Dear God...! I would have never thought of Alexander Morozevich as a player from the past... Times are changing and I'm getting old...😓
truth hurts
Me too friend, that is life.
my brain: Ben will talk about some 19th century player who coincidentally shares the name, I'm sure.
Best chess videos on the internet. Except for one thing.
Mostly et cetera.
Very suspicious.
its not from mr beast.
Best GM in his chair
Oh, snap !
I saw Morozevich live at the Lloyds Bank Masters back in 1994 in London. I used to wander over to the hotel where the tournament was being held and watch his games. It was his first international tournament, and he was destroying everyone, eventually winning it with a score of 9.5/10.
Immediately after this tournament, he turned up at an elite tournament as a spectator and sat in front of me, and next to Carol Vorderman. Carol, who had gone from clever maths person on a words and numbers gameshow called Countdown to clueless chess presenter during the Kasparov-Short match for the ill-fated PCA, introduced herself to Morozevich and effusively told him how she'd heard so much about him. It was so surreal to me at the time watching the two of them attempting to have a conversation.
Moro was the Ding of his time!
I saw Morozevich live at Eurotel Trophy Prague 2002. The pinnacle of my chess experiences 😍
Thanks!
Thank you, Ben. I have learned a lot from you.
i more lernt than anything
Awesome games! I'd like to see more of Morozevich on 5 minutes with Ben :)
Morozevich is such an exciting and enterprising player, I hoped he didn't quit but had his health problems. At his peak, when I was much younger, he was an absolute beast and always played aggressive chess.
Merci pour ces vidéos . J'aime me plonger dans les styles de ces grands joueurs.
1 dan is ~2100 and 9 dan is ~2900 and so on
Great video Ben, highlighting such a flamboyant player. One of my favorites from the early 2000's.
yeah I really like this series
Go Ben!
Very enjoyable. Lovely first game, I hadn't seen it before.
Great video. Nice shirt Ben.
loved these games and moro's playstyle. rh2!
Thanks
Great !
Wow moro was freaking awesome i loved that crazy style
So crazy to think of Morozevich as a player of the past. Somewhere around Covid it seems like he just stopped playing. It's "Sakaev" btw. Not "Sakeev".
From playing chess to playing Pokémon Go? Suspicious.
Morozevich is the same age as me, so now I am a great viewer of the past. Possibly the future too, who can say?
Yay new lecture. I love the 5 minutes videos too but watching that goddamn Ryan Reynolds ad for just 5 minutes of video is excruciating lol.
great video! in the Sakaev game, the bad Bh7 reminds me of a comment in the Kmoch book "pawn power in chess"
white bishop is so bad, white does not defend it, and black does not even take it, as it would make some needed space for white
:-)
First game, really nice
Thanks for this GM Ben. I used to find Morozevich very entertaining and hoped he would be the next champion brining back the spirit of Morphy back into elite Chess.
Great video morozevich is in a category with mamedyarov as aggresive d4 players
You are the best human being period
Moro is one of my favorite players too ^.^
A Finegold Morozevich video is almost too much for me. Just all of my favorite chess sh1t.
"I don't normally make chess moves, but when I do, they're absolutely brilliant"
- the most interesting clam in the world
That first game was crazy. It really felt like black was fine until the pawn grab on h6... But even after that, there were times when you felt Black should be able to hold white off and then press home the material advantage. Worth studying
I would love to watch a blind chess tournament.
You're only allowed to watch blindfolded though
Morozevich plays blitz on Lichess off and on still.
The first game would easily pass as one of those AlphaZero vs. Stockfish 8 ganes from 2008. An insane positional bind.
2018
Love how you just run over "Nh3 - completing development (I guess)"
Now this is unintentionally funny as Moro is much younger than Ben!
cool games but I was curious to see some Albin, used to play that when I was 1400ish FIDE lol
1 Dan pronounced "don" is a first degree black belt in martial arts.
The way he chews the remains of his last meal, and sucks on his teeth are like ASMR in my ears. Keeps me coming back.
I urgently wish you hadn’t said that
morozevich vs fischer would have been a HUGE match. but alas, even kasparov beat him.
13:45 Na7 makes much more sense to me than winning the pawn
You're right: I'm on youtube and I am thinking "Who is Sakaev?"
Heyv GM Ben. I'm surprised that Kramnik didn't accuse Morozevich of cheating!!
The videos are still produced and there are still the same jokes. Great.
He's an amazing chess player, but at least on one occasion, against Hikaru Nakamura he played a Four-Knights Game and they drew, so I guess: 'Exceptions confirm the rule' :-)
The Albin Countergambit (especially the variants played by Morozevich) is not that "suspicious" of an opening: to date with computers there is only 1 variation (the one with white's early a3/b4) which gives a clear advantage to white on move 10/ 12, and it's an advantage of +1/+1.2, it's not that black finds himself in a totally lost position... and in any case, up to 2200 elo, perhaps 1 in 10 people knows exactly that specific variant. The vast majority, being used to the queen's gambit, find themselves "out of book" at move 6/7... if you know the theory well, you can beat even quite strong players with the Albin, I say this from experience.
Hmm I think it is pretty suspicious, in fact I read that it was on the no-fly list
no french defense :(
Kasparov himself played 7.g4
1 Dan is about 2200
Hmm...even super grandmasters sometimes move a knight five times and then trade it.
Almost makes me want to unban online chess. Give me some kind of assurance that someone else will not move my pieces for me to unintended squares to assure my loss!?
What are you talking about??

2 GMs, vaat else?
h4orozevich
from the past=? whys that? hope not
Chess was too easy so he shifted to GO 😂
Man what´s Vladimir Kramnik doing in a video about the creative Alexander Morozevich? Oh he was once worldchampion. But not a popular one. And certainly not a worthy successor to Kasparov. He was lucky to defeat Kasparov. In my view Kasparov could squash Kramnik like a wormy apple.
Kramnik did not lose a game in his match against Kasparov. I understand not liking his style but he was one of the best of all time.
The numbers disagree - Kramnik +5-4=40 Kasparov. Garry had his chances 🤷♂️
He may or may not have been popular then, and he's definitely crazy now, but it's hard to argue he wasn't a worthy WC.
The Berlin is just another Ruy Lopez defence, and modern players crack it from time to time. Kasparov didn't.
He was so well-prepared that he totally negated Kasparov's 1. e4. I don't consider superb match preparation "anti-chess" but can agree to disagree. @DLB-po6nn
Yeah, Kasparov wasn't himself in that match. In one game he failed to convert advantage, in another he blundered badly in the opening. OTOH. Kramnik was at his career peak during the match. When you combine that the outcome wasn't strange
