Kasparov Chess Challenge

Grand Master Garry Kasparov, world chess champion, plays a Simul game against multiple opponents.
Garry Kasparov, the youngest world chess champion in history at 22 in 1985, Kasparov remained the top-rated player in the world for 20 years, until his retirement in 2005. He then became a leader of the Russian pro-democracy movement against Vladimir Putin and is currently the chairman of the NY-based Human Rights Foundation. The Kasparov Chess Foundation promotes chess in education around the world with centers in the US, Europe, and Africa with more soon to come. Kasparov speaks and writes frequently on technology, decision-making, and risk. His book, "How Life Imitates Chess," has been published in more than 20 languages.

[@kevinmorrice]

"chess champion" is an understatement, he is the greatest living chess player

[@dillonsmith1801]

Liked your comment, but I personally think it's hard to say who the 'greatest' living chess player is.

[@CycloneChess]

@@dillonsmith1801 Its hard? No. Kasp has 15 years in a roll in a champion of chess. He is a greatest living chess player. Magnus was treined by Kasparov, and lost 2 games and draw 1. So...

[@pbswapno4623]

Kasparov reigned for 21+ years and Calrsen has been reigning for 10 years now. This is not even a debate.

[@vuralmecbur9958]

kasparovs english sounds so cool

[@aravindgundakaram1830]

Those people playing the Sicilian against Kasparov tho 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@squiggofant]

So many expensive cars and yet they get a chess clock that garry has to hold on to so it wont fall over.

[@dannyboy12357]

I wish the announcer would shut the up.

[@davidmsirois]

+dannyboy12357 was "the up" open?

[@yodudeguygaming6347]

+David Sirois lol trolling done right

[@One.--]

Yes, my son had an issue trying concentrate with him in the back ground talking, was a distraction the whole time.

[@pauldavis5665]

The kind of guy that loves to hear himself talk meanwhile everyone else in the room wishes they had earplugs.

[@ernestpetu5691]

He has to make his payment worth something.

[@GroundKarate01]

the girl making head moves every time garry makes a move like she understands things (i hate it) and get mated in ~10 moves i lol'd soooo much at this :D

[@FirasTeinz]

loool i was thinking the same it's funny xD

[@Ripix300]

stupid bitch :>D

[@bandaal1]

well, I have seen some people who play chess even without thinking and quickly make moves against very strong chess players which result them in losing.

[@429kostas]

loll silly behavior

[@sleepyeyeguy]

Every time she moves her head I can't help but think, "gobble gobble"

[@anyagatalskaya9260]

Wow Kasparov really likes his Knights standing horizontally :)

[@hikkenwayans]

THANKS for the upload!!!

[@bailinnumberguy]

Usually it takes Garry more time to adjust the pieces at each board before the 1st move than it does to dispose of his opponents.

[@mortgagefinancing5558]

Listening to the announcer talk is like hitting your head against a brick wall..its nice when its stops.

[@mandelbroetchen4790]

Walking around in circles for 30 minutes. Needs endurance.

[@longshotny]

Gray ur an Amazing man‼️ Thanks for so many brilliant attacking games over the years! You deserve nothing but the best continued success 💪🏿💪🏿!

[@geometricart7851]

that guy talked way too much.

[@franciscomarin122]

This is big! Kasparov vs.the players + the noisy guy at micro...

[@PhilgonegetchaSelfConscious]

Kasparov is a very humble man

[@RackwitzG]

16:43 Was Kasparov down a queen? Where is it?

[@bailinnumberguy]

Kasparov's knowledge of the openings is as great as anyone in history. Not that there's doubt in the outcome of any of these games, but he knows instantaneously when his opponent has veered off of theory and how to exploit it.

[@FukPhysics]

this is absolutely incredible.

[@BagaJr]

That announcer was annoying

[@jurebegaming]

5:32 Rip that guy trying to get handshake XD

[@ricardoculebro8601]

+GG Noob did you even see the video

[@ronaldsimanjuntak7908]

+GG Noob lol he's invisible

[@QueenRexy]

I bet everyone who played him thought they'd magically play some genius game and beat Kasparov. It would make for one hell of a story.

