#agadmator Garry Kasparov:
If Topalov had not taken the Rook, the game could have finished in a draw: Veselin would have had half a point more, I - half a point less. He would have win a little bit, I would have lost a little bit, but chess and chess amateurs would have lost a lot. However, Caissa was kind to me that day.. . I do not know what I was rewarded for, but the development of events became forced after the capture on d4.

7:50 Why not Topalov pawn to A5? Probably wouldn't accomplish much at that point, but perhaps it would buy some much needed tempo for Topalov to respond to Kasparov's attack 🤷‍♂️ I'm an 1100, so forgive me if this is a stupid mistake/proposition.

Kasparov had good reason to be doubtful. Topalov blundered with 31. Kxa3. The correct line of defense would have been: 31. .... Rd1+. 32. Kb2 Rh8. This saves the h8 rook from being captured later and defends mate on Qa6.

Can someone explain to me the difference between Pirc and King's Indian? Whenever I watch GM Daniel Naroditsky he always says Pirc is a poor defense, yet he says KI is a great defense... But to do a KI you first need to do a Pirc, especially if white opens with E5. If you didn't do D6 after E5 opening and instead moved your knight to F6, then white can just move pawn to E6 and your knight is busted. I have not been able to find any valid reason why Pirc is bad and KI is good even though they are basically the same thing, and to do KI you first need to do Pirc.. Help? :(

in the hypothetical check around 6 mins in he could have blocked w queen instead, forcing a trading of pieces in which he would come out with a two rooks, equal number of pawns, against bishop endgame
Franco Jose Muertes

at 6:00 the bishop on h3 would just pickup the queen, blocking with the knight/rook looses the queen as well and at 6:12 knight to c6 would be checkmate. He couldn't prevent it otherwise.

Very serious question : when Gary played Rxe4 until the very end this game, there were many mind boggling variations. Are you suggesting he saw them all in the 12 minutes you say he spent on the Rxe4 move? I'm a 2000 player, but I can't fathom a yes answer. Really. That's just too many variations. I'm hoping you tell me he "it looked very promising" and proceeded on faith and experience. Thanks.

It's really hard to imagine that anyone can see so far in the future and predict all the moves including that one near the end when the white queen gobbles the black rook on h8!!! But that's why we have chess geniuses such as Fisher, Kasparov, Magnus, and the like. I am happy that I saw a couple of great moves such as 36. Bf1 and 37. Rd7, but I was still missing lots of other important moves in the whole combination.

7:03 why not eat pawn with bishop? like that the queen would still protect his pawn on a6
Alex Liang
5 days ago
because after Bxd5, Kasparov just plays Kb2. The intention is to go Qb3, Bxb3, and then cxb3#. That is unstoppable.
Marc Rover

Okay, I'm a novice, but I have to say, at 7:07, I'm pretty sure he (black) would have been better-off capturing the pawn at D5 w/ his Bishop, as opposed to his queen. If he captures with his bishop, he has another defender in the area for his king. (Then he'd have Q at D6, and B at D5.) Instead, he left the Bishop in the corner doing absolutely nothing, aside from collecting some dust.

Bxd5 is a blunder. After Kb2, there is no defense to Qb3+ leading to checkmate.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what about, at 1:26, Queen to e6? Then the queen is still covering the Be2 and is also not hanging? Then if Bishop attacks there is a queen exchange in favor of Black in the works as the works, which, if taken, leaves, white down a fair bit of material, and if the d1 rook covers the queen on e1 there is a checkmate possibility a few moves away. If the rook stays on d1 then it could potentially end up with a rook/queen swap situation that will further cement the deal?

second move Kasparov should've played palm (dont know what it's called sorry) to g3 and played the queen to a4 but I realized the queen could've blocked the move or the bishop so I won't really consider it

8:25 i feel like Topalov can do something here. For example: ...Rd1+ Kb2 Qd4+ and white is forced to catch or lose the queen Qxd4 Rxd4 and black here is perfectly fine, no immediate mate threat, 2 rooks vs 1 roock and 1 bishop. I think black has a chance this way. Am I missing something?
Don Perona

oh shit ur right. Rb6 wasnt the best move.
RawPeds

@Don Perona 3 ..Ra7 4. Bc6 axb4 5. Bxb5+ Ka5 Bxb5 is no mate. The king can move and actually attacks both white pieces. I guess then 6. Rb8 It the only way to save them both. How to continue with black is uncertain. Thanks for committing till this point. I think we can stop now :)
Don Perona
23 days ago
1. Rb6, Ra8 2. Bc8, a5 3. Bb7, if Rb8 4. Ra6 and Rxa5 is unstoppable. if 3..Ra7 4. Bc6, axb runs into 5. Bxb5# if. 3..Rdd8 4. Bc6, black has go give his rook to stop Bxb5# with Rdd5, then after 5.Bxd5, black has to guard the same threats, 5..Rc8 runs into 6. Ra6, and Rxa5# is unstoppable. 3. Ba6 is winning too, but goddamn typing and calculating is hard asf so thats for later
Don Perona

Bb7. Jeez, i commented Bxb5# earlier getting so far ahead in my calculation lol my bad.

Still no mate threat. If white captures with rook, black rook recaptures. If white captures with bishop, black rook does not recapture and covers the column. By the way i'd go ...a5 going for a pawn trade.
