When Garry Kasparov Challenged Hikaru

Can Hikaru Nakamura outplay the Former Chess World Champion Garry Kasparov?

Kasparov: still on the plane flying to hikaru Kasparov: already starts shaking head

[@highqualityorangejuice420]

I just imagine kasparov shaking his head the whole flight, car ride, and flight back and even his sleep

[@1979247]

Indeed. They should play again. Masters at work! I disagree that Kasparov is the goat though. Magnus earned that title.

[@qazzaqstan]

@@1979247 Imo it is so impossible to compare chess players across generations a reasonable case be made for several players. Magnus being a clear #1 player across all formats for a good length of time (and still counting) definitely has a case to be made for him, but at the same time I don't think he ever achieved the same level of dominance as Garry and definitely not Fischer or Morphy. Arguably in a computer age it just isn't possible to do that sort of thing anymore as the other top players are just too good and too prepared which is why I still think if you want to claim Magnus is the GOAT go for it, but I wouldn't argue with anyone who makes the same claim about Kasparov either.

[@metaphoria3]

W black pieces no less

[@metaphoria3]

@@qazzaqstan only thing I’d add is the value of dominance per capita should b screwed toward the ai age meaning even if Magnus is not as ahead of his comp as Morphy n Kasparov he should retain as much value given the reality of wide spread knowledge made easily accessible to everyone

Hikaru: Sits down Garry: Shakes head

[@EOh-ew2qf]

1:55 so funny because this is a kind of "trick" even beginners can see 😂 garry didn't shake his head because hikaru saw the fork

[@sonofwotan]

Something a lot of people don’t realize is that most older players, especially geniuses like Kasparov, don’t really lose much playing strength with age. What they lose is stamina. So in a single game, a great master from the past could hold his own against today’s champions, but after 50-60, it’s much harder for them to maintain the pace of a long match or tournament. Also, I wouldn’t read too much into Gary’s mannerisms. He has always been expressive, rolling his eyes, shaking his head and running his hands through his hair (back when he had hair). He probably felt that this was a pretty run-of-the-mill closed Benoni type position, the type he had played thousand times before. All he had to do was watch for tactics, exchange, and the draw was pretty certain.

[@arob8732]

"back when he had hair" 💀💀

[@sonofwotan]

@@arob8732 lol no offense, happens to us all if we live long enough

[@sam2725]

Certainly there is some truth to this, but I still don't think it is very accurate. Players lose significant playing strenght as a whole with age, young Kasparov would absolutely dominate todays Kasparov even in blitz or bullet, where stamina isn't nearly as important.

[@RaniaIsAwesome]

@@sam2725 Agree, old Kasparov is much worse but a much worse Kasparov is still enough to get a draw off of Hikaru. Always nice to see an old dog doing well but explaining it away as some physical stamina thing is very untrue.

[@Kbax3614]

That’s just wrong. Their calculations become slower/

[@johnvonhorn2942]

Even a wounded Kasparov is still a very dangerous animal.

[@danajeffery3850]

It's incredible to see the slight mistakes even GMs can make, and it really remind you that nobody can be perfect even if they study for several years

[@retrox64games]

i mean yeah, at the end of the day its just a board game, if you really play and study chess, you will see that you can usually find the best move by just remaining calm and trusting your chess intuition! A GM is not a god like some people fear or think, they can all be defeated, patience, strategy, and calmness!

Why are you moving the board from left to right and centre and not letting us concentrate?

[@erik-fisher]

"Hikaru is calm and focused" : (⁠٥⁠↼⁠_⁠↼⁠)

[@nimascolari1508]

The reason a legend like Hikaru didn't see the opening with the queen is because Kasparov does what he does. He makes so many variety of moves using the entire board that even Hikaru was overwhelmed by having to scan the entire board for threats as opposed to being to focus on one area and missed a seemingly obvious opportunity.

[@vader567]

@@justiniansu4642 Well Magnus is just.... Magnus so...

[@ChessAndNotCheckers]

​@@justiniansu4642 Kasparov was the number one player in the world for nearly 20 years at that point. Meanwhile, Carlsen doesn't even have the motivation to attempt to defend his classical titles (cause it's way too tiring for a title that people don't even seem to like anymore, cause of the poor revenue), after 10 years. It's ridiculous that people hold on to that draw vs Kasparov in Norway. You could do the same thing with Kasparov swindling Carlsen a little while ago in some online event too. That is perhaps more significant cause Carlsen was at his absolute peak around that time. But those are individual instances and it's unfair to compare the two like that. Ik who my GOAT is but there's no real way of confirming anything. Carlsen is from the stockfish era, and Kasparov abused players with outrageous opening prep in a stockfish-less era. There's no way to honestly suggest that Kasparov isn't capable of giving Carlsen a real run for his money

[@justiniansu4642]

@aryamanprajin7237 You're absolutely right. I was not saying that Kasparov is worse than Carlsen

Despite what the commentary says, it has nothing to do with immobilising the knight. Qb5 lets Hikaru’s queen infiltrate on c6 which forces a queen trade or else black loses their queen in the following sequence. The pawn then pushes and Kasparov has to sacrifice the knight to stop promotion and Hikaru is now up a piece.
