Garry Kasparov's Most Memorable Moments | Part 1 | Final Game Against Karpov | 1987.

hello everyone and welcome to one of the most exciting thrillers in chess history now again Kasparov gave an interview for The New Yorker I think it was about two weeks ago the interview is about four of his most memorable moments over the chessboard I will put a link to the entire interview in the description below so you can check it out but I thought it was it had some video making potentials so I decided to make four videos about four of these different memorable moments so this is a memorable moment number one and it's his famous match against Anatoly Karpov as you all know Garry Kasparov won the World Chess Championship in 1985 he took it from Anatoly Karpov and this is their 1987 rematch in Seville and this is game 24 so this is the final game of the match and as you can see in the quote about the board Kasparov says Caixa the goddess of chess had punished me for my conservative play for betraying my nature and this is him talking about the previous game game 23 I work as part of as he explains that made one of the greatest blunders of his life and suffered a case of complete chess blindness so this is game 24 he has the white pieces and if he wants to win this game he has to he has to do something for her because for the past 23 games the result is still in karpova's favor so definitely you know requiring nerves nerves of steel would be an understatement here and as Perot also says the last person who managed to win the last game of the championship to retain the title was actually Emmanuel Lasker in 1910 when he was playing against college life there and she left her had a you know a reasonable position and then all of a sudden she like that just started playing aggressively and in the end Alaska managed to defend and won that game why he started to play aggressively that's a you know people don't know and some historians are even considering that maybe a draw wasn't enough for Elektra to win the title maybe he had to actually had a positive score or something and but okay let's get back to this game so as part of in this game opens with c4 and as Kasparov says to win this game I had to I had to try something new I had to try something not only that I would be comfortable comfortable with but also something that I knew a karpova would be uncomfortable uncomfortable with so Kasparov said in this game I decided to play against Karpov like Karpov so casparo opens with C for the English opening we have e 6 d AG in court defense Knight to f3 Knight to f6 G 3 we have D 5 and now B 3 here you can see that Kasparov is ready to be in shadow both of his bishops Bishop to e7 by Karpov and here Kasparov could have seized some space in the center by actually pushing D for let's say Bishop b2 c5 now and after e3 Knight to c6 that point is staying on d4 so it's definitely a good position for black but instead as he knew that Kasparov prepared for this game he played Bishop to e7 Bishop to g2 we have castles castles and now b6 as park our Pope wants the play Bishop to b7 to oppose Kasparov strong bishop and g2 so the ship to be 2 we have Bishop to be 7 and now III Knight B to d7 Knight to c3 and Knight to e4 here cuz para carful offers some exchanges in the center and Kasparov isn't interested because para ver declines the trade plays Knight to e2 and here we have a 5 d 3 and now Bishop to f6 Karpov finds a way to exchange pieces as now if you capture the night then Bishop captures Bishop on b2 so Queen to c2 defending the bishop on b2 and now Bishop captures Queen captures and Knight comes to d6 now and if you look at this position I mean you're playing against Karpov look at all the squares his Knights are covering in the center this is this is pretty terrible this is some Sun control and you have to win this game so far I mean your position is ok but it's not so it's not looking like you're gonna win this game cuz power play the C capture Sun b5 we have Bishop captures on d5 and now d4 see by Karpov rook to d1 roped the c8 and now Knight to f4 Bishop captures an f3 Bishop captures and now Queen to e7 developing the Queen also ready to develop the other route rook the c1 by Kasparov and now rook F to e 8 by Karpov and now both players have mobilized all of their pieces and still the position is roughly equal how is part of gonna win this and retain his title well we'll just have to watch and see he played the D captures on c5 Knight captures on c5 and now he pushed before he wants to destroy this connected pawn chain Karpov has on the Queen side ache after some before Queen captures on b4 and now Queen to a7 both players now have a nice pawn on the Queen side Karpov immediately placed Queen to be a queen to a7 going for the a to pawn we have a three the queen is now defending the pawn and nice to f5 rook to be one threatening to capture the rock on e8 and then capture the pawn on d6 so we had rook captures rook captures and now Queen to c7 here Sparrow plays Knight to d3 what was the idea here a carpel definitely can exchange here and it would be it would be probably sorry it would be in his favour to exchange this night but first he decided to play h6 he won't he wants to create some breathing space for the King so there won't be any back back rank complications later