Going into the final leg of the 1994 Intel Grand Prix in Paris, few could have predicted they’d see Garry Kasparov’s ultimate blitz victory.
Kasparov was trailing not one, but three of his toughest rivals: Vladimir Kramnik, Viswanathan Anand and Vassily Ivanchuk. Winning the tournament wasn’t enough; Garry would have to hope none of the leaders even reached the final. Even then, victory would only be possible due to the double points available for this final leg.
Vassily Ivanchuk, who had beaten Anand to win in London, was not in the same form. In the first round, Chucky was paired against the dangerous Ilya Smirin. After 2 draws, an Armageddon game was played with Ivanchuk only needing to draw to progress. However, Smirin had the benefit of an extra minute and established a strong position Under pressure, Ivanchuk just froze, his clock ticking down while he stared at the pieces. One of the favorites was out.
Anand was expected to coast past GM Anatoli Vaisser in round one but his opponent had prepared some nasty surprises and won a theoretical duel in game 1.
In the second game, a Sicilian Defense looked good for Anand, playing White, as a hole appeared on d6, a prime location for a Knight. When Vishy tried to take advantage of this with Ne4, however, …Qb6-b4+ forced the embarrassing Nd2 retreat. Now Vaisser just storms ahead with the initiative, attacking pawns and occupying open files with tempo.
Anand soon realizes his position is fraught with danger and his fears are confirmed when his apparently safe Nb3 move is met with an exchange sac and a nasty check. The game went on for a while longer but was already lost. Anand also exited in round 1.
Vladimir Kramnik faced off against Judit Polgar. With their first 2 games drawn, another Armageddon game was played. Kramnik only needed a draw but showed great energy to dance his pieces around the board and create a mating attack. Kramnik progressed to the quarter-finals.
The beginning of Garry Kasparov’s ultimate blitz victory took place in round 1 against GM Valentin Arbakov, famed for his blitz prowess. Kasparov, playing Black, brought out his favorite opening weapon, the King’s Indian Defense. The critical decision came when Arbakov snapped off the c5 Knight, giving up his dark-squared Bishop in exchange for a protected passed d5 pawn.
With maximum efficiency, Kasparov took control of the dark squares with …Kh7! and …Bh6. Next we see Garry’s incredible instinct for the attack, jettisoning a pawn to open a diagonal against the King. In a few moves, it was all over. Arbakov attacked Kasparov’s Queen, expecting it to move. Instead, Garry sacrificed a Knight, checking his opponent’s King, which was confined to the corner. Mate was inevitable.
With victory in his second game too, Garry Kasparov’s ultimate blitz victory was a step closer. To see how it plays out, check out the complete video GM Magazine - Intel Grand Prix 1994 Paris.
The greatest voice for Chess commentary! Such dramatic narration, adding so much drama and excitement. GM King's commentary is something I love, if not more, as much as the matches themselves.
A great voice indeed!
this was awesome
thank you.
Nice vid, thnx
Wished there would have been an Arbakov/Kasparov blitz shoutout. That would have been something since Valentin at that time was considered one of the greatest blitzers ever. No chance in both rapid tames though.
Nice attack thanks dude
the commentator like his double edge sword a lot haha
though i hate seeing Vishi lose , but game from his opponent was super preparation.. its kind of Tal like.. one of the few games where a super GM is completely outprepared..
Thumbs up. Great host and commentary.
Thank you!
Robert an IQ
no matter how sophisticated the attack, GM and former WC Daniel King will always refer to it as cheapo or crude. and I'm not only talking about this video.
True. I take his use of 'cheapo' to mean, not a swindle, but a threat that even patzers like me can sort of see :)
holy shit this is all so exciting
what's the chess set called?
is this daniel king? holy crap if it is, 'cause i'm listening to him nowadays too.
yes it is. Still sounds the same, but look up some photos of him in the 90s he had shoulder length hair!
The "Rook in the corner is lost" is not true. He could interpose with Bb2 to extricate the rook at 5:20
Bb2? Rxb2
in 14:31 I was wondering if bishop takes on h3 was not the best, because the commentator said that first bishop on f4 threatning then sacrifice bishop no h3 and my move was stronger. my idea was bishop takes Bxh3 immediately if gh Bf4 threatning mate Kg2 Rxh3 ! Kxh3 and Rh8 + and if king goes to g2 Rh1 nice mate and I didnt calculate what if K goes on g4 but I checked with engine that position and it says Bxh3 with - 8 points for black !! and all moves is forced. so when you have that kind of position with combinations always calculate the most forcing moves not like the commentator did whitch I like him by the way. so its nice feeling to spotted the winning move. oh if king goes to g4 then Qd8 and there is no defence of Qg5 #.
so why Kasparov didnt check with knight right away in 15:25 ? coz Knight takes, pawn takes and no h3, but d7 is best defend, cutting the line of black bishop. commentator said that white could simply move pawn on h3, but that isnt true.
Yes you are right Bxh3 was much better than Bf4!
Hubert633 bxh3 was winning
7:58 who the hell is Alexey Viswanathan?

lol
Kasparov. what a legend
And today he's celebrating his 56th birthday!
KIITOS PALJON!!
I just wonder how Indian win in Russia while, Russia win America and England, not in their own home base.... anand, kramnik, ivanchuk
Apparently kasparov has a IQ greater than Einstein did
Albert's IQ must have been pretty high to never once call himself World Champion at the same time as losing to a fucking machine. Unlike some.
Chess skills are only partially correlated to IQ.
Matan Cohen's Studio Einstein’s influence was contributing to the creation of nuclear death machines, maybe in 100 years we won’t care about Kasparov, but in 500 years we’ll all most likely be dead partially because of Einstein.
