    The 9th Annual Linares Super Tournament held from February 22nd to March 15th, 1991 was a category XVII event. Fourteen of the world's top players, including the World Champion, competed in a round robin format that was the strongest tournament in the world at that time. The participants were (in order of ELO): Garry Kasparov (2800), Anatoli Karpov (2725), Boris Gelfand (2700), Vassily Ivanchuk (2695), Mikhail Gurevich (2650), Jaan Ehlvest (2650), Valery Salov (2645), Alexander Beliavsky (2640), Gata Kamsky (2640), Vishwanathan Anand (2635), Jan Timman (2630), Jonathan Speelman (2610), Artur Yusupov (2605), and Ljubomir Ljubojevic (2595). It was a second phenomenal victory for Ivanchuk who finished clear first with an impressive 9.5/13, even winning his head to head match with second place and world champion, Kasparov.

      I love Ivanchuk's games as much as Agadmator. His immortal against Kasparov is just some of the most incredible and beautiful chess. Definitely a game that will be loved for centuries to come I'd imagine. The way he just gave up his bishops so early throwing away all known chess strategy and then just slowly closes things down until Kasparov's bishops and everything else are just useless. Man I love that game so much. Gonna open it up in lichess again right now lol. And some of his other greats.

      When my oponent is low on time, i keep sacrificing pieces to throw them offguard.
      When low on time i premove the most obvious moves and i expect my opponent to do the same, so they are expecting a check on the king on the kingside, how about i sacrifice my Queen to a pawn on the Queen side on the opposite side of the board.
      BTW, read sacrifice as unexpected unintentional brilliancy which wins the game.

    With a mien of crafty slyness, Ivanchuk played 35. g4 ! The move has no real value, but the position was equal, both were in time trouble, it was therefore essential that Karpov believed Ivanchuk had a plan! So Ivanchuk faked it, in a certain sense, but he did have one! He wanted Karpov to blunder and play 35. .., Qf4 which seems to win a pawn and be without risk, since the g-pawn falls with check. Unfortunately Qf4 places Karpov in an inescapable mating net, easily executed. So Karpov resigned, fuming from gills, ears and nostrils - but polite as ever...

      agadmator's Chess Channel Well, it's pure guesswork on my part, but I looked at the position in Stockfish, and g4 doesn't do anything exept potentially loose a pawn. But it just might lure the Queen to f4, so perhaps. Let's ask Ivanchuk!

    @justintime2026 4 года назад +31

    All of Karpov's pieces were pretty much in a perfect spot to defend against white's attack so my guess is that Ivanchuk played g4 thinking that Karpov was essentially in a blitz zugzwang where he would have to think for a while in order to find a move that very slightly improves his position. It is very easy to throw the game away in that moment considering all of white's threats, and I think Ivanchuk knew this.

    Maybe he played g4 to be followed by g5. If h6 takes g5, then Qh3 looks threatening. If the pawn isn't taken, he can take black's h-pawn; then if gxh6 the g-pawn has a clearer path.

  • @chrisgroves4097
    @chrisgroves4097 4 года назад +6

    Maybe it was a neutral move to confuse Karpov. When you're very low on time you can still play very well if you have to react to something concrete e.g. a check or a mate threat. It's much more difficult if your opponent makes a neutral move like Ivanchuk did (or I have also seen random King moves) and you are the one who has to create something, you'll probably lose on time or make a cheap threat that yields nothing

    That was an interesting game for sure. It would've been nice if they had more time. I think the g4 was to play g5 next since Black's pieces are all defending and no active plan, W can try to pry open the h-file. If g5 hxg5 W might try Qh3 and B looks
    defenseless.

