This is one of my favorite Kasparov attacks as black: absolutely devestating against one of the finest defenders in chess history. Thank you for highlighting the greatest rivalry in chess.

Karpov and Kasparov were the ultimate rivals. Two exceptional talents with totally different styles. To me Karpov’s style is very disciplined and precise whereas Kasparov was more abstract and adventurous. I only wish Fischer was still there too at that time.

Excellent attacking game by Kasparov !!! Very instructive !! Great commentary as usual !!

[banzaiburger]

What a bizarre game this was. Just beyond my comprehension

[eonny]

Good one. Thanks for keeping short and concise.

[englishguy]

The more I learn about Karpov the more I respect him so the fact that Garry could ein like this with black is very impressive

[peterquinones]

Surely the most venomous, hate filled rivalry in chess history was between Karpov and Korchnoi.

Kasparov in his prime was alekhine 2.0….he could find and play 15 straight only winning move in a game, check out his attack against Topalov in his immortal game.

I like your videos. Thank you for making them!!! 😮😊😅

Kasparov was so very alert to all possible tactical motifs that confirms the saying that the winner sees a move or two better than the loser. Funny tho' how Gary was freaked out by the computer that could see way farther than he could. That was a bit of role reversal for Gary. Good show as always.

Of course, the REAL source of tension between Karpov and Kasparov is that their last names were too similar.

Cover some of the candidates matches plz

[TruthSurge]

totally off topic but... for laughs, play this at .5 or .25 speed. Drunk chessdawg. HEHEHEH

Karpov was in his 40's when he played this game. I think he. In his prime, was better. Look at their first WCM. Karpov was crushing him.

The greatest attacking player ever was Tal

[stevenjohnston]

No. That would be Paul Morphy followed by Mikail Tal.

It's like music. The music you grew up with is the music you think is the greatest. That said (about music) a study once found in terms of feel good harmony the music of earlier ages was better than later ages, progressively, meaning music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. 00s, 10s, 20s got progressively worse. And I tend to agree, though I don't listen to much music. You notice how Rihanna now is doing country rather than rap because it's trendy? Well country is basically 50s music. As for chess, who's the greatest? Kasparov of course. And you can guess my age by that comment. Peace!

Better to resign then to get smothered with gravy

[JimJWalker]

Karpov scored 19 wins, 21 losses, and 104 draws in 144 world championship games. Hardly a domination by Kasparov. Actually, I would say that the 2 win advantage is statistically insignificant.

[tudvalstone]

Hard to get over the fact that Kasparov is a clown.
