Game Kasparov - Radjabov: Kasparov resigned, that is true. But we should know how he did it! The former World Champion left the room and didnt come back in his time.
@@ewaklee6443 Technically you can call it cheating. but it was just not following touch and move, and that too for one move in the whole game. It's not that he was taking help from someone or deliberately pressurized her or anything. That's what would actually be called cheating.
@@ChessCafe-il3od i always wonder if ppl who explain it is okay to let go of a piece and then move it somewhere else are just ignorant or against the whole idea of women slaying male gms left and right. Girl was 17 ! played the world champion in a game hosted by the Hungarian chess federations that had a lot off issues with the polgars and their dad especially and that young woman player nut pressure on him. If the Rook was placed his position wouldn't be all lost, but Judit could have won it. It might have changed the energy in future games, the standing of women competing in chess at a top level but they decided to keep on that toxic environment chess at that level was and still is (us youth) by letting the big boy cheat. And there is video of it. For that he is a brick! At least there is that rapid (?) game. .... So long way of asking, but are you more of the simple fanboy flavour or come heavy as misogynistic troll?
@@ewaklee6443 Well well well, you speak of mysogynistic troll but from your comment it looks like you're the mysandrist troll here. I never claimed it was the right thing or the morally correct thing to do as a world champion. You explained the situation of how difficult it was for Polgar sisters and women in general in chess, which is correct. But I don't think Kasparov was thinking about all these. Maybe he didn't want to lose against a child especially a girl which you pointed out. It is very plausible. My only objection was when people call out the term "cheating", it's as if referring to taking help from someone to beat the other player, like in today's era computer cheaters are there. Not following touch and move rule for one single move out of the whole game, is illegal in the laws of chess, but it is not cheating IMHO. You may call it cheating as much as you want. But any sensible player who'll come to know about the act and who doesn't have hatred against Kasparov, will clearly reject the idea that it was anywhere near to cheating.
Vasyl is Ukrainian version of the name, when Vasiliy is a russian variant. A lot of people from Ukraine change their names because of the russian agression. You may notice that Alexander Usik is also now Olexander because of the same reason.

Ben, if you see this, would you possibly be interested in examining the reverse French? AKA 1.e3? Or even just give some thoughts here, also open question to the other viewers and commenters... If the French defense is good, does it not mean that the reverse is at least playable, if not a "good" opening?
if Rxd5 then Nf4, Rd4 (only move to keep your rook) and Nxg2 wins because Rxg2 results in mate with Rf1 Bxf1 Rxf1 (the Rook on g2 is pinned by the Bishop on b7)
18:00 Why not play Nxd5 here to win a pawn (can't take rook, because queen is hanging) and get rid of black's bishop that's coming to life? Rook isn't hanging after Bxd5 Rxd5
It's better than the line in the game but black wins the exchange by force anyway 1. Nxd5 Bxd5 2. Rxd5 Nf4 3. Rd4 (only move) Qc5 (or b6/a7) and any rook move other than takes on f4 results in checkmate after Nxd3 e.g. 4. Rd7 Nxd3 5. Rxd3 Qxg1+ 6. Kxg1 Rf1#
Bozo Finegold always pronounces "Winawer" as WINN a war. Atrocious. Finger down throat. There are many sites online that give proper pronunciations. It's Polish. Szymon Winawer is probably SEE monn Vee NAH vuhr.
I have to admit that those were very nice games where insanely skillful players got confused and beat, like an average Pokémon without a protagonist behind them. Go, French Defense! But stay there 🫷🏾
The best victory you can get in the French Defense is to play a different opening instead.
Hey you could get an alien gambit bonjour variation win
hate the French def
Lol
Stockfish estimate it as a best response to 1.e4
Get well soon, Tom's dad!
Game Kasparov - Radjabov:
Kasparov resigned, that is true. But we should know how he did it!

Winning the Hikaru Nakamura sportsmanship award, back then named the Garry Kasparov sportsmanschip award.
Kasparov cheated 17years old (?) Polgar in their first match, so ..

This was excellent! Thank you Ben! Thank you sponsors!
I was sure you were going to include Reshevsky-Vaganian, 1976 but what do i know. The game shown were fun and instructive. Thx for the lecture.
Vasyl is Ukrainian version of the name, when Vasiliy is a russian variant. A lot of people from Ukraine change their names because of the russian agression. You may notice that Alexander Usik is also now Olexander because of the same reason.
That's cool to know. I love usyk and lomachenko
Thx Tom
speedy recovery Tom's dad..
Always play king B1. Always take out the garbage.
Ben I like your calmness when you play!

Great players of the present : Daniil Dubov

Great players of the present : Baadur Jobava
Great players of the present : Baskaran Adhiban
Great players of the present : Levon Aronian
Great players of the past : Topalov
Best wins against Magnus Carlsen
Openings : Halloween Gambit
Openings : Muzio Gambit
Before 1961? That is the year of my birth. Ben, it is likely that I began playing chess before you were born which was 1968.
Finally something on the French!
Looking forward to the lesson 🙏🏿
Thank you Ben your the best always puts me with a smile 😁
Man i love the french
Re.Fischer-Kovacevic: it was rumoured/reported that the Russians at the event were advising Kovacevic through Petrosian's wife (How Fischer Plays Chess, David Levy)
The answer is: French fries.
You with the wrong answer!
Someone gave Ben peanut butter to make it look like he was talking to humans
Kasparov vs. Ivanchuk had a lot of retreating like a Frenchman.
Ben, if you see this, would you possibly be interested in examining the reverse French? AKA 1.e3? Or even just give some thoughts here, also open question to the other viewers and commenters... If the French defense is good, does it not mean that the reverse is at least playable, if not a "good" opening?
GM Ben: "It's not boring. It's exciting. Both sides do what they want to do."
Licheat "player": "Oh no, the boring french again." ... exd5...
At 18:03, can white not play Rxd5? Because if bishop takes we have the same knight fork Ben mentioned before? I can't see why that wouldn't work.
if Rxd5 then Nf4, Rd4 (only move to keep your rook) and Nxg2 wins because Rxg2 results in mate with Rf1 Bxf1 Rxf1 (the Rook on g2 is pinned by the Bishop on b7)
Vasyl is Ukrainian version for rusian "Vasily". Ukraine became independent from the soviet rusia in 1991 so Ivanchuk just caught up with the change.
I wonder if, left alone to pick the games, Ben would have shown the first game of the match between Alekhine and Capablanca.
18:00 Why not play Nxd5 here to win a pawn (can't take rook, because queen is hanging) and get rid of black's bishop that's coming to life? Rook isn't hanging after Bxd5 Rxd5
It's better than the line in the game but black wins the exchange by force anyway 1. Nxd5 Bxd5 2. Rxd5 Nf4 3. Rd4 (only move) Qc5 (or b6/a7) and any rook move other than takes on f4 results in checkmate after Nxd3 e.g. 4. Rd7 Nxd3 5. Rxd3 Qxg1+ 6. Kxg1 Rf1#
Indeed white pieces were on the Bacrot in Garry - Vasyl game just like any frenchman woukd do
All people play today is the exchange.
Sweet.
Why not show Bronsteins win in french or Grichuk
!
For our lower rated viewers which is all of you...... 😭 Why you do me like that
First
Ah yes the AHH .. UHM .. AHHH lecture.
Is something wrong with Ben's brain?
