Definitely. Kasparov's era of dominance encompassed the careers of many chess legends. Legends like Anand, Kramnik, and Topalov played under Kasparov's shadow in the 1990s and are still going strong today in the computer age (although their era is coming to an end). But Kasparov was on an entirely different level during that decade. In today's episode, we discuss the crucial encounter between Viktor Korchnoi from Switzerland and Garry Kasparov from USSR at the Lucerne Olympiad in 1982. Each session is roughly around 40-50 minutes in length and will help you to improve your understanding and knowledge of the game! Photo: Abhyudaya Ram. Master Class Vol.7: Garry Kasparov. Carlsen (2484) vs. Kasparov (2831) Reykjavik 2004 · Queen's Gambit Declined, Cambridge Springs defence, Bogoljubow variation (D52) · ½-½ A win for Carlsen will be a huge win for the chess world By Garry Kasparov. I am about to head to India, where I will first speak at the THiNK conference in Goa before heading to Chennai to visit the much-anticipated world championship match between defending champion Viswanathan Anand, playing in his native city, and young Norwegian challenger Magnus Carlsen. 98 videos found. 20:21 Magnus Carlsen vs Hou Yifan - World Chess Champion vs Women's World Chess Champion 10:37 Norway + Houdini vs Magnus Carlsen 19:56 Game 11 - 2014 World Chess Championship - Magnus Carlsen vs Viswanathan Anand 33:58 Game 1 - 2014 World Chess Championship - Viswanathan Anand vs Magnus Carlsen 06:03 Magnus Carlsen vs Rainn 3/19/2004 – It was a dream pairing for the organizers. 13-year-old Norwegian Magnus Carlsen faced legend Garry Kasparov in the first round of this Icelandic rapid knock-out event. The result was predictable but it was closer than you'd think. The game is annotated by Almira Skripchenko. Probably too expensive for anyone to pay for Kasparov to come back and get owned by Carlsen but you never know. A lot of people with money like chess and entertainment :-) If Kasparov wanted to come back just to play I am sure he wouldn't have problems getting a wild card to something like world rapid championship or some super tournament. This is a chess game between Magnus Carlsen (W) and Garry Kasparov (B) from the 2004 Reykjavik Rapid. It was their first of two encounters. Carlsen was a 13-year-old International Master at the time.
