Kasparov arranged a Eurotel Trophy match in Prague pitting Shirov against Judith Polgar, the highest rated woman in history. . . .
One of the spectators was actor Woody Harrelson, who was on his way back from a film festival in Karlsbad. He stole the show by playing a skittles game with Kasparov to prove he is also a "natural born killer" at chess.
The second game was played with a lot of banter as Woody tried the scholar's mate. Woody, who got tips from two grandmasters all along, jokingly asked the crowd to please refrain from giving his opponent any advice. In the end, Kasparov conceded a draw as Woody's entourage dragged him to his plane back to America.
In "Dutch Treat" June 17, 2000, Hans Ree added in passing:
Draw agreed. It has to be admitted that Harrison was helped by the grandmasters who were in Prague at the occasion of the match between Shirov and Judit Polgar, but that does not alter the fact that the so-called beginner's move 2. Qh5 makes quite a decent impression here.

"Tell the truth; how many of you would play knight to d5?"
I would!
"If you do this you immediately lose the game."
Oh
There's no shame in a blunder.
This comment described me
I read this comment before the moment came up, and then just before he said it I still thought: "Hm next move is probably knight to d5". Fuck me I'm bad at this game haha.
Sander Omg i can relate... hmm next good move would be Knight d5 .... ooooh
Link_x2 : And the Botez Gambit is on the board!
if the fool's mate enables you to draw vs. Kasparov, maybe it isn't a noob's move
fasthumbs there has been a game where carlsen was drawn with it also
Jacob Jonas Or at least, it was a pretty close game to the end
Qe7 is a poor response g6 is much better
Nakamura has played 2. Qh5 in a tournament.
I just hate it its easy to get a draw but i like to try and win
Feel free to pause the video and find the second move by Harrelson. If you found it, congratulations - you're an excellent actor
:)
Best comment ever!
For those of you who found it, congratulations, you're an excellent actor, and for those of you who just want to enjoy the movie
I added and for those of you that just want to enjoy the movie, because he normally says show. But seems like it may go over people's head :(
We are addicted to Mr. Agad...
3:52 I am ashamed to say I would have gone with knight to d5
You're not alone :D
I got bamboozled hard
"This happens to everyone at least once, so no shame."
I kept repeating to myself “go D5”. I like to think if I were actually playing and taking my time, I would stop myself.
Balistic Ri0t you are not alone my young peacock
Moral of the story: be extra careful when using a knight to fork two pieces if one of those pieces is a knight
Lol
This comment should not be as helpful to me as it is. Haha
Levy teaches it's not a true fork if one of the pieces can attack you LoL
LMAO
This is the problem with everything, forking with a piece make it vulnerable to the piece targeted.. ultimately your piece is taken over (unless its defended)
How much did Harrelson's rating jump by pulling the draw here?
He's a solid 420
white men rating can't jump
Hugo Esteves this was a good reference nice
Lmfao

I was at this Shirov-Polgar match, and witnessed this specific game. It happened in the VIP room at the tournament, so few people were present. There were perhaps 10-15 people total in the room at the time, max. Woody made the Qh5 move all by himself, and elicited a shock and laughs from everyone there. But I can confirm, it was all Woody. After the Qh5 move, Woody said, "Let's see if he knows this one." Soon after, however, it became a bit of team play against Kasparov, in a very friendly manner, but Woody ultimately decided on what to play. He seemed like a solid player. He also seemed a bit stoned when he arrived, so he was playing with a handicap. But with Woody, you never know... :-)
Patrick Pray so u r trying to say u r "VIP" .
Patrick Pray щ
singhbackONtrack VIP don't always mean "invited". there could be a V.I P ticket to watch this match, just like V.I P seat on legends vs legends on a football match
In my case it means "invited." You could not purchase VIP tickets to this event, as I recall. It was a separate, private room for organizers, invited chess players who also commented like Yasser, celebrities, and people who were lucky enough (me!) to know the organizer of the event... The organizer was trying to get more into chess events, he had previously done mega rock events (Michael Jackson, Madonna). Although I believe he quickly learned chess was a cesspool of politics and nothing much came of this initiative.
singhbackONtrack - I don't think he's "trying" to say anything. He clearly *was* VIP.

