I hope you appreciate what a friend Anand truly is. Any man who would allow a passed pawn for your lecture is a man who would help you bury a body.

Imagine a year ago when Kramnik was Kramnik and not some crazy old dude who isn't even old.

@donsimons9810 23 күн бұрын

everyone thought metallica were crazy uncool old dudes when they went kamikaze against napster. Cheating is ruining the game at the end of the day

2002. Kramnik: "Anand is using an engine!!". Arbiter: "Yes, Mr. Kramnik. Yes he is."

As crazy as Kramnik is, he's a great player. IMO, he's the first player that the term "super GM" applies to. Not because he's the first player at that strength; that's not what I mean. What I mean is that he's the first player to approach the role of professional chess player the way current top 50 players do. He pioneered using engines to prepare high-level opening novelties--he was responsible for the rise of the Berlin defense and the Re1 variation in the old QID main line. He challenged orthodox ideas, such as here: the general aversion GMs prior had of having this passed, isolated d-pawn. It's a Kramnik world, and we're just living in it.

Are you saying that Kramnik used a computer engine to gain advantages over other players? He is a fair player and would never cheat?!

@12jswilson 23 күн бұрын

That's not really true. Kasparov also used extensive engine analysis for his opening ideas and he did it before Kramnik did

@kmarasin 23 күн бұрын

@12jswilson you're right--but Kasparov got caught with his pants down in the 2000 WC match. It's not that no one did it before Kramnik, it's that Kramnik made it essential. That's partly luck, but he was the player occupying that particular pair of shoes.

Botvinnik was also pioneer in professional game preparation. He and his team made great number of novelties. Botvinnik used the soviet system as an engine that calculated new opening moves for him.

You know what... This lecture helps so much. I tend to get the passed D pawn and I can usually only use it to deflect defense of a piece. Maybe I can build a strategy around it a little more. It's tough out here in the 1300's now-a-days. You gotta be Booked up. You help a lot with that Ben. Thanks for your content

It's with d pawns as with cheating allegations: Kramnik is willing to take them very far! There are also some differences.

If you get a passed D pawn and you frequently win, always repeat, right?

@joepangia4413 22 күн бұрын

The Kramnick past d pawn seems a bit reminiscent of The Nimzowich school regarding the passed pawns lust for expansion and his postulate that a pawn with only one enemy pawn remaining on an adjacent file is 90% a past pawn.

Isn't the term passed pawn on 7th rank wrong ? There's no way a pawn is on 7th without being passed anyway, unless you're a GM. Oh snap

Ben, you should really be covering the candidates if you want to grow the channel. I’d really rather watch a recap from you than Gotham or any other garbage like that. You’d be extremely funny and also have good analysis.
