It is undeniable that Garry Kasparov is one of the best chess players in the history of the game. In the following chess video excerpt, Grandmaster James Plaskett analyzes a classic Kasparov victory with the black pieces in the King's Indian Defense. Kasparov's opponent in this game is the legendary Alexey Shirov, an extremely dangerous attacking player who is renown for his incredible tactical sense and imagination. Shirov opens with 1. d4 and answers Kasparov's King's Indian Defense with the Saemisch Variation with 5. f3 - a solid choice for white against the KID as the center normally remains closed. However Kasparov plays very energetically and with 10. ...b5 black has already created an enormous amount of tension in the center and queenside. With 11. ...exd4 and 12. ...Re8 Kasparov offers to sacrifice a pawn, which Shirov accepts with 13. Bxf6 and 14. Qxd6. This decision is very interesting as for the remainder of the game, white will have an extra pawn but black's dark-squared bishop will be extremely powerful as white will not have any pieces to directly oppose it. Kasparov's ensuing play in the middlegame and endgame is very instructive as he breaks down his opponent's defense with a highly energetic counterattack.

"And the world champion finished him off with some precise strokes." (15:22) Who knew chess was so tantalizing. yolo

[@hikkenwayans]

Thanks for upload!!!

[@cameront3768]

Amazing commentary and analysis!!!!

[@Ronbo710]

I like Jim Plaskett's even tone in commentary better than all the hype of the later loud mouths.

[@Detherocable]

Sorry, but could please repeat that? I couldn't hear you over------ "THE ENGINES ARE GOING CRAAAZY! GARRRRRY DOMMINATING THE BOARD!" ---shley.

[@ChesscomGames]

[@paritoshkulk]

And the world champion , world champion etc more than 10 times !

[@dezsoracz872]

FANTASTIC GAME!!

[@ChesscomGames]

Thanks!

[@uchihadante77]

Shirov never has defeated Kasparov,his record against him is like 14 losses.It´s kinda weird if we consider both Elos(about 2700 for Shirov and 2800 for Garry),not a big difference in that matter.

[@guiladshmaya1]

At 12,40, was it necessary to focus on Shirov´s head for almost 30 seconds?

[@ethanpierce324]

Guilad Shmaya absolutely!

[@caralproductora]

Nice video, thanks

[@brianbledsoe3758]

Not really crushing just some dubious moves by Shirov punished very accuratly

[@kishannchess]

whats the name of dvd?

[@ChesscomGames]

for tech questions write to [e-mail] ty!

[@ChesscomGames]

haha yea man poor shirov, he always got owned so bad by kasparov. i think the final score between them in classical games is 13 wins, 7 draws, and 0 losses in kasparovs favor

[@plistc]

Who was giving commentary?? This certainly is NOT Will Stewart, lol. It's Grandmaster James Plaskett. :D

[@Gabrielul7]

06:38 "He can take either way, doesn`t really matter." (say what? - everything matters in chess and there`s alwasy an explanation on why a move was chosen over an other)

[@Detherocable]

Plaskett meant both takes are good. On one hand, the recapture with the c-pawn frees the light squared bishop via b7 and makes moves like f5 eventually to undermine e4 an idea. axb5 opens the a file.

[@fourtime7]

Precise. Seems so simple.

[@harrysbleton7174]

I am sorry but,is this a world championship game or something like that?

[@ChesscomGames]

+Harrys Bleton Not exactly. This was the grand prix. A strong chess tournament organised by Intel.

[@peristiloperis7789]

really nice

[@the5tigers]

nicely executed by kasparov..

[@radhwenhrizi87]

nice video

[@kyrobz]

DYNAMIC

[@paritoshkulk]

bh6 after rook attempting backrandk is coming

[@gorantrevise]

taking this silly pawn on d6 looks wierd for Shirov. However, he got a terrible score against Kasparov.

[@FuckEwTube]

really? i heard he never played a game.

[@nikiss8]

nice

[@mandurahchess]

I clicked dislike, not like, because the banners running across the video at the beginning and really really annoy me.

[@dookdawg214]

The software you're using is jumpy and blinky and very difficult to follow.

[@kellybrown6988]

That's bc this was in '92. U know, when u were still swimming around your daddy's nut sacks! Lol😄 jk! But seriously

[@eurabio]

he looks really afraid of Kasparov

[@arsenalfanrichi]

Wouldn't anyone be?

[@Detherocable]

A lot of people are. XD

[@mikemac1298]

I play better when I look away from the board to. It clears my mind, taking my emotions out of it.

[@ChesscomGames]

+Mike Mac Yes, this is a good way to think differently in a game

[@pauchalo]

I liked it, but why does Plasket's voice sound so dull and uninspiring? D. King and M. Ashley are much much more entertaining!!

[@adflicto1]

wat

[@dendogodnedmars2611]

terrible opening to go into for white. even a a noob chess player knows white should not to trade the dark bishop for a knight just to win a pawn lol

[@ChesscomGames]

+Dion Marinos Yes, Perhaps Nb3 was better than Bxf6, but it was a central pawn, and it's not clear black was better after Bxf6.