[@frog3360]

good lord of puns!

[@johnvonhorn2942]

So basically, I've failed

[@johnvonhorn2942]

Imagine if each of them had a discrete connection to Deeper Blue.

[@Buzzbox3rd]

Well put together , very nice

[@mohammedmmm3070]

Kasparov I love you 🌷❤☺🌹

[@merander9]

Love that comment about the healthcare plan :) Announcer is awesome

[@iamcoffeerepublic]

15:52 Dude didn't even know he's being mated lol. He got straight up kasparoved.

[@loluoresegun5844]

8:35 that lady, in red, with the camera...

[@MarioskyWTF]

would be good to see a 2D diagram of games

[@Arjetube]

lo you can say what you want but kasparow is really an odd guy... perhaps because he is genious i dont know. 8:30 the guy in the blue shirt made his move and instead of looking at the chess board kasparow is staring at him and smiling... for seconds... its hilarious.. I don't know what is going on in his mind xD

[@Schurfable]

haha. yeah, that was a special moment. But I would have taken my time to stare back at the master. Could have been a special moment

[@ImmaterialDigression]

I think he might be looking towards the commentator guy talking in the background but I don't know.

[@EpigeneticAlteration]

I can't stop laughing.

[@noswonky]

I think he was posing for a photo being taken by someone behind the player.

[@LordPrutsikas]

I guess he makes an effort to look into his soul and understand/ appreciate him as a human being. But the other guy sadly refuses to give him any eye contact. It would have been a special moment

[@bostjanmk]

Thank you almir!!!

[@Buzzbox3rd]

if only (still rolling my eyes)

[@MelynDens]

I would like to play a session with such rivals, I think the result will be similar

[@MarioskyWTF]

do they even play? lol

[@Chess_Intelligence]

It's amazing how some players can do this blindfolded.

[@LordPrutsikas]

18:07 Kasparov check mating with style...what a boss

[@seanunderscorepry]

great lighting

[@kevinmaestroful]

beautiful chess set..where can I buy that one?

[@Buzzbox3rd]

Oh I believe you , really , I do.(rolling my eyes)

[@fabioalves4366]

Thank God for the small favors as Stephen King used to say. Turning sound off is a blessing.

[@NandoLeriv]

Awesome!

[@almazonly]

in this game, not Mr. Kasparov's brain, but legs got tired

[@muzo56281721]

Kasparov must have superstitions! - did anyone notice the ritual performed at the initial opening white on each board??

[@kingluke2]

I think it's a grandmaster thing - get the pieces nicely aligned - they all do it.

[@Schutzstafell]

What King said. If you ever watch live blitz or STC games they all center their pieces before black starts the clock.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

Karja and Carlsen did it all the time at their recent WC match. I think it's silly though.

[@joashpaulalbaniel]

Great !!

[@BlitzWizard94]

Rare interesting video

[@coldhell1]

If Kasparov came to your board and play fast , means you are in toruble :D

[@josealejandrotorrejon6586]

i LIKE IT

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Why am I not a better player? I could often predict what move Gary would make.

[@tianpeng3162]

the guy requested a takback during the second one-on-one match agianst K

[@pierregandon8006]

23:15 Garry knows it's over and wants to tidy up the board

[@shallwocharlie]

Nice boards but they were using my middle club pieces.

[@gerotkd]

that kid with the mustache is like saying "look, i am a grown man already" haha

[@betsypizzo3045]

The kids name is Philip he is my son. He knew the errors he made he was distracted by the commentor and the pretentiousness of the overall aura of the room, however Ms.collier was very nice

[@markopokodude]

The boy resigned beforehand by touching the board, I think.

[@Bruno2TheMovie]

He bumped the piece, the boy should know where it should be, and i think in kasparovs mind he just thought: "my turn is over, I should not touch his pieces. if the boy wants to fix it, he will."

