Most Emotional Chess Match Ever

[@shgamer8178]

This is not a man crying over losing a chess match, this is a man mourning his former self, mourning his genius that has been stricken by time, this is Ivanchuk, the former world champion in rapid chess, the conqueror of champions and geniuses, the nightmare of Kasparov, Karpov, Topalov and Kramnik, and today this talented young American Daniel Naroditsky comes to beat him in time, he is no longer as fast as he was, his intuition is no longer present, and his memory has become retentive, this is a person yearning for his self that will never return, this is mourning and not just crying. "There is no ascent, no matter how long it is elevated, but it has a descent one day and a downward slope."

[@gcollins1992]

I think that mourning, the understanding that age comes for us all, is what makes this so emotional. I didn't start following top level chess or learning chess history until about 2018, long after Ivanchuk's prime. But coincidentally, 2018 was the last year Roger Federer won a Grand Slam in a sport whose history I did study and did understand. Federer was a childhood hero growing up, and I spent a long time in denial about his gradual decline. I can't imagine what it must have been like for Danya, who is a well-known student of the game, who speaks about these predecessors like heroes, the same way I spoke about Federer... to then beat one of his idols on a world stage and watch him confront his own mortality. When I first watched the clip, I was crying for Ivanchuk, but now in a way I'm crying for both men.

[@DJG37S]

I agree. I'm 40 years old and back in the early 2000 (04-08), I ran track for TCU ran a mile in 3:59 (PB), and this was in my prime, at 40 years old I am no longer able to to run those times, and watching some old school DVD recordings of myself running in college brings me tears too, because deep down I know that I won't be able to run those times again.

[@HarveyHopesbane]

Oh god, shut up.

[@gcollins1992]

@@DJG37S I know this isn't the point of these comments, but you should be DAMN proud. A sub-4 mile was once the pinnacle of human running achievement. It's impossible to be who you were at 21 when you're 40... but no one can take away what you did.

[@krypt1ccc739]

​@Liionkingg chess is life for these people; They've played it almost their entire life. People show emotion in other sports but it's normally anger and frustration. There's no shame in crying and it's certainly better than being filled with rage imo.

[@AaAaa-z7e]

You lack discipline. Its not good for your health to keep those emotions inside.

[@mrtricklas]

When I heard Ivanchuk cry I started tearing down myself. It was so heartbreaking and Naroditsky was so respectful that it was really hard to simply go on with my day after watching the chess base India footage

[@gargamel3393]

Yeah, that was hard to watch. I feel bad for them both, but at the same time I'm a bit envious of Chuky's passion. I don't think I feel that passionately about anything that isn't alive. He lives in that world though, and he's been in that world for a long time. High five to Danya for being so respectful too. It seemed like he didn't get up for awhile and kinda lingered because he felt like he should do... something. He nervously moved the pieces around a bit and realized the best thing he could do was quietly leave.

[@aaronchan1088]

Total heartbreak... i thought ivanchuk would convert, but instead of Rxd6, i would play b7, followed by Kc7.

Ivanchuk's passion for the game is unmatched. That is why he is my favorite player ever. He is such a brilliant and creative player, and so passionate. A true legend.

[@sammarks9146]

In this era of cold calculation, I've never seen a player who takes so much good-hearted joy in winning, or such devastation in a loss. Truly loves the game, and it shows.

[@juanjahn5606]

He’s my favorite too. His style is amazing. He became my favorite upon watching an interview of his, and the joy and whimsy in his voice was so infectious I fell in love instantly!

[@ngare.k]

I just watched this video today. Danya took it equally as hard as Chuki. I understand when Hikaru says he wants to retire at 40. Age is a cruel master, you can keep up with others over the board, but time may not be on your side, both on the board and in life. My heart goes out to Ivanchuk.

[@artiomgera6686]

I thought Hikaru to be way older oh my God .. Great stuff You Said there btw

[@AsianHazza09]

Him crying reminded me of my old man. I've never seen my dad shed a tear in my life and when I did, he said that he used to be considered a genius back in the day. He was the first in my family to get a degree and pull us all out poverty with nothing but his intellect and memory. He said he had forgotten the most simple thing and started breaking down because he felt that he has become a shell of what he once was. I feel as though ivanchuck was thinking that even 10 years ago he would've been that 1 second quicker or that one move better to have won this game. I've learned that time is a cruel, sick, bastard that's never late, and comes for us all

[@Hendur]

idk if you can be happy with winning a game like this on time, it was so intense, maybe Daniel wished his opponent had more of a fighting chance at the end. But idk

[@ghostrider-od6ls]

[@schippai3308]

I don't think happiness is really what he'd be feeling here, this man was one of the greats of his time, to a younger man he was an idol - to watch someone you aspired to be, even to beat - lose not because of a lack of skill but of the deterioration of time? it's more than okay to be a bit sad; but yes, apologizing would definitely not be the right move

Chucky is such a gentle soul. When I lose, I rage, I get angry, I swear. And here is Chucky, losing a game like this and weeping. I felt that on another level.

[@EneldoSancocho]

Sometimes, when you get angry with yourself it's because you feel you could have done better. Sometimes you feel you cannot improve anymore, and you feel your mind is slowly getting a little slower, that can make you cry for obvious reasons. I think that is what he felt. The only thing one can do when you lose something you love or value forever (I'm not saying that's his case), is to accept it and look for that value, cause, love, elsewhere. "To succeed in life is to be to get up every time one falls" said Mujica

[@shawnmichaels568]

Ivanchuk is a legend throught & through, He proved why he is up there with the very best in chess. - just like Anaad and (other few older players that are still playing) , Him going to face to face & competing with the current high level players past his prime is an impressive feat within itself.

Truly painful to watch... with how he immediately broke down i cant imagine what was going through his head... he had to be spiraling even before the clock hit zero and finally he just cracked the moment it was over. So few people can even understand the pain of commitment, to dedicate yourself to something for so long and in many way to be defined by it only to feel it slipping from your fingers simply because of the ceaseless march of time.

According to Arnold Denker, who was told by Edward Lasker, a 36-year-old Ossip Bernstein in 1918 was arrested in Odessa by the Bolshevik secret police whose purpose was to investigate and punish "counterrevolutionary" crimes. Bernstein was to be shot by a firing squad for serving as a legal advisor to the banking industry.⁣ On the day of his execution, Bernstein watched as the firing squad lined up before him. At the last minute, a commanding officer asked to see the list of prisoner names and recognized Bernstein's name as he was a chess enthusiast. After confronting Bernstein about his identity, the commanding officer offered him a deal he couldn't refuse.⁣ They would play a game of chess. If Bernstein won the match, he would win his life and freedom. However, if he drew or lost, he would get shot along with the rest of the prisoners. Bernstein won in short order and was released.
