- 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.
Agree.
@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.
@philabauer Your whole being is ridiculous.
Right on fischer wrong on magnus @philabauer
@philabauermagnus said it wasnt worth it even for the money. He doesnt think anyone can actualky take the title frim him either
i feel like youre the best channel for straight up chess recaps. good pacing and suitable amount of explanation without being too simple or too advanced. good stuff
100%
Karpov is a very instructive player to watch. Small, mysterious moves and gradually builds an overwhelming position.
Great video.
I remember a joke about 'Karpov's Rules of Chess': 1) Play perfectly, 2) After your opponent makes a mistake grind them to dust 🤣
More Karpov please
At that time Karpov was training with GM Seymour Furman, a world class theoretician and probably the best trainer in Russia.
In "games withouth tactics" there is usually a lot of tactics. You just don't see them ;-)
Plenty of tactics of prophylaxis.
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
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!
Actually, that game will be coming up soon.
The endgame master! i recently bought a book about him, but your detailed analysis is more instructive. Keep it up!
If I may ask, what book did you buy? Thanks.
@@mandelaarchibong8176 i guess it called “The Exceptional Endgame Skills”
@@mandelaarchibong8176 sorry for the late response. I guess it called”Endgame Virtuoso Anatoly Karpov” by Tibor and Nick
That travelling rook won the match. What a masterful display.
Karpov is a great champion.
I spoke to him once. He asked me where the toilet was during the 1986 World Championship match with Kasparov at the Park Lane Hotel, London, in 1986. I'm afraid none of his genius rubbed off onto me though.
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?
Love Your Chess Channel!
Sheer artistry. Reminiscent of the famous game Rubinstein-Lasker.
Candidate master at age 11. Age 72 today. Still playing top level chess. Very underrated GM.
His best games book is superb. Also strong is Kasparov's Predecessors book on him.
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
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 .
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.
@@FloydMaxwell Very few have a head to head v Kasparov as good as his
Great analysis, well explained and the genius of Karpov's style in this game is clear.
Nice content, Great channel. Keep going!
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.
That’s fascinating! Thank you.
Carlsen resembles Karpov's playstyle. He is like the improved Karpov. Anyway, spectacular game from Anatoly.
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.
The 14.Be2 was also played to prevent Nf3+ winning the queen.
Thank you for these very instructive positional masterpieces from Capablanca and Karpov. Rubinstein played in much the same way.
Thank you for your entertaining and instructional videos.
Better call ChessDawg! Great game! Weren't there some tactics involved though in why black didn't take the passed pawn even though he seemingly had the opportunity twice, first with the bishop and then the knight?
I was wondering the same.
I know this is probably obvious but for anyone wondering at 07:33 why black doesn't play Nxh4 then Bg5 loses a piece....
Please post some videos on Leonid stein chess games.
I like your videos. You explain the moves and why in a clear way.
Great channel and great game choices Dawg! Much appreciated! You may want to consider looking at some of the games from the Korchnoi -Spassky match of 1977. Korchnoi at the height of his powers but Spassky brought it too!
This game is Super WELL KNOWN, featured in many books
There is a slight improvement in ChessDawg's pronunciation of Alekhine, and I respect that! Little steps, little steps. Thanks for your videos.
No one cares.
I remember now: Karpov Unzicker 1974, a true Masterpiece by Karpov.
Thanks for reminding me about that one. I will plan to cover that in the future.
@@chessdawg Thanks for the reply. For me, that Bisschop on a7, its closer to Art than to Chess. Looking forward to your analysis. Kr.
Great explanation!!
Another great video!
Karpov played one of the greatest Chess games in history, with a bishop I believe on a7 totally blocking black game for many moves, unfortunately I don't remember the opponent, it was a true fantastic display by the master, I hope you can find it.
vs Unzicker
@@nicknamenescio Yes indeed, after searching, I found it out already and I sent the info to the channel owner but thanks anyway for your kind feedback!
Hi , could you explain a game of Ulf Andersson ?
Obscure Rg4 played: "a typical karpovian move".
(7:20) Qf6 - why this move instead of Bxh2 - since (6:40) "bishop to e5, attacking the pawn on b2"?
A great player, a great champion !
Purpose of rg4 is to prevent qh4
You pronouced it co rrectly !!!😊😊😊
(1.10) Almost perfect, but " 'Sche-ve-nin-gen ": ['sxei-vuh-ning-'n) - (the [x] as inScottish loch). It is one of the more difficultof the many unpronounceable Dutch words. (The beach side district of Den Haag. Guess yóu know hat.)
didn't karpov calculate? what a stupid affirmation.
Why didn't Hort play BH2 after RG4 6:48?
❤❤❤❤
The Karpov opening...pawn to e4...I win!
"Shvengen".
Only "a couple of _minor tactics_ "? 😅
Capablanca used a petit combination. Nothing deep, "simple" chess.
Why did the knight not capture the pawn on H4? 7:33
The answer Bg5 is very sad for black!
Because u suck at chess that’s why.
Not convincing at all. Sharp sicilian, no tactics? Bullshit.
He doesn’t
"without calculating!"...."appears not to calculate". Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu shyster.
Nice game, Karpov is somehow not on my radar, maybe because Garry could dominate him so thoroughly in the 80ies.
What the heck are you talking about with "dominating so thoroughly"? 21-19 in 144 games for the World Championships is the closest score there ever was! Learn your facts before spreading nonsense!
@@federicoguerrero7365 Yeah, whatever! Kasparov won all the WC-battles against Karpov, and that is what matters!
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.😮
Such a dumb take
