Mr. King, why'd you removed the annotation of the player name, elo, date of the game that used to be on the right side of the screen? I really liked that.
This game can be seen as proof that classical time control will always play an essential part in the mind of chess lovers. Even though such complexity might require longer to solve. In any case, such games are the reason we love this game so much. And thanks again to Daniel King! Your analysis and explanations allow for a broader public to get attracted to chess and understand the subtilties of such unique positions
There were some howlers in this game that would be inexcusable with classical time control. About all you can say is that it is more exciting for spectators but I also don't like the aspect that it encourages young players to scorn longer time controls.
Imagine if Kasparov would have had this position years ago, with the game adjourned at move 40. Both players would have been burning midnight oil and shaking their heads trying to understand what is going on!
What an absolutely beautiful game of chess.. I loved the symmetry of the black knights on the queenside and the white on the kingside. That would be incredibly difficult to calculate in rapid..
Though both have gotten older and past their primes, it always seems like when legends play together something special always comes out from both of them. Great endgame!
Just when I was ready to right off the French, big Vlad proves me wrong. What a game. Imagination in chess is everything, some of Anands move were simply incredible. Many players will have simply have crumbled but Kramniks rare defensive abilities shows exactly what separates top GMs from us mere mortals.
Good evening Danny! I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I wanted to know if there are any plans to do a Chessbase dvd to cover 'less frequent' openings from black's perspective to compliment your excellent French and QGD dvds? I would imagine 1 c4, 1 Nf3, 1 f4, 1 b3, 1 g3 (and perhaps a Grob) might feature. I'm sure your coverage of those systems for black would be superb. Thank you.
That is a thought. Nevertheless, if you follow my Queen's Gambit system with Black then many of these lines can be met by a solid ...d5 and ...e6. So is a separate DVD necessary? Sure, there will be a few differences, but if your opponent is doing something a little bit unorthodox, there is no need to follow suit!
@@PowerPlayChess Good morning Danny! Thank you for your reply. Of course, playing a set up with ...d5 and ...e6 is very plausible. However I find that playing online (especially over the last few months) the 'less frequent' lines are encountered with much greater frequency. Your 3 dvds on the queen's pawn openings I found such a joy to watch and work through and also gave me a huge confidence boost when playing black. I believe that was because I had a framework to work within. I think a dvd on these 'lesser' openings would be a complete joy to watch and learn from and have so much instructional value. Anyway, if you are thinking of a future dvd (or Chessable content) then this is a suggestion from me. Have a good day Danny!
@@fragranceenthusiast5790 I'm glad you enjoyed my queen's pawn DVDs - yes, a sound repertoire framework! Thanks for your suggestion - I will certainly look into it.
I also felt anand should have played for b3 break instead of f5 after kramnik has castled long. For example after bc2, play Rb1, and if black shuts it down with a4, then he no longer has b4 as counterplay and white is free on the kingside. Otherwise, opening the b file should always be unpleasant for black with the king there no? In the game it feels as though also f5 hurt anand as much as it made progress.
what a fascinating game, but, given the positions were simply beyond anybody´s calculating abilities I am doubtfull of the value in studying it. Definitely entertaining though
I somewhat tend to disagree with the assessment that Kramnik`s ...c5-c4 is a mistake; at least over the board. - Closing the queenside leads to a structure that mirrors some variations of the King`s Indian, especially the Saemisch comes to mind. And, as it is there, closing the centre has at least the merit that black`s king can feel significantly safer. I even somewhat prefer Kramnik`s setup, with the Bd7, over the typical Saemisch, although it is certainly clear that white, as so often in these structures, retains an edge in a fighting position ( what black typically aims for in both openings) in any case.

Tight stuff, an excellent study Danny M'boy !
This game needs a book of its own. What a complicated endgame. Daniel King makes it so easy to follow.
I agree... Daniel always being so soft and humble on his comments

One of the best endgames I have ever seen, at least in the past couple of years. Very nice and intricate
Was waiting for your analysis, and it's as good as the incredible game itself! Thank you.
Anand - Kramnik, so cool to see that happen again!
Holy cow. What a crazy game
Dang insane game! Love to see these. Thank you for covering, Mr. King!
Imagine if Kasparov would have had this position years ago, with the game adjourned at move 40. Both players would have been burning midnight oil and shaking their heads trying to understand what is going on!
Crazy game, great commentary!

RUclips : My name is Mesgen Amanov! I am a professional chess coach!
He is, yes.
What a great game, thanks for sharing Daniel
What a game. My brain hurts now...
Fantastic game, great analysis!

Love you videos!! You voice is so calm and cathartic!

A memorable and complex game - even if were a *standard* game! ♚

5:52 What if in this position black plays the rook to A2?
guess they had both a lot of fun :-)
Chess is indeed a cruel game, and rapid chess - even more so! But extremely exciting pick, thanks for the analysis.
number of ads are just ridiculous.

Na...und? :)
@@PowerPlayChess Nichts. Habe nur von einem Engländer nicht erwartet, daß er auch Ostalgie haben mag.
@@SBelaya Ostalgie, naja - das nicht. Ist aber gut entworfen.
23:31 how the hell can queen take the knight there ?? The pawn is protecting it
Game is shown from White's perspective :) white pawn moves upwards not downwards
@@sentefmi Oh yeah 😄, totally missed it. Thanks for the clarification :)
what a fascinating game, but, given the positions were simply beyond anybody´s calculating abilities I am doubtfull of the value in studying it. Definitely entertaining though
That game should've been 1-1 or 1-2 , not 0-1

If there were a king on b1, I would agree with you! But this is very different. Trust me, this should just be better for White.
