Drama in St. Louis! Kasparov Finds The Only Losing Move

In this video I am analyzing a Chess960 game from Fabiano Caruana vs Garry Kasparov chess match played in St. Luis at Champions Showdown with a rapid time control! After totally outplaying his young opponent Kasparov makes a terrible blunder, the worst move possible in that position, and loses when facing opponent’s counterattack! As Kasparov said after the game: “It was a great game; I fully outplayed him. If I didn’t make a move, it was still winning! The position was so good, just don’t blunder. There was hardly any move that wasn’t winning. OK, I found one.”