[@AnglerSloth]

The Kasparov gaze at 8:31

[@haboab0216]

Kasparov wearing Patek Philippe watch

[@jangofet555]

i wonder if they played with that music instead of the public noise and commentator if they would pay better chess

[@rickystevano]

please show diagram or notation the game when duel

[@Omiros15omi]

why can't the speaker keep it down a little? chess is more enjoyable in silence

[@Game0verFool]

If I were to play Kasparov I don't think I would ever resign because I'd be in a losing position from the start! If I am ever going to resign I may as well resign before the start of the game

[@coin67]

8:25 => Kasparov pawn disappearance technique ^^

[@denismenace8954]

22:50 What a cheat :P Kasparov knocks the rook off and the boy then forgets about its original spot, thinking it's on A1, feel sorry for him.

[@stevesebzda570]

Wtf? This puts a whole new light on Kasparov centering pieces, as if to make it more aesthetic! Didn't touch other players in untimed games! Is this a form of intimidation or impedance to other player? I'd be distracted if someone touched one of my pieces! On my time! How many nanoseconds lost? Just in the impedance? Let alone regrouping, becoming undistracted? It took the kid a little while to move, I recall! I noticed in realtime, veneto (by the way). Some chess trash talk! And more! I hadnt noticed the rook b2, knocked to b1 (22:50). Thnx for pointing it out! It was if he was punishing the boy for having his piece so far off center! Watch las right after move, head down. Then after win. How gracious. Indeed!?

[@iankyoko]

Wow! I'll have to try that.

[@user-oc9fb2jd6k]

Michael Paradise Ha-ha, on Russian it names "naebal" ("наебал") ))).

[@jadarite]

Michael Paradise I don't think it mattered. It actually looks like he was trying to help the kid. If the rook stayed at b1, and he missed Rxb2 (pawn), then it's quite possible he would miss Rxb1(rook!) also. Then what? Rxb1 and the other Rxb1 (the other way just trades off the rooks which is not as bad, but still bad). Black had a bishop on f5 about to take the knight on c2. White would need to bring their bishop on f3 to d1 to protect it, meaning no time to keep rook on b1. He was in a lost position anyway by the looks of it. If you are down you want to keep the better pieces and get your opponent's pawns.

[@stevesebzda570]

jadarite​​​, that's good insite! Thanks! That was 'very' good of you. You gave me insite, that I couldn't see, into this situation. Wow. I couldn't get past the thought, that they could have had a connection. Now I see, thanks to you, 'Kasparov' was just looking at him, that's all. Maybe analyzing the kid, who knows?:-) jadarite, all of the above, I thought it applied to the game, when Kasparov was standing, staring at the player, seated. Analyze that one,(the game), for me. Would ya? 'Pretty please'. Lol! Some of these thoughts, still apply here though. I no longer, think K was being mean. You changed that, me. Thanks again!

[@itlancer]

The elo rating list it's not good today. A 2800 player in 1999 is more strong compared to a 2800 player in 2013 with very few few exceptions. This is because of rating inflation started in the 70's.

[@dekar6279]

Well, as he's been retired since 2005 he cannot be rated anymore. Besides, knowledge is never lost when you're an expert as he is, that's why none of those guys could beat him, I think the only one who can do it nowadays, is Carlsen.

[@IanBillen]

He was rated at 2800 plus in 1999 so... Anyway I have no idea what he is today...was just figuring he probably lost a significant amount since retiring and due to him aging more.

[@IanBillen]

A little sarcastic humor to bring out a point isn't - - "SPAMMING" ..

[@dorianmaclean3784]

didnt know kevin spacey plays chess

[@MrGodofcar]

Kasparov was glad Magnus Carlsen didn't show up.

[@yasernagib2317]

اسطورة

[@Goldname1]

Who are these players? Regular chess club players or masters?

[@bostjanmk]

can anybody tell me what music is this, its beautiful?

