Garry Kasparov vs. Vesilin Topalov, Wijk aan Zee, 1999 is considered by modern grandmasters to be the most impressive game of chess ever played by a human. The game features an unbelievable sacrifice backed up by a 13-move calculation with countless subvariations, showing why Kasparov is STILL considered the GOAT of chess - even during the reign of Magnus Carlsen.

I explain all you need to appreciate the stunning beauty of this particular game of chess. I speak slowly, I speak softly and I try to make a calm, relaxing atmosphere that will help you doze off and fall asleep or set you in a tranquil place where you can enjoy the beauty of chess at the highest level.