  • @jonathanruano4973
    @jonathanruano4973 4 года назад +2

    @agadmator I think Ivanchuk was going for g5, which would have resulted in h6xg5, thereby opening up the h file for the queen to cause mischief. You kind of hinted at it. The attack of the rook was not enough to destroy f6, because Karpov's queen can move to d8. But an attack of a g5 pawn + Ivanchuk's rook could have created a serious threat and forced Karpov to use up all his time to come up with a good defense. My guess is that Karpov freaked out over the possible g5 (after the pawn reached g4) and tried to stop it with Queen to f5. But then that gave Ivanchuk the opportunity to undermine Karpov's position in another way.

    G4 has multiple purpose, the first is to push forward, it can be hit only with h pawn as the other is pinned. Than move the rook to the open h file. It also makes more room to the king, supports queen with Outpost etc.

  • @ioanniskiousis6420
    @ioanniskiousis6420 6 лет назад

    The idea of g4!! was to furher push to g5. If hxg5, then Qh3 with an unstoppable open line. A winning move, enough to drive black to resignation (i analyzed all possible continuations, black lose in all of them).
    This move is a true gem, extremely well calculated and most importantly, very difficult to find. Especially considering that it was in a blitz game.
    Well played Vassily, well played...

  • @edwardtang3585
    @edwardtang3585 6 лет назад

    The g4 move is actually a very brilliant move that gives Karpov a chance to blunder. This move made Qf4 possible and seem logical, but it is a deadly trap even a master like Karpov would miscalculate. Ivanchuk knows Karpov is low on time and he knows that Karpov instinct would lead him into the trap. That is truly brilliant

    your monotonous baritone description of the game is exciting as tepid beer. I can't believe so many people commented on it. Shows how desperate are these characters to engage in this banter. I am chess enthusiast interested in learning how to think chess, not interested in a how master thought through 25 moves and how great masters are! When I am doing physics I want to know how what lead up Einstein to wonder about something rather than marvel at the amazing stuff he dreamed up . Remember all the great stuff of yesteryear is just first grade physics for us.
    I would appreciate analysis at each step not the d4 e5 stuff but if the night takes the pawn, the bishop is dead sort of talk.

    the great GM Ben Finegold said in his video lecture of this game that the g4 move is meant to just throw every last resource at the black king. obviously, if white's pawn gets to g5, you can't take with the pinned f pawn and if you take with the h pawn the white rook soon slides over to the h file, causing trouble for the black king. very much an Ivanchuk move though.

    I imagine G4 is to follow with G5 so that he can create a passed pawn on the right hand side. you have to capture twice for one piece and this makes it easier for the rook to come into play for white when trying to checkmate.

  • @vaderasss
    @vaderasss 6 лет назад

    Funny, I paused the video before the g4 move and i chose the same g4 move. One reason is to trick the queen to come close for the 2 pawns, as the case that happened, the other is to overcome the white deadlock on the kingside by opening the h file (the f file cannot be opened - the pawn is pinned) and continuing an attack on the king through the h file. After black queen makes the Qf4 move, Black didn't need this beatiful analysis of yours to resign, the reasoning was much simpler; After white Qxd5, Black gets checkmated on TWO different ranks on different colors, the 7th (Qf7) and 8th (Qd8) rank, so whatever he does, he can't guard both with the rook (queen is out of position), so the resign.

    • @ismailmojeeb5469
      @ismailmojeeb5469 2 года назад

      No, the black queen sitting on f4 is not out of position, there's this black queen to c7 response to white's queen d5 pawn take, this defends both d8 and f7. Watch the last part of the video again... I think agadmator made a mistake in his analysis when he says, " 12:22 this is completely lost for karpov ( black ) ", when actually there is a qxf7 move. Karpov must have ran out of time or else qxf7 makes everything fine for black.

    You're correct in your analysis that the pawn cannot be grabbed, but black is not just losing the rook if he does, Qxg6 loses the game on the spot. Qd8+ follows, and if Qe8, Qxe8 is checkmate, and if Kf7, Re7 is checkmate. It's mate in two if the pawn is grabbed.
