I turned 45 this year, and I am playing the best chess of my life. The younger crowd overestimates the effects of age. It is the stress of life, not the march of time, that addles the brain and makes chess hard to play. Certainly a young sponge of a mind, such as with Praggnanandhaa, learns better/faster -- but an older mind (such as mine) is still perfectly capable of learning something new without forgetting something old. If you do your best to live a low-stress life, you not only enjoy life more but also play very fine chess. Honestly I think Anand is proof of it -- he is a man of sense and wisdom, who keeps his mind uncluttered. I've been rooting for him for a long time now. He is 100% the overall greatest chess player of all time, in my opinion. And that's coming from an Appalachian man born in Virginia; I'm not a fan because he is from my country. He is just one of mine, due to his kind friendly nature and the clean way in which he plays chess. There are no others like him, though I think Wesley So is on his way to becoming the next Anand one day. Rapport never fails to impress. One day, in a hundred years or so, the man will be talked about as a legend for the crazy stuff he makes work over the board. I'm a huge fan of his as well.

I’m one of those younger viewers. Anand had some incredible games here. I love the third game

As you asked for comments from older players, let me do so quickly. I’m 67, and I actually played Vishy back when he was 14. A close game (French Defence!), but I blundered and was duly outplayed in the endgame. He was extremely friendly, and we played several five-minute games over the weekend of the tournament, one or two of which I won, although he was already clearly much better than me. And yes, it’s frustrating to be 67 and to lose concentration, or just physically not to be up to moving the pieces fast enough. But the brain fog is the worst - my play these days relies on pattern-recognition and instinct. I did manage a 95% accuracy score on one bullet game, to my amazement. Love your content, despite my decrepitude.

Great Analysis! I love your positivity and humor!

My understanding is that it's essentially what their expected elo should be, if only those games are considered. So if you stomp a bunch of really high rated players, your Performance is going to be through the roof, but your actual elo isn't, because your actual elo is sort of an average.

@adrianbreivik28

There is some mathematical formula that determines how well you performed, considering the results and the strength of your opponents, similar to how actual rating works, but your own rating is not taken into account.

It is called "Rating Performance", and the way you calculate it (I'm pretty sure) is that you average the rating of all the players he played and then you see the result he had, to give an example, If you have a 1100 opponent, a 1000 opponent and a 900 opponent, and the total score you got after all those games is 1 and a half points, it means your rating performance is 1000 etc

@logirex

2 жыл бұрын

You basically take the average rating of the opponents and calculate using the amount of points you got and then get a performance rating. Say for instance youu play an average of 2715 players and get half the points then you got a performance rating of 2715 for that tournament. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rating_(chess) Magnus reached performance ratings in some tournament over 3000 already when he was 18 years old. No idea what his highest is though today.

I always feel like when a top chess player has a spectacular game it's them demolishing poor Levon lol.

A role model to pretty much every Indian chess player out there and to a lot of chess player in general. Vishy sir is a legend in every sense of the word. Growing up, when we didn't even know the rules of chess, we knew who Vishy Anand was. Stories about his life featured in our school textbooks. It was one of those stories that we studied in our English language class in high school (and had learnt chess by that time) after which me and my friends got inspired and organised a mini chess tournament of our own with the winner getting a treat of his favourite snacks. I lost in the final, it still kinda hurts to this day but the memories are too sweet. That is how my love for chess blossomed. I am sure there are many like me who were inspired by Vishy to play and fall in love with this beautiful game of chess. I respect the opinions of anyone who disagrees but for me, he is the GOAT.

I am from India, in our textbooks there is a chapter named World champion and Grand master Vishwanath Anand. we studied him, he is a living legend in India, we adore him respect him so much that even I can't express. Great Grand master Vishi sir 👍.

@@juangalton999 I agree with you. I meant to say that if you expect an unwavering skill when you get old then you're bound to get disappointed. I still work out every other day and i'm actually stronger than when i was at my prime. My decisions at work are far better than when i was young, thanks to experience which you only acquire with age . But in chess, a grueling mental sport, we tend to lose some of our skill as we grow older.

@@joeb4142 WE can play chess even in our 90's like a famous Russian grand master, i don't recall his name. I meant to say we can't expect to play with the same skill as before when we start adding decades to our age.

@@juangalton999 I stopped playing chess for 40 years. I restarted recently at about my old USCF rating and I’m making slow but steady progress. So not only are you, as an older player, not too old to play but you can improve and advance as a chess player.

Wait, Rapport won with a Queen sacrifice - against one of the best players of all time? While Anand was on an absolute roll ? Brass Balls.

the only time i can relate to a gm in taking the knight in the 2nd game💀

Some absolutely insane computer looking moves in those games. To find that in 10 minute games is nuts. If I pause I can work out that one move in 5-10 minutes usually lol

I don't think any other world champion would have played like this at this age Vishy is crazy

@@asylum9868 The GOAT Kasparov got mauled in R&B since he started playing again. Both are almost the same age. Every GM accepts that as far as longevity is concerned at the top there's absolutely no one like Vishy. Guy has been amongst the top 20 in the world for over three decades.

Really appreciate how u present this video.

Dude the way you describe the games is so exciting.

i love it when gotham goes off topic and says some relatable stuff that is super relatable.

22:18 Vishy can't play d5 obviously because Rapport controls that square. Vishy played d5, which is the top stockfish move. Now I don't understand anything about chess.

I was rolling up and from across the room I hear “you just put me on in your living room and you’re off doing something else” How…

I'm 46. Have been watching since early '20 and have learned a ton. I started playing in 3018 as a total noob, bought your course and some books, and just beat a 1700 and other highly rated players at my club in DC. I think you're great man. Thanks.

This guy's the beast does badly at the last tournament, comes back and shows them who the real champ is

TBH I'd give Vishy better odds at beating MC than most of the candidates in the candidate tournament.

Vishy's game against Levon was brilliant. Wow.

gothamchess if you dont mind can you please make a more thorough opening video on the dutch defense?

Yes, I am watching your video on my living room TV. Everyone in the house can hear it and I am proud to be a Gotham chess viewer.

"He can't play D5 here, obviously, because Rapport completely controls that with four pieces. So Vishy plays D5." Absolutely classic

The commentary during the Rapport Vishy game was amazing. Legit felt like watching an MMA fight with over the top commentators

Full of energy
