Follow MprooV on Twitter / mproovapp #agadmator The 9th Annual Linares Super Tournament held from February 22nd to March 15th, 1991 was a category XVII event. Fourteen of the world's top players, including the World Champion, competed in a round robin format that was the strongest tournament in the world at that time. The participants were (in order of ELO): Garry Kasparov (2800), Anatoli Karpov (2725), Boris Gelfand (2700), Vassily Ivanchuk (2695), Mikhail Gurevich (2650), Jaan Ehlvest (2650), Valery Salov (2645), Alexander Beliavsky (2640), Gata Kamsky (2640), Vishwanathan Anand (2635), Jan Timman (2630), Jonathan Speelman (2610), Artur Yusupov (2605), and Ljubomir Ljubojevic (2595). It was a second phenomenal victory for Ivanchuk who finished clear first with an impressive 9.5/13, even winning his head to head match with second place and world champion, Kasparov.

This is the game I come back to the most. It is just beautiful how Ivanchuk literally dismantles Kasparov and was so confident in his ability that he was willing to sacrifice two knights knowing he'd imprison the bishops later. I genuinely think Linares 1991 is the most impressive chest performance in history. Ivanchuk DUSTED the field and this was probably the strongest field to ever play in a tournament.

Exactly , in 1990 (when this was played)it was sensational . For a start Ivanchuck won the the strongest Tournament (Linares) and beat the two K's in the process, (as you can see he did not just beat Kasparow) . After this it was expected for Ivanchuck to be the next challenger for the World Championship (sadly it was not to be , but in 1990-92 he must have been the best player in the World)

This is the most badass attack I've ever seen. I'm astounded. Thanks for sharing!

One of the best games .. Ivanchuk amazing improvisation and variations.. against Garry

[@PaleGhost69]

Hello, I've been binge watching your videos a lot since I found the channel and I had an idea. You have all that blank space to the left of the board, how about putting a small picture of each player on their respective sides? Would add a lot to the entertainment value

[@agadmator]

+PaleGhost69 I'm planning on doing this soon. I will make a new improved interface :)

[@geinrovaan6258]

1. Tal or Ivanchuk in their prime. 2. When Fischer and Morphy are having a nice calm day.

[@defenestratedalien1448]

Agadmator has gotten me addicted to chess. It is more beautiful than I thought. This was utterly brilliant

[@Philiopantheon82]

Ivanchuck is very easily my favorite modern time player. Very strategic and amazing courage in the face of other players

[@nikolaipenev8349]

"hello everyone"... cracks me up every single time :D

[@WilliamMatar]

Lovely.. I played Ivantchuk in Lebanon in Simultaneous games

Ivancuk is that cousin in your family gathering who cannot dance, but can win ballet competition

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

Oh, I've enjoyed it a lot! Thank you!

Amazing game, one of the greatest i've ever seen. Kasparov must certainly remember that game, with his 4 pieces on the back rank. Crazy. Thank you Agad

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

Caming back to this video four or five years later and having grown quite a bit as a chess player, I can appreciate this game even more today. It's almost like a magic trick, at some point Kasparov must have thought, "How did this happen?" Absolutely fantastic, it looks so awkward in the beginning and then suddenly all of black's pieces are trapped in a vice.

"This is the worst bishop pair in the history of chess." You killed me hahahaha :D

Whenever I'm feeling down in life, I come and watch this game. The brilliance of Chucky in this game lights up my mood. 🥰

[@el_aristoteles]

That's one of my favorite games ever. I always come back to see it one more time.

[@mackemforever3114]

I'm absolutely shocking at playing chess but do enjoy playing. Love your videos mate please keep up the good work.

[@alirezarohami6138]

Someone should remind Ian (and hopefully, Alireza) of this game, with the exact quote Agad wisely chose. Magnus seems to be boringly unbeatable when it comes to brute force. And yet, there's the lack of "going astray" all over the place... Poor us! Whatever happened to Tal and Ivanchuk and the human players! The only thing human about the recent WCC was Ian's hysteric expressions every time he made a blunder!

[@kurt2890]

#suggestion Nepo - Ivanchuk 2009. It seemed like Nepo would win but suddenly Ivanchuk was the one attacking and he won the game. It's an amazing one.

What a beautiful creature. Your dog is so calm and elegant.
