If that's the worst blunder of his career he'd have an aneurysm seeing my games
nah his worse blunder was in junior chess championship final he was about to checkmate opponent he made a big blunder that made stalemate
@@dewidewi8393 That's a winning position turned into a stalemate. In my opinion, a winning position turned into a losing position is worse...
@Derek Zhou derek
you sound like one of those old timers in the park, getting destroyed by a 10 year old in chess Pepelaugh
@@mohammadkayed7780 what?
why didn’t Gary gently offer the king to Anand, cradled in his hand, only then to hug in a warm embrace and give him a huge smooch??? Unprofessional
Don't forget the smile
@Qimodis it's a reference to the queen's gambit ending
people in the future are going to think this is how over the board chess was played in the before times, hikaru is not helping by talking about his tickling stories
@@sixmorewhiskey1629 that’s what the queen’s gambit ending was referencing
@@tacokoneko his what
Kasparov's reaction reminds me of Mr. Bean
1000% yes
How did I not see the resemblance until you mentioned it
woah stolen comment
Now his reaction will remind me of you, yay
@@hahayes9690 bruh
Imagine blundering and people keep replaying it and laughing 25 years later...
That means you're one of the greats. :)
It is not the blunder, but his reaction to it
The funny part is his reaction
Reckful's, rests his soul, missed lethal feels like another nice example.
I could only hope to bring that kind of joy to the world
I love how we all see our blunders just half a second after we played them
And then u have to hold in your "CRAP OH NO OH NO" just in case they don't see it
That's me. Agonize over a move for 2 minutes. Then instantly see why it's bad after playing it
That's because you're bad at visualizing so you understand the dimensions of your move only after seeing it on the board.
@@pedestrian2530 Yeah exactly, it used to happen with me too, but now I have started to visualize..
"all" I do not think that word means what you think it means.
LMAO you can already see Kasparov's eyes bulging outta his head when Anand was reaching for the g4 pawn before he officially played it.
LMAO I saw that
It's amazing how fast these guys' minds work, I would have taken a 3 whole minutes just to understand the position is losing
“Why didn’t they hug?” geez. Hikaru’s chat woke up and chose violence, holy shit hahaha
Vik woke up and chose violence
I don’t get it can U explain plz
@@jasg223 queen's gambit
@@euanmcdougall1917 the joke is, Magnus and hikaru should hug after games
@@euanmcdougall1917the best comment, i fell in love to hikaru due to his care for his fellow chess players and i dislike anish for not showing symphaty to fellow chess players alireza and his opponent and he talks down allireza instead and even anish makes up story to defend the arbiters that makes the drama get worse
Two normal grandmasters : Playing chess Audience: ah yes, perfect time to cough
That's why the Queen's Gambit wasn't realistic, there was no coughing
Lol
@@mevs.theworld8079 the whole movie is nonsense...
@@Spidey2J not a movie and not nonsense
innocent move
I swear I always hear "Giri" everytime he says Garry
Same!!!!
Ngl i didnt realise he said garry until i finished the vid and saw this comment.
@@stummstefan9735 I think it's safe to assume he's referring to Garry evertime he says it as he calls Giri "Anish"
@@kish4corheunbl perhaps.
U wanna play some chess? Im not that good but i thouht y dont i ask :P
Petition to make Garry's face a new twitch emote The way he stands and runs off😂😂😂
That would be hilarious
I mean I'm not a twich expert, but i assume you can't use other people's intelectual properties or likeness, at least not if you monetize your content.
@@AthosJosue Yeah this could be problematic
This makes me realize that I've never seen a chess player so upset with himself.
Hikaru has some pretty emotional reactions out there. Weird thing to watch but its interesting seeing someone be so passionate about what they love.
Over the board chess players will have more mild reactions but Magnus’ reactions in the Opera euro rapid have been a treat so far
you haven't seen Nepo when he loses
Bruh, what does Vishy do, he literally looks the same right now also!!! Wtf he's 50 years old
LMAO
𝚠𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚟𝚒𝚜𝚑𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚊𝚕 , 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚢.
To be honest he always looked old hahaha
@@SilencedButNotForgotten wait what ... Kasparov in this video looks older than the current Vishy.
Indians didn't age until they were about 55 or something
Why is there always a chess board on a coughing contest
Because they're smaller than snooker tables.
@@thememaster7 And more portable than music halls.
"Garry, in 25 years this will become a meme." Garry: "What is a meme?"
Gotta love how after Gary moves and before Anand moves, Gary's eyes go super wide like "oh crap don't see it don't see it don't see it" That's me basically every 5 blitz games, I'm king of taking with the wrong piece.
