The 12th Annual Linares Super Tournament held from February 23rd to March 14th, 1994 was the first Category XVIII event ever held. Fourteen of the world's best players, including both World Champions, competed in a round robin format. The participants were (in order of Elo): Garry Kasparov (2805), Anatoli Karpov (2740), Alexey Shirov (2715), Vishwanathan Anand (2715), Vladimir Kramnik (2710), Vassily Ivanchuk (2710), Gata Kamsky (2695), Boris Gelfand (2685), Evgeny Bareev (2685), Alexander Beliavsky (2650), Veselin Topalov (2640), Judit Polgar (2630), Joel Lautier (2625), and Miguel Illescas-Cordoba (2590). When asked about the strength of the tournament, Kasparov famously stated that the winner could consider himself the world champion of tournament chess. Ironically, it was to be Karpov, his longtime rival, who would be the man of destiny, culminating in the greatest single tournament performance of all time! Karpov won the whole ball of wax, undefeated with an astonishing 11/13!!!

Topalov has been on the receiving end of Kasparov’s, Karpov’ and Shirov’s inmortal games.... what an achievement...
Juan Tello feelsbadman
What a gentleman :))
A modern-day Kieseritzky or Schulten.
and "the greatest move of all time" !
@@boxingjerapah Subjective of course, but I like Shirov and I like the bishop sacrifice 'best move' for sure.
The older I get, the better Karpov gets.
Why this is very true
Karpov just grabs the pawn...what a gentleman! xD
Grab them by the pawn.
@@dramawind I had no relation with that pawn.....
@@dramawind nice one
I immediately laughed when he said that too lol
Seriously man, thank you for all you do. I am a teacher and can honestly say - the way you instruct and dispense information is truly a talent. Keep up all the work you do - always look forward to your videos when class is over.
+Mustafa Gambit Thank you Mustafa. Glad you enjoy the content :)
Really happy to see my fav - *Karpov* rules, thanx agadmator
From wiki: Karpov's "boa constrictor"[25] playing style is solidly positional, taking no risks but reacting mercilessly to any tiny errors made by his opponents. As a result, he is often compared to his idol, the famous José Raúl Capablanca, the third World Champion. Karpov himself describes his style as follows:
Let us say the game may be continued in two ways: one of them is a beautiful tactical blow that gives rise to variations that don't yield to precise calculations; the other is clear positional pressure that leads to an endgame with microscopic chances of victory.... I would choose [the latter] without thinking twice. If the opponent offers keen play I don't object; but in such cases I get less satisfaction, even if I win, than from a game conducted according to all the rules of strategy with its ruthless logic.[26]
@Ze TheGame "master of midgame then he's fucked (hence why he lost so many times to Kasparov)"
What are you talking about? Their 5 World Championship Matches record is 21-19 with 104 draws in Kasparov's favor. Kasparov did beat him but with a razor thin margin.
@@mazymetric8267 absolutely correct. A lot of people think that just because Kasparov has won all championship matches against Karpov, Karpov was much weaker than him. But all the matches were very close and could have gone either way.
@@leadnitrate2194 Kasparov didn't win all of their matches. Their 1984 match result was 5-3 with 40 draws in Karpov's favor but it was adjourned. 1987 result was 12-12. Kasparov won the other 3 matches with 13-11, 12½-11½ and 12½-11½ score.
@@mazymetric8267 well, I should have said Kasparov has never lost
@Ze TheGame Karpov would have an overall games winning record in his world championship matches v Kasparov if their first match has not been so ridiculously drawn out, favouring the younger man's stamina. Karpov was crushing him at 12 and 24 games. Their matches were very close and no-one else was up to their dominance. He gave Kasparov a wonderful extended education. A pity Fischer chickened out of playing him to defend his title, or he would surely have gained from that experience. He won this Linares tournament, the greatest ever assembled at that time, and including Kasparov, superbly- were none of his opponents masters of mid game? Karpov is clearly one of the very greatest players in chess history.
Karpov is a legend of his own, one of the greatest players of all time!
