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.

W black pieces no less

[@metaphoria3]

[@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" 💀💀

[@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.

The reason a legend like Hikaru didn't see the opening with the queen is because Kasparov does what he does.

[@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

[@johngalbicsek5567]

Kaspy could probably hang in a few blitz or bullet games but would probably lack the mental stamina for classical at this age. Also Gary's style relys on deep calculations which is one of the abilities age hits hardest. That's why Anand switched to boring positional draws when he got older and also why Karpov did quite a bit better than Kaspy when they did their little comebacks when old. I think I'd rather see a Kaspy vs Karpov geriatric rematch now that you bring it up.
