The Moment Vladimir Kramnik Became World Chess Champion (2000)

[@nossenkanter]

"He's way too strong, let's do the procedure." - Kasparov

[@andrepousa7372]

Ok, I mean, everything about this is clear to me..

[@kolawolelawalson7770]

Let's do the procedure

[@JustAPokemonCommentingOnVideos]

He is definitely one of the greats sad to see the downfall....

[@waqasrahman8167]

He is 50 years old now. Obviously, he can't calculate fast anymore. He needs to relax now. The problem is that he believes he is 25.

[@Justamag1c]

You cannot deny his chess strength

[@31redorange08]

His chess strength is irrelevant.

[@gorangoran6335]

​@@31redorange08 He does not give a s**t to your comment.

[@Snoowfy]

​@@31redorange08How's that irrelevant? If Kramrik is known today and as relevant as he is in his dumb accusations it's because of his strength which made him world champion. He's not a random grandmaster accusing people of cheating like others.

[@31redorange08]

@@Snoowfy It's irrelevant to the validity of his accusations, not to the reach, that's true.

[@ILoveAOC]

*@Justamag1c* I am able to deny his chess strength. He blunders in time troubles and loses the game.

[@Parasuraman-ey4wo]

This was a momentous moment in chess. Brilliant but arrogant Kasparov thought he was invincible, but got “zeroed” (0-2) against Vladimir Kramnik (certainly one of the best players in history at his peak then), and felt shut down by a human version of Deep Blue 2.0 This brought mighty and arrogant Kasparov down to the ground, a bit. It was best for chess too.

[@DC-zi6se]

Kramnik was the greatest player of the Ruy Lopez.

[@gusleffers9265]

Kasparov actually was sort of convinced that Kramnik, who he helped “bring up”, would succeed him - some people think that his loss was in part to feeling like it might have been inevitable.

[@Wolf_Phantomstein]

Vladimir Kramnik is a true chess legend and alwas will be the one.

[@krishna-wv9db]

No longer..he surely was a legend

[@Wolf_Phantomstein]

@krishna-wv9db I don't think it is for trolls and unmannered internet mob to decide.

The day when the procedure started

[@CUNDUNDO]

The one and only Vladimir Kramnik ,a living legend that will never be forgotten !

[@Justamag1c]

Also, even though I don't agree with Kasparov on many things, I would like players to be more expressive, nowadays press conferenses are quite boring, everyone is too polite(Ding and Gukesh especially)

[@DC-zi6se]

both are naturally soft spoken I think. If the match was between Hans and Anish Giri, things would've been different for certain.

[@swadianrecruittotallynotar6664]

so what? chess press conference is the last thing you'd want to watch if you're looking for entertainment

[@DarthMessias]

​@@swadianrecruittotallynotar6664Yeah, we are chess fans, not fans of press conferences...xD

[@boxofcans461]

​@swadianrecruittotallynotar6664 it can be entertaining, which is a good possibility for fans.

[@chessitochesstuber]

Did Kasparov just mock on Vladimir and Botvinnik when he said: _This is the greatest accomplishment of somebody who learned from Botvinnik_

[@DC-zi6se]

no

[@NotQuiteFirst]

Kasparov has the coolest chair though

[@ramoncedillof]

Último año en que dos jugadores con bandera rusa se enfrentaron por un título mundial.

[@catplayscatalan956]

I think he was a bit too strong - Kasparov

[@danielmaske9946]

Procedure, I am thinking.

[@Босс-е6э]

same generic joke over and over again...

[@danielmaske9946]

@Босс-е6э procedure

[@synchronium24]

Never thought I'd have less respect for Kramnik than Raymond Keene (the announcer and infamous plagiarizer).

[@rooksman64]

can you elaborate?

[@Jahiegel]

Plagiarizer, probable fraudster, and betrayer of Korchnoi’s trust, indeed-yet I share your sentiment! Similarly remarkable is that Topalov, too, has wound up looking quite good in comparison; Vladdy has done as Topalov did in ‘06, but several times over, and-in another comparison one’d never have imagined one’d find oneself making-with less grace, civility, and reason even than Danailov.

[@Battleslash3]

Damn, would be rude to do what Kramnik did now

[@regzzuse280]

I've never seen Nakamura or Naroditsky doing such a thing tho.

[@kohnr3381]

Naroditsky rarely played offline and never won anything important to do such thing.

[@ArshPlaysChess]

Start the procedure

[@BenOri-vg8le]

People forget that kasparov is past his prime even here. Every champion becomes weaker. 15 years is impressive. Kramnink beat him but hasn't beaten a prime kasparov as everyone think "keamink beaten him hence.." is ridiculous

[@nossenkanter]

No one says he's better than Garry, it's still impressive he was the one to end his run. Just like Magnus and Anand, Vishy wasn't at his best but still someone had to beat him.

[@Phurngirathaana]

Lol Kasparov reached his peak elo in 1999 After the match he won every super tournament he played What you're saying is nonsense

[@BenOri-vg8le]

@Phurngirathaana before u talk about anything make sure u have a brain. Peak of raring doesn't mean peak it can be due to various reason such as competitions opportunity different opponents etc (Karpov fe nearly stopped). Kasparov became a champion at about 20 while here is nearly 40. So no chess player is at peak at 40. Every champion loses one day and it means nothing that kramnink did it. Casablanca also lost his championship and carlsen would lose no. 1 as well . Let's see what happens when he is 40.

[@Phurngirathaana]

@@BenOri-vg8le Then how did he win every super tournament after the match until his retirement? You're just making excuses to discredit Kramnik He was 37 not 40 either

[@toprakgultekin3930]

1999 was one of Kasparov's best years and he was #1 for 6 years after, he wasnt past his prime lol. Kramnik just had a great match strategy and knew how to "play" Kasparov

A God of chess. Kids nowadays clowning him have 0 brain and 0 heart.

[@stratosphr3819]

I mean he just doesn't accept the fact that his peak is over I guess. He's basically doing all this to himself tbh

Strange statement

[@kartz2010]

7:28 "Vladimir won the title and he is next to me at number 14 in the Fide rankings which is trash" But before the Gukesh - Ding match he now thinks Fide rankings are NOT trash and the match between number 5 Gukesh and number 22 Ding cannot be called as a world championship! What a hypocrite Kasparov is!

[@johnanderson5009]

Kasparov referred to Kramnik becoming the 14th Chess World Champion and that the FIDE World Champion title was trash.

[@kartz2010]

​@johnanderson5009but that doesn't make sense. Garry being the 13th and Kramnik being the 14th world champion... How is that trash? Just because it was from Fide? Why did he compete and celebrate his victory against Karpov if it was trash? Kasparov is mad to change his stance according to what suits him at any given moment.

[@johnanderson5009]

@@kartz2010 Back in 2000 there twere two Chess World Champion titles ever since Kasparov and Nigel Short (qualified through the candidates matches and beat Karpov) broke away from FIDE in 1993 to play their match for the World Championship. So from 1993-2000 the lineal World Champion was Kasparov (until beaten by Kramnik) and the FIDE World Champion was Karpov. The unification match came in 2006 when Topalov (FIDE Champion) and Kramnik (lineal Champion) played eachother. Kasparov is just saying that the FIDE title is trash because the lineal title is what matters.

[@Phurngirathaana]

Also Kasparov should have played Shirov not Kramnik

[@kame_kura]

@@johnanderson5009 yep. Besides, Kasparov was still ranked #1 on FIDE, and Kramnik was either #2 or #3 around that time.
