Probably really dry for most of you folks, but I absolutely love this dude's channel.

Here is a breakdown of a match between Kasparov and Rodjabov in 2003 that I find extremely fascinating. Oh, and Gary Kasparov is an asshole.

I used to be a fair chess player, but no longer. I'd like to get back to it, now that I'm retired. Probably need to seek out a local club.

Having said that, I'd probably have to watch that video for several hours in order to understand his commentary. :rofl:

I usually pause for a minute or two and analyze the positions he is talking about, but yes, it's above my head. But that's how you learn. :)

I find Kasparov's behavior extremely petty in this situation though. The kid made a legal move, and he went on a tirade about it being bad for Chess because he was essentially out-smarted. :yesnod:

Kasparov is still an amazing player, but shit dude give credit where credit is due...it was a very interesting concept and series of moves and he won. :island14:

I too, haven't played in years but watching this (and lots of pausing to catch up), makes me realize how much I've missed it!
Looks like a good channel!