I like how Karpov is happy and Topalov is shocked :D
The best part of this era was that Kasparov and Karpov were really about equal in strength, but had radically different styles. Like Ali and Frasier, this is what makes the competition fascinating to watch.
this still stands as the greatest single tournament victory in THE HISTORY OF CHESS!
Its very difficult to explain why that overwhelming performance is ussually overlooked. I think that poliytics and ethnic reasons underlies, something looking unjustifiable.
@@juanmartin8753 wtf are you talking about? Your fancy words doesnt even make any sense
@@sebastianjosefsson3620 i think it makes sense.
The highest tournament elo rating score is Fabiano Caruana 8,5/10 StLouis scoring 3080! Caruana is the world record holder! Karpov 11/13 in Linares 1994 elo score 3040! Alekhine in 1930 San Remo 3040! Over-rated Fischer and Kasparov had their Best tournament scores only about 2990!! Karpov was leading 5-0 after 27 games against Kasparov World champion match!! Bobby Fischer beat the weakest chess World champion Boris Spassky only 17 wins 11 losses! You can not lose 11 times against the blunder maker Spassky! Capablanca would beat Spassky easily 8 wins 6 draws zero losses! Carlsen would beat Spassky easily 6 wins 6 draws zero losses!! Carlsen is 100xtimes better than Spassky! Fischer beat Spassky in 1992 10 wins 15 draws 5 losses! Spassky was 158th World ranking in 1992 and Spassky rated 2558 in 1992! Fischer scored 58,33% score over Spassky in 1992! So we get Fischer rating 2616,78 in 1992! Lasker won the New York Tournament in 1924 beating the world Best at age 55 years old scoring elo rating 2875! Fischer at age 49 years old 2617,77 vs Lasker 2875!
every night i wait for my 2 goodnight games😂 love this channel 👌👌
Roberto Perestrelo Yeah , same :)
so true ^^
For me it's the after work, unwinding games.
grabbing pawns in the middle of an attack lol...Anatoly is truly a gentleman! :p
Thank you. Karpov has been one of my favourites since my youth.
I remember this tournament win. Karpov was _blazing_ hot, clearly propelled by the years of grinding match warfare with Kasparov.
Karpov's my favorite of the World Champions. Well, him and Tal.
That's a weird combination of favorites.
@@krishnasykam7930 Indeed!
@@krishnasykam7930 greatest attack and greatest defense
@@shobiryoga6466 Shouldn't greatest defense be Petrosian?
Not so weird. Both were great intuitive players. Also nice guys, according to just about everyone.
Love to see more Karpov games. Seems like a great player and I enjoy his positional and tactical take on the game. As a relative beginner to chess I need to learn to slow my moves down and Karpov shows why it's important to have go position just like how he took the two pawns.
Very nice job once again on the video! :)
+Darren Madden Thanks Darren :)
I feel bad for topalov, I mean he is an outstanding player, he has faced so many beasts with courage but also it seems that he is the one who gets the most brutal defeats of all chess players in history. ):
well...it's because of his playing style...he's somewhat reckless :P
On peut voir ça a l envers et dire au il faut jouer au top pour battre topalov
I get the feeling Topalov is a little too arrogant in chess. Maybe it's just me, but that's what I think.
@@raidenx7207 not sure where you got that, I just think he went up against some of the greatest players of all time, and had it been any other player in those positions, he would've been fine
As they say, it takes two players to make a beautiful game. Even in Kasparov's immortal, he said he was thankful chess was kind to him that he was facing Topalov and not a more conservative player. If he had, then he admits that his brilliant move would have ended in a draw because someone other than Topalov wouldn't have accepted the challenge.
Antonio to Topalov- looks like you are an excellent receiver to immortal games :)
Karpov is a great player. I know he doesn't play romantic or poetical chess, he teaches us the ordinary players much much more than the chess poets
My dad was friends with Anatoly, he visited our house frequently in Florida, had a chance to play him multiple times myself. Never won.
He didn't let you win? ;)
Was your dad a Clout Man?
