      That's not a nicety, it's a tradition. That's how the beginning of a game is signified. It's like bowing to your opponent in martial arts. It is done regardless of circumstance or kindness. To not do so would be extremely disrespectful and would likely incur a lot of hatred and loss of respect for the player who acted that way.

    • @siphillis
      @siphillis 3 года назад +136

      The whole section with Kasparov is misleading.
      In reality, Kasparov was quite enamored by Magnus' skill, and flew down to Norway to spend some time with his family. Years later, Kasparov would coach Magnus for a year, ironing out some of his aggressive tendencies, while sharpening his instincts for piece dynamics. Kasparov has stated his approval of Magnus as the ambassador of the game, and feels he should absolutely be in the conversation for best ever.
      The insinuation that Kasparov feared or reviled Magnus is a fabricated storyline by CBS.

      @@siphillis I did not get that interpretation from the program. Kasparov simply offered the draw and time running out, Magnus accepted. Kasparov then simply got up and walked off, taken by the youngsters play (as evidenced by the head shake during the game). At the time, Kasparov would not fear anyone sitting across from him at a chess match, and would not give a child enough thought to revile him.

    Magnus has no danger of becoming ill in the way Bobby Fisher had. The issue is that Bobby lacked the supportive family and the integration with friends and other interests. Magnus has a more solid footing in the world, which shows in his humility and thoughtfulness towards others. Madness does not come from playing chess at this level per se, but from anything for which an individual has poor coping skills exposing them to more chronic stress. Bobby had not achieved the necessary internal internal integration to understand where chess fit into his sense of self in the world of people.

      Most probably genetics. Bobby's mother was diagnosed as "stilted (paranoid) personality, querulent [sic] but not psychotic."
      His most probable biological father Paul Nemenyi was a genius but had mental issues. He would always carry soap with him, always washing his hands (OCD). The Jewish family services considered Nemenyi somewhat of a paranoid type. So Bobby inherited genius and mental illness.

      On February 11, 2015, Simon died after suffering severe head trauma and a broken neck in a car crash on the West Side Highway of Manhattan, New York City. His for-hire driver had lost control, resulting in a collision with another vehicle. Simon was extracted from the roof of the limo by rescue workers and transported to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, where he later died.
      The for-hire driver, an Afghan immigrant named Abdul Reshad Fedahi, who survived the crash had reportedly had his driver's license suspended nine times between November 2011 and the time of Simon's death."

    Only criticism I have of this video is how they portrayed Kasparov as this cocky disrespectful player who showed up, lost and then left.
    First of all, he and Magnus had played before, this was just the first time it ended in a draw. Second of all, Kasparov actually went on to win the tournament, having won all games except for thr draw against Magnus. Shaking hands and leaving is standard Chess behavior. He is concentrating, so Is Magnus. Its an exhausting game especially at that level they play. Its not that he is treating Magnus with Disrespect. Its that He treats Magnus like a tough opponent. Not a kid but a player.
    Kasparov also went on to Coach Magnus for about a year and to this day speaks incredibly highly of him.
    Similar to the actual clip on youtube about this match, Kasaprov is played out as this smug, arrogant player who cant beat the underdog. Which is done solely for dramatizing
    Other than that this was a great video! Especially the interveiwer was great

Even if Bobby Fischer had never played a game of chess in his life, he probably still would've suffered delusions as he aged.

    Honestly I am just so happy that we get to have footage of him as a child, we get to hear the voice of MC, and see him as a dreamer and now he has achieved so much. He's like the very first prodigy I've seen that live up to the expactations and didn't let the pressure eat him unlike other prodigies that just fade into obscurity.

      But now he could be on that danger?. Man generaly is not just good taking only praises and fame and wealth,. I think he has somekind of minor asperger/ authisim form; maybe he could put up with these things more but usually people in the end fall if they get everything,. Also motivation is needed he said he has lost it long ago, I think he manages because unique memory and talent,. Now in the chess Pro series they get to be in the groups spending time together it may be good or bad,. but always some danger where people are closely in the groups, and some partying / drinking :)

      Sure, but there's a lot of people like that around. Mozart though is known for his playfulness and easy-going compositions, while Magnus is known for fairly dry, error-free play that will suffocate an opponent to death eventually. If we're looking for a Mozart of chess it'd be more like Mikhail Tal, not Carlsen.

    • @piasecznik
      @piasecznik 10 лет назад +23

      Cliff Yablonski Excuse me? Carlsen's MO is to suffocate people in long games because he concentrates much better than them, especially against older opponents. He's said so himself in lots of interviews. This isn't some sort of original analysis I'm doing. It's not even a *negative* comment about Carlsen. It's an extremely effective strategy.

    • @jjr8364

      Mozart created compositions. Carlson creates- what? Magnus is a master player, though, and a comparison to other players (NOT composers) would be more apt. How about "The Lang Lang of Chess?" Not as dramatic as "Mozart" but far more apropos.
