Ivanchuk vs. Kramnik: sudden death blitz was something else

A great blitz game with very creative play by both players, but especially Ivanchuk. With commentary of Daniel King.

[@Ronbo710]

GM Ivanchuk win *OR* lose is still more exciting than most . My Favorite player no matter what :) !!!!!

Blitz in such a high level with no increment is ridiculous.

[@Roflcopter4b]

They never played with increment then. It didn't exist.

This was well said by Daniel King. For some the chess is a sport for another its an art :)

I know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tricks you can give me!

@Lawrence Kieran instablaster :)

[@lawrencekieran3297]

@Willie Hayes I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@lawrencekieran3297]

@Willie Hayes it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D

[@williehayes8584]

@Lawrence Kieran glad I could help :)

Sportsmanship of vassily is too good !

[@johntoth9150]

Ivanchuck beat carlsen twenty years later. Which says a little bit about this mastermind. Carlsen fled, jumped into an elevator and gave no interviews. ;-)

Thanks for sharing this, love these old vids. Brilliant play by Ivanchuk and an equally solid defense by Kramnik.

[@snorribjarnason8408]

That feeling when you're knight slips and time runs out

[@Dazzwidd]

Impressive battle!

[@tennesse]

Nice combination

[@Chess_with_Debilych]

Now it's Kramnik's turn since his flags are constantly falling in TTs. Life is brutal.

[@sabitkanca4607]

kramnik was looking like anton sugar

[@leo-ff95]

Are these games with no time increment still being played?

[@leo-ff95]

+ardweaden thanx buddy 👍

[@gtDan391]

Armageddon games are still used in almost all super tournaments to decide the winner if the round robin points and rapid and blitz playoffs are tied. The latest one tha I know of is Carlsen winning the 2015 Grenke Classic in an armageddon game against Naiditsch (6 min for Carlsen, 5 min for Naiditsch with draw odds, so excactly the same as in this video).

[@nicolasskettos]

I played an Armageddon game 2 years ago, 5 minutes against 4 because I was equal in all tie-break criteria with my opponent...

[@HritikRoshan-uk5py]

In which year it was played and which tournament?

[@krismuller631]

The answers are on 0:51

[@tennesse]

Era el mejor momento de Kramnik y pronto venceria al mismísimo Kasparov para ser campeón del mundo

[@muhamadirhamfaturahman8187]

lucky kramnik

[@ruchirdeshpande]

Now a days a6 is normal

[@LetoAtreides82]

20...Bf5 was a blunder that loses a piece. Better would have been 20...Bg5 or 20...Bxf3. After the 20...Bf5 blunder Ivanchuk missed 21.Bd5 attacking rook and knight winning the knight.

[@jivejudd1023]

How tall is Kramnik??

[@ricardovelasco3976]

6'5" I believe.

[@dougholtby3035]

2 5 min. games would be better.......the white has to win idea is strange...