@@mycubiclepenguin868 theres a video where Karpov crushes a kid on a russian tv show and the kid cries lol
@@mycubiclepenguin868He's Karpov. Ofc not.
@@Red4350
Actually Karpov offered a draw but the kid refused. Then the kid lost on time....
Karpov told him: You have to be more realistic about TIME.
The kid then cried but Karpov gave him one of his books which Karpov dedicated to the kid and then the 3 yo fighter got a happy face and run to him mother shouting "Mother, mother, look what I've got!"
stop taking those poisonous rooks topalov
Love that game , karpov my favourite player , amazing work and explanations as always , you are a blessing man :)
Thanks, you never tire of watching this one. I wish we could have more of Karpov's games.
“Style? I have no style” - Karpov
Everyone has a style.
It seems him, Capablanca and Fischer were very similar in that regard. Their style was very logical and clear. Something similar was said about Fischer. "Fischer lacks style because his play is perfect. And perfection has no style."
@@BeFourCM I don't think Fischer was bad at playing sharp positions. His favorite openings were Sicilian and King's Indian defense which quite often lead to sharp positions. I think what Kramnik was saying was that Fischer was not as good at playing unthematic, irrational positions. In other words, weird positions. Like material imbalances and pawn structures that are not too common.
@@mazymetric8267 exactly; unlike Tal, who deliberately tries to create crazy complicated positions. Tal and Karpov are some of the best the world has ever seen, although their styles are completely polar opposites.
I love Karpov
He just squeezed Topalov with simple moves
Anatoly Karpov is one of the best players in the world if not the best of them all. Really the king of strategy. I wish the event of his match against Bobby Fischer in the 70's could has taken place, cause the chess community all over the world would have enjoyed great games ever played.
Yes Fischer denied us one of the great matches.....
and in doing so put a large question mark against his reputation of GOAT
@@kasparov9 Fisher felt down in fear...I believe.
@@mizofan It's hard to be Goat with a 2 year domination, Kasparov was World No.1 for 255 months on the Fide list, won 6 World Championships. I don't know how Fischer can be considered greater even with some of his amazing match scores, it still only culminated in a single world championship, no title defences.
@@juanmartin8753 I don't think it was fear. Fischer was too complex and had too many demands for the match. In the end everyone lost patience and Fischer lost his way.
Karpov is just granite.
For people who know chess, always have him in their top five all time best players.
Fischer Kasparov Magnus Morphy Karpov
Yup
@@booooo-urns I don’t understand why people put Morphy in these lists. An engine alone proves Morphy’s play was unsound. The competition he was playing against was just so weak...
@@97epicman If Kasparov played in Morphy's era he wouldn't do any better
@@booooo-urns More like Kasparov, Fischer, Anand, Carlsen, Karpov. Morphy is not even in top 20.
Great game by Karpov. Thanks a lot for the upload. This channel was new to me but nowadays I look forward eagerly to new daily uploads.
Karpov just grabs the pawn, what a gentleman 🤣🤣🤣
Both Karpov and Kasparov's immortals were against Topalov... and bunch of other famous games too lol. Poor Topalov.
And Alexei Shirov played perhaps the most shocking move of all time Bh3!! against Topalov as well.
"What a gentleman" I laughed so hard :)
Thank you for being so clear with your narrative!
come on people this is karpov immortal and it deserve 200k veiws
What Mustafa Gambit said - I'm not a chess teacher, but every video you show has great instruction. The more I watch, the more I'm starting to guess or figure out the next move. Now that autumn is here and winter is approaching, it's time to enter some local tournaments! Kind of hard to do in the summer when you have a boat. :-)
+Gill Rowley Did you write this post just to brag about having a boat? :D
Maybe. :-)
Seriously though, I completely enjoy every video you post - they're great learning tools.
Recent subscriber,learning the game again. Mental stimulation advised, thank you for how you do this. Best thought on getting better is play yourself on the clock . Play these games, your openings etc. Make choices, settle your game in. Chess is fun if you are prepared. Thank You
Topalov seems to be the guy on the opposite side of the table whenever someone gets their "immortal game" Kasparov, Shirov Karpov and probably some other people as well.
why is this the case?
