Follow MprooV on Twitter twitter.com/mproovapp #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.

Topalov really didn't give up, that's pretty cool
-
Me vs kasparov Kasparov : sacrifies queen in middle of game. Me : resign the game.
-
"This is the position that Topalov saw but he didn't see the pawn move" - what a noob, not seeing that pawn move that was only 5 years into the future.
-
Me: What about Rook to D6 Host: You can do Rook to D6 but you lose the game. Me: oh, okay
-
What a fool Topalov was, couldn't even predict losing his Queen just 50 moves ahead
-
Wonder if Kasparov can also predict the weather
-
" You see, It takes two players to play a great game."
-
Garry Kasparov: Yes, I had to see the rook was hanging on h8 to play it. The moment I played 24.Rxd4 I visualized the position after 37.Rxd7. Not every single move or variation between, of course, but that final key moment came to me like lightning. (19.5.2021)
-
Kasparov: *leaves the table to think of lines in his head* Me: *Forgets the position of a piece thinking 2 moves ahead whilst staring at the board*
-
The timing to resign with his king sitting on the opponent’s throne was perfect 😊
-
That game felt more like a 40 move combination to pick up the a8 rook
-
Does anybody else just love this channel He seems so nice and humble, and also he is a great commentator
-
Starting to feel the motivation to learn some chess. Love the vids easy to understand and enganging. coming from someone with no chess background at all
-
Me : makes the first move Kasparov : looks at the ceiling Me : resigns you know if you know!
-
It’s just mind-boggling how many moves and permutations/combinations Kasparov could see in advance. And not just this (truly immortal) game.
-
I ran this through an engine and Topalov still had the draw for a while. This is the best game of chess ever played.
-
Did Kasparov really predict capturing that h8 rook so many moves before?
-
"Queen is not a horse, she's a lady" This game just reminds me of Mato commentary haha.
-
Commentator: this will work because a gazillion moves later your rook will be in the wrong place Me: aha.
-
An entire anime can be made on this game. Where the main character is always "Just as planned"
