  1. At 13:46, perhaps even better than Kasparov's actual choice would be the preliminary 40. … Rxe6, and if 41. Qxe6, only then Kasparov's combination of 41. … Qa7+ 42. Kh1 Bxg2+ 43. Kxg2 Nd4+, which would win the Queen. (Obviously not 40. … Qa7+ 41. Kh1 Rxe6??? when 42. Qc8+ would make Karpov the winner and still champion!)

  2. 💙💜🤍💙💜🤍

  3. I can't believe I actually paused, thought about the position and found the solution. After only 2 weeks of playing moderately and watching your channel

  4. When Levy said "the game of chess" I automatically hear "is like a sword fight. You must think first, before you move".

  5. At 13.52 why don't u take the bishop King takes back and fork king and queen with knight

  6. 18/3/2022 , lovely game and its really like a sling shot

  7. Please, PLEASE someone tell me why can't you just trade the bishop on 13:47, so when the king captures you move the knight and make a fork to the queen or the rook, WHY can't you do that

  8. Hes not seting pieces for the next game lol

  9. For some weird reason en passant for me seems that has the same logic like off side in football (or soccer) its like a rule that says, ok now you re too late to push the pawn so far, i have already covered some distance with mine, you cant do that

  10. Levy: describes this is not a history class
    Also levy: describes the history literally better than my history teacher

  11. World Chess Championships' took place at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London, from 8 October to 4 November 2000 : Vladimir Kramnik won against Garry Kasparov and became the 14th World Chess Champion

  12. 03:11

    I was gonna take his word for it but when he said it was a dutch word i realized he was mispronouncing it so badly I didn’t recognize it and even then i had to double check it

    The correct pronunciation is as follows (not that it matters)

    Word: Scheveningen (a city name)

    Ch: like in rachmaninov
    First e is pronounced like ay
    Ve is pronounced like “le” in french but with a v instead of an L
    “Ningen” is pronounced like ning+ an extra “n” like you would say “the letter n” but with less emphasis

    Thank you for listening to my ted talk

  13. 14:20 I would have took the queen but then the chaos that follows next…I lose my bishop and the Eval goes M7 for white and my girlfriends breaking up with me and my manager is planning to fire me

  14. Queen at f2 he was suppose to move that over to h4 and attack the king like that

  15. 13:16 there was a win for karpov
    Pawn g6 then rook h7
    King has to move g then rook b6 wins aqueen

  16. If you don't play against Kasparov, you can't lose, and that's just as good.

  17. Najdorf – the J is not silent. It just sounds like a Y.

  18. This is exciting, I appreciate how you're giving this life.

  19. I would love a whole channel narrating historical games. Kasparov vs. Deep Blue might be kind of cool.

  20. The writing is in the way, so it's garbage!

  21. I met Garry Chess once. He showed up, exclaimed “it’s chessin’ time” and continued to chess everyone off the board.

    I wish I had more of the story but as they say, chess speaks for itself

  22. Currently watching this video jn September 2023 …. Thanks Levy ❤

  23. Yeah you made "some" of these Videos. I'm watching this in 2023