#Suggestion Garry Kasparov vs the World 1999. He played against over 50,000 people from across the globe who voted for the move to be made. Kasparov won!
Redox Red That is a pretty long game and everyone was using engines
Not to mention Kasparov was cheating.
Zesty
how? I wanna know
During that game the world was using forums to communicate and there was heavy suspicion that Kasparov was reading these forums too, seeing what the enemy was thinking is cheating. And then after the game he confirmed it himself. That's cheating based on any definition you want to apply to the word.
There is this german "RUclips-group" called RocketBeans and like 2 month ago they had Jan Gustaffson (I think germanys top 1 or 2 player?) in a show. They would show 2 games. First was 1 of the RB-guys against the chat (they used a website where everyone can vote for moves). The chat had 1 or 2 minutes to talk each turn, which isnt much considering there is like 1000 viewers that could communicate. Nevertheless, according to Gustaffson the Chat mad basically no mistakes and crushed the RB-guy. Next game was vs. Gustaffson himself. He said he might loose cause people would use engines. I personally think a few people used engines, but there wasnt time to communicate and overall it seemed pretty legit. 1000 (mostly) non-chessplayers vs Gustaffson and Gustaffson won it pretty convinvingly if you ask me, never really was in trouble. Actually the chat kind of repeated moves from the first game and therefore it was pretty easy for Gustaffson to read them.
"As soon as you see this move you know he's noob" hurts me man :(
I fell for that mate twice in a day
@@marshmelows xd
He likely did it for the laughs. But I was surprised with the rest of his play
My signature move 😩
You can see that move coming but I still sh*t myself.
I was walking down the street with a Woody Harrelson t-shirt on (I worked on a film he did and we all got crew shirts that mentioned his name), and a homeless guy stopped me and asked if I knew him. I said, "Well, sure, why?" and he had told me that he had played 3 games of chess with him and Woody blew him out each time. Now it all makes sense.
Pics for proof please
G. H He’ll send you a pic of the homeless guy
that's one way to get them to resign i guess
you need a megaphone for that "hello everyone"
That line always scare me:)
I sometimes forget to turn down my volume from listening loud music and I just jump so hard...
maxelf ikr
Cheers on finding such a great game, you're a True Detective. Harrelson played well and avoided getting into a Kingpin or needing Anger Management, and he didn't fall into any traps which is No Country for Old Men.
MrVvulf hahaha nicely done, although I cant appreciate this comment in its full greatness because I only watched True detectives. Shame, I know.
At least he didn't get lured Into the Furnace.
Lol
"Cheers" :)
true detective first season is a great show
2:50 damn he nearly had him 🙃☺️
he can say i was one move away from mate
Such a great actor! Very interesting to see a match with him vs Kasparov
Woody + 2 grandmasters vs. Kasparov.
fun to watch haha
Woody played well.
We need a dramatic movie about this, with a love triangle and plot to explain the need for assistence. Make Kasparov an upcoming actor, and Woody trying to beat him at his own game. $$$
To care! Odlican kanal, samo naprijed!
I just started watching your videos over the past week, and I have come to really enjoy hearing the enthusiastic "hello everyone!" at the beginning of your videos :D
"this happens to everyone, so no shame." I love your videos and your commentary.
I was 10 years old when I did my first successful scholars mate. It was my home room teacher Mr Anderson. After that first game I was stuck for a month playing chess every recess. He couldn’t stand it that I beat him. We went on to have wonderful games. Good memories
Good stuff good narration, I'm just getting back into Chess again.

"You knowthat hees a noob and you gonna win this game" made my day! That was so funny dude! I love ur vids
great to watch this , sir I'll suggest you that do whatever series you wanna do next i.e. either Bobby vs ...... or capablanca vs Alekhine. you make such a knowledgeable videos that they teach us a lot doesn't matter whatever video or whose so ever video are they, they're very instructive but though I'll be even more happy to see capablanca vs Alekhine series. thank you sir 🙂
#suggestion
Yeah, I love Harrelsons work. I miss Cheers.
Hay Agad, good video material here. Thanks for showing this to us. I was surprised to see this thumbnail so I had to watch it
Nice stuffs and stories 👏👏👏 .. Keep the great work. I will learn everday till I am a Champion in KE. Subscribed.
Thanks for uploading daily chess videos!
