I can't play the chess , even to arrange the position of the chessman , on the board game ,
I CAN'T MANAGE TO DO IT .
Middle finger because the first and second finger are useful for take the pieces, even the middle for indicates squares
I just wanted to see the face in 06:55 as shown in video pic.
0:23 Eastern Europeans usually point at things with their middle finger instead of their index finger. It's a cultural thing.
I love how he can give such an elaborate and interesting answer to such a short question as “Bishop or Knight?”
Controlled center kings safety,this goes right back to what I just said castling is supposed to be used for the benefit of ones playing situations
Castling is supposed to be a timing of when in a position to be used for the benefit of ones playing situations
Benko Gambit as it known in a free world ! ++respect
Such a class act.
What an opening Garry, dancing to your tune? What if I tell you Fischer got the upper hand without making a move and secretly smiling. I think you're better than that.
I used to think the bishop was better. Until i only had a knight and forked a king twice, a queen once and 2 rooks in 2 moves
Bishop if you want to win, knight if you want force draw.

2:11 "King safety is number one priority." Is he referencing a certain someone?
I know this man is a living legend, but this has to be the most pretentious video I've seen on this channel
"Bishop or knight?"
"Well I suppose that would depend if you're religious"
Wtf that was legitimately hilarious
Could have showed the gambits in a mini board.
5:42 LMAO
0:35😂
Garry Kasparov is best in all of them
knight is better for <1600 elo, bishop wins at higher levels
6:40
Excellent English !!
“King safety is number one priority” I thought of crazyrussianhacker 😂
thanks
“"Bishop or knight?.", it depends if your religious or not.”- Garry Kasparov
asking Gary Kasparov why horsi go brrr and him actually responding is something i didn't actually expect
Kasparov is a treasure
I really like his dry deadpan sense of humor.
Primitive questions …
😂😂😂
Hate the man. Nothing but respect to him when it comes to moving the pieces over the board but as someone that's representing this sport he is awful.
“Depends if you’re religious or not” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The reason they point with their middle finger is because they are holding another piece between their thumb and pointer finger most of the time. 0:17 should make a good example.
Tell me which one the top most difficult match ever you played you against strong player
Some people would find his thoughts… interesting 🤔 iykyk
what a great man. a legend man
What is the number 1 piece of advice for all players
what a guy!
All my life I've been thinking that Kasparov was russian, but when I saw the thumbnail, I realised : he's actually Italian 😮!
This is before chess became popular again, I never knew him.
the guy seems knowledgeable. Maybe he could be a pretty good player one day
The Knight moves the way that it does to allow it to be the only piece that can attack the queen without the queen taking it directly.
never knew Gru played chess.
Oh my god, it's Garry Chess
He’s probably 500 elo at least
3.33 Bishop
I always wanted to know what GK thinks of Go… has he ever played, what is his opinion?
Wow
I would say bishop is generally more useful but the knight allows for strategy that's otherwise impossible.
I love how great chess players don't reject computers' abilities to play chess more successfully, but rather draw conclusions about what this says about human and machine capabilities!