[@FrankTic-kx4hm]

15:56 Kasparov gives a sly grin when he notices his opponent didn't stop the checkmate

[@twiceisworst]

lol. I like chess, but I am pretty bad at it. With the amount of time that guy had to stop a mate in 1, I think I could have done better than him!

[@nanowarrior01]

i wish i had started chess sooner, but im not going to give up and someday hope to be better the gary.

[@hazzabazzatunic]

His gift isn't something you acquire. It's something you're born with, unfortunately.

[@nanowarrior01]

your right, true talent is required. Bobby fischer stated that as well. But how to know if you have that talent or not? You can have that talent all your life but now just discovered it.

[@sanitary103]

who's the kid that's playing kasparov at the end? does anyone know his rating?

[@davidcopson5800]

His name is listed on the credits, Pizzo.

[@davids1700]

Will Kasparov compete again?

[@ohhhsexy]

Lady in red

[@Buzzbox3rd]

I have no doubts you could smash him someone told me that youre the best !

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

19:49 Not easy to concentrate when thy can't shut up.

[@joyaldendiaz4229]

kasparov is still the champion

[@mario6279]

at 36:10 kasparov is having a bobby fischer moment it looks like he's talking to himself and rubbing his face back and forth with his hand

[@maschinenmeister]

the one guy looks like daniil dubov

[@mustwatchthis50]

Nobody notices that there's a 28M dollar Mclaren F1 in the room

[@kinggambitabc]

yeah lol, patzer bunker defense

[@Torok.Agoston]

at 26:50 professor Ted Mosby :D

[@chrish12345]

+Ágoston Török he's good :)

[@IStehSHIT]

the music was beautifull for 4 bars, then it failed missorably

[@JeanEtchepare]

the last player made Kasparov very uncomfortable...

[@davidcopson5800]

Kasparov is always a nervous seeming player against someone who can actually play; it's his way. Anand on the other hand is always calm and static.

[@chessfan6684]

Самый молодой неофициальный чемпион Пол Морфи. В 21 лучший в мире.

[@_MaxHeadroom_]

Why does he not have a rolling chair or something for frig sakes

[@IStehSHIT]

hahaha, that was a typo, but good call:)

[@Almthkm]

i will bring with me stockfish 8 with me apple watch

[@miguelmichel68]

what are the levels of the opponents?

[@DampLover]

is his book written in swedish?

[@MrAitraining]

Was top rated player in the world for 20 years. Who is top rated in any sport or game for 20 yrs? Says it all.

[@MrTresto]

You can't in sport because that's only possible in your 20s - after that your physical condition can't keep up. So I'm not sure it would be fair to compare to sports. What other game that isn't physical is as popular as chess? Kasparov is fantastic though - I'm a fan.

[@MrAitraining]

That is true but also how many people in the world play chess? a LOT! Think of all the countries, all the whizzes, grandmasters of all ages and he remained on top for 2 decades. Pretty amazing when you think about it.

[@clarkkent701]

Chess is not the same, because you can still be good enough even if your body is older or weaker. In physical sports the body decline is the problem. Nevertheless a fantastic feat. It's just comparing apples to oranges.

[@olemew]

MrAitraining Says it all about chess, you meant.

[@almirCCR]

[@mortgagefinancing5558]

Did this guy in the end give Gary a hard game ? They looked equal

[@darksideofyoutub]

Mmm i dint see that, thanks.

[@m5rule]

At 22.36 the clock and the game changes. Why?

[@karwan9138]

7:32 dat face lol

[@aaronhowe3725]

Not cheating. The rook's on B1 guarding the b2 pawn to confront the doubled rooks on the b file. But, it is slightly misplaced so I see how you got that impression. Kasparov doesn't need to cheat to win.

[@beefanly4315]

pretty tiring to walk all around.

[@mikeburch3685]

I think that boy should really think about his moves instead of losing in 25 of them.

[@jojo300001]

You last 25 moves against what was the world champion of chess.

[@mikeburch3685]

Hes got all the time in the world why not use this time against "the world champion of chess"

[@dekar6279]

Where did you get that info? It ain't correct.
