This QGD series is terrific, thank you!

Playing either side of the Queen’s Gambit successfully often is the result of who has their pieces developed more harmoniously. More Bethharmoniously.

Thanks GM King! As a QG player, I'm finding this series very instructive. And this game shows Kasparov's strategic thinking and patience as opposed to his usual energetic, aggressive style, which I like.

Hi Daniel, greetings from Holland. Great series on a great opening for both colours. I would like to suggest to do a clip on the game Carlsen - Kramnik, Stavanger 2016. A duel between one of the two greatest can't miss out in my humble opinion.

Love watching Kasparov’s games, especially with Dan’s presentation😍

Wohoo another Classic game

I recently started Kasparov's masterclass and this game only encourages my respect further. Very impressive decision making in this one

kasparov himself teaches in masterclass??

Wow! This game really felt like Karpov playing as white, not Kasparov. Total strategic domination over the entire board, and slow build-up to a winning position instead of swashbuckling sacrifices.

Exactly my thoughts. But that's exactly the point. Kasparov was very versatile player. Very strong tactician and many people remember only that part of him. But he was also very good with strategy and positional play. It's simply that at the same time there was Karpov, who was brilliant at positional play and he outshined everyone at that part of the game. But I'd say that Kasparov's positional play was not so much below Karpov's and definitely much better than many other opponent's.

Kasparov was a natural, and could play anything

"Short..... in theory, could still catch up." Ah yes, the hypothetical Short vs. the hypothetical Kaspernot.

Wonderful series

Korchnoi - Karpov world championship match 1978, game 31, Queen's Gambit Declined, Exchange Variation. You probably won't and shouldn't show this game because it is long and quiet, but it is terrifying from Black's point of view. Karpov was the best player in the world at the time, and maybe the best defensive player the world had seen. He was a great strategist and endgame player too, and he knew his openings well, and this was one of his standbys, which he had well prepared. He only needed a draw, because this was at the end of the match, and he was ahead. All in all conditions were ideal for Black to put up the shutters, and if a stolid, defensive opening variation that doesn't give you many winning chances isn't good for getting a draw in a situation like this, then what is it good for in general? Korchnoi played 19. a4-a5, crippling his own minority attack. But he still had a space advantage because of the basic character of the Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange Variation. Using that, Viktor Korchnoi ground down his superior opponent, never giving Karpov a ghost of a chance of turning the tables.

I dont know if it is not to old but I'd love a commentary on the game Rubinstein-Tartakower, Marianske Lazne 1925.

I remember watching all of these Short vs Kasparov games live on Channel 4, with Carol Vorderman presenting - which must have been a nightmare when there could be the entire length of this video between moves. Did not realise Short and Kasparov were 200 points apart at the time - no wonder he got a bit of a spanking.

That Nc3 is so simple

Daniel asks for a game with the queen’s gambit. What about a game from the TV series of the same name? The last one in that series would be good. I know it was a queen’s gambit accepted, does that count?
