Amazing work! Best!

[@alexfloyd5730]

@15:02 Why did Petrosian just give up his bishop when it seems like he could have safely retreat with Bd7? Was he just trying to bait Kasparov into taking it? If Kasparov didn't blunder he would have just lost the bishop after Qg8+ Qf8 Qxf8 Kxf8 Rxa4

[@ederfonseca9609]

Because taking the bishop was a blunder from Kasparov, and that costed him the game. Petrosian set a trap.

[@pranavkarve2494]

At 3:12, isn't f5 stronger? Cuz you're opening up your rook and getting some space too. Thoughts?

f5 leaves the e5 square unproctected, which would become an excellent outpost for the white knight