Topalov is the "right person" for this purposes.)So,if you are super GM and want an "immortal game" so bad,you call Topalov)
I think Topalov is too agressive. He just does not back down and if you are a posicional master like Karpov you can take better advantage.
Topalov never really strangles his opponent. He goes for super complex beatdowns without much focus on defense, and any game with him has so many fireworks that it's going to be memorable.
Topalov is a very agressive player. Maybe he has no patience for defending the whole game like Karjakin, for example. So when he gets under pressure he is probably more likely to miss the best defensive moves, which allows his oponents to launch a quickly and decisive attack. Kasparov is also a bit like this, he always seeks for the initiative, but Topalov is probably even more.
@@joaolucasbraga4642 yeah I agree. Topalov and Kasparov are basically the same kind of player. Very tactical and aggressive. The only difference is that Kasparov is a lot better.
I really like the newer videos with a little more analysis. Very well done!
Karpov doesn’t miss to grab a pawn. What a gentleman! 😅
What a brilliant match
Plot twist: Topalov played wacky on purpose so HIS immortal vs Shirov, Kasparov and Karpov are actually his plan; to reserve his name in chess history!
A fantastic tournament achievement by Karpov- if his first world championship match v Kasparov had been over 12, 24 or a sensible fixed number of games his reputation would be even higher.
True. I really hate the way they muck about with different formats for world championship matches. Should have always kept matches to best of 24 games and champion retains his title in a 12-12 draw.
i feel like topalov is creating all this masterpiece with kasparov and karpov, he wants to complete the masterpiece,if you know what i mean.
Games like this are why Karpov is my favorite world champion. :)
+1
IMO the third best player of all time. The only player who could even come close to standing up to Kasparov at the time, and he fought incredibly hard against Kasparov.
@@Gustavo-so7zk who are first and second?
Positron 1. Kasparov due to longevity and complete dominance over the chess world and 2. Fischer, because although his dominance was short he put up performances that have never been seen in ‘70-‘72 and stripped the title from the Soviets. The Russians had teams of grandmasters to work with and Fischer only had himself and a few close friends. I will say that Karpov probably deserves to be tied at the #2 spot because his record against Kasparov was quite close and he was maybe the greatest positional player of all time, but I think Fischer and Kasparov had unmatched wills to win and stopped at nothing to crush their opponents with unsurpassed dominance. These are just my thoughts though.
@@Gustavo-so7zk mmmm maybe 👍
"Karpov just grabs the pawn... I mean.. what a gentleman".. xD
Your quotes are amazing!
At least Topalov can be remembered having fought courageously against many other players' immortal games!
Great channel. Thanks for reigniting my chess interest. General comment, not only regarding the this particular vid.
His best moment was when he made a 3year old cry.
For context look up chess final boss
Game of sacrifices always the best, thanks.
Topalov has been the subject of two immortal games in which he didn't prevail.
And Shirov's 'best ever move'.
I have a bit of Karpov about me, rather than find the quickest route to victory, I just keep turning the screw, the problem is though, that unlike Karpov, I struggle to locate the screwdriver, but on the odd occasion I do, then I am Anatoly :)
A fashion I'm observing about the 4 World Chess Champions before Magnus Carlsen:
Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov created their immortal games against Veselin Topalov, Vladimir Kramnik created their immortal games against Levon Aronian.
Hi agadmator! I'am watching all of your videos within this month

OPEN LETTER TO ANTOLY YEVGENYEVICH KARPOV
Dear Mr. Karpov,
You and I met across the chess board in in 1994 Manasquan New Jersey at the office of Don Maddox, where we played two games at the end of a blitz quad wherein each of had defeated both Mr. Maddox and a postal-chess champion named Paul. You first defeated me quite soundly as white, overwhelming my Pirc with something other than the Austrian Attack, and in our second game went as follows:
1. e4 c6
2. d4 d5
3. Nc3 dxe4
4. Nxe4 Nd7
5. Bc4 Ngf6
6. Nxf6+ draw
My only other chess accomplishment is finishing second in the US Armed Forced chess tournament about a year later.