I actually dont think he realised until Anand was about to make his move. Thats when he realised. He missed it but Anand found it first
@@nuun0010 yeah when anand had his hand over that pawn than he realised he Blundered and didn't see that move coming.
@@nuun0010 Idk, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where Gary's eyes pop out of his head but it for sure happened between moves.
@@davismiller3769 Nah, its pretty clear that he reacts to Vishy about to take the pawn
It looks like the same time his opponents hand goes for the pawn, he realizes then he fucked up and to me it seems like the entire line appeared in cranium at once.
*please move to another table thx* Hikaru's chat is a whole new level XDDDDDD
Board?
Why didn’t they hug?
@@stylo3313 They were not bros yet.
I don't understand
@@wazy1852 it's a reference to the past Wijk an Zee match, when Alireza was asked to move to another table during his game to allow for finals. Everyone understands that if Magnus or Garry were asked it would cause a shitstorm
It’s a good thing Anand didn’t offer a draw that game.
True
It's only a blunder if you lose, if you win it's a brilliant queen sacrafice 😂
In any case, Botez Gambit. :)
Lol at 5:28 you can pinpoint the exact moment his heart rips in half. If you go frame by frame it's so funny. Vishy's hand hovers over the black pawn, Garry's eyebrows raise, then you see him glance back to white's queen and his eyes just bulge out of his head lol. You can tell Vishy was thinking about whether or not it was a good move while his hand was hovering over the pawn, and I think Garry's face helps convince him, because shortly after Garry's eyes pop out of his skull Vishy snatches the pawn and moves his queen so quickly lol
Really appreciate that you went to an actual board to explain us!!
He didn’t he went to a virtual one.
I'd love to play poker against Garry.
great joke that went overlooked
Would it even be a chess match without relentless coughing in the background?
of course not
This hits different in 2021
Now the coughin guy would be in isolation and all the tournament must be stopped
Amazing how the perception of time has changed in a few years... In the 90's 40 secs left on a clock was panicked, nowadays Nakamura with 40 seconds left chats online, eats a meal, plays a puzzle rush and THEN casually plays 40 moves....
Playing online with 40sec is so much different from the real otb
Cause in otb chess you can't premove. So no matter how fast you move you have to spend at the very least 1 move per sec which is not the case in online
how calmly Anand is playing
I love how Kasparov instantly disappeared like a crazy girlfriend just said "I love you" way too early.
That one dislike is from Garry who had to relive this memory. Edit: Garry is using his alt. accounts now. He is salty.
it's those Russian bots I keep hearing about
The fact I got a "Garry Kasparov teaches chess" ad before the video is epic.
Lmao
U know you are a legit grandmaster when even your blunders are titled 'legendary'
A million dollar reaction which Vishy didn't care to look at. 😂
Anand looking the same after 25 years...
Lmao
Asian genes or something?
Just played games his whole life. No worries.
Chat: "It's just chess, bruh." No, it's not just chess. Chess is some people's career, art, legacy, and life. It may be just chess to you, but it means everything to these grand masters who've spent their entire lives mastering the game. It's totally understandable to be upset when you make a stupid mistake in an important tournament you've spent days, weeks, or months preparing for.
It’s just chess, bruh
It's just chess, bruh
its just a video bruh
Its just chessbrah
That's the joke.
After all these years , Vishy still looks same at 50 yo and definitely killin in the game too.. Indestructible Vishy :)
Just as good as Gary's blunder reaction is his dramatic exit lol
My favourite part is Anand rubbing his hands together like a super villain 😂
In the clip look at Kasparovs eyes when Anand hovers over the pawn on g4
They actually didn't hug each other! Consider this is not real chess.
You know you’re the best when your blunder is a HIGHLIGHT
Love it. Thanks for sharing... priceless reaction... captured! I understand Garry saying this is worse blunder.
Garry should not play poker.
*gets pocket aces* *EYES MAGNIFY*
he literally said that he would be a bad poker player because he doesnt have a poker face in his book lol
Literally happens to the best of us, shits motivating in some capacity
This is the reaction that my dad have, when I was young boy, and Then I first time win in chess with him, in front of our big family whose came to us on litle holidays. Mostly I was always loooooosing this game, but once in a while I have my litle-big victories... Like Anand have in this game :-)
I love how he stares wide eyed at the piece right before Anand plays Qxg4
it's hilarious considering the commentators were declaring Anand's loss at that moment. Perfect anticlimatic anime scene
Garry has lost his 50% brightness of his prime now. But Vishy still has 95% of his brightness even at this age. Evergreen legend.
