Very nice game about two legends with exemplary commentary. Thanks GM. Pl intermittently post us legends game too 🎉❤

I can picture Gary wearing his watch and Anand having no choice but to resign. For those that don't know, Gary had a couple of flag moves that meant that he was winning and resignation was imminent. There is a funny anecdote where a strong GM (I forget his name) was completely demolished by Gary in an otherwise equal position and in the press conference the GM said that Gary made one of his usual moves that signified that he was winning. The GM was so demoralised that he lost his position soon after. Seemed like an excuse to me, but it could very well be true. Don't forget that Gary was like a god back then, he had something like 100 points distance from the second best and more than 150 from the 3rd. Practically speaking he was winning all the time with white and had some draws with black. Total monster.

This game I believe was more about their upcoming world championship match in that it forced Anand to spend many hours of time preparing for this opening which Garry never actually then used in the match .

Thank you for featuring this game! I've gone over it a few times already but learned much from your commentary.

Garry was a monster, Vishy was not yet the tiger from Madras. Thanks Daniel.

Wonderful DK and I will be trying Kagi this week

I know this game by memory, one of only a few I know. I play the Evans whenever I can and run into this line (..ed, Qxd4) from time to time,

[andyproudfoot]

First. When I was even younger I used to play the Evans! 🙂

Hello, Mr Daniel King GM, ...why some top players are very rarely playing e4 like Aronian?

[peterberger]

Very good video. But the thumbnail picture?

And after Kasparov's next move, Vishy slammed his fist down onto the table, stood up and exclaimed, "WTF Garry! You can't move the rook diagonally!"

[nonavailable]

Honestly i paused and after few seconds, i presumed it must have been Rac1, followed by Nxe6 then Bc4 ! winning in all variations .

[kevinwinter]

Garry the greatest of all time, even Magnus acknowledges that !

could we have a photo of Kasparov and Anand in 1995?

[luigiaa]

8:58 Why Nc3 and not Bg7 with a double threat B:h8 and B:e5?

Agadmator should run here to watch this masterpiece.

And also get a glimpse of the game.

Hate to criticise a former world champion and a great of the game but Anand’s play in the opening was very weak.

[LateCloser]

I think Gary is responsible for influencing more chess players opening choices than any other player in the history of the game. Think of all the gambits played after this one. :)

[jozefserf]

Kasparov was always a good player but it cannot be overstressed that he usually had a great team behind him.
He won so many games mainly through opening preparation.
Kramnik was one of his helpers and knew exactly what to do when they faced off.

I found Re1, ....because you told me the winning move existed
