@ Pascal77d Yes it was a joke
Google @ Trixapete it. This never happened.
This game was a game of 6 stars if it was played by a U.S. GM and GM Canada:)
Funny story and a great game. Thanks for the show.
Hello, I love your chessvideos lot. i adjusted renewed Thurs videos Kasparov Could perhaps take some around on a computer f. e. deep blue? I am very interested in how he plays against these machines. We look forward to your next videos. .
Great vid! Any introduction speech fantastic: D!
Kamsky did not seem as if he could play the poste.10. Qe1 is not the best move in the position. Best ยบ instead of 10. A4. Qe1 allows trade in D4 and black to play b5 give too much space and control on the queenside!
Excellent video Kingscrusher.J “I loved it!
The history of the lighthouse is a great story, and a great metaphor for this game, unfortunately, never really happened. According to Snopes, is a version of an old joke about the belly button that can be (and was) applied to the Navy of any country that you think is particularly stupid yet.
after seeing what he could to e4 and d4 have lol
one reason, I love watching your vid Mr. King! Teaching with a touch of humor ever. Thank you for sharing this story. LOL