While Vishy’s longevity is absolutely insane, it’s pretty insulting to say that Kasparov has lost that much of his skill Sure, his edge isn’t there anymore, but he is still a world-class chess player nonetheless.
@@str1ker_eureka I tend to think it is because Kasparov stopped competitive chess entirely whereas Vishy kept playing. There r other great players that kept playing competitive chess into their old age because they didnt stop playing. Whereas people who stop completely drop off a ton.
Kasparov is 61, Anand is 54
Meanwhile in a parallel universe kasparov reacts to hikaru s' legendary reactions
The commentary those days is 10* better than what it is today
00:48 Vishy did it before Professor
Lmaooo got a kasparov masterclass ad in the middle of the video
I wonder how he would react if he gave away a free queen.
He did that last year in an online tournament.
5 months after this video, he lost a game in 7 moves.....
I wish my checkers games were televised. I’m a beast.
Damn Hikaru adds 2k subscribers everyday. Cant wait in March for his 1M Subs.
His eyes looking at the pawn almost to be grabbed by Annand's hand are indescribable.
Gary is going like: 👁️👄👁️
That would be a good video - a collection of some of the worst and under important circumstances, blunders by the best GMs
The 90’s look is gonna make a comeback
It would take a huge amount of mental fortitude to even continue the game after a blunder like that, let alone put up a good fight.
4:54 "why can't he take the d3 knight?" this makes me lose braincells
Pawn on c2: yehe boi...
If one more peice was attacking the Knight it would be hanging.
@@mudit6306 wouldnt you wanna take with the queen so your rook on c1 isnt hanging
Take the knight by what...don't say queen
@@Tyler-bp4md you r right brother👍
Kasparov know it in the Moment, Vishy wanted to make a move, see his Eyes
11:00 "in switzerland, uhhh not in switzerland, switzerlind" xD
The lightning kid strikes!!!
1:51 - Love how Vishy also decided to gift Kasporov with a glob of his saliva when shaking hands to go along with the blunder.
I love Garry, what a character
This would have gone unnoticed in my games
TOOK HIS SOUL WITH THAT ONE MOVE!
Guess' everyone can relate to this, lol! Like, yeah a lot of people think it "seems" unheard of for a master player to make a mistake like that, but there always seems to be a few cases of this sort of thing happening in their careers. Garry's expression to the move encompassed everyone's too. XD Those times when you play something and just know right after the move that a mistake was made is both baffling and infuriating. There's just so much to keep track of on a board that mistakes just happen at times.
6:48 I believed he said it on a WIRED video about his 6 or 8 most memorable games.
What a match between two legends!!
The cameras on the table were precise to record this moment. Gary's widely open eyes realising the blunder, was the best part.
Kasparov really needed a hug,and a pat on the back there
Ending music is super intense and super 90s
This blunder reminds me of my own games… two logical moves, one wins and I chose the second…
Legend says the title was edited
That commentary is epic!
React to Anand spends 1 minute 43 seconds on move 3
Is hard to believe that Anand is still an active world class player.
Gary's reaction is too Hikaru HAHAHAHHA
Ah the old double-wide Chronos digital clock with mechanical plunger buttons! DGT would later go on to eat Cronos’ lunch.
Hikaru I'm proud of you. Love you. From Philippines.
Anand cheeky rubbing his hands together in World Champions face
7:16 Hikaru defending Alireza because he can relate, that one game against Fabiano pepelaugh
The 'Same Difference' got me.
A win is a win.
hikaru casually mentioning that he was at the last game of garry vs deep blue
His reaction is priceless😂😂😁
The way Kasparov got up, with the exaggerated stagger of a former Russian world chess champion
Actually he's from Azerbaijan but fair enough he considers himself a Russian
That final getaway lol
Wow great clip i didnt know this part of chess history
He had the same reaction when he lost to Deep Blue. Just up and bolted from the room.
Woah so the Botez Gambit was popular back then too ?!
Congrats, nice blitz performance.
Lol I got an ad for the Gary Kasparov Master Class
I remember he put this on 2nd on this worst blunders.
Rowan Atkinson mentioned in a interview from the early 1990s that Garry Kasparov inspired Mr Beans character lol
3:35 'same difference' understandable have a nice day
I was so confused cz when Hikaru says Gary it sounds like Giri
at some moment i expected from Garry to show some martial arts on the chess board
Thankyou for explaining 👍
sadly this became to be known as the game Kasbarov made the legendary blunder, and not the game Anand turned the tables and won.
Its because of kasparov's reaction
garrry with the Al Pacino eyes
