Kasparov vs Kramnik: the Ultimate Blitz Battle!
The 1995 Intel Grand Prix final produced the pairing everyone wanted to see: the newly recrowned Garry Kasparov vs Kramnik, the 20 year old Russian tipped by Garry himself to be the next world champion.
Some had wondered what kind of form Kasparov would be in following a draining title match against Viswanathan Anand but he shook off any doubts, beating Morozevich, Georgiev and Anand 6-0 en route to the final.
Kramnik's margin of victory was slimmer but still conclusive as he beat Frenchmen Etienne Bacrot and Joel Lautier plus Vassily Ivanchuk by the same 1.5-0.5 score.
This would be the 5th mini-match featuring Kasparov vs Kramnik in the Intel series with honors even. Vladimir Kramnik has won the first 2 battles, Kasparov the last 2.
In this video, we join commentators GM Daniel King and GM Maurice Ashley for the first game of this thrilling encounter, the winner of which would win 1st place and an $80,000 prize. Garry has White, opens 1.e4 and we soon see a Bb5 Sicilian. Unusually, Kasparov opts for a quiet, positional line, gaining space with a timely c3-c4 move, pushing Kramnik's knight back.
More surprises as Kasparov opts to trade Queens on move 11. However, he soon reaches a position where he controls most of the good squares, leaving Kramnik with the tough task of unraveling his pieces. Kasparov stares at the board, sensing possible tactics as Black's King is the only defender of his d6 Bishop. GMs King and Ashley start looking at some violent continuations around a Nd5 sacrifice but no definite win is found.
Garry continues to gain space with f2-f4 but seems perplexed: he shakes his head, sure that there must be a breakthrough but unable to find it. Eventually he pushes c4-c5, a move described by GM Ashley as "taking all the fire out of White's possible advances". In other words, by committing to c5, Kasparov relinquished control of d5 and no longer has the option of pushing b5.
A couple of moves later, Vladimir is able to exchange off Rooks, relieving a lot of pressure - there will be no more tactics along the d-file. Kasparov's frustration is visible as he realizes he's let Kramnik off the hook.Now the game enters a new phase as the 2 Super GMs conduct a minor piece war for 37 moves.

Awesome video!! Love the old Intel chess events.
the reason Kasparov didnt play kd4 was because the white bishop on d5 was already lost, and like that he would have allowed the pawn on the f file to advance. too dangerously.
lol it’s hilarious how they inserted the woo hoo sound effect. Clearly those audience members weren’t making those sounds.
awesome hair of kramnik!!!!
The grass is still growing and we are still watching.
one of my favourites!!!
why kasparov played k*F5 instead of protecting his bishop on D5
yes why?
If Ke5, then Nd3 forks the king and the rook
@@ryanslocum7767 lol k
awesome!
por que en el minuto 28:35 no jugo Rd4
Eso continúa siendo un misterio para mí, hasta en Reddit hubo discusión acerca de eso.
What channel or TV network broadcast this?
Prelude to their world championship match...kramnik idea is Kasparov not that good in Queenless middle games...wonder where he got that inspiration from?
Kasparov gave up a piece without a good reason. After Kd4 White with a pawn down is actually better, could be winning
I simply cannot see the trick preventing Kasparov to keep his bishop with Kd4!
may be he thought f pawn becomes too powerful after that exchange. not sure
exactly, I too cannot find what Kasparov was afraid of !!
Somebody answered already above. Kasparov would lose anyway a piece after f4
@@torrubirubi I still don't see it .. Kd4 would have been a better way to continue
@@AdityaPal_sciencepal Check was Young Wolf wrote one year ago. Both players saw was going on. Kasparov would lose a piece anyway.
Why not Kd4 in 28:51 ?
Maybe we will never know 🤔
engine says it is draw after kingd4. interesting mistake.
The computers help a lot in the finals and it is true that there are some errors in the evaluations.
Two Russian chess giants are fighting good. :-)
Kramnik's hair !!!
He had quite a style, remember Leko's moustache?
That was the style during those years. Everyone wanted that hair cut.
Andredecolife`s Face !!!
"Defensive genius!"
Kramnik is the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did kasparov twist his ankle at 2:53
Maybe...or perhaps, there was some wire or something. Who knows.
Well no one except Kasparov. But good point.
Yes, in the 90s everyone wore those poorly fitted shirts.
kasparov on the ropes.
