My Favorite Chess Games No. 4 - Kramnik Vs. Kamsky 1994 English Opening

This is a brilliant game between Vladimir Kramnik and Gata Kamsky played in 1994 during candidates match for the world championship. I didn't see any other videos made on this amazingly brilliant game. I think I read somewhere that this was among Magnus Carlsen's favorite chess games ever. The game starts in an english opening and ends with the board on fire!

In the future I will probably make a longer version of this video going DEEP into every variation.
