Timman was way ahead of his time. It wasn't until the last decade that Hans Niemann, and later Carlsen, began to emulate his magnificent hair.

According to his Wiki, Kasparov wasn't even rated until 1979. Making Ben higher rated than him for 4 years.

You've done one of these videos on Bent Larsen and now one on Timman. When you see either of these two featured in a replay, they almost always are on the losing side.

Did people really argue about who was the world champion in the 1990s? My recollection of that time is that everybody knew that the world champion was Kasparov or whoever could beat him, and then Kramnik or whoever could beat him. Karpov and Timman played the 1993 FIDE world championship match because they were the most successful players in the candidates cycle except for Short: Timman lost to Short in the candidates final and Karpov in the semi. (The other semi-finalist was Yusupov, but he'd already lost to Timman in that semi-final.)

Here's a great Dutch chess documentary called "Love for Wood" (with English subs): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5popZB7ubmlhoE.html where you can see a lot of Timman live, philosophizing about chess with other players. He seems like a really nice guy, very balanced for a chess player :) Also IMO it's one of the very few truly good chess documentaries, heartily recommended! Otherwise, great lecture about one of my favourite chess players. As always, thanks Ben :D

6:15 I'll argue with you about the those guys being the 4 most talented players in 1991. Kamsky is the one who doesn't fit. Kamsky was only 16-17 yrs old then, and Ivanchuk was unquestionably a superior talent at that time.

@beeble2003 Ай бұрын

Yeah, Ivanchuk was #2 in the world in 1991. Kamsky was top-ten in 1991, though, despite "only" being 2650.
