Kasparov vs Short - Speed Chess Challenge Pt.2

Live at the Hippodrome, 1987. World Champion Garry Kasparov goes against the highest rated British player Nigel Short for the London Docklands Speed Chess Challenge Trophy.
Nigel desperately needs a win after losing the first 2 games to the World Champion.
Very original play by both players. Kasparov unusually plays the Reti and Short answers with the Chigorin Defense. Live commentary by Grandmaster Ray Keene.
Part 2 of 2

[@santishorts]

The commentator was the highlight of this. Such a vivid and easy to grasp recount of the events.

[@iglooproductions]

I wish there was Chess shows like this nowadays. The commentator is great and the on-screen board and cut aways to the real board is all perfect.

[@ethanpierce324]

Modern chess commentators: take notes!

[@nazihitler9310]

Exactly

[@Hugh_Jasssss]

Great commentary, no evaluation bar... What's there not to love? Excellent.

[@toasterdestodes8034]

I didn´t know, Short was practicing king marches before his famous game vs Jan Timman. Very nice to watch with Keenes´ entertaining commentary.

[@alffbooks]

Very interesting game! :D The commentary is really good! :)

[@vtiger444]

excellent video - most entertaining to see these guys in action near their prime

[@curva130r]

Thanks for upload it! It was amazing! :D

[@Neueregel]

Amazing KING WALK by Nigel !! Romantic style

[@Bertskees1]

Wow I love watching these chess commentary videos!! Thanks for the upload :)

[@copernicus6420]

top quality chess players and their interesting laughs

[@richardhelliwell1210]

Perhaps if I develop a geeky laugh my chess will improve, huh huh huh.....

[@ZipLineAttack]

Thx for posting this!

[@Petionvilloi]

Wow! I love this video so much and the commentary is truly fantastic. Raymond Keene & Maurice Ashley are the best chess commentators imho.

[@elapcaro9828]

Raymond Keene what a lad

[@Kupferhans]

Thanks for this video! Very interesting game!

[@udo77]

enjoyed this. more of this please!

[@itsMinuteMaid]

The only way he can defend his Bishop is by moving his rook to c2, then on Blacks next move he will put his Queen on b1, simultaneously attacking the Rook and Bishop. After that, one of those pieces will be lost with nothing in return. Meanwhile, Black's King is incredibly safe, all of his pieces are protected, White's Queen is on the opposite side of the board in an utterly helpless position... There's just nothing that Kasparov could do.

[@turnerthemanc]

I like Raymond Keene. Started off on one of his books.

[@spriteofbones]

Fantastic upload.

[@zagozago9893]

Excellent game!

[@babrakoberma673]

again one of famous Short's king marches

[@lakermangmx]

thx noir!

[@ericmschindler1]

1. Short looks 15 in the video. 2 in a closed position, it is difficult for somebody with a bishop pair to win.

[@misterkefir]

I love how Kasparov is dressed ! superb ;)

[@SEB12578]

where we can found a game where Kasparov win? :D every game on internet he is losing...

[@sebastianalegria3401]

hi sebastien how r u??, cheers

[@SEB12578]

Thank i'm watching this movie too, great duo with Deneuve !

[@sebastianalegria3401]

+Sébastien Tari what do you of Alain Deloin

[@jamesarthur4660]

Sébastien Tari any videos kasparov has many win. watch kasparov vs topalov you will see his deepness not like tal or morphy simple tactic but they are exciting

[@tirsomontesino]

GM Nigel Short uno de los mas grandes como jugador y como persona!!!! muy buena partida

[@EGarrett01]

If the video is something that can be spoiled, don't look at comments before you watch it. Discussion of a video will always include info about how it ends.

[@jozsefbodor1056]

This commentator is awesome.

[@Graham6762]

Man Kasparov is good at fighting tyranny and biting people. You awesome Kasparov.

[@misterkefir]

In fact, both players look awesome ;P

[@mcpartridgeboy]

nice work mr short i feel they should have been a bit more magnanamous though consiudering that mr kasparov was a guest to england

[@keebordcowboy]

just beautiful. :)

[@sleepyeyeguy]

And actually being a good sport about it!

[@FrancescMorales]

Impresionante. Defendiendo y atacando a la vez.

[@butoychoi69]

Kasparov BANGA .

[@thehealthjourney]

Nigel Short is freekin amazing! He plays a lot like me. Really great logical moves! :D

[@gigisdad]

GK took it amazingly well.

[@22Kyu]

Ne3 (d5-e3) is already a check.. so the king would have moved to the second rank.. but then again queen takes c1 after Nxc2, and then its just a matter of time.. pretty much a lost cause for Kasparov.. A very good unorthodox game, this one..!

[@1471emre]

Garry kimovich, he is the best and his laugh is very funny...

[@Mosil0]

Except that the top comment is visible without having to scroll down and thus rather hard to avoid seeing.

[@ChessNoir]

@Extrea yes i have 1 more from this match. i'll upload that too

[@nicocola1]

nice vid

[@SuperMyfamily01]

@xxxIronLeexxx I agree 100%! I love the commentary..."what cheek against the world champion!" Classic! lol

[@kemdek]

Because white have no option to attack the king, pieces are not connected too. Only way to defend Bishop is Rb3, but then check with Ne3+, Kf2 (best option), then Nxb3. but, as i said, no option to attack the king in one move. so... here's some moves : let's say Qxe7, just taking material really. Qxc1 for black, Qe8+ white (mere attack), Kxh4 black, Qxa4 for white. Then it's done, it's just chasing the king to the check mate starting by Qe3+.

