When this game was played, I was in the press room, together with GM David Bronstein. After Black played ... Qd6, Bronstein IMMEDIATELY said: 'If Kasparov doesn't take the pawn on d4 with his Rook, he shouldn't be playing chess at all!' I asked David if this should not be calculated, he anwsered that such an opportunity should be taken correct or not! After a long think Kasparov indeed played the move. David Bronstein smiled and said: 'Why waste so much time on this so obvious move!'

[@AnandSivaram22]

Wow that's a beautiful anecdote!

[@dickmacgurn590]

Obvious only to a super genius. It's hard to imagine that Kasparov saw the win 10 moves deep but then again he is the GOAT ❤

[@davidgdgdg]

Wonderful

[@ryan0789m]

It's hard to comprehend how Garry or any other GM can come up with these moves. Also how they can play out so many moves and possibilities in their head is mind boggling. Great analysis Mr. King!

[@curiouschesschannel6514]

Practice, practice, and practice. Well some other talent also.

[@afei4989]

​@@curiouschesschannel6514 talent first then practice.

[@davidfranklin5426]

Great video from Danny. You neglected, however, to mention the most amazing fact of all: Kasparov claimed (and I have no reason to doubt him) that when he played 24. Rxd4!? he had seen all the way to 36. Bf1!! Absolutely incredible calculation!

[@anthonykernich1035]

players of today care more about preserving rating points and thus play for draws with the boring Berlin, Petroff, QGD and English

[@luckystrke]

This video gave me goosebumps:)

[@myopenmind527]

Probably my favourite Kasparov Game. Great annotations 👍

[@allright12341]

thanks for a great analysis. Your enthusiasm for the brilliance of the game is a great part of this video

[@DirkSchmele]

Thanks for the nice review, Daniel

[@johnnybrew1]

Excellent, as usual - thank you.

[@LarryT88]

A brilliant game by Kasparov and superb analysis by Mr King. It would even better if we can know how black can defend this attach at each stage.

[@PowerPlayChess]

I simply don't have the time to go into all the possible defences. I selected variations in order to highlight the logic of the game continuation or simply because they were beautiful.

[@isavin1730]

wow Kasparov's pieces were at the right place at the right time

[@HunterBelkiran]

absolutely incredible.

[@curiouschesschannel6514]

Leaving out the beginning of this game is almost sacrilegious.

[@parthsharma9852]

Happy Birthday Garry Kasparov.... 36) Bf1!! and 37) Rd7!! are two greatest moves in chess history etched with golden letters!!

[@V8SupersQirreL]

WOW!

[@tennisblood]

immortal game!

[@garysharkey9940]

the best game of chess ever played

[@ChromaticTempest]

Tal or Bronstein may hold that title. They both played many games with amazing sacs.

[@treschocos5529]

please analyse my game

[@coyote000]

Brilliant game, thanks for the analysis.

[@postmasterpez]

Best game ever played!

[@johnwarner3968]

I’ve seen this game analyzed many times and never grow tired of it’s many beautiful multifaceted conceptions!! Thank you, for adding yours. It is one of the greatest games ever played and surely one of Kasparov’s best, if you had to pick just one. True genius.

[@jasondoe2596]

Excellently presented and analysed, as always - and what a beautiful game! Looking forward to your Biel and Olympiad commentary, as well as the upcoming Karpov videos :-D

[@perseus2734]

I never get tired of this game. Truly a masterpiece and an absolute gem of fantastic chess combinations.

[@derUlf42]

Simply gotta love this game, Kasparov is the man!

[@jackkrom]

Master of the unexpected. As Daniel put it, his attack just hangs together, giving the opponent the sense that he was about to consolidate his defense, yet Kasparov always had one move to keep the initiative. Truly great.

[@arvraghu]

Am not sure which is more beautiful, Kasparov's genius or Danny's fantastic analysis of the same. Just loved the part where you dwelled on the Be6 move. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Kenneth-iv8lc]

Kasparov Immortal

[@EDAmirr]

I do envy those who are seeing this game for the first time, i could watch it get analyzed by all the GMs in the world and it will never get redundant, beautiful game!

[@jasondoe2596]

Agreed!

[@justinwr092]

Doesn't get any better than that.

[@DG-ss2zd]

Great to re watch this thanks

[@mamago92]

He changed his move against Judit Polgár in 1994 after momentarily letting go of a piece. Kasparov went on to win the game. The tournament officials had video records proving that his hand left the piece, but refused to release the evidence. A factor counting against Polgár was that she waited a whole day before complaining, and such claims must be made during the game. The videotape revealed that Kasparov did let go of the piece for one quarter of a second.

[@crazyim5]

Thanks for very good analysis of this famous game! Will you be doing powerplay show in playchess in near future? Where can we get the schedule?

[@PowerPlayChess]

I might try to fit in another Power Play Show on playchess.com over the next couple of weeks.

[@crazyim5]

PowerPlayChess Thanks. I will look forward to it! Hopefully it will be off work hours for fans in California, US

[@colombianchebur]

Гарри Каспаров сгоряча назвал эту партию лучшей в своей карьере!

[@raghuveermukkamalla783]

The greatest game played by the greatest ever player. Have seen this analysis 10+ times and am still in awe. Kasparov is God.

[@zaklaberg]

amazing

[@kungking4309]

Can someone tell me when the next chess tournament is that magnus Carlsen will be in

[@Crazeyfor67]

Excellent! Thanks Daniel

[@nebojsakvrzic3686]

Great video as always

[@BlazeTaktix]

Well done.

[@thaifighter36]

very great

[@sammemo85mohamed74]

Great mind

[@leoblum0631]

Please, don't spend too much time analysing Karpov's games. Although he was of course an eminent player, his style was also quite boring. Besides that, and for you to know: I'm like the rest of your fans, impatiently waiting for another e-mail alert to some new, always pertinent, expert comments on recent or historical games. Thanks for doing all this! We're all most grateful.

[@ChromaticTempest]

Karpov has had several brilliant games. While the man enjoyed his positional squeezes, he also played very, very sharp chess at times, even in the WCC against Kasparov. I think you have vastly misunderstood him. He is no Petrosian.

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

+ChromaticTempest I think you have misunderstood petrosian he has several purely positional squeezes true but he is the legend of the exchange sacrifice and has played his fair share of brilliancies in the Olympiads. He is no Smyslov.

[@AnandSivaram22]

@@Isaiah_McIntosh I think you have misunderstood smyslov even though he died as the second least credited world champion and played boring he used to sac all his pieces and conjure mates out of nowhere, especially in his youth.. He's no capablanca

[@dash_r_media]

@@AnandSivaram22 No less than Bobby Fischer said that Capablanca's tactical vision was the secret behind all of his great masterpieces. I paraphrase, but he said that his play was so super-sharp as to appear to create chances from nothing. He is no Kramnik.

[@dickmacgurn590]

This game is legendary and one of my all time favorites. Carlsen vs Giri queen sack is almost as brilliant ❤
