Such Elegance! || Kramnik vs Anand || Dos Hermanas (1996)

[@alejandroacosta8039]

Dear agad, If 1996 anand couldn't find the move... i dont think i can either. Best, Humble subscriber

[@peters8841]

So many interesting themes, and really highlights the gulf between being up material and winning the game! The way Kramnik ground out the slimmest possible advantage to stave off a draw is blowing my mind, but also incredible how Anand defends here. It really demonstrates that grandmaster mindset when someone understands so precisely the strengths and weaknesses of the position, and walks that knife edge for 100+ moves

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

As @davidgriffiths7696 alludes to in his comment, we should appreciate Agadmator for showing the best side of Kramnik at this time. Not stoking the fires of controversy. This is a service to the game of chess and those who truly enjoy it.

[@MrRedstonefreedom]

Is there really any controversy though? Either Kramnik has totally lost his clarity of mind, or he's very disingenuously trying to cover-up a totally irresponsible & hasty misfire, while trying to maintain a sense of unearned righteousness. You can't ramble about how your mother taught you to be a man of your word while constantly squirming out of "I said X" with "you're a horrible person for saying I said X". That's not even criticizing the dishonest (or deranged, really who knows) denial that an obvious implication wasn't the implication at all.

[@kohnr3381]

nakamura fans are dumb

[@schess75]

The best duo of those years after Karpov vs Kasparov

[@jannatty583]

Some would say this game is very INTERESTING!

[@davidgriffiths7696]

A good initiative focusing on the real reason Kramnik is well known👍

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Great point. Agadmator is a worthy ambassador for chess. Non-biased with no preferential treatment towards any particular organization. The only players he has shown favoritism towards are the legends of days gone by such as Tal and Bobby Fischer.

7:37 - Weird, and not lying here: my phone also started listening.

[@sabyasachibehera6871]

Same here!

[@Sam-qi2gw]

Thank you for this mini Kramnik saga in the Dos Hermanos - what a crazy field and what wonderful games.

[@edmzfrs]

Prime Kramnik was lethal

[@nedmerrill5705]

That variation of the Gruenfeld is not for amateurs, professional opening experts only.

[@devanshgaur5265]

Actually no variation of gruenfield is for amateurs ... :)

[@jovial111]

Interesting

[@aronuchukwuezugo615]

That's what I was thinking 😂

[@adamgardener8624]

That was an enthralling game and breakdown

[@nathanesau1]

I think that Kramnik lost the respect of many in the chess community like myself when he started to call out some high profile players for cheating without any evidence.

[@shivaranjan7053]

i think he wanted some attention so he did it

[@ndnd7614]

he went after the wrong people that clearly are not cheating.

[@-pisellogrosso96-35]

​@@shivaranjan7053thats not true and if you think that you have mental problems

[@wunknownbeatbox7980]

The problem is there's no such thing as evidence in chess cheating for high level players if you're not witnessing it first hand in person. Kramnik tried to argue his statistical findings as evidence, and it's not definitive. Masters like dubov have spoken openly that if a strong master wanted to cheat, you would never know. They only need 1-2 moves. I think kramniks notion is just, but pointing the finger at Hikaru was a huge mistake, and for obvious reasons.

[@woodworkingmelbourne949]

Hmmm reminds me of Lance Armstrong. Clearly he wasn't cheating but the math's Ole Kram presents is compelling... Just a thought

[@mikecroke6078]

Ladies and gentlemen… THE BEATLES!!!

Kramnik had some serious hair back in the day.

[@dariuszgietka1457]

Kramnik is one of the best players :) to prove that black life in Grunfeld defense (which i like very much) isnt easy .Vlad plays many instructive model games with white vs Grunfeld ....even beat Kasparov in title match ( great game also) .

[@1994mrmysteryman]

My man Kramnik got flair 😂

The hair speak for itself xD

[@asifswapnil6574]

why don’t we have the Anand vs Kramnik championship saga?

I missed the hello everyone while connecting my earbuds. Had to rewind back

[@pt7258]

7:14 my phone also started to listen to Agad🤣

[@nl3064]

That thumbnail...that hair...Young Kramnik is what it would've looked like had John Lennon lived long enough to be afflicted by 80's fashion.

Are we getting the Kramnik saga before the Steinitz one ?

7:30 my phone listening 😮

19:11 there is a good discovery!! Rd5+! The knight is lost.

The knight is already protected by the Bishop 😂

[@itsjustadot4438]

This same moment my Google voice activated too😅❤

[@truevulgarian]

For the game winning move for Anand, why not P-E5+? Rook takes pawn, knight takes rook, king cannot take knight because of black bishop. So gains the rook in exchange for a pawn. Or am I missing something?

[@exbricadlo]

endgame': spicy-spicy

[@tomislavblazevic2742]

I can't recall I've ever seen a classic game in the Gruenfeld, where black actually wins :S

[@northshores7319]

This game shows Vlad playing like Magnus in the endgame. In his early days Vlad played complicated games. No one has ever covered his great wins in the first Olympiad where Kasparov demanded he be put on the team when almost all GM's did not agree. Vlad was also the first player in modern times to go 70 or 80 games without a loss prior to his match with Kasparov. More of his games from the 90's should be shown as they are quite entertaining.

[@noureddinejadyani5008]

Not gonna, lie karmnik is sexy af.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I understand having the Rook and Bishop vs the just the knight and couple pawns is winning yet white had no pawns left I’m wondering how difficult would it actually be to Checkmate the Black King at that point if the knight were able to fork a piece it would be a draw but I guess for GMs Kramnik would figure a mating pattern at some point Great Game Enjoy your day

2nd: Hans Niemann = next Bobby Fischer - Wesley So = current Bobby Fischer - Bobby Fischer's ghost = old Bobby Fischer - Beth Harmon = Bobby Fischer in another universe Each of these 4 'is a prodigy, had a rather dark childhood and is American'. Speaking of Wesley So Hikaru's (the rapid WFRCC) wife almost beat Wesley So's (the classical WFRCC) girlfriend! 2023 USCC - Indeed Carissa Yip won and thanked Wesley So as her secret second in the 2023 USCC closing ceremony speech. But in Carissa vs Atousa, Carissa was losing most of the game. Atousa just blundered in the end. move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1...