When we shook hands that day, I conceived of chess as a metaphor for the ongoing political and martial strife between our two homelands, and though I did not realize this exact meaning at that moment, but I have, though meditation upon both our game and the game itself over time, come to understand that handshake as a offer of world peace.
With this as my introduction, I issue you the following challenge:
I, Douglas Ryan VanBenthuysen, challenge you, Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov, to a series of games of chess wherein we prearrange to play all games to a draw, and we do this in the name of world peace. I'm open to whatever venue you suggest, but my friend Ty's house on Leon Sierra in North Phoenix, Arizona is open for our games at any time.
And, along with our match, join me in asking that all chess players for a year -- or at least a season -- resolve to play games to draws. Learn to find beauty in the game not in vanquishing the enemy, but in creating a beautiful position where both black and white coexist in some equilibrium. And, perhaps, if the collective mental energy of all of us is directed toward peace, peace on world will follow.
At very least, we will confuse the engines.
With deepest respect,
Douglas Ryan VanBenthuysen
PS: The match does not have to be between me and Karpov...any two chess players can execute this plan for peace. Just play for a draw. Delight an opponent with an "accidental" stalemate. End a game in confusion with a threefold repetition. Get creative with it!
Great videos...chess is magic...
Now you can see why those in between moves of Pawn grabbing were so important
Great player!
Ningal Pwolikk muthe...ella videos um superrr aan....
Thanks
been watching your game reviews the last week or so...subscribed today :) excellent content and explanations for the average club level wood pusher like myself.
Love your reviews of Ivanchuk games especially...Chukky has been my favourite GM since the early 90's after I saw him relieve Kasparov of his (centrally placed ? ) queen in a game in the UK journal, Chess monthly. I am in my 50's now, and my memory has too many holes... :) I can't remember exactly the game or the tournament .
It seems like Ivanchuk dwells in a separate universe to other GMs...often making such abstract moves....its such a shame he never managed to take the crown...why do you think he never became world champ?...in my opinion, it has to be something psychological , rather than technical.
Although you wrote this two years ago i want to give you my to cents. World champions play solid chess above all. The exception in modern times Tal. Didn't held it too long. He lost to. Botvinnik Ivanchuk play risky.
More Karpov's games plz!!!
Karpov forever
Hello buddy love ur work.. could u do some karpov vs kasparov championship games ?
That endgame is brutal! Karpov surgically removed all of black's pawns.
Yes. Karpov is a great gentleman. 😂
Hey Agadmator, very good analysis as always. I've just concluded watching the Tal-Botvinnik match and I was wondering, what about a series on the Karpov-Korchnoi 1978 match? I think it would be quite nice, there isn't anything like that in UA-cam yet. That's my suggestion, think about it if you decide to begin some new project. Thanks for the excellent work anyway!
I really love your channel, great work. One thing I'd like to know is why don't you post more Topalov games?
Great game. I was hoping you'd do more Karpov, thank you Agadmator. I wish there was a book on Lineares 1994. You don't get books on modern tournaments these days (my copy of Alekhine- New York 1924 is resting by my chess set currently). Karpov is truely one of the greatest chess players of all time. Where would you put him, Agadmator? Third after Fischer and Kasparov?
Definitely above Fischer.
He has done a lot more than Fischer.
The list would be
Kaspy
Karpov
Magnus
Capablanca
Lasker
Fischer
Alekhine
Botvinik
Kramnik
@@arkos1179 Yeah pretty good list there, chum. It's obviously impossible to figure out the definitive list, but it's fun trying. I think Fischer should be a smidge higher due to his intuitive talent- but you're right, players like Karpov certainly did for more for chess than Fischer.
7:26 -- The move 24. cb5 -- very Karpovian!
Topalov missed a ginormous blunder by Karpov. Move #7 by black should have taken pawn forcing check. Then advancing knight to check then second knight or queen to b3 and the assult could have been been legendary
Worth mentioning that Topalov was still a teenager back then.