[@phroney]

Who is the commentator? He is fantastic!

[@xandror]

I analyzed this game with Fritz 13, when Nigel plays H6 at 2:32, its a horrific, game losing blunder, every move played after this on both sides until Kasparov finally takes the rook is also considered a blunder. Its as if by not taking the rook Kasparov is saying "Look I'm letting you win this game but lets make it look believable" and Nigel is replying "I blundered, I don't deserve to win".

[@mpmpm]

xandror "I analyzed this game with Fritz 13, when Nigel plays H6 at 2:32, its a horrific, game losing blunder, every move played after this on both sides until Kasparov finally takes the rook is also considered a blunder. Its as if by not taking the rook Kasparov is saying "Look I'm letting you win this game but lets make it look believable" and Nigel is replying "I blundered, I don't deserve to win"." I analyzed it too, with stockfish. Although white gains 0.5 points at H6, I wouldn't call that a horrific blunder. If white would then take the rook with the bishop, the value goes down from +1.3 to -1.2. Further on in the game, white rook to A8 and to C8, now thát were blunders :). Keep in mind this is a quick game: 'blunders' like H6 which loses 0.5 points, are extremely common here.

[@dalcon555]

That's a fascinating analysis and find it very intrigueing.

[@starlo3]

Is Fritz a chess program? (Software)

[@Maherachi]

which I believe would also put Kasparov in check.

[@crazyim5]

English chess culture!

[@petercourt]

This is so wonderfully British.

[@thechessstick]

sure at 3:25 f3 followed by g4 was a way to break through for Kasparov.

[@Mosil0]

Interesting. Maybe it depends on the resolution? I'm running 1050x1680 on a 22" monitor.

[@larswey2745]

Go to 10:20 to see who won..

[@SofS24]

10:33 the crowd go wild!

[@di3g04]

"OOhh my goood, He did it!"

[@Guitare_picking]

lol Kasparov doesn't like to lose omg !

[@johndusixdeux2477]

nice

[@Petionvilloi]

@articlescolumn for some reason, I'm not a great fan of Kasparov at all. On the other hand, I like Anand! A true ambassador for chess. Carlsen does impress a lot too (even though I don't root for him a lot, but that is changing. The kid has lots of class).

[@inyourgenes]

Why did Garry resign? I like the analysis offered by the chess site guys....explain stuff for chess-cretins like me.

[@EGarrett01]

Not on my computer.

[@pairot01]

@ 8:47 , what if Kasparov would have moved Rd8 instead of g4? threatening the knight, and eventually sacrificing his rook to take that knight and making it possible for his queen to take short's rook and then attack the king?

[@nadhim69]

the problem is : You need a high level to appreciate the game. I am fare from that level so im not enjoying that stuff

[@Carlisle412]

Nigel Short looks like Stieg Larson! :D

[@rohitagent]

Everyone knows the result of this and the other match(referring to the other video you have posted). What might not be known is the result of the series-Kasparov won 4-2.

[@dumshady]

@IPwnAllAndLeaveNone thats what i thought :P he aint sacrificing it but w/e

[@jamiewalking]

@phroney Raymond Keene

[@fsfabbri]

Because of QB1 by black

[@lordwilksy]

10:29 Jacob Collier

[@ChessNoir]

@ex0duzz i only have the short wins

[@SN011GlobeTrot]

I thought Kasparov at least had some kamikaze lines he could attempt but obviously he must not have if he didn't go through with them...

[@Schutzstafell]

Kasparov vs. Karpov in Leon

[@mozartiano123]

Finally hear gary's russian accent :D

[@FermatWiles]

can somebody please explain why Kasparov didn't take the rook at ca. 2:45?

[@cygil1]

He could exchange rooks, Rc4xb4 cxb4.

[@soulreaperichig0]

If he moved to c2 Ne3+ forking the king and two rooks

[@SAINTsoldi]

wtf never give up!

[@mathewboss9111]

At 10:11 he's dumbed out rooke to c2 god!

[@pirate0bloodyskull]

Would it be possible to find the rest?

[@kinggambitabc]

@mathewsgame Rc2 Qb1 game over

[@theeternalhermit6493]

wtf is with those queens and kings on the computer chess board, those are super wide and look ridiculous

[@TheBetito123]

At 10:11 i would have moved b2-c2 and nothin would happen.

[@niskoulas1998]

7:40 what about Ke3?

[@khooby922]

@mathewsgame I haven't touched chess for 5 years and even I can see the obvious ...Ne3 reply.

[@Mosil0]

Nice how the top comment spoils the result. Great game though.

[@MegaObliterate]

I know this comment is quite old. But that is exactly why the top comment is visible for you.

[@nadhim69]

at least if the commentator was a high level guy that could make it...But still he would have too much things to say ... so in every way its fucked lol

[@hxh77]

who's the winner????

[@angel17099096]

do you know play chess?

[@saada5503]

+hxh77 Short

[@Dishkasfan]

Chess pieces are naked?

[@stevencarrington2548]

dnt ruin it plz

[@mathewboss9111]

@khooby922 well im only 12 whats ur excuse? :P

[@neeyotube]

Classic British teeth.

[@hcnuup]

Fake. It was convincing until Kasparov lost, that doesn't happen in real life.

[@fravatel]

What a ridiculous commentary...

[@iluvatarchem]

Incredibly arrogant and rude commentary typical of English mentality..

[@robicenco1]

Rubbish. Explain how it is arrogant or rude. He shows no disrespect to Kasparov at any time.

[@Gustavo-so7zk]

@@robicenco1 He spends the whole damn video being disrespectful to Kasparov
