Short v Kasparov 1993 Speed Challenge Game 2

[@harrysbleton7174]

and the game goes like this Short...(thinking 3 or 4min)..then makes a move Kasparov...(mate in 34 moves) makes a move

[@yashj1072]

Love these commentators. Nowadays it seems all too cluttered with people showing all engine lines and variations. The originality of chess is dipping

[@asamiyashin444]

Yeah, I like how they comment the actual game and not mess it up with neverending alternative lines.

[@duumitri]

great to have found this! thanks

[@Alberturkey54]

on 17:05 why dont black take the pawn with pawn g7 to f6????

[@asamiyashin444]

Nice calm explannations back in those days. Nowadays in KZbin it's all too fast and messed up.

[@Ronbo710]

I like how Gaza calls a stupid move a "rare continuation" lol !!

[@olivermccready9139]

At 8.02 short should of played h7 pinning the pawn and you can't stop check mate

[@leeball4585]

1:45 Those up on Najdorf theory in the 90's knew that 10. Bg5! is stronger here, as 10...Qxd4 is answered well by 11.e5 - white either get a great attack on the e file with black's king being delayed in the centre, or at least win an exchange by trapping the a8 rook. The queen's rook will instead defend the knight from d1 when required. Very, very complicated though, so you wouldn't try it in classical game unless thoroughly prepared - although maybe worth a try in the rapidplay games. I wonder if Kasparov had studied the lines and what his reply would have been? We'll never know :-(

[@kevino4372]

Was the e pawn not hanging for the first few moves?

[@ManicNirvana69]

Why not play bishop h6 at 8:02?

[@jivejudd1023]

+Nick P If Bh6, then I suppose Kasparov would have played Ne8, defending the weak g7 square. Hope this helped!

[@edwardm250]

do you have game 3?...thanks

[@denoskyldige]

8:00 Why doesnt white play bh6. Threatening mate, winning rock when protecting with g7?

[@kevino4372]

Think it's Ne8 black plays

[@varunmaheshwari9025]

Nh5 and White would eventually lose the bishop, for example after Qg4 and Ndf6 and Black is winning

[@semnome6871]

true but im comparing to others Gm's lol

[@ChillyMoth]

Short had gary by the curlies but life's a bitch

[@squid4104]

Nigel Short is so sweet!

[@Idontunderstandchess]

even so i dont like daniel king, its the first time i understand the logic behind pawn to b4, who would have believed.... ofc pawn pushes.. and yes obviously knight always has to moves... man my medication sucks those evil corrupt psychiatrists.....

[@semnome6871]

short sucks...
