@LeuErelak-wj1ki 9 месяцев назад

No way😂. Probably you just follow chess recently

@vov.7397 8 месяцев назад

He'd sometimes get into really dense positions and it's amazing to watch how he'd just slowly improve his pieces, gaining better position, and just tightening everything up until his opponent couldn't breathe. Just stunning.

@perkalov 7 месяцев назад

Karpov is a legend and arguably the best strategic/possitional player of all times often ranked as #4 or 5. Hardly underrated by anyone that has followed chess for a decade or two. Karpov was the second "modern" chess player, after Fisher, taking chess to a new level. He is less known by new players but he is still among the first names you would pick up, outside contemporary players. Carlsen, Fisher, Kasparov, then possibly some other contemporary like Nakamura, Caruana, etc, then Karpov. That is how "underrated" he is. He is likely to be mentioned/learned about long before Capablanca, Lasker, Botvinik, Spassky etc.

@youtubeshypocrisy 7 месяцев назад

I would say Karpov is fairly rated.

@rewindforward2865 8 месяцев назад

Winning the third game that way was too cool. Karpov is a true legend indeed. He was a positional player. In addition, he could attack like a beast. Plus, he could defend like a pro. Respect!

@TelAvivShalom 11 месяцев назад

It’s an excellent video, thoughtful, well presented and easy to follow. Thank you! Karpov’s black pawn advance on the h file in game one is a true manifestation of ingenuity… What a great champion!

@jessejordache1869 11 месяцев назад

Karpov has a book on the Panov-Botvinnik Attack from the point of view of the white pieces that I study from time to time when I know I'm going to play against a CK player. It's from the late 2000s, but the P-B isn't very theoretical after you reach a certain point in the game. I highly recommend it. Using it I've gotten really great positions with a supported knight on a dark square versus a light-squared bishop and black's pawns all on light squares, plus queens. You hardly have to do anything, and black collapses.

@billybob9961 6 месяцев назад

You present the game, so well, it’s not only informative and an exciting fast moving pace. I always thought of myself as a high-level, chess player but after watching these grandmasters play, I no longer think of myself as an amateur I think of myself as a beginner, even though I have been playing for 51 years. There’s certainly is levels to this game some of the strategies here or just amazing, especially game one check me with the pawn that was a work of art. Perhaps it can be considered a big mistake by the loser however, I think of it as a master class by the winner. that was an amazing win so simple so subtle that it was overlooked and that’s what makes it great.

The commentary between Karpov and De Gremont should have been a big mistake. Can't understand why Karpov had to resign. However other games are definitely a big lesson for Caro-Kann players.
