I couldn't agree more with you! FIDE commentaries are so boring...!

[@ShurlockHolmes]

@5:04 That Kasparov impression is gold!

[@snickle1980]

💖As someone slowly approaching 50, It does my heart good to see Gary "Chess" Kasparov _STILL winning games_ at his age.

[@ninjaxd9050]

Honestly I don't think age is limiting his chess prowess, I just think he is done with studying 12 hors a day after so many years on top. Keeping up with the theory must be exhausting for professionals.

[@psymar]

@@ninjaxd9050 I suspect it would still limit him in longer time controls -- not because of any reduction in his ability to think, but in his endurance. Playing top-level chess for 6-8 hours is not easy on the cardio, as anyone who has played Magnus in a drawn endgame can attest!

[@missionpupa]

Chess is not a physical game, nor is it a fast instinct game (although it does help) but what is more important is building knowledge and intuition on the moves, which means the longer you played chess, the better you will be at the game. Age is not as big of a factor compared to other sports.

[@sylver76]

​@@missionpupa Look at the FIDE ratings and you'll see very few older players at the top. Chess players usually peak at 30-35 years old, which is not really different from physically demanding sports like MMA, boxing, Judo.... Chess is a physically demanding game in that you have to keep going for hours and hours, and if you are not in good shape, if your back hurts, if you get low blood sugar, get sleepy.... you underperform, which at the top level means you get slaughtered. Guys like Kasparov and Anand who remain competitive in their later years are extremely rare, and even them... they were absurd monsters in their prime who now look quite human. Old Gary would crush the field, by a wide margin. Now, he can still win the occasional game, but he is lucky if he doesn't get a last place finish in a tourney.

[@missionpupa]

@@sylver76 yeah, but everything you mentioned is not a consequence of age, its a consequence of bad lifestyle. So, just to clarify, im not saying that age is not a factor, I said age is not as a big of a factor compared to other sports, which is why Kasparov is able to beat Nakamura. You would not see current elite players in lets say basketball, football, tennis etc. to lose against someone in their 50's or 60's. That just doesnt happen in other sports.

[@elmascarilla4880]

Kasparov played directly to the final, that is his best strategy - where the experience is the determinant.

[@TonyFalcon76]

I love the way he comment the game and the gestures and mimic of kasparov, and i love naka too :)

[@hayian.e.3601]

for a second i taught im watching a boxing match. great commentator.

[@NotTheMaestro]

Love watching Kasparov play, you could see the intensity rocket once he felt he had a winning position.

[@anomalyp8584]

What a diamond of a match this was! Once again outstanding commentary!

[@Nick2014B]

Damn Garry is just such a naturally brilliant attacker his games are so fun to analyze

[@anthonyparks505]

Danya's impression of Garry Chess was uncanny, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing

[@olorin9349]

Probably the best end game that I have ever witnessed. Gary Kasparov (legend).

[@elevate32767]

Garry’s split-second glances at Hikaru are so funny

[@peng5997]

Garry Chess definitely knows the ins and outs of his game and this match shows it.

[@johnshanley83]

Daniel is great. The impersonation was spot on too! 😂

[@reidl4767]

Holy cow that commentary was so good

[@jccusell]

Love the commentary Love how Gary gets nervous. It is also an indication of excitement.

[@lchakrapani]

Amazing game by Garry! I grew up watching his games and he is incredible. He would have hit 2900 in his time as world champion if he had today’s computers to analyze games!

[@Arylist]

The move of 12:32 from Gary changed my life