My pleasure :)
Woody Harrelson actually played like a Pro if not for the final twist you mentioned 😜
@agadmator Love your videos with those analyses, helps me learn chess in depth! Could you sometime in the future, please, make a video on some of the matches between the two Chuks/hammers - Ivanchuk and Grischuk (also my two favourite players) ; would really appreciate it!
Gary, very nicely done...i am getting back to chess after a long long hiatus and i appreciate your incisive analysis of these games.
"You know he's a noob and you're gonna win this game as black"
Lol
I lost to a Scholar's mate on an Exhibition Match.
I didn't play a simple Petrov Defense but a pseudo-Caro Kahn but switched to Blackburne Mating Manuever.
It didn't work and cost me the game after I saw both of the Queen and the Bishop already in the position to attack the weakest point of my ranks.
XxxJim_ the_ ReaperxxX Keep ur eyes open, eh?
@@Tempusverum
Thanks.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx All that contains is one move threats. All you need to do is stop , pay attention to what your opponent's last move did and you'll win the game. No need to go as far as petrov defence against someone who plays scholar's mate. Developing pieces normally is enough
@@achyuththouta6957
Hmmm...
Cheap tricks aside, he's actually a great chess player.
I wasn't really well-prepared for that day.
But you can't make excuses when you are about to meet your demise, really.
#Suggestion The David Letterman Gary Kasparov game from 1989. The video is on RUclips. Not a great game, but kind of funny, and I don't think any chess channel has noticed it.
Great video! It’s awesome to see that anyone can be a chess player even actors like Woody Harrison. Please do more interesting amateur vs. pro games!
Would we expect anything less than a Fool's Mate from Harrelson against Kasparov?! Loved it! Had me falling out of my chair laughing. Thanks for the laughs, Woody! No one else would dare show us how Kasparov might respond to such a challenge. This was pure fun and joy. Thank you both, Champ Garry Kasparov and the guy we'd all like to have for a neighbor, Woody Harrelson!! Heck, I'd like to have you both for neighbors. 😎
It reminds me someone tried scholars mate against carlsen in chess.com and it was an ok game as well
Harrelson didn't play that bad. Compare it to that hack Max Deutsch (vs. Carlsen); in this particular case please don't dignify it by making a video...
Nice video mate,i didn't know that Woody Harrelson played chess too,i loved his role in True Detective.
My fave agadmator vid so far. IT's just a good story, and I like the excellent twist that White ends up with a draw despite Qh5
Well Cheers everyone
Interesting story! Where did you hear about it?
GM Huschenbeth hmm a GM here it s good to see U
GM Huschenbeth
Really cool vid, I really enjoy these random exhibition matches
Probably already mentioned somewhere else but Harrelson's opening was for Scholar's mate, not fools mate as mentioned in the beginning. Great job on all your videos - much appreciated!
I'm guessing Woody tried for the 4 move mate, and the Grand masters were like woah! We gotta help this guy.
"This happens to everyone at least once, so no shame" lmaooo
Love Harrelson's acting. Big fan of his. I especially like his role in Hunger Games. It's great to see him play a (friendly) game of Chess with Kasparov.
Your videos make me happy on so many levels. First, they are informative and entertaining. Second, many people watch them which keeps up the interest in chess. Third, I hope they make some money for someone as entrepreneurial and creative as you!
I recommend you "True Detective" Season 1, Woody killed it there, McConaughey too!
The term "noob" made me think agadmator is a gamer.
He is of course!
He actually is, in some videos he mentions he plays league of legends an in a recent one in the game between ding vs fabi he says that final fantasy 7 is his favorite game
His whole channel is based around a game man..
Love getting the queen out early. Not that Im good at chess, but I feel better everytime I watch agadmators breakdowns. You the man.
Nice one really enjoyed i used to play H5 queen when I was a kid ...learnt a lot
Even if the movie sucks, Woody will make it bearable. I mostly agree.
There was some end of the world type film where he played a crazy conspiracy guy in a van. That was not his best role or performance.
@@annereilley4892 2012
Probably by 1999 Kasparov was familiar with "Natural Born Killers", considering this, draw doesn't seem to be a bad idea...
Great channel, glad i found it!
always enjoying brilliant commentary keep it down bro
This woody harrelson guy seems to be a good actor he should do movies.
hearthstone is winning :) turn 2 epic :)
:D
Thanks for a great chess channel!!