I loved playing, but after years of drug misuse I realized I had developed a crippling inability to think or presume just a few moves in advance.
Who else did notice the good jokes about Karpov's positional moves on the video? LOL
watching agadmator from i was noob rated 800 on chess.com. now im still noob but 1300 rated. im happy. thanks for helping me man.
Keep going my dude! I believe in u. I also experienced a ratings jump from this channel and thechesswebsite's youtube! Pretty hyped I went from 1700 a couple months ago and just today for the 1st time i passed 1900 :) This channel is great
thanks man. wow you almost hit 2K rated
I didn't knew capturing a pawn makes you gentleman :-)
So yeah!
6:22 -- the try 21..Kh7 fails, as you demonstrate with a very nice expository line
Mr. Raul da Silva, I see what you did there.
Why Anatoly doesn't get the credit he deserves??
is it because of his style of play ?!!
I think it's politics, at least in the US. Through no fault of his own, he was the Soviet Chess Federation's boy, so the US press had all his opponents "courageously taking on the Soviet machine".
The only thing missing from his game was stamina. He completely dominated the field in the 70s and 80s until Kasparov came along, and then they dominated the field together.
Karpov is very well regarded and is usually put in the top 3 of all time on greatest chessplayers lists. Anyone who really follows chess knows how great he is.
Nonsense anyone with knowledge of chess regard karpov in the highest regard
@@rogerfedererc5315 Not really. This is your subjective opinion as a Karpov fan. Karpov suffered because of his lost WC matches against Kasparov. By the way, you can't even spell your name correctly.
Karpov's Desperado Rook
🔥🔥
At 6:58 what about rook a to g7?
Suggestions for where I should look to learn chess strategy?
Can't believe Karpov survived the fall of the USSR, but he did! :)
One quick correction. Karpov made it to 6/6 before round 7, where he played Black vs Kasparov in a Caro-Kann and almost defeating him.
+Ian Seda Irizarry I've been looking atr the rounds all wrong. On chessgames.com I checked Karpov's opponents from Lineares 1994 and I thought the opponents were sorted by rounds, it seems they weren't. My bad :)
@9:13 why not capture with pawn instead of rook ???
Hi Agad
Do you have any game between Karpov and Tal? It can be a masterpiece:)
ua-cam.com/video/I8RLkd6SjHc/v-deo.html
Thank you
Hey man, what if Topalov put Q to b2 at 8:19 sec. Of this video threatening attack on R.a1. and so this would might be completely a game changing move, i would like to know your move after Q.b8 to Q.b2.
What would you play after this move.
masterpiece. Karpov was engineered to kill Fisher, I believe he may be able to do it. His positional game was so strong as to exasperate mixed players like Kasparov or Fisher.
haha, he may very well have beat Fischer in 1975.
@Jaime Duncan: Fischer was an excellent positional and tactical player and could have matched Karpov at his best had he (Fischer) played at the strength of 1971/2. Kasparov clearly came out on top in his five titanic matches with Karpov, but it was close all the way. Masterpiece is one word.
Stockfish says Bobby was the 3rd most accurate player of all time and him and morphy had the best win percentages. Bobby had about a 60% chance every game to beat Karpov in 75, that is a pretty sizeable advantage. Heck, Karpov playing in interzonal of 73 had only a 2550 rating, bobbys was 2785 and took karpov years to get to the same level. Bobby also had more accuracy the Kasperov too. Factoring in their win percentages, morphy and bobby were the two greatest players of all time.
One of the best in history, along Carlsen, Kasparov and Fischer.
and the wonderful genius Capablanca
At 3:20, How does putting queen on b8 tell about fianchetto plan?
Co-ordination on black diagonals for the middle game.
- " His rooks were suicidals, SUICIDALS !!! " (Black King desperate for his fallen pawns...)
what a game
Topalov has a good eye for immortal😅
Positional Karpov won in Tal´s style :-)
wow 9=4=0, amazing performace
How is Qh6+ winning faster at 9:42?
if Ke7, then Qf6++, or if Kg8 then Bd5++