so h6 and here coz power plays rook to see one now pinning that night we have Knight to e7 and queen to b5 now Knights back to f5 as now Karpov wants to again play Knight to d6 what a tempo and caused part of his Queen cause power plays a 4 and now Knight to d6 Queen back to be 1 and now Queen to a7 again and this is a this is the crucial moment of the game Karpov plays Queen to a7 there's a double attack on the a4 pawn and as part of has to do something there really it's it's a hard decision to make and here Kasparov played Knight to e5 he offers the pawn on f4 of course you can't capture with the Queen because queen captures and b6 but you can capture with the night and here maybe just like maybe just like in the collector game against the manual ask her Karpov could have completely ignored this he could have just moved the rock rock f8 rook e8 but he actually decided to play Knight captures on a4 III don't think Karpov actually wanted to go for a win here I just think he thought that he has the time to grab it and then go back with the night and that it will be easier for him to draw the game but ok Karpov plate and Knight captures on a4 here we have rook captures on c8 we had Knight captures on c8 and this is another critical moment of the game here as part of hasn't calculated everything but something something very weird happened here the the arbiter that was you know watching the game he tapped Kasparov on the back and he said Mr Prospero you have to write down the moves because Kasparov was so deep in thought he forgot to write down his previous two moves so you know and when you're calculating variations in chess you don't want anyone distracting you so I mean you're calculating a variation here that will either we knew the world change championship or it won't so any distractions are not welcome but ok that did happen and here Kasparov played Queen to d1 and the Queen to d1 is a is a good move but he actually had a winning move this is something Kasparov felt when he sacrificed the pawn but he didn't find it now whether he would find it if the arbiter didn't tap him on the back that's a different question but the move he missed because I will explain what he played Queen d1 but the move he missed was actually Queen to b5 keeping an eye on this night on a4 also threatening Queen to e8 check picking up the night and also the Queen from EA twould be controlling f7 square and Knight is ready to capture on f7 so here king 2h7 not allowing this check but Queen to e8 nevertheless now Knight to d6 attacking the Queen and also defending the f7 pawn queen to e8 and this Queen to e8 this is the move Kasparov probably missed when he was when he was calculating the Queen to b5 move because now the Queen is attacking the knight at the black queen there is no square from where the black Queen can defend the night and here if you play it Knight to a5 or something to defend the night it's all over Knight to c6 attacking the Queen and the knight is protected by the bishop on f3 Queen has to move and now comes g4 and black loses a piece if you move the piece then comes Bishop check 96 and now Knight to e7 will discover the attack on the Queen and also there is a threat of Queen - Queen to g8 checkmate so when you play something like h5 you don't even have to take the Queen it's a force checkmate Bishop captures pawn captures and now Queen here King here and f4 and there is no defense either against the g5 checkmate or Queen to h8 checkmate so this is the idea power of mist after this Knight captures on c8 he didn't find Queen to b5 rather he played Queen to d1 but he thought this comes with the same idea he's still eyeing the night on a4 he's still threatening rook to d8 would check winning the night but there is a difference now it's Queen to d8 and it's not Queen to e8 so this gives carp of a great opportunity to defend but unfortunately for Karpov here Karpov misses the best defensive move and I will show you the move but only after I show you the game so this is move 33 and here Karpov played Knight to e7 and that best defensive move that Karpov didn't find Kasparov didn't see it during the game they found it only after the game when they analyzed it so Queen to d8 check King h7 and now Knight captures on f7 because part of grabs upon we have Knight to g6 guarding the H H square and now Queen to e8 we have Queen to e7 offering a trade of Queens so either you trade Queens or the Queen moves and then card for grabs tonight so Kasparov plays Queen captures on a4 we have Queen captures on f7 and now Bishop to e4 pinning that night and improving the position of the bishop as it was attacked on f3 so King to g8 on pinning and now Queen to b5 attacking the b6 pawn there's no way to defend it if you move the Queen Queen then Kasparov will grab the knight on g6 so night to f8 and now comes Queen captures on b6 and this is move 40 the game was adjourned in this position so it will be continued tomorrow and you know those were the good old days when you could continue games there were no engines to help you and Kasparov spend the entire night trying to find any winning ideas here but he just couldn't so he does have a better position and as Kasparov says he can play this position forever because black doesn't have any chances it's either he will win or or it will