Cool game! Way to go, Woody! I was watching an episode of "Cheers" where Woody was playing a game of Chess. His character knew little about playing Chess. He ended up winning by Checkmate!
"Even if the movie sucks, his acting will make it bearable" with an awesome European accent
Harrelson : I am going to loose anyway, lets just do it in style😉😉
This opening was featured in the chesmaster series with GM Yasser Seirawan. This showed a different response to Kasparovs to demonstrate how to develop your pieces and push away the misplaced attacking queen. Oddly enough the Kasparov Harrilson game was in that data base for that program, always wondered why they were playing.
What a amazing quote by woody harelson on the top there!
Antonio how much time does it take for you to prepare record and edit a video before putting it on RUclips?
From 1 hour to 15 hours. All depends :)
May we get a "how it's made" video soon, on how you research/prepare/create your great daily material? :)
Olivér Perge bro, what a GREAT idea! You are a smart cookie!
“Kasparov I have to go, I got a plane. Let’s draw :)”
“No...surrender.”
"You know he's a noob"...genuinely felt that one but hey this has worked for me a few times haha
It’s great to see you back on You Tube
Lmao knight to d5 is EXACTLY my move normally...I can’t be helped I guess🤦🏻♂️😭
Wait am I missing something? How is this capture taking place at 5:35?
Didn't read the newest Chess patch notes? They recently added in en passant. Imo this makes pawns too OP but we'll see what happens.
its interesting that lots of chess player didn't recognize the move..
I take advantage of it very often !! :)))
One of my worst habits is my tendency to open with the bishop for the Scholar's.
It keeps working, too.
That hello everyone at the start killed me lol was way louder than usual
"as soon as you see someone play e4 queen h5 bishop to c4, you know hes a noob and your gonna win this game as black" legend
2:14 I have encoutered many "noobs" while playing online some of the noobs are quite persistent.
Gotta love how, contrary to most popular channels nowdays, Agadmator posts this 9:59 minutes long video. Makes me love this channel even more.
Best channel ever!
I have personally played Woody before at different coffee shops in Amsterdam and I can guarantee to you (being the fact I have played him) that these were ALL his moves 💯% he is a highly intelligent man as well as an accomplished Chess player since childhood 🙏 Thank you for the video I never knew this
Kasparov...quite the gentleman and chess ambassador.
Love you Agadmator!
Woody was awesome in Three Billboards, I was in tears. Even cooler to know he enjoys chess!
I didn't know Woody Harrelson played chess!?
I didn't know he could read
He did in Cheers.
You should see him play MMA.
Let's get back to Rampart guys!
Soundwave came here to find this hehe
Thank you for this.
Reminds me of the scene in Solo with Woody Harrelson playing Holochess with Chewbacca.
what was that at 5:37 ? O.o
miluberec same
what? You mean en passant?
Agadmator - sometimes older, blurrier photos have more character and are more appreciated than 3billion pixels per milimimeter high ultra supra high def images of today
onvduuen2 I dont know why, but your comment hit me hard. I got nostalgic feelings of my childhood xD
I agree Dario, and ULTRA-def HD supermodern photos can't procure those same feelings :-)
Looks like an impressionist painting where you could almost imagine seeing the brush strokes.
Before i started watching I was worse than my friend who has been playing in da chessclub for 5 years. Thanks to training and your videos I improved a lot and now I often beat him. But can you stream again? Would be great
Loving this.
Woody can brag that he played Kasparov to a draw.
Harrelson was aided by GM Yasser Seirawan ;-)
This is really awesome, Woody is so talented.
Thanks for this game Anto.
Qxh5 is no more "Wayward Queen Attack" it should be renamed as "Harrelson Attack". But hey if he pulled off a draw after playing this ridiculous move (which I play anyways) against Kasparov who was still the #1 at that time, it cannot be construed as a bad move afterall.
i think kasparov offers a draw because he didn't want to humiliate a star like Woody !
It was likely all in good fun
"You know he's a noob."
I played game after game with the friend's I was teaching chess, and I kept using the fool's mate to teach them how to defend and attack, it really is great to fast track beginners 👍
I would've move Knight to d5 as well. I have now learned an incredibly valuable lesson.
