The beginning of the 12th World Champion's career confirms the well-established truth that champions are not made, they are born! Karpov is just that. He is an autodidact who didn't have a trainer and didn't read chess books. He was able to gradually make it in one of the most difficult of games by sheer practice and constant self-improvement.
Ilya Levitov, in an open discussion with the Legend, tries to get to the core of why this shy kid from the Ural region managed to do what others didn't, although some of them seemed more promising than he was. Even the 6thWorld Champion Mikhail Botvinnik wasn't able to clearly measure out the scale of his talent.
Watch the first episode of the series dedicated to the 12th World Champion Anatoly Karpov on Levitov Chess World. You're in for a lot of interesting things!
