How does Anatoly Karpov do it? In this game he is able to challenge a world class opponent by seemingly doing nothing more than placing his pieces on good squares. If only we could do the same thing.

So sad that we were robbed of seeing Fischer vs Karpov. The greatest what if in chess history.

@philabauerMagnus is still the by far best player in the world. He just doesnt want to spend 6 months of prep learning engine lines. Classical chess is dead.

Karpov is a very instructive player to watch. Small, mysterious moves and gradually builds an overwhelming position. Great video.

At that time Karpov was training with GM Seymour Furman, a world class theoretician and probably the best trainer in Russia.

@sebu1301 7 месяцев назад

This is nothing but calculation, which is not surprising, as that's what classical chess games are. Try playing like this in a bullet game and see how well it goes. In a slow game it's possible to push pawns and leave the king in the center, because you can calculate whether or not the opponent can attack you. Tactical sequences don't appear that much on the board, because both sides try to minimize opponents chances

@Brandon-a-writer 6 месяцев назад

Vlastimil Hort was a really, really strong GM. Any chance you could cover Karpov v. Unzicker? Almost no pieces have been exchanged and black is unable to move. Karpov seems like he plays chess with a Go strategy. Phenomenal positional player. Who was it who said, "If Tal sacrifices a piece, take it. If Petrosian sacrifices a piece, don't. If Karpov does it, resign". Could be Mikhail Botvinnik! Great, concise coverage John!

@SenatorBluto 6 месяцев назад

This is the famous Rook maneuvering game that John Watson has written about. The kind of game that leaves your mouth agape. Karpov played with beautiful geometry. Rg1-g4-b4-f4-f3-d3-d5-d3 !! Have you ever seen a Rook flit around so lightly in a middlegame?

Are you talking about Karpov or Hort? Karpov is a legend, there’s no way he’s underrated. But I only know Hort from this game, so yeah, that would make sense

@ndmb6333 7 месяцев назад

very underrated ? Karpov is one of the best chess players that ever existed if not the best ! take a look at his performance in the legendary Linares Tournament of 1994 , he crushed all the top gms of the world at the age of 44 with some immortal games against topalov and gata kamsky ( before the tournament kasparov famously said who ever win the tournament is the world champion ) Karpov ended up dominating the tournament with his unique positional style he scored 11/13 , while Kasparov was second 8.5/13 , Karpov is a chess legend definitely not some underrated gm .

@FloydMaxwell 7 месяцев назад

When people are asked about the best chess player of all time, names that come up are Kasparov, Fischer, Magnus, Morphy, Capa. In about that order. Karpov, if mentioned, is 6th or lower. In Karpov's case it's the length, and the girth.

Try to say sGGeveniNGen: the GG is a sharp rasping sound from the back of your throat, the NG is like the one in morning without a stopping sound for the final en. It all seems more complicated than it really is, but then, Dutch seems to be quite difficult for foreigners. Actually, the word Scheveningen was used as a password during WW-2, the Germans couldn’t pronounce it properly either.

@TomJones-tx7pb 7 месяцев назад

The weird thing about this game is how it keeps dancing between a lost position and one that can be held with best play, and even at one point dead equal. It makes me realize just how strong the best engines are nowadays, and how one can learn from them. The generation growing up and able to train with these engines are going to produce some amazing chess players.

This is an absurd comment. When you look at Karpov's record against the other Top grandmaster of his day you could argue he was the most dominant player ever, more so than Fischer, Kasparov or Carlsen.😮