be a draw but because only white can play for a win here but another interesting thing as you'll see in the in the interview if you check it out in the description when Kasparov came the next day to the chess game and they were about to continue this game he came a bit early and when he saw Karpov approaching the stage he saw on Karpov face and in his body language that because that Karpov actually thought that he couldn't defend this position against Kasparov and the Kasparov says it was actually in that moment that he knew that he had winning chances so here Queen to f6 by Karpov Queen to b5 we have Queen to e7 and King to g2 as power of says maybe some of these moves are meaningless but you know we don't have an infinite time to try and find a move and another thing is it gives Karpov a chance to blunder so here already g6 is played and g6 is an inaccuracy you don't want to touch any of the pawns the pawns are nicely on dark squares you just want to play something like tonight d7 right back to f8 simply keep the position as it is even if because probably something like this would be one to eight to to try and pin at this point and maybe push f4 f5 Karpov can always simply move King h8 so here Karpov played g6 Kasparov played Queen to a5 again we have Queen to g7 Queen back to c5 Queen to f7 and now Kasparov pushed h4 and this is the magical moments in the game where Karpov pushes age 5 and when Kasparov saw h5 he knew that he was gonna that I mean if he's not gonna win this game after age 5 then he doesn't deserve to be world champion because now as he says it the pawn structure is fixed and he can exchange Queens and this endgame Bishop against Knight being upon up is winning for white so Queen to a5 c6 we have Queen to e7 Bishop to d3 now Queen back to f7 Queen to d6 now a Karpov doesn't really have anything to do here he's just repeating moves and he has to see if Casper will think of something King to g7 we have E for now King to g8 Bishop to c4 King to g7 25 check King moves now Queen back to d6 King back to g7 Bishop to b5 King to g8 Bishop to c6 Queen to a7 now and here Queen to b4 Queen back to c7 Queen to b7 now Sparrow offers the trade of Queens Queen to d8 and now comes G 5 we have Queen to a5 Bishop to eh and this is that this is that very nice moment we have Queen to c5 and now Queen to f7 check King to h8 and now Bishop to a for Queen to d5 check King goes to h2 Queen to c5 Bishop to b3 we have Queen to c8 Bishop to d1 now Queen to c5 and King to g2 and para says that after he played Queen to g2 that he felt that he was gonna win this game the like in another 10 moves because the plan is relatively clear but he didn't even have to because it was actually in this position that Karpov resigned at the game the score was 12 12 to 12 in the second world chess championship rematch and has power retained his title why did Carper resign here because now let's say Queen d5 check now you play Bishop f3 Queen moves now I have Bishop to e4 going for the g6 pawn Queen to b4 attacking the bishop now King to h2 not allowing this to be captured with check now Queen captures then Queen captures night here this will be winning so let's say well okay let's show it if Queen captures then Queen captures here and after King moves then Queen f7 check King h8 and now Queen captures on e6 this has been two pawns up and like it doesn't have any counter play so after King to h2 let's say maybe even Queen c5 but now comes King h3 Queen before back and now f3 you don't want to grab that g6 pawn just yet Queen to c5 now Bishop captures on g6 knife captures Queen captures and after Queen captures on e5 Queen age sex check King to g8 and now Queen to g5 check and now you see that the Kasparov forces a trade of Queens being upon up this is completely winning Queen catch Queen g7 or Queen captures it's all the same Queen character skin captures and now after g4 and a couple of more moves you can see that this is this is the D ending result and this will be completely winning so yeah after King to g2 carpet resign the game and you know it's a very very important moment in chess history yeah I forgot to show you this is this is a photo of them from this game yeah I took it from this article from The New Yorker as you can see here you know quite intensive both of them young both of them eager eager to play good chess and to become the world champion and another thing I have for you is this this is their overall lifetime record in classical games as you can see as part of beat em Polycarp of 2821 so far 1:28 against Karpov 21 and they drew a hundred and twenty-one times so as you can see that that's a pretty big rivalry that's lasted for like for like forever and I don't think there's there's been a rivalry like that ever in chess history so both of them played amazingly and it was always by like this that Kasparov managed to gain the title and to retain it so yeah that's it that's the first part of memorable moments from the video I do hope you enjoyed it I would like to thank Adam lever and Joseph Weinstein for a contribution to my channel thank you a lot I really appreciate it I'll probably make more videos like this you know part 2 3 & 4 but we'll see so yeah as usual you can check too on my previous videos here thank you all for watching and I will see you soon
