In London, twenty years ago day for day, a match that changed chess history began. On October 9th, at 4pm, watch on our channel the first of a series of shows where the 14th classical World Champion Vladimir Kramnik will talk freely about chess in the 90's, its intrigues and rivalries, but also about his own trajectory up to the match against the invincible Garry Kasparov and his preparation for that match of 2000. World Champion analysis awaits you there, a lot of anecdotes, and more...
0:00 - The matches for the Crown get shorter and shorter
2:00 - Formerly the matches for the Crown lasted 24 games, in our match there were 16 games (we played 15), then 14, then 12... Let's wait until it becomes 10
3:30 - Why Kasparov didn't keep playing the Grunfeld
3:35 - When I saw Kharlov amongst Kasparov's seconds, I understood that maybe he would play the Queen's gambit accepted
7:35 - Probably Kasparov didn't like that kind of play
7:55 - In tournaments the Grunfeld worked superbly for Kasparov, whereas it didn't in matches
9:52 - The Grunfeld is a cursed opening in the World Championship matches!
12:30 - Fourth game
19:58 - Leko would laugh at me, wondering what do I want from him?
24:24 - I didn't have the intention of not playing principled chess
25:45 - Here it became clear that I calculated further than Kasparov
33:25 - I found a forced win, but...
38:50 - Here in a cold sweat I began to understand there was no win!
40:22 - Kasparov gave a chance. "Kramnik's hallucination"
42:54 - On the way home I understood that I give mate
45:48 - Around the sixth hour we were both out of gas!
46:06 - Kramnik had to drink cognac...
46:08 - You see, he does blunder too!
48:05 - Why the two K didn't analyze after the game
48:12 - It seldom happened, in particular after seven hours of play
52:10 - Fifth game
53:08 - In his career he is used to dominating, but for the first time since 1984 somebody presses him!
54:15 - We didn't prepare 1.c4
1:01:15 - Kasparov was very unhappy with how things went
1:02:45 - It was all very bad, but I escaped unscathed
1:02:55 - Kramnik's alleged "domination in the opening" during the match
1:03:45 - Kasparov played well, correctly, but without the "icing on the cake"
1:04:25 - Kasparov didn't manage to overcome the quality of your defence during the whole match
1:05:15 - Kasparov stopped playing the variations he should have played
1:07:15 - Well, first of all, I have a Russian wife...
1:09:17 - Sixth game
1:13:22 - Kasparov started thinking for a while, played logically, but somehow got worse
1:16:05 - Ian Nepomniachtchi tells us that after the retreat of the knight to c7, the computer shows white has a decisive advantage on both Qf3 or Bd2
1:17:13 - My esthetic feeling led me astray: the move Ra3 looked so beautiful!
1:18:58 - I am the one guilty: I should have calculated better
1:27:33 - Here I thought for a long time, but couldn't find it. Black is in zugzwang!
1:35:25 - It looks as though he is gone here... but he found a miraculous save
1:37:30 - That's always like it: the lucky one is the one who makes the penultimate mistake
1:38:35 - Kramnik could have lead 3-0
1:39:19 - I didn't play for 3-0, but I did play for 2-0!
1:41:30 - We understood that the key moment was yet to come
1:43:03 - Seventh game
1:45:00 - Zhenya said he was taught the move 4..a6 at the internship
1:45:38 - Kasparov wasn't ready to play sharp positions being out of book
1:47:13 - ... and made a draw with white in 12 moves!
1:49:00 - The feeling of the opponent during a long match
1:49:22 - Well, maybe he wouldn't get back already
1:51:30 - Eighth game
1:51:41 - On that day I didn't feel well at all
1:55:22 - I was very happy with the opening, and all of a sudden I faced a remarkable novelty
1:55:45 - The more I thought about it, the less I liked what was happening
2:03:50 - Afterwards it was said that Kasparov missed a win, but there was no such thing
2:10:23 - I was lucky, I held on, it could have been worse!
2:12:22 - Yeah, I quipped after the game: "You don't know how to work!"
2:14:00 - Ninth game
2:15:50 - I once again slipped away from his hands
2:24:32 - Everything got in right on time
2:25:15 - Looking back at the match 20 years later
2:27:50 - Because of the computers the openings are so worked out that there's nowhere to go for the players anymore!
2:28:50 - I consider that Kramnik's merits ought to not be silenced!
