[@PrometheanConsulting]

I, too, was a participant. And yes, chess by committee was not so good. I have to disagree with Levy, though. Irina did "bully" some of the play; I remember being passionately opposed to one of the moves; thinking we were missing an opportunity. But it was more a function that she was more invested in the game [and most of her moves were brilliant] and in the community than the other "advisors". In many respects, she was the first Social Media Influencer [Hot Take (tm)]. It was an influential game; and unique. Collaboration/kibitzing can be a very invigorating learning experience.

Sucks that this can’t be done with Magnus because of engines

[@ianmendham6671]

Could it not be done on a smaller scale? Lock a load of GMs in a room with cameras and a projector, watch them arguing about different candidate moves while Magnus sips his water? I’d watch it

Thank you for covering this game, Gotham. I'd heard of it, but had never seen it. It has to go down as a highlight of a now lost era. Fascinating stuff.

Man, you analyze the games like an interesting story, 20-30 minutes analyses without feeling boring is a big thing to me.

This is the first ever video that I watched of this channel. This man right here got me into chess. With this exact video. Life is so great sometimes. Just whoa!

[@nicolamontori]

Man I love how Levy is passionate and enthusiastic about these games, it really makes you appreciate and savour every move. He explains everything in such a beatuiful way that even a noob like me can understand such a high level game. Keep doing what you're doing man, amazing content.

[@ericcantona1587]

awesome review. these kind of videos make me appreciate the game more and more

[@douglaslegvold9215]

I was active for the world during this game. I must point out that at the time Irina Krush was 12 or 13 years old. Her coach at the time was GM Ron Henley. She openly talked of this on the website at the time. Over time Irina became the main influencer for the “world”. So basically this game almost came down to a postal game between Henley and Kasparov. During one move, Henley was preoccupied and couldn’t get a move to Krush in time, she mad a superficial suggestion, which the world followed, which turned out to be a blunder. So the world eventually threw away the draw. I just wanted to make sure GM Ron Henley finally gets his due credit.

[@CalebShimomura]

Irina was absolutely 15 at the time. You can just look that up on wikipedia.

[@clayvision]

What move number was it if you happen to know

[@AMaplestoryFan]

@@clayvision 21:39 queen to d3 or d5 can draw

[@jeremycraft2445]

@Douglas Legvold Your recollection of this game is faulty. Irina was 16. Ron Henley had less importance in the game than you suggest (aside from encouraging Irina to actually suggest her move ...Qe6). The delay in Irina's move suggestion had nothing to do with Henley, but rather was (as Levi stated) due to an email glitch when she sent her email very late at night and went to bed before it was actually sent (outbox lag could easily happen back then). Her 'superficial' suggestion was in fact the better move than the one played (although still ultimately would have lost). And ultimately the deciding factor is the vote stuffing that occurred on move 51. which allowed the inferior move 51...b5 to win over the line 51...Ka1 we had analyzed to a draw!

[@sharpnova2]

you just spouted... so much misinformation that i suspect it was deliberate.

[@sportsjefe]

It's as he stated, it was a public internet forum on MSN responsible for discussing and submitting the moves. Each side was given 24 hours per move. Grandmaster Daniel King, currently running the PowerPlayChess youtube channel, was one of the top level GMs brought in to help the board, and co-wrote (with Kasparov) a book on this game in 2000 called "Kasparov Against the World: The Story of the Greatest Online Challenge".